[@scorchedearthdj]

This is the best lesson for this song online. Thank you. I've watched this video at least a dozen times now.

[@thomasalbert6385]

This should have way more then you 1,9k views.. best version on youtube! Amazing , ty! Can't wait to play this as smooth as you do 🙏😊

[@MTGuitar]

Well thank you! :) Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure you'll get this smooth with time, good luck!

[@arthurriley5856]

Dude, that was one of the best tutorials I've watched. Excellent playing, vocals, and a very clear lesson altogether .

[@mikehoward5049]

Very clear, and it really helped to hear you sing along to show how the guitar fits into the words. I like the chords between fills if you're not playing with a rhythm guitarist or using a looper. Appreciate all the fills that the other sites don't show.

Tengo que ser honesto toco la guitarra pero al verte tocar la guitarra y cantar se ve muy orgánico muy real algo que no ves mucho en el internet todo es grabar y procesar en laptop el tuyo fue demasiado real Hernano te felicito me transmites !! Saludos from Venezuelan

[@MTGuitar]

Thanks a bunch! That's great to hear :)

[@tunes20777]

Great lesson - thanks for the break down

[@MTGuitar]

Thanks Blair, you're welcome.

[@tunes20777]

Wondering what you have on the loop pedal when that comes in. Is it Am, F, E? Or does it cover more ?

[@MTGuitar]

@@tunes20777 When the looper pedal comes in, it's Am, F, E. That goes on for a while until the lyrics go "I hear you whispering.." in which case I go to Dm, Dm/C Bm, the looper keeps going there to allow me to play those lead fills.

[@leodagan7438]

E/G# E/ G# = E,G# B , E

[@turntogod4410]

I know you encourage to use our own improvisation but could you do a lesson on the solo bit you played at the end? I like your version

[@iggy9955]

Awesome man but little bit sensitive. I play 51y and i have ear for this.
