[cbarrett34]

john denver was awesome, great songwriter, singer and guitarist

[thecowboysheart]

What are the chords you are using while going up the neck from a D are you using standard D shape? thecowboysheart@yahoo.com

[privettricker]

@thecowboysheart The walk-up starts in a regular D, then the rest are with the G string open: B string 3rd fret/G string 5th fret, then move that up two frets, then it ends on B string 10th fret/E string 12th fret.

That was beautiful man!

[xXTheVoyagerXx]

great job! one of the best Denver songs in my opinion

[doulos737]

Hey, Excellent job! I've wanted to know how to pick this song for years now, and I'm just gettin' round to it. I was on the right track off the cuff by ear, but thought I'd speed up the process and look for tutorials on it. I believe you got it, chap! Thanks! Keep strummin' and pickin'... :)

[jeferstrings]

looks like a hand full

[privettricker]

@jeferstrings It's really just a handful of parts repeated over and over. Like most pop songs!

[OpenDMAN]

Have to tackle this next. Thanks

[harrellbugg]

Understood - I just could not do the three changes up the neck on the three high parts while siging. Thanks again.

[harrellbugg]

Thanks for the video on Rocky Mountain High. I learned it your way and just changed a few small things to make it easier for me to play and sing too. Anyway, thanks for the video it helped me a lot.

[privettricker]

@harrellbugg Yeah -- being able to play it, and being able to play it WHILE SINGING are two entirely different things. I've never had trouble singing harmony while playing, but for some reason, I have difficulty singing lead melodies while playing.

[shadowofsilence2008]

excellent job!

[dmanbass]

Yea, its hard when your not singing and you gotta count and if you dont ya lose track, perfect I think as perfect as music should be anyway. IMO...... you got good hands and feel. I learned this song in about 15 minutes from just watching you. Great job and thanks!

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

Great! we use to play John Denver songs in the 1970s at school, total legend.

[caddyismygirl]

This makes me miss the long lazy days in the mountains

[mosis133]

this made me smile.

[rickyallen2000]

Perfect! you should give a tutorial.

[bordeauxbill1961]

Great job man !!

[westpapuanmob]

Thanks that really helps! This song really makes me homesick coz i'm a person of nature

[shaggy023]

Thank You! Just what I was looking for! You Rock!

[Beatlesfan1225]

fantastic

[Vraull]

This was what I was looking for. Playing in tempo. Amazing how many other "Instructional" video's out there are from poor musicians.

Nice work. Thanks.
