This video guitar lesson is designed to teach you all of the beautiful guitar parts for "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas. This song is one of the most popular fingerstyle guitar guitar pieces ever written. As incredible as this song sounds it is actually only one fingerpicking pattern throughout, making it a great piece to learn.
The fingerpicking style that we are working with in "Dust In the Wind" is called Travis picking. Travis picking is the technique of using the thump to pick two repetitive bass notes to create a rhythmic and harmonic foundation for the song. It is used by not only Kansas, but by such players as Lindsay Buckingham and Chet Atkins as well.
Within these video lessons you will learn all of the intricacies of this gorgeous piece of music from the acoustic guitar parts to the viola/violin solo. That's right, in this video guitar lesson series I have also arranged the classic viola and violin solo section for guitar to give you a complete study of this classic rock masterpiece.
There are actually two guitars playing during the original recording of "Dust In The Wind". One guitar is in standard tuning and the other is using Nashville tuning. Nashville tuning is the process of tuning the EADG (6543) strings an octave higher than standard. This almost gives a 12 string guitar effect to the song. Within this video guitar lesson I will be using a standard tuned guitar throughout. Good luck!!
Thanks for this video. Here is a word of advice to all players. Please do not be intimidated by others. We all learn at a different pace. The objective is to enjoy the process. If you are slow at learning it will just require more patience and a lot of faith. If he can do it, you can do it. It isn't about showing off . Beauty and grace are not quantifiable qualities. Never give up. Good luck.
very well said sir 👍
Damn those are some nice words over there
Thanks. Problem isn't really learning, problem is having small hands and a huge friken neck to try to get around. Not fun
Sir, you left this comment 4 years ago, and you just made my day
Thanks!
People think they aren't good enough. But they aren't good enough just due to lack of practice. Practice makes perfect. Period.

You are a god
Would you mind telling me what the numbers mean? I’ve never really understood it
Every age needs its heroes.
@@mikkelhoelgaard149 if you're referring to the 1-0-3-1 thing he's talking about what fret should be pressed on the B string for each iteration of the chord. So if you're on the C chord playing the first iteration of it you'd pick these notes:
-X-
-3-
-2-
-0-
-1- (this is the fretted note that changes)
-0-
That C (1) note on the B string will be open (0) on the next iteration, then it will be on the 3rd fret, then back to the 1st before changing to the A minor chord. (1-0-3-1)
Hope this helps, cuz I was confused for a moment too
My first song as a beginner! My confidence has exploded. Thank you Carl for your time and patience to instruct as you do!
That’s awesome! Thank you and welcome to the journey... have fun!
Hmm, maybe I should be doing more acoustic lessons. :)
yes
Totally! 9 years later's comment
Of course
Ofc
Holy crap i learnt the picking pattern then went off and got the first three chords exactly right on my own. Thats massive for me, ive only been playing for a few weeks
That's awesome! Keep at it man! God bless! :)
Daniel Anderson do how good are you now?
You have natural talent bro don't give up on guitar
You have now been playing for years
Jesse Gause yea that’s crazy to think about. I’m in the same boat right now that he was 5 years ago
You have the longest pinky on earth
Paul Gilbert does.
FavStaR69 omg.. it looks alien.. I can’t watch this anymore I feel uncomfortable
Lol, sorry I should not have laughed at that. Ha!
@@Yanto-Bardic deadass
OMG you're right!
I have been playing about a year, and have shied away from finger picking until now. I love this song. Thanks for an awesome, and easy to follow tutorial.
5 years ago! How’s the playing been?
you know what'd be soooo tight. if you could start the video by playing the song. that'd be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tight.
+Drzpapigio14 How about a complete performance video showing ALLLL the parts... That would be soooooo tight as well.. th-cam.com/video/E90uW9j1Aqo/w-d-xo.html
+GuitarLessons365Song omg you replied!! love your vids they helped me a lot btw!
+Drzpapigio14 Awesome! Thanks for watching!
lol
Maybe you could put this in the description box? So it'd be easier for others to see this. :)
Thanks a lot for watching!
Hey, thanks for playing! Your videos are the best for a beginner (and advanced) like myself! I can play the Santeria solo by Sublime pretty good only took few months… my bends and double stops are much better. Any chance you could share what position you’re playing in with your Fender in the future?
I can't play guitar, but now I can play "Dust in the wind"
you probably play it like shit, then..
Heinrich Himmler yes
Heinrich Himmler so what?
I can "play" guitar, but I can't play Dust in the Wind because I have no usable left hand ringfinger.
Trukkerkeps how can you play the guitar if you can’t use your third finger?
I’m two months into learning to play guitar and this video really helped me get the rhythm of the picking down. Thanks!
I have been dragging my learning for years, fifty to be exact! Retired now and hardcore committed. I have picked up songs over the years, by ear mostly, a little theory here and there and some really bad habits LOL. So, for the last six months, four hours a day, most days, theory for two hours, two practice on TH-cam. You have the best explanation of song tabulation so far that I’ve found. It’s funny how many guitar players are out there and their styles and even there ways of playing songs. Let me ask one thing of you. I am old school, I guess, I can follow tabs, and it’s an easy way to learn a song. Doesn’t do much for learning music though I was taught notes in school, back before computers, LOL and I have been looking at the circle of fifths and fret board navigation and theory. And believe it or not it’s sinking in, and how it all relates to guitar. When you show a cord, please explain, briefly the notes you holding, example Dust in the Wind, a C7 cord is comprised of the root C, E, G, (Bb or C). I intend to expand to reading music, I hope, but it help me locate the notes on the board and memorize positions. Hey keep up the great lessons. Dick Winn Pine Grove PA
Hey thanks for the kind comment. I have a bunch of scale video lessons including pentatonic on my regular lesson channel. You can find the lessons more easily by going to my main website and clicking the lessons archive tab and checking out the intermediate and advanced lessons. Cheers! Carl.
one the best teachers online by far. Good teachers make it so easy to play. This picking lesson really opened me up to play a lot of other songs well.
Even though i am still a beginner, sort of, i thoroughly enjoy watching your tutorials as they are simple enough even for someone as uneducated as me. You are good teacher and a brilliant guitar player. I thank you Carl and hope to keep learning from your tutorials as long as I hold a guitar.
Cheers.
You explained this so well. The 1-0-3-1 was so simple and it's something that I have always been intimidated by. Thank you so much.
I think you did a great job at given this lesson I've learned a lot from your lesson thank you .
You're teaching it so easily & clearly, it's amazing! I was also able to learn Blackbird by The Beatles thanks to you. Hoping I can learn loads of other songs before my school starts this June 😝
Thank you so much for this! x
Excellent! Thank you one of the best on this song i've watched several others and i had the picking pattern down but still did not quite get it until i watched yours thanks again for taking your time for people that appreciate it
Awesome Tutorial. I'm just teaching this to a new student & just learning this myself, but had no idea it would be such an easy song to learn. I had the musical notation only, which looks quite complicated, but after watching this tutorial & then looking at the notation, the notation now makes perfect sense, lol.
I've been playing for about four months (pretty much internet taught) and this video made it really easy to learn this song
This one makes ya focus.
really the best video on Dust in the wind, with so much patience, thanks a lot!
I was able to learn Dust in the Wind using your instruction .... You are so awesome! Thanks a million
If I had picked up my guitar, I'd have still managed to learn this. Extremely well taught ❤️🌸
I've played guitar for a while and have always had touble with the pattern seeing it as 1310 really helped me get it ! Much much much thanks !!
Definitely helps with spider walk scales... Great video Brother 🤘👊👍
I have the intro and verse down and I can't wait to learn the rest! I have 3 weeks to learn this for the family talent show.
Thomas Garrett wow wish my family was that cool
Thomas Garrett Did you play it in the show?
Joe Hill I didn't learn it in time. I'm getting better on the guitar though. I ended up doing a hydrogen balloon ignition demonstration instead.
Thomas Garrett haha
@@thomasgarrett4937 LMAO absolute Chad
This is my first attempt at Travis picking and I think it will be a unique cornerstone in my guitar playing.Thank you so much for this lesson.
Thanks for this great lesson Carl. You have explained in very good detail the picking pattern which initially seems baffling, but you explained it so very well in simple terms that is easy to follow.
These lessons are terrific. I'm a jazz guitarist and don't play these acoustic songs much, but I always look for you first if I'm need of a clear, concise lesson in how to play a classic cover the "right" way. Keep up the good work!
Man u don't know how much i appreciate ur lessons thank you
Just want to thank you for making your videos. I find them to be very helpful when I want to learn something new.
I started learning guitar 5 years ago, started learning this song through this video 4 years ago, stopped playing guitar 3 years ago because I didn't like practicing, started playing guitar again half a year ago, came back to learn the second part a few days ago, and now have the whole song pretty much mastered. My relationship with guitar has been rocky but I truly love music now. Thanks for the great tutorial! Would've been much harder trying to learn using the tab
Thank you so much! I've just started to play the guitar and playing something that sounds this good gives me so much confidence!
Thanks Carl for a great lesson...returning to playing guitar after many years (thank you Lockdown)...your lessons are some of the best on youtube for sure!
Oh em gosh! I can't wait to have my guitar back! Thank you so much for publishing this.
Thank you very much for this video. I’ve stopped it about 100 times and spent the time on each facet. I’m new at the guitar, only been playing maybe 3-4 months.
This course is head and shoulders above the rest. Thank yoouuuuuu
You disassemble the song in a way for me to understand it, man i change the formation on every cord i play, in the intro, i doesn't realize that you could just leave your hand in the C o Am chord and just move the fingers. Thanks you are a great teacher, and guitarrist.
NO ONE on the YT explains as well and in detail as YOU 😭😍😍😍 (n I'm non English speeker) I understand only your analysis🙏🙏🙏 THANK U The others are just playing and u try to see where they have which finger that is pulling 🤯😤
Thanks so much for the lesson! I really enjoy playing this throughout the day, an absolute classic
thank you very much for your help, I am already half way" Dust in the wind", and now I am trying to learn" Yesterday" thanks so much for the opportunity to learn how to play the guitar:)
Thank you soooo much, this tutorial really heled improve my guitar skills. Just great!
this was an amazing video. you made it so easy for me to learn. i tried learning from tabs and they were all so confusing but you made it all make sense. thank you
This helped me SO much! Thank you, sir, for an amazing tutorial!
Thanks for the most thorough instruction I have found in the 5 months I've been bouncing around here on youtube trying to learn to play! Luckily I suppose I became frustrated with strumming and began focusing heavily on fingerstyle about 3 weeks ago so I have those basics down and this is the best fingerstyle song tutorial I've found so far! Your delivery method is one of the best I've found! Thank you!! How someone could dislike this is beyond me.
This is such an amazing track. I love Kansas dust in the wind. Awesome lesson awesome teacher
Brilliant! Superbly done, with patience, clarity, logic, patterns, proper speed and easy to view. Thank you!
Great lesson. Your explanation of the picking pattern etc. is such a big help. Learning these kind of songs only from tabs is sometimes a little difficult, I think.
Yeah I always thought it was easy for people to get lost unless I explained it that way. Glad you agree!
Thanks so much buddy! Ive been playing it wrong for years because i was lazy, but I actually got up and took the time to search how to play this right and you helped me.
I appreciate music Kansas' music s much now because Dust in the wind is such a beautiful song. I will make my own rendition of it soon and I will have played it correctly, thanks to you GuitarLessons365.
Thanks for the tutorial, when many years ago I started learning guitar my friend who was teaching me made me learn finger picking, while i just wanted to play electric riffs strumming i will never stop thanking him for forcing me to learn finger picking.
Thanks you so very much for sharing. I love this song. Great how you broke it down. look forward to part 2. Thanks!
Thanks for taking time and making this lesson, it is so beautifully explained.
Thanks man! I was looking for this video and you just showed up at the right time.
Wow, I get lost on most finger picking videos....not at all on this one. You are a GREAT teacher, keep it up! Many thanks!
Excellent video format and fantastic lesson. Very clear. Thanks mate.
That guitar has a great colorful tone
@MrTomboco Thanks a bunch! Hopefully the views will pick up with time. Perhaps I need to get a little bit better at marketing. :)
Cheers! Carl..
I've been playing the drums for over 12.5 years, but stopped about 10 years ago. Took this video as a very novice guitar player, never fingerpicked before, know all major chords.
10 minutes and I have the pattern down now. It's just automation from this point on. Excellent video :D
after having watched a lot of Dust in the Wind tutorials (some good indeed) - I definitely find this to be the best. Thanks a lot for your 3-part lessons!
Dear Carl,
Thank you so much i learned a lot of thing from you such as muting,hyperpicking and playing solos smoothly,before you,most complicated song that i could play was zombie by Cranberries but now i can even play sanitarium by metallica easily.I also learned how to play hard songs sad but true,fade to black, nothing else matters and smells like a teen spirit and i think i will learn many more songs from you.You make playing guitar easy to learn even for beginners and upper beginners like me.May i ask you to make a tutorial video for waidmanns heill by rammstein.or maybe a tutorial for i'm broken by pantera,1000hp or i stand alone by godsmack or psychosocial by slipknot or system of a down songs like byob or chop suey or toxicity.i know these requests are too much even one of them will be enough for me thank you,
Sincerely
From your fan Ege From Turkey
Ege Karpuzoglu Hey thanks Ege... Here is Chop Suey. :) th-cam.com/video/SKtXd2iYdm0/w-d-xo.html
GuitarLessons365Song thanks a lot sir...would you consider making a tutorial for any other of these songs.Actually i'll be busy on practicing wherever i may roam and chop suey for a while but after those i dunno what to play :) Can you recommend me a song or do a tutorial for one of the other songs.Thanks again for replying me:).
Sean Kemp thanks man :)
+Ege Karpuzoglu türkler heryerde :D
MonsteR Fire TR Evet Carl harika ya :D
This is one of the best guitar videos I have seen. He makes it so much easier to learn. Thanks mate.
Excellent tutorial. I really like the 3-1-0 explanation for the melody notes. It is an excellent way to keep track of what comes next. Thanks!!!!!
simple and very beautiful!
Great job, Thanks a lot)))
You teach real well. Its usually seen played so fast it's hard to keep up and know the routines. The finger on,off, pinky on,off. Thank you for your instructions. I feel after getting the picking pattern clean, I'll have it.
Really, really good lesson. I think it's the first lesson on youtube that mentions the 3-1-0 pattern.... that makes the intro so much easier to learn. Also, you teach more than just the intro (unlike others) Thanks a lot!!
Hey thanks a bunch, hopefully the views will start to come rolling in one day. :)
2.7 mil 7 years later lol
3.2 mil 😎
Parabéns excelente aula!! Do Brasil
Congratulations, so good class!! From Brazil
Thanks so much!!
I thought this was gonna be much more difficult, thanks! Great Vid!!
well got this video down... excited to get the whole thing down I really enjoy playing this one, thanks for the video
A classic and what an excellent lesson! Thank you!
It's incredible how playing a beautiful song makes it sound 10 times better. Nice tutorial.
Still practising, but this was one of the better tutorials out there. For some reason i didn't learn from the others as well as your 3-1-0-3 pattern
Great tutorial this song was made super easy and I was able to learn it in 20 min watching this. You have a great way of teaching and it sounds great!
Been off work sick and put alot into learning the pattern. Ive been playing 30 years and never even tried picking. But ive nailed it in a couple of weeks. Not the song. Just the picking. I can hold a conversation and just pop it out.
Carl - you do an excellent job with your instruction!!!
THank you SOOO much for this awesome tutorial! I decided new year's eve (musical objective for 2015) to learn to play & sing this, looked at many versions online and keep coming back to yours as the most helpful for me. I'm getting there! I always imagined this to be beyond my guitar playing capabilities but it's now within reach and I'm already adding in the singing (a whole other challenge to keep the picking pattern going while thinking about lyrics!) :) Really liked the comment about 1-0-3-1...pattern. Helped it sink in more quickly. :)
I've loved this song for a while now. At first when I was just trying to practice the picking pattern, it was pretty boring. Then I moved on to how the melody notes were changing in the intro, played it for the first time and now I just can't stop :D It just sounds so PERFECT.
I haven't played the guitar in months and it just feels so good to play the intro :) Thanks for this awesome tutorial.
Aye nice tutorial! REALLY helped me A LOT thank you!!
Very cohesive lesson. Never apologize. We all need to slow down a little bit. Thank you
Hadn't played this for years and this was an excellent reminder and I think great for a starter.. very concise
I’ve looked so long and hard for this and this is amazing thank you soooooo muck man I really appreciate it💯 (my fingers are killing lmao)
Finally learnt the first part. I'm on to the second part. Thank you!
Thank partner , you teach well , complete and detailed tutorial , continue with the great job friend, great video :)
You are an AMAZING teacher. I learned this in 20 minutes
+Alieen Babe (AlieenPrincess) genius

I'm kind of bad with the terminology
D:
Alieen Babe same
wow you must be so good
keep lying to yourself
Best tutorial of this song I've seen so far. Good job bro! Thanks!
Hey man i just got my acoustic guitar today and i learned this really fast thanks bro
I have watched the video and although, I made some improvisations due to the lack of height of some of my fingers, my version can still match yours and thank you for your video and hope that you will bring us some more!
Great song, very well taught. Thank you!
Well done! Best so far
