Mr goldhat,

Been playing for a couple months. Love this tune, love your version, but confused.

After the walkdown - during the Em chord/picking, if you are picking 6-3-1-2, then what does Em have to do with anything if you're not strumming them? They are on the 4th and 5th strings?

Thanks

[goldhat3]

Good question. Actually, the EM 5 and 4 is not played during the pattern, but it is good to finger it anyway in case you make a little strum or miss with your fingerpicking.

Thanks so much for this beautiful rendition of one of my favorite Beatle songs. After viewing several times, it appears the Em picking pattern in the closing changes to 6-3-2-3-1-2-3-2 Is this correct? Thanks!

[goldhat3]

yes, good eye mate.

[beyaw17]

[goldhat3]

WHOA youre like the cool old man i never had

[espiriguidiberto]

i wish you were my uncle

[f250nut]

I like the song too, and I especially like the sound you have your guitar dialed in to.

@kingshearer2 ah thanks. haha an answer from someone 7 months later! but that's cool. i still want to learn to play this song. thanks again.

@explodingmoons

I think when he walks down after the G you move to the 2nd fret of the sixth string and pluck this string followed by the melody pattern ( i.e string 3 then 1 then 2 ). Then you form an Em chord playing the sixth string open followed by the 3 1 2 pattern.

In the verses starting Em the pluck pattern starts the same but has 4 extra notes i.e. Bass note (6 or 5) 312 (as before) followed by 3212. This might not be perfect but sounds pretty close. cheers

[STEVEM730]

thank you good lesson.

i think i got it.

i play with capo at 2nd fret and it matched perfect.

[TCostellos]

i think it would be better to zoom in on the fingers then the full body shot.

[deucoholic]

`help me for the intro.....i can't get it

[SINwOopWoOp]

dont take this to offence but i when i clicked this i thought the singing would have been bad but you have a very nice voice how long have you been singing???

[GlasgowBoaby]

superb big man keep up the good work :D

[explodingmoons]

i cant get it after the intro.

i dont understand which notes you're playing when we walk down. cause obviously you dont play all of them.

anyway this si really good anyway.

[jpablosnm]

can you explain the arpeggio pattern?
