Hello friends,
and welcome to another by request song tutorial! In this session I'll be breaking down Cat Stevens 1970 classic "Father and Son." I'll take you through a bit of music theory to discover the chord progressions, and strumming options for the verses, and also break down some of Cat's signature licks and tricks. Let's get started!

Don't know why anyone would down vote this, awesome job! Cat Stevens was always one of my favorite musicians growing up. Thanks for making the video!
I guess some people don't like Cat Stevens haha? That's fine, you can't ever expect to please everyone. So glad you're happy with this one, expect some more Cat in the near future! -Rob

Dis song is emotional for me I will always remember yondu
Another incredible lesson -so detailed- your lessons are so complete. Everything including strumming patterns- music theory- vocals- and all the little signature licks. This is the best lesson by far-I really wanna learn that solo I think I saw you have a lesson for that
I love how detailed and clear you teach; it helps me a lot. Thank you.

When u forget to buy ur dad a Father’s Day gift but own a guitar
hahahah
Superb rendition, and equally superb lesson, Thank you Robbie for helping this humble guitar scratcher. Cheers

Hi Rob. Love your tutorials. This is the second and I’m truly grateful. One comment to consider for next time. The in-verse lick, I think you call it Lick 1, off the D chord. At about 11:30...you go through that pretty quick and it took me a while of rewinding, stopping, rewinding, to figure out what you’re doing. My request is, anything with finger picking, Go Really Slowly. You just need to do it once, but Do It Slowly. It will not take you longer and it will save me and maybe others frustration. Thanks for these amazing tutorials. And I find your musical talents a bonus.

Tremendous rendition and super dynamic vocals! Thank you
I heartily agree Jeff, Rob’s vocals certainly caught my attention. I was a typical young, rebellious college student who identified quite closely with this song. Finding this tutorial on TH-cam threw me back 50 years, and to a specific point in my life. Not too proud to admit to the eerie emotions this song dredged from my memories of a half century ago.
Excellent....this song is very important to me and to be able to play it myself would be awesome. A brilliant tutorial😁😁😁😁😁.Thank you!
Hi, I just found this video. Dude, you got a great voice. I play a tiny bit and want to learn more, so thank you for your time. Amazing voice man.
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Love to play and sing this one. Now I will be even more confident and sound better. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Another great lesson 😊. This is such a beautiful song- gonna start practicing this one for Father’s Day
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Sounds fantastic guitar and vocals! Tea for the Tillerman what a timeless album! I really love your TH-cam channel. The performances are always polished, plus the breakdown and theory👍🇨🇦
Darling friend, very very good for you examples in guitar, extraordinary song of Cats…, thanks of here country 🇨🇱👏👏
Thank you man for what you do. Thanks to you I learnt a lot and made real progress in playing. You are a very good teacher - thank you for patience and detailed and slow breakdowns.
Stevens you is simplyci the best!!!! Thank my friend
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Very well done and great to listen to. Song was on the first album I owned back in71. Rock on!
Hey Mike, thanks so much for the positive feedback. Great tune, and an amazing record. I too grew up with these songs, that's the benefit of having a father with an awesome record collection. Be well and enjoy your practice! -Rob
Thank you so much for your work. You are a very clear teacher, I'm learning a lot from you !
Glad to hear it Camille! It's a great pleasure to contribute to so many peoples progress. Many more lessons are on the way both here and at Patreon.com/Swiftlessons. Be well and enjoy your practice. -Rob
Camille Moch ditto
Searched so many tutorials for this song and this one is simply amazing.. It is complete and easy to learn when you teach. Hats off to u man ... Thanks alot!!!
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
He plays in wrong in places.
I've been wanting to learn this one for the vocals. Thanks.
My pleasure! This is a fun one for the voice, as you get to work both ends of your range. I need a few more days to get comfortable with the lower octave parts, but little by little I can feel my voice adjusting. Enjoy!
Came for a quick chord progression..
Stayed for an amazing voice........
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Hi and thanks for ALL your tutorials. Love it. Have learned so much. Please post the lead part ASAP. Thanks 👍🏻😬
Getting to work on it now! Thanks for the positive feedback!
Second chord is a D., not a Bm, yet.... On the high part, it's a B minor. Just an observation. I see this a lot when folks play this. If you listen to it, you'll say "Damn, he's right" :-)
I am no expert, but I do see your point. I think I will play it as you suggest!
I don't write comments very well, but I can't help but write comments because I love your playing guitar and song. thank you teaching this song
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
You really an inspiration to all beginners who are determined to learn playing guitars like me. 😊❤ keep it up.
I play this song and it's tough to sing because the vocal begins in the low octave in the key of G which is sung in baritone and then switches into a tenor. It shows you how gifted a vocalist Cat Stevens is.
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Nice vocal. Also like the way you get on and play it through before the breakdown; the "shut up and play" approach. Thanks.
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Damn great voice.. Great tune
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html

th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Very nice
Yes my favorite
Great tutorial, legendary song.
thanks for the step-by-step guide (really helps)
Que linda vos, man.👍
You are playing the bm chord in the verses early. It is only in the chorus
he does this cuz the D/F# is probably a bit advanced of a bar cord. id recommend the D open cord and add the pinky on the f# on the 4th fret
In the original song and when he used to play it live, the 2nd chord is Bm7.
The way you played the song sounds better than the original.
You área awsome i'm from Argentina continue like that thankd
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
I love my second Cousin😄.. Thanks for the chord.
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Superb
Thank you! This is awesome!
Amazing voice...
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
I've been trying to figure out who you sound like, and it's Keanu Reeves. Great tutorials I'm learning lots.
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Personally I preferred the lessons before the vocals, feels more like a performance I like to hear the guitar peice on its own or without a microphone with vocals, but that aside teaching wise very good
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
My favorit song thanks by theach me❤
The best tutorial i have been seen in the web! Congrats!
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Love your tutorials❤
So glad, thanks for the positive feedback!
swiftlessons Can u make a tutorial of how to find chords of any song
Thank you Craig, glad you're digging it! Be sure to put in a request at swiftlessons.com/Request_a_Song. Take care. -Rob
Ah, that's quite the important skill. I'll have to think on it for a while. But I can tell you that a big part of that is knowing which chords are in a key. The rest is using your ear, and learning to recognize the sound and feeling that certain chord changes provide. Thanks for the request!
swiftlessons thnks for thinking about it.and it really means a lot that u replied to me so kindly
Linda música!
I've barely ever commen on youtube and it feels like an empty gesture - at some point I'll try and get my shit together to pay you on patreon - but for now know that I really fucking appreciated this well edited and broken down lesson.
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Nice song! U got good voice
tu es excellent merci frère
Nice...
Excelent
hi friend, good lesson as usual. I'd like if you show us "Tell Me Why" by Neil Young. A wonderful American folk song...Have a nice day
Great lesson, thank you.
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Nice play 👌
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
Lovely playing and singing man. I'd like to hear you do patience by guns and roses 👍
The slide up after the G chord to C chord hammer on is wrong, it should be C to G and C to A. the 'B' note played is wrong.
Play along with the record if you play the B it sticks out like a sore thumb.. Its C...
hey did you ever make the solo video?
Thank you, now I can played :)
th-cam.com/video/XXjN6e-4rko/w-d-xo.html
