That's what my teacher always tells me: you should always have fun playing, even alone, and "dance" while playing. It's contagious and if you play in front of an audience you share your joy and everyone has a blast! Thanks for your video, you have the right "swing"!!
your lessons are so relaxed and motivating. it feels great to jump in when you play and i actually feel like making progress. perfect tempo for imho, not unnesseary repetitive and focused on the details at the same time. also your presentated artists open a whole guitar rabbid hole for me. thank you so much MR FGA
You are the only person on youtube who is giving valuable lessons. Others are just wasting time except very few. WHat i don' understand is why you don't have million subs.
For me, this is THE absolute best guitar instruction channel around. I have some other favourites, but this one ... is on a level above the rest. [Edit:] After looking at the donation page on your site I decided to get the all access pass. It's very cheap even just for what you've got here on yt. It's my xmas gift to myself and a thank you and support for how much I've gotten from you already here.
This is such a great lesson. Thank you so much for all the content you put out. No one else out here is teaching hill country like you do. All this information is priceless
I Love These Lessons, and I hope you never tire of providing them! I’ve purchased 4 or 5 of RL’s recordings this past year. Great stuff! Keep Up the Great Work!
Thanks for introducing us to so many great players and the many techniques. I am working on rhythm and timing. The simplest groove in time can sound great. Then add more… Your build method is the way to go on my improvement. Thanks for everything over the last couple years to help me improve and enjoy learning guitar.
You are a talented, compassionate and inspiring instructor! I'm a subscriber to your full content. My only regret is that I hadn't subscribed much earlier!
You're a hellhound on the trail of the way that he was doing this. Love your playing, teaching, and your build method... superb. One thing I've of observed, and it's impossible to know how much is true or not if you couldn't ask him, but when I look at his playing it looks to me like he is using VERY LITTLE left hand muting at all, but more like it's all coming from the lower palm and wrist area of the right hand AFTER the thumb scratch. How that could be possible in the consistency and timing that he executes it with I have no idea, but that's what it LOOKS like. And I think that kind of right hand mute plays a significant PART at least in his style, which would be one reason using a thumb scratch and not a backhand is important to really copping the funky feel that HE had. Play on man and thanks.
Yea its really hard to tell for sure. Ive watched a lot and slowed it down and its still really hard to see. Im glad you like my lessons! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Like R.L., you also are always smiling and enjoying playing. Instead of trying to play as well as you or RL, my goal will be to likewise enjoy it. That I believe is doable. Thanks ❤
Your videos have REALLY helped me out learning this song. I've always loved this song and it's such an odd strumming pattern. Now...for some reason, for me, I'm basically only using the thumb on the low E bass lines. Flicking the rest of this little shuffle with the index in that little Flicky up and down motion for some reason is just working for me. I'm 2 days in and have the pattern down. Now I just need to bring the speed up a bit. Big time thanks for picking this song apart.
New fave teacher for sure. Thanks man! I’d love to know - what should I be practising to be able to play acoustic blues so well? Fingerpicking? Thumb independence? Learning notes? I’ve been playing guitar years - but I can’t get acoustic blues yet, it’s so hard!
Just weighing in on how this goes personally for me having learned classical and fingerstyle in my teens. I've just started playing again after decades not touching a guitar, and now focusing on acoustic blues. A lot of the muscle memory is still there and it really helps a lot with this style. The right hand finger/thumb independence along with the mental shift that is essential to hearing/feeling the bass separate from the melody. I think this is the most important for this style. I don't think you can separate fingerpicking and thumb independence as they are integral to each other.
I agree with Lucy, get a good foundation of the basics of fingerpicking. Pick an easyish song in the style and record yourself playing it so you can really hear how it sounds. Then just try to improve one thing each session and dont give up until its souding how you want. Also listening to lots of music in the style is essential. My course Your Fingerstyle Guide focuses on these things and its a really great course for that when you're ready.
@@FeedbackGuitarAcademy Definitely agree with this. Having worked through several of the lessons on your fingerstyle course now, and even with my years of long lost experience with it, I learned a lot. There were some invaluable tips that improved things for me immediately. The examples were not too simplistic as beginner stuff often is. I'm really excited about what I will continue to get from this as I work through the rest of it. I've had many instruction books and a dvd in the past and I can say without reservation your course is a lot better, even as a stand alone. With comments and questions etc, it's a gold mine. Thanks again for this channel and your site!
Agreed. I would love there to be a play through first with the instruction videos. It gives you a better feel for what's being demonstrated if you've heard the whole thing.
I usually play a clip of the song at the beginning of the lesson, but I can add a more full playthru with tabs next time 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting!
I was jammin some of this the other night and I use my pointer finger to get that jam rhythm and let me tell you, I cant even play right now. It started bleeding and my finger nail cracked. Now I have to use a pick but Im still using my finger and it hurts like a mfer. Yall goneasy when learning this stuff. Its serious business.

i love your smile
Thanks😁
Just subbed hey do you have any tips for artist that play by ear, ive hit a wall on the guitar
Did you say what finger position on the fretting hand? Maybe i missed it?
Can you play the whole song through without instructions? Please
Agreed. I would love there to be a play through first with the instruction videos. It gives you a better feel for what's being demonstrated if you've heard the whole thing.
I usually play a clip of the song at the beginning of the lesson, but I can add a more full playthru with tabs next time 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting!
You just don't miss
Haha- thats great to hear! Thanks for watching and commenting!
❤ cool
Glad you like it- Thanks for watching and commenting!

I was jammin some of this the other night and I use my pointer finger to get that jam rhythm and let me tell you, I cant even play right now. It started bleeding and my finger nail cracked. Now I have to use a pick but Im still using my finger and it hurts like a mfer. Yall goneasy when learning this stuff. Its serious business.
