While my guitar gently weeps Guitar Lesson by Siggi Mertens

[siggisongs1]

I´ve been playin for some 40 years now and hope you can imagine that it isn´t that easy to imagine being someone maybe playing for two years. To go that level and trying to find out the speed of his/her speed of learning is something that i can only guess . . . .

[sukhmeet98]

i think slow down a little bit sir,tab this beautiful song out and just post it.that's it.that's all we want,thumbs up if you want that instead of him talking and telling every step.(which he apparently does too fast anyway)

[Moodo1]

@sukhmeet98 I think you need more practice and more patience. I´ve been playing for little two years and I have no trouble following Siggis lead. Watch the chords and try to work the melody out for yourself on the parts where you don´t quite follow, you´ll learn a lot...

[davec3487]

People, you are getting a free lesson from a talentend guitarist and a nice guy to boot. Show some appreciation.

[turing195858]

terrible lesson ! first only the melody line is shown, than some extra chords appear . really bad teaching.

[sho5621]

@turing195858 Maybe you should ask for a refund.

[darktrek]

@turing195858 seriusly? Oo hahaha

[medvedthe1st]

Great job, really great. Best version i've seen so far. That's why please, tab it out. Will be twice as simple to learn.

[sstann56]

Thanks Siggi !

[baadshepherd]

I've been practicing your version for months off and on, and I still can't get the fluidity that you strum and pick the melody notes out, you sound amazing. I truly appreciate your tutorial here, thank you so much.

[27359]

vid explains everything, great job mate

[SevenScreamingSnakes]

can you post the god damn chords

[777Gerard777]

@SevenScreamingSnakes

If you do not know the chords, than dont even try to play it .Just pick up a good book or website and start learning the "god dam'n chords" first. Then come back and see Siggi is a great teacher!

Well done and very nice lesson and song Siggi!!

[SevenScreamingSnakes]

I think you should explain better.

[SevenScreamingSnakes]

[Anksire]

Love your style

[kaisariani]

great beatles tune siggi

[Rober77777777]

the zame zing...hahaha

Great siggi¡

[NTeC1]

4:30 You say open b string put you have a finger on it already so its not open. Im really trying hard to learn this but I get so confused

[mrkopsho]

@NTeC1 when giving a lesson it is very hard to say all he right fingerings and keep track of where you are at w fingering and where you are going next all at the same time. It was a mistake and you did a very good job catching it. If you notice almost anyone giving lessons will say one thing but do another every now and again. Play it. If it doesnt sound right one way,try it open or hit a note near it until you have the right sound. Siggi is an awesome instructor. He will make mistakes though

[NTeC1]

Awesome playing! But why have you reversed the strings. When you say A string you pluck the G string. Am I missing something here?

[baadshepherd]

@NTeC1 -A- note on the G string.

[namus974]

Beautiful and great lesson !

[peter13135]

tabs are avaliable ?

[M55ikael]

You should remember to explain how you mute the unwanted strings. And it would be helpful if you explain which chords are played so people can understand why they mute the strings and maybe transpose themselves.

[Rongunners10]

Great lesson Siggi thanks again.

[metzi12]

Ich liebe dieses Lied :D

Danke fürs Lessong

[saadileo88]

Hey Siggi!

Nice lesson...but can you do a video to explain the very basics of the chord-melody style and suggest simple exercises to master this art?

[mujatheboy]

@saadileo88 i Guess i can answer that , i started 5 months back , most of my guitaring inspiration comes from this man you see above playing !. thanks Siggi !, back to your q'tion i too found it difficult to do the chord melody style, wat i did was to start it realy slow with one stroke down on the desired chord and then do the melody ,

[mujatheboy]

@saadileo88 i did one line at a time, made sure it sounded good then move on , it took me 3 weeks to do the 500 minles away which was my inspiration to do this style, I hope have answered the question !!Keep it coming !!..

[ROCSTA13]

love that song

and your lesson is awesome....as usual!

Thanks!

[moneyquickeasy]

I hate doing the finger/pick technique ... and I hate using my thumb as a fretting finger. But still, really nice job on teaching and playing.

[Galenalicia11]

You make it look so easy brody
