After practicing this a gazillion times, I’m having fun with it, but I had to play something else for awhile, I’m singing it in my sleep, lol but I was wondering if you might do your version of Sound of Silence...After Simon and Garfunkel s, and then hearing Disturbs version I can just imagine your voice killing it..Yes?

[@randyaven6377]

I'm assuming the 18 dislikes to this video are those who have never played guitar and just hate Willie Nelson, for this is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen for a guitar lesson. You have a new subscriber and very grateful for your time you put into this great lesson! From the intro, verse, chorus to the great solo, you made this song very easy to play. Thank you Mr. Swift!

[@nicolasomar4684]

Hello Randy i'm from paraguay south america.. and left me tell You How mucho i love Willie Nelson.. i hear all this albums he music it's si beautiful and free and yes i don't understand why some people put dislike...

[@tommoon9142]

Probably because they don't like his singing

[@wildalbalass4867]

Hear hear.

[@lilblackduc7312]

As many bottles of Tequila I've had with Willie Nelson, it totally escapes me why anyone would give this video/tutorial anything besides a resounding "Thumbs Up"!🎸🎵🎶

[@sandisloan7003]

I want to learn all those licks, if it takes me the rest of my life, you’ll be on replay till I get it... thank you so much,and your voice is beautiful as well.

[@cityslickerbushcraft9643]

I agree his voice is absolutely fantastic

[@matthijsvansanten4942]

Cool! Did it work?

[@tigersports8988]

Learned it yet?

[@johnwashburn3793]

I plan to eat my veggies, say my prayers and go to bed when I am asked.

[@lucasgibson3973]

Learn it yet?

[@jesseserna8424]

My dad taught me how to play this when I was 10 now at 58 I’m trying to learn it again thank you..

[@imannonymous7707]

youre the only one who teaches that tricky descending chord run that brings the solo back to IV ......respect man ...

[@DanielVenadjv]

I agree with Randy, one of the best and simple to follow, direct to the point, no time waisted.

[@dave1203]

Young man, you never cease to amaze me with your talents of playing and teaching guitar. Be very proud of yourself. Thx.

[@RoadToTheCup]

I have listened to this song well over 100 times since I was a young kid in the early 80's I remember my mom playing this on the record player and I can sing it word for word without the music now. I need to learn this riff.

[@yvemarybmusic]

I think this may be the most helpful youtube lesson I have come across in learning a tune

[@michaelweal7721]

For sure!

[@MatthewThompsonAllen]

Willie's the best. I always feel good listening to his music. Riot cops have it all wrong. Forget tear gas and pepper spray and rubber bullets and crap. Just start playing Willie and everyone will chill.

[@rickrobitaille8809]

Just started playing guitar after a long time away from it,have classical training but love all music.landed on your lessons and was blown away by your diversity in many styles of music and how you give lessons.you cut to the point and are very well explained,very talented also.thank you looking forward to catching up with your help....

[@xposethatruth1682]

I dig the way you present this. I’ve seen a hundred KZbin guitar teachers. Honestly I’m not a country guy, but I’m thinking of my grampa today and he was a huge Willie fan. That and I just bought some of his product in Colorado got me thinking of this song. I’m glad to have found you.

[@Craiglife777]

Awesome thank you. I've been working on this song for about a month now, I'm in the stages of refining and adding little pieces. Great video. Thank you again.

[@raycap]

Loved the lesson & performance. One of my favorites.

[@alanklee]

Thank you for one of the most comprehensive guitar lessons on line. Your teaching method is excellent and I was able to understand nearly all of your lesson. What I want to do now is practice as much as I can this beautiful song. Thanks again for your great teaching Alan K

[@ObelixBarbatus]

More than simply competent both vocally and instrumentally. Great job!

[@liamgarrity2174]

Id love to be able to play this in memory of my dad who was one of willies biggest fans . This was played as we laid him to rest after his battle with cancer , unfortunately my talent wont allow but im going to have a good go thanks for the tutorial

[@fozalinko]

you can do it just simplify dont do the walk ups and walk downs and use B7 instead of B simple 3 chord song then. Check Party Martyon you tube for simple version.

[@lesm2373]

The best lesson for this song on KZbin. Thank you!

[@dannydangelo762]

[@worldpeacemaker852]

Thank you, for doing this exceptional KZbin guitar lesson on "Crying In The Rain by Willie Nelson" great Video! Very detailed! Awesome!

[@AidenTheron]

hey there, this is my first video that i have just watched and attempted to play with on guitar, i play on an Electric Keyboard mostly, and a month ago it got damaged after 7 years of having it, luckily my brother had a Acoustic Guitar and ever since i have been messing around with it. i already have some knowledge of music theory and reading sheet music that coupled with my ability of playing by ear helps me a lot with my music, i got the basic root notes down and decided to straight away look for a video on youtube and figure out the song, which key, which chord progression etc. and man oh man you just inspired me to learn how to play guitar fully. thank you so so much, hope you have success with all projects, and hope your channel gains more success. you just gained a new subscriber. you have an awesome voice by the way, might even compete with the big man himself haha. again, i thank you.

[@johnosullivan6620]

Thank you Jesus that was an awesome lesson!

[@LadyCroMag]

Fantastic insight for those tricky walkdown chords!!! I am now a happy follower!!!!!

[@JohnRBooth]

I've been waiting for a tutorial like this one for years! The strange minor 6 jazzy chords Willie does!! Great job and thank you! In a live show he does a jazzy scale before the A chord coming back from the solo to the structure.

[@michaelweal7721]
