You can tell that this is a drummer (Dave Grohl) playing guitar. Just getting back into my guitar after 5 years and came across your channel. Wow, just wow! Your teaching style and CONCISE instruction is inspiring. I follow all the big guitar instruction channels and find yours, by far, the best. I'm scribed up and ready to roll...thanks my man.

[@nationalkillah3169]

I just palm-muted for the first time ever, and just couldn't stop smiling, that part with the power chords sounds phenomenal on acoustic! Thanks for the tutorial :)

[@GuitarAtWork]

That's so great! It's a really cool technique for sure and you'll use it in many songs. Glad to have you here with us!
Shane

[@jashickey]

YES!! I've been playing for 7-8 years, and someone told me early on that muting is the MAIN THING to sounding like a great guitar player and, even years later, I couldn't agree more!
That, and thousands of hours of practicing the techniques you suck at..

[@mattyknowles1162]

ive been playing for about 8 months, watched a ton of tutorials, and never have i seen someone explain palm muting so easily and effectively! thank you sir!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Matty - so glad it helped you. Very happy to have you here with us. Cheers!
Shane

[@aprylrittenhouse4562]

Yeah he did explain easy

[@fasteddyuk]

I've seen loads of UA-cam teachers. You're the best.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Ed - what a great comment to start my day off with here. Greatly appreciated! Shane

[@carbinmind]

As usual, great lesson Shane! I especially like how you break down the bass vs. chords strumming and make it very easy to learn.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you carbinmind - really appreciate that and very glad you enjoyed it - plenty more videos coming - cheers!
Shane

[@jimnjensephton1543]

This was so well explained. Didn’t rush through the tricky bits and clarified a lot of things that I couldn’t understand on other streams. Awesome

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Jim - very glad to hear that it worked for you. Have fun with it! Shane

[@charlesschwartz307]

I just found this video tutorial. Better late than never though. It’s a fantastic lesson, Thanks so much for taking time to create it.

[@matthiashamburg5980]

Thx Shane, very motivating as always ❤

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Matthias - my best to you! Shane.

[@trebucketz752]

Love it, sounds unreal. The strumming really makes it work.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Duo - hope you had fun with it!

[@ozuidema]

Nice work! I always play this on an electric but this sounds cool too. And great that you started with a run through first before breaking it into sections :).

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Prog - I really like the acoustic version of this song.
Shane

[@markhaze8684]

Another great lesson...I thank you and greet you from Italy

[@josefelixgesualdi6682]

Loved it Sir!! Thanks a lot!!

[@junomaxzoey5146]

You are a very good teacher...beautiful Taylor as well

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Juno - much appreciated. Glad you are here with us and I hope you're having fun with it. Cheers,
Shane

[@williamlayton1827]

Guy has sick energy 👍

[@Habdragon11]

Great lesson Shane! Any chance you could cover Patience by GnR? Lots of individual strings picked out in that one that I can't quite figure out!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Crazy Canuck - very glad you enjoyed it! Great song suggestion for sure - it's definitely on the list - Cheers!
Shane

[@sampsoncontreras6958]

i want to play this so bad! but its so hard man.

[@jchap087]

I’m not sure if this question has been asked or not but what model is that Taylor?? Awesome video thank you!!

[@Ty-il1ky]

Anyone have tips on matching the tempo in the first couple of bars?

[@Sadboy-bk1uc]

Play it by ear and don’t worry to much about playing the bass part with a cord it doesn’t change the sound much

[@jodyfree953]

👍🏻❤️💯

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Jody - my best to you, Shane

[@realizethelies]

Hey Shane,
What is the model of that guitar you are using? I see it's a Taylor but looking to purchase a Taylor or Martin soon!
Thanks!

[@nocka555]

Zach Brock It's a Taylor 814ce, £3500. 🤟

[@pavelek121]

Could you show Deftones change in the house of flys?

[@GuitarAtWork]

Good suggestion Chris - thank you!
Shane

[@MyBass5]

Late nights at thecampground this summer

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hi Adrian - Excellent - always fun!
Shane

[@russellroesner6073]

How can I strum like that? It’s impossible.

[@cynthiabowie8679]

I feel like my fingers are not long enough to play guitar.

[@GuitarAtWork]

I'll bet they're just fine Cynthia - it's all in how you hold your wrist to use whatever length you have in your fingers. Keep your thumb low. Cheers! Shane

[@douglovestheinternet]

Now that I've noticed his thumbnail, I can't un notice it.

[@DennisReichel]

Is that thumbs up or a thumbs down?

[@J00EE]

my fingers are too small

[@dylancolburnmusic6220]

Great lesson Shane! I'd appreciate it if you would check my cover songs on channel.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Will have a look Dylbob - thanks!
Shane

[@aprylrittenhouse4562]

I don't want to sound like a jerk but if someone needs that down up down up bit they really need to try something less advanced. This isn't a beginners song
