I love, love this!!! Preparing to sing this i and play the guitar at a Vegas morning show. I've always played it my own way which is not so good. LOL!!
With your perfect instructions, you might have just changed the course of events i.e. I'll perform this song better!! Thanks!!!
Thank you for all your help!! I will work on your suggestion. So appreciate your help...... Your video lessons are so easy to follow.... as a teacher that is a critical to help with understanding.......
Your lesson made is so easy to pick up the verse, but my limited knowledge leaves me struggling to find the D/F# chord recommended for the refrain. My chord book's version does not sound correct, any suggestions or recording of the chord I would so welcome....... Thank you for your time and help.
@Heartsong62 It's a D chord with an F# at the second fret of string six. You can grab the F# with your thumb, or lift your middle finger off the first string (since you're not going to use that string anyway) and move it to where you index is, and then move the index to the F# on string six.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this detailed lesson. It was just what I was looking for! So much appreciate your time and help. May you show the chorus sometime, for I hear the chord change and am not sure how to proceed. Any help would be genuinely appreciated.
@thehiddenxXx99 This song was written, recorded and released while Stevie Nicks was a member of Fleetwood Mac. It was first featured on the band's 1975 album Fleetwood Mac. It was released as a single 23 years later from the live reunion album The Dance.
Great tutorial! I myself don't have a capo, but you can make one really easily by tying two ends of a pencil with a rubber band over the desired fret, it actually works pretty well.
Im not a pro but someone already messed me up once with improper fingering. I think proper PIMA should always be taught now that I am playing a lot of fingering songs. It made me develop a bad habit of not using the proper finger for the proper strings. Just a noob's opinion.
i can play all of the chords, but everytime i try playing the song and switching between all of the chords, the last note is wrong because i cant switch any faster than that, so its either wrong, or it buzzes ...
please help this is driving me nuts i just want to play the song ...
Well explained with clear instruction on fingering patterns for both hands.
BTW, why not just do p-i-p-m-p-i-p-(m) (as supposed to p-i-p-i...)? Wouldn't take all that much effort to use that middle finger on the right hand, not to mention that would make learning other arpeggio patterns easier with that middle finger trained.
Well guys, you just have to stick with it if you dont want to be a "One-pick-wonder". Practice playing slowly and the speed will come. The important thing is to keep it smooth.
Learning dust in the wind has made learning this song harder :[. Alot of the same chrods but different picking style, and I keep switching to the ohter picking..
I play it different too - i use a double stop at the beginning of the first and third bars and only use the bass note of each chord once per chord change? maybe this is the pumpkins way of playing it. It sounds good anyway.
I've been through so many videos to try and figure out this song, and this is the ONLY one, that gave me clear examples with not too much information! I can see where your fingers are and you don't move too quickly which is awesome!
just a tip for everyone learning this song: if you manage to learn this song, try learning dust in the wind by kansas. it's kind of like a next step in finger picking once you learned this one, its pretty similar!
wow, my mo loves fleetwood mac, mc fleetwood even talked to her once during like a drummer convention or something. This will really impress my mom, thnx :D
Is there one standard way of playing scales? Each time I look up the a minor or major pentatonic scale I always find different ways of playing it. IS there one standard or is it all just interpretation?
There are two types of scale patterns that are used most of the time. They are the pentatonic and major scale patterns. The notes of a scale cover the whole fretboard and can be broken up in more than one way. But they're all still the same notes. You're probably just seeing variations. Just pick some patterns and start putting them to use. See my book Fretboard Theory for more detailed instruction.
I am a beginner as far as finger picking is concerned. However, I've developed a fair amount of digital dexterity over the last couple of months. Hell, I'm buffing the nails on my picking fingers as I type this... well just before I typed it in any event.
Thanks for the tutorial, terrific! I can play it better with my index & middle finger better than thumb & index. Is this a bad way of learning? Just don't want to create an unbreakable bad habit in the long run... Thanks.
very very good! i saw some videos before this wich was supposed to teach me the same song.. none of them could really learn me anything, but this one made it easy. im from norway so please excuse my bad english :P
an excellent explanation - i finally learned the correct picking pattern - but, it would've been even better if you included the chorus - maybe you could post it? thanks.
Thanks a lot. I never could quite figure this one out. This sounds the closest so far. And I badly needed guidance on how to do fingerpicking, which is my weak point.
this is so helpful thank you so much, i am just learning how to play the guitar and it makes it a lot easier seeing it played then reading notes...thanks
Thanks so much.
