can you play its alright ma ?

[Lowdenjim]

Not done it since 1966, but yes - I'll do a "How to" on it (it was one of the next few on my list)

Great lesson, as always. Here's an interesting tip for people (like me) who don't want to keep retuning the 6th string between songs: Search for "Free Guitar Lesson: Cool Capo Trick #1." In a nutshell, you use a clamp capo from the opposite direction and clamp strings 1 through 5 on the second fret, leaving the 6th string open, so you'd be playing this song in E.

[Lowdenjim]

Yes - a good tip which works well also if you want to play in "E" using "C" chords with the capo at the 4th fret (see my cover of "Simple Twist of Fate")

@Lowdenjim

Thanks. I missed that one somehow. I'll give it a listen and a shot since it's one of my favorites.

[Lowdenjim]

Will do - very good luck with this one...

nice tutorial, i like how you've included the chord diagrams and strumming makes it easier for a beginner like me to pick it up. Great song too, keep the dylan lessons coming. Cheers.
