    Great commitment by Justin to be going back and re-doing old lessons for us to keep the site updated with HD videos instead of 360p etc shows what a great guy he is

    Justin, I just gotta tell you, not only do I really love your playing, but every time I watch one of your instructional vids that has you and this young lady playing and singing together I just sit there and smile, the two of you just sound soooo good together it's amazing. The combination of your great playing and her beautiful voice is just way over the top. I seem to get the vibe from you that you really like it to. Just an observation dude. Please, more of the two of you would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for all you do for us.

    I know this was recorded ten years ago but I’m just now getting back into playing guitar I’m 74 and haven’t played for 15 years and this is a song I have loved forever, the young lady you have singing is doing a spot on job hope she comes back for more of your instructional videos, keep up the good work Justin thanks for being there for all of us want to be guitar players.

    I owe Justin more than I can ever repay. He is an incredible teacher! The joy I get from playing is beyond words and I only have that feeling because of Justin and a few other great tutors.
    Thank you!

    Such fun just to watch and listen to Justin and the wonderful female singer perform this gem of a song. That was actually all I wanted to do this evening. But you made me feel so inspired I picked up my guitar again and had a go….What a great tutorial. I managed to get the hang of the riff and the chords so quickly thanks to your excellent teaching!

    One of the things I absolutely adore about Justin's lessons is that he gives lots of alternatives and stresses that there isn't always necessarily a "right" way to play something. I think it's an essential message, especially for beginners. I wanted to toss out the alternative I use that he didn't mention (in this vid) for switching to a pick: Hybrid Picking! I use it for most "fingerstyle"stuff I do.

    I’m 56 thought I missed opportunity but now I’m enjoying this song every night. Thank you for this piece!

    After listening to Tracy Chapman a couple of days ago during the awards show, I realized I HAVE TO learn how to play this song: what a beautiful song! This is the BEST tutorial on TH-cam! Thank you Justin for the Crystal Clear Explanations!

    Justin where were you when I started to learn how to play a guitar? I had hard time practicing; tried and tried until the urge died down. But with your teaching technique, I suddenly feel the desire re-ignited. I will dust-off my guitar and starts practicing. Thank you so much in advance! I feel that I could finally play music in no time.

    @perfectlyGoodInk ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome lesson as always! Getting all the little details that Marty glosses over, so I find that the two of your lessons usually end up complementing each other quite nicely. And great pointer about the strumming pattern. I've been struggling with what exactly to do there!
    Regarding what to do regarding the pick at the chorus, a 4th option is to do the fingerpicking in the verse hybrid style, holding the pick regularly in the thumb and forefinger to pluck the bass notes and using the third, fourth, and pinky fingers to pluck the other notes. Then you already have the pick where you want it to strum during the chorus.
    The main drawback to this is that you have only 4 digits (pick + 3 fingers) instead of 5 available to pick, but that's still plenty for this song.

  • @leahsero9753

  • @dukeCH
    @dukeCH 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always wondered how he could go straight from chords to fingerpicking...until 12:10 when i saw him just throw the pick away :).
    Justin, I'm still new, only 1 year in, but it's so much fun thanks to you and the progress is just great.

    Okay, you have inspired me to try this as my first finger-style. OMG. I'm getting it, slowly. That "step-down" that is only played once is a killer. Can't get that. Part of the journey, I guess. I can't imagine trying to play this and sing. But baby steps. Great job instructing and taking time to explain it clearly! Thanks!
