Haha! Honestly, I probably won’t anytime soon. The notes are all the same. I would suggest a clean tone. Thank you for the comment!

Glad it was helpful!. Thanks for the comment!

My pleasure, Brett. Glad it was helpful. Thank you for the comment and subscription. Welcome to my page!

Thank you!

You are welcome. I hope it was helpful

Thank you. I hope it is helpful

Thank you so much!

Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful. I know what you mean about using it or losing it. Fortunately, once you’ve learned something, it comes back a little easier. I’m sure you’ll get back into it and things will start coming back for you.

@@mitchsmith6365 Thanks man, I broke a wrist in 2016 smashed drunk on a motorcycle. My reach hasn't been the same since plus plastic parts were disintegrating in my hands like the volume knob and the toggle switch cover. I just paid around $370 to get the Gibson fixed. Les Paul custom SG three pickups gold hardware I bought in 1989 for $550 when I was 18. Been my main ever since. Now I would never sell it but it's worth probably 8 grand now especially being an 86 with the Tim Shaw pickups. It's going to take a couple months at least to be band worthy again, but I'm sure I can get it back. Thanks again for your cool comment and thanks again for the help getting my skills back. I miss being a show off on stage. It was lots of fun entertaining a crowd. I almost forgot the $300 to fix the amp. Crazy how expensive good equipment got and a crackhead sound engineer stole almost all my equipment in early 2000s. Luckily I got my Gibson back.I could list all the other things, but I would be here for a long while.

@@ericbitzer5247 oh wow! I love SGs. Something about that body style and neck that gives great access all the way up. Sounds like you’ve got a really nice one. I’m glad you’re getting back into it. Sounds like your taste in music is similar to mine. Hopefully more of my videos will help you get back up to “show off” status lol. Thanks for the comments my friend. I have to say one thing though. In the future, don’t mix bikes and alcohol. Too many mother’s sons and daddy’s daughters out there on the road. Not to mention the set back you’ve experienced in your playing. Let the rock and roll be your outlet. Rock on brother!

Haha!! I am proof that fat stubby fingers is no excuse!!

Thank you

Thank you!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!

I appreciate you don’t rush pieces! I did!

Thank you for that encouragement. I am trying to be more consistent. However, this week was Bach, next week may be Ozzy Osborne lol!

@@mitchsmith6365 you are most welcome! As for me? I treasure that you don’t only reside in one harbour! Well-rounded and more talented. ;)

@@ItsMeHello555 I used to play more on a nylon string. I sold the one I had and just recently bought this one. I’ve been mostly relearning these songs and getting my fingers in tune for wedding season. I will probably switch gears next week and get back on a steel string and some electric. I have a performance in May that I need to focus on. So I will be posting things geared towards that soon.

That is interesting information. I’ve always seen is as Bach. Even on piano arrangements. If I get time, I may do some research on that. Thank you for the input.

@@mitchsmith6365 Linzer and Randell used the melody of the familiar "Minuet in G major" (BWV Anh. 114), which first appeared in J.S. Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach.[2] The only difference is that the "Minuet in G major" is written in 3 4 time, whereas "A Lover's Concerto" is arranged in 4 4 time. Although often attributed to Bach himself, the "Minuet in G major" is now generally accepted as having been written by Christian Petzold.[4][5][6] The melody had been popularized by bandleader Freddy Martin in the 1940s, in a recording that was released under the title "A Lover's Concerto".[7] Critic Dave Thompson wrote of the Toys' version: "Few records are this perfect. Riding across one of the most deceptively hook-laden melodies ever conceived ... 'A Lover's Concerto' marks the apogee of the Girl Group sound."[2] The song also has an unusual structure that blurs the differences between its verses and choruses.[2] Add to this, it was also popularized by Sarah Vaughan under Mercury label in the late ‘60s. The lyrics begin: How gentle is the rain That falls softly on the meadow, Birds high up in the trees Serenade the clouds with their melodies

Thank you for the positive feedback. It was a pleasure to work on.

@@mitchsmith6365 i have learnt this myself a great tune I play this almost everyday capo up a whole step on folk steel string guitar and up tempo very sweet i first saw it a classic guitar song book attributed to Bach as well learnt later it was Christian Petzold thanks Mitch you play it well

@@grahamclaireeyles8075 Thank you for the feedback. I love finger style on a steel string. It’s just hard for me to fit my fingers in all the places they need to be. I’m hoping to find a steel string spaced like (or closer to) a classical guitar

@@mitchsmith6365just give it a go i used to do classic then changed to a 1 3/4 inch width nut on a maton 25 1:2 inch scale i think and you just adapt over time cheers

@@grahamclaireeyles8075 thank you for the advice. I’ll definitely keep it in mind

You are too kind!! Thank you though. That means a lot coming from a creative genius such as yourself!

Thank you for the comment and encouragement!

Thank you Robin!!

Glad to be helpful my friend! Try tucking your elbow in and kind of using the side of your first finger on the first and second strings for the F chord

Glad it was helpful

Thank you so much! Yes. All of those with that particular thumbnail/album cover are completely original. For me, it’s easier to make stuff up rather than duplicate someone else’s art. Thanks for listening and commenting!

Most welcome! I appreciate the info and reply! You certainly found your gift. I’d buy this album in a heartbeat. 😍@@mitchsmith6365

Thank you so much for the positive comments AND for the flashback lol. It’s always great to see or hear from you! Message me anytime!

Awww, likewise, Roger Mitchell, on all of it! Pick of the litter. ;). Your sweet momma and Aunt Faye were nothing but jewels. ❤ Safe and well. ☺@@mitchsmith6365

They were exceptional human beings for sure!! Thank you for saying so FYI: I do have playlists on here that are just my original music (great for doing chores to lol). Also, keep an eye on my FB page “Mitch Smith Guitar” I’m always posting when and where I’ll be performing. PS. Make practicing music a part of your life. It’s healthy for the mind and spirit. Regardless of skill level.

They were, and you’re welcome. I may have listened to something that was original already and didn’t know it! When Mason gets back, I’ll have him help me decipher! 😳 I don’t do FB, alas! I’ll try to keep an eye out though! Would love that. Had my piano tuned before Lloyd’s music quit. I’m already on it! If you come across the sheet music for The Gael and/or Interstellar, let me know, please! THAT is what I want to learn to play! Go big or go home. Lol. I only took a short while and was very young. My teacher was killed in an accident. Only in her 20’s, Mitch. 2 little kids. I didn’t touch it forever. We have so much to be thankful for. Loved this! Thank you! I see few people these days! But I like it! Lol. Lovely weekend to ya! @@mitchsmith6365

@@ItsMeHello555 to you as well I checked out Mountain Mason. Is he the explorer? That’s the only one I saw. Looks like a really cool channel

Thank you for the comment and I’m glad it was helpful. I think the parts you are asking about are as follows: drone on the open 5th string (A) and hammer on 5,7,8,5, 7,8,10,7. 8,10,12,8 10,12,13,10…….. The next part drones in the 2nd string, 2nd fret (A) and dose the same pattern starting on the 9th fret.: 9,11,12,9. 11,12,14,11. 12,14,16,14. ……. Hopefully this is helpful

Thank you Bruce! I'm glad you found it helpful. You can use this link to go to Udemy.com. I have an entire course of 10 lessons just like this, including "In the Hall of the Mountain King", Beethoven's 5th Symphony and more. The course comes with all the tablature. Thank you again for the positive feedback! www.udemy.com/course/classical-metal-guitar-you-can-actually-play/?referralCode=59FC247CB481AF54C883

Thank you for your question. Yes, the original recording is 1/2 step down but sometimes I do these tutorials in standard for simplicity.

Thanks Michael!

Thank you for your words and support. Unfortunately, I am not set up to receive money and I no longer teach private lessons. The best thing you can to to support me is subscribe to my channel, watch my entire videos , like and comment. I appreciate your willingness to be supportive. Good luck on learning the song!!

You are very welcome. I’m glad it was helpful

Thank you fort he feedback! I’m glad this was helpful

Thank you for the feedback. Maybe sometimes when I’m writing the tab, it doesn’t come out that way when I play. Something I can improve on. Thank you. I’m glad this was helpful for you. Good luck!

Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful. Learning the building blocks translates well into learning other songs too!

Thanks! I hope it is helpful

Glad to be helpful!!

Awesome Gavin! Good luck!!

@mitchsmith6365 Thank you Mitch 😀👍👊🤟

Thanks for watching and giving feed back. Keep in mind this is Classical Metal Guitar You Can Actually Play so it is somewhat simplified. However, if you have any footage of yourself playing and teaching it more accurately, feel free to post that in the comments. I’m sure my subscribers could benefit from seeing that.

Thank you Tim. A masterpiece indeed!

You are most welcome. Glad to be of help!

You are welcome friend! Glad you enjoyed it!
