I like how you teach. Thanks for the lesson.

[DocPRSBlues]

I greatly appreciate your teaching style and your willingness to share the music. Be well.

[interpim]

I've been trying to play guitar for the past year or two on and off, and I really have only taught myself a few basic chords... I've watched a few of your videos, and I am sure if I practice a bit I'll have these songs down. It's great that you are putting these vids on youtube, thanks for what your doing.

@SkillasOwn

petit monsieur ! his accent is very very good ! he's french so "camembert"

[pogicory]

Great lesson for a guy like me who has hardly ever picked up a guitar before. I was able to play right along with you up until you starting picking it. Thanks for the awesome lesson!

[XJASB]

Hi dude!!

Nice lesson,thanks a lot.

[mpm111144]

You...you're good you! :D)

[SupermarketGiant]

I feel like there should be a Dm mixed in there

[TiANr0ckst4r]

@SupermarketGiant yes there is exactly when it says ''moment'' :)

[ronatholl]

[edzepellin]

Best free guitar instruction online. Thank you.

[HighlandKnight]

Thank you for all the help! Much appreciated! Anyone who doesn't like it, why are they watching and wasting their time with stupid comments? Anyway, thanks again!

[skadooshcovers]

thanks helped me alot

[bjdent100]

I think your video is great, but I'm not sure I have the picking pattern correct. I can't seem to get it quite right, it doesn't sound like yours. I have (listing strings "picked" only), 2,5,4,6 then 1,5,4,6 then there is an addtion that you show and I thought it was 6,5,4,6, played after I completed the 2 I just listed (above) Can you list it out for me. Thanks!

[patrickikis]

@SkillasOwn

Yeah, man! Fuck you! This guy is awesome. Intolerant jerk! Mojo, you are teaching me so much! I am not taking lessons, and you have taught me so much!

[BenjaminPaulWoodham]

Some people use C, Csund, and C2, (not neccesarily in that order) and A minor, Asus, A2, instead of a G chord, but this sounds just as good.

[rudagar1977]

man I love your stuff, nice to start a new song this way, I play this one with about 10 diff chords, but I love how you can play it without the others. Check out my vids, i am just learning.

[MildonLanhorn]

you didnt teach the intro part. where it starts with a C chord and you have to change the fingering slightly. i havnt been able to get the intro perfectly and i wondered if you could post a video of it please. it would be greatly appriciated

[Wildflowerr]

I just bought my first electric acoustic guitar and the first song I wanted to learn was dust in the wind. Thanks for the video's they are really helpful and your easy to understand. I'm always up for a good challenge. Next will be sweet home alabama. Take care

[OoOMidnaOoO]

[masterkv1477]

tghanks for all the help dude, you rock!! keep the vids coming!!

[skykiller31]

is there a guitar pick version

[XRateD308]

It's very hard to do the picking with a guitar pick. So then u might use the chords

[Neal5189]

I play it with a Dm chord somewhere in there.

[nick00580]

i luv 5:00 to 5:25.

[mac163]

Finally a video lesson that i can learn from! its like your teaching me in person, you rule brother! greeting from argentina.

[martinniven]

These vids are a great help.....keep them coming. thanks

[HLGMostWanted]

[Dawid21391]

I was wondering if you can teach the song Big Rock Candy Mountain

[clongo54]

People who are getting a free guitar lesson should learn to be a little more gracious!!!!

[terrorforce007]

nicely spoken ;)

[benj6662]

hmmm own'd

[22AlabamaFootball]

@clongo54 yeah seriously yall need to stop being fucking assholes to a guy who is just trying to help you out. and it doesnt matter how you talk if you kick ass at guitar. nice work man

[PadaINbelgium]

I love it!

Nice singing xD.

Keep up the good work!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Sorry pal, but "i fucking had you accent!!!" means nothing... get it right ;)

[cmacmuiris]

@ThreeChordGuitar he had your accent......and then he lost it! That's why he is upset

[joemc741]

Could you do some Pink Floyd?

[js897]

just to let everyone know, the part where he sings "only for a moment" you dont stay on a G chord, right when he sings MOMENT you play a D minor then go to the A minor. that will song much better.

[Zerot007]

you play gOOd bOdy!!!

thanks!

[hengyi007]

great,no doubt.

but sincerely hope someone can put some illutions on the video(listening+watching,sound­s+pictures),it'll be perfect!

[insfrag]

Woah, I really like the way you explain, it's awesome, thank you for sharing!

[mikechi85]

ur the shit man!

[Dawid21391]

Hey dude can you show me the strumming pattern, and when to switch chords.

[parisindy]

OMG i can't believe thats only three chords!!

thank you thank you thank you

so much for this!

[hcmcemtiv]

Once again, you have made learning very easy and are an awesome teacher! Thanks man for your care and compassion for the music! Peace my friend!

[LollirotAngel]

It's not often I am attracted to basic Guitar and Vocals. Most people who attempt it, aren't very good. But I literally stopped blinking and just was in awe like stare listening to you.

[newschatter]

gr8 vid man

but sorry ididnt get anything out of it

6th string is the low E first and the fingers are not in their correct picking positions either so its so much confusing for me..

[micahagler]

could you go over the strumming pattern a little?

[TertiusOculusOris]

Great teacher.

[EAASteam]

you sing it better then the actual song man write an album coz i would buy it

[naslund119]

when ur picking it its easier to think of the song in 8/4. helps me alot

[hjolinn]

tyvm nice

[vgyhnjil]

after wacthing it for like 15 time i still don get it, the way the fingerpicking goes.

2546 (then change chord?)

1546

2546

1546 & now what?

[daredevil6665]

Fantastic teacher, Very good, thanks.

[pithor]

Bookmarked. Favorite!

This is very good instruction.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks :)

[LoSerSk8r182]

thanks for the chords... i was looking for the chords :)

[robertdeuce]

so the picking for this is the same as wonderful tonight? also i just have to say that u are probably the best teacher i have ever seen,,,even though ive only seen a few on youtube,, i just started playing guitar and thank god i came across your videos.

thanks a million!!

[az3r64]

My favourite guitar teacher !

hey Mojo that's again the little basque that already left you a comment for the more than words lesson. You've been lazy again ? I'd like to see your acoustic guitar ^^

Anyway, first time i've heard this music it was played in song from Mago de Oz, called pensando en ti. Always wanted to know the original song and know how to play it. Thanx to you it's done.

Thanks ! Milesker ! like i'd say at home.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Well, I have been working a lot of hours lately... so I guess I have been lazy in terms of videos, although I did add three new ones last week :)

[az3r64]

i was talking 'bout the fact you're playing an acoustic song on your tele. where's your folk guitar man ? Upstair, like last time for "more than words" ?

Anyway it's good job you do, I like your vids.

by the way your site is good too ! And I like your guitar collection ! Shame there isn't a steinberger like the one I got though...

:) Thanx for the vids !

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Ha ha :) What can I say, I am a Tele guy! I don't play a lot of acoustic guitar. I have a couple, but they see about 5% of all my playing time. Combined.

Thanks for the kind words!

[bjbfly]

The hardest thing for me to learn in songs is when to strum up and down or half strum. What is the best way to learn this. Is it by ear? when I watch video it is hard to see sometimes. Any hints for a 40 yr old beginner would be appreciated.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

I listen to the song and to the lyrics, from a phonetic stand point to take my cue. I figure out a generic strummin gpattern from there, and then I let the song dictate it as I play... it's a hard concept at first, but it comes to ya after a while :)

[bjbfly]

I am a beginner and the hardest thing for me in strumming is learning when to strum down or up or change it. What is the best way to learn that or is it learned by ear?

[LedZepplinOwnz]

Awesome job ive been looking everywhere for this lesson(a full lesson anyways) thx alot

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Glad to be of help :)

[DidUCThat2]

That guitar is awesome. What is it? I want it.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

It is a Crook T-style... visit Crook Custom Guitars and tell Bill Mojocaster says hi :)

[kemoa427]

thank you!

your vids are like the only ones I can understand :)

you have a great sense of humor in most of your vids too :)

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks! When you play as I play, a sense of humor comes in handy ;)

[Bo0ja]

i enjoyed the singing, good lesson too

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thank you :)

[jpgathman]

I just found your videos - thanks much for your work. Much appreciated.

Don't listen to the hosebags. Your singing is just fine. There always are some dorks who have to try to make fun of anything that anybody posts here.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks for the kind and supporting words :)

[DRGILBEE]

nice just don't sing.good job

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks... I guess :D

[Mojorizzin]

[G0st]

[ThreeChordGuitar]

I only agree that I have an accent when a Hot Chick tells me I do and that she thinks it's sexy ;)

[ryanmichael95]

That's a nice Tele man.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks :)

[ThreeChordGuitar]

English is my third language.. what's yours? :)

[hcb1431]

you sings great!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks :)

[GrunchGreezly]

amazing singing )

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Thanks :)

[gwengoad]

Chet Atkins did an example of three cords and how you can play most popular songs knowing these! Great concept, to get over the hump and start having some fun as soon as you learn three cords lord knows how hard the first few are! your good at explaining what you are doing and slowing it down helps! Peace to you and yours! keep on rockin!

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Ah, the great Chet Atkins... RIP. Man, I miss him.

[gwengoad]

Grandama is still watching and listening! you spread her understanding all over the world Peace!

[cosmo1pug]

It does look like you made it up as you went along. It isn't the same as the sheet music or is it?

[ThreeChordGuitar]

It is a simplified version since that is the aim of the site in the first place... thanks for the comment.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Merci :)

[BloodMan14]

you wasted my time dude you suck playing Dust in the wind original man

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Sorry you didn't like it and felt the need to be rude about it...

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Yup...

[wa8ars]

Not sure I have the finger picking down correct...is it:

G  1-546, 2-546

Am 2-546, 2-546

C 2-546, 2-546

Thanks for the Vid, like the concept

[ThreeChordGuitar]

I don't have a guitar with me, but that sounds right...

[wa8ars]

trying to figure out the picking

G 1-546 2-546

AM 2-546 3-546

C 2-546 2-546

am i close??

Great video, love this way to learn

[ThreeChordGuitar]

My pleasure :)

[ThreeChordGuitar]

:)

If you can't entertain them with the guitar, you gotta crack a couple of jokes ;)

[PDP6]

I don't play guitar, but I just picked up an old acoustic, ran a mic into my computer to tune it in (I do play computers heh), found this tutorial - which is far better than all the others, now after about an hour I can play the verse's (slow) love it, great work, can't wait to get the whole thing nailed :D

[ThreeChordGuitar]

Fantastic! Keep up the great work!

[hsl23]
