Thanks very much Mark🙂.

Thanks Zoe - glad you liked it. In some of my newer videos I've used up and down arrows to illustrate the strumming pattern, and sometimes I've combined this with diagrams that show how the up and down strokes align to the beats in the bar. There is an example of this in this lesson for 'The Weight' (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5PLm4iGhLJobtU). Anyway, if you fancy learning that song, let me know whether the diagrams help.

The lesson about the Introduction will be available this Friday (12 July), so watch this space! There will be another separate advanced lesson about the chords one week after that.

Thanks very much! I wasn't sure whether or not to keep that blooper in, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks again - hope my comment wasn't below the belt ...

You're welcome, and it wasn't.

Which one?

Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed it!

@@PetersAcousticMusicChannel No probs, and yep awesome playing and singing. You're welcome to my channel if you have some time ;)

Thank you very much 😊

Really glad you enjoyed it😊

Thanks Dave. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks a lot Ray. Glad you enjoyed it - it's nice to know the video is doing its job. :-)

It's a wonderful song... ...and it's in the key of F I believe.

Thanks very much James.

Thanks very much Peter!

Thank you!

Thanks 🤗

Thank you very much 🙏.

Thank you very much. The strings are Martin Lifespan strings, although on most of my guitars I use Elixir Nanoweb strings, which I would recommend (although they are expensive). I used a Neumann TLM 102 mic on the guitar. It’s relatively affordable for a Neumann, and it sounds good on vocals as well as guitar.

@@PetersAcousticMusicChannelMartin 12-54 Phosphor Bronze?

@@wojtek300 Martin Authentic Acoustic LifeSpan Phosphor Bronze 13-56 - they are good strings. The guitar is an HD28 - it's 28 years old (I've had it for 22 years now). It has a few dings, but it's a very nice sounding guitar.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the feedback. I have noticed a number of comments about chord charts. I'd like to find a format that works for everybody, but I'm not sure whether it's just that there are different preferences in terms of size, layout, orientation etc. In any case, if anybody has an example of particularly good chord charts they can point me to, please let me know.

It is a subliminally beautiful song - or at lest I think so.

Thank you 😊.

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the channel - you might like my ‘Acoustic Covers Of Classic Hits’ playlist.

Thanks very much Maurice. Glad they are working for you... ...and that is a great question... I think the answer is that the pattern itself could be played with a pick, although it would be more difficult, but I don't think you can build the slapping technique into the pattern with a pick. Now having said that, there could be a genius guitarist out there who could prove me wrong, but for me anyway, it is difficult to slap a bass string only with a pick whilst letting the others ring out, which is what you would have to do. However, there are some good percussive 'slaps' you can do with a pick - they are just different ones. There is a good example near the start of Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic". I've posted a KZbin short about this , as I thought people might be interested. It is at kzbin.info8vMyhl3_pOM?feature=share. Thanks again for the question Maurice, and keep up your guitar playing :-)

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much. Keep strumming!

Thanks! 😃

Thanks for the feedback about the chord charts. The next couple of lessons are already edited, but I will take a look at the orientation of the charts for future lessons.

Thanks Kev - great suggestion 🙂.

Thank you very much :-)
