- At the risk of incriminating myself and proving how easy my songs are to play - here’s video one of my song tutorials. By popular demand: Black Leaf.
More to comeeeeeee
There's a dog running around, a cooker alarm going off, someone creeping up the stairs in the background and John Paul White teaching me how to play an amazing song!! Thank you for the insight John Paul!!! All the best, John from the UK
WE ASKED FOR IT AND HE GAVE IT
You are my favorite artist for so many reasons. This is one of them...willingness to share & champion others, humility, vulnerability. And then all that comes through in the way you deliver songs. Thank you. Keep being you.
Please do The Once and Future Queen! Thank you for breaking down Black Leaf.
Making it a family affair! I love it! Thank you for your dedication to your fans and this community that loves and respects you. I have always said it, your craftsmanship is more than your voice, you are a killer guitarist. BTW my condolences to you on the loss of a great idol.
I don't think I've ever seen a musician teach a song of their own like this. It's nice
Looks like I got my work cut out for me. Thanks! We (my wife) have similar guitar to your Martin. 1954 00-18 also with the LR Baggs PU. We talked about it in the bathroom after your show.
I think this was great! Very direct & to the point. Not as long winded as so many other tutorials online. Thank you! I've got some work to do now!
Ok, OUCH! I practiced this a bit too long but I'm going to keep trying. It's THRILLING to make JPW music at home! Thank you, John Paul (and Jr for filming)!!!!
That's terrific man. I'm a music teacher and this distance learning thing is a challenge. Taking some time out to learn a favorite song (from the originator!) is great. I think you did a fine job for the first time, especially with only one camera. If anybody misses anything they can just go back and watch again. I always have a hard time with picking patterns so its great that you focused on that. Hope you and yours are doing well. Keep it up!
I love this! I was about 90% correct in my version of it. Thank you for taking the time to show us all the badass riffs you came up with. You should do something from “The long goodbye,” I think it’d be fun. It’d be a challenge I think. I’m sure you remember how to play them but like you said it’d make you go back and remember why you wrote them in the first place. Anyways hope you and your family stay safe. Thank you Sensei!
Hey man. My girl & I saw you in Tallahassee, Fl. the last time you played here. I'm a songwriter too and I love what you do. Fan for a while. I just can't even listen to music the same way I did before I got a guitar. So when the music gives me goosebumps, I'm a believer. So thanks so much for showing these songs too. I play several of your songs & a couple of covers you do. It's a great way to hide from monotony.
Your guitar playing is amazing John Paul...You are a legend!
BTW, love JPW, Jr. is working the camera! Great job!
Shut the front door! 😁 I couldn’t be happier you are doing a tutorial!!! 🥰
Thanks JohnPaul; When this social distancing is no more come back to Spokane, WA; we loved the encore The Once and Future Queen (which would make a good next 'for Dummies'). Looking forward to your next Album and gig too!
love it John Paul, I will have to watch more than once to get it, thank you for sharing, I feel Honored with a Great Musician👍🎸🎶
Thank you John Paul. That was an excellent lesson! Thank you for sharing your gifts. I am so happy and grateful there will be more of these.
I AM SO GLAD TO FIND THESE!! Keep on making them!! PLEASE!!
OUT-STANDING!!!! One of my favorite tunes/songs of all time! You are one down to earth kool cat JPW!!! Thanks for the lesson!
Perfect instruction level. Had to stretch a bit to keep up with you. That’s just what I want. Thank you!
Pretty cool to get a tutorial from the actual songwriter/performer! Thank you for this beautiful song and lesson!
This was great!! Since it’s a video, we have the ability to go back to catch something we missed, so I think the speed was good. Definitely keep showing us both hands up close as you did in this video: That was really helpful! Thanks for doing this!!
Thank you thank you thank you, John Paul! Would love to see “Hate the Way You Love Me”, “The Good Ole Days”, “I Wish I Could Write You A Song” and/or any number of your songs (solo or from your time with The Civil Wars)!
Could you please make a tutorial for No one will ever love you? Just saw you a few weeks ago in Boston and it was my favorite song!
Damn good LP !!
Thanks a bunch John Paul! Off I go to practice. Stay safe
Brilliant JP that's so inspiring for those of us struggling with these licks.
Would love to see one showing how you write songs
Thanks for your generosity in sharing this, your creation!
Thanks for sharing the little secrets, looking forward to more! Nice camera work, too.
Thank You JPW, & JP... So nice of you to show us each chord & how you pick.
Truly enjoyed it !! Can't wait to give it a go..., when I get back home 👏🤘!!! I see your ELO shirt !! Did you get a chance to see them when they came South last year ?! Incredible show... I'm happy Jeff sounded as good as he did - more than 40 yrs ago... (last time he was in Atlanta, anyway...) 👏👏👏👏👏Thank you for #JPWforDummies 😄 🎶 !!!
So ONE person gave this a thumbs down.. seriously 🤦🏻♀️ 🙄 Thanks for doing this JPW!
Oh wow thank you! Love this album! So nice of you to do this and sounds like your son is filming. What great father son time. I thought I'd never even try to figure out any of your songs but you make it look doable if I get my calluses back and practice a lot. Or maybe the other way around. Stay safe y'all. Greetings from Arkansas.
Awesome. Thanks, you did it perfectly! Beautiful song. 👍
Excellent! Thank you JPW!
You’re most who I’d like to emulate on guitar. ❤️❤️❤️
I've seen you perform this live a few times. Your finger picking skills are incredible. Your melodies are so intricate it's almost impossible to believe you can make a "for dummies" series about them. You're an incredible musician. Thank you for this contribution to the music world. I could say that about all your stuff really, but you have to start somewhere!
Wonderful beautiful way you put things together ❤️
Thank you so much, John. You’re so sweet to do this for us right now.👏🏻💖👍🏻
I think it's amazing! A little more close in the chords of the bridge would help but nothing that compromises the lesson though. I loved to know how you work to your songs to be interesting with only you in the stage. Mission accomplished btw. 😊
yes please, and thank you!!!!! Ive been racking my brain trying to figure out "Once and Future Queen" please make a video on that :)
This is awesome. Always loved this song.
That was awesome! I figured this one out about a year ago so I’m glad I didn’t screw anything up lol! Thank you John Paul! Can’t wait for the next one. By the way, would it be ok if I made some cover videos of your songs?
This is great! I have wanted to play some of your songs for quite awhile. Good instruction and the different camera angles help! Would love instruction on how to play the song "What's So."
Huge fan!!! Love this....TY JPW:)
This is awesome! Thanks fot the time and dedication to do this... I love all your music, btw.
Once and future queen next!
Thankyou sir, just what I needed, massive fan of your music, much love #thecognactwins
Beautiful song, perfectly explained. Look forward to more lessons for dummies... like me.
Thank you so much for this! This is truly a present... and in the middle of some really dark times too
Thank you JPW!! 💕💕💕
Greetings from Italy!! Your video and your songs is great! I have been trying to play your songs for years, I hope to hear the tutorial of The Once and Future Queen, one of my favorites!
I hope this quarantine situation will end soon, best wishes and good health!
Omg ur an amazing guitarist!
I always wondered how you played that. I will now go and learn it. Thanks JPW. Great tutorial.
You played Black Leaf for me when you played at The Foundry in Athens, GA. Thank you so much.
Nah, I think you've got the speed just about right, it's not necessarily going to be for beginning players who don't already have an intuitive feel for fingerstyle though.. I've played all my life and learned it just after you released it.. it already made sense to my ear.. It's a beautiful combination of partials and open notes..
This is so awesome. Thank you for sharing your music with us. We saw you in Key West last year and the Beulah CD is still on repeat in the car. Now it will be on repeat in the house with extra guitar accompaniment.
Hey JP put a PayPal link up. Anything helps right now right? I don't play guitar but you should at least be letting people donate something if you are showing them how to play your songs. Just sayin'. 😘😎 Of course they can never sing like you. Nevah gonna happen. ❤️ Loveyouman. Can't wait till you can get on the road again! 🥰
Great idea Karen and I see some ppl asking $4.99 a month to be members of their UA-cam channel. Heck I could do that.
Thanks for this John Paul. It gives me an excuse to tune up from C Standard. I hope that "The Good Old Days" is next. I'm looking forward to seeing you at ASF again in Montgomery.
This is amazing!! Thanks JPW. Let's play now! (Sorry for my english)
Hell yeah, JP! Many thanks!
So cool man! I always wanted to learn your exact style, I never used a capo before and I’m not good with finger picking but this helps me get more into the instrument 🖤🔫
Thanks so much for this John Paul! It’s such a pretty and sad tune. How about James?
This was great! I love this song, and I really appreciate the insights you provide about why you did things the way you did. I would love to hear more of that.
Your hair looks great
Hey JP I'm from green hill. Rogers 95.
What if you played the song in C# (aka D flat) in an open low chord if you tuned only 1/2 step down and dropped the 6th string to open C#? All natural feeling pentatonic and minor scales would be in normal positions. Pops on open notes become easy, too.
Thanks for showing us your guitar lessons. Harmony vocal lessons would be great too!
Take care!
thank you
love this!
great job thanks
Thank you!
THANK YOU!
The chord you said you didn’t know, with your pinky down, is (relative to the capo) a C#sus4.
👍👍👍
Can you do Once and future queen next pretty please??? 🍻 hope you’re safe and healthy sir!
Home- the long goodbye plis!
Thanks for posting! Quick question - when playing some of the “unknown chords” - did u discover them by trial and error based on what worked or is it learned from other guitarists/songwriters? Colin meloy (Decemberists) posted a similar how to video and had the same “I don’t know what this chord is but here it is” comment.
Is there a dummies video for the song James? That one cord in there is haunting me and I can’t get the gist of it at all and you probably know which one I’m talking about because it sounds dissonant or something
Thank you!!!!!!
🙌🙌🙌
If you dig this as much as I do, you might also like to see Phil Madeira walk you through "From This Valley," which he co-wrote with JPW. ua-cam.com/video/uaTaXYwvMy8/v-deo.html
When showing the right hand can you go slower and say which strings you play at the same time?
I want to learn. What's so. Soo badly. Just don't see any vids on it. I need help..
How many other artists teach you to play their own songs??
Still think JPW's best song is Simple Song. Try not to cry when you hear it played...
