I first heard this song on vinyl in 1971 when the album came out. I grabbed my acoustic guitar and tried to play along, but could never get it to sound quite right. Having baby blues myself, the song has haunted me ever since. Now I'm 69 and still picking. Today, while stuck at home during the pandemic, I finally got it down and I'm jamming away on it. BIG thanks to Justin and TH-cam for sharing music and instructional videos. God bless y'all and keep you safe.
Cannot thank this guy enough,he has given me free guitar lessons and taught in such a easy to follow manner.and for that i thank you truly.keep up the awesome work and i look forward to the next video.
MAN I LOVE THAT SONG BEHIND BLUE EYES, IM 65 YEARS OLD AND MAN I DON'T KNOW WHERE ALL THESE YEARS JUST WENT BY!! I ONCE HAD 52 GUITARS AND I HAD TO SELL THEM TO PAY LAWYERS TO GET ME OUT OF A SERIOUS DRUG CHARGE AND I PAYED MY WAY OUT OF IT!!! I GREW UP IN PITTSBURGH PA AND NOW IM A RETIRED ROOFER WHO STILL THINKS HE'S 30 YEARS OLD THANK YOU JUSTEN I NOW HAVE A TELECASTER
Justin you have been one of my biggest inspirations to continue to pick up my guitar, you are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us, and i will continue to watch the videos. Thank you!
This was a great lesson. I like how you incorporated all the different nuances in the different versions so we can match the one we like best with the one we want to play. Good job, and thank you!
Thanks. I was always wanted to learn this song. Now I will have many hours and days ahead of me trying to make it sound good. Thanks for breaking it down slowly.
I have bought an electric guitar, been practicing various chords for a week now and added this video (the first few minutes) to my practice. I really love how you break it down, as an absolute beginner it makes it fun to watch and 'easier' to repeat. Thank you so much for this video, I'm sure I'll be watching much more of them! My love is Dchord, sus4, that's never Asus2, really made me laugh btw.
ive come along ways with the special way 2 play chords, u tough me, cause of my wrist injury and my index finger tendon operates my thumb . its been a awesome experence . i still play my 12 string most of the time and have stop using a pick. wanted to send u another big THANK YOU
Justin...I've been watching you for awhile and I just want to thank you for posting so many teaching lessons. You seem to be such a cool guy and very talented. I play guitar and I've learned many tips from you....thank you my friend and I know you have spent many hours of your generous time....it hasn't gone unnoticed with me. Keep making a difference...............
Justin,,,,thank you for sharing our talent with me (us) - I love singing "I am a "D chord" for ever more - or how you just sing the chord into the lyrics - you teach me ease and comfort - I so much enjoy your videos - got your teeshirts that I wear at my gigs to show my support - thank you!....Mark - see me soon -where I will remind folks to check you out!
Aaaaahhhh! I've been following you for years, I finally cut my nails and picked the guitar up. I don't think that this is a good first song 😭 Oh how I love this song ♥
Well, although I'm using Rocksmith to learn this song, this is a great lesson. I just came here for the picking patter, assumed I'd pick it up quicker having it explained than playing through it - didn't even realize it was all the same chord position, so that'll help. I just felt compelled to watch the whole video, great lesson.
Thank you Justin, this is one of my all time favorites. I was probably 15 when the Who's Next album came out. Great song and a great lesson. Thank you so much.
Thank you Justin. I'm just wondering if you covered the bridge from the end of "Wear your coat", just after the little guitar solo, to the final "No one knows" refrain.
love it!! I'll stick to the strumming for the moment, I think! I can actually hear a tune coming out of my guitar! your video lessons rock thanks matey
+Sungha Jung Tutorials Sungha Jung is amazing. He is one of my heroes... I strive to be as good as him and I watch his videos for entertainment and for inspiration. I was surprised to see his name in the comments here!
really great videos, 54 new player and never thought i would be learning songs like this for years , easy bits and challenging bits , thanks for all your hard work
Love this song, Justin. I still need to get the hang of the bridge but like you say, listening to the recording should help that out. On a side note, have you ever posted a discussion on fingernails and what do do about reinforcing them and such? I currently get acrylic but I'm open to alternatives if you have any suggestions. Cheers and keep up the great work!
Another great lesson Justin, love this tune thanks :-) Would there be any chance of doing a lesson on Glenn Campbell's ' Witchita linesman' sometime in the near future? Kind regards
someone pls help! when he does the D and G etc chords but they're up the neck not the normal chords at the base can someone give me a xx0321 form version of them???? trying to work out what they are / how to play those chords but cant get it. PLS THANKS : )
The G is 355433 and the D is x57775, but you don’t really have to play the bottom string on the D, think of them as just an E and an A chord moved up some frets
Ya like Fake says the G is an E shape barre chord with the barre on the 3rd fret. 3rd fret on the E string is a G, and that’s your root note. The D is an A shape barre chord with the barre on the 5th fret. Because it’s an A shape chord, you need to mute the low E string with the tip of your first finger, and take the root note from the A string. 5th fret of the A string as a D, so an A shape barre chord played there is a D.
I've requested it! Gotta say thank you a damn lot Justin! Just learned the epic Hurt by Johnny Cash, now it's time to move on! Amazing! Right about time! Now I don't want to haunt you that much, but some awesome Cash songs like 'The man comes around' and 'One' would be so desirable! Sincerely, your fan from now on.
You've really made it as simple as possible to get back into guitar. I am getting so confused, for Dsus4 to D I can see those are 1/2 a bar each but what about E to A and G to Gsus4 on the chorus? I'm writing the music down in a way I can read it and I can't get those two transitions.
my favourite Pete Townshend song (maybe with 'Empty Glass') I've tried to sing and play this song since 40 some years....If I had your lesson in those days...sigh
Awesome Lesson! I have been trying to get this one down for a long time. You have taught me so much, I can't thank you enough! I did have one question about this video though, at the 14.09 mark you say you strike the fifth string, but you strike the fourth string, I was just wondering which one it was. I'm going with the fourth for now. Just curious.
Hi Justin! Thank you so much for your videos. I especially love your rendition of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds by The Beatles. :) It was a great tutorial of a great song by a great band. I was wondering if you could maybe do a tutorial of While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles. (The version with Eric Clapton, not the version that's on the White Album). Anyways, just a suggestion. :p Thanks again for being your awesome and talented self. Peace~
Haha Dude i was looking for a lesson like this because i played this song in a birthday last week! haha i found too late.. had to learn by listening! But nice job man!
Fantastic lesson but I think there's a wrong chord in here somewhere. . . . . "As my conscience seems to be . . . " is followed by an E6sus 4 (042200) and not with that quick 'A' you mention. Sorry to mention it! But thanks for the picking at the beginning which I could never get right.
Great lesson justin as always!...just wanted to put it out there that it'd be cool to see a lesson on a paul gilbert song like enemies in jail or something:)
Hey Justin. I would love to see come City and Colour on your channel, and its weird i havent found any yet. Songs like: Paradise, Grand Optimist or Sleeping Sickness would be awesome to see. They are incredible acoustic songs and has a very unique playstyle.
Hey Justin. I was hoping you would do me a HUGE favor? I'm trying to learn a song on acoustic and I just can't figure it out. Would you PLEASE do a tutorial on it the name of the song is... When Mercy Found Me by The Rhett Walker Band. I really want to learn this song thank you

I had to lol when he sang the chord progressions. "..E minor to and A add 9..." That is just a great method of teaching.
I know, right ?!😂
Love this song, Justin. I still need to get the hang of the bridge but like you say, listening to the recording should help that out.
