[lukessummerguitar]

@MrMusicM67

Variax...by "Line 6"

[DanBDW]

Great sound. Im even listening to this for the pleasure now! Could you do a full broken down guitar lesson for this? Im trying the tab but it never sounds right.

@DanBDW

I have posted a link to the tab in the "More Info" section...if you're still having trouble learning this piece, let me know, and I will try and do a break down as best I can.

Do one need a thumb pic to make it sound like this? You are the only one at youtube who can play this correctly, thanks for doing the vid, its awesome!

No need for a thumb pick, but after you learn it - or indeed any fingerpicking song accompaniment - you will find that the thumb pick gives better definition to bass strings on an Acoustic or Electric.

Better to learn a piece without it first and then when you have it memorised add the thumb pick!

Can't believe less than 4000 views. Pefect lesson! Thank you!

Brilliant, simply brilliant. 10 stars.. out of 5

[MrWilko58]

Fantastic lesson. I would never have aced it without the tabs. The key for me was playing the A string at the right time.

I have Erb's palsy in my left arm I used to take guitar lessons but quit because my fingers weren't strong enough to push down on the fret board. So I would like to know, can one still play guitar if they have Erb's palsy?

@MrMusicM67 Where are the pickups???????

[tireiron]

Great video, I appreciate the link. Thanks!

@lukessummerguitar I've been looking at the tab and I'm still having a really hard time! A thorough breakdown would be super helpful. you seem to be the only person on the internet who can play this riff correctly...

[rockyjohnstone]

@collinclaus Agreed. It's still kickin' my butt. Luke, I don't suppose you have an acoustic guitar version? I suspect I'll get it in a day or day. Tricky one though.

[alderete74]

thanks outstanding

[collinclaus]

...and broken down so well too!

[collinclaus]

Thanks. It's the most accurate sounding version on YT. :)

This sound goes right into my heart. I really, really need you to slow it down much more to get it right. Is it possible? I tried with the tabs but don´t get it right.
