Learn how to play Amie by Pure Prairie League on guitar. Great acoustic tune with cool lead intro solo in A Pentatonic major. Mostly uses open chords until the outro which requires some practice.

FINALLY, someone who shows the fret board from the view of the player instead of the observer. FINALLY!!!!!!

[@andyswanson1427]

Yes, it’s not the opposite view like other people show it. I love that!!

[@nicomas2471]

i always wondered why no one else did this either, makes it easier as a beginner where other times i've had a hard time picking a song up, i learned this intro super fast, jamming away and having fun in 10 mins

i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me

[@rexdominic2512]

@Carl Kai i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

Subscribed after watching the first 5 minutes of this. Same as what others are commenting: It is so good to see a clear, professionally-produced guitar tutorial by someone who is both a good musician and a good teacher.

[@KaptainCanuck]

The beginning four bars (and the similar a bit later) can be played simpler: bar across the first three strings on fret 2 and then finger strings 1 and 2 at the 5fth fret. (note the fret is NOT the wires themselves but IS the space between two fretWIRES). What you call the "lead intro" is, technically, called the melody, which you are missing some notes on.

[@pauladouglass9456]

I just tried and compared the two and your method is much much easier with little to no distinction in sound. This tip is especially helpful when you’re on a gig jumping from one song to another. I’ve always struggled with the other way to find the right finger placements, then test strum to make sure I had my notes clear and then start. but your method is an instant jump with zero “hunting” or “fishing” involved. Thanks for this shortcut!

[@bobmcmorrow2040]

Gary Garrett's comments say it all. Great lesson from start to finish. Everything is as clear as could be. Very simple - not to be confused with easy, but when you know what to do all that's left to do is practice. Only 9,999 more hours to go! lol

[@almorris171]

This is actually the best lesson I've seen on Aimee. The timing is clear here whereas on other lessons I have been able to pick up the notes but my timing sucked. I have yet to try it again but I thin I got it.

[@pedenmk]

This is one of the better channels I've seen for lessons.

[@CenterStageGuitar]

Wow thanks Mark! That means a lot

[@WBMservices]

Fantastic Video! I like the way you play through the song at the beginning so people can see the flow and then go into the details later. Great!!!

[@robertmason2225]

i love how you make it so easy to learn this stuff, three views and you break it down so its slower but more accurate to me thanks a lot and look forward to new stuff from you

[@joksonu1]

Wow ! This is a great lesson! Best I've seen so far here on YT. All is explained clearly an slowly and in completeness. Thanks for putting this vid together. Most folks get lost in their instruction and confuse people to no end. You didn't , very concise and easy to grasp. really good teaching techniques .

[@CenterStageGuitar]

Thanks Gary! Glad you liked the lesson

[@connerburns3551]

So well done and so well taught. Thank you

[@CenterStageGuitar]

You are so welcome!

[@richro65]

Thank you for getting the E7-9 chord at the end. Everyone else misses that and plays a plain old E7

[@tmac8892]

This dude's one of the best teachers. Thanks brah.

[@roberterdman7268]

I love the triple view of the fretboard. Very innovative idea.

[@CenterStageGuitar]

Glad you like it!

[@marksc1929]

..absolute best lesson on you tube ....done the right way....FINALLY

[@anitadoczy7012]

I love this video. I was looking for the song "Aimee" on KZbin and this came up. I don't play the guitar (fingers are not long enough, but not too stubby to play the flute!) but I'm always up to learning something new. I love your teaching style. I just stumbled onto this video and was hooked. I sat through the entire thing. I may have learned a thing or two along the way!

[@carlosa.sanchez896]

I'm surprised no one has the entire song on karaoke or any lesson. The intro ("more than I could feel, touching what is real", etc.) is lovely and has some really cool chords.

[@uspsdaveable]

CARLOS A. SANCHEZ , I think the part you’re talking about is the song “Falling in and out of love with you” they sometimes play the two songs together. Sounds great together but two different songs.

[@tim1883]

Perfect lesson video, right at my skill level. Hey...that's my Taylor too!

[@michaelfinney1194]

Great song and video! Each part of the song is carefully broken down into manageable bites of digestible information. I'm an intermediate player so this song/video is perfect for me. Thanks!

[@CenterStageGuitar]

Thanks for the comment Michael! The video for the solo part is coming soon!

[@gtsipejr]

Great lesson on a great old song. I learned how to play Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress from your lesson. Thank you.

[@ksmithreps1]

That POV camera angle is the best!

Terrific Lesson!!!!!!!!!! Exactly like the record!!!! Expertly explained!!!!!

[@arnold6453]

Excellent job.😀

I love this song! Sing it in the car 🤣

[@jimsteele9559]

Great lesson!

[@greg54321ful]

wow, amazing teacher!!!!

[@Panama_Red]

The "upside down" view on the bottom of the screen is both incredibly distorting and incredibly useful in equal measures. 👍😂

[@The-11]

Subscribed! I'm glad I found your channel. The multiple camera angles helped me pic this song up really quickly. Thanks

[@marklinville6157]

Great, great lesson.

[@CenterStageGuitar]

Hey Mark, thanks for the comment! We will be releasing the solo lesson for Amie tomorrow at 5:00PM EST

[@CenterStageGuitar]

Actually its Saturday at 5:00

[@garythomas2653]

Thanks so much, I can now make a decent effort at this beautiful song,

[@pedenmk]

Great song. Good lesson. Thanks.

[@randyherbrechtsmeier4796]

That ending Like Alice Cooper No More Mr. Nice Guy!

[@kevinwray9802]

Excellent 👏👏👏👏

[@dammitronald8789]

Great Job!!! I especially liked the part where you said "That's how Summa"😆

[@kjsiii]

Wow!! A superb lesson. Thank you.

[@happygolucky6331]

Brother i like the way you kept going for the preview some lessons are strung out way to long for beginners.Most of us know chords and just wanna see how songs are laid out.Dont need to know what fret and where my fingers go and fall asleep.

[@kimoandrews5802]

well done. thank you

[@joefranklin9881]

Great lesson. Thanks.

[@thefreese1]

great teaching ...however I came here for the lead breaks ... he did the first...which i already had and left out the second break.... :(

[@ericdouglas6400]

Nice 3 camera treatment.

[@zebulon8819]

Pov 👍👍 great job ✌️♥️

[@norrishodgin1284]

What model Taylor is that? Sounds great.

[@chaselanier265]

they really just had to flex that they have big hands with that first chord

[@kezianaomi1839]

can you please make a vid on the solo?

[@kyresearcher]

Kezia Naomi no kidding, its like every video on this song completely ignored the solo....which is exactly what most folks are searching for to begin with.

[@donnievick3076]

@@kyresearcher It's a variation of the intro, same notes, just a little different.

[@charlesanthonymaddox4864]

yes could you please make a public solo video for this cuz I like to learn how to play the solo as well did a great job on this video

[@macking9295]

@@donnievick3076 and more than a little tricky!

[@hapax87]

I really enjoy your playing and your teaching style. I think I will try out your lesson plan. What model Taylor is that ? I just bought a Model 418 CE and I love the way it plays and sounds. Perfect for flat-picking or rhythm.

[@macking9295]

Well done. Not as easy as you make it look but well explained. Ever get around to the solo?

[@banjoplayer98]

Great video with the camera angle but could you possibly say the notes you are fingering? It would help me match the notes to my instrument of tenor guitar

[@attyjim1]

Is that a Fender Paramount? Nice vid too! 😀

[@starfighter2952]

Is a shuffle played for whole song?

[@hotwired]

Nice work and thank you! (Hey...will I be judged if I leave off the pinky in the intro chord? That's the killer! haha!)

[@PenneyNews]

Thanks, love this song. Solo would be nice if you can.

[@davidhaase2041]

Here’s the solo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apiWdmitnLCco7s

Great lesson. You mentioned you may do the guitar solo in another lesson - have you done it yet and if so what's the URL?
