    Didn't recognize the title or the artist when I received the notice that you'd posted this video, so I went to UA-cam Music to play it before I watched your video here. Wow -- I'd completely forgotten this song ever existed! I totally remember it now -- but I'll bet it's been 25 years since I've heard it. LOL! Fun song! Definitely will see if I can't play along here shortly.

      Fantastic - a big thank you for that. I didn't remember it either when this fellow requested it - as soon as I heard it I remembered it immediately. Love it. My best to you! Shane

    😊 I don’t always comment Shane, but I watch your uploads without fail and just wanted to come on and say a big ‘thank you’ for all you do for us on UA-cam.
    Your lessons are first class and simply explained to us ‘lesser mortals’ all over the world, who would perhaps otherwise be unable to afford instruction. But the best bit for me is your ‘ENTHUSIASM’ while putting the techniques out to us. It makes me WANT to learn to play better. Give me another 1,000 years and I might be able to play half as good as you can! 🙈😂😂😂 Regards, Dave

    Absolutely loved this. Your teaching method along with playthroughs as you call out each chord along the way makes it a fun experience. Many thanks.

    Love your strumming technique, it looks so relaxed on all your videos…..how do you do it? Great song Shane and nice shorts!!

    • @GuitarAtWork
      @GuitarAtWork  7 місяців тому +3

      Hey thank you Johnny - it was SO hot in the studio today - Glad you enjoyed and to me, the secret to good strumming is not hanging onto the pick to tightly and just let it skip across the strings instead of holding it too tightly and dragging it across the strings. Play fast songs quietly for good practice. My best to you! Shane

    So many neat little techniques in this one, and you demonstrate and explain them so well that it takes any thought of "That's beyond my abilities" right out of the equation. And really loving the leads you've been offering of late; and nice addition and encourages the viewer to expand and explore. Thanks!

    • @GuitarAtWork
      @GuitarAtWork  7 місяців тому +1

    I have been playing for nearly 25 years now and still hate the B7 with a passion. Gave up long ago caring if I hit all the strings in it every time 😆Great teaching good sir.

    Cool song, great video, love it, can’t to try it.
    Been easing back into my guitar after some time of not really playing regularly and now I’ve one more reason to get to working on it.
    Just had a total knee replacement about 2 weeks ago so it will help take my mind off it.
    Thanks again Shane, hope all is well.

    • @GuitarAtWork
      @GuitarAtWork  7 місяців тому +2

      Yoiks - knee replacement - scares me to death as that may be coming my way in a few years. Glad to hear you're picking up your guitar again - enjoy and thanks for being here Wally - best to you, Shane

    Hi Shane! Beautiful lesson and awesome music. I have been following and learning from you for a while and was thrilled to see you using the Beat Buddy. If you don't mind would you be able to share your Beat Buddy settings for this song?

    Love your style of teaching! Just some background...I am 67 y/o, cancer survivor that just had hert surgery a week ago. I picked up the guitar again after finishing chemo. If you can, I would really love to learn 'End of the Day' by Al Stewart. Thanks in advance!

    Thank you Shane! One of my favorites from the 90's. I gave up on it because I couldn't play the bar chords "Spanish" style. Capo, duh.

    I was in Taco Bell this morning and this song was playing. I used Shazam to find out the name. I was surprised to find you doing it. Thanks. You’ve made it easy to understand. On the part where they use the keyboard, could it be looped so the keyboard could be played?

    • @GuitarAtWork
      @GuitarAtWork  3 місяці тому +1

      Hey for sure. Loop it. Great song. Cheers, Shane

    Hey Shane, tim again. Do you give guitar theory courses ? Ive bought a book but its confusing and im just notgetting it. Can you help ?

    • @GuitarAtWork

    Shane, what acoustic guitar amp are you using? And thanks for making videos.

    • @GuitarAtWork
      @GuitarAtWork  7 місяців тому +2

      Hiya - you’re hearing my Taylor 814ce plugged straight into the recorder - I add a little reverb and compression on mixdown. There’s also some mic bleed into the lapel mic I’m wearing which helps round out the sound a bit I’d say. Best to you, Shane
