Man, I’ve been playing guitar (recreational) for about 21 years... Never have I ever seen someone teach a song this good. The way you embrace obvious mistakes while learning the picking pattern (hitting the wrong string, but just keep playing cause it will sound good), I just wish you were on youtube back in ‘99. Big thumbs up, I’m subscribing :)
Good at the teaching,
Good songs tae,
A big thank you! Shane
Honestly, you're lessons are blowing my mind. So many little tips and tricks. Love it.
Thank you Nathan - sorry for a slow reply. My best to you and hope you’re having fun with it. Cheers, Shane
Been watching lessons on TH-cam casually for 13 years - this is the best I've ever seen.
A big thank you for that. My best to you. Shane
I’ve seen multiple other lessons on this, but really confusing because they didn’t identify the chords, but rather single notes. Now I can just know the pattern and play the chords. Bravo Shane. Plus I am a permanent member of your Patreon because I believe in supporting a creator.
Can you put part of this into a looper and play the lead on top of the flat picking part?
It's not one little guitar if played by a great player like yourself. I'm not there yet, but I keep practicing. Thanks for the help.
A big thank you for that - much appreciated - Cheers!
Shane
You make it seem easy. Your enthusiasm and positive vibes are really contagious. Really inspiring tutoring. Many thanks again.
Thank you. Happy to have you here with us. Cheers! Shane
great tip on resting the picking palm on bridge. for years I've used my pinky finger and it is not as stable (and gets sore).
What model Taylor is that? I just bought a 324 v-class AND LOVE IT!!!
Great Song , Awesome Lesson . Taught in a way almost anyone can understand . I have learned a lot from your wonderful Lessons . And i want to Thank You so Darn Much for getting me interested in Guitar again . I'm actually enjoying it .
Hey Dave - thanks for that - so great to hear! All my best to you on your guitar journey and I hope you enjoy the ride. Cheers!
Shane
You're the Best!!! Thanks so much for another great lesson!!
This was fun spent a good part of a sunday just learning all the differant parts. I did drop guitar down a half step. Thank You again :)
Hi Shane, I am unable to find the sheet music for Simple Man- Love the lesson. I will reach out soon for Skype lesson as I am down here in Sunny Florida. keep up the great work- Jeff B
There ain’t NO WAY that G string will ring with me fretting a C chord. I’ve been trying for months to not mute the G and D string while fretting a C chord. My middle finger actually contacts three strings at once.
I'm a beginner myself, but one thing you might be able to try is moving your middle finger up toward the A string a little bit. It doesn't matter if it touches the A string during the C chord because you are fretting it with your ring finger in the third fret anyway. See if that helps!
Can you teach house of the rising sun
Shane why wouldn’t you fingerpick this song?
TH-cam is full of teachers. Some really good. Came across this today and as a beginner find you are amazing. FANTASTIC!
Are you Canadian cause you say aboot, we ulster_scots say that 😉
Ha! Yessir - Canuck through and through. Cheers!
Shane

Kevin O'Rourke
Thanks Kevin - I really appreciate your comment - I always have fun doing these videos and am super glad you enjoy!
Shane
Dang it Shane, you are all up in my head! I was driving home from work yesterday and Simple Man came on the radio. I thought to myself: “hmmm... does Shane have a class on this coz i’d sure love to be able to play that for my Mom!”
(Glad to see you are getting major ads! Hope the money is following as well. You and the Mrs. stay healthy)
Ha! Thanks Jerome - that's so great! Hope you have fun with it - Cheers!
Shane
Even though that's way beyond my skill level, that was a great lesson. Love Skynyrd for sure. Thanks & keep up the great work...........👍👍🎸🎸👏👏😉😉😷😷
Thank you Steve - always appreciate your comments - hope all is well and that you are having fun with it!
Shane
One of the best guitar teachers on TH-cam. Thanks!
Another great tutorial Shane. Quick question love GnR Patience great acoustic piece every time I see someone okay it they are playing both guitar parts. I was wondering if you could do solo campfire version? Just a thought. Kind regards......
Very pedagogical and clear instructions. The soothing voice and positive vibe reminds me a lot of Bob Ross. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for that - I have always loved Bob Ross - I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and for your encouragement. Cheers!
Shane

Hi Curtis - I'm using Elixir HD light. Phosphor/Bronze. Love them - great strings. Cheers,
Shane

Shane
Cool 😎 Thanks
Great! Thanks a lot from Sweden! Very good lesson! Agree this is, the Best!
Thank you Bjorn - glad you enjoyed. My best to you! 🇨🇦
I like to know being a poor musician meaning out of funds $$ how can someone like me record from home ?
If you try to play to the studio recording just a heads up that on the studio recording the guitars are tuned down a half step. Other than that a great lesson.
Hi Shane.
I was doing without my speaker cabinet because it's too noisy. But I came across a head phone splitter to hear myself in stereo. It's the best.
Could you go over loop petals and strumming on this song? Or song sheets? Thanks
Excellent. Thanks Brian - you can grab song sheets for this song and MANY more at patreon.com/guitaratwork
Cheers!
Shane
Another great video, you’ve been busy this summer. Yea Shane
Thank you Johnnyman! Always good to hear from you - Will be fun to be back at it with you in Sept!
Shane
Man looking at many guitar store and could not buy the picks that you using.
Ah - darnit. I haven't had any trouble finding them here. Keep on looking. Cheers Shane
@@GuitarAtWork smart reply , “ they all laughed at me because I’m different, and laughed at them because they’re all the same “

If you try to play to the studio recording a heads up that the guitars on the studio recording are tuned down half a step. Other than that a great lesson.

Thank you
Great lesson and song choice Shane! Hope you're keeping safe
So great to hear from Crazy! Hope all is well - all good here - will be fun to see you again!
Shane
The 2nd time on Am before adding pinkey to high E, is it A,G,D,A, and then High E with pinky and then B. Or is it A,G,D,A,B,G,D and then pinky on high E, B
Living in the states, Michigan now,Tn.,Ga,GA, the past,having grandparents from the southern U.S.,I know alot of Southern Rock tunes.
Listened to it for years.
Close to my heart and soul. I don't know if hearing it for years and trying to play it on guitar later make a difference in dynamics, but it seems so.Not as mechanical,.
A good classic tune,to learn, none the less,Sir Shane.
I hope you understood that and spellchecker interruptions
I have been hoping you would do "Simple Man" for a video! Keep rockin' it!!!
Thank you Clair - my best to you and I hope you get that Martin back soon!
Shane
I only had to see the first 4 in bar 1 and knew he was really good
Thank you Debra - greatly appreciated! Shane
Love it when Shane comes out with something to help me clean up my self taught habits!
A big thank you Matthew - I really appreciate it. Glad to have you here with us!
Shane

Thank you Mark - hope you're having fun with it. Cheers, Shane

How about Crystal Ball By Styx
Great suggestion. Thank you! Shane
Awesome lesson. 1,200 likes and over 34,000 views. Yet 20 people decide that for some reason it makes sense to go ahead and hit that thumbs down button. WTF?
I thought that song is done in E flat tuning? Enjoy your lessons
Thank you, excellent as usual.

Greetings from Germany
Hi - it’s pronounced Leh’nrd Skynrd - not Lin-rd...in respect for Ronnie et al...
This was such a simple and easy way to teach this song. Great job! You have a new subscriber/fan. Looking forward to more lessons.
Sounds like someone needs a good setup. That buzz... :)
A little buzz for sure. High humidity around here. Cheers,
Shane
I wish I had you as a guitar teacher growing up the ones I paid either gave up on me with no explanation as why water my time and didn’t teach me what I wanted or the song in it’s entirety. Thanks for posting I’m learning a lot of songs I’ve wanted to since I was 16
I'm getting a lot out of your lessons Shane. Thank-you. Just a suggestion though that I know I would appreciate hearing. i would like you to play the whole song once through , either at the beginning of your lesson or at the end. I really think it would give us a chance to play along with you as we grow with your lesson.
What kind of strings do you use?
Keep up the videos -- love your teaching!
Thank you Leonard, very glad to have you here with us. Cheers, Shane
Tremendous lesson
Thank you Joe. Cheers! Shane
love how you explain things and clearly we are of an age as I love your song selection, all ones I grew up with, but didn't start playing guitar until I was older. Really enjoying your videos
great job!!!!
Thank you Dale - Glad to have you here! Shane
Thank you for the lesson.
Thank you
Thank you Sam and I really hope you're having fun with it. Best to you, Shane
Sir please do a lesson on thron tree in the garden by derek and the Dominos please
You’re the man Shane! Love all your videos, so easy to follow and learn. Any chance you could do Old Man by Neil Young? Thanks so much for all the content you release!
Fantastic, can’t wait to try this. Great breakdown thanks 🎸👍
your a great teacher mate thanks for putting the time in for us beginners
