Great lesson. watched the whole thing, even though I've been playing this song for years. Looking forward to seeing Tricky Dicky support Oasis this summer at Murrayfield.

Please watch the video of John playing this and you will understand why it is such as sad song. The words in his songs are simple but so powerfully create a picture of human frailty. The essence of poetry in a song.

Im 62 had a guitar since I was 17.... but I never had any consistency, it would be under the stairs in a case for months at a time. I was advised to get a stand and it made a hell of a difference. Im guilty still of learning bits and pieces & trying to learn stuff im not good enough to learn. Very factual lesson Joe.

Excellent lesson. Thank you!

Joe are your live feeds on a Saturday/ Sunday and how do I get on to the site as I have just come crossed them before thanks colin

Such great advice as always Joe. I play a lot more guitar since having mine on a stand..so easy to pick up and play rather than tucked away in its case. Also I agree with the song choice sometimes learning more 3-4 chord songs is more fun and a lot easier than more complex songs that require a higher level of ability.

How do i find your live feed joe please

Hi Joe early tonight lol best wishes Colin preston

I second your suggestion for a stand. Ease of access is so impotant

I keep my guitar next to me when I'm sat around all the time. It's got it's own place next to me on the settee. I play it watching tele or when I'm listening to music. Even if I don't fully know the tune, I'll jam along to it and work it out on the fly. I am a bit guilty of only learning bits of songs though, I may need to work on that a bit more. Cheers for the video.

I’ve played for 45 years, there’s always been a Yamaha guitar in my living space, it’s never moved, never been setup, never been dusty. I’ve had a Martin go south in it’s case, the Gibson is solid, and the 13 other guitars in my collection, mostly crap, play regardless of storage. Guitars have to be accessible, :) Cheers, great video.

0:37 Finally i dont have to use a capo, Thanks Joe!

Love this. One question, am I missing something or is the 5th string not plucked when you have the chord fretted (index on second fret 5th string) I played bass as 6th string 5th (with chord fretted) then 5th string 4th string when all strings were open and thought it sounded nice

I told my daughter that I knew the chords A-G and I would play whichever one she called out. She said “B!” I took me a moment to realize I never learned it. 😂

Yours is my favorite style for playing this....but wish I had a tab to help while I learn it ...without having to join Patreon :-(

0:35 he plays it

0:30 he plays it

Bedankt voor de video, duidelijk en helder, misschien omdat ik van jou leeftijd ben (50), hier kunnen we wat mee 👍🏽💪🏽❤️🙏🏽😇 Vriendelijke groet Alexander

Brilliant and very helpful!

Found your channel today…been playing since the 70’s…but a little lazy now but want to learn some new songs…your channel looks perfect…gonna start with Hey Hey….thank you for your excellent, brief lesson…from a fellow musician who loves guitar. Definite new subscriber.

Captivant tu es excellent !!!!

Absolutely by yourself or don't get stuck in the comfort zone mostly playing what you already know. Like learning finger picking and getting all fingers and thumbs insync. It's uncomfortable learning but there's nothing like a breakthrough. When you finally get it. Then i warm up with stuff i know and get out of your zone

I have been playing guitar 30 years. I'm mostly self taught, so I have been death gripping this whole time. I always thought barre chords were just supposed to hurt!The index finger position on the fretboard never occurred to me. Glad I found this vid!

So good to hear proper vocals with the chords. A song is meaningless without. Really well sung too.

Bloody fantastic, simple and easy to follow 10/10 Jose

Fuck ur lesson, it sucks.

Toll, toll ❤

Hi Joe pianist here , you got me playing this tune on guitar with ease . Well with a bit of practice , it’s crazy, you’re a brilliant teacher . Do some more Robert Johnson stuff man :) or lightning hop 🤙😊

Agreed. Best lesson on this song. Great teacher. Sounds just like Clapton.

thank you man

That"s the way this wonderful song must b played... Thanks Mr Joe Murphy !

Beautiful

Great! Thank you very much! By the way: seems , that there is no tutorial of „Jesus is a dying bedmaker“ from Charley Patton - would this be an idea?? Thank and Greetings from Germany!!

Fantastic job

Excellent job. Thank you.

A can play that but I icant sing along. anyone help me

I've got a question, is this a song that eric wrote or he did a cover of it?

Thanks very much, one more song to try tô play!

Thanks for the eye opening G tuning lesson. I’ve also owned a slide for 2 years and never pulled it out and tried to learn it until this lesson. Thanks for the inspiration. Rock On!

Is there a difference between the “open D” tuning, and “tuning a full step down to D”?

Didn’t know this whole world was hidden in plain sight, behind the Open D door…

Cff😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉 0:04

So I liked these vibes already. May I say the woodwork on the window and door is very neat indeed.

Thanks for sharing your talents! Would you ever consider open tuning tutorial?

Lovely ❤❤❤

Good set Joe loved the song choices Happy New Year Joe 🎉🎉🎉

This was great. The crackling was a glitch, but that's okay. Cheers, Joe!

Howdy Joe from Opportunity, Montana
