How to Play Guitar on Dust in the Wind by Kansas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- A last-minute addition to the track lineup for Point of Know Return, "Dust in the Wind" would also be its greatest success. The guitar line for this song was written by Kerry Livgren as a finger exercise for learning fingerpicking. His wife, Vicci, heard what he was doing, remarked that the melody was nice, and encouraged him to write lyrics for it. Livgren was unsure whether his fellow band members would like it, since it was a departure from their signature style. After he played the demo for the band, there was a "stunned silence" and the band asked him, "Kerry, where has this been?" The title of the song is a Bible reference, paraphrasing Ecclesiastes: “I reflected on everything that is accomplished by man on earth, and I concluded: Everything he has accomplished is futile - like chasing the wind!"
Best tutorial I ever seen if you can’t play this after a few weeks of practice 1 or 2 hours a day I don’t know this guy shows you everything in super detailed way top class thank you so much I was playing it wrong I had one nite in the pattern wrong way round thanks so much and cheers from Ireland your my new go to guy take care and stay safe 🇮🇪🇮🇪
I don't know how I learned it this fast but I'm a casual guitarist play average 1 hour a day and self taught myself for about 2 years consistently after having guitar lessons 6 years back and I have nailed the picking and the whole into here in about an hour 😅
@@rid12 thank s my man thats amazing i also have it nailed now take it easy ...brian ireland
@@dieselman7453 it's almost natural to your fingers at this point
@@rid12 LOL, I'm just starting with the finger picking. I agree this is an amazing video, but my fingers would totally disagree this is almost natural. Maybe later....
@@pepper8048 oh for sure I have been playing this for about 4 months and learned a couple different finger picking songs with different patterns, because I got this one down it's much easier to learn the rest
Best video ever.... I've seen many of people teaching others to play the guitar but lot less detail... I've been playing dust in the wind sense I was 16 I'm 62 years old now, but it never gets old...you rock my brother....
I know this is an old video, but I have to mirror what everyone else has said. This is the best one I have seen. I have watched dozens of videos on this song and I was always missing something. This is the only video I have seen that mentions the accent on the third note. That makes all the difference.
I've been stuck knowing only how to play the intro for weeks... until google suggested this video and I watched each section several times.. Amazing job Rob Schumann - thank you!
Seriously, this is far and away the best and easiest video lesson of this song I have yet come across in my 5 years of laying. There are some other excellent videos for how to perform this song, but none quite combine the excellent detailed video, tabs, and explanation. Simply suberb. Subscribing.
Kerry Livgren plays this in Travis style with the thumb alternating between the 4th and 5th strings rather than the classical style of this lesson where the thumb stays on the fifth string. I've always played it Travis style, which is much easier for me and makes the syncopation feel more natural. Most fingerstyle guitar (but maybe not classical style) uses an alternating thumb pattern. You only need thumb, index and middle finger to do it Travis style. No need to involve ring finger. See Marty Schwartz youtube lesson for learning it Travis style. Either way, the notes come out the same.
I also prefer to alternate the thumb between the 3 base strings. Seems more appropriate for travis picking fingerstyle.
This is probably one of the best guitar tutorials here on youtube. Excellent! Thank you.
Best lesson on DUST IN THE WIND 👌😊💨 thankssss sir for this fabulous tutorial ✌ 😎 🎸
Awesome!... Thanks!...:-)
Wow finally I learnt that song, thanks a lot. Nice everything, visual, method, sound, voice, pace and beauty !
The close up on your left hand is much better than trying to decipher which fingers are actually making contact as in most videos. If you posted the chord tab it would be great.
Your class is incredible. I got a little lost in the speed, but I managed to learn the song with your help. Now it's time to rehearse a lot because it's beautiful to hear and exciting to play. Thank you very much. Glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much! I’ve watched several UA-cam instructors for this song and found it so easy to follow with your instruction- the video angles are perfect!!
So excited to finish learning this now.
thank you sir for teaching the plucking of dust in the wind i only watch for 1 night i pick it up so its very clear and understanding
Kerry Livgren( the songwriter ) states in his autobiography " Seeds of Change" that Kansas performs the song with two guitars, one tuned differently than the other to (partially) achieve the sound from the album version.
You are a very good teacher! Really nice! Thanks!!
So awesome! This is what all utuber needs to do so we can see real close the guitar esp the picking pattern. Thank u so much sir! ❤
This is the best instructional video for this song that I have found, thank you!
The best of all dust in the wind vids. BY FAR. thx,
Thanks a lot for remember me this beautiful song that I've forgotten since a long time ago, so happy to can learn it now ! GREAT SONG !!!! 😃😃🎶🎶🎻
GREAT, THANKS.
Love love love your tutorial. I can play this pattern very slowly, and couldn't recognise the melodie. Now I'm sure it will be Ok !!! You're my guitar(lele) Guru!
wow !!! excellent way of teaching very detailed and clear…. thank you 🙏
You're the best! Thank you for sharing this and your talent.
Awesome instructor ! well organized lessons break down steps. Thank you very much
By far the best instruction for this song on all of UA-cam. Sincere thanks.
Knowledgeable and excellent presentation! Likeable, patient and calm voice; clearly shown; well illustrated; super instructional video overall. Very well taught! Thank you! Subscribed.
La mejor y mas clara lección que he encontrado, y he visto un montón.
Very nice lesson. I came across it & figured I’d watch as a refresher. I just realized I play the picking pattern using my thumb on both bottom notes (since that’s so much of Travis-type picking I guess) then just use index & middle for the higher strings. I tried doing it the way you’re showing and it’s freakin me out! LOL
👍 great and easy explanation of one of the best songs ever
Best lesson I've found! Thanks. And I tried multiple.
Same for reaal
Espacially the plugging part
Very good tutorial explanation and demonstration.
Just discovered you as have begun learning guitar. Really appreciate your method. Especially appreciate the background info of the song.
You are a master teacher. Thank you, thank you so much. Bert from the Netherlands 😊
Buena y clara explicación. Good and clear explanation.
Very well explained and performed. Thank you so much.
I'd have to say this is the best tutorial I've seen for Dust in the Wind. Keep up the great work!
best tutorial period on any song
Amazing, the easiest instructional video I have seen, excellent.
The best tutorial. Thank you Rob S.
I’m glad he stays old school and names the chords rather than all the mumbo jumbo of naming every string, fret, finger that most tablature calls for...
I used to know how to play this song but it's been years. I need to 'dust' off my guitar!
Lol good pun lol
Me 2
Very beautiful song
Great tutorial though I've learned it with a few different chords. Thanks very much for playing it through with the recording. That was a great help for me!
Now I'd be totally in heaven if you'd do a tutorial for Fleetwood Mac's Landslide! I'm so tired of endless tutorials that aren't correct.
Look up the original guitarists how to video, Lindsey Buckingham
Good, solid teaching! Most chord references for this song use Dm7 instead of the Dm chord. Thanks for a fine tutorial! I like the Dm chord!
Eddie T , I think the 7th chord adds a bit more texture to the melody :)
Thank you! I never could figure out the second part of that song!!!!!! Thank you
Best lesson. Every easily explained. Thanks 🙏
Where can I find more instruction from this fellow?....Best instruction video I have seen!
This finger picking style is called a Travis picking. Good tutorial.

Great tutorial, that guitar sounds sweet.
Tks nice present
I use my thumb for the top two stings in the right hand pattern. That way it’s easier to transfer this pattern to other chords. And getting a boom/chick going.
Best teacher ☝️👍👍👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Best tutorial, love it!
I like this tutorial.
Fantastic thanks 5 star ⭐
Most welcome 😊
wow this is an amazing lesson everything is phenomenal about it but I urge people to do before you start getting too confused and falling off the tracks in the whole thing derails if you know how to play the chords it'll be easy for you don't worry about those yet....
anytime I take on any kind of a unique finger-picking that I'm not familiar with the song or different style the best thing to do is learn that right hand the alternating bass notes and everything get it playing smoothly get it playing perfectly take as much time as it takes to where you can make it sound nice and crisp and clear... get that finger style as far as the alternating down smoothly and then work on the chords it'll all come together you can do it anyway you want but I'm just saying in my opinion it's a lot easier to learn the right hand parts before you begin fretting and chording🎶🤔🎶🎸🚛

Tanks you !❤
**GREAT!!! THANK YOU!!!**
very well done. Dm or Dm7? take your choice both sound fine. Songmaster obviously has some classical guitar background. enjoyed the presentation.
I use Dm7.
Fantastic!!
This was great, would you please do Leo Kotke The Fisherman?
i'm loving it! the best, well done bro.
beautiful timeless classic song and very well explained for the right hand. I have been avoiding fingerpicking. I wonder is this same right hand pattern used all the time when finger picking?
Thank you for the tutorial, it is amazing!! Is there anyway you can share the tabs? Thank you
