  • This vid will show you how to play that brilliant guitar intro to 'Jolene' by Dolly Parton, plus the rest of the song of course. Sounds really hard but it's actually dead easy if...you download my 'free' my idiot proof charts and with the tutorial. Link here: www.bluenoteguitarschool.com/i...

    I doubt I'll ever find it explained better than this! I especially appreciate the part towards the end where you explain why you sometimes fret notes that you won't actually play, I always wondered about that. Thanks!

    Thank you for this clear and amazing lesson. I’m being gifted a Classical Guitar for Christmas this year from my partner. I haven’t played in over 10 years and really struggling to get back into it and play on my steel string after all this time! (My fingers have gone soft!) Will be checking out more of your stuff to practice!

    This was one of the first songs I got right , it does sound harder than it actually is, but it is basic chords at the end of the day. I personally found that accentuating the base line helps keep the rhythm.

    Amazing job! I found this song deceitfully challenging to learn when one of my students asked to learn it. I was like yeah no problemoooohhh...hmm... I'm gonna have to learn this with you and practice. But then I told them, since I'm learning it with you, if I master it first, I know you're not practicing haha! Btw, the Am with your 1st finger off is an Amsus2

    I quite like this, nice job matey.
    You seem to have a similar way of getting your head around fingerstyle pieces, as I do.
    Big fan of Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Jim Croce, Nick Drake, etc and some of their stuff seems impossible when you try to learn it as it's 'meant' to be learned. But like the way you teach and understand music, it can be learned in a different way and the end results are identical to the original.

    Another great lesson. Interestingly, I've had the main riff down for some time, but was messing up the picking pattern in the verses.

    • @fennahrob6934
      @fennahrob6934  9 місяців тому +2

      the picking in the verses doesn't have to be exact..A long as you're picking the correct chords 'in time' it'll sound fine.
