I love Shane's style, does not get wrapped around showing how good he is but rather focusing on how the student can actually play the song. Many guitarist are more interested in their talents rather than helping the student. Great Job Shane!!
Thank you Roger - greatly appreciated!
Shane
Ain't that the truth! Shane is not out to dazzle the viewer. He's trying to teach how one can get to the next level.
Great instructor! Cheers, Dave.
I totally agree. What a breath of fresh air.
I like the way you sympathize with what a beginner goes through while attempting this stuff.
Thank you Isaiah - I appreciate you taking the time to write. My best to you, Shane
Lots of people are good at things but it’s rare that someone is also good at teaching. Thank you for sharing both talents with us'!
Thank you C One - what a great comment to receive - really makes my day. My very best to you and hope you have fun with it! Happy New Year!

Thank you, Shane, for all you do for us guitar hacks. I'm learning so much from you, especially strumming patterns, and timing. You remind me of a "favorite uncle." Cheers! :)
Ha! Thanks for that - really appreciate it and I'm very glad these videos are helping!

That's great Mark - hope you're having fun with it!
Shane
You sir are an excellent teacher. Thanks for the lesson
Thank you Romeo! Shane
This is awesome, love it. Thank you!
Thanks Chris! Shane
I only needed 10 seconds to decide your video is much more detailed than most other ones on this song out there. You have a new fan!
A big thank you - great to have you with us!
Shane
I agree with Roger. I'm a beginner turning intermediate and your style is perfect for me. i like when you keep going over certain points and get close ups of strings and picking or chords. Also when you play the song at the right beat just to give a sense of what is trying to be achieved is great because your not showing off. I flip between you and Marty Music mostly for help. Much appreciated. Your teaching...not showing off.
Thank you Scott - what a great comment to receive - much appreciated and very glad to have you with us here. Cheers!
Shane
Great channel. Also cool you are from my home town. Grew up just south of Ottawa.
Great lesson as always, love this song since I was a kid. If only I could play a harmonica too. Lol
great teacher.
Thanks Sheldon - really appreciate it!
Shane
Thank you so much for this Shane. I have awful problems learning strumming patterns (yes, I know - I'm a complete Numpty! ) but you've made it so easy to follow, even I've picked it up on the first try. You're a wonderful teacher.
Thank you Alison - so great to hear that. Glad to have you here with us!
Shane
Very Nice lesson...Right on!!!!
Thank you David - much appreciated and glad to have you with us!
Shane
And thank you are my favorite online teacher.
Thank you Alex - I really appreciate that!
Shane
I have been binging your videos this morning. Great way to spend the morning. Just got my 1965 Gibson j 45 back from the shop. Thanks for your teaching
Thank you Eric - so great to hear that. Wow a 1965 Gibson? Super! Enjoy - and always glad to have you here. Cheers, Shane
@@GuitarAtWork yep, my grandpa gave it to me not knowing what he had gifted me. It’s nice.

Glad it's working for you Max - happy to have you here and hope it's going well. Cheers, Shane
Brilliant best teaching and very well explain .welldone to you .give credit where its Jew .I can't wait to see all your other stuff you you teach in the same way .Good man like you to keep that way I understand down to a t .🎸🎤💯👍🙏💯
Very good theacher he puts you in the same ball park as him from the start 👍
I have been watching tons of online guitar teacher, Shane is definitely the best one. You are the only one talking about strumming pattern, rhythm and little things that make the song recognisable and therefor pleasant to play. Your songsheets are so helpful !!! Please keep up the good work.
Cheers !
A big thank you Ulysse - I really appreciate your encouraging words and am very happy that this channel has helped you. Glad to have you with us!
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork please do a video for one of Jason Isbell's song...........
Good suggestion Ulysse - thank you!
Shane
WOW 😮 What great kind Guy!
I emailed Shane and asked for the Chords so I can practice after watching the video. I was comfortable to pay via Paypal and Shane sent me the Chord sheet free of charge. Many thanks Shane! Best wishes Ray
My pleasure Ray - hope you enjoy. I'm not setup to charge anything for the sheets so happy to send them off to anyone who emails. You can get me through my website at www.shanesimpson.com and hit the contact button there. I do not collect or otherwise abuse emails. Cheers! Shane
Cheers Shane got me playing guitar again , keep up the good work.

Thanks for this video bro...great guitar lesson
Thank you Pro - much appreciated and I hope you're having fun with it!
Shane
“G” harp. Great lesson as always! ✌🏻🇺🇸
I am new at using Utube for learning the guitar but I love the way that Shane is teaching. I was wondering there is talk about your work sheets and wondered how to I arrange to get these work sheets
Hi Doug - Thank you for your message - happy to send you sheets if you email from my website at www.shanesimpson.com - there is a contact button there - no need to fill in all the info - all good. No charge happy to send. I have to figure out how to make the sheets downloadable, am doing it this way until then. I do not collect or otherwise abuse email addresses. Cheers,
Shane
Shane thanks and so glad I found you. Im moving on really well since watch just a few of your lessons. Your teaching method is really good... Best regards Dave T UK
Thank you Dave - very glad to have you with us - best to you!
Shane
David Thompson good luck buddy.
Thank You Shane started to play again after 20 years
Fabulous Michael - that is great to hear. Hope you have fun at it and find the videos helpful - cheers!
Shane
Shane, I come back to your videos all the time. I'm progressing enough where I can play some intermediate tunes that you've made available. I have a question on Taylor acoustic guitars. My budget is around $800 can you recommend a Taylor model? I notice how full the Taylor you play sounds compared to my Alvarez acoustic. Any advice is appreciated thanks.
Love your work, really! I've learned a lot from you. However, it would be nice to hear/see. the song before the tutorial to know if it is one I actually want to learn. Just a thought :-)
Thanks for that - much appreciated and good suggestion too. Cheers!
Shane
Thank you for your time. Everytime i am looking for a certain song to learn how to play as soon as see your face and give up my search. You are an awesome teacher...and so passionate. I am not sure it is improper to ask you to please to consider the song by Mr Bob Dylan blood in my eyes...i would appreciate very much...Joseph from South Africa!!1
Thank you Joseph - what a great comment to receive - really makes my day - great song suggestion and I'm very happy to have you here with us - Best from Canada!
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork Thank you Sir! Awesome news.you the best thanks again... humility before honour
Great lesson Shane...But this one is a tough haul for campfire playing, unless someone has a harmonica and knows the track. Beyond that legendary intro, the song gets lost with just a guitar...Happy New Year.
It's a great one Matt - if you vary the right hand pattern and bring the dynamics up and down you can definitely do a campfire version and keep it interesting.
Cheers!
Shane
I like your style and choices of songs. I think I'll need to become a member. Are you still running the program?
Hey hi....
Yes ... Beautiful 🎵song...
Thanks for sharing this video..
Enjoyed learning this song🎵
Do keep posting..
Muchas Gracias
The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
Thanks Daniel - my best to you and I appreciate your comment. Cheers!
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork Thanks to you Shane.. I have started playing again..
And learning more songs🎵..
Thanks once again..
Greatly enjoy your site. Easy to understand and transfer to practice. Great job. What model of Taylor guitar are you using on the Heart of Gold video? I play a CE214 and love the sound you get on the video.
It appears to be an 814CE
Shane how about a lesson Cinnamon Girl. Best Young song ever. IMO
great video again you are the best by far on you tube steve {England ]
A big thank you Steve - really appreciate that - all the best and have fun with it!
Shane
Long sleeve on just your right arm...I get it. 👍
For sure...I can't play in a short sleeve shirt - I don't like my right arm sticking to the guitar.
Shane
Hi Shane. Thank you for the vids. I'd really like to know what Taylor model you are playing? Thanks for a reply.
Chuck.
Thank you Charles - glad to have you with us. it's an 814CE - Great guitar.
Cheers!
Shane
Hey Shane. I really enjoy your videos and attention to detail. I was looking for a tutorial on 'Old Man' by Neil Young but haven't found one yet that I can play. Perhaps you would consider this classic at some point. Thanks. GP
Great suggestion Guitar Pilot - thank you for that and glad you are enjoying this channel!
Shane
Agree with everything. Keep rocking Shane.
Shane what do you have your guitar plugged into?
Wish you were here
Siomply: The Best
Thank you Ferdinand - my best to you, Shane
Very good lesson..except u didn't include the outro..where it goes back and forth between E minor and D...where Neil sings..you keep me searching for a Heart of Gold. You keep me Searching and I'm growing old...and goes to C then walks down to end on G
How do I get the music sheets you are looking at?
Hi Joe - sorry for any confusion - if you go to shanesimpson.com about halfway down the page look for a red button that says 'Download Guitar At Work Songsheets' - that will bring you to a few folders and you can browse around and download no problem. If you have any trouble just email directly from the website and I'll send them to you right away.
Cheers!
Shane
Hi Shane Love your lessons But I am a vocalist and find it hard to believe that all these lessons given by you and lots of other teachers cannot sing along with these songs. What is it with great guitarists that cannot sing??
Can’t find the song sheet for this one on Patreon…
Hi John - it’s there - look for posts made Oct 30, 2021
Cheers! Shane
How do I get the sheet music you are reading ?
Just sent it to you last night Alex - Cheers!
Shane
Goes with G harp. ✌🏻🇺🇸
I need to work on my loosy goosy
Loosy goose is important!
Shane
👏💯🇮🇪
What Taylor model is that sir?
Hi Justin - it's an 814CE. Cheers,
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork ty sir! It sounds awesome!! I have the 214ce. I’m gonna need to go buy one like yours!! You play great sir! Ty for doing the lessons you do!
i enjoyed the lesson....however you missed the outro
The outro is the same as the intro Em7 / D / Em / riff
@@danfoley4989 thank you
U must have tattoos on your right arm lol
Ha! It probably appears that way - I wear that crazy sleeve on my right arm because I can't play in a short sleeve shirt....I need to be able to move my arm around freely while strumming.....I find I stick to the guitar if I don't have a sleeve on.
Cheers!
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork hey thks for your lessons buddy
I just think you should play the song first so I can hear how it's played, then go to teaching
Thanks Russell - some like that and some don't - appreciate your feedback and Happy New Year!
Shane
Not good for beginners.
