Tim Van Roy your tutorials are so great... you deserve so many more views/subs. you have unlocked tommy's songs which i love. ive been playing guitar for 20 years and i've never been able to learn tommy's songs until your videos, and now people i play for get to hear some of these beautiful songs for the first time all because of you! thankyou for all the work you put into getting these videos so clean and informative with all the great camera angles
It's been 2-3 years that I stoped playing guitar because of my lack of motivation. It's been a long time that I've been waiting for this tutorial thank you very much, I'm starting today :D
Then take your time Lorik! This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, but it is a delicate and subtle tune to nail. I hope the video helps you out!
Oh Man! thank you so much! You unlock that daunting collection of notes and timing down in way that a person might believe it is possible! I heard this song 2 years ago and thought "i'll ever be able to play that, for sure", but the song took me like no other. Its such a powerful song, it paints a moving picture and story theme unlike any other song ive heard, and the way you play it, and the sound you produce is so amazing that it kept me re-attempting something i usually wouldnt have. Your camera catches the vibration of the string,adding more bronze color to the most active string, which actually is like an added feature for which string is hit in what order. The microphone imppeccable. Way to go man, bravo. What a treat this has been tonight
Thanks again Tim, this really helped me clean up what I’ve been playing for quite some time..dropped some notes along the way somehow…time for me to stop by the TIP JAR you’re putting in so much work on the channel I don’t know where you find it !
Thanks Vaughn! Redoing all these old tutorials was a real chore, but I've just republished the very last one. Coming week you will see the first new songs pop up, and there are a few very exciting things heading your way!
Thanks so much! I was halfway through learning off this tutorial originally, and it was really sad to see it go when you had to take content down. It's great that you've gotten the logistics sorted and can now re-upload. I'm excited to return to this song! Much appreciated, keep it up
Thanks! I was in doubt wether to reupload this since it is a very early tutorial and there is a lot I would do differently now. Lewis And Clarke is my all-time favourite song, and I will probably make a new version one day to do it justice. In the meantime, have fun with this one 😉
Hi I'm from Germany ;). I'm petty much learning all of the songs you upload a tutorial for. You became kind of a friend of mine, since I spend so much time with you virtually. Which is funny, since we've never met :D. Keep it up!
Well, meeting up in person might just be possible one day! I travelled to Amsterdam last weekend to meet up with some people there. Maybe next year in Germany? 😜
You are welcome! This was one of my earliest tutorials, and I probably would have done things a bit differently now. Maybe I'll remake it in the future, because this song deserves it!
Wow.. Was für eine gefühlvolle Melodie.. danke das du das mit uns teilst! Ich versuche es selber zu lernen, das Intro ist relativ anspruchsvoll. Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🎸🎧🤗👍🏻
Hey, thanks for a wonderful lesson! I found it easy to slip in the open G string in the hard chord of the intro, instead of dealing with the 'muted' string.. it works like a charm. Thought I'd leave that here, should anyone find it usefull.. Anyways, keep on the good work!
Thanks man, a great addition to Tommy's tutorial on undoubtedly one of his most inspired (and inspiring) tunes. Great you're pointing out various fingerings to understand better how to get the real deal. Keep up the good work Tim!
Thanks! That is much appreciated! This was one of my earliest tutorials, and do think/hope things have improved in the meantime. Lewis & Clark still is (and probably always will be) my favourite acoustic song, and me redoing this tutorial in the future is pretty much guaranteed 😜
Thank you so much!!! I’m done with this one know. I wanna play it on top of Pompey’s pillar. Lewis and Clark carved there name in it. It here in Montana. That’s why I wanna to learn it so badly. Thank you. Over the rainbow next.
Outstanding tutorial. I actually have tab for this but was struggling a bit with the rhythm -- the tab has all the little one off notes that become somewhat intuitive once you master the rhythm but can be hard to decipher when reading through. I think you did a really great job of cutting through all of that noise and focusing on the underlying chords and notes that really matter. I found once I was hitting the ones you focused on, those extra notes came in almost automatically. I initially saw this before you had to pull the tabs but circled back to learn afterwards. I think it comes through just as well without them. Great job.
Thank you so much for this great tutorial, you are a really good teacher ! My girlfriend love this song and i'm so happy to play it for her =) Un grand merci de France !
Thanks! This is an early tutorial, and I've spotted some mistakes in the meantime (very minor things, but still). Have fun with this, and do expect and updated version in the future!
Enjoy! Mastering this tune will give you joy for the rest of your guitar playing life ;-) It's still my favourite tune to play whenever I have 5 minutes to kill!
You have been consistent in providing excellent tutorials for Tommy songs, often better than Tommy’s tutorials…you are a natural teacher, glad to see you back on UA-cam. What model Maton are you playing? Looks smaller than Tommy’s little mouse…small jumbo?
Love these tutorials Tim, thank you for your hard work in putting these together! Can you provide some explanation of why an E major chord fits so nicely in this tune in the key of E minor? Is this a fairly typical 'borrowed' chord? Thank you!
Hi Rick! The E major chord can be seen as "borrowed" from E major, but I think you can view the verse as being in G major. That way the E major chord would be a major VI chord, which gives the song an optimistic lift (compared to the native Em chord) and it serves as a chromatic lead back into the G chord. Fancy stuff ;-)
Glad you put this one back up! I decided I needed a refresher on this and was hoping I’d find this one again. Personally, I also think not having the Tabs is an improvement. The video does a great enough job to be able to show what you’re doing and not having Tabs forces a little bit of ear training on us!
That's a great point Micheal! I was a bit worried that this one was too fast since it was one of the earliest tutorials I did. If I did it again now it probably would be 2 or 3 parts. But I do agree tab isn't always the best option...
Maybe it's a sensitive subject for the people who know and feel the song by heart, but I'd love it if you could add tears for jerusalem as a potential tutorial in the future.
Already on the next polling list! However, it'll be a while before that vote comes up, since I've just started work on number 4 of the previous top 10!
Advice for those of you who liked previous tutorial of Lewis and Clark with tabs. It is still there, in the videos you liked. ua-cam.com/video/ZLsgI-TiX9s/v-deo.html
Hi John, it's hard to keep up with all the requests - impossible really, at this point 😉. You can find a request board on my website. The song with the most votes gets a tutorial.
Hi Tim, great tutorial. I'm a big fan and I have learned song for a rainy morning from you. Thank you so much. I wanted to ask you where I can buy the tab for this tutorial.
Hi Howard! In almost all songs the link to the tab is in the description, but in this case I haven't added it to Musicnotes yet because I want to redo this lesson. It's one of my earliest tutorials and I made a few mistakes (and skipped a few things). This legendary song deserves better 😇
@@TimVanRoy Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to it. And I just wanted to let you know that I think you are absolutely amazing. You have made tommy's songs accessible for beginners like me. I’m very grateful for that. In China, there are millions of people who play the guitar and love tommy's songs but it is extremely difficult to find any good tutorials. UA-cam is blocked in China, I consider myself very lucky to be able to meet you here and learn from you. I hope wonderful things happen to you.
@@user-vb3nb1ww2z Thanks Howard! If it wasn't for Covid I probably would have already visited China by now, through my link with Mayson guitars. I'm still hoping it will happen in the future! I've thought about setting up a channel with the UA-cam lessons on a Chinese UA-cam-like platform, but it turns out to be quite complex to do that from Europe. It's a shame politics are blocking people from properly connecting all over the world!
Such an awesome lesson! Thank you! Any tips on integrating the melodic fills with the Travis picking? I am having trouble discerning which string to play with which bass note.
I found this site a few weeks ago! Wow! This is the 3rd TE song that I have attempted on your channel.. "Windy & Warm" , and "Song for a rainy morning" were my first 2, still working on getting them smooth and up to tempo. After not playing for 30 years, I was giving myself a few months to learn the 1st one, but the way you teach these songs makes learning them a lot faster than I thought( Still struggling with the timing of the diminished chord section in Windy & warm) . I originally learned to play guitar playing records at 16 speed, and wearing out the groves(Lol). I have sorted through most of this song in the last few day days without the TAB , but I can not seem to get the timing right on the Chorus section, it seems like the only pinch is on beat 1. Do you have Tab available that would allow me to count this out. I have also watched a few versions of tommy playing it slowed to .5 and still can't get it right! It is such a beautiful song, I would love to get the timing of this part right.. I have no problem paying for it, or even a one time annual subscription fee but not a fan of monthly auto payments. TX in advance!
I will reply to myself..(lol) I did sign up to your site this week to learn the "Docs Guitar" bridges! I managed to sort the timing of the chorus section out myself and just about have this song close to tempo, although it sounds ok at a slower speeds the Chorus needs some speed to feel right. I have been trying to sort out why the song feels so different when tommy plays it. I think it is in the way he uses his thumb, rather than cleanly playing the (chick) note in the thumb pattern he does not dig in to the note and routinely lightly brushes two strings and some times brushes the strings again on the way back to the next bass note. Also when trying to play it like this the melody seems to stand out more.. The same seems to be true in "Song for a rainy Morning" which I have also been working on. Anyways thanks for the great teaching style, the cost of a years subscription to your site will easily be justified with what I learn in the next few weeks!
Tim you're such a wonderful teacher. I've been playing this song for years but always felt that some things were off when I compared myself to the track, and you def cleared some of these things up for me! Thank you for helping me improve what is also my favourite TE song. One thing: for the picking pattern around 8:32, I think Tommy sometimes hammers on the second fret on the G string, and sometimes does a little variation where he hammers on the 4th fret of the G string with his ring finger, pulls off back to his index on 2nd fret G string, pulls off his index and hammers it back on (usually at the 2nd to last sequence of this section). Is this something you have encountered as well or am I making stuff up? Also, I though that Tommy said that he plays the upstroke in section Intro B with his fingers rather than thumb, although its still sounds great.
You are definitely not making stuff up! 😂 All your input is correct, although I'm not sure about playing the upstrokes with the fingers. This is one of my earliest tutorials (as you can tell by the terrified look on my face, I was still scared of the camera back then). I had decided to record a number of tutorials for Tommy's songs to work on my editing/recording/presenting skills, and I just started recording the songs as I played them, not realizing that I had changed certain things over the years. If I had known that making tutorials on Tommy's music was going to become a part-time profession, I would have check the song a few more times before making the video. Since this one is my favourite (by far!) it will probably be one of the first videos I'm going to redo in the future.
@@TimVanRoy Excited to hear! Ill def watch that one too. Amazing that you reply to these comments, makes the learning experience even better :) Im seriously considering becoming a patreon (which would be a first for me with that platform). Your lessons are just superb. Are the tabs part of the patreon or only on musicnotes?
@@thehumanity3324 I'm not allowed to share them online on the Patreon page anymore, but if you drop by the forum you'll find that people are sharing and swapping tabs all the time! I'll happily refund you if you are not satisfied with what is on the page ;-)
Yes! As far as I know you do skip a bass note on the D-string, although Tommy often adds a strum to replace that bass note as well. Don't overthink it, if you can keep the flow of the song going then it doesn't matter too much!
Thank you for your lesson. But you skip a little of parts. For example, you skip the first part where he does a trill with his first finger on the 3rd fret of the high e string
Thank you so much for this lesson! I'm having a hard time getting the alternating bass working in the chorus. My thumb tends to follow the melody rhythm. Do you have any tips?
Take it really (REALLY) slow at first. And to be honest: this is already somewhat advanced because of the multitude of techniques you have to use over that alternating bassline. If it doesn’t work out then maybe try something easier first (like my basic version of Freight Train). Getting that bass pattern right is the foundation for this whole style!

Tommy calls this song a "gift from God". It is - still - the most beautiful piece of music ever written on an acoustic guitar.
