Hey thanks for all of the little details on this song, much appreciated!! What a coincidence, I visited the Collins site a few days ago and wondered how good their electrics were...can you get one with a Wilkinson trem I wonder?

[tonedr]

don't know about the trem option...you could certainly give them a quick call and find out - thanks for checking out the vid and your kind post is greatly appreciated!

all the best with your music,

dale

I like your videos, very good explanations, great authentic tone, and I like the way you refer to the chord shapes as 'grips'. This is a very practical way of looking at it. Thank you.

dale

[jimmy5634]

Hi Dale,

Thanks very much for the video lesson... love to learn this one.

I was wondering what amp and settings you did use for this lesson. A really nice full, warm tone!

Best regards,

Franco

[tonedr]

i'm using a Headstrong Lil King with 1x 12 - maybe pushing the bass up a bit. Thanks for watching - all the best,

dale

[odtabien2]

hi dale! still got a problem with this song...:-)

i can easily play it without a pick...i am using a 0.7mm and by watching the video again i have noticed that you are holding the pick differently..well, as professional like you, i think it's the right thing..but i'm getting used of holding it tight so that i could not lost it...and the index and thumb were almost equally aligned...have to learn more right picking techniques LOL..thanks.

[tonedr]

i can relate.....i held my pick differently when i first started and after a couple of years after watching other players that i admired closely, noticed that they didn't hold the pick like i was. I changed to the way i hold it now - seemed like it took almost a year to get used to it but i'm glad i did. I'm a stickler showing new players about their pick - i don't want them to do what i did. All the best with your music!

dale

[odtabien2]

you are right...now i'm focusing more on your picking...not anymore to the collings..i don't want to spend another year for holding a pick...and have to finish this one and long train runnin.

thanks a lot Dale and God bless :-)

[zippers2]

You are an amazing guitarist. I finally have

someone to learn from on the internet who

knows how to get it across...thanks so much.

dale

[glueforall]

Great instruction...only thing i do notice is on some of the chords on the lessons (such as this one, which i've played for some time)...you stress not to hit certain notes of the barre..or partial barre...and on this tune in particular, during the main riff / verse it seems like you hit the high E (with your barre) when you cross over from the E to the Esus pattern, giving it a much more F#m7 feel than the Esus...just a minor observation...great playing though...thanks.....G

[tonedr]

thanks for watching - all the best with your music!

[SRV555]

Yea man those three quick chords on the A have frustrated me for years. Thanks a million!!!

[tonedr]

Thanks for watching - all the best with your music!

[tdarnold]

Thx... Been playng this for three years now in our cover band and just realized there are three quick chords you should play instead of the A after the chorus. They should have a little punch from the drummer also.

[tonedr]

Thx for watching - all the best with your music!

dale

[therealsparkman]

Thanks for the great lesson! Great instructions. Although I am new to playing guitar (1 1/2 years) I'm not sure if I can play this, but it's such a great tune and I will have to practice that much more to be successful. Thanks for posting the video.

[tonedr]

You can do it! Just keep pickin and let me know if I can help in any way - thanks for your kind post!

dale

[tkfisherco]

What a superb training video!! Could you comment a bit more on the strumming techniques? Is it simply sixteenth note or are you changing motions? Have you changed the angle of the strum to prevent striking lower strings or are you dampening them? Again, thanks for the great aid!!!

[tonedr]

thanks for your kind feedback and for watching the video! Strumming is difficult to explain IMO - i am using up and down strokes - i am not hitting the high E string on the E chord - i try to stay away from hitting the low E as well. All the best with your music,

dale

[mediamanbkk]

I like your teaching style: Many thanks

Excellent lesson Dale. Our band is going to learn this song and you just made it easier! Love your Collings! I have a Les Paul Standard (same color as yours), a Strat, and a Santa Cruz OM acoustic. Would love to add a Collings to my collection. Keep the lessons coming!

Hello Rich! What a great collection of guitars you have - I'd love to hear if you ever add a collings. Best of luck with your band & music!
