For today's guitar lesson we will take a look at "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce.
Originally released in 1972 but then re-issued as a single after his tragic death in a plane crash in 1973, "Time In A Bottle" went on to become a No.1 hit.
In this Time In A Bottle guitar lesson I will show you the complete song in it's entirety minus the lead guitar part that is played along with the rhythm guitar parts taught in this lesson.
What I wanted to teach in this lesson is basically Jim Croce's parts, or the ones he would play live.
The entire song is fingerpicked and can be quite intricate. However, if you follow along with the lesson slowly, you will notice fingerpicking patterns start to emerge. I will point them out when we get to them.
Memorizing these patterns will speed up the amount of time it will take you to memorize Time In A Bottle drastically.
As with most songs, I suggest you play everything at a slow to moderate tempo before raising it up to full speed. This will insure that you play all of those intricate fingerpicking passages cleanly.
OK.. Good Luck!!
Carl..
My fingers grew abs learning this song
imagine learning asturias
Wow. Jim Croce was really a great guitarist. This isn't easy.
He was a great guitarist and even better songwriter, but this song is really not THAT hard to play... to create, that's another story
@@rodriguezelfeliz4623 yeah, but the position on the fingers, Good bye pinky. I think I have a short pinky
Compensate with your
Wrist finger size is the number one excuse just saying
You don’t mess around with Jim
Jim was a force in songwriting. Maurice T. Muehleise was the force behind the guitar licks.
thanks quicksilver
bruh !
Yeah
ze ddz No, Quicksilver is a super hero from The X-Men, his power is being super fast so he literally can save time in a bottle. This song plays in the background of a scene with him running around with everything in slow motion
@@jaimedrum dont you mean yellow angry bird?
Great name for him
I'm so glad that Carl didn't miss this masterpiece of croce which is often overlooked by guitar mentor ❤️
intro 0:58 -> 5:20
verse 1 10:10
d major section 11:10
d minor instrumental 14:40
outro 16:28
HAHAH dude thanks you are the realest
Mwah
Thanks brother
God bless you sir
😙
I know it been 4 years but i just had say what a great lesson this was., well worth the time to learn it.
, glad you did this arrangement even if it does take a little longer to learn, i am enjoying playing it now thanks
Absolutely he explained it so well I could learn the song before lunch it’s really easy when you get down to the nitty gritty it’s only the half notes that is kinda hard but that’s just finger placement
It would be good if I had a foot pedal to control the video so I could stop, reverse, forward without having to leave the guitar
Such a great idea. Make it happen
Yeahi will buy it but dont make it over 50 bucks please
If you use a headphone with a start/stop button on it, you can actually use it to pause/play videos.
Just put your keyboard on the floor and use your toes for control :D
Or you can just grow a 3rd arm it would be so much easier
This is one of my all-time favorite songs ever written. Thanks man.
You're a real asset to the guitar world.
I admire your hard work & patience.
Thank you so much dude!!!!! Over the years, you taught me Nothing else matters, Country Roads, and today, you taught me how to play joker and the thief!!!
Can't wait to learn this tomorrow!!!!! (It's the middle of the night over here)
To put in so much time and effort for complete strangers on the internet is so kind and soooo helpful of you!!!
Thank you so much, man!!! You rock!!!!!!!!!!!
13:33 teacher tired as hell like "why am i doing this"
Literally 😂 the tutorial was all slow and patient and rlly good and as the video went on it just got more and more rushed
Complex song cant blame him
Jesus Christ it's jason Bourne
FYI at 1:55. The 4th (pinky) drops from the 4th fret to the third. If you switch the 3rd and 4th fingers as you transition to the new chord you will lose the second string D (3rd finger). If you listen closely on the recording you will notice that there is no abrupt change or loss of sustaining D on the second string. Overall, great job!
Thanks lol
Thankyou for teaching this acoustic classic and playing the sections slowly during the lesson to play along. Great composition and excellent piece for technique.
Me and my wife have gone through time together 45 years so far. This song is still relevant.
i can't hit the 4th fret with my pinky..my hands are too small..im gonna go cry myself to sleep now :(
accioahobbit Dont give up! It's allways hard at the beginning, but if you don't give up, you will be playing great, trust me :)
accioahobbit If your hands are really too small, you will probably run into this problem more often.
Rather than buying a smaller guitar, where the frets are placed closer together, you could tune all your strings down (to drop-D for example, or even lower). Now all notes you need to play are located around an area where the frets are narrower. Place a capo on the fret that allows you to comfortably use your pink, while making sure your guitar is still tuned properly for the song.
It's not the most beautiful solution, but it does offer a solution. Just needs you to think outside your box of wishes. Once you're comfortable with playing the song, try tuning the string up one step, and see how your pinky feels about it. Good luck.
accioahobbit same here, but i kept trying and now i manage to play it :)
accioahobbit I doubt your hands are too small. This is a difficult shape. I struggled with it until someone showed me how.
First make a Dm shape. Place your thumb behind your ring finger (which is quite far down). Push the neck of the guitar out so far that the neck is pointed away from you like your guitar grandpa's shotgun. Now reach with your pinky to fourth fret by bringing your elbow toward the guitar.
From here it will still take some practice but should no longer feel painful and too awkward.
+accioahobbit If you were to capo it up the frets would get smaller and you'd be able to reach. My fingers are too long to get most bar chords right.
This is one of the best guitar tutorials out there... hands down
I can now play this beautiful song thanks to a video made over 10 years ago. Thanks brother.
I've always wanted to learn this song. Thank you so much. It's such a beautiful song.
Great lesson man. The only thing I wish you had done was at the end play the whole song though, because im confused as to the progression of the song. that is to say when to play the chorus and verse and when they repeat.
same
It goes something like this.
Intro
Dm Verse x2
D Chorus x2
Dm Subdued
Dm Verse
D Chorus x2
Outro
The best guitarist who teaches songs on utube believe me
When loki decides to make guitar tutorial
😂😂😂
He looks more like Keanu Reeves
kapishilization b Dudes C’mon it’s obvious he is Patrick Wilson (if you don’t know just type in google)
@@unlem7626 mixed with a bit of Micheal keaton.
Lol
Maybe he is doctor strange
Thanks for the lesson! I was close but you showed me a few notes that really make a difference!
Hey Carl, can you please do a lesson on I got a name by Jim Croce?
You are a great teacher! one of the best around
Every song that I'm looking for this dude has.
You are a great player 40 years I'm not a third as good as you, total admiration
Hey Carl. Love your videos and they are super helpful! when you get the chance could you do the lesson for "Operator" and "New York's not my home"? I can't find very many reliable tabs or lessons. Lately I've been doing a lot of acoustic stuff like Jim Croce, John Denver, James Taylor. Please and thanks Carl!
really wish you would of played the whole thing through again at the end of the vid. great lesson tho
What a terrific lesson!
Thanks a bunch, your a good teacher. I always wanted to play this song. Poor Jim died far too young.
Jim lives forever
i just want to give you a HUGe thanks. I'm having to play and sing this for a memorial service, and you saved me tons of time. THANK YOU!
actually a great lesson wish I could go slowly along with the.video.. damn I.wanna play.and.sing. this.one.together
Great lesson. Just the right pace and level of explanation, and multi screens into the bargain.
Just a beautiful song amazing Jim Croce was amazing
Your a very good distinctive mentor I like your patience. Awesome vid
I always loved this song. My acoustic has been gathering dust so I decided to set aside the electric shredding and try this. That intro is like an exercise from Rock Discipline. F this song. Back to the closet, Alvarez Yairi.
Carl brown I really miss u, I broke my guitar cnt affod new one nw so cnt follow u nw, but thnks to u for all those tips n lessons, good on u man, loved u man!!
I have to learn this...
Beautiful and a great lesson / guidance...
More please and maybe the other guitar part for this one 👍 👌 👍 👌?
Your acoustic sounds stunning.Great balance across the strings
Thank you very much for sharing such a great and high quality lesson! Great job
Curse my 2 millimeter pinky
That was Awesome!thank you.you made that so much faster to pick up.just totally Awesome!
What a great lesson! Thanks a million, you are great!
Yo for anyone who can't get the last pinky I was ready to give up but just move ur fingers around to give them the most stretch in the way u like. Play round with it till u find which way suits u
I haven’t tried it yet but I feel like this is going to be easier then it looks or harder then it looks
8 yrs n still stay relevant...truely time in a bottle. Thks for sharing. But I have to you do look like the great swed tennis player Stefan Edberg. Cheers!
*tries intro, hand cramps up
:o
I just use my ring finger for that pinky stretch because my pinky isn't strong yet. It works ...thanks for this video!
What a fabulous lesson. Thank you sir!!!
Ok this a super fun song to learn! Thanks for teaching!
Very helpful. I seem to have modified your transition from where he says "I'd like to do". Still getting it closer. I'm 51, loved Croce since childhood, played fingerstyle for years, couldn't seem to figure this out on my own right off, so found your video and cheated. Thanks.
I have a suggestion why not try SHUTUP &PLAY site, also the same song lesson.
Great work. Thx
Nice lesson
Thank you so much Carl! This tutorial is awesome!!
Thank you so much for the lesson! Very clear :)
Excellent teacher 👍
Such a great song
Thanks bro ❤
Damn that was smooth
Great lesson my friend - to note - Anyone who finds hitting that C sharp off the Dminor chord impossible ( see myself )..Tune each string down a whole step..put a capo on the second fret and you should be able to reach it ..
Wow, you are correct. I tried it without tuning down just to see the difference and it’s a huge difference on the playability. I have piano fingers and it was a little bit of a stretch
What a great lesson. Thanks so much!
9 yrs ago u posted? Well: hope u r well and family!
The lead part is rather easy and it's beautiful.
this is a perfect description for playing the song thx
You are a amazing teacher..
Such a great song. Thanks Carl
thank you for sharing your talent
Thanks man
Maan you are literally the best!! 👑
Guys dont give up.. I wanted to learn it too and I did
picking up at 8:35!
Thanks for sharing man! Love this song, guess i'll try to play it sometime
Thank you so much for this tutorial...I have always wanted to learn this, and your video is the best one I have found...I think the left hand (apart from the pinky stretch) is relatively easy, and it's the different picking patterns with the right hand which is hard to remember (for me anyway)...Thanks to people like you, we can replay the video gazillions of times and learn it step by step !
+Nik Gnashers thanks Nik, your right this is challenging to play. It is so beautiful though that it is well worth the effort. :)
Excellent, can play it all the way through now (albeit slowly), subscribed, in case you ever do a tutorial on 'windmills of your mind' lol !
Great Tutorial Thanks dude
Nice job! Learning a lot from this video.
Thank you for uploading.
good lesson, thanks.
Great as always
Great lesson! thank you
Nice job as usual!
Great video! Thanks so much.
thanks for sharing. Love it!🥰
Iam your student. I'm learning it step by step. Thanks
Great as usual! Keep 'em coming!!
Thanks a lot! I've used your arrangement and posted this song on my channel.
Guitar is beautiful. :)
you look like young Kevin Durand! definitely subscribing:)
this is a lovely song to learn but its a bit of a stretch for those with short fingers but im gonna persevere with it
can you make a photographs and memories tutorial by jim croce. Thanks!
nice lesson!
I'm incredibly late but please do more Jim songs Carl, great lesson
Is this really mick mars??
@@loganstegall2835 I'm afraid not, just a big fan of his guitar playing :)
Great job! Thanks so much for sharing this. :)
EXCELENT
Fabulous lesson!!!! what guitar are you using there? it looks and sounds tremendous!!!
Thank you so much for the explanations and the use of the multiple frame presentation. I did find that I needed some sheet music to wrap my head around this piece, but I still come back to your explanation and demonstrations time and again during my practice sessions. You've been a great help. Cheers!
Nice hair bro !🤟
Thanks Carl
I'll have to say I love you in a song by Jim Croce please?
Maury Muehleisen the greatest guitar player that no one ever heard of.... Thanks for the lesson.
Yeah… I’m still wondering if Maury actually played those stretches and Jim played the middle D minor section without the minor 3rd throughout the verses. You never know in the studio and Maury seemed like it didn’t matter who got credit. There’s a lot going on - a lot of notes weaving in and around - there’s even a harpsichord in the mix. It’s a shame they never got to play it live (that I know of)
Jim Croce is the real Mario...
Good day sir... Can you do a tutorial of dan fogelberg's leader of the band?please.....
