  • Here's a fabulous song that everyone should know - join me to learn an EZ version as we put the chord shapes and right hand picking patterns together. As always, we do a slow playalong and then it's full speed ahead for a full length concert speed playalong. Fun! Stay tuned at the end of the video for some lead bits too!
    Songsheets are always available at / guitaratwork
    And.....we'll be playing along with the fabulous BEATBUDDY drum machine pedal and we'll be using the amazing AEROS Loop Studio pedal from Singular Sound. Play along with me!

    Another fun lesson, going to be a real test of my picking accuracy but that’s a good thing.
    Also looking forward to trying the scale work. Just means a bunch of practice before my loops sound any good. Said it before, the looper really lets you hear how good your doing. It really allows you to hold a mirror up to your playing.
    Hey, hope your having a good summer and are able to find a cool shady place to enjoy it.
    Thanks again Shane.

    I use to play it the original way, but by the time you get to the end of the song, well man-o-man, a bit of a workout for sure.... thx for sharing as I'm going to revisit this tune but play it this way as we are possibly adding to a live setlist and I need to save my hands for our other 39 songs lol.

    Hey, I just found your channel (and subscribed), talk about right down my alley! I have played for years but still consider myself the "Friday (or Saturday) night get together with a friend or two and pretend we can play" level player. Many of the songs you have here are exactly what I love to play.
    Anyway, I may have missed it but, do you or can you make one on Blind Faiths "Can't Find My Way Home"? I kind of play it something of a drop D version and would really be interested in your intermediate level interpretation of the song if possible. Thanks man! I've already picked up one or two songs from your videos and really appreciate your work and your teaching/playing style.

    Yoga chords? You gotta do stretches before you play this song. I only ever wanted to play this song at the end of the set because my pinkie finger would ache afterwards. I initially asked the band if we could lower the song by one itty bitty little step so it would be easier and our prima donna singer wouldn't have it. This was years ago and although we're still basically friends I hate that guy.
