This song was a technical masterpiece - head and shoulders above much of the 60’s music. I could hear it but as a twelve-year-old I didn’t understand what was going on. Thanks for a great video.

As a teenager I got into punk rock but as someone who wants to get good punk isn’t going to get me where I want to go. I’ve been pretty lost trying to find songs to help me get to where I want to go. Then I thought what did I like as kid in the 80s there was Ritchie valens Eddie Cochran which is just slow punk rock. But loved the monkees I loved Lionel Ritchie the Jackson 5 Sam Cooke Paul Simon. But what I didn’t realize is how much I loved Louie Shelton. I didn’t know the man existed til 2 months ago. Now I know who I’d like to emulate. I think the man is my favorite musician. What a fun guy to watch in interviews. Thanks for the lesson.

Spot on!!! My very dear friend Gerry McGee (RIP) played on The Monkees stuff, along with Louie! Gerry played the (2nd Pattern) high part in this run!

@@12footchain Long story but, I actually met him through James Burton about 10 years ago! We're all Louisiana boys! I video'd Gerry's last performance here in the States! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6q5f5yYd8eGd9k He passed away the following year onstage from a heart attack while performing in Japan. He was an incredible player and a wonderful friend!

I've watched 5 of your videos. One thing that you include that is BEYOND helpful is you give us an outline of what is happening before you play the parts. In this video, you explained how Louie moves up and down the neck with triads. That little bit of info frames everything that you are teaching us. Great teaching technique and great playing!

Thanks for another excellent video! Seeing Louie Shelton play it was awesome. Your detailed explanation is that much better. Just a quick note: The 2 of a scale or chord is right above the root note. When it is in the next higher octave, it is called a 9. When a four-string F chord has the G on the high E string, that is called an "F add 9" chord. (I guess an F add 2 would be with an open G string.) By extension, a "cowboy" A chord with an open B string is an A add 2. The cowboy C with a D on the B string is a C add 9.

Great video - thank you. I finally managed to get it a few days ago but up to then, I was getting frustrated. If you have time, please could you do a lesson on "While I Cry" and/or "Tapioca Tundra", both Monkees songs and both sung and written by Michael Nesmith. There are a few videos on KZbin but they all seem to contradict each other.

The main picking pattern sounds slightly wrong? I have been working on this picking pattern for about a year (slow learner!) but after the first two notes (hammer on G, G string note in the triad), you are playing the high E string followed by the B string. Sounds to me like Louie in his vid is playing the hammer on, the base triad note on the G string, but then the B string followed by the E, so all four notes ascend. You can use the speed control on you tube to slow down Louie's playing and I am 90% sure he is playing the first four notes ascending. I know music is not written in stone, and forgive my nitpicking, both sound good, and it is very hard to tell the difference at speed, sorry if I am wrong. I loved your CCR vids, super helpful, great work.

Is the intro too simple to quickly demo? There's just a little bit of knack required, there, don't you think....with the open G and B string and the walk-down from the F# on the D string? It takes a tad of 'shedding' to get really smooth, I'm finding. But I'm an old piano player who doubles on guitar! Thanks!
