Tutorial- Free by The Zac Brown Band (fingerpicking)

[germansinsuburbans80]

Man,that's pretty awesome,could u do another picking tutorial.......there's a cross canadian ragweed song called Flowers.......its pretty awesome....if u could "pick" that one apart for us that'd be awesome....thanks

[anniebrook910]

thank you so much!!

[EricPerkinsMusic]

Great lesson

[3mmaSu3tunes]

my heart sunk when u started playing! im so stoked to learn this song! =D

[palezzy]

very nice version :)

[jcross461]

Very nice video brother.

[UWONTdotcom]

Someone posted needing a finger picking tutorial on uwont.com in the music section the other day. you could make some money for these

[LightTheHidden]

this is a very very good tutorial...just a very hard song hahaha

[BirdOfJove]

Thanks a lot man, very comprehensible tutorial. I just listened to this song for the 1st time, & thought to myself I gotta learn it. Can't wait to get it down. I live in Australia, and Zac Brown always has a way of making me reminisce about back home & the "good ol' days."

[harbourislandrealty]

That is awesome, loved it and worked out beautifully. Could you do one for Toes too? Trying to figure out the fingerpicking on there is working me hard. Thanks and keep posting!

[abelko12]

Keep posting tutorials, most people just breeze through a song assuming we know what fingers their pickin with and what not. Yours was the perfect speed

[JaclynsWorld]

Incredible.

[rororox101ya]

thanks ! and ur a cutiee (:

[FlappJackk95]

Great video. Helped me out SOO MUCH. Thank you soo much.

[SeanLee22896]

in your description you wrote "I'm not a teacher by anymeans, but I tried my best to explain how I play it." I really think you should be. you're really good at going step-by-step and explaining things. very nice tutorial

[MrNIKOLATTE]

you did an amazing job!!

[jandjblog]

thanks so much your a great teacher!!! I didnt think I could learn it in one sitting:)

[cbcrog]

[fero2901]

[XxMonroe1987]

good lob!! i wanted to learn this for my wife and you helped lots man thanks keep it up :D

[BigDickBandit26]

If you could make a lesson on knee deep by zach brown that would be great!!

[thomsonindinc]

Actually doesn't he turn his kapro upside down and leave his low E string open? and also the open E is really tuned down like a drop D . He plucks it alot on the videos.

[TTAY247]

@thomsonindinc would make sense cause if the capo is on 2 with it in C# then it starts on a C#,. The C# would be a tasty bass note hahaa

[wiimote123456789]

bud, just gotta say, Ive used a number of your tutorials, and the way ya teach em is fantastic. Keep up the great work, and thanks.

[musicequalslife40]

dude great job! sounds amazing

[operatorZ18]

@musicequalslife40 Thanks!

[vFoFo]

whats the point of the cappo? and is it necessary? and are these the 4 like, verses or is the chorus apart of the 4 parts you broke it down into?

and how long have u been playing guitar and how long did this take you?

Im thinking about playing and learning the guitar solely for this song, its amazing

[operatorZ18]

@vFoFo The capo is just to make it sound the same as the original song, and it isn't necessary. I broke it into 4 parts just for learning purposes only....you just repeat the whole finger picking part throughout the whole song pretty much.

I've been playing for almost a year now, and since I figured this out by ear, it took a little longer than normal, but it shouldn't take long at all for anyone else since I made a tutorial. Just go for it. It's a great song and will definitely be worth it!

[vFoFo]

@operatorZ18

hah thanks man, great tutorial

[JTPhoebe9]

The cappo is actually placed on the 2nd fret for this song.

[operatorZ18]

@JTPhoebe9 It's actually on the first fret. Zac just has his guitar tuned down a half step. Play it along with the song on the first fret and you'll be able to hear it for yourself. Thanks for the heads up though.

[DMR90Guitar]

much love and thanks

[Tadster911]

Nice Job! Hoss. Great tutortial.

[MrNicklock]

thanks man this helped like no other i love this song so much and been wantin to learn it so thanks man a bunch it was easy

[ashleygphillip]

When you have the capo on the first fret, how do you play the "C" chord and the "F" chord?? thanks! - Ashley.

[operatorZ18]

@ashleygphillip It doesn't matter about the capo. You would still play the C and F the same way as you would as if there were no capo. But remember, it's an Fmaj7, not an F, which only means that you play your normal F chord except you leave the high E string open. Hope this helps- Bryn

[ashleygphillip]

When I saw your cover of "free" it was awesome. and I really wanted to know how to fingerpick it. you did an awesome job! Amazing yet again!! :-) ** I did learn how to play "free" from this video. Thank you so much!
