    Dude your videos for Going to California are great! It took me one day to get part 1 and 2 down, because of how well you break it down. I sub'd to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your content!

    👍👍❤️❤️🎸Really enjoying this lesson. It’s quite hard for me as I’m not used to fingerpicking and I only have about 3 1/2 years experiences guitar - so just wanted to comment that having the tabs up on the screen makes a huge difference because I can pause the video and look at them for extended periods of time -without those tabs on the screen it would be very difficult so thank you for doing that. Slowly learning this and decided to stick with it because I want to get out of my comfort zone and try something that’s hard for me... and also because the Melody is just so incredibly beautiful

    • @juana1483
      @juana1483 3 роки тому +1

      Take a look at classical guitar right hand technique. And you could try a song like Dust in the Wind, which is beautiful too, but not so complex. Regards.

    For those wondering, like me, where the tabs are for the Dmag chord at the end are, you can see them in the review section of the next video.

    you did an excellent job blending the mandolin and guitar parts together... consider the original recordings sounded so busy with multiple layers of instruments going at once. props for that, and a great video my man... only complaint- why did you have to pick white text to go over top of such a light color hahaha my blind ass is struggling over here lmao

      +swiftlessons Hey, man, that gorgeous article of clothing aside, I've worked my way through all three of the Going to Cali videos over the last week and really do appreciate your efforts. This was my first attempt at proper finger-picking. When I started out, I thought there was no way I'd get it. Every single section took hours to get comfortable with but, having put the time in, I look down at my fingers and marvel at what I'm doing. You're a wonderful teacher and have played a big part in giving me a confidence boost in my playing. Thanks, friend.
      P.S. Who makes that sweater?

  • @fredve3984
    @fredve3984 6 років тому

    Hi. I've been playing guitar (non professionally) for 20+ years. No finger style skills to speak of. I've been working on this song for the last week and progress is very slow and I'm wondering if I might have a learning disability (kinda joking) but this is very hard for me. From your teaching experience, about how long should it take to learn this entire song? Any help much appreciated.

    • @swiftlessons
      @swiftlessons  6 років тому +1

      Honestly this should take a while if you haven’t already learned a few basic Travis picking patterns, and drilled them into muscle memory. I recommend checking out my fingerstyle breakthrough lesson to build up your picking hand chops. Keep up the practice!

      Sorry James, that's how my instructor said it, and it stuck into my own vernacular. I've since fixed that for myself. I hope you were able to find something beneficial from this video.

    • @jamesdilorenzo5005
      @jamesdilorenzo5005 7 років тому

      I've been playing the song for many years and yes it's a nice refresher video and laid out really well for the solo musician. Nicely done! When you said "Seuss Chord" I got a visual of "The Cat In The Hat" that's all.
