Looking forward to learning this, I used to just play it with the chords and my own picking pattern, be nice to learn a tab :)
Cool Liam! Yes he varies it up a lot, so can always use the patterns i've suggested and mix it up a bit as well :)

Thanks James :) Glad you enjoyed the video
When Bruce tells his draft story as the intro to The River at the LA Coliseum in 1980, do you think he’s arpeggiating these same chords?
Hiya. Could well be but I haven’t done that version yet. May well be something different. Perhaps I’ll put that on a future subscribestar poll!
@@BruceGuitarFantastic. Thanks so much. That’s my favorite version.
Thank you for another great lesson!
mmartin5150 No problem Mike :) thanks again for tuning in!

Thanks so much Stephen! Hope the video helps in your guitar journey!

Thanks Tmantoronto :) Glad you're enjoying the videos :)
Hi James, I took your lesson on my old guitar and now I noticed that 2 days ago I accidentally bought the same guitar that you use in the video:D Where does this model rank in your collection? I also ordered a Fender Player Tele in BTB which arrives in 3-4 weeks. The only thing I have left to do now is to get closer to your level of playing;)
Hi Marvin. Do you mean acoustic guitar? I’ve only ever had one acoustic which is the takamine you see in all the acoustic Bruce lessons. The fender player series are so so good! Nice one on that purchase. I’ve upgraded the pickups to Joe Barden Gatton T style picks ups. But to be fair the original fender player pickups are fantastic. So you’ve done well
@@BruceGuitar Yeah I mean your Takamine. That's great to hear! Can't wait for it to arrive and try it out with one of your lessons!
@@marvinachenbach4883 awesome Marvin. Yes Takamine’s are great. Think Bruce’s takamine is a bit out of my budget, that would be cool in the future though!
What strings do you use on your takamine?
Connors’ Rockin’ Collection Hi Connor! I’ve started using NYXL strings now as they seem to last a lot longer!
Shame about the Patreon barrier, looked like a good lesson, seeya :-)
Hi Steve I moved from Patreon to Subscribestar about 3 years ago. Happy to answer any questions thanks!
