Guitar Lesson - Homeward Bound - Simon & Garfunkel

[mssinatra]

That guitar is beast!

Your videos rock, by the way! :D

[Ibragallthetime]

please stop.

[biavat1]

Thank you my good friend, for your help to understand certain parts of the song, it helped me a lot. I am guitarist here in Brazil and had doubts as to play the fingerstyle. Again thank you. God bless you.

Peace, Light and Sound

P. S. Your guitar is really cool

[AlsoKnownAsYou]

Any chance of getting an explanation of the more advanced finger style pattern? I'd love to learn it. :)

[BartMesmanguitar]

You are my hero! :o I searched the internet a whole night for the chords for this song and thought, maybe there is a smart guitarplayer who knows the chords and got em in a lesson. And I found YOU! :)  (Y) Many Thanks!

[baishalisharmah]

u got your name wrong..it shouldn't be gold hat..it should be GOLD HEART!

i love you :)

[eSalveson1]

That is an awesome guitar!

[1onlyphil]

Great job Mark... I can't fingerpick, but you have given me something to work with. and seriously, I can't fingerpick! tried for years.... Thanks again, you play wonderfully

[teers80]

I decided to learn this song today but after seeing your version I give up. I will never be able to play it as good as you,

[ohvnaq]

your videos are awesome!

during the chorus it sounds more like (G)home where my (F)thoughts (C)es(F)cap(C)ping to me, which is along the line of the intro (paul simon plays something almost the same as the intro for the chorus i think)

in my opinion playing the Am and Em softens it down a bit too much

[LindaWhosHarriet]

Thanks. I love your style. Nice sound, nice voice. You spell it out, then show it, but it's not too long and drawn out. You get down to it!

[paulbraz2]

Mark, you've been a great inspiration to me. You seem to have so much fun with playing. You're one of the guys that got me playing again. Thanks...

[napalm5]

how do you do the F#/D at 6:28 ?

[melophobe]

i really like your wall paper :-)

[guyglowmore1]

you give good lessons. thanx for the fine generosity. ive been playing about 40 yrs and had to learn the hard way. if i'd a had your lessons back then i'd have soared

[GiveMeYourLovin]

a poet and a one man band....thanks kind sir.

[zerovacca]

that is the greatest guitar i've ever seen!

[hpsharpie]

Mark- you did a beautiful job on this great song. I have to come back to polish it every now and then. thank you again.

[grumpshack]

your playing sounds better than the original... great job!!!

[theBeatles235]

thanks a million

i learn so much from u

[phototecglobal]

Your the man! I thank you so much! 10**********S

[Wmhohenzollern]

Ooops. As I think about it, it isn't a regular D chord but on played in C position at the third fret. here is the fingering. 6th string un-played, 5th string 5th fret, 4th string 4th fret, 3rd string open, 2nd string 3rd fret, 1st string open.

I hope that helps. :)

[Wmhohenzollern]

Just a suggestion. On the part of the verse that goes, for a poet and a one man band. On the word poet there is a D chord. I am pretty sure Paul plays it there and at that same spot in the other verses. Try it and see if it works for you. Other than that this is another great tutorial!!!!

[JERRYR708]

Favorite!!

[rickdav79]

wonderful song ..great lesson!

[dealer205]

Great lesson and fantastic quality video and sound.

[mjd0124]

Thank you very much , sir.

[TotallyCrazy2008]

I really can't take my eyes off that guitar, it's so amazing! Just wanted to say that I love your tutorials, I'm finally able to play my favourite S&G songs :) Greetings from Germany!

[tweedtai]

hahahaha. i just discovered you and you've shown me two classics in an hour. absolute legend. you're lucky i don't live near you, i'd bug you all the time. if you're ever in britain, let me know lol

[goldhat3]

Yep, I would like to take a UK tour someday. You can subscribe on my website to get my newsletter to see when I am coming over.

[MoonwalkerPJ]

Very elegantly done & great sound! - fuzzy soul tiger, Mr. PJ

[FiremanOly]

before I ever heard you play I saw the video on the making of that incredible guitar you are holding and playing so beautifully. You do it justice Mark. Another gem from you!

[goldhat3]

Hey FiremanOly, thanks for dropping by. This guitar sounds even better in person, Something amazing has happened to it since Davide made it a masterpiece, it seems to sound better each time I play it.

[n15h3r5]

Your the best Golghat. Always the best tutorials. Please do one for Kathy's Song, when you have a moment.

[reystevens]

Kind regards walbuzz

[richmcomedy]

Great Job, Thanks

Noticed a new guitar??

[goldhat3]

You can find the story of that guitar on my channel.

[walkerj69]

Very Nice.

Well Done and keep them coming.

[ringscape]

Simply EXCELLENT :) Thanks for the lesson & regards from Palma de Mallorca (Spain). :)

[goldhat3]

Nice place you are living. How long does it take to go by Ferry boat from Valencia to Palma de Mallorca? What is the cost? I may have a chance to visit there soon.

[Thalariskor]

I have to say, the version of Homeward Bound you outline here is far better than any of the others I've seen around. I look forward to learning this! Thanks for another great video.

[goldhat3]

Thanks for your kind comments.

[amazongift]

you know Mark, It really is a pleasure to visit here and learn, your so good at what you do. keep doing what you do because I really enjoy what your teaching my friend...all the best.... Mel

[goldhat3]

Hi Mel, I appreciate you saying so. Any time I can add something to somebody's song list I am happy.

[sunntann]

hi you are the best..thank you for all you do...where do you get your fingerpicks..they look like the are all plastic..i dont like my metal ones

[goldhat3]

Yep I use plastic fingerpics. You can get them on any music store website or music store that sells guitars.

[JEkongz]

gold hat--you are a blessing... I just can't imagine how you'd picked to play just about all my favorite songs. I am a fan of music played during the 70s, and I frequent a local bar that play such music. I am excited about learning your simple to follow and good sounding versions of those songs.

Greetings bro--from the Philippines!!!!

[goldhat3]

Greetings back to you in the Phillippines. I hope I can visit there one day. I have enjoyed many Phillipino cover bands playing this type of music during my travels in Asia.

[ShelterDogs]

I coulda sworn I heard Goldhat's voice on the radio the other day.

[goldhat3]

You did? Well, that would be nice. The only time I was on the radio was on our local 100 watt neighborhood channel.

[Edmond137]

Playing Guitar for many years, but never very good till I found you, thank you for making me sound like a guitarist

[goldhat3]

Glad to have you as a student.

[bennystropical]

[winston1234]

Great fingerpicking. I couldn't imagine doing that with all 5 fingers picking. Such a great song.
