Haven’t heard from bob in forever, hope he is doing okay. Look forward to seeing you back here some time bob.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey David! Great to hear from you- still around but haven't done a lesson in quite some time due to a lot of things- but mainly since my mom passed away. I have a new course that I'm working on but it's taking me forever... How's it going with your guitar playing? Let me know and thanks for writing!! bob

[@davidhead7723]

@@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons hey bob, good to hear from you! I am still chugging along with fingerstyle. It's one of my off and on hobbies that I always come back to and enjoy. I have been on a recent streak of about 3 months where i have played just about everyday for an hour or so! I am putting the finishing touches on a challenging song at the moment. It's souls like wheels by the avett brothers. A great song that helps polish various techniques like slides and keeping steady tempo with the thumb on bass strings. Take care bob!

[@ass6800]

@@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons I'm sorry to hear about that Bob . Take care!

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey David, sorry that I missed your reply here- hope you are still getting in some guitar time. I will go without guitar for a break and I find it refreshing many times to get back again, just as long as the layoff is not too long.. I am traveling now though and without a guitar- first time I have done a thing like this and I am having a guitar fit! Hope the Souls Like Wheels song is going well. happy 2020, year of the fingerstyle guitar!!

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey everybody, here's an intermediate version of "Don't Think Twice it's Alright" with the chord positions Bob Dylan used for this song. IF YOU FEEL LEFT OUT WITH THIS LESSON...the entire series can be found here.. starting from easy and working our way up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWnHdJeLgdWmh6s happy pickin' !!! bob

[@richardvaughan9994]

Love ya buddy. You got the best channel on KZbin, I’ve seen them all there’s so many but none can compare to youre channel.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Richard, always big thanks to you for enthusiasm and keepin' with it all. This lesson is a little advanced, in fact, I don't usually play these chords myself. Hope all is well and thanks as always! bob

[@Chaiaurchutney]

Love your videos sir, why do you stoped making video now a days we want more tutorial like this and specially like you explain for d chord we want every chord to be explained like this.salute for your work sir.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hi Dino, you are a great person for your kind words and encouragement. I wish everyone cared as much as you :). I will do more videos and yes, this is such a good idea for doing all the chords like this... I seriously will do this, and I hope that everyone will appreciate it even half as much as you do.. I will be back soon Dino, thank you so much!!! Are you on my vip list? Also, I have a lot of course on fingerpicking with free study guides ... this is what I am teaching on my site- the fingerstyle guitar. My e mail address is [e-mail] and I will send them to you if you write me. Thanks again!! bob

[@Chaiaurchutney]

I just started learning guitar like a week a ago and i have learned my first chord D major from your D chord explanation video and now i play d major very easily and now i am looking for A chord explanation video which keeps me demotivating to play guitar due to middle string not buzzing properly so can you please make a video on A major as well as E major chord.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

@@Chaiaurchutney Thanks again Dino! Will do so.. In the meantime, here's a video that will help a lot about body positioning which will help with any chord.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnLNiaGurpaqbNU I will start with new videos in a few weeks after more than a year due to family illness which was a struggle for me. Sounds like you are doing very well and am very happy- great student = great guitar!! bob

[@dakotahstr]

That's so pretty Bob. I love the way you play.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Thank you and always so nice to see you here! Hope all is well and you are getting some time to pick!!

[@jimdawson5299]

Duo instructors! Brilliantly done!

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Thanks Jim- I'll have to get Larry over for some more like this- he's great. Have a great weekend- bob

[@helenisenor4408]

Hi Bob First and foremost I hope you are well and safe . so far we are okay here at the moment.. I hope we can see you soon with more videos . I am isolated by myself and look forward to continuing learning my guitar. Funny this is where we started off 3 years ago. Hope to hear from you. Helen in Canada

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey my friend Helen! Glad you guys are okay - New Jersey is getting dangerous but I've been so busy working in the studio so it just seems all normal to me (I don't get out much!). Yes, I am planning to get back to lessons real soon. I even have someone fixing my site up. Stay safe okay! bob

[@Aveal]

Man that was an awesome episode! Played the whole evening! Not up to speed yet but chords sound nice already! Can’t wait for the next episode though! Edit: Spelling ;)

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey GimletSc, thank you for watching, and the kind words. The next lesson will be of course the fingerstyle rhythm and melody at the same time... !!

[@Aveal]

Thank you for your answer! I´m so ready for the challenge!

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

This should be out the following week... Thanks and have fun!... bob

[@bgtrev]

Hi Bob, new challenge again only up to the intro so far, long way to go, still enjoying learning and your teaching methods. Thanks again and all the best.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Trev, I've been in the tank as I call it lately so my apologies for the delay. I am hoping to get back soon but one thing after another is getting in my way. I need to figure out a way to make a video in 1 evening!!! I will be back though!! Thanks for keeping me posted my friend... bob

[@bgtrev]

@@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons Take care and keep well, plenty to be going on with here still. Thanks again.

[@yandeni]

I was eager to discover the secret of the beautiful and subtle chords that enrich this song: thumb over the neck chords, a feature of Jimi Hendrix, I heard. Useful to avoid barre chords but not sure to succeed. Fortunately, Bob has cooked up a simplified version! Thanks Bob!

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

it's got to be easier with the thumb on the other guitar you are using (instead of the wide neck classical). That neck as I recall was very wide!!. and would be so hard to reach the thumb over.

[@yandeni]

Hi Bob. Not so easy! No more trouble for thumb over neck. I get a clean A note (checked with Snark tuner). Everything is altered when I try forming the 3 other notes of the Fchord because my thumb changes its position slightly. So I should play this measure 6-3-4-2 in 2 steps: first, thumb alone on string 6 then lift it, then 3-4-2. Very slowly it's possible as showed by Larry at 7:36 but not faster... Moreover I have to release the thumb so that the other 3 notes sound properly. With time i hope improve!

[@Liza-jd9bp]

Thank you very much Bob and Larry! Very easy to understand

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

You are welcome Lisa!! Larry's one of my guitar hero's and also an excellent teacher too. Hope we can do some more together... happy pickin' !! bob

[@alv6535]

Hi Bob - I decided to pick up Don't Think Twice again. I love it! At the end of the 4th video, you have a discussion with Larry about another version that you were going to release -- Advanced with melody notes. I don't think you ever made a video but do you have the sheet music for this version for Don''t Think Twice? Many thanks, Al

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Al, I just e mailed you!! bob

[@yandeni]

Fantastic video, Bob ! we are lucky to study guitar with so good instructors. First feelings: Larry's F chord is impossible to play with my small hand and a classical guitar. I borrowed a folk dreadnought guitar (Gibson J-35 style) with 43mm at the nut instead of 53. I can reach 6th string, F is buzzing, hurts fingers with its steel chords... Maybe i go back to your so nice and easy F chord, but i dont give up too early. Both are pleasant. About left thumb, i am trying a trick for making it longer it : an old thimble to sew, best in silicone or rubber. It works! F doesn't buzz anymore.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Viv, this is why I did those first videos in this series. Yes, your current guitar is difficult to play with such a wide neck. Wish I had money I would buy you a small neck guitar. Wow with this finger innovation... o, I have to hear more about this!!!

[@helenisenor4408]

Thank you Bob and Larry. Great video, The thumb will need a lot of practice lol. Good job

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Helen, yes, the thumb is a little tricky but I did give an alternative to this in the first parts of the series. That works just fine I think... I'll be back later- session now all day.. thanks Helen!!

[@helenisenor4408]

My hands to small to reach around so will use your way, That will work for me. Talk soon

[@may6178]

I hope you’ll still make more videos in the future. I’ve started playing guitar recently because of this situation and boredom, and I've found your channel, your videos are making me progress a lot. Take care :)

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hi May, thank you for taking the lessons here and glad you are playing!!! and yes, I am coming back soon! I just started again with more videos and plan to have something out real soon. Lots of stuff on the channel too so, even if you speed through it, I'll have something new soon. All the best and happy pickin' !! bob

Rick U Also looking forward to lesson 5 was well.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Richard, kind of got cut short with the covid as Larry was supposed to do that one. I have it on my list of to do's though. Thanks for taking the lessons and hope they helped! bob

[@gabrielsly1481]

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Jord, thank you for taking the lessons here and when I get back to lessons (soon I hope) this sounds like a good song to do. All the best and happy 2020! bob

[@BonnyRoni]

I’m enjoying watching you both playing along and explaining the chords and different changes. May I ask if Larry wears a false fingernail on his right thumb, which seems to make sense as the thumb is used so much. Love Larry’s hat. Thank you you are both wonderful people.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Veronica, glad you like the video. Pretty certain no fake nail for Larry- he's kind of a real sort of guy... (ha ha). hope he reads this>.>.

[@BonnyRoni]

Hiya Bob, I’m amazed that you both give up so much of your time to help students learn and play better. Larry’s hat has shrunk unless he has more than one. He suits it. I’ve watched again and just think his thumb nail is slightly longer. I love the interaction between you both.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Larry doesn't know this yet but I'm going to trade some studio time for doing this. Very common for fingerstyle pickers to grow their thumb longer.. I'm an oddball with this as I play with short nails. Larry had a wide variety of hats!

[@BonnyRoni]

He suits his hats and is a fantastic guitar player, just like you, Bob. Lol

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Larry's got one talented left hand.. stuff that he does (such as that Police song Message in a Bottle, is near impossible- I would have to find a different way to play that.

[@vinnyoorsprong62]

Bob, is that a microfoon what is hanging in the guitarwhole? just a mic or a complete digital mini sound block in the guitar. thanks for your anwering. a good example find good followers.....😉👍😊💪

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hi Vinny, I have two microphones set up as stereo pair that you can clearly see in Song 1. In the other songs I was able to hide the mics out of camera view but I don't have any pickup or digital mini sound block as I just use microphones. Hope this helps!! bob

[@johnnybx3254]

Thanks Bob! Great Lesson!

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey John, hope all is well with you and I'm glad you liked the lesson. Hoping that everyone here will at least try it. All the best and happy pickin' !! bob

[@yandeni]

Hi Bob, delighted to discover this 4th lesson with the beautiful new chords that I can not wait to learn. It is so well explained, there should not be big difficulties, only happiness! I wanted to try at once but in the Dropbox I can not find any sheet music related these new chords, I only see version 1. As well for the Tux Guitar file. Unless i am wrong... If you could activate the subtitles, it's very useful for non-native speakers like me :-)) Cannot thank you enough!!!

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hi VIV, lesson 4 files I just checked are there. It says "Lesson 4 files...Don't Think Twice" and it's a folder you open up and when you do, the tux file and sheet music is there. Let me know if you can access, but I can see from both of my computers and my ipad the files here. I hope so!!! Thanks VIV.... let me know... bob

[@yandeni]

You're right Bob, i got them, thanks, Bob and sorry. I have been too impatient!

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

whew, glad glad glad!!! I double and triple checked last night that the links worked and even checked on my ipad. Nearly lost my breath reading your mail but relieved you got it... Good luck with this Viv, just take your time... talk soon. bob!

[@yandeni]

I hope it is not too late to activite subtitles in English, that would help me a lot Bob. Easier to understand a written version than an oral. If it is too late, that will go. Thanks again.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

hi viv, for some reason the subtitles that were automatically generated by KZbin are not there anymore, and the option of editing the mistakes are not even present. They are now asking me to type in all the words manually, or pay 50$ to a service to put the subtitles in... Oh my...as if I didn't have enough to do and now this... I guess from their perspective, they were loosing money by having this service available.. This is a new BIG PROBLEM!!!! Not sure what to do... a video like this would take me about 4 hours to type out.

[@craighemingway477]

Great lesson .wheres lesson 5

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Craig, glad you liked the lesson. Larry hasn't been back at the studio due to covid so we never did a 5. Hoping to get him back soon though. Have a great guitar week and thanks for commenting here. bob

[@reginag6844]

Awesome! Thank you so much for these valuable videos. Was video lesson 5 ever released?

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hi Regina, thank you very much for taking the lessons here! I still have to get Larry to come back into the studio to do the lesson 5 with the fingerpicking melody and rhythm combined. Hoping we can get to that soon!! My studio has been a ghost town with the covid but I'm still doing remote producing and recording. Different world we live in! Wishing you good pickin' this weekend!! bob

[@yandeni]

Hi Bob, First of all, how are you going ? I observe with pleasure that you faithfully follow the comments but that you have not published anything for a long time. I guess you're too busy to publish. At this time of year, I assume that people are rushing to Silent Night and Amazing Grace! I hope everything is going well for you, whatever you do. I'm re-studying this great Dylan song and your awesome videos. Almost everything comes back under the fingers despite a long break, it's magic. I had understood that you had developed (or intended to?) the accompanying version with the fully built-in melody in finger picking. If that's right, do you intend to publish it some day? At the moment I am passionate about Native American Flute (NAF), with its bewitching sound. I ordered a flute in G key Pentatonic minor, hand made by a native craftsman in US. I hope to have the opportunity to talk about it or other things here or by email. I wish you a great December month, Bob. Gratefully, Viv.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hi VIV!!! Yes, I'm still here answering the channel which by the way is doing very well here.. More views, more subscribers (almost 100 thousand!) and no new videos all this time... so... it's good and bad. The last bunch of videos I did at least a year ago haven't done well at all, with hardly any views and virtually no growth. I keep looking and seeing that others on KZbin with the exception of a few sites have less views overall as well. I think this is due to the huge amount of lessons and there's only room for so many as they say. a little demoralizing working so hard on the video and a drop in the views for the new material. Still, I will get back, I promise... I've been so busy and lots of new stuff that I will have to tell you about sometime, but right now the latest thing is I am working on a new gospel course with a bass player and singer, but it is taking a long time to finish.. Larry was supposed to do the advanced Dylan lesson but I have to see what I can do to get him over here.. I saw him a few months ago in a jazz session but nothing with lesson stuff. I have one of those flutes !!!! Had a native American make it for me- he is from Florida. It is just sitting here- I never play it but it's beautiful.! Okay, we talk some more soon my dear VIV!!!

Hey, Bob! It's your student. Hope all is well? Haven't heard from or given you feedback in a while. Everything is alright at my end and I'm getting better. Having trouble with bar chords.

[@AcousticGuitarVideosLessons]

Hey Neo, the barr chords are difficult and just require good finger strength and technique. I have yet to show any of these chords for a lesson but hope to at some point.
