Thank you so much I've been wrestling with the timing of the F chord and when you mentioned the push, the light bulb came on

Glad it helped!

As an old fart beginner sure it will take me a while to correctly play this classical song. But thanks for the progression method and for your good pedagogy. Intro and instrumental magnify the whole lesson. Thanks a lot! Keep learning more 🎸🤠

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are welcome!

I love the lick at the beginning, it’s a great intro, already makes you dreaming for the rest of the song. Thank you Kevin

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

I haven't played my guitar for a while this lesson for this song as given me the passion to pick it back up thanks kev.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

That’s great! You are welcome.

This lesson came at the perfect time. I have a concert body rosewood guitar for fingerstyle and i love it for that style. The small body did not sound right for strumming, so i got a dreadnought rosewood yesterday intermediate, was what i could afford and it sounds perfect for this song and another benefit on the full size guitar my f chord sounds good and barre chords are easier, who knew, that opens up songs i passed on before and now i will try, thank you all, for what you do. I can now play and sing in front of people like at the guitar store yesterday. You are a blessing for so many of us older learners. Thanks again.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Awesome lesson. On the recording the amazing vocals kind of drown-out the instrumentation… so this lesson really helps.! Thank you for posting!

Thanks!

[@rcflyer40plus1]

These lessons are great. I have a question (for anyone) --- during the main chords Am, F, G, C, etc (sans E7 sus - e7) --- do you not play the high E string or maybe mute it? When I use the full chords the high notes just seem out of place. (NOTE: I am a beginner, so it may just be my noobie strumming style too)

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

I think you could play it either way. If it sounds off while playing with record it’s prob bc of the tuning.
