That story brings a smile to my face! 🙂

It's a Bourgeois Heirloom OM - nice guitar.

Thank you ☺️

Thanks Dermot. 😊

Thanks very much 😊

Thank you! 😃

Glad you like them!

Thank you. ☺️

Ah - now I get it :-)

At some point I will do a full video on Travis picking 😊

Thanks for the suggestion :-)

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you. There is no hard and fast rule about which fingers to hammer on, But a good guideline is that a hammer on often takes you from a 2nd (e.g. a C2) to a regular version of a chord (e.g. C major) or from a regular version of a chord (e.g. D major) to a suspended fourth (e.g. D4). In case that sounds a little complicated, on a C major take your finger off the 4th string to play that string open - that is a C2 (which is just a C chord with the note of D thrown in). Then hammer back on to the fourth string second fret, and you are back to a regular C chord. Or hammer your little finger on to the top string 3rd fret while playing a D major chord, and you have a Dsus 4 (a D chord with the note if G in it). Hope that helps.

Thanks Dermot. If you can play barre chords, you are doing well, so keep going with the 'cowboy chords', and they will come. For myself, if I know I'm about to play a difficult phrase, sometimes I tense up a bit, and it's the anticipation of the thing rather than doing the thing itself that makes me go wrong. If I come back to that difficult phrase after a week or two's break, then sometimes I find I can just do it. Not sure if that helps, but anyway, nice to make your acquaintance, and keep going :-)

@PetersAcousticMusicChannel Thanks a million Peter for your lovely reply and encouragement 👍🎸

Thank you very much.

Thank you. It's really nice to know that the channel is hitting the spot :-)

Thank you 😊😊😊

Perhaps there is another lesson there! 😀

Thank you very much.

Hi Jimmy. I published a cover of 'Tangled Up in Blue', which is at kzbin.info/www/bejne/q32ogn18mrt_fa8 . The cover follows the structure outlined in the lesson more or less exactly - so you should be able to practice to it and rewind it and so on. The cover is on my other channel, Peter's Songs: www.youtube.com/@PetersSongs.

Hi Fahim. Thank you. I'm happy to hear any tips, of course, but in general I am satisfied with the way my Channel is growing over time.

Yes, simple, but does everything it needs to, and a wonderful lyric.

Thanks David - the slapping seems to have divided opinions... That is now two comments against and one for.

Hi Nick. I will be recording a cover of "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away". It will be on my covers channel soon (www.youtube.com/@@PetersSongs). I'll let you know when it is there.

Thank you. I've just published a lesson about how to play Bob Dylan's 'Shelter From The Storm' in Open E tuning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4mVp3aCrb2Nrdk

Thanks! 😃

Thank you.

I’m all for creativity and interpretation, but the aim of this lesson was to ‘play like the Beatles’.

Thank You ☺️.

They are a small British make. I’m a big fan. The one in the video is a Brook Torridge. It’s a little guitar with a big, sweet voice.

Thank you.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Neil Finn is a top class songwriter.

It provides the choice of playing a C in the bass (5th string) or a G in the bass (6th string).

@@frankmorris2472 thanks for the feedback Frank. It’s appreciated.

Thank you.

Auto-correct? :-)

I have to admit I'm a little new to Open E, but it does open up some new perspectives (no pun intended!). I think some of Joni Mitchell's songs are in Open E. I'm a big fan of hers, but her voice has such a wide range that some of her stuff is difficult for me to sing.

Thank you. Shelter From the Storm is due in a few weeks :-)

Thank you. And good point about the strumming. Perhaps Proud Mary could be a future lesson?
