any chance at all that you might have been interested enough to learn/teach "nature of the game" by dan fogelberg? it's on my "bucket "list. thanks again

Great Lesson Dale! Once I mastered this, I play it on my 12-string, sounds even better, -and your right, that D7 shaped chord in the middle of the song is nice! Keep 'em coming!

Since your videos taught mr the Right Way to play this song a couple years back, it remains one of my favorites. So I keep my Martin in this tuning.

Thank you so very much for this excellent tutorial Dale! Thanks to you I believe "I've got's it!" I LOVE Open G Tuning, this is one of my all time favorite songs as well and I must say "Go Three Fingers" all the way on the Chorus and also on the ending as well. Cheers - Scott

Most excellent tutorial. First time playing an open tuning and I got the whole song in 2 or 3 times putting the sections together. You made this very easy to learn a song which I thought was really difficult. Many thanks, Jim H.

[MegaBilly52]

tonedr, thanks for such a great post,I think I,ve nailed it now. I remember standing in a record shop in Newcastle, England in 73 or 74 and listening to some of the most beautiful guitar playing I,d ever heard so I asked the guy behind the counter who it was, he told me clear as the driven snow by the doobie bros, this was the first I,d heard of them but I walked out with the album and to this day it is still in my all time top5 albums, cheers mate

[tonedr]

This is my favorite Doobie's song. Been trying to learn it for years but never thought of changing the tuning from standard. Needless to say, I've always been frustrated.

dale

[rngrfn77]

Just wanted to compliment you on a great lesson. Never thought I'd be able to play this but you explained everything in such detail I am having fun playing this great and unfortunately overlooked Doobie classic. Question: in the verses and chorus are you strumming the low E (tuned to D)?

[tonedr]

hello, really appreciate you watching the videos and i'm glad you are playing this great tune!

i don't strum the low string (D) hardly at all because i like the root G note (A string) to generally be on the bottom of the chord. Let me know if i can help in any other way.

regards,

dale
