    First teacher that actually shows a slow break down of this song. With perfect close ups and instructions of the picking. For a beginner this is the only video on you tube that I could learn off.

      I agree he is more detail oriented and slowed down which is helpful but he kinda over explained the dropping down to the9 fret stuff getting on my nerves a wee bit

    I learnt a lot from Andy , step by step teaching is very effective and I m able to play this song now but singing together with the finger picking is still not easy . Thank you Andy .

    Thanks for the lesson. That tip about using your thumb for the E.A.D strings and your first second and third fingers for the GBE respectively really made an instant difference in my ability to play this correctly like the recording! I wish I learned this way back.

    • @chewwahooi5810
      @chewwahooi5810 4 роки тому +1

      Putting your thumb and 1st finger together like as if u r holding a needle and strum down and up, it’s easier and will have fuller tone . I tried n it works.

      @@andycrowley Andy. Thanks for the great video however I must be the first one to point this out. The way you play this song at the beginning is actually different to the one you teach. You have a string slap/picking style to your right hand which is what I want to learn. Can you teach us how to slap the strings as I am having trouble with this. Thanks

    Andy I'm really sorry but your going too fast for me. I'm trying to do the first two notes but by the time I see where your fingers are you've moved on I need to slowly pluck the 3 strings with the first note then 2nd can you do a really slow video for a beginner. My fingers are hurting 😫
