I know this is a year old but, I really appreciate the reality of learning a sing/new chords the UA-cam warps the reality of how hard it can be to learn new stuff. It doesn’t happen just because you watch it on a 20min video. It takes practice and muscle memory. Thanks for breaking it down and being respectful to reality to stopping and practicing different parts. Thanks so much for your videos
George Harrison visited Almora, connected with the Himalayas too. I am from the same region of Kumaon. Been hearing this since I was a kid. You just gave me a beautiful morning. Thanks a lot.
Such a heartfelt , beautiful Song… George Harrison was such a great Songwriter/ Guitarist! Shane, a whole lot of Guitar Teachers here on the internet, but you are right at the top when it comes to teaching Songs! And after all, isn’t that a huge reason why we play guitar? THANK YOU !
Not only are you teaching us on here but it comes through the phone or computer that you really love what you're doing and the music as well as your energy. You are definitely one of my best subscriptions
Shane! I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, but I just realized what a great teacher you actually are! Your chord chanes are smooth, and fluid and your strumming seems effortless. Yet you constantly remind us to “stop the tape” and practice because that’s what it takes to achieve that. Thanks for sharing your expertise, but thanks especially for the constant encouragement!
A real shame George was always overshadowed by Paul and John, just watched the new let it be doc and was obvious how hard it was for George to express himself. "Something" was our wedding song. So glad your channel is taking off, you deserve it. You have a way of simplifying even complex songs so people can play above their abilities. That's a true gift. Thanks
George could have played. More. But during that time he was coked up. U could see if had something they would have let him play but he was zonked out. Couldn’t talk. Uncomfortable. Withdrawn. Paranoid. So they just played with out him. Paul. Was prepared. Had stuff ready. I like George’s music way more than Beatles. But when he coked out he felt they didn’t want to hear it but. In reality. They would have let do whatever he wanted. He he just played . George’s music has great feel great vibe .more musical. Paul s to me. Is Poppy . I wish George. Wasn’t. Wasted. And played more
Hi Shane! I can’t remember last time I had so much fun! Love this Song! George Harrison was such a Beautiful Spirit, as his music reflects that! I am so happy to learn & play this along with You! So much Fun!!!💕😊
Thank you, Shane for this lesson. After I get Mr. Bojangles down I’ll be doing My Sweet Lord. I could do the first half and you have made the second easier to understand. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Just found your videos, have been learning for about a year now and hands down the best teacher. Learnt more tips for technique in the last three vids than last 3 months !!! Thanks boss
What a workout this song is! The added string tension with the capo challenges my left hand muscles... definitely a great job teaching us mere mortals 😆
Hi Shane. Just dropping in to thank you for your tutorials. They're all absolutely fantastic, and how you break the song down and guide us through with those drops of encouragement and reassurance is genius. Happy New Year to you. Mike, UK.
It is a fantastic song. Many thanks Shane. I moves recently and haven't seen any of your lessons. Hopefully I'll get back online soon. Your a awesome instructor. My personal favorite. Many thanks from western North Carolina my friend. THANKS.
Just such a great job as a teacher. You simplify the process and speak the students language. We’re all lucky to be able to benefit from and enjoy your blessed abilities . Thank you Shane, Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you David - it really means a lot to get feedback such as yours. Makes my day! My best to you and yours this Christmas and always glad to hear from you. Cheers, Shane
Thank you Greg - very much appreciated. I have fun making these videos and it's really cool to hear from people who are enjoying them. Thanks for taking the time to comment and I hope you are having a ton of fun with your guitar. Cheers! Shane
Been very pleased with subscribing to you and have a handfull of vids in my save to file. I love your playlist brother. I bet you would be a lot of fun to hang with on a saturday night
Shane, you are SO much fun and I love you don't constantly promote and promote. It's not a complaint against other guitarists online because this is such a competitive market to make a dollar and put food on the table, but it's refreshing. I'm battling the CAGED chords. That D-barre chord is tough. I am not giving up. G barre is not far behind.
Dude, love it, down to earth and cooky, but you are on spot. I'm way past some of the things you show, but love watching. I will recommend you to a lot of the friends I know who wants to learn. Have a great one, and keep up the good work. I'll stay tuned. C.J.
Thank you Luke - I appreciate the encouragement for sure. It's really fun doing this and it's great to know people like you are out there. Best to you! Shane
Hi Shane, Love the song choice, had this on a 45 back about 50 years ago and have always loved it. It’s going to be a workout but looking forward to working on it. Thanks again for all your work on these. Merry Christmas to you and yours and here’s to a great New Year my friend😀
Subbed a few day ago, and imho you are a great low level teacher for those who are beginners and couch players. I am a bass and guitar player, know most bar chords, but blown away how you got me hooked on learning new songs quickly. 👍👏
Thank you for that KS - my very best to you. This is an important song for any guitar player. Let's nail down these barre chords once and for all. Cheers! Shane
Hi Shane….yet another classic ,brilliantly taught as always. I just love mastering these new chords….Eb DIM 7 and such like would have scared me off in the past but not now , been reading up on the theory of this scary chords and once you understand how they are made up and why and where they are used they cease to become a problem. Thanks again Shawn and a happy Christmas to you and your family from the UK.
A big thank you for that. It is really great to know what goes into a chord - I highly recommend. Best to you and glad to have you here with us. Cheers, Shane
E and f diminished are completely new to me f diminished to the c sharp7 comes fast. Anyway thanks, have you listened to I'm One ? Best version is from the concert deep zone. You can teach the proper finger picking pattern as I find your style is the easiest to understand as you put the emphasis where it is needed. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎸
Tu ritmo es espectacular. La canción es tan simple y tan hermosa. A practicar! Excelente tutorial. Te entiendo a medias pero la guitarra habla sola ✌🇦🇷🎸
Hi Shane, Just wanted to say a couple of things. 1. You are the best at teaching that I am fixed to learning from. I finally purchased a 814CE because your guitar always sounds the best on each video. In some videos, you use a beatbuddy. It be great if you could add the info under show more as to the Genre, Song, Tempo so we could follow more and add that to our home lessons. Keep up the great teachings.
A big thank you and congrats on your amazing purchase! You cannot ever regret an 814CE....I have no affiliation with Taylor except for the fact that I've played nothing but Taylors for about 25 years now. Let's keep the Beatbuddy theme alive - I will add to description and I always mention settings in the video itself. Cheers! Shane
Terrific lesson Shane! Georges lead guitar playing always elevated the Beatles to the next level of greatness in my opinion. Some of their best songs were written by him. How about a lesson on "Here Comes The Sun" or "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"? Anyway, Happy Holidays to you and your family! Be well and stay safe! 👍👍🎄🎄😉😉
Thank you Steve - always good to hear from you. George was genius for sure. I've actually done videos on both the songs you mentioned and I'm really glad you've reminded people - the Beatles are fabulous. Best to you man - Shane
@@GuitarAtWork I'm 32, my parents played the Beatles my entire childhood. Anywhere we went, and always at home. In fact, it's still the only music my dad listens to haha. I still know every Beatles song by heart.
Ha! Thank you Guy - that's hilarious. I always do videos in the morning after I've had coffee....but believe it or not, I cut my caffeine consumption in half just a few weeks ago....crazy! Shane
When I want to see if I can learn how to play a song, I search through your channel first, to see if you have a lesson on it... I heard this song earlier today and I thought, 'hmmm... That acoustic guitar part doesn't sound *that* complicated. I wonder if I can learn it. Let's see if Shane has a lesson for it." Ok, so it's definitely a lot more complicated than it first sounded... Obviously the Em to A and D to Bm are not too bad, once you get the Bm down... But after the key change, going from F#m to B Maj, and E to C#m -- ouch. That'll take some work. And all that diminished stuff during the verse-to-chorus transitions... Eeek. More stuff to work on... Anyway -- you made your usual great lesson video here. I'll add it to my list of stuff I want to learn. Thanks!
So glad I stumbled upon your channel. I can't believe I've never come across any of your videos before, they are the best that's on youtube! Appreciate all the content you have to offer. Quick question - which Taylor model are you using? One of the 800 series? Sounds great!
Congrats on 100k subscribers Mr.Shane, love this channel great lesson!! If you're looking for another song to work out Santa monica by theory of a Deadman they have an acoustic version I love but just can't seem to get the sound it would be cool to see a video on that one! Happy holidays to ya keep on playing!
Hey Slush - thanks for that - very much! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I LOVE the song you mentioned.....I have not heard the acoustic version but I wrote out the original version many years ago. If you email me directly from my website:guitaratwork.ca I'll send you the sheets I did for it. Cheers! Shane
Thank you for this lesson. As a beginner, appreciated how you took the time to explain the b minor chord. However, it would also be helpful if you could say where your fingers go, especially for chords like the Eflat diminish 7. Thank you again.
Thanks Mike - I agree with you - but....then a lot of people would complain that I'm going too slowly. It's hard to find the happy medium. In any case, I'm glad to have you here with us. Cheers, Shane
Thanks for that - glad to have you here. I’m using the full version Beatbuddy. I’ve had it for years. The other models are very good too. Cheers, Shane
Hi Shane, been watching your videos for a while, love your dedication, was wondering why you got The Beat Buddy, since you have a perfect built-in in your left leg, beating in unison with the Beat Buddy, just teasing, and also I was wonderring what model your guitar is, it sounds beautiful, thanks for sharing your knowledge, deeply appreciated, Cheers from Montreal
Hello Jelau - A giant thank you for that - hilarious! You are the first one to mention my frisky left leg....it has been my metronome my entire life. I am playing a Taylor 814CE...this one is a 2016 model. It's gorgeous....I love it. I have 3 814s now...a 1998 (my fave) a 2016, and a 2019 which I just bought from a friend a few weeks ago. Really super. Best to you, Shane
@@GuitarAtWork Shane , you are a great help and teacher, I started to play when I was 17, learned the basics chords, and then ,left it for 40 years, then went to buy a Seagull guitar, and then attacked the barre chords, and I made good progress, but it,s a never ending learning process, and through your videos, I learn a good deal on chords names, Anyway, am happy that I found you, as a fellow canadian teacher, have a good Holiday Seasons, Cheers to you. John PS : STAY SAFE
Stupid newbie question coming up: is it usual not to change the name of the chord if you're using a capo? So when you're saying Eminor at the beginning, does the capo not make it Fsharp minor? Or is it just easier than remembering what all the chord shapes change to when you move them up?
I love that question Richie - thank you. It is traditional amongst guitarists to call the chord whatever it might be WITHOUT the capo. When singers or piano players or bass players are around we should call the chords what they really are. That’s called ‘Concert Pitch’. Cheers, Shane
@@GuitarAtWork Wow, that was a quick reply! I keep meaning to get a capo but keep forgetting, but I love this song so I thought I might get a little barre chord practice and just used a barre instead of the capo. Which was great for the first two or three chords, then I started to have a meltdown! Lol. Running before I can walk! Very enjoyable and accessible tutorial, thank you!
I'm a finger picker starting to learn to strum and I think that the strumming sequence you teach here is different than most I see. Do you simplify sometimes or are there multiple correct ways to do most songs. Most patterns I see are E↓↓↓↑↑↓A↑↑↓↓↑↓↑E....repeat. You can tell I need a LOT of help strumming.
Thanks for that. Go with the one I mention on the video and on the song sheets. Infinite possibilities as to variation etc. Hope it's going well for you. Cheers, Shane

Thank you for this lesson. As a beginner, appreciated how you took the time to explain the b minor chord. However, it would also be helpful if you could say where your fingers go, especially for chords like the Eflat diminish 7. Thank you again.
Thanks Mike - I agree with you - but....then a lot of people would complain that I'm going too slowly. It's hard to find the happy medium. In any case, I'm glad to have you here with us. Cheers,
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork I understand - thank you again!
What kind of strings are on that 814ce? Great sound.
Thank you Chris - I use Elixir HD Light. It's a hybrid set (light/med) designed for the Taylor 814CE is my understanding. Cheers,
Shane
Just came across your channel and love your videos. The Beat Buddy sounds great.......what model do you use?
Thanks for that - glad to have you here. I’m using the full version Beatbuddy. I’ve had it for years. The other models are very good too. Cheers, Shane
Great song. How about a lesson on "Whole of the Moon" by the Waterboys?
Great suggestion CJ and always happy to hear from you. Shane
Hi Shane, been watching your videos for a while, love your dedication, was wondering why you got The Beat Buddy, since you have a perfect built-in in your left leg, beating in unison with the Beat Buddy, just teasing, and also I was wonderring what model your guitar is, it sounds beautiful, thanks for sharing your knowledge, deeply appreciated, Cheers from Montreal
Hello Jelau - A giant thank you for that - hilarious! You are the first one to mention my frisky left leg....it has been my metronome my entire life. I am playing a Taylor 814CE...this one is a 2016 model. It's gorgeous....I love it. I have 3 814s now...a 1998 (my fave) a 2016, and a 2019 which I just bought from a friend a few weeks ago. Really super.
Best to you,
Shane
Montreal? So close.....right down the highway - I'm in Ottawa.
@@GuitarAtWork Shane , you are a great help and teacher, I started to play when I was 17, learned the basics chords, and then ,left it for 40 years, then went to buy a Seagull guitar, and then attacked the barre chords, and I made good progress, but it,s a never ending learning process, and through your videos, I learn a good deal on chords names, Anyway, am happy that I found you, as a fellow canadian teacher, have a good Holiday Seasons, Cheers to you. John PS : STAY SAFE
Hi Shane wondering if in the future you could give us an overview of your setup with amp and beatbuddy regards Ron
That's a great idea Ron - I'll put together a quick rundown. Best to you, Shane
Lovely song, well taught as normal, I have no left index finger, is there an alternate B minor I get away with pls
I would like to ask if you can have a lesson for the song " You Complete Me " by Sherri T.Hall thank you?
Nice!
Thanks Adam - hope you have fun with this one. Glad to have you here with us. Cheers,
Shane
Great lesson. Congrats on your success. Now that you taught My Sweet Lord, how Aboot :) Apple Scruffs?
Thank you Larry - I appreciate that. Great suggestion. Cheers!
Shane
Have you considered switching to decaf?
Believe it or not...I went to half caff......Cheers, Shane
Great lesson Shane. Thank you.
What Taylor guitar model are you playing?
Thank you Jay - It's a Taylor 814CE - this one is a 2016. Lovely instrument. Glad to have you with us here - Shane
Stupid newbie question coming up: is it usual not to change the name of the chord if you're using a capo? So when you're saying Eminor at the beginning, does the capo not make it Fsharp minor? Or is it just easier than remembering what all the chord shapes change to when you move them up?
I love that question Richie - thank you. It is traditional amongst guitarists to call the chord whatever it might be WITHOUT the capo. When singers or piano players or bass players are around we should call the chords what they really are. That’s called ‘Concert Pitch’. Cheers, Shane
@@GuitarAtWork Wow, that was a quick reply! I keep meaning to get a capo but keep forgetting, but I love this song so I thought I might get a little barre chord practice and just used a barre instead of the capo. Which was great for the first two or three chords, then I started to have a meltdown! Lol. Running before I can walk! Very enjoyable and accessible tutorial, thank you!
@@richietaylor9870 I getcha. It’s an admirable feat to do everything without a capo but sometimes….actually quite often..capo is best.
I'm a finger picker starting to learn to strum and I think that the strumming sequence you teach here is different than most I see. Do you simplify sometimes or are there multiple correct ways to do most songs. Most patterns I see are E↓↓↓↑↑↓A↑↑↓↓↑↓↑E....repeat. You can tell I need a LOT of help strumming.
Thanks for that. Go with the one I mention on the video and on the song sheets. Infinite possibilities as to variation etc. Hope it's going well for you. Cheers, Shane
Great song, what do think about there's a place. Dan fogelberg
