Eric

[johnboer]

And now we can play this beautiful song, thanks to Mike. Great.

Greetings from Holland

John

[elsoultero]

Many thanks for that. Great lessons....

[Mikazha]

This is next. Look forward to it. Mainly because the quality is better. I can actually see the strings and not just (random) pixels. Look forward to mastering the song. Then I can play it for my family, and then my brothers will learn it by ear in a few minutes. Dangit! lol

[rolandroiroi]

ok. i havent learned this part yet, and i guess this is the last part. Seeing the comments below really gives me goosebumps as i learn this last part. THANKS IN ADVANCE MIKE!!!

[lilboyinred1]

Real Unfortunate for me to realize AT THE END of the lessons that the majority of the

Tabs you have given me for the piece is inaccurate :P

(Viewing other's Covers and Even watching Mason Williams Himself Play the majority of It differently. :(

I consider you a decent experienced teacher but felt somewhat annoyed learning that im playing it Wrong.. sorry Mike

[rolandroiroi]

@lilboyinred1 he gave you tabs?

[Mikazha]

@rolandroiroi You can get tabs from his website.

[Animalmadjojo]

Thank you so much for uploading these - I never thought I would ever be able to play this wonderful piece, and now thanks to you I can! I feel like I have become a better guitarist thanks to them! :)

[hazilon]

can't believe i made it to the last part.. thanks a lot !

[giwrgosYR]

id like to thank you for the lessons and the tab i finnaly got to learn it though some tips for the others , read the tab dont just watch the videos as he said some notes might be missed and its natural you learn the songs at a specific tempo changing it can get tricky also listen to the original mason williams song and and some details for example the pul of hammer on after the slow intro at the Am its B || 0-h1p0h1 and the four chords ring its not played like that listen to the song , thanks!

[MrLazersharp]

idk why it too me so long to sub.

[ulriksj]

As I've mentioned so many times earlier, this is BRILLIANT. I just watched 2 videos a day, and learned it completely in 4 days. AWESOME.

[Rav0n]

Thank you so much for changing it in a way that still sounded true to the original. I learned alot. Now i can just look at the chords and listen to the song being played and figure out how to put it all satisfyingly together :D

[gorilol]

once again: very nice series.

thank u very much!

[mrgenius4]

easiest song ever . thumbs down

[rlemessurier]

Thanks, this was really great. I feel like a real guitarist now.

[LiamoR7]

Cheers Man , finally Got the whole song , might take a while te perfect but i'm delighted , thanks a million !

[BoppininBmore]

is there a video where he plays the whole song as 1 peice?

[gumball135]

Finally finished it. Might take me a few more days to polish it off and get it down perfectly, but I'm satisfied. Thank you very, very much.

[lcsmwiley]

Thanks Mike!

[adamkramer18]

Hey this was great. I am just wondering if you have a video of you putting the whole thing together, because I am a little confused on connecting the pieces of the song. Thanks!

[cherrysncream]

Where can I find the final video where you put it all together?

Thanks!

[johnmfox95]

thanks loads

[th3manonthem00n]

[xsoccer92x]

I am sure you get this alot, but hey why not one more time? THANKS SO MUCH! When i first heard this song i was mezmerized and wanted to learn it, I thought it would b impossible, but thanks to you and your lesson, i can play the song now!!!! THANK YOU! keep doing what you're doing, cause it's working! =]

[xgeceninrengix]

thanks for all.. just I can play classic gas :)

[LTFIREMIKE]

Mike, I've been struggling with my journey as a guitarist for two years and this is the first "lesson" I've ever tried. I can't begin to tell you how you've inspired me! I am beoming a full member to your site and can't wait to learn more great pieces. Thank you for your patient teaching style and please post the final "put it all together" part, if for no other reason than to enjoy your playing style in total. Thanks again!

[keegmoo]

so i have this song down finally

im searching for something similar to learn

any suggestions?

[TheAndyyyp]

Please post the last video. I know heaps of ppl have been asking but you still haven't submitted it.

[MrPearlGuitar]

Yo Mikey, nice lesson but where is the final Video?

[ericleestein]

This was a great series of lessons. I loved this instrumental since I was a kid and can't believe I'm learning it. Although I truly appreciate the incredible effort you made to teach it, I'm really distraught that you never put all the pieces together as you said you would. It would have been the icing on the cake of one of the best guitar tutorials on the web and would have helped me immensely!

[Amirnake]

Mike! I just wanted to say that thanks to you I now can play a piece I never thought I could. You have helped me so much, I do not know how to thank you enough. I just wanted to ask if you ever posted the complete version or not? I know all the 7 pieces but kinda can't put them all together so well, I'd apreciate it so much if you posted it. Thanks again Mike, :)

[deivel86]

Great instructions, thank you for making them avaliable.

I am farely new to the guitar and managed to play a decent classical gas without looking what my hands are doing in 3-4 weeks, following your videos and working with the tabs.

Being able to see how your hands are holding the string was really helpfull.

[tmandin]

thanks man

[Ballyhaunis87]

ur a legend mike. thanks alot

[rapho001]

thank you so much from germany... you are a good guitar teacher..

[dylankreid]

fantastic, thank you so much

[ChoochimusPrime]

thanks you so much!!!!

you've helped us learn one of the most greatest pieces of music!

everyone who is interested in guitar should learn this piece, you'll feel very accomplished once you finish it :]

[dainagolden]

thank you so much!

[KillerOfBlueberries]

Mike, you're video was FANTASTIC!

Thank you very much for these series of videos. I definitely learned this much faster than I would have if I only had the tabs.

[Fettincognito]

Hat einer von euch schonmal den service auf seiner Seite in anspruch genommen? ich wollte mich erkundigen ob das vertrauenswürdig ist.

[BoxDoc20]

Would you please re-add Classical Gas "The Whole Thing"? That video says that it has been removed. Thanks for the lessons. You are a very good teacher. thanks again.

[yokehuatgoh]

thanks for teaching classical gas with videos... probably quit if i were to try reading tabs or music sheets

[greasyspoon9]

Thanks alot for taking the time to piece this together! Help alot in learning it!

[Shogunnnnnnnnnnn]

Thanks alot it was awesome to learn it

[invictorium]

Is there a video where he plays it all? If so - where?

Thanks - great tutorials

[Linedanger]

Your patience has been great. Very difficult to put this together, especially as it has gradually changed slightly, over the years

Try a full A major instead of minor at the end. 6 stars

[bonecrusher303]

"Thanks again Mike"! I downloaded all 7 lessons into my cpu using the free Google Real

player video recorder, and after about 2 hours

worth of constantly going over your Tutorials

- I've managed to get everything you've shown

us as perfect as possible! After 40 years !

'Or thereabouts'! Thanks so, so much man! I've met many great guitarists during my travels who consider this Instrumental like the 'holy grail' of acoustic guitar-yet they couldn't play it! I Thankyou So Much!

MERRY XMAS!

[jeffguy85]

Many thanks for putting this song up, this is a true masterpiece and you made it quite easy to follow. I'll be looking for your DVD's. Thanks again!

[26414]

thanks, ur lessons have been awesome, (y) good job

[slingerjr]

many thanx!!!

it's wonderful when dreams become a reality

[aaron25731]

i cannot express how happpy i am to be able to play this now, its just wonderful how you taught us (there appears to thousands of us...) well done, thank you so much mike

[detunedradiok]

i just wanna say thanks a million man you're a real master

[RustyCyler]

thanks for taking the time to show everyone how to play CG. I'v gone through all 7 videos and just loved how you layed out the song. Well done. 5 stars.

[proflight2000]

Mike, you really are a total star, to spend so much time putting this out free as such to a huge audience is totally brilliant. Thank you very much indeed.

[bm2272]

Mike i ve been waiting and looking for someone for so long to teach me this and now i have it! Thank you sooooooo much!

[Jd1a]

Great video's, buy the DVD, it's worth it.

[jestopacio]

thank you so much for this video. now i know how to play classical gas. thanks a lot!

[elpolizei]

my master!! XD .. thank you very much

[mnq194]

thanks thanks for effort.

[dean30bb]

thanx man that was awsome i still gotta fix up a few things that i cant get but ya it was good thanx

[trizzizzle]

Wow! Mike, you are amazing! I cannot believe how quickly I have come along with this song. Truly excellent teaching! Thank you so much for posting these videos :)

[Yugobanian]

Guys these videos were fantastic the reason why "its not working" is because you have to PRACTICE you have to play it over and over and over until you get that nice sparky feeling inside you!

[celticD28]

Thanks for taking the time to lay this out so others can learn this song. Great job.

Sláinte

[AdaMtehMaN]

wow thats it?

awesome! ive learnt this whole peice in like 6 days (pretty much one a day) i always thought there was an ending different to the rest of the song..

and now....to perfect it :P

[OLDROCKER123]

jammy, you must be pretty good, been on lesson 1,2 & 3  week and just about winning. We done.

[BiReal]

buy the dvd.

[helisell]

Thanks BiReal....I think you have given them great advice ;0)

Mike

[ostmackasalt]

Doesnt work for me nither :(

[5060987]

i wanted to say that i learned the whole six lessons in two days ..its awesome

but this video is not working :(

am i the only one who noticed that?

[replika1]

Would be nice with some Tommy Emmanuel lessons for "Since we met" or "Those who wait", awsome songs!

Thanks for all your help!

[theparkourist]

Thank you so mutch! I love this piece

[gzaragoza]

Finally, after three months!! I did it, Classical Gas is the first song I've learned to play on guitar!!!!!

[Mange42]

Thanks so much for this. It was truly a great help!

[jonmedalla]

yes!!! i finally know how to play this awesome piece! all thanks to you! keep up the good work!

[Rydaholic]

Best educational lesson of classical gas, out of the seven :)

[flick35]

you have a very nice voice

[mexicangangster69]

hey these videos are great just curious though id finish the peice of instead of an Am i thought it went from Am to A major hamerin on the 7th

[walkindark]

Thanks

[Rushete2]

You are my hero.

[d0c70rw0rm]

It really is fantastic. With these videos it's almost as if I were sitting down with you for a lesson, the way you break it down into parts really helps. I love the reaction this song gets when you are in a room and you just pick up a guitar and start playing it :)

[rosemontpaschal]

I've had a little dialogue with Mike, and it turns out he's been burning the candle at both ends. A good friend of his has been going through some tough times health-wise, and he's doing what good friends do....taking care of his friend.

Good luck Mike.

[oposomx]

Wow, breaking the song into pieces and teaching each piece as you did is just awesome,

thank you very much man,

me and many others are looking forward for the next to come !

[pollotom]

This was fabuluous! How about one on Beatles Blackbird? This last progression sounded very close to something out of that pick.

You're right it took me about a month to get comfortable with this piece.

Thank you for your efforts!

[straddlecreek]

Well whad'ya know? it's here tonight ! I couldn't find it last night. Never mind last night's comment.

[straddlecreek]

Where is part six? just wondering.

[murjr]

So where is Mike?  Haven't heard anything from him for awhile.

[JavaMava]

Hey mike. Been with this set of videos form the begining. Thank you so much. After several years of trying your videos have finally helped me learn the entire song. Even though you haven't uploaded the full song being played yet, I was able to figure it out. This is such a satisfying song to play and always blows every one in the room away.

Thank you again mike.

[SlyderTheHedgehog]

When u gonna release 8th part, Mike?

[Colloportus655]

this is the last part I think.

[JarsCamp]

Mike, Look at how many people have been waiting for the last section. Yippee! I'm having fun now! Thanks. Still would like some Jars of Clay or Jeremy Camp. Jars has some good pickin'.

[FranGuerra]

Very Very Very nice, beautifull, wonderfull ... don't have words. Since I heard this song played by Eric Clapton I wanted to learn it and you can be sure I'm learning right now, so thank you so much. ¡¡Muchas gracias!!

[rosemontpaschal]

Mike, is there a video out there somewhere with you playing classical gas form start to finish?

[rosemontpaschal]

You had described a previous lesson as "satisfying," and no doubt, it was. But as far as I'm concerned, lesson 7 is the most satisfying so far. After playing it a few thousand times on my guitar, it's not only satisfying, but I'm amazed to see my hands playing it at that speed......I can't get over it!

[cfito1]

You have helped me a lot. Your are an excellent instructor who takes time to go note by note, and make it easy to understand. Can you do the same with "spanish romance"?

[andrenguyen12]

spanish romance? if u can play classical gas u can play spanish romance the tabs are very easy to understand too

[helisell]

Hi This is Helisell.

I'm in the process of making a video for Romance

[sissy304]

Excellent, Thanks

[shoulderoforion]

You are an amazing teacher! You really have a gift and what is even more phenomenal is that you are so generous with it. Thank you for this. You will influence and be remembered by many.

[acetech1]

Excellent, as usual. Very nicely done, Mike.

[tahtudo]

Hi, I'm brazilian and i'm really learning this song. Thank's so much.

[JavaMava]

Thank you very much for this Mike. I'm so glad you put up the next part. If it wasn't for you I'd probably never learn this song. Thank you again.

[guitarooo]

thank you very much

[bambangpamungkas]

well done mike, i will never learn this song without your vids... once again thanx.... thanx thanx thanx thanx thanx thanx

[toqeermehfooz]

hi mikey,what can i say after reading comments about u from all the other folks,just words r probably not enough for u,but i still have to use words by saynig,"terrific teacher,guitar master and an awesome person"thanks u so very much.

[yourfriendandmine]

as always you are the best , you have what it takes to be a very good instructor which you are , a good teacher

[gsdlova]

Awesome job... i've been slowly learning this song for over a year- when i found your video's in June. Your an amazing teacher. Can't wait to see what your next lesson after classical gas.

[FearedBliss]

Alright thanks man.

[Jerne77]

Lesson 7 WOW! I really can't get enough of this song. Great job Mike, I can't wait till you put it all together on the final video and I can 100% play along with you on the video. You're the master teacher Mike, thank you!

[sanderwitte]

Good onya Mike, Terrific stuff, thanks a million.

[murjr]

I've seen (and bought) a lot of guitar instruction videos; this is by far the best. Thanks for all your hard work, Mike.

[atgblue1]

Thanks Mike, I have wanted to learn this song for a logn time, you have reawakened my love of guitar. I owe you everything. Thanks mate.

[gggatita]

As always a brilliant lesson. Easy to understand and so nicely done.

[markofzb]

Thank you, please continue with these great video lessons !!

[pipann]

[ksvance]

[mickeh82]

Thank you Mike, You make the best videos

You are "the" man Mike.

[theboyofnorway]

you are the king

[thabeldee]

cheers mike ive been wantin to learn this for a long time..this is great.

[batmanisme1011]

all hail mike

god of the guitar.

[clintcomer]

Mike, I am 57 years old and have always wanted to be capable of playing this. Tried on my own but always failed. Your videos have made it possible. I can't thank you enough for your time, consideration, and contributions. I can't wait for the final full version. Thanks you again.

[2ifbyCsharp]

Mike,

Being an ol' fart from the 'colonies' I must thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have the BEST teaching/video techniques that I've observed. Being 60 y.o., one of my goals in life is to learn CG. You have provided the info to aid me in playing this 'classic'

I await your grand finale and have enjoyed your site. I'll gladly $upport your $ite due to your generosity!

[DontLickLarry]

Excellent, really first class lessons. Thank you.

[magicnut21]

Mike I would like to thank you sincerely for the lessons. I have awaited each with baited breath and as soon as I figure out how on earth I can put it down on vid' I will put it on youtube and prove that your method works.(I think Iv'e done pretty well to say I couldn't play a single chord before-hand).

Thanks again mate, very generous. Peace.

Simon from LEEDS

[TrueMusou]

HORRAH!!!! MIKE HERBERT PREVAILS!!! REJOICE CLASSICAL GASSER!!! Looking forward to your next set of lessons Mike.

[yorkiefamily]

brilliant beautiful piece you make it look so easy anyway i am going to buy a guitar very soon

[BluesDoctor]

Hey Mike, what a delight to see the final bits of this great series of lessons on Classical Gas. You demystified this wonderful acoustic guitar piece for many of us who would not have attempted it wihtout your help. Very best wishes to you and yours and hoping you get back at leasat some small measure of the gift you have shared with us.

[Treytruk]

Thanks so much! Your lessons have been invaluable to me! Thank goodness I have my callouses back on my fingers with all the practice I have been doing....it was ouchy when I started out! THANKS AGAIN! YOU ROCK!

[malcsegovia]

thanks mike

[eleos121]

Finally, I was looking forward to it, thank you. Now I will have to practise it and put it all together :).
