thank you Sir I am 67 and have waited 50 years for you to teach me I should have known the secret was to tune the guitar to G this song helped me to cry so many times when I was a much younger man thanks again
Steve, dang. Awesome note man. Thanks so much for sharing. Yeah, this song is insanely beautiful and heart breaking in its simplicity of sentiment. And yeah, my passion recently has been to help better inspire and teach guitarists. I'm glad it's proving fruitful. Lmk how else i can help, Steve. Stay in touch, man.
Working on this one now, thank you very much sir 😊 from brazil , from the UK but in brazil ... yeehar, luv bob Dylan, cheers fella. Keep up the good work 👍
Adam, Welcome aboard, buddy! That's the goal here. I try my best to go note for note and transcribe these songs personally as best I can. Then I teach em note for note in a slow, thoughtful, and hopefully optimistic and amusing way. Dive in, man! Have well over 200 tutorials on all your fingerpicking favorites!! Even if they're not favs yet, they will be soon! Join the MMM Discord and share your guitar journey.
Awesome lesson and thanks for being so into it it’s fun to watch you play something you love and early Dylan is my all time favorite of any music so thanks again!
Great lesson, Mike! I never realized how weird that intro is - thanks for sussing it out. Your advice about how to approach the guitar while singing the verses is excellent, and (as you point out) a great way to approach almost any fingerpicking song while you're singing. There's a guy named Fred Sokolow (old guy in my age group) who has a lot of instructional material out there, and his advice is very similar to yours. He says to first get used to where the chord changes are while in relation to the lyrics, then to just play the alternating bass parts while singing until you've got it down. Then add as much of the treble string notes as you can or want to. When I perform there are plenty of measures where I just play the bass part while I'm singing. Open G is such an easy key to improvise in that I'm not even bothering to learn the exact patterns on the verses of this particular song. Just get that signature slide in there where it's supposed to be, make sure the chord changes fall properly, sing like my supper depends on it, and we're all good!
Dennis, glad you're learning so much from the channel! Thanks. And yes, I dont know of Fred. I'll have to look him up. And yup, sounds a lot like the way i go about it! what songs next?
I search this song maybe once a year, maybe less.. You're the first I've found... And thank you... I get you bro, nice style nice video.. I appreciate you for making it... I've got close to hearing this come out of my guitar once or twice but never pieced together the open G tuning or just how simple it is, for Bob I imagine he was in some zone where he just played without pretense or forethought... And that why this song is so so beautiful. One of my favourite.. So thank you once more.
thanks! and glad you found the channel. lmk what other songs I can do for ya. And totally agreed. There's a real magic in Dylan's version of this song.
Hey Mike, I haven't watched this yet but know I will love it. This song has a special place in my heart. Cracking choice my friend, much love and peace from England
I just found you today wanting to learn this exact song you‘re amazing!!! Especially because you also sing the lyrics to the songs which a lot of teachers on here don’t, helps me tremendously because i’m not too good at memorizing bars or timing so I kinda have to sing along and time the chord changes and licks with the lyrics. One too Many mornings is also a absolutely beautiful song of his and maybe you could do a lesson on that one I’d be ecstatic!! :D
Hey, thanks! Appreciate it and glad you found the channel! Dive in. Lots of great content. And yes yes! I'll add One Too Many to the list! I use to cover that song. If you continue to get value from the channel consider monthly support! Any amount to keep the channel cranking em out!

aw yeah. Great. Let me know how this one goes. And woah, I dont this song. Very very cool! Thanks for the rec. I'll add it to the long long list. If you wanna throw me $100 bucks to bump it up the list haha. Otherwise please be patient with me. I've got at least 100 songs I wanna get to!
Thanks for commenting. I probably get more positive feedback on my banter and attitude than I do on the material itself. That being said, it's not for everyone. The last 2 years I've been time-stamping all the videos, and the "L" key is a millisecond away to jump ahead. Appreciate the feedback but sorry, the banter will stay.
@@ilgenio1813 Again, lots of people like it slow and repetitive. Repetition is practice after all. And as I said, it's very easy to skip ahead and jump around. And if it's too long and the song is too easy, then just snag the tab, which I make available at no cost, and learn from the tab and stop watching the video. And if you don't find anything useful, and it's simply long and annoying, well...Nothing else I can help you with. I'd point you to another channel.
Yes Mike!! These early Dylan lessons are worth their weight in gold!!!
yes yes. we agree! I wanna do Moonshiner and Rocks n Gravel as well!
@@MikesMusicMethod Thanks for your work 😄

One of the best songs ever written
I was searching for a lesson on this song and your work is just incredible... way above and beyond anything I expected. Thank you!

Amazing, even though this is a lesson I keep coming back just to listen to the sections your playing, great work.
thanks Tim. It's a gorgeous song.
Awesome lesson and thanks for being so into it it’s fun to watch you play something you love and early Dylan is my all time favorite of any music so thanks again!
ah, thanks, man. yes, Early Dylan is great! I'm over due for one. Which one next? I'm tempted to just do all of Freewheelin!

Just curious mate, what's your favorite Bob Dylan song?
Sweet! Thanx man, I love this song.
Thanks Mike! I was in the middle of dissecting this song when this popped up in my subscription feed! I'll just ask next time haha
haha, I get this kind of comment a lot. I must be a mind reader! And yes! Please just ask next time.
Mike.. you are awesome
thanks, Aleksi.
Great video, was just thinking I should learn to play this the other day! You should do "Cannock Chase" by Labi Siffre!
aw yeah. Great. Let me know how this one goes. And woah, I dont this song. Very very cool! Thanks for the rec. I'll add it to the long long list. If you wanna throw me $100 bucks to bump it up the list haha. Otherwise please be patient with me. I've got at least 100 songs I wanna get to!
@@MikesMusicMethod As a poor student I unfortunately have to decline, but I'm looking forward to it, and the 100 songs that'll come before it! :)
You should do some of his unreleased songs
what do you mean? This is from the bootleg series. Wasnt that "unreleased" for like 50 years? Or do you mean it in a different way? Link me!
I don‘t want to bother you, but did you upload the tabs to your website because I can’t seem to find them :(
no bother! sorry. tab is live NOW at MikesMusicMethod.com
you waste time

34 minutes for this song is too long. many things are repetitive and the rhythm is lost
