Ive been watching a few videos for this song and this is the first that really makes sense. Many thanks. Not sure I'll get more than the intro and the basic strumming down before Christmas this year, but hope to have the whole thing by Xmas 25 :)

wow !!! rob ! canada!

Thanks Brian

Thanks for the lesson, i always want to play that song, but i never try it. but seeing you do it that clear and accurate i'm going for it.!!

Nice after years toying with WCM your tips clarify thanks ❤️🎸

Cool.

Excellent I been dabling with tha lol for a long time you answered a lot of questions and think I can get it right. Thanks again 🎸🎷😅

alguien sabe el nombre del efecto del pedal que ocupa en esta cancion ?

juste one detail to mention : after watching quite a bit of concert, the end of the main verse is first the chord widely used by Clapton D/F# - G- E and after for the ending he plays the D in barre chord to end the verse... that"s what i see. ;-) The 3 first chords are the same in "change the word" acoustic part.

Thanks for this great tuto man, just saw Clapton perform it in Paris !

Is this no longer available on the site?

😂😂😂 Hopefully by now you've actually heard the song and learnt how to play it properly.

Thanks for sharing this!!

Great video thanks

Is this drop d ????

I love these old lessons Brian. Not sure if you still check the comments on these but I’ve got my eye on an Alvarez parlour guitar. Love to know the model number on this one?

Makes me want to buy a wa-waaaaaaaa

Wow you nailed this. One of my favorite EC songs.

Great teaching style. Thanks

My hero! Thank You

Howling Wolf's original version starts with the G on the one in the bar. Most people who covered the song play it like you do, but check out the original.

apparently Jimi cited Floyd Cramer as an influence

I'm a customer already, but I can't find this on your site. I searched "goodbye blue sky" and "pink floyd" ...any advice?

i’ve come back to this video every year since i started playing. best tutorial out there

Back again. At least 5 years in a row now. 😎🎄

Must be Christmas 🎄! 😊

I love revisiting this episode to brush up on your version of this tune. Is there a name of playing style like yours where the melody is integral with the cords used simultaneously? As opposed to playing a melody with single notes. Kind of a rhythm-and-lead-at -same-time thing.

I'm a life long Dixie hummingbirds fan and have many of their recordings. Your rendition of " If You See My savior", is wonderful. Love your video.

The way greater Song then this wonderful tonight boaring crapy anoying tune.

One of the best performances of this is from an extra bonus DVD that was included with copies of Crossroads Festival 2007 sold at Best Buy. It's a 9:43 minute version that includes an extended bass solo by Willie Weeks. At first listen, that solo is a tad long but in the overall scheme of things, it morphs the song from a too-short riff based song to a long groove oriented song. You did a great job here pulling out all of the picking / accent subtleties that make the song pop.

Great job! I'm just relearning this and the tab is incomplete and incorrect. Thanks, I love this.

Saw him do it with a 3 piece band relief for hurricane sandy brilliant

THANK YOU !!

The way you broke down the C and F walk downs for some reason made things clear for me. While watching other tutorials I struggled with that part but you made it simple! Thanks!

Too much talking

I was looking active melody but couldn't find EP012

Where can I get tabs for EP010 and EP011?

4 minutes of dribble before you even start!

best lesson ever

youre a great teacher sir ! , please post more !

Really well done! Thank you...

Hank Garland lives. Good job! Hank had NO training, which is a great mystery for me. Garland always blows me away. You show the voicing extremely well. One minor thing, -on that intro, try the 1st THREE strings at the 14th fret barre'd with your first finger (instead of two strings). Everything else you're doing is jake. Darn close to Hank's original work. This is one of the few classic RHYTHM sides that MUST be played above the 12th fret. I usually advise young Jazz students that, if they find themselves above the 12th fret on anything but a clever solo, they can probably do it better BELOW the octave fret. So many youngsters try to play above the octave fret and miss the sweeter voicing. That's the danger of a 335; -it tempts young students to play rhythm above the 12th fret rather than learn better voicings below the octave fret. This side is not too difficult to play, -so why did it take me TWO days to get the same thing you got sounding right? -Probably because I'm an old fart and have lost chops. Also an incurable spine condition that is becoming worse. Still, I could play better if I practised more. For a side often considered to be a 'throw-away', this record displays Hank's exceptional genius. I am NO Barney Kessel, but I think it's a GREAT part. It's not too difficult to play and it sounds as a coherent, whole piece of music. It ALL works. Can you imagine coming up with those changes inside of a THREE hour session,?! -Which usually requires at least 3 sides to be in the can, in ONE 3 hour session! To this day, 3 songs in 3 hours is often the schedule. Lead sheet or no. -Sometimes, not even a chart. To this day, I place this tune as one of the top 5 or 6 pop X-mas songs of all time. Alas, I agree with the rest of the Earth; -Shane McGowan's "A Fairytale Of New York" is THE finest Christmas pop single of all time. Of course, The Trio's version of the Mel Tormé classic, "The Christmas Song" is a damn'd close second to Shane's song. To young players; learning a guitar part by Hank Garland is always a workout and a good theory lesson. If you can separate the guitar parts on a record and learn them note for note it a darn useful exercise. It will not only help your playing & writing, but begin to teach you how a good pop record is assembled. Get them exact; -note for note. I've purposely listed players that may not be as well known as session players to the general guitar population. But, you have heard and admired them all! ANYTHING by Tommy Tedesco, Billy Strange, Carol Kaye, (known for fender bass, but her first instrument is jazz guitar), Lee Ritenour, Steve Cropper, Chris Spedding, Mick Taylor, Fred Tackett, George Barnes, James Burton, Larry Carlton, Jerry Reed, Ry Cooder, Mike Bloomfield, Barney Kessel, Jorma Kaukonen, Paul Jackson Jr, Dick Dale, Marc Ribot, David Bromberg (also a great producer), Lynford "Hux" Brown, Danny Kortchmar, Mick Taylor, Stephen Stills, Jay Graydon, Norman Blake, Curtis Mayfield, Scotty Moore, Luther Perkins, Hugh McCracken, Pete Carr, Amos Garret (also a reed player), Clarence White, Waddy Wachtel, Dave Spinozza, Robbie Robertson (Robbie did a lot of session work). Also, if you can play Glen Campbell parts you are surely a player with larger hands. Campbell may be the most famous session player of his era, but he also is the one who might work you hardest. E.g. try the guitar parts of "Southern Nights". They are musically straightforward, and you will find the exact notes and voicing fast. Next, comes playing the parts smoothly so they sound effortless. Alas, they are parts that are pure heck to play with elan and smoothness. Campbell had HUGE hands and he played everything with the fingering of a trained classical player. Campbell had NO formal training. -No university theory or a special teacher. However, I think he had the most perfect natural guitar hands I have ever seen play. I

~❤🌹❤as always. Thank u much B...
