[MoreThanGuitar]

@junno111 Working on it; going to tan a couple days next week before shooting in Grand Cayman. Oh, the untold suffering I endure for the sake of my students! Got an island fav you'd like to learn?

[MrDalex1967]

thanks very much you made it simple and showed it all clearly.

[MoreThanGuitar]

@MrDalex1967 Stay tuned, there's more to come! Have you checked out the MoreThanGuitar website?

[Nightstrummer]

great job playing the guitar and singing along that was fun!

[MoreThanGuitar]

@Nightstrummer Why thank you! That was a fun one to make.

[nemmers]

Awesome! Love your teaching style...perfect for a beginner like me. Love to see how you play some Zac Brown. Toes, Knee Deep, Chicken Fried, etc. At any rate, thank you! Looking forward to watching some more.

[MoreThanGuitar]

@nemmers Wow thanks! You flatter me. I have a lesson for Where the Boat Leaves From by Zak Brown on the website; More Than Guitar dot com (You Tube doesn't like links in comments for some reason). Go to the home page a sign up for the free 14 day trial so you can access the whole site. Use nemers as your login and I'll give you a month for being so nice.

Thank you for this lesson :) I've just started playing, and in class we were learning this song and I wanted to see if I could get it, I have a hard time changing chords, and my hands are uncomfortable in the D chord, but this did help me practice, thank you :)

[SuperMilkeyway]

Awesome lesson! That was surprisingly easy. Do u think you could teach us Feels food to be me by uncle cracker. Btw u sound like johnny cash when u talk and u have a great voice

[MoreThanGuitar]

@SuperMilkeyway Never played it before. I'll give it a look. You want an acoustic version?

[SuperMilkeyway]

[SuperMilkeyway]

Thank you so much for this great lesson. I JUST started playing guitar. This is the first song I want to learn. Your Margaritaville lesson is the BEST by a mile! Thanks for showing the intro, chords and the strum pattern! Most people don't explain those things and it makes all the difference. I can't wait to play it. Thanks again and Fins up!!!

[Simas120kmh]

Hey Mr Morethanguitar great lesson but i still have a question, i know u gave us the strumming pattern but i just wanted to make sure im doin it right its (D chord) DUDUDUDU (G chord) DUDUDUDU (A chord) DUDUDUDU and than (D chord) again and so on ? thank you

[iRockfan178]

Woah!!! You explained it awesome!!! Thanks man!

[sourdoughman1]

Awsome, thanks for the into!

[stuco]

Excellent instruction, this is definately one of the easiest songs to learn on guitar once shown properly like in this vid. Thanks

[dogwagen]

This is by far the best video for learning Margaritaville on youtube, I am just getting back into playing guitar and you make learning fun for this song the intro still gets me on the timing but I am learning . Possibly another Jimmy tune say like Lovely Cruise would be another great one. Thanks man .

[flmusik000]

We were taught this in class 2 months ago. I can now do the intro and a strum pattern, no palm mute yet.

The next problem is how to change chords and keep the strum pattern. Thanks

[MoreThanGuitar]

@flmusik000

Change chords early. It takes all of us time to move our hand. Starting out, it takes every one a little longer. You can maintain the steady beat of the song by giving yourself a beat, or even two at the end of a measure so that your fingers are in place for the next chord one the "one" .

Watch my new video about palm mute and let me know if that helps.

[TheGuitarFlame]

nice guitar

[point5chink]

By far the best margaritaville lesson on youtube...thanks!

[MoreThanGuitar]

@point5chink You flatter me! Generous as you are, will you check out my other lessons? Maybe suggest another song you's like to learn? Can't guarantee such a nice location but I'll do my best.

[nickg130]

This is quite possibly the best guitar lesson ever.

[delinquentx]

I've been looking fucking EVERYWHERE to learn a good strumming pattern for Margaritaville. Thank you for this tutorial!
