I would urge anyone who's struggling with this to persevere, as it sounds and looks a whole lot more complicated than it is, and is so so much fun to play. If you can play it slow, you can play it fast! I've been following the other channel for years, and will be following this one, as I mainly play acoustic fingerstyle. If you read this Paul, thank you so much for all of the truly amazing teaching work over the years. I would recommend the intermediate course for those wanting to take things to the next level too. It was a fantastic way to spend the first UK lockdown, was worth every penny, and has given me a skill for life. Great beard as always too!
I was getting frustrated and almost gave up, then I saw this comment and it inspired me to keep trying a little bit more. One day later and I’ve got the first two bits! I am so happy. Thanks for the random encouragement, random stranger! ;)
@@EmJayPee Great! So glad this comment helped. Apply the motivation you had to learn this to other songs and techniques you previously thought outside of your comfort zone. You'll be amazed at how quickly things start coming together. Patience, perseverance, and practice. Then practice some more!
Best guitar teacher around. I've been playing 17 years. I'll admit I'm a good guitarist, I fucking should be after all this time, but, I've been lazy in my time. You have reminded why I have an unquenchable love for guitar. I'm playing more than ever. Keep being a legend. 💜
Paul Davis has excellent teaching skills. He puts the notes and he puts the tab and he shows you how to play it. That way you don’t get confused and you don’t see Jess fingers and knuckles going all over the fingerboard mini teachers on UA-cam teach this method You can’t tell what they’re doing close up or not you can’t tell. No wonder beginners get confused Paul Davis you’re a beautiful teacher. Thanks for your video. I love it that’s the way you teach music the way you teach it.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎸🎼🎶👍🏼💖😎
not to slow, not to fast. Well organized and original chords. Thank you I love this tutorial. I know some comments say baby steps but I am really enjoying someone uploading a video exactly my level, which is in the middle between beginner and actually being good. I'm tired of all these super beginner tutorials
When I learned this (50 years ago! Watching Bert Jansch) I knew I could just about play the guitar good enough for someone listening to maybe enjoy it. I haven’t improved massively since then. But, hey ! I can always play some blues.
I will take all the fingerstyle acoustic bluesy lessons that you have to offer! It's a style of playing I've been desperate to learn but unsure where to start. Thanks for another great lesson. Hope you have a great day xx
This song is one of the first blues songs I ever heard. It opened me to Robert Johnson, BB, SRV and so much more. Muddy, buddy, I can't thank you enough for this
if i become a master guitarist and win 10 grammys i will mention you in my acceptance speech before my parents and john mayer. youre a big inspiration🙏🤝
This is an extraordinary lesson. Thank you Paul for your incredible teaching and guitar skills. This lesson not only helped me play the song but understand it as well, and got me excited about learning more blues.
I have seen many guitar teachers on youtube. This is by far my-tube. Or should I say my-tune.? Paul cracks every door open with style and ease, no creaking sounds. El-maestro brillianto.
Thanks, really. You have no idea how much horrible stuff i have going on and how hard i work, guitar is my escape from all that. Youve gave me something to work on for a few minutes before i got to go back to the real world. I knew the chords strumming with the chromatic walking, but now i can busy my mind with learning your finger style version instead of thinking about all my problems.
Ive stayed with this for a few weeks and now i have it pretty dang good. My slap/strum was weak at 1st but now its on point. The less you worry about it the better it turns out....go figure.
why would anyone click the thumbs down button... numpties..!! some sad people about I hope they got confused between up and down 👍🏻🎸🤷♀️ keep up the videos Paul really clear, interesting and helpful in my opinion... 😉😎👌🏼😁
I’ve been wanting to play this ever since I saw that video where you went through all the pieces that taught you guitar but I couldn’t find a good tutorial on UA-cam! So glad you’ve done this Paul!! This is why you’re the best out there by a long shot!!
It's very kind of you to teach us this style of playing. Thank you very much! I play mainly classical (with a real teacher in the flesh) and this is something completely different. It needs a lot of practising to make it my own. But I nailed your 'Super Fun Fingerstyle BLUES You Should Know', so I will get this too....! :-)
Yes please do tutorials! You’re such a good teacher and I’m sure it has helped and will help a ton of people (I know it’s helped me). I appreciate everything you’ve helped me with more than words can express and can’t wait to learn more
I learned this once simplified, learned it from you much more beautifully after you posted this, now I came back and learned that opening bit by bit like you did and played with you, and that is amazing. You're strolling through and it's gorgeous to play exactly like that. I just played with you at the same time and it feel awesome. You're the man. I want to play with you live any day.
Paul Davis you’re what is the best damn teachers there are on UA-cam I love your teaching skills you’re a very excellent teacher I appreciate all of your videos thank you so much👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸💖
Amazing how that chord progression accepts almost any note when you solo on top of it !!! Especially chroamticisms are most welcome: they eco those expressed in the chord progression itself. Thank you Paul for the 2 videos on this beautiful song that has remained somehow oral-tradition and undefined so long. Perfect shot, as almost any of your videos!
Auch plz do more tutorialsss You are SO talented, and your music is just amazing. I learn so much from you, and I can't wait to learn moree So first thank you so damn much, and please do more of thesee🙏🙏
I love your teaching style. A big fan. I am a retired band and orchestra teacher who studied jazz and classical guitar in college. Excited about learning acoustic steel string guitar songs. Thanks so much for this upload. I will learn it! 🎶
Good job bud. I like the way you throw in a little nod to your acoustic product without turning it into a blatant commercial. Smooth move on your part. So anyway, I am finding that this is a style that I probably should have been working on for my whole guitar adventure. Thankx.
I cannot describe with words, how sweet this guitar sounds. So exceptional I even looked it up what model you play. I never did this before in yt videos. So amazing
Paul this is my favourite rendition of this song. I thought I played it just fine till I heard your version. Ah well, back to the drawing board. Thank you
"lightbulb moment" about the fretboard today; it just clicked, I am so overwhelmed with joy lol thank you for helping me on this journey your lessons are impeccable
Paul, you are honestly the best inspiration for modern acoustic guitar playing in my point of view. I’m already on the acoustic adventure and I would really love to see more song tutorials by you
Member of your Acoustic Adventure course here, and despite I m still working on the course, I won't mind spending extra hours to follow more of your acoustic tutorials on this channel ;)
That Martin sounds amazing . Most Martin's do but this one's special that's for sure . Your an amazing teacher btw . Been playing over 20 years and I always learn something from watching u . Think I'm gonna sign up for some of your lessons
Awesome! I was actually searching for this tutorial from you three weeks ago after seeing your favorite finger picking video. Its like you read my mind! Thanks a lot. The entire Clapton unplugged series repertoire would be a great addition. Keep em coming! Big fan! Martijn.
Paul, I’ve been gratefully following you since long before you made the whole-heated (yet half-certain) leap of faith into your UA-cam-only career. We’re delighted with all you’ve been able to give us, confident that your splendid success springs from your extraordinary combination of talent, optimism and humility. Bless you, sir!
You theoriaticians really knock me out. When Beatlemania hit, Bob Dylan said, in so many words, "[The Beatles']use of chords is schizophrenic". I getting same impression in your analysis of this song. But,, it's theory, so what do I know? The Beatles could not read music; Nordic they know theory. So they must have been naturals at it. I love this stuff. Thank you.
My favorite guitar teacher teaching one of my favorite blues tune?
Absolutely...
Can’t put into words how thankful I am for this

Been trying to play fingerstyle for 44yrs...i enjoy the sound so much i will never stop trying...nothing stirs the spirit more!
@@philliparmstrong776 Yes , me too Phillip, but I can't get that slapping right! I will... someday. ;-)
Always wanted to play it like you since the first time i heard it in your top 10 acoustic songs that made you learn guitar, thanks!
I too like Lime and White!

You can already tell the amount of work that goes into the videos and now you're adding this? How can one man be so helpful!?
The fact that Clapton plays this while singing will boggle my mind forever
Bru just learn it so well that you can play it without thinking ur next moves , im trying to do that 🤤
@@akemdam9824 can you play it so wel alreayd? (i just started )
En realidad, Clapton no lo toca así.
But why ? It’s a easy song with basic chords.
@@fatttony9156And you don’t have to fingerpick it.
You need to add a warning that this is highly addictive. Thanks for sharing this!
The world without your teaching could be an empty box with no life and happiness
I will take all the fingerstyle acoustic bluesy lessons that you have to offer! It's a style of playing I've been desperate to learn but unsure where to start. Thanks for another great lesson. Hope you have a great day xx

The best sounding version of this song I found so far (those thumb slaps are awesome), and a great tutorial. Thank you Paul.
You are amazing. I have learned so much from you, and I have been playing for 50 years. Thank you.
