Something so refreshing about the teacher saying you might have to stop and practice this bit or it’s okay not to get it straight away or this is the trickiest bit. Makes you feel fine about not getting it straight away and wanting to keep trying. Amazing lesson thanks champ
Hi Pete. Your comment is expressed exactly how I feel. Like..."its ok - don't expect miracles...be patient". The teacher's demeanor makes me want to stick with it and not let him down!
"Cluster-pluck". Love it...
HAHAHA! No more calling that a pinch! Now I can NEVER UNHEAR THAT!!!
I love this song. awesome instruction.
Thanks for that. My best to you! Shane
Thank you ,and merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you - all the best! Shane

Awesome lesson, you remind me a lot of Billy Sheehan the way you talk and break things down
Thank you Ray - Billy is fabulous. Glad to have you here with us.
Shane
Very nice lesson...great advice to get the chord progression down first then add the picking bar by bar. I looked at several lessons on this and yours is the one that got me there. THANK YOU
Fabulous - thanks for that. Have fun with it! Shane
Shane is my go to teacher for guitar lessons, I always learn something! An excellent teacher.
Thanks Matt - really a great comment to receive - makes my day - thank!
Shane
Awesome tutorial thank you so much for your time and effort. I've always wanted to try and play this song but thought it was way beyond me. After 20 minutes thanks to the clarity of your lesson I think I've got the intro nailed! 👍
Thank you Nic - so great to hear that. I really hope you have fun with it. Cheers!
Shane
Great lesson,many Thanks
Hi Shane, brilliant breakdown as always....explains it perfectly and now I’m playing it !
Thanks Shane.
Thanks for that - so great to hear of your success - my best to you,
Shane
Came across your channel tonight and glad I did. Brilliant instruction. Best I have come across on youtube.
Hey Shane. I just came across this one. You take a song which I can play with simple cowboy open chords and turn it into an amazing piece of melodic music with your technique and application. Really makes playing the instrument so much more fun. Also, if I could play like you I would never put the guitar down.
Thank you Chas - I really appreciate that. Very glad to have you here with us and I hope you're having fun with it!
Shane

Very well made video. Professional quality and you teach overview first then details and you review. You really care about students learning. Thank you
Thank you for that Art Music - a wonderful comment to receive, my best to you!
Shane
everything beyond what was just shown is embellishment and color. this is exactly as i was instructed years ago. crowd pleaser. bonfire or gig or show.
What a great little lesson for a Sunday afternoon. Now I know how to play this properly! So clearly explained. Thanks very much Shane.
Thanks for that - hope you had fun with it. Cheers,
Shane

Shane
Another great lesson, thank you
Thank you Rubba - hope it's all going well. Shane
@@GuitarAtWork cool that u reply to everyone, just feeding the CZcams beast, hoping you get more views. You earn it. Obviously you love teaching music and your tabs n such are free. Awesome
Hi Shane , your comments about so many versions and what do you really need to play a song is so appropriate here. Your focus on the A chord is bang on too.Using other than 234 fingers is almost impossible. Never seen it suggested it be done this way but for this tune right on.thank you for making this tune doable for me now.
Thank you John. Cheers! Shane
Shane, another thoughtful, detailed tutorial. How do you do it? You’re looking and sounding better than ever. Will you ever post you singing a song? Would love to hear. Thank you for this. 🙏
Thank you Arielle - so encouraging!
Great informative lesson...only thing I might say is that the most common thing most of these utube tutorials do is spend waaay too much time talking...it's not that complicated and I can always back it up if I need to catch something I missed....but other than that was very complete lesson...
Hey Shane! Great to see you back again with another lesson! Keep ‘em coming! Can you teach “Baptism” by Randy Travis please?
love it ..Can't seem to find the tab on patreon .. I am a member sna supporter of you there ..Thanks so much
Awesome! Thank you very much This filled in a lot of the holes I had while trying to play this song. (I had more holes than song, ha ha.)
Brilliant Shane...Just brilliant as usual 😎. Any chance of "R.O.C.K. in the USA" by John Cougar? Always loved that song
Good !!!
Thank you Carlo - I worked hard on this video and I really hope you enjoy it!
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork thanks to you, I look forward to your lessons with trepidation
Love your lessons Shane, thank you .Have you done an acoustic version of Man of the World by Fleetwood Mac yet?
Shane
Brilliant mate any chance you could teach us Carolina in my Mind also by the fabulous James Taylor
Como não te esperar há tempo .... chuva ou sol...💘💙💚💛
Great lesson! On the intro for the A shape, since the D string is not played, why not shift the fingers so the hammer on and pull off is not with the pinky?
I'd love to see catch the wind by Donovan if you havnt already done it.
HEY SHANE, I JUST NOW 2 ND VIDEO, FOUND YOUR WORK, VERY NICE AND THE MUSIC I LOVE. I AM 76, A GRUMPY OLD/ YOUNG GUY TRYING TO LEARN GUITAR. I JUST WANT TO SING. CAN I DO A TRAVIS PICKING FOR THIS TUNE AND MANY OTHERS AS JOHN DENVER DID IN MANY OF HIS SONGS, I BELIEVE?? JOHN WAS ACCOMPLISHED BUT HE SEEMED TO PLAY SAME PATTERN/ TECHNIQUE??? I JUST WANT TO JAM WITH SOME FRIENDS AND SING THE MUSIC I LOVE AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thanks for that - you could certainly find a way to just Travis pick the whole way through for sure. It won't give you the signature ideas in the song but you'll be able to do a version you can sing to. Cheers,
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork thanks for responding. Where would I find that info?? If I sign on to your Patron page??
Shane I am having a hard time following Gmaj7 picking in Bar4 of the Verse. Any help - please???? You are helping me so much learn the language of the guitar.
In these difficult times, how about a lesson on Bruce Hornsby That’s Just The Way It Is ..... a great song and fairly easy...
any chance you might do Wicked Games by Chris Issac please
That guitar sounds great. Well with the $$ thousands
Marvellous lesson, how do I get the TAB?
Thanks for that - very glad you enjoyed. You can get TAB for this song and many many more at patreon.com/guitaratwork
Cheers! Shane
Love this song! Good job on the lesson. Do I really need nails though to play fingerstyle? I do typing for a living and nails would be a no-no for me, although I think I would really not want them anyway. Can you actually get a decent volume with flesh only?
You might want to consider a set of picks...perhaps they would be helpful. Good luck.
Thanks for that Astronomy79 - there are some great players who do not have nails - they get a more mellow tone and it's great. I have always used my nails for finger style guitar - I find they do help. cheers, Shane
Мне всё очень нравится!!!
Скажите пожалуйста --какие струны Вы используете?
Я--Ваш подписчик ))
you agreed
Estou anciosa pra te ver!!!! Ficar!!!💘 Amar...te amo tanto... só você!
Thank you Claudia - my best to you, Shane
Hey dude, is your guitar the 614ce?
Hi Jorge - thanks for that - it's the 814CE about 4 years old now. I really love it. Cheers,
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork WOW! Beautiful guitar, and you make it sound superb, congrats Shane... I thank you for sharing with us all your knowledge with so much generosity. Hope to hear sometime "Time in a bottle", one of my favorites by Jim Croce... And/or "The leader of the band" by Dan Fogelberg... Best regards Maestro! GOD bless you.
Why thee capo? Im. Curious not dissrespectf. Please let mee know
Não sei viver sem você meu amor ❤️💋💘💋te amo só você!!!
Thank you Claudia - I wish that I could speak your lovely language - my best to you,
Shane
You could get stuck in an A loop forever, a?
Listen,..if you can get me to learn THIS PIECE,... 🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏, you would become my new S/hero!!! 🤯
Chuva e sol!!!! Amo só você muito!!!🍒🍷💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Move over Marty
So you have to join the $10 a month Patreon subscription to get the tab. 😳
That's right Tonya - thanks for asking. There are many other song sheets there as well for other videos that I'm sure you will enjoy, as well as a forum for asking questions and I am happy to help. Cheers!
Shane
@Tonya Tee Shane is worth easily 10x that. Hope you consider contributing to his artistry. You wouldn’t meet a kinder soul. Good luck with your playing 🙏
This bloke is a machine gun he has to slow down a bit.
Hahah! Totally. Guy is crazy
Sorry for unnecessary incessant talks instead of more play with demo. Without voice over the tutorial would have been better and effective.
