Thank you so much for not spending forever naming every finger, string, and fret like the other lessons on here!! To the point and no time wasted. Great tutorial.
This style of explaining how to play this song is probably my favorite. Didn't spend two minutes in the telling me to smash that like button or buy whatever. Just gives a brief overview of the chords and gets right into it. I appreciate that.
I am inspired to comment, like many others posting here, on your real time teaching style which brings this lesson to life. Your articulation of a chord by raking each note, and repeating, allows the listener to hear the chord's definition without bringing the feeling of the tune to a standstill. All meat and potatoes, and then you floor it and pour on the gravy. Great picking, good job, thank you.
The way you play the song parts and break them down is the key to your teaching! I learned to play from Thom Bresh when I was 16, I am 60 now and I am learning from you the songs I never picked up. Excellent tutorial!
Hi Chris, have always enjoyed and appreciated your tutorials! You haven’t posted anything in a while, you’re probably busy, but wish you would put out some more! (Like “Whispering”, or “After You’ve Gone” and “Ain’t Misbehaving”.) I learned how to play “Road to Gungadai and Waltzing Matilda” from you. Thank you so much!!
For some reason, I find your tutorials very, very effective and easy to understand. I guess it's due to the right sense of what to explain, and what to skip. Also you always show critical parts which gets in the way, while skipping obvious parts. And of course, the choice of songs fits me, so thanks for all uour effort!
Yea, really nice as a tune. And very interesting 'basic' tutorial. 👍 Lil' by lil', I'm getting through this kind of work with right hand, I'm quite a newbie about fingerpicking. But my hardest trouble, is to take those kind of chords with the thumb over the neck, typical of this style.
Great lesson, thank you! One request please , can you start with playing the tune through once, at the beginning of the video. Many thanks. And as a public service, the play through is at 7:14 and has the roll - real pretty!
Thanks for all the tutorials and slowing things down. I've been playing in this style for only a year and your videos have helped a lot. What thumb pics do you use? All the ones I find keep rotating as I use them or just don' feel right.
The ones that I use are called Fred Kelly Speed Picks. I have been using them for about 10 years now. It has a long end on it that I actually cut in half and sand down a little because I find that that works best for me. They come in White/heavy Orange/medium and yellow/thin. I personally use the white ones and occasionally orange. Which Picks have you tried?
Joe Land This is actually an 1981-1982 Sigma-Martin DR-35N it is the only model of Martin-Sigma that was made in the USA Martin factory as far as I know and the were only made in '81-'82
Help me out? Perfect. I know just what you can do for me. Lend me your fingers. I have spent the last year trying to get my fingers to do what yours are doing and I have a whole channel full of failed attempts.
You can do it if you practice it..my hands are also very small but after a while I got it down..But I must say it hurts after a while, because the neck is just too wide up at the 7.th fret

That's so right, it's just unnecessary

Those banjo rolls are the trickiest thing about this song. Plus keeping the thumb going on the top E string.
You know how to play finger picking and you take a clean sound from the guitar.
Thanks for sharing.

Great tutorial Chris! Would love to see a lesson on fingerstyle rolls like the ones in this song. Thanks!
Great straight forward tutorial many others should learn from your teaching method
Great tutorial from a skilled guitar player. Great teaching - down to the business. MUch obligeddddddd

Nicely done. You've got a solid right hand.

Very well said as I agree 100%!
So true
KEEP IT UP I LOVE IT. Not too descriptive, but clearly shows the chord shapes, which really is all whats needed. Thank YOu so much!
Excellent, great sound and picking...go ahead on son!
Thank you for sharing your great gift - Amazing tutorial of a guitar masterpiece!
If you want the Tommy Emmanuel version, just go 1.5x speed and its pretty much dead on lol
Thanks for getting straight to the teaching without a lot of talking:)
Yea, really nice as a tune. And very interesting 'basic' tutorial. 👍

Nice, I have a '81 HD-28. Feels like nobody gives the guitars from this time the credit they deserve.
Wow... cool guitar!
Yes!
You're great

How can anyone bend their thumb up on 7th fret when playing E7 impossible absolutely impossible!
You can do it if you practice it..my hands are also very small but after a while I got it down..But I must say it hurts after a while, because the neck is just too wide up at the 7.th fret
