A great Bluesy riff by an amazing guitar player. Super good song. Enjoy!
If you scroll through TH-cam, this is the only lesson that sounds EXACTLY like the studio recording. The lesson is taught well & the guy knows his stuff, plus is so chill, thank you for making us better musicians.
Thank you Gavin - I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. There’s a fair amount of disagreement out there about this song - I stand by my opinions about how to play it and I’m very glad you agree. My best to you! Shane
Nice to see/hear a teacher give the students a sense of TIMING and Tempo....
Your teaching style is spot on. Not an overly difficult song, but the lesson delivery was just fantastic. I hope you keep doing tutorials!
Thank you Brad. Sorry slow reply. Shane
Yea.. great teaching ... maybe hold off the coke , slow the speech , and mannerisms a bit and hey ...good to go ... Ha .. Just kiddin... You do speak a bit fast... and I may be slow ha ...
I’ve watch a lot of lessons on this song. This is by far the best.
Thanks Andrew. My best to you. Shane
Yea because he is actually very musical not just a technician.
Some lessons I want to play what they are but personally the best ones are those you want to 'sound' like.
Also the Taylor is a beautiful sound ❤️
Agreed!
@@rubberbandyaptrap can you do a rory gallagher one?
I just arrived here, two years after you comment, and thought exactly the same thing. The best lesson that I've seen for this song. The teaching style and approachability is the key here for me and it's in the other tutorials for other songs as well.
One of my favorite songs you made it easy for me. I like the way you teach good good stuff, brother. May God be with you and everything you do, my friend.
Thanks Grant - my best to you! Shane
Sometimes quick and dirty is the best, it gets you playing and thats all that matters you can argue the specifics of later. Learning it is key.
Agreed Arma - thanks for that. Cheers!
Shane
I have played this song for years. Thank you, I finally get it right. Thank you!
Ive found many videos that werent even close to what I hear in this song. This one is perfect. Thank you
This is the first time I've seen him good lesson he sounds like a dj
Thanks Greg - best to you, Shane
Finally a great tutorial that didn't start in D major! Thank you Shane. Your lesson was so easy to follow. I was playing this song smoothly within a half hour!
Thank you Curly Jo - Very happy to have you with us and glad you enjoyed it!
Shane
That BY FAR is the best lesson I have ever seen on this song.
Thanks Robert - glad to have you here with us. Cheers! Shane
Thank you from a guy who learns by watching others. This format is awesome
BEST GUITAR LESSON I"VE EVER TAKEN!!! Seriously I've been playing this song incorrectly for -YEARS- and I'm self taught so it's hard to break those old habbits. But when you're shown concisely what makes the song sound right... and you're not bogged down with the normal cadence of explain > play > explain > theory > repeat >. You're picking up how the song is played and it's sounding =RIGHT= immediately. I love it. Thank you so much.
A big thank you for that - happy to have you here and so glad you enjoyed. Cheers! Shane
Great Lesson. I like the way you go over the movements at a slow pace and bring up the speed and tempo over time. Thanks.
Thanks John - my best to you. Cheers!
Shane
Shane you are the best the web has to offer 🤘
Thank you Mark - greatly appreciated! Shane
Double Damm So Cool, What a human to allow this.
Thanks Louis - Cheers,
Shane
Ive been learning guitar off of TH-cam for about a year now and have watched many videos with many guitar teachers. But I promise, you my friend are the best and easiest to follow you make things simple and fun to learn. Thanks man keep em coming im learning fast.

Fantastic playing. Great song.😊
You are so easy to follow. Your voice is so clear and you repeat just just enough to give me that "enlightened wow" moments all the time. Your over all pace is spot on. I learned '39 by Queen from your video and now this one. I look forward to my next learning adventure. Thanks for being there. You are really a great teacher.
Thank you John - I really appreciate your kind words. My very best to you! Shane
First song I learned on guitar, thank you.
Best lesson and version by far, many thanks 😊🎸

Somebody who plays it right!!!🍻
Everyone says this song is easy and most lessons play it wrong.Keep up the great work my friend.
Thank you Brian. I am SUPER glad to have you here with us. 👍
Thank you Brian. My best to you lad! Shane
You should do a lesson on another great song...Arc Angels Living in a Dream.Theres a couple out there but they are not very good.I don't ever want to put anybody down but you would get some feedback doing that one.✌
So I am 51 and have only been playing for a year trying to teach myself. This riff is awesome and I really enjoy it. Thanks for what you do. Struggling with F Chord. Lot's of fun !
Thank you Bill - we all struggle with F at first. Just keep at it man - it’ll come! Cheers, Shane
@@GuitarAtWork Thank you ! Wish I could read sheet music. I played Sax as a kid for about 8 years, but guitar it a bit different.
Great lesson! Kinda tricky at first but I'm getting it down. Thanks,Shane!
Fooled me too!
Bar far the best teacher I've seen.
Just came across your lesson and thank you! Probably the best lesson to learn a song I've seen on here. New subscriber.
Thanks Jason - very glad to have you here with us!
Shane
I loved jammin that tune with you Shane...cheers!
Thank you Steve - hope you are doing well with it!
Shane
Thank you for making me realize I've been playing it a bit wrong for a decade now.
Great lesson
For 1st ten years I played it in the wrong key. For the last 10 years I did an extra C note off the D, which made it sound like Midnight Rider by Allman Bros. Also I didn't so the sweet bass walk down via the G/B chord. WORLD of difference, I'm damn near embarrassed at myself. Lol. Thanks Shane!!!!!
Thanks so much for teaching me this song the right way. I use to play it and know how and I looked it up and it seems like you're the only person teaching it right.
You are a great teacher
Thank you Eddie - much appreciated and very glad to have you here with us. Cheers, Shane

Thank you John - I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and am also glad you enjoyed it. Happy to have you here with us. Cheers!
Shane
Same here John Natale just left one of the D major vids and indeed this is the prime rib of instructional lessons. My sentiments exactly.

I've stopped n rewound several times. Will get it down. I'm playing n singing it in five days in the bar .
Way to go Darrell - have fun with it! Shane
I just sampled thru a bunch of lessons on this song and was stunned to see how many were just plain wrong. Yours however is quite accurate to the original. Thanks for posting this lesson.
Thanks for that - glad to have you here. Shane
I've sang and played this song on bass for years with two guitarists in a band. Now comes the hard part, singing and playing it on acoustic guitar by myself.
Hope you have fun with it! Shane
I have now got this, thanks to you .
Fabulous - I hope your having fun with it. Cheers, Shane
Great lesson / Video. Straight to the point with no BS about the background of the artist or why he ties his shoes left handed. Keep it up!
Wow! Great lesson. Thank you
