    Amazing lessons! I self thought Hotel California and Heart of Gold just by following your videos. This is another awesome one. Can you also create a lesson for Losing my Religion from REM?

    Excellent🎉I'm busy learning this intro. It was very helpful,wow! Doesn't he do a muted strum though? I'm sure I watched another lesson showing the intermittent muting.

    Appreciate your admission to struggling with this and the amount of effort you had to put into learning this song. Only request would be to not have added the finger style option to the lesson. IMHO those are two totally different techniques and it only Added to the length of the lesson. Still a thumbs up 👍. Thanks for your work and honesty!

    In His live version, he strums that opening with a pick and hammers on the index finger. Are you just showing fingers style here for a reason ?

  • @johngale6186
    @johngale6186 4 роки тому +1

    How can you possibly turn a 20 second lesson into 21 minutes of ridiculous overexplanation. No wonder you say you are not a good guitarist, just confusing.

      Can show us the 20 second method?

    • @dereklong801
      @dereklong801 4 роки тому

      @@geraldwest3428 It's a standard open D chord with some hammer-ons and an F/D. Not worth 20 minutes.

    • @SaintKimbo

      It seems to too concerned with perfect strum timing, which just says to me that if can't strum 4/4, and it's derivatives, naturally without thinking about it , you need to take basic drum lessons, or practice strumming with a metronome before you try and play actual songs, otherwise you'll wind up doing this, spending 20 minutes trying to learn the strum pattern of phrases of songs, and that'll just end up ruining your guitar experience.
