A great lesson. If it's not an identical copy of Thompson's superb playing, it's as near as dammit! As you note, Thompson goes off on improvs throughout the song and I've never heard him do the same thing twice, recorded or on stage. You've cleared up where I've been going wrong on this tune. Thank you for posting, and I'll be looking for more instruction from you.
As I was making a list of songs I already play, and what’s I need to brush up or possibly learn, I thought of this one. So awesome that you posted this. Really helps. Always loved the guitar work. You do real nice here too. Thanks!!!
Thanks to you both, MALCOM AND JIMMY for helping to dimystify the impossible and 'perhaps' make them possible with a lot of practice of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr Galloway, I'd just like to say a big thank you for the lesson and another thank you for the presentation. That was a masterclass of how to do it for UA-cam, you should be used as a reference. You're an excellent picker too!!! Cool fucking accent too. Cheers!
i hope Jimmy is a teacher in real life, because Kids need teachers like Jimmy, and what a fine musician My Galloway is! Tres Bien Jimmy. Stan (near the beautiful Galloway in W Scotland of all places)
Jimmy, that is awesome! I play a few of RTs other songs (see my channel) but this has always eluded me and been one of the ones I long to play. I think I can now get there with your help. Thanks so much!! Malcolm
Great post, Jimmy. Could you explain the picking pattern? Hope you will post the full performance of Vincent sometime soon. Looking forward to that. Thanks!
@laquil1 Thank you for watching. I will be performing on the Cayamo cruise in February and if I'm lucky I may have a chance to sit with him for a quick second. No better place to learn than from the Master himself you know... Most of those tracks on that record are pretty "dark", I'm in a "light" phase right now. All the best.
Thanks for the pattern! Yes, it would be great to see that head of the intro. Could you also detail the additional chords you play during the break, and the ones where you go up the neck? Thanks again for the help. I love this tune and you're the only instructor on youtube who has the goods on it.
@LogjamTheComic: The pattern is alternating thumb on string 5 and 4 with middle finger on 2nd string and 1st finger and middle finger on the 1st string. I will repost a close up of the "head" for the intro lick a little slower. Thanks for the question and the viewing
Great job! The tuning is exactly what Lindsey Buckingham uses on "Never Going Back" which took me a long while to get the bouncing bass right with the medley, but I can play at 100 mph now (like you do with this tune). My question is, I'm trying to learn this one (with some trouble with the syncing bass/medley), so any exercises or tips- I mean I thought this was going to be a breeze since I have the bass/medley thing down for Buckingham song, why does it not translate so easy?
5:18 to 5:25 This comment is mostly for my own benefit, but also for anyone else who needs to hear the slowed-down version of the lick multiple times to get it right.
I ordered a Schubb partial brass capo...hearing the Kyser capos tend not to hold the guitar strings in tune...and I have one full and two partial Kyser capos. So, this ole dog is still learning. What type of full capo are you using here, Jimmy???
Jimmy, can you explain what the number chords are? I don't understand at all the numbers your throwing out to explain fingering positions. What is a 4, 5 and 2 chord?
Aaron D , I am referring to the scale degrees. This is a piece in Bb Major. The scale is Bb C D Eb F G A Bb. In a Major key, the Bb scale has Major chords in the I, IV and V, (Bb Eb and F). I assign them numbers instead of names to reflect their scale degrees. The 2 chord would be minor in a Major progression, so it is c minor ( c eb g). The Nashville number system uses this technique of referring to chords as numbers as well, so you may find more information there. Hope this helps, and thank you for watching!
I always thought of this as a very English song so it warms my heart to see so many American brothers enjoying it
Cheers!
Excellent version of the tune! And, excellent instruction! Thanks for posting!

Alrite Mr Galloway thanks for the lesson any pointers for working something out if you dont want to use a capo?
Thank you for watching! I hope it helped.
