Thanks alot for taking your time and slowly showing me how to play this way cause im kind of a slow learner so thanks again for the cord tips 8-)

@joefoster1984 You're welcome - very good luck with the song!

Jim, I just want to thank you for this series of tutorials. I was aware of the song 'in passing' but you have inspired me to learn it and sing it. Thank you again. By the way - do I detect a fellow Lancastrian?

[Lowdenjim]

You are most welcome, and thank you for your kind words; a fellow Lancastrian? - almost....... I wear both Red & White at football matches, but at cricket it's just the white rose!

Thanks for taking the time, and putting the effort into these dadgad vids. Very helpful , and well taught. Thanks.

[Lowdenjim]

Thanks to you John - much appreciated from a player of your quality!

Very impressed with your teaching, Jim with your Lowden. I have been playing in standard tuning (or trying too) for years. I'm going to give this a good bash. I know the song from Fairport Convention's cover. It's a great alternate tuning with a sound that i love. Thanks mate!

This tutorial sequence has been great, but you haven't kept your promise (in Video One) of showing us how to adapt these skills you've taught to accompany jigs & reels etc. How about a video aimed especially at that? I'm sure I'm not the only frustrated session player who'd appreciate it. :-)

[Lowdenjim]

Thank you. As you say, put the pick away...play the Clapton way.....

That was a great instructional vid! One of these days I will take the time to put down my pick and use my fingers! 5/5
