  • This has got to me one of the most beautiful chord progressions ever written; sounds great as a solo guitar piece too. Even better news, it's really easy to play! Download my 'free' idiot proof' chord charts here and give it a go. I promise, you won't be disappointment! Feel free to share. www.bluenotegui... (I did a performance demo a while back if you wan't to search for it).

    I'm straight into the tutorial with this vid but if you want to see a demo performance there's one I recorded a few years ago on the site. That said, I do a shorter rendition of it here, at the end of the vid.

    Omg I can’t believe I have just found you and your teachings. I have been playing for years and in such a slump. I have watched you for a little over an hour and the way you teach and relate to others have already changed my way of thinking. You are such an amazing teacher. Ty so much for all of your efforts I wish I could repay you somehow…. Well met my friend enjoying your site so very much.

    I've known this song for decades yet didn't realise it was a Bread song. 🙄Love it when people appreciate the talent they have and don't want to exploit people for money from it but want to experience that talent with others. Nice one Rob. Keep it up.

    Great Lesson, Rob. I sang this song for years, of course not in the original key, and yes, to much applause-especially holding the last note for The Big Ending. Can’t wait to tackle this on guitar since I am a retired Drummer and now self taught on guitar.
    Thanks, brother!🥁🎸👍

    That chord progression is sweet- sounds great. A song I have slways wanted to play is Davy Graham's Anji - also covered by Bert Jansch and Paul Simon. I've tried in thepast but didn't get very far. I'm sure would go much further w😢ith your ' idiot proof' tutorials.

      Ultimately, It’s all about the performance. If you enjoy all the in depth theory too then that’s great, but it won’t make your fingers move any faster. It’s a bit like a sport, you can’t learn how to play golf by reading a book; you’ve got to get out there and hit a ball.👍🏻
