Hey everyone! First of all, thank you all so much for your positive feedback and kind words. There is now a complementary playthrough version of this song, where you can play along and see where the different sections fit in. th-cam.com/video/nXvMPTCL_RA/w-d-xo.html After going through the song again for my playthrough version (cover), I noticed a few mistakes I made in this tutorial. Please check the description for those mistakes or go along with the chord progressions from the cover video. Sorry for the inconvenience! You can now follow me on instagram to get sneak peaks into upcoming projects instagram.com/hennarey_tutorials/
Thank you for this! There aren’t many guitar tutorials of Gregory’s songs on youtube and you are one of the very few who explain them in a very clear way!
great video, love this piece and love the way you teach it!! here's a structure of this beautiful song for anyone who was confused San Luis (by Gregory Alan Isakov) Standard tuning (Capo 3) Intro: Em (x2) G C/G (x2) G C/G Em (x2) G C/G (x2) G C/G G (x4) Verse 1: Em (x2) G C/G (x2) G C/G (x4) Chorus: D/A (x2) C/G G (x½) C/G (x4) G C/G G (x2) Humming: Em (x2) G C/G (x2) G C/G Em (x2) G C/G (x2) G C/G G (x4) Verse 2: Em (x2) G C/G (x2) Em (x2) G C/G (x4) Chorus: D/A (x2) C/G G (x½) C/G (x4) x2 Humming: Em (x2) G C/G (x2) G C/G Em (x2) G C/G (x2) G C/G G (x4) Bridge: D/A (x2) C/G (x2) Em G C/G (x4) D/A (x2) C/G (x2) Em G C/G (x2) Em G C/G (x4) Verse 3: Em (x2) G C/G (x2) Em (x2) G C/G (x4) G C/G (x2) G C/G (x4) Outro: D/A (x2) C/G G (x½) C/G (x4) x3 D/A (x2) C/G G (x½) C/G (x8) happy playing :)
OMG.. Thank you sir.. This is precisely how I write down nearly every TH-cam song I learn. IMO, someone that needs this intricate level of instruction is not going to be able to play the song with any level of fluidity unless it's all they are practicing for weeks on end.. I don't mean to criticize, but I am guessing 90% of the people trying to learn this song (who could actually play it) would get so much more of an effective lesson if it was just broken down exactly how you have it. Maybe include the hammer ons passing notes, pull offs (you know, the more challenging parts) etc.. I very much appreciate the lesson, but IMHO, this style actually makes it harder for the vast majority of the viewers to learn and you end up having to simplify it all down to exactly how you have it written here. There are a few Tubers who have figured this out but this style is the rule where it should be the exception.... IMO. I guess ideally there would have to be 3 videos for almost every song. The complete beginner, this style, which I don't really know what you'd call it, and then the style that actually shows you the straight forward chords and notes... without all the "this string, that fret, this finger" insanity. You know, how the song will actually be played. Thank you to the poster for the lesson! And... Thank you kind sir commenter for the players chart!!
Thank you! This is the best tutorial of this song by far. Just what I needed. And I appreciate the play through video. I'll be checking out your other Gregory Alan tutorials as he is one of my favorite singer song writers.
Thanks so much, Jeff! Glad you enjoy my content. He's one of my favorites as well and one of the reasons why I started this channel in the first place.
super super helpful. clear and concise. been looking for guitar tutorials of gregory's songs for months and no luck until finally you come along. much appreciated, thank you
This is so awesome! Would you be willing to release a full instrumental of this so I can sing a cover? Would mean the world. Either way, thanks for this video.
Great tutorial, for a great song. Any chance you could post a video playing the whole song through? Idk about anybody else, but it would help a ton for how I learn.
That's a great idea... This is what I did for "Time Will Tell" by GAI. Makes sense because the chord structure is so complex. I'll look into it, but don't want to promise anything!
@@hennareytutorials sounds good, thanks for the reply. I'll shoot you a 10ner on venmo if it'll help. Dont mind supporting a great artists tutorial thats actually done well. However, I think that the chorus goes to A minor if im not mistaken from looking at some live performances.
Thanks mate! But I only got paypal. Yeah, I just saw that as well. By going through the song again, I realized a couple of things that I got wrong. He also plays a Bm in the bridge instead of an D/A and some other little things I was wrong about haha. I'll include these corrections in the playthrough video :)
Hey man, which guitar do you have? Really like the look of it. Looking at upgrading from mine but also want to get something that's ideal for playing folk
@@hennareytutorials thanks man. Been looking for this but haven't been able to find one, atleast in SA. You have any ideas of alternatives with the same look and sound?
@@macaroon147 I'm not really an expert with these kind of things... I usually just go into a store, try out a couple of guitars and then go with what feels and sounds the best to me. If the looks fit as well, then that's a nice bonus :)
Hey mate, thanks for the heads up! It could be, especially the Am7. But concerning the Bm, I'm pretty sure you can see him play the regular Bm bar chord in some of his live performances. Although he probably plays it differently from time to time, I imagine...
Thank you so much!! I’m stuck on the picking the a string though. I know how to do the picking the a string but I don’t know how to make the sound after it on the 2 fret
Hey Hazel, you lift up your middle finger (or whatever finger you've got on the A string), then pick the open A string and hammer on (so quickly put it down on the A string with some force) back to the 2nd fret with whatever finger you had on there before. It's hard to explain but I hope this description helps!
Am I the only one that notices that in his full cover he plays Am and also a Bm (which is required to play the bridge correctly), but I don't see where he talks about those chords in this tutorial?
Hey man, you're definitely not the only one. As I said in the description and the pinned comment up top, I noticed a few mistakes I had made when I went through the song again for the full cover you were talking about. So if you're looking for the "right" version, you should go by the cover. For strumming and so on, you can consult this video. I hope that clears your confusion.
@@hennareytutorials thanks man! I missed the pinned comment. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something (always possible!) and secondly make sure there wasn't some other video that showed the corrections or something. This video is the best tutorial still though and enough to get me where I need to be combined with your cover video. Thanks for the reply and wish you the best!
Such a beautiful and delicate song :) would you consider making a guitar lesson for "In case i fall for you" by Black Sea Dahu? greetings from Poland :D
It's actually so funny how similar our taste in music is... got the chords figured out and there will be a tutorial some day, but I've got a couple of other videos coming before that :)
Would you or someone be able to do Gregory Alan Isakov’s San Francisco from the album - That sea, the gambler? Can’t find it anywhere and it’s such a nice finger picking song.
If youre talking about that transition part, you could. The Gsus4 is pretty similar to a C, so that would work too. You can just try and see how it sounds. However, switching between the G and C so quickly could be difficult
Funny that you ask. My mate from ARK Guitar just released a tutorial on this song today! Check it out here! th-cam.com/video/6mA0YK34TvA/w-d-xo.html I wanted to make a playthrough version of the song some day, but it's gonna take a while. So stay put!
@@hennareytutorials can’t wait to see it!! Your Gregory Alan tutorials are literally the only thing giving me life right now in these lockdown days. Thank you ❤️🙏
Hey, first you pick the E string on the G chord, then do a DU and then you lift up your finger on the 2nd fret on the a string, pick it and then hammer on with your finger back onto the second fret of the A string... Then another DU Hope, that helped!
No need to give up! Still happens to me from time to time. Try to focus on turning the back of your hand more to the front and, thereby, get more onto the tip of your fingers. It'll work eventually! Just a matter of practice :)

Hey mate, it's a Merida Diana DG15-BA. Definite recommendation here, has an awesome full sound and it's not too pricey either.

Thanks mate. I see your edit.
I think it's an Am7 with the "birds-eye view" and the bridge starts with a Bm7 with an open E string.
Hey mate, thanks for the heads up!
It could be, especially the Am7. But concerning the Bm, I'm pretty sure you can see him play the regular Bm bar chord in some of his live performances. Although he probably plays it differently from time to time, I imagine...
