Hope u learned it man, it really is easier than it looks, after I changed to the dm/C# finger position to something that was easier for me, made it a breeze to practice and get down
You know this was the song my first wife and I chose for our wedding. I wish we could do it justice with an appropriate waltz dance or something. We were all robbed by his early departure. I can only imagine how many beautiful hits he would have delivered on par with this! And maybe even better! Love the N4N ear you have and share with us because this song is PERFECT just as he played it with his sideman. Thanks for delivering this in an easy way to absorb.
Thanks very much KP!! This song was a great choice for your wedding. Beautiful love song. And yes, Jim's death was a sudden and shocking loss that stopped the production line. Thankfully his legacy lives on, with an amazing group of acoustic songs written over a relatively short time span.
Oh my gosh, this is so hard for my tiny, weirdly jointed pinky, but this is my new favorite song, and I want to play it so bad! Hope I can do it someday.
I'm learning this to surprise my dad since this in one of his favorite songs! Thanks to this i found your channel and found a goldmine of finger-style tutorials! Thank you for the tutorial good sir, you're a really good teacher and the chord diagrams helped out loads! Wish you all the joy!
I struggle with this too. As a novice, I prefer to finger pick with my classical guitar as the strings are further apart so easier to avoid mistakes and touch other strings with my fat fingers, unless I'm playing a song with Dm/C#, where I use an acoustic guitar as mine has strings slightly closer together, which makes it easier to make the shape!
Hello again Dave. Heard this classic just the other day on my 'go-to' AM radio station. He was such a great singer/songwriter/guitarist. Would love to cover one of his songs but his voice is difficult for me to justify a cover. 🙄 Who knows . . . . maybe one day! 🤷🏻♂ 🙏 Anywho . . . . a great tutorial Dave . . . . your playing and vocals are just beautiful Mate. 🎸 🎤 🎧 👌
Can anybody tell me why during the the 1st verse the strumming pattern on the 3rd beat is B/e what string are you supposed to play also in the verse the chords before the first friend there are blue box’s with o’s (🅾️ blue instead of red) what do they mean
I am teaching the Jim Croce guitar part. In Jim's original studio recording, a second guitar part is layered on, producing the full effect. The original stereo recording has Jim's main guitar panned completely to one side, and the 2nd. guitar part is panned to the other side. So, if you have the capability to pan to check this out, you can hear the two parts separately. This lesson is meant to teach a solo guitar player that may want to sing along to it, so yes my video is demonstrating a simplified version. Thanks, you comment will probably help others that read this.
@@DOBacousticguitar really appreciate your reply, I've found I guy that combines the lead guitar intro with the ritmic so I can get a similar sound by myself
Finally got it, took me a week.
The lesson is just what i wanted.
Condensed raw information.
Glad it helped!
Looks difficult as hell, but i know that with practice i can learn this amazing song

Did you manage? Hope so, it's actually easier then it looks, and few parts to learn. But so fun and addictive to play!

@@kekoareed3183 Hi, how did you change the position of the dm#C chord? I do it with great difficulty and I can't find an equivalent.
@@ehnorst have a look at 1:40
It is difficult especially when he stretches those fingers-a genius! Well done, thank you. I’m going to subscribe, I hope you have more Crocs songs!
Thanks for the sub!
Great great tutorial learned it in 2 hours, def worth the time!!
Glad it helped! Thanks very much.
Man I’m 14 and kids my age are really missing out on good music like this. Such an emotionally relatable song. So glad I learned it
Great to hear!
Autotune sucks

Very beautiful guitar and your voice thanks for useful tutorial
Thanks very much!
Great playing, great lesson, and your voice was also actually perfect !
Thanks a lot!
Absolutely insane how you made such a good tutorial that’s so short
I’m definitely learning this
Glad I could help!
Just wonderful, both the song and the lesson.
Thanks very much!
Incredible song and too easy to learn with your teaching style wow! Thanks!👌🏼
My pleasure!
this is exactly what i needed to smooth over what i couldnt learn by tabs. Love the conciseness and simplicity.
Glad it helped! Thanks very much.
Great sounding guitar.
Oh my gosh, this is so hard for my tiny, weirdly jointed pinky, but this is my new favorite song, and I want to play it so bad! Hope I can do it someday.
This took me two weeks but it was so worth the effort tysm for the great toutorial!
I'm very glad to hear it helped you out. Thanks very much!
ผมอายุ 56 ปี กำลังเริ่มคิดจะฝึกเพลงนี้ ความหมายของเพลงนี้คือ สิ่งที่ขาดหายไปในชีวิตของฉัน *รักทุกคน* frome thailand
Thank you. Enjoy learning this song.
I'm learning this to surprise my dad since this in one of his favorite songs! Thanks to this i found your channel and found a goldmine of finger-style tutorials!
Thank you for the tutorial good sir, you're a really good teacher and the chord diagrams helped out loads! Wish you all the joy!
That's awesome! Glad this helps!
Thanks! My boyfriend of 2 years loves this. It’s our song ❤ gonna learn it for him
You are very welcome!
This is awesome and just what I needed to push me in the right direction on playing this song.
Great to hear, thanks very much!
Very good teacher!
Thanks again for you kind comments!
Thank you so much, it's a tricky but beautiful tune and well worth the effort thanks again.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much. Wonderful tutorial!🙏
Such great voice too!
You're very welcome! Thanks for the positive comments!
❤ Yeah your vid had me on it in 15 mins ❤
watched about 3 others for over an hour 😅
great break down❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Forever such a beautiful song! ❤ TY! Funny I can play by ear on a keyboard/ piano. Guitar playing not easy. 😊
You are very welcome, and I agree its a beautiful song!
Dm/C# seems impossible for me... I just cant reach the string with my pinky 😢
I struggle with this too. As a novice, I prefer to finger pick with my classical guitar as the strings are further apart so easier to avoid mistakes and touch other strings with my fat fingers, unless I'm playing a song with Dm/C#, where I use an acoustic guitar as mine has strings slightly closer together, which makes it easier to make the shape!
I’ve been practicing for about two weeks and I’ve tried different things but I’m at a point where most times all the strings ring nicely. Keep going
Great lesson / tuition sir 👍
I'm trying to learn this...😊
Thanks very much!
I finally managed to learn this beautiful piece, you are a very good teacher
Thanks for helping me
❤
Wonderful! You are very welcome.
Thank you ❤…please more Croce songs..thank you ❤..
You're very welcome!
Thanks! This is very helpful.
You're very welcome!

Thanks very much John!! I hope you do a Croce cover some day, would love to hear it!!
All good Dave. 🤞😊
Muchas gracias saludos desde Santiago de Chile
You are very welcome!
você é muito bom rapaz
Thanks very much!
Just finding your tutorials. This is excellent. Question, have you transcribed You Are So Beautiful, by Joe Cocker, for guitar?
I have not transcribed it, but thanks very much, and glad you appreciate this channel!
Can anybody tell me why during the the 1st verse the strumming pattern on the 3rd beat is B/e what string are you supposed to play
also in the verse the chords before the first friend there are blue box’s with o’s (🅾️ blue instead of red) what do they mean
B/e = second and first strings picked at the same time; blue o = open string
@@DOBacousticguitar thanks man great tutorial only started guitar a week ago and its one of my favourite songs i can finally play most of it
Excellent thx you 👏
Thanks very much!
Thank much bro
You're very welcome!
It’s like blackbird. Am I the only one who sees the similarity?
Hey, it's a nice video but the piking pattern of the intro doesn't sound nearly as the original, in fact it sound like a simplified and boring version
