I Don't Want To Set the World on Fire Lesson1

[chrisrustsheffield]

So there I was singing this song to myself, which made me think that it was time to get my guitar out after more than 20 years and in a couple of moves I find you playing and teaching exactly the kind of guitar style which I have always wanted to play but have never applied myself to...up till now.

Big hug

Thank you so much for this, I was trying to figure out that damn Abdim7 passing chord for an hour yesterday.

[aynrandy1]

Wow, that was a great lesson, thanks!

And I love that background wall thing with the glass.

It makes me feel good just looking at it.

[guitaress1]

@aynrandy1 HI Thanks, that backdrop is a batik quilt top that I made, I use it to hide my books and music clutter

[ZeroStarCraft]

:) Thank you for the tutorials. I look forward on learning this song!

[iNeRveDaMage]

After the intro, the C7 is giving me a lot of trouble. Help anyone? i cant seem to get my fingers positioned right. im using my pinkie on the lowest string going up using each finger. but when i play it, it doesnt sound the same as yours!

[iNeRveDaMage]

Love the video, but I dom't know a lot of these cords. I'm learning guitar right now and I dont have a clue about what your talking about. Can you send me the tabs or make another video of the tabs? Thanks

[auntygomez]

Amazing isnt it, my dad foced me to know the notes of the bass,he wrote them on the back of my bass when i was 15/16 I know them all now,guitar notes and all,and yet im still amazed that some of my friends that have been playing longer cant give me a c# note when I ask them ??? and even a c major scale??? and or a minor scale?? or dont kno how to turn the 3rd to minor to major? to me its basic guitar skills,instad of standing in the mirror pretending,i knuckled down and leart the basics

[DanGlennMusic]

Great inset tabs!! You're a gift to Youtube-and-by-extension-the-w­orld. :)

[ChilledLemons]

Thanks mom!

[EnSvettFot]

what kind of genre of music is this song? my grandfather leaned me a few jams on guitar which consists of chords like F, C7, D7, Gm, F and sometimes up to an F7 and a Bb, which is something around this song as well.

[rocknrollfanatic96]

lol I'm an amateur and most of this is greek to me. I just wanted to be able to play it to my Fallout loving friends.

[ElJucifer]

aw man this is amazing! love this song and this has just improved my guitar playing in general. thanks!

[JackieGT7]

[sj122s]

[Spotopus]

Thank you for your efforts I've been wanting to learn the Ink Spots since my University days...

[welhungjohnson]

This is great! You are a good teacher. Move a little too fast though between subjects. Good though!

[Frenk78rpm]

Very Freddie Greenish! You like to play two strings with one finger?(the way you play F!) I do the same!

[dealer205]

[guitaress1]

Wow, you've got good eyes (in addition to good ears) It does have Mt. Fuji, and little floating patchwork quilts :-)

Let me know when we can meet at the antique mart now that it's warm!

[classican]

Great lesson!!!!

[Stevepat1]

When I first Started playing guitar I used to listen to the Ink Spots all the time and tried to learn the intros but could never get them right. I had no idea he played a 4string guitar. Tenors are tuned CGDA. Great lesson!

[Stevepat1]

I just wanted to add, if it was a plectrum guitar it would have been tuned CGBD. Plectrums sound mellower than the Tenor tuning because of the longer scale.

[guitaress1]

Thanks for that info. I guess they're tuned like banjos then. I really love those 4 strings. Eddie Condon played one also. Most of the time we're only playing 4 voices (if that many!) anyways in swing comping. If I had more time or energy that wasn't already spread too far I'd learn one of those 4 string instruments--especially if you can have a low C!

[FreedomXSlave]

Awesome instruction video. Thanks for taking the time to do this, helped me out with a couple of the chords I was struggling with. Love the background too! As always great playing and great voice.

[guitaress1]

There's another part or two coming... I'm working on now...
