[bennie9026]

[bennie9026]

awasome job!!!! Can you please show the strumming pattern Ive been practicing it almost got it but have no idea the strumming pattern

[outdoorsman5426]

@KenMiddletonGuitar so how do we know what string you are picking after the first part?

[truelovelon]

Thanks for the lesson! Awesome! :)

[MrStunts11]

awesome tune sounds great!

[dskap201]

Great job!

What kind of guitar are you playing?

[oldteabag1]

Are you picking on the verse and then strumming on the chorus?

[bluegrassman776]

this guy makes a little too easy, there is actually 3, or you can use 4 chords in this song he goes over just the g and c parts

[Axion3812]

no weirdness.. but i love your hands. I think you can a lot about a person by their hands.. every crease it's own story of your life

[fisher6295]

[TheArctiK7]

[theJamodog]

My first encounter of Bluegrass and sounds great but whats your right hand doing ???? as its toodifficult 4 me to guess what strings your plucking !!

[camoammo3]

ok you need to show what your plucking that would make it better

[ken6675]

hey thanks for the lesson this a great song.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks.

[Jimelvis1977]

I had always wanted to play this and thought it was real hard, but thanks to this lesson i almost got it whipped: Jim

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

My pleasure.

[runeman808]

hey i love this song it was may dads fav he just passed away can you show the whole guitar and go in more depth it mean the world

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

No, sorry. I am not doing guitar videos at the moment.

[bnc98765]

thanks for the lesson. i love this song.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

My pleasure.

[froggyplayer]

The bit with the b and g string is killing me. Are you strumming the bottom three strings or just those two. I've almost got this whipped but I can't figure that part out. Please help.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I'm playing top 3 strings, but it doesn't matter if you miss the first string. Just aim to play the 2nd and 3rd.

[bnjunkie]

Thanks Ken... I'm just a beginner and found your instructions easy to follow and oh so much fun to play. Blessings, Debbie

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you, Debbie.

[5ndmer]

Ken,

Any chance you will be doing any 12 string and/or dobro videos?

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Sorry: never owned a dobro and the last 12 string I owned I sold in about 1969. I vowede never to get another.

[5ndmer]

Great... Thanks for sharing

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thank you.

[stealthdkm]

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

I'll do my best, but I'm concentrating on ukulele videos at the moment.

[russbuss415]

excellent tutorial. thanks Ken!

[KenMiddletonGuitar]

Thank you Russ.

[SaddleSoreSista1]

Really crisp playing and clear concise tutorial.

[KenMiddletonGuitar]

Thanks again for your support.

[deach69]

LOL @ Baron!

Ken you make it seem so simple.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Thanks Deach. It isn't too difficult, once you get the idea of picking and strumming at the same time.

[BaronK69]

Sweet Ken! Your tone is just as excellent on guitar as on the uke! Is that the Taylor you're playing on? Sounds like a dream.

(Ha! I beat Deach this time!)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

It is a Collings OM3. Great guitar, made in Austin, Texas.

[BaronK69]

Yeah, I know about them - they make great mandos too! Expensive though, like I bet that guitar was... You've got quite a collection there, Ken!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Yes, but I don't buy guitars any more. I figure that the ones I have will last me.
