Thanks for checking out my lesson on "Melissa" by The Allman Bros! Be sure to check out my new EP "The Voices" on Bandcamp: bit.ly/APPBandcamp Join in on the fun EVERY SATURDAY at 12p PST for a new Riff Rundown! Happy playing and much success to you on your musical journey! =)
This one of the main reasons a guitar teacher charges by the hour . My meaning of that is because it takes time to go over a song to get it right and she takes her time and teaches really well going over the specifics of your progressions as you go . Very good teaching of Melissa and by the way , she's showing the correct way to play mellisa . Good job.
She’s by far the best teacher I’ve seen on TH-cam! Most people run through the song up to speed after only going through it once. I also love her favorite sayings,” let the pick do the work” and “ what you can’t play slow you can’t play fast!!”
One of the coolest teachers on TH-cam. Thanks for great lessons
Ms. Angela's facial expressions are really selling the lessons!! A lot of these lessons online lose me when the "teacher" comes across as "I'm doing you a favor" doing this. Ms. Angela comes across as warm, real, and having fun!! Thanks for doing this.
Absolutely
Agreed 100 %!
You are so right. So many You Tube "teachers" don't teach at all. They talk, and LOVE to hear their own voice. I can play fairly well and have learned some really neat tricks from Angela, she's an awesome teacher for all skill levels. Any beginners would be doing themselves a favor by learning from Angela, and more experienced players can pick up new styles. There is more than one way to do a specific skill or note or chord. Don't get stuck thinking there is only one way to do anything!!
Thank you for the kind words, Michael. Glad you are getting a lot out of the livestream lessons. Much success to you on your musical journey.
Michael Murphy, With all due respect, I would say that any guitar teacher who gives you a FREE tutorial is de facto doing you a favor. Am I wrong here?
I love you're instruction videos very much!! If anything transforms me from a novice to intermediate it will be you.You are an angel.I 've been wanting to learn "Melissa" since I heard it a soldier serving the U.S. In Germany in 1974. Now I can. I just started learning to play guitar last year and already have 6 acoustics and 5:electrics. I'm tired and painfully disabled. Guitar has given me purpose. I want to wish you and your yout ube watchers a Merry Chistmas as well.
Im in Atlanta. Im 44 and just picked up the guitar after about 12 years. When the kids arrived, I put it in the case when they started crawling and it sat there for a little over a decade. Now Ive dusted it off and found your channel. Thank you for doing this for us.
Breaking this Song down in such a way you really come to appreciate how gorgeous these Chords are as well as the overall Song Construction. I can only imagine how satisfying it was to the Songwriter upon completion of it.
I have never enjoyed a guitar tutorial as much as this one! I fell in love with Angela and her teaching style instantly!
Just discovered these sessions, brilliant, well presented and easy to follow. A lot of online tutors could learn something from your style. Thank you.
thank you PJ!
Great lesson! You're teaching style makes it easy. Thank you!
From Hartland Michigan USA... OMG After a nearly 40 year, layoff that I was starting to seriously regret, my wife bought me a PRS SE24 for my 64th Bday.. Even when I was playing I never learned this song but now I am THANK YOU Angela!!!
Miami, FL and I have more than one favorite love song: Melissa, Wild Horses, Little Wing... I can keep going. Thanks for the easy to follow lesson.
Fantastic lesson for us perpetual beginners, thanks Angela - looking forward to more of your lessons. Thanks for dedicating some of your time to teaching!
Where have you been all of my life!!!! Thank you for this lesson.
I second that ☝️
This is so mellow and chilled and jazzy, love it! Thanks Angela!
What a great teacher! Melissa is one of those songs I always loved but never thought I had the aptitude to play. Angela has a reassuring manner to her teaching style and puts the student as ease. Thanks so much!
i rarely comment, but you have a very easy relaxing way of teaching and you make it very easy to follow...great job and keep smiling!!!
Spot on with your strumming of the chords outstanding lesson and also the smile you have
You're so awesome and encouraging. Thank you Angela. I've loved this song all my life. What a treat to enjoy my own groove to such a beautiful tune. 😍 😇🙏❤️
Great lesson and beautiful song. When Greg sang this song it brings tears to your eyes it’s so awesome. That C 7 is sweet. Thanks Marty
Thanks Angela. Been loving that song so long. Thanks for the lesson.
Oh wow ! Always loved this song ! You’re one fantastic teacher !
thank you so much for your time you are amazing you have taught me to learn so much easier than anyone has i enjoy the patern you choose to teach its amazingly easy hats off to ya great job GOD BLESS YOU Ms Angela
Hi Angela, I have really enjoyed this lesson. I hope you continue with some more Allman Brothers songs. One of my favorites is 7 Turns- would love to see you do a lesson on this one!
Simple and effective techniques....lost for a generation of musicians since the late late 60s & 70s...from bands like Bread...this is what musicianship is about. Thanks Angela!!
Aren’t those the “Bread“ chords to “”Make It With You”? Love Bread!
Love it. I will spend all day playing that song. I think it is my new favorite love song. In Portland loving your lessons.
GREETINGS from h’wood, CA. I used to watch the Allman Bros. Play live in Piedmont Park (ATL., GA) on Sunday nights back in the late 60s. I remember they would open in the dark (no lights) w/ the riff from One Way Out, then lights up and all hell would break loose !!!
FAVORITE LOVE SONG: John Coltrane/Johnny Hartman collaboration on “My One and Only Love”.
Very nice! Great open chord instruction to this beautiful song by the Allman bros.
Angela, what a beautiful and lovely person you are. Just took a look at your Melissa and can I say what a talented teacher you are, - I'm a player and teacher for many years but I can see the fantastic benefits you are giving to people starting out. Well done and keep up the good work, Mel(UK).
I just started learning this song!! Fabulous! Love your videos! Please keep them coming! ❤️ My favorite song, too!
Angela, so well done !!! ❤️
Thanks so much Angela for teaching this song. Very pretty song.
One of my favorite songs. Excellent job.
Beautiful Angela! Beautiful! Always wanted to get that one down! Thanks!
Love it Angela! you are my hero!
God, I love that song! Thank you Angela!
You are having fun and it shows. Good stuff Angela!!
Absolutely Fantastic Lesson !!!!!!
Great music Angela ‼️ Thank you 🙂 for the wonderful lesson
Thanks again Angela! Awesome!
Angela you are amazing. I like the way you break these lessons down and explain them very well. Listening from Arkansas.👍❤️🎸😍🥰🤩🎶🎵
Absolutely brilliant lesson explained so well. Thank you.
One of my all time fav.s the Allman brother.s. this song just moves me ......love it girl
Hey, great job at breaking down each part. I started out with a Les Paul Custom and I realize now that all I ever cared about was playing lead guitar and thus wasn’t really progressing as a player, I had bought several years ago a Martin X series with the fishman pickup and a goose neck mic inside the guitar. Unfortunately I didn’t have an amp at the time and I also didn’t really play it much. Recently I was happily reunited on accident with my lost love from my early 20’s , I never had realized it but she was the only person who I had actually ever really loved , anyways she unlike most girlfriends I had had wasn’t jealous of my guitar and in fact she encouraged me to play for her and I love that so much about her. She then bought me my next acoustic guitar a Gibson J-45 and I love it. I suddenly started actually because of the acoustic guitar learning songs again and then I ended up buying my first Nylon acoustic guitar a Martin 000-C 12-16E with the fishman pickup and preamp and I am amazed at how great it sounds and how I loved the Nylon acoustic and it also has made me want to learn more and more acoustic songs that I love. Of course the great encouragement that I received from my soulmate makes me want to keep growing with my playing and people like you are a blessing in this regard as I work 40-60 hours a week and don’t have a lot of time and this is a great thing you do to help people like I. Thank you from LaGrange , Georgia and my favorite love song which use to mean nothing to me has become “ Crystal “ by Stevie Nick’s… would love it if you would teach this one for me please… I just got through learning Landslide by her and learning that “Travis Picking “ was a lot of work for me that I am so glad that I put in the effort as my soulmate loves this song and Crystal both by Stevie Nick’s …. So if you would teach Crystal I would love that . Thanks and keep on doing what you are doing Angie… 👍
Love it! Thank you so much! What a beautiful song.
Angela, you are so cool! And funny! Thanks for these lessons!
This is a great lesson!!!
So far Ms Angela I was able to learn every song you’ve taught us, the world!
If I had to develop a playlist for my own gigs (I don't gig), I think I would just learn your tutorials. All of them. I'd be pretty happy with that. We have miraculously similar taste.
Such a great song. Thanks for the upload.
I’ve been playing this song for over 30 years on guitar, this video caught my eye for whatever reason and I have to say, your teaching style is excellent! I wish my guitar teacher took your approach all those years ago, bravo!
Thanks so much!
I love you Angela, Great song and great lesson. Thank you from Italy. Ciao
Thanks! Nice and simple, clear explanation. Appreciate the content!
Well done Angela. I gotta learn this one. ❤️
wow! so natural and fluid your teaching way
Love your style! I learn exactly how you teach. Keep up the great work.
Many guitar tutorials but you stand out for several reasons, you can play well, you can communicate well, you have a good approach, and you have great taste in music. Great job teaching this beautiful song.
Thank you for the kind words, Bob. I am so happy these Riff Rundowns have been helpful to you!
I always liked this song from The Allman Bros, Then it clicked I had heard it before with different words!!! one of my favorite singer songwriters was the late great Sandy Denny , her great song who knows where the time goes and finally looked up the how to play it.....its the same chords and rhythm for the verses as Melissa ,,Sandy first recorded it in 1967 Angela have a look and listen to both songs what do you think?
Absolutely love "Melissa" but "Please Call Home" is also one of my favorite Allman Bros. love songs, especially when Gregg sings the line "my heart ain't in it but I'll hold the door". The vamp at the end is killer also.
Great song,beautiful chords
Another great n friendly guitar tutorial..love it Angie... Nick ( Uk)
Such a great teacher!
Another great lesson on a classic tune. Thanks
fantastic lesson angela! tk you!
Nashville, love this song!!! enjoyed your way of teaching 🎸🎸😊

Excellent lesson!
Thank you for this great lesson and background information. Thank You from Zep is my favorite. Checking in from Charlotte NC.
Agree with all the comments here. Came across you actually from Norms videos. You teach everything so much better, inspire confidence, and are so relatable, thanks for doing this!
This is fantastic
I always played lead on this song in the past. Thank you for teaching this song so well! Now I know what my buddy was up to on rhythm.
Just found you! New favorite lessons
Tuning in from Eastern Massachusetts....First learned this back in early 80s..but would forget some of it..I'll get it now ..great sound. Favorite LS..man so many..LOVE by Lennon
Nice lesson. Love that song.
Your enthusiasm is infectious! You make learning positive and fun. I remember as a kid going to guitar music lessons. Stiff, slow and uncomfortable 🥵. I like watching you teach. Your very present & aware. ! Thank you. I love the Allman Brothers!!! The Whipping Post is an amazing song. Sweet Melissa is Beautiful with all it's Minor's. Sometimes simple is Best ☺️
Thank you! Keep at it!
Fantastic 🎉 Thank you soooo much. I always wanted to learn this tune but never could seem to figure it out. You make so easy to put it altogether.
From a 30yr veteran teacher I love your teaching style. You made it so learnable.
Thanks again,
Jeff in Jackson
Great lesson. Great teacher.
Thank you again Love this song !
Love this music/song!
I just tuned in and subscribed to you. Because I learned more from one little video from you. Then I've learned in a long time, thank you very much.
Angela, that was great. I was already playing this but needed a little more explanation with the bridge and ending and you brought it home for for me. Thanks very much! Going to perform this one on my Facebook guitar community page. Thanks again, appreciate your efforts!
Excellent lesson!! Thank you so much.
Beautiful song.
Angela I'm so grateful to have found your channel. The 10 minute lessons (limit of our attention span? Some sort of selfish algorithm for TH-cam profit???? Etc.????) were becoming a bit numbing. By preference, it is really nice to learn all the nuances and feel that there is participation happening, rather than just getting the cliff notes. Don't get me wrong. It's all good, but your approach is really pleasant and it's pretty incredible that these are most of my favorite songs and artists. After spending an hour with you and your method, I've got a good grasp, in detail, of these tried and true classics. You're very kind and at the very least, deserve some words of sincere gratitude. Thank you ☺️😔😐😑😊😗😙☺️😶😐😑😔☺️😊
Nice I have been learning for a couple years retired 60 year old I like your lessons going slow arthritis is a bummer keep them coming 👍
