Hey this was a really wonderful lesson! Well communicated and thought out! You even covered some basic singing guidelines which I've never even considered. Thank you for your time on this lesson. It's a great song to bring back for 2017!
I found Heartwood last night on the web. I was looking for the strumming pattern for Ripple by the Dead and it was the most helpful site I have ever seen. I'm very appreciative for sure. I definitely hit subscribe.
GREAT lesson! Thanks! Love this song! one of my favorite, but hard to get the right rhythm and intro. You nailed it and now I can play it! great job!!!
I have followed other tutorials based on this song, but this is the best one. I like how you learn the chords, the strum and the riff all at once, so if you get bothered by one thing, you practice the other. And in the end you can almost seem to be a semi-competent guitar player, LOL
"...if you get bothered by one thing, you practice the other" - I never think about these things, so thanks for mentioning it. Psyched you dug the lesson!
Great Job, I'm a beginner, took a 8 wk group guitar class at the Local recreation Center, it was just okay, I'm also doing Jamplay online, but you were phenomenal. My weakness is the strumming and cord changes and this will help me in both. Watching you, I just noticed that the cord switch occurs at the first completion of the Strumming segment. Didnt really know when to switch to new cord. I was getting bored just going from cord to cord on a metronome, C-A-G-E-D- and Back to C
Best lesson on this song I,ve found. I am just kind of intermediate level now, is there a little mid section and outro you could run over, just to make it a little more full. Great stuff!
@@WindRider1 I must have been having a bad day, I keep saying I will learn the guitar someday but I never do and so will be stuck with my same three chords for the rest of my life! Thanks for the comment though. C.C.
@@carelesscabello man you need to find someone to play with. You will learn from each other. Trust me. Search for a playing partner even if they are better or worse than you. You will both enjoy it.
@@WindRider1 I use to blow harp with two guys back in the nineties and we did have fun but we drifted apart twenty one years ago. I've tried to reach out with no luck. Thanks for the comments Keith. C.C.
I am very new. This is definitely helpful. When you transition to the A chord, are you only doing that one up stroke on the A...then going right back to the E chord?
+Yap Min I know, I know. I've been producing lots of videos, but they're all for the beginning guitar course I'm making. Once I get that out the door I can do more free song lessons. Thanks for your patience.
I'm trying to learn this simple song but I can't get to the truth easily. There are different takes on what to play at the chorus. As I watch Stills play this song live it seems clear that there is no C" chord. It's some version of a B flat dim...? The problem with that is that singing harmony to that chord doesn't sound right. Anyone know the truth?
If it's the skin on the fingertips, keep playing, but try not to get blisters. After a few weeks of discomfort, you'll start developing callouses, and life gets a lot better.
@@mcburnski Good point. The backing vocals are definitely suggesting movement from an A to G to E when they harmonize their "Oohs." Are the guitars getting in on the action? Maybe...? Or they might just be hitting an A7 (which adds a G note to the A chord). On the other hand, the bass sounds parked on an A root note through that section. So the song is straddling G and A. I certainly wouldn't say it's "incorrect" to not put a G in the chart. But I'm going to bring up this subtle point from now on when I teach the song, so thanks!
@@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction yeah, it's just a quick G in-between the A and E. I've actually watched a few lessons that miss out the C in the chorus as well! Sorry, i shouldn't have been so rude in the first place. I've only just discovered your channel and it excellent. Hopefully i will learn a lot.
Hi guys, to make the chorus more interesting try this: D D on the e chord Then to the D chord D U D Then A chord D D D UD Not a good explanation, but im tired sorry

Theres a man with a saber there....

What to do if fingers hurt initially
If it's the skin on the fingertips, keep playing, but try not to get blisters. After a few weeks of discomfort, you'll start developing callouses, and life gets a lot better.
It's actually got 5 chords in it. So many online teachers get this song incorrect! A real seethe of mine
So...don't leave me hanging! What's the mystery chord?
@@HeartwoodGuitarInstruction a G third verse
@@mcburnski Good point. The backing vocals are definitely suggesting movement from an A to G to E when they harmonize their "Oohs." Are the guitars getting in on the action? Maybe...? Or they might just be hitting an A7 (which adds a G note to the A chord). On the other hand, the bass sounds parked on an A root note through that section. So the song is straddling G and A.

Missing a few chords in the chorus....... E D A C E.
Hi guys, to make the chorus more interesting try this:
D D on the e chord
Then to the D chord D U D
Then A chord D D D UD
Not a good explanation, but im tired sorry
Rob Hampton,Thank you for the wonderfully easy directions and tips. much appreciated
