Love this lesson and the way you teach it. I love the song too, but as a beginner, it is still intimidating with the tempo and finger picking. One thing I found is that in the settings I can slow the play speed right down and helps me focus and play along on the right hand picking. Just thought I would share for other beginners who might not know 🎸

Heck yes, part 2 please.

👋👋🤪

Dear Rob, Please do "Thank you " by Hall and Oates from their 70's album "Whole Oates". Its a lovely mellow finger picking tune. I know to everyone out there, it will seem obscure, but have a listen and see what you think. I have wanted to be able to play this for years, but unfortunately, I'm quite thick when it comes to transcribing from recordings. Cheers.

Thanks mate. I'm one of your new subscribers and I'm really enjoying your content

Great tips. Thanks Rob!

Is it Fiona Boyd's version of Gymnopedie (#1 I assume). I play that one. I had a little trouble with the parts that were up on the 9th 12th fret and above. But I think I've overcome that now. Anyway it is a beautiful piece.

People underestimate the effort endurance it takes to play guitar. And classic rock songs is like sleeping they certainly don’t require stretch. Alan holdsworth maybe. The new modern guitarist are hard, try learning any polyphia song for challenge. The eighties elite shredders struggle with new styles. Guys like slosh Guns N’ Roses are intermediate level. The average guy who puts in time can play slashes entire discography. Polyphia takes more than just practice,

Thanks Rob for the classical guitar tips. Look forward to additional classical pieces

While I don't disagree with your point at all Rob,the reason these 'wonderkids' can play some of those chords is due,in lots of cases, to youngsters having more cartilage than bone in their hands and feet( although feet usually have little to do with playing the guitar!) until their late teens and beyond. There is obvious great talent of course but also a physiological side to it too. Us oldies will not be able to do some of the same stretches due to physiology,in part,but there are always ways around it even then. This is why in our beloved football (Soccer to North Americans) that youngsters should stop copying wearing those ridiculously short shinpads that professionals wear as their joints are still maturing and bones are not yet fully formed. This is not me making excuses but more of a lesson for those of us who get that inferiority complex when we see those fantastic players at such a young age and want to burn our guitars! :) Don't fret (no pun intended) and be as good as you can be yourselves and not some Chinese 8 year old on UA-cam people.

Another great video, Rob! Question: how do you go about memorizing a long instrumental piece of music?

Excellent as always. The technique question I had is how you do the finger roll on some of those Gymnopédie chords. My fingers don’t want to move so quickly one after the other so I just have to pluck them all at the same time 😩

something to focus on after that abysmal football tonight

How about with somebody with big /fat hands?

Thank you. My challenge is memorizing it all. I tend to repeat about two measures at a time, then try to go back from beginning to what I thought I had memorized. Reading music or using tab might help but your bluenote fingering sheet really helps get it going!

Name of device you showed to hold the guitar. Thanks.

One of your best videos! Straight to the point, no excuses! Thank you, I feel motivated!

The best piece of advice I ever got from a guitar teacher when having trouble with bar chords was " it's not pressure it's placement" I'm still crap at bar chords but I don't fear them.

Thank you.

Love your classical guitar, yes my fingers a stiff, from age. Hard work, farm hands larger today than yesterday. Wedding ring tells me plenty, HA, want cut my ring for sentimental reasons , 70's 80's The best music ever written ❤😊

Thanks!

Please part 2! 😊 Shared this on FB.

The guy with the hook you mentioned is in a band called the Peace Pirates. As you say Rob, worth checking out!

unfortunately, you are right! Ugh. Its mental intensity to be in correct form, not just looking for results, but, reenforcing the correct feelings and positions. The end of my fingers have a bulge of flesh that make some chords muted, but I am getting around that with deep concentration on my finger instertion angle. Keep on keeping on is the way to go

Thanks

Again the idiot sheets not downloading? Is there a problem with the www. Blar blar blar.

Amazing working on Apache Gallop at moment 👏 this is my next main one money for nout. Ttfn 😢

George wrote an amazing song

Hi yet again 🙃 I assume this is to get the rhythm of the piece of music, and progression do you need also to know the notes, isn't this a more really advanced idea, I can pick out notes either piano or guitar but it takes forever, best way I can put this as playing by ear seems impossiblebly long winded, ps will not be leaving your channel for well could be forever great material, I play rhythm not bad and my style, but finding lead guitar most difficult were to Start I have scale knowledge and major and min pentatonic knowledge but putting it together is another thing. Cheers Vincent

Excellent! Best lesson on this song ever

F.F.S, why not just use tab?

Great lesson, Rob, as usual! A totally random question - what gauge strings are those you’re using please? Nice mellow sound from them!

Loved it. Beautiful tune

I love the way you instruct. It really fits where I am. First picked up a guitar after Ed Sullivan. Thanks Dad. My occupation, pilot, keep me away from music for a long time. Retired now for 15 years and play every day' I'm no couch potato. Started a classic rock band and reliving the 60's. I'm only writing this to show 1 man's travels to get back where he really wanted to be. BTW, I must tell you my gear then I'm gone. New, 1 yr old Rickenbacker 360/6, custom solid body 12 string, "69" Vox Super Beatle cabinet is powered by a Rivera 45 watt amp.Please, I'm not boasting just have been fortunate. Rock On !

Starting Off and On at 50bpm - getting less on and awful every day! Thanks Rob.

Thanks
