You teach this song like my local weather man gives the weekly forecast. Nice.
Appreciate the time you give to teach and explain these great songs
Thank you Bud - great to hear that - much appreciated!
Shane
shane, i just want to thank you for this and all your other great vids.
i really love your laid back, easy going style and approach. your lessons are so enjoyable because it’s clear you’re having fun yourself.
your lessons are easy to follow and stress free. loved your ‘rocky mountain way’ tutorial as well.
thanks so much for what you contribute to the guitar playing community. ‘gold rings on ya’ as keef says :)
Thank you Jim - Really great to read your comment. Happy to have you with us here and hope you are having a ton of fun with it!
Shane
Oh this is such a great lesson - thank you! Really enjoying learning this in Coronavirus lockdown!
This is a Great lesson....congratulation on your style and the structure of the lesson.
Awesome stuff! It has a bit of a "waltz" feel to it, married to a Fats Domino or Smokey Robinson R&B rhythm. I simply LOVE the Eagles!
Thank you so much for getting to the points! I hope you teach professionally because you're an excellent teacher! Love it man!
Great tutorial again Shane
Thanks for support wish I had your teaching yrs ago
I may of been able to play properly by now
Love your style of instruction. Thanks.
I'd like to hear you run through the full song at the end, and go 'head and ham it up a bit, give it your best Randy!
Great job. Love your delivery. The pace, at least for me, is perfect. You talk fast but articulate and clear to the point that not much rewinding is necessary.
Thanks for the great lesson.
Great lesson man it’s one of my favorite songs!
This a great tutorial, favourite I've found for this song, found it really easy to follow, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Alan!
Thanks for this. I am 55 and played a little in younger days then life stopped all that. Now kids are grown and I am playing again.
Great to hear it Patty - I know many people in that same situation - they are having a ton of fun playing - hope same for you!
Shane

A perfect lesson, thank you. I'm playing along with my Taylor 114 and your guitar sounds like my guitar's dad. :D
Ha! Thanks for that Khimaros - glad to have you here with us - Happy New Year!
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork thank you for sharing, have a wonderful new year :)
Two ball. Infinity video😂
Thank you!
Thanks Lauren - hope you have fun with it!
Shane
Thank you, it was helpful. I just wish you would play the whole song through and maybe even a play along. The tutorials I enjoy the best are the ones that begin with the whole song played at the start.
There is a separate play along video with an 80% and 100% speed play throughs ;)
Thanks Abelino - glad that it was helpful - I do have some full play along videos out there - hope they help you - Happy New Year!
Shane
Thanks Khimaros - really appreciate you helping out!
Shane
Hello Shane, thanks for another great lesson, if I may, could you teach us I Can't Tell You Why or New Kid in Town both by the Eagles as you probably know?
Thanks Jean - I love the Eagles! Plenty more coming for sure. Cheers!
Shane
Cool. Thanks.
Thanks John - hope you have fun with it!
Shane
Been loving it. Also enjoying your "Landslide" chart. It's the first version of it that I've found that is comfortable to play.
I belive joe walsh does it wth capo 2nd fret...but i play on the 4th as well..i like how it goes from G to Bm to Em..u dont have that too often in songs..and the walkdown comin from D..."would u still be mine..(walk down)ba bum ba bum..and back to D..my fav part lol
Thank you
My pleasure JK - hope you have fun with it!
Shane
If you get on patreon, i will make a regular small contribution. These are the best I’ve seen yet. I’m sure others will too.
Thank you Richard - very kind indeed - I am very glad to hear from you and that you are enjoying the videos!
Shane
Love the lesson, great pacing for this middle-aged beginner. Unfortunately the play-along isn't available to your southern neighbors, so next stop is the CD collection for full speed runs to annoy the wife and dogs. Thank you for what you do!
You can always find a version on UA-cam and reduce the speed to 0.75, might help. Playback settings in the top right corner
Thank you Tails - sorry some videos have been hit with copyright claims and banned in the US and other countries. I agree with the comment below about slowing it down within UA-cam. Also, if you are an Apple user there is a great app called 'Anytune' that can slow down music without changing the pitch. If you are not an Apple user there is one called 'Amazing Slow Downer' for other platforms - Happy New Year!
Shane
Thank you Khimaros - great tip and I appreciate it!
Shane
@Guitar At Work Appreciate it, both of you. GarageBand will import MIDI files also, and that’s a fairly rich field to play in as well. So many toys!
So, would this be an okay place to request a lesson on Richard Thompson's "Walking the Long Miles Home?" 😁 Happy New Year!
Thanks for the lesson, very helpful. Just wish I could get the play along video to work. Just keeps saying it’s unavailable?
Hey Shane, can you please do a video on how to play "Saturday Night" by the Eagles. I really like your videos very helpful thanks.
Thank you Gabriel - great suggestion - I'll put it on the list for sure!
Shane
Hey Shane, I really also do like your song sheets. Very helpful to follow along. Keep it up. :)
Request how about "summer breeze" forgot artist name.
Thank you! What model Taylor is that , whatta beauty
Very glad you enjoyed. I’m playing Taylor 814ce (2019). Cheers! Shane
I'm truly exhausted by 1:30 in
Hi shane can i have the sheet on this one pls.. Am enjoying watching ur videos
Hi Harly,
happy to send you sheets if you email from my website at www.shanesimpson.com - there is a contact button there - no need to fill in all the info - all good. No charge happy to send. I have to figure out how to make the sheets downloadable, am doing it this way until then. I do not collect or otherwise abuse email addresses. Cheers,
Shane
NO CAPO!!!
How can I get the sheet music (chords) for the videos
Hi Jennifer - just head to shanesimpson.com and about halfway down the page there will be a red button that says 'Download Guitar At Work' song sheets. No charge, no hassles and nothing to sign up for. Just go get them.
Cheers!
Shane
This was helpful except the intro walk down the second time is wrong. Here are the chords: G Am7 G/B C, C G/B Am7 G, (this is the corrected part): G/B Am7 G D C - Then G to start the verse. Listen and play along, this is correct. Hope this helps you make it sound more authentic to the original. :)
00:01:09
I can't seem to find the sheet on your website?
HI Kasper - look for a red button about half way down the page that says 'Download Guitar At Work Songsheets' you'll find a couple of folders there to choose from - if any trouble, email me from website and i will send to you directly. Cheers! Shane
@@GuitarAtWork Can't believe I missed that. Thanks!
Glad you found them Kasper - enjoy!
Shane
Its bigger than a 600 looks like a 700

Hi mk - happy to send you a chart if you email me directly from the contact button at www.shanesimpson.com
I have to do it that way until I figure out how to make charts easily downloadable. I do not collect or otherwise abuse email addresses. Cheers, Shane
Is that a Trex 550 er 650 back ther?..im a pilot myself..i have fbl 450 pro...and a 450 se v2 (FB)..i need ta get me a good sim so i can start practicn some 3d

m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1050487778312404&id=1276292338
this was back when i was just gettiin the setup part down..ole wc clown helped me learn setin blade pitch ..and how to assemble the rotor and feathering shaft correctly..god ive spent alot of munny in the hobby lol..crashing is expensive!!
nice , but watch it chopper at three o' clock
i need this dudes coke guy
Great tutorial but i find it hard to do the walk up and sing the words at the same time.Any tips?
Practice. Practice. Practice.
Not meanin this comment disrespectful in nyway..but when ur showin the walk up G A7 at the 3:00 mark..just seems like thats an awful lot of unecessary fingers and movements...i get the same exact sound just goin from a strummin g..hit top E(2x)..pluck the A open..one finger to the A a fret up..and that ooens the door on up and u can jus ease right into ur Cchord..
A good thought my friend....but you miss out on the chords within the walkup!
Shane
I think your way would be more beneficial to a lead player who would play individual notes to accentuate the melody whereas a rhythm player would want to play the chords to flesh out the melody.
@@captchet4850 hmmpphh... Thats kina odd sounding to me.. simply because i cant play hardly a lick of lead.. im strictly a rythym player lol.. but hey.. its whatever works for thaat particular person i guess right?.. lol
@@natertater1978 Yessir, I agree. I say play it the way you want to and just enjoy the music.
@@captchet4850 hell yeah my man!! ..couldnt have been said any better than that!!! I very rarely play anything.. if ever... Note for note the exact way its written.. i just play and let it happen ..lol music is my evrything.. if the world didnt have it.. i swear i dont think my soul could even exsist.. its such a big part of who i am.. its my release.. how i get whatevers im feeling out... I tell ya.. i could pick up my guitar..and without much thought..light into a song that can explain how..or what im feeling..much easier than i could say it with words lol... Music is a great gift we have
It's great but you talk way too quickly, Not being mean but I struggled to follow
It's a pretty decent lesson, but the places that you find need Super attention and intricate explaining... Are personal to you and not necessarily coincide with listeners. So what's happening is your stopping in a particular part of the song and over-explaining.... Effectively losing the flow of the song.... which is how other people describe how you lose them in the lesson. A suggestion would be ... To sing along, or speak the words to the song .. and instead of getting stuck on a tiny section and explaining it... Take less time being stuck and just sing and work through the song as it normally flows. An example is the walk down from the D.
I've watched a few of your videos now, and you go entirely too fast. You zoom from one part of the song to another to another to another--so fast that I eventually lose track of what part of the song you are trying to teach, and it turns into a blur. You seem like you know what you're talking about, but what's the point if you go so fast that folks can't keep up?
Hi James - did you download the sheets? Way easier to follow if you have them.
Cheers,
Shane
Chill out dude
I like the lesson but the part when U teach us how to strum is unnecessary
