Justin thanks for this, I played badly years ago and gave up, I was messing around with some simple chords and mistakenly waked in the D and G by picking badly and thought thats sounded like REM, and then came hunting and found your lessons, you have inspired me to pick my guitar back up at 53- I learned enough in 30 mins with your lesson to get me hooked again, going to buy new strings tomorrow- LOL Brilliant loads of respect to you Justin.....
Hi Justin... Thanks a lot for your songs... I'm now 55 years old and I used to play guitar as young and now I'm enjoying more than ever thanks among other things to your lessons... I heartle thank you... I love Neil Young...
Hey Justin, great lesson. (Long time viewer of your lessons. I have huge respect for what you do) I was directed here because I've just uploaded a finger style instrumental of this song and some of my subscribers thought I learnt it from you. I told them it was just coincidence and "great minds upload a like". Keep on playing bud and I hope you're enjoying those new digs. Drue.
Justin and Marty both I follow both of your lessons, both are awesome teachers I wish that I had folks like you two teaching me when I was a kid. Marty you have brought My version of wish you were here to a level that I can now play it out. And Justin you as well as Marty are adding songs to my 1960's reputar . I am having a real hard time figuring the bridge to Everybody hurts though is it in your song book?
Brilliant..following you for years. Started playing 7 years ago...and you taught me how to play! I am in my second professional band! Love this song. Many thanks.
Justin I am so happy to hear that you don't anchor your little finger. I lost my middle finger in a saw accident and so I have to use my little finger for the high E. it has been hard to give up that little anchor.
I’m here because I’m doing module 11 on the website. I did your lesson and it was very fun, I didn’t think I would’ve enjoyed fingerstyle this much :D I’ve always been focused on strumming.
Thanks a million for this lesson Justin. I used to listen to this song when i was younger and couldn't understand english. I just watched Pink and Kelly singing in the American music award last week and decided to play it. It was so easy to learn from you.
+Ry Naylor Guitar Don't be like that! (kidding, sorta). I'm a bad guitar student with 7 years experience and I have learned what I know here on TH-cam watching a number of different approaches to instruction. I seem to do better if I watch different teaching techniques. I always pick up some little thing from each instructor session. I just subscribed to your channel too! I appreciate your honesty regarding Justin's skills as a player and an instructor. I've been following him for years now!
+downhill240 Thanks for the comment and subscribing to my channel. I might have to do a tutorial on this song then. Although I don't tend to do tutorials on songs after having watched someone else do it. It colours how I might approach it. The only thing I would probably add to this would be using a pick for the patterns (which I think is done in the original). I'm a huge fan of Justin's and he's a bit of an TH-cam idol for me. I've learnt so much from him for my own playing but especially with my teaching ideas. Much respect.
Thanks Justin! I'm out performing now, and doing quite well...but THIS song? NO room for scew ups!! It means too much to so many...So I'm really buckling down on this one...
Great lesson and a great song to learn! I really enjoy learning from your Beginner's Songbook volume 2 and these videos really bring it all together. Thanks for the lesson!
Just curious. 6 years later how did the journey to learning this song go for you? I'm 62, and I'm bound and determined, with Justin's help to learn it too. It's a beautiful song.
Like everything, practice, practice. If a person does something for 18 minutes a day ,in one year you will know more about that subject than 95% of the population. If that's not encouraging I don't what is.18 minutes a day is nothing.
Thank you Justin… Such a beautiful Song, such a great and insightful lesson! This Song has so much feeling… and your lessons have that same feel! You are an outstanding Guitarist and Guitar Teacher! 🎸🎶
Thanks for uploading this one, Justin; and for adding the more complex parts rather than just a very simple version. Best wishes from Kingston-upon-Thames :-)
Thanks Justin, another great lesson. Doing my best to wait until the new songbook arrives before learning all these new tunes, but I couldn't resist having 10 minutes going back and forth between the D and G.
Thanks, Justin. I've been looking for something like this. I've been finger picking this way for over ....25 years+. Not really applying this to any song but work with C, D, G or if I'm brave I'll do C, D, G then add A and E. Been looking into and practising blues fingering, Delta Tx blues and Piedmont blues. Having problems with my little finger hitting that sixth fret when playing the A chord. Also been practising with a Herco thumb pick, still getting used to this little bugger. Once I get this down I hope to share what I can do with you on youtube. Larry
Thanks Justin. I've passed this level a while ago, but it was fun playing along with you in the beginning. :) It's a great and fun song to play for the people just starting out.
+The Kobayagi same here :D yeah i remember the time when i started playing simple E G D C pattern and it was the hardest thing on earth to get fast chord changes haha
I don't know how you do it but it keeps happening: I start to learn something in my guitar class, and the next thing, you post a lesson! Very timely an very helpful, thank you!
Great lesson! I don't stress about matching the original (which I could never do as a solo performer anyway, let alone rank amateur). And tend to use a totally different pattern for triplets.
Lovely lesson. I've been really trying to work on improving the precision of my picking with a pick (as opposed to finger picking). Do you think it would be crazy to try to learn to play this song that way?
nice job for those who want to know, but I love playing it with my pick, I get a real nice crisp sound, you do need to learn how to pick it under control as you pick up and down the strings, your finger style was very nice tho, no doubt!!!! but for those who are learning, the pick is something you may want to try, plus its a great song to practice on controlling that pick. but you did a GREAT job as ALWAYS with your great Guitar lessons..thank you.
quick question at 14:50. what if you play say an F, or a dm (starting with the thumb on the 4th string): would you play a kind of standard thumb, 1,2,3,2,1 or is there anything better? Cheers for all your fantastic stuff!
Thank you Justin! I am an absolute newbie in this guitar/music world, but I really enjoy your lessons! You have done such an amazing job with these yourube channels and your website! Thank you very much! As I am going through the Basic Course on your website atm, I am still watching some of those videos for "later-on" - it kinda keeps my motivation to keep playing inspite of current results .. I was wondering if you have considered covering another great song of R.E.M - Loosing my religion? Thanks very much once again..
everytime i play this song my mother cries her eyes out... Her brother use to play it for her when she was younger.... And then he died... so yeah keeping music in my fam... thanks for teaching us this Justin... can you please teach us November Rain GnR?
Hey Justin, thank you for this fantastic lesson - it is, as you said, great fun to start with picking! It could only be better if you would have played the hole song in the intro , so it would be more easy to learn how to play and place the bridge - also it would be a super track to learn while playing along!
Thanks for a great lesson again. I love your voice sooo much to that beautiful song, sounds so calm and soothing to me. Couldn't you record a whole cover please? :)

honestly they should collab on a song
Drew Justin two greats together
Thank you Justin!
I have been looking for a slow song to practice my finger picking and my singing with a song. This is perfect!👍
Thank you Justin! Having started playing ukulele before guitar, I find it easier to learn fingerstyle songs, and this is just what I was looking for.
Brilliant..following you for years. Started playing 7 years ago...and you taught me how to play! I am in my second professional band! Love this song. Many thanks.
R.E.M., one of my favorite groups. Excellent lessons here!

Fantastic lesson, as usual! You seem to give lessons for all the songs I love :)
Thanks Justin. Great Lesson for a beautiful melody. The finger-style really makes the song. The subtle imbelishments (walk down) are also profound.
Was going to do a lesson on this song. Don't think I'll bother now, couldn't do it any better than this! Great lesson.
