Thank you!

quick question: what kind of an acoustic guitar do you think would be the best for playing these bob dylan kind of songs?

[connorlawhorne]

I've seen him playing classical guitars in the early days, and martins and gibsons mostly. you can find some specific records online, exactly what he was playing when, etc.

thanks man!

[connorlawhorne]

no problem! glad to help.

[justAnotherJapanese]

I'm impressed but why did you quit the rest part? It's a pity.

A very good piece of work, though.

[connorlawhorne]

thanks, this video is just a how-to. I do have a video of me covering the song, but that was before this and I didn't really put as much effort into it haha

thanks though, enjoy.

[tanikyu]

Thank you. Excellent lesson. Clear and short.

[5nickell]

holy moley! i think that's better than Bob himself! thank you so much, I've been trying to find the chords for this but none of them told me where to put the kapo.

[rayoll]

cool!!! thanks of that...I am not trying to start anything but a couple of times you say go up to when in fact you are going down a course of string or note or....just a little thing to notice perhaps that might confuse someone...again thanks, I hadn't thought to figure out what the tuning was.

[migo1954]

Thank you.

Greetings from Germany.

[jzmassive]

you're an absolute gobshite

[jd51452]

Just play the damn song.

[BoillyR]

Thanks a lot. This is the lesson that taugh me how to play this song. If you don't feel like changing the tuning, you can play it with straight tuning, sounds ok, not perfect, but still do the hammer thing on the C chord.

Thanks- v. helpful!

@BennyElie

Bob Dylan can be seen playing it on his Gibson Nick Lucas Special parlor guitar in the documentary Don't Look Back. I have read he used it for many of the songs on Bringing It All Back Home and Another Side of Bob Dylan.

So I guess if you want to be really Dylan-like you should play it on a parlor guitar. I think a parlor guitar could be particularly good for this song as it helps keeping the low C (E) kinda subtle, where it easily comes to dominate on a regular dreadnought guitar.

Thanks a lot my friend ! I've tried and it really gives something more to the sound, beside that you're a good teacher
