I would like you to help me and I hope your answers! please help me! :D

[siggisongs1]

Sorry, there are no tabs!

[sunbrana]

[sunbrana]

love this version of this song find it easier to get the hang of playing than that originally played on the Am chord. :)

[readerovdoom]

nice work

[williamcairo]

Hi.. you play very very good! Thanks for your lesson...

But why you speak so weird? Where are you from?

Thanks again... i like your lessons!

[estergon2004]

@williamcairo Nothing is wrong with his speaking. It is a beautiful lesson.

[jobre66]

The first part of this video I understood very well. But in the second half, where is shown the change from C to G I couldn´t follow (time: 07:00). What I have to do with my right fingers (tabs) ?

And where can I get the tabs for this lesson?

[WasserFlaschenFan]

bitte mach deutsche Lessons du kannst so gut spielen

[mickael80782]

Great!!!!! Siggi or anyone can you please send me tabs on my email..... ?Thanks. mickael1988chautard@laposte.ne­t

[joefro233]

slowly struggling through this one... def not beginner friendly lol thanx for the lesson

[Kukylane]

If anyone is looking for the tabs, I've tried transcribing them from the video and put them here:

[passdoors]

[Seazer009]

Wayne..

[stefanieable1]

really awesome job! you helped me so much! haha ;)!

It would be great if you could write down the tab somewhere! :) thx in advance

[OurWorldOfWildlife]

awsome ty

[aasott]

You are a legend!

[bribriboytoy]

Siggi you have helped me so much with your lessons. This one in particular is fantastic. The area I am having trouble with and I am sure the rest of your viewers who have posted lately are is....we now have to reteach ourselves to play an open G chord with our pinkie so that we can transition the last piece, It is very difficult when you are used to playing the 1st string with your ring finger.

Thanks so much keep up the lessons. Danke mein Freund

[kilidebusking]

You are brilliant

[sguitar1442]

Thanks Sigg, this was extremely helpful

[josiechas]

You are correct, Siggi, this integrated chord melody style is perfect for this song. I like it a lot and thanks to your excellent instruction I have almost learned everything in your lesson. Just wanted to say thanks to you for your time in teaching this wonderful song.

[PogromcaBiszkoptow]

you're the best teacher!

[lukemomo1]

i learned it!!! THANK U SIGGI!!!!

[KomyKiller]

can you write a tab? we can;t really understand what strings are you picking... but the rest is awsome

[Suvarmi]

you are a master with the guitar siggi, and the best teacher I´ve ever seen, your main cuality is that you explain songs in english lenguage like an authentic englishman guitarist and you are german, thats your merit , congratulations

[hammy335]

i can get this video until about 9.15-9.30 not clear what strings are being played and what is strummed or picked. Anyone got clearer instructions for the ending? : (

[hattorihanzo04]

Excellent, well done, thank-you. I have been looking for a proper arrangement for this song- it is very close to what I thought it would be. Danke!

[siany007]

beautiful

[707Hunter707]

Gr8 lesson, but would be a lot easier with the tabs! Would appreciate it more than i already do!

[luxorhorus]

Sounds really good, like it a lot.

[getsmartpaul]

this is a beautiful version !

I was able to follow the beginning parts like others have posted.

It's not clear of the right hand strumming on some of the hard parts.

Appreciate another video on the harder parts ?

Thanks so much, LA Guy

[mrbazza218]

Fantastic

[LolaMoranguita]

I got it until close to 8:00...

[crazyfool78]

at :33 just after playing the D chord, siggisongs1 plucks the open G string then plays the G string 4th fret, then plays the open D string, then back to the Em chord... Basically that's the end.

[crazyfool78]

I figured out the end. Remember to follow the chord progression first. Then figure out the individual notes in between. Great rendition

[TheclassicOL]

beautiful! God bless you!

[KaLiNKama94]

Could you make a new lesson from 8:00 to end. Thank you.

[jobre66]

@KaLiNKama94

I agree with you. The first part of the song is easy to play with Siggi´s lesson. But from 7:00 to the end it´s difficult for me to follow. Some steps are difficult to see for me, so that I can´t follow.

[WathACatchDanny]

you are not a good teacher

[kissthesky011]

@WathACatchDanny you're probably just dumb, cause to me it was perfectly clear and i was able to play it right away.

[pixithemis]

it was a nice lesson but as the other ppl said the end was pretty unclear...

[salamander2504]

Very nice lesson, but the begining is explained excelently - slowly and step by step - and the end is almost skiped witch explanation and just played :(

[kempaerik]

The beginning was very good but I didn't understand anything at the end and that feels sad when you've gotten so far.

[salamander2504]

Yes, the most important part of this song is unreadable for me too :(

[Czechmagnum]

Yes, good!

[Shmoo667]

Danke für diesen großartigen Gitarrenunterricht, als Anfänger hilft mir das wirklich sehr!! Aber den letzten Teil verstehe ich leider nicht ganz, obwohl ich mir das Video jetzt schon bestimmt 20mal angeschaut habe. Es wäre wirklich eine Riesenhilfe, wenn du den Teil nochmal etwas langsamer zeigen könntest.

[Dedssss]

Sigi you're the best!!

[chaoticability]

Still not quite clear about the hardest part and the ending after watching this video numerous times. Could you explain more on that?

[himmelrp]

Echt klasse, auch für fortgeschrittene Gitarristen.

Super!

[19540725]

Siggi, I lova the way you teach playing guitar. Claudio

[rhino81748]

does anyone have the tab forn this?

[azbestas123]

@rhino81748 all tabs are in this video...

[OneGreatChance]

Könntest du bitte in die Videobeschreibung die Akkorde reinschreiben, so wie du es bei der anderen Lektion auf dem Blatt gemacht hast?

[MrPASQ]

great great lesson everithing seems easy when you teach

[timboNL]

Wow awesome, i think i'm going to learn this one, i'm no good guitar player but i think i will give it a try!

[Matheus10Man]

my kind of music is the metal but this music is cool great song, great player and great teacher 5/5

[5ymate]

LEGENDARY TEACHER

!

[ValoMoon]

Great song, great lesson!

[Paddzy]
