      Not just that... Sometimes I want to see what their interpretation of the song is, or "how they play it".
      The amount of times I've tried to learn a piece of sheet music or yt tutorial, and halfway thru I realise it's either wrong, incomplete, or interpreted differently to the original and I've just wasted a bunch of time.

      Yeah. You should first listen to the song and just learn the chords first so you know how it’s ‘supposed’ to sound. 😂

    Dutch, 68 and love the way you're teaching this beautiful bluegrass piece. Haven't played the guitar for over 25 years, picked it up again like a few months ago starting with all the open chords and some Travis finger-picking and getting there. Now I'm working on this piece the last week (every day) it just needs a little more speed.
    The cross-picking makes it much easier to pick it up. Thanks for making me look/sound like a pro bluegrass guitar player. (the neighbour thought it was on the radio,
    got an ACUS 6 acoustic amp and a 622CE Eastman)

      @@brettadkins7563 It's a great guitar, low action and the neck feels just righ, smooth and fits beautiful.
      Actually I was looking for a Taylor but found the "equivalent" for €1000,- less, I consider it as being a Chinese Taylor ;)
      The sound of the 622CE is just slightly less dark/warm compared to the "equivalent" Taylor 512CE NG. (the AC622 beeing Maple and the 512CE mahogany both back and sides)
      The sound-port of the Eastman 622CE makes up for that "loss" ---- while the sound of the Taylor goes away from you, the sound of the Eastman comes directly to you as if you were sitting in front of the guitar, it really makes a huge difference.
      Don't get too enthusiastic from all the videos, they all sound absolutely beautiful and warm, especially with a headphone.
      When able just try a few guitars in the guitar-shop. Good luck :)

    You could absolutely tell how the song goes all the way back to the 17th century. If you’re familiar with the music of the time, you will notice that it is modal. That gives it a very renaissance sound. John Dowland himself would not have found anything strange in the tune. He might’ve raised an eyebrow at the tempo. It might’ve been played a little slower back then. And I can almost guarantee that it would’ve been played on a 10 course Renaissance lute when it was first sung. That was old John‘s instrument. It’s amazing how it’s come down to us over the centuries like this.

I live in West Virginia now, for 8 years so I thought it necessary...lol..the older people around here arent quite into Steve Howe or other fingerpicking styles. Will help in my dexterity. You probably wont see this as the video has been up for 6 years but I hope you're doing well. I have and will probably check out some of your other videos. Glad you put the playing of it first in your video. It helps knowing the tempo and shows , as you said, how it can sound cross picking if you are doing it solo. Might check out Sonora guitar lessons too. Billy Strings endorses them.

    Good on ya. I mean you are really breaking it down. As if someone was learning tabs to a piece and memorizing the fingering n then developing the melodic structure.

    Excellent lesson! The sound quality and effort put into the video production are great (and thanks for the follow-up crosspicking video too). I'll update you in 2 years when I get this mastered :D

    Maybe this lesson will help more people understand both the beauty And the difficulty of Bluegrass. These Pickers are Badass...and most of them play 3-6 instruments at excellent levels.....

    I've listened to many versions of this tune, and you playing it in the intro is possibly my favorite. Do you have a version of just you playing the whole thing, guitar only?
