Can you tell the tuning used just by listening to the song? That's sure impressive.

@1GoodRiddance I need to have my guitar and capo with me, and use a bit of "trial and error" to find my way, but my son can usually do it just by ear... but he's a smart arse.

Fantastic Lesson. Thank you.

Brilliant video, and clear instruction. Well done and thanks for taking time to put this up. It's exactly what I wanted, as I've just heard this song & absolutely love it!... With your help I'll be playing this with some time and effort..

Thanks again & keep up the good work.

@djdreamspin Thank you for those very kind words. Good luck with the song, and other great Dylan songs of course!

Nice lesson, very clear and careful, it's good of you to take the time. Good Yorkshire accent too - Leeds? I'm a Manc, but not on the red side. Anyway, best wishes with your efforts.

@bruiser838 No - a high % of fingerstyle guitar players use a thumb-pick, and a much smaller % use finger-picks as well. 

[bruiser838]

Is it required to have a really long thumb nail to play with finger strumming?

@Gingerjake2 Thanks again "Ginger" - Part 2 is done now; good luck with it...
