Thanks for your comment Bruce, yes I love to play and sing 😎
Would that be a Hohner guitar by any chance? Looks very similar to the one I bought new 25 years ago. Still play it every day. Best money I ever spent.
Hi Robert, sorry for late reply. My guitar is a Takemine, about the same age as your Hohner though.😎
Super😊😊❤
Well done my friend David , Sounds realy good and Well worth Thumbs up.🪗🪗🪗 Mick.
Very nice David!

great cover! greetings from wiesbaden germany

Pls I like full guitar work style for complete song.
Hi Thanks for watching. If you go the description there is a link to me performing the complete song. Thanks
Just found you 😊 love your style
Thanks John, I appreciate your words. I'll be doing more! Is there anything else do you think that I should be doing?
❤❤👏👏🫶👍
Thanks for that man. I used to play this years ago...... had forgot about it. You've just added another song to my set list 😁💚
Thanks Alan It's in mine also! It always goes down well. Can you suggest anything else that I could show in the video? Cheers🙂
@@davemaclivenothing else required Dave, you pretty much covered everything!
Super
I appreciate your comments! I'm a non reader of music so I'm interested in anything else that I can do to help people learn. If you think there's something else I could be doing or showing please let me know Cheers
Thank you friend
Sounds great and really helpful! Having played other songs by Paul Simon, this was great to add to the collection and actually learned a few different techniques by watching David explain it here - thank you for do in a REAL GOOD CLOSE-UP OF THE RIGHT HAND! 😊
Hey Thanks Joe, I appreciate your comments! I'm a non reader of music so I'm interested in anything else that I can do to help people learn. If you think there's something else I could be doing or showing please let me know🙂Cheers
Nice cover. And I hate to nitpick, but the line is "hope you have a lot of nice to wear"- not clothes.
Well spotted, You're paying attention, I like that! I think you mean "nice things to wear" However I'm sure that in the many songs that I sing I don't always use the written words. I see that the writers themselves often change the published lyrics. It's like singing different notes of a song. You don't have to be rigid, so I certainly try not to copy a song exactly, words, melody, the actual version of a song. Some famous versions of original songs leave out whole verses. But thanks for your thoughts and I hope you'll keep watching and listening.
Wow
Hey Dave that sounded great man. Sad I love n my truck camper but I also play guitar n that song. U know playing really keep me going. Just went threw a divorce after 34 years. GOD bless you My friend 😊 keep it up.
Hey Johnny, Music is the best medicine and it connects all of us eh! Keep playing and listening! Cheers😀
Brilliant David - great lesson!
Thanks Des Are you learning it? Are you finding any stumbling blocks? Let me know, maybe I can help. Cheers
Excellent 👍👍👍
Thank you, glad you liked it. 🙂
Another great video - could I suggest doing a normal speed run thru of the first verse on these videos at the outset? breaking down the chords/strum pattern after that would then be more meaningful. But I will keep watchign and learning regardless, Cheers bud.
Good idea, I take your point!😃
Hi David , could you please show us "To love somebody " by the Bee Gees, again but show us and tell us what chords to play ???
Hey Joseph Thankyou. If you look at my performance of the song you can follow along playing these chords: Verse G Am C G F G D C G Am C G F G D C Chorus G D C G D C G Cheers 😀
@davemaclive Hi David, You're such a nice guy to take your time to send me those chords to that song 🎵! Thank you so much, appreciated. 😊
Brillant tutorial Dave, great to see the combination of close ups on strumming techniques and cord fingering, Rock On man.. Would love to see some Rod Stewart too 🤘
Thanks for that, glad it's of interest. I'm working on adding some tab also, dyou think that would help? I'm sure there's some Rod on the way!
Cracking!
Thanks Des Any requests? Who do you like? Who do you listen to? They maybe in my repertoire!
Stormy Monday would good if know it? I listen to mostly blues.
@@des683 What a great song, I've never taken the time to learn it though. Great chords eh! I do have a few blues songs lined up to do. I hope one of them takes your fancy
I already caught your knocken on heavens door the other day, loved it, but was frustrated because you wouldn't say what chords you were playing, talking most about strumming. Now again I seen this great Bee Gees hit I always wanted to learn, but you barely mentioned a couple of chords. The rest you teach is fantastic! Thanks, but I get to frustrated trying to learn a song without the chords to subscribe. 😢
Thank you for bringing that up! I will start mentioning the chords, I'm also thinking of including tab. Would that help you? What are your thoughts on tab?
@davemaclive Thank you for responding. Sure a tab would be OK, but if you don't say the chord as you go , it should run along the top of the screen if it's not in the tab. Like, G, D, C add9, G, D, A m, G
You do such a good job of explaining picking patterns David, hope your work catches on a bit.
Thanks so much for your comment! I'm thinking of adding tab for each song. Dyou have any thoughts on that? Cheers
@@davemaclive Up to you David. It's a lot of extra work but it's good practice. I should, I used to, but then there's only so much time in a day. (Not that I have ever tried to post online) but I think you're doing well in explaining and slowly growing your channel. I look forward to revisiting some good songs as you post them.
@@bertieborough Thanks for that, do you read tab? Would you read it if I added it? Or would you sooner just watch what I'm doing and pick it up that way?
I'm learning the guitar now because of this specific poetic song and the way you had explained and demonstrated the picking pattern. Thank you so much!
@@shiannbeng6375 Thanks for your message. I'm happy that you're learning.
very cool. I will learn it to play for my wife of 50 years. Sweet. Thanks.
Great, did you find it easy to follow? I realise my left hand's not exactly in shot, it's my first attempt at teaching. I hope your wife likes it!
wow very very good ,thanks
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
