As a beginner it's great to have a tutorial this good; you have put a great song and great guitar part within reach of a novice player. With so many teachers in print still trading on Tom Doley and the like, I think if you put a book or web course out it would be hugely popular, and deservedly so. So thanks a bunch Thumbpicker! The only thing I would like is a tab to make it even clearer. But even without that, this is the best and most fun learning piece I know of.

[thumbpickr1812]

thanx - I am preparing a tutor book right now and it will contain tabs! - it will be available via my website - you can find the address on my channel profile - good luck with your playing

[GilhamBob]

That's good news. I'll buy it for sure.

I have a bookshop - I sell used, out of print and collectable as well as new local history titles - I'd be delighted to stock your book when it's out...

[thumbpickr1812]

I'll let you know when it's out - should be a about a month's time - thanks for the support

[Triplesod]

Nice one mate! Very good tuition!

May I please make one recommendation?

It is always great to start the video off with the full song and also end with the song. That was it is always very clear in the students mind when the come to learn and also, if they get slightly confused while learning a bar or phrase, it is extremely handy to be able to quickly zip to the start of the vid and hear the song in its totality.

I would highly recommend considering this for your next vid. otherwise [cont..]

[Triplesod]

Otherwise and disregarding the dodgy edits ;-) this is a great tutorial and I thank you for it. Though I already play this song, I will be subscribing in anticipation of your next video.

All the best

H

P.s. You have a great voice for teaching!

[thumbpickr1812]

many thanks for the helpful and supportive comments - hopefully the next one (if there is a next!) will benefit from your suggestions - cheers!

[thumbpickr1812]

glad it helped - good luck with your playing
