Thank you for that positive feedback! It’s funny, my most popular video is a tutorial on “Take it Easy”. There are no tabs, I was very dry and nervous (it was my first video) Yet people seem to love the candid nature that I’m kind of figuring some of it out in real time. I’ve not made a video in a while but moving forward, I’ll definitely keep your comment in mind. Glad to be of help!!

@@mitchsmith6365 Thanks man, I broke a wrist in 2016 smashed drunk on a motorcycle. My reach hasn't been the same since plus plastic parts were disintegrating in my hands like the volume knob and the toggle switch cover. I just paid around $370 to get the Gibson fixed. Les Paul custom SG three pickups gold hardware I bought in 1989 for $550 when I was 18. Been my main ever since. Now I would never sell it but it's worth probably 8 grand now especially being an 86 with the Tim Shaw pickups. It's going to take a couple months at least to be band worthy again, but I'm sure I can get it back. Thanks again for your cool comment and thanks again for the help getting my skills back. I miss being a show off on stage. It was lots of fun entertaining a crowd. I almost forgot the $300 to fix the amp. Crazy how expensive good equipment got and a crackhead sound engineer stole almost all my equipment in early 2000s. Luckily I got my Gibson back.I could list all the other things, but I would be here for a long while.

In the future, don’t mix bikes and alcohol. Too many mother’s sons and daddy’s daughters out there on the road. Not to mention the set back you’ve experienced in your playing.

@@mitchsmith6365 Linzer and Randell used the melody of the familiar "Minuet in G major" (BWV Anh. 114), which first appeared in J.S. Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach.[2] The only difference is that the "Minuet in G major" is written in 3 4 time, whereas "A Lover's Concerto" is arranged in 4 4 time. Although often attributed to Bach himself, the "Minuet in G major" is now generally accepted as having been written by Christian Petzold.[4][5][6] The melody had been popularized by bandleader Freddy Martin in the 1940s, in a recording that was released under the title "A Lover's Concerto".[7] Critic Dave Thompson wrote of the Toys' version: "Few records are this perfect. Riding across one of the most deceptively hook-laden melodies ever conceived ... 'A Lover's Concerto' marks the apogee of the Girl Group sound."[2] The song also has an unusual structure that blurs the differences between its verses and choruses.[2] Add to this, it was also popularized by Sarah Vaughan under Mercury label in the late ‘60s. The lyrics begin: How gentle is the rain That falls softly on the meadow, Birds high up in the trees Serenade the clouds with their melodies

Hello, so I have two things, first, great tutorial. I thought it was very descriptive and easy to learn. Second, the mainly hammer on and pull off parts’ tabs were a bit hard to read because the numbers were so small, so, I was wondering what were the frets? If you could please tell me.

@mitchsmith6365 9 ай бұрын

Thank you for the comment and I’m glad it was helpful. I think the parts you are asking about are as follows: drone on the open 5th string (A) and hammer on 5,7,8,5, 7,8,10,7. 8,10,12,8 10,12,13,10…….. The next part drones in the 2nd string, 2nd fret (A) and dose the same pattern starting on the 9th fret.: 9,11,12,9. 11,12,14,11. 12,14,16,14. ……. Hopefully this is helpful
