    awesome that you're using my videos for learning guitar! nice to read they're appreciated :-)

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    I will go into the "how to write tab" lessons in some time but still have a sh*tload of stuff to do before that. don't know if you use twitter but i'm starting to use it for requests like yours so i have everything in one place.
    What TAB features do you want to learn or are you most interested in?

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    check the video description and at the bottom is my profile link, click it and once landed on my profile on ultimate-guitar(dot)com, go to the contributions tab. You should find it there.

    Great to read the lesson works for you, if you want the full version you should check the link in the description to Mike Rosenberg's performance, It's with singing but you get a very good view of the guitar!

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    Off course, you can find it on ultimate-guitar (dot) com

    he was not just a regular thumb but a remarkable one, he hung in there till the very end... we'll all miss him!

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    yes it is, thank you! the confusing thing for me was arpeggio is used for certain fingerings for playing chord tones and playing a chord as an arpeggio (broken chord)...

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    yeah you are right, normally i would do it that way but i really liked this version of the song. At the end of 6 videos i did say to myself "why did i do this...?"
    Definitely gonna check out that Heart on Fire, and thanks for the advice!

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    yes, depending on the anatomy of your hands and also the neck of your guitar, using your thumb to press the bass strings can be a challenge, for some even impossible

      Ray Awesome you like the lesson! And it is definitely for free :-)

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    yeah that is a tough one, do play nylon or steelstring? Either way you could instead play 3rd position on the D string instead(with your ringfinger), it is an octave higher but students of mine who have trouble with that thumb play it like that also and it sounds nice... hope this helps

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    the song is called acoustic summer, a piece i wrote especially for the intro of my tutorials (acoustic ones anyway). Many people have been asking me about that song and as soon as i have some time i'll turn it into a proper song. right now i'm just too busy working on the new website :-)

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    thanks for helping out! rake and triplet are two different things but i think you know that. Arpeggio has been said and rake could be the word i'm looking for, checking with google now :-)

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    "if at the beginning you could tell us what cord to play" good point! I try to do that sometimes but i gues many times i forget...

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    awesome! hope you ace that assignment!

  • @Yourguitarworkshop

    it is a song i wrote for especially for the intros of my videos, called acoustic summer. I've been trying to record a full version of it for the past 2 months but having a baby changes a lot :-)

  • @electricsashimi
    @electricsashimi 11 років тому

    This is the best tutorial on youtube I could find on this song. The video layout works well and instructions are well paced. Only advise is instead of having all these parts, just show the intro and then for the verse and chorus show us the general finger picking patterns and variations; I doubt Mike plays it exactly the same.
    If you could do Passenger's Heart on Fire that would be awesome. Thanks!

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    I'm not sure if I understand your question, there is no "harmonic" used in this song. Or do you mean chords/harmony? I think you can play the melody without the chords, yes..

  • @stubbo2k10

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    the intro is the same but the rest is different from the studio version where he plays with a band. (or i'm messing up 2 videos on youtube)
    That studio version has the strumming parts and on this version he fingerpicks the whole thing.

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    Playing the notes as a flow is called appeggio. Thanks for the generous sharing. Will be learning this one. Love the song lyrics.

    • @Yourguitarworkshop
      @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

      Thanks Tony! In case you're interested, I've also done Holes and Feather on the Clyde by Passenger(just check my website or channel). I know ***** also did a version of Let her go and has done another song of Passenger too. (can't remember which one sorry)...
      Enjoy the tutorial!

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    yes there are some alternatives. But that F chord is hard to play. What you could do is just don't play the 6th string and instead of that play the 4th which is also an F but one octave higher. You don't get a deep bass sound that way but for most of my students that can't play that chord (yet) this works just fine.

  • @redgringo34

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    Actually i think you have a very creative solution, as long as you adjust all bassnotes on E-string it will work just fine! :-)

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    I understand what you are saying, it is tough to find a format that will suit everyone. The entire tutorial is 6 videos, repeating steps means either more or longer videos. You can always pause and go back a bit to see again. But, I will think about what you said and see if I can add it...
    Don't know what you mean with "List me man" :-)

  • @WilliamTallman
    @WilliamTallman 10 років тому +2

    As you asked, @ 7:03 the 3 note G chord "quickly played.." is a "forward roll" arpeggio. A "reverse roll" is as you would guess starts with the ring finger. This comes from a banjo technique.

    • @Yourguitarworkshop
      @Yourguitarworkshop  10 років тому

      William Tallman Thanks! I've seen those terms somewhere else too, never heard about them before.

    it is tough to play with the thumb when you are not used to it.
    what do you mean with "cant get the strings to sound normal" what are you hearing? perhaps we can figure this out...

  • @themajor333

    i put the tab on ultimate-guitar check the description for my UG profile. The TAB got a low rating probably because people were expecting the studio version. i'm pretty sure the tab is 99.9% correct...

  • @Lillen1

  • @Yourguitarworkshop

    it is called acoustic summer, a song i wrote specifically for the intros of my acoustic tutorials. I think this month i'll be recording the full version of it. (but i've been saying that for a half year now :-)
    more and more people ask me about that intro so i would be stupid not to do it :-)

  • @Yourguitarworkshop
    @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому

    someone mentioned it is a "rake" but the author is apparently "removed" don't know why... anyway, rake is a possibility although i always thought that technique was linked to playing with a flatpick.

    Great tutoral my friend. I play classical guitar and you totally got me when you said you had to use your thumb to play the 6th string hahahaha, impossible in classical guitar.
    Also I would not recommend using the same finger to pluck the same string twice, it really inhibits freedom and fluidity.
    Anyhow, great stuff. it sounds amazing.

    • @Yourguitarworkshop

    • @droxid
      @droxid 11 років тому +1

      there's absolutely no way to play the 6th string with the thumb on my guitar... especially with a capo on the 7th fret....I have a yamaha classical guitar and the neck has a hump at around the height of the 12th fret which gives my hand no space for the for this kind of hold... Is there any alternative way to play this?

      sorry if i'm so annoying but nobody want's to help me with the song
      duerme conmigo thank you.
      and keep doing this amazing job

    • @Yourguitarworkshop
      @Yourguitarworkshop  10 років тому

      no need to say sorry :-)
      I've listened to it and it is quite easy. The verse has the chord sequence: Em (1x) C (1x) G (2x), then Em (1x) C(1x) D(2x)
      The Chorus (or bridge?), slow part in the middle: riff (open a string, then 2nd position Astring), then chords: C (1x) and D(1x) then riff again and repeat C and D chord, etc...
      I'm doing this without a guitar just by ear so hopefully I didn't make a mistake.
      this is the song I used: Jarabe De Palo - Duerme Conmigo

  • @vinnylauz6835
    @vinnylauz6835 11 років тому +2

    Question : what do you recommend for an amateur player? Getting familiar with the song without the capo first, then putting it, on or having it on from the start? (I'm asking because with the capo on the 7th fret i feel like my fingers are huge!)

    • @Yourguitarworkshop
      @Yourguitarworkshop  11 років тому +2

      It depends. I think I would always practice in original position first, it's easier for playing along with the song (and the tutorial). Then If I would wanna sing along myself and would prefer to have the capo in a lower position (because I have a lower voice), then I would probably start practising doing the guitar parts and my vocals once I knew how to play the song.
      I understand that your fingers feel huge, it takes a lot of getting used to but at the same time, it's these things that make us better guitarists :-)

  • @CalevT
    @CalevT 10 років тому

    I have to say that attempting to learn the intro to this song from your video has been a humbling experience. I have been playing guitar for two years and i mostly play lead electric guitar with a llitle bit of rhythm guitar and a bit of acoustic style music. I have never really ventured into fingerpicking. The only piece of fingerpicking i have ever learnt is the verse of Metallica's Fade to Black which by far alot simpler than this intro for both the right hand and left. I was fine with the opening pickup bar, but my downfall was immediate. Right when you moved on to the Fmaj7 Fsus2 G5 sequence i found myself to be uncoordinated and dysfunctional. I want to say thank you because you have taught me something valuable, that i am not as competent of a guitar player as i thought and i must work. While trying to play the intro, I felt like a beginner, but that only leaves me more determined to work hard and get it right! Thank you for helpingthe public with your guitar videos and have a great night! :)

    • @CalevT
      @CalevT 10 років тому

      BTW the english term for fingerpicking the strings very quickly one after another is a "roll". Do note this name only applies when you are ascending or descending the strings and not when you are jumping around quickly.

    • @CalevT
      @CalevT 10 років тому

      Calev T. I saw someone else commented that the technical term is arpeggio. It is possible that there are two terms for this but i believe he is incorrect.

    • @Yourguitarworkshop
      @Yourguitarworkshop  10 років тому

      This reply is about your first post, about your humbling experience... The guitar is a very versatile instrument. I play many different styles and each has its difficulties. Take spanish romance, a simple song for classical guitar and quickly you'll think "i've mastered it"....until you try to record it. The song is so fragile that any little mistake or ill timed note is a huge disturbance.
      Some find it hard to play a solo, others have trouble with fingerpicking, etc. What you've discovered is that you're quite good at playing electric guitar in a certain genre and it is good that you've realized that there is much more out there. Check different styles like flamenco(paco de lucia), jazz(pat metheny), blues (michael landau), classical (julian bream, segovia), or players like tommy emmanuel, andy timmons(electric), robben ford(electric), andy mckee, vicky genfan, al di meola, etc etc. There's worlds to discover on the guitar and that's what i love about it!

      And... I haven't forgotten about your video tutorial, it's been a crazy month but it is on top of my to do list!
