There was a mistake in the tabs at 4:35; the second chord should be the st fret G string and 2nd fret B string. Great thanks to all PATRONS for your continued support, your TABS for this video is availabe at : bit.ly/376BN2t Love and peace, GP

Take the time to let it heal properly. Hands wounds are difficult to stop from opening up. Obviously.

Awesome

Guitar Pilgrim I literally learned this song like hours b4 this video was uploaded 😂 I think it's sounds really cool on my 1970 eko rio bravo because the bass strings have quite a woody sound, hence why I call the eko woody

[@cranberrysack2139]

Kinda sad since my grandmother just passed yesterday. The funeral is this Friday, and I might possibly be playing a song for it. It’s a Catholic funeral, so they usually are pretty strict about what songs they let you play. They usually have to be songs with a religious message to it. If it gets approved, I will be playing this song. One of the reasons why I’m playing this song is because yesterday, on the day of her death, I spontaneously started to hear Tears in Heaven in my head in the early afternoon. This reminded me of my grandmother, since I knew that she was down to her final few days. When I got home from school, I found out that she had passed. When I asked about when she had passed, it turns out it was almost exactly around the time that I had my sudden realization about her. It just seemed so surreal. I’m not the most religious person, but this just seemed like it was meant to be. This was meant to be played at her funeral. To see this video pop up in my feed only reinforces that idea. Great video, keep up the good work, and remember that even though people in your life come and go, they are always with you in some way.

Hi Gilbert! Awesome that you're going to buy a new guitar soon, I would recommend that you try out Taylor guitars or Martin (bit more expensive) they both make excellent guitars!

[@sapelesteve]

Great lesson & I hope that your finger heals up fine! Only wish that I could play guitar half as good as you. After giving it my best shot over the past 5 years, I know that I can never reach that caliber of playing. Hell, I can't even play through basic chords fast enough to even play an easy song! So now I really just try playing for the fun of it since I made my Acoustic guitar myself............ 👍👍

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Hi Steve, just keep playing brother, in the final analysis it al comes down to having fun with the instrument and being sincere in whatever you play, put your own personality into it! One of my favorite players is John Lee hooker, he's playing really was quite messy, all over the place, but his feel and personality were unmatched and that's more important!

[@sapelesteve]

[@ralphralpherson9441]

So... I have a little issue with the crawl-down part at 4:44. The first two chords look right (F# Min, and C# Maj inversion) but the 3rd chord just calls for Em in your tab and there's definitely should be the skeleton of an Emin6 chord there in the recording. I play it open low E, Open G string, and 2nd fret on the B string (0,0,2) to get the 6th in there, then for the fourth chord is a simple F# Dom 7. You can play it like an E7 barred on the 2nd fret and still get that lovely 6th to 7th chord resolution... then the 5th chord is Bmin7 (So your tab is basically correct here) and the lovely final chord is correct also with that pretty Dsus2 chord with E in the bass. Lovely.

[@tomgiles1484]

Another great video, Thom. Instead of using my thumb on the E string for the chords in the beginning, I find it more comfortable to use my second finger. Is there any advantage to using the thumb, or is it just your preference?

By the way, I hope your finger heals quickly. There's nothing worse than a cut finger for a guitarist. I trapped the index finger of my right hand in a car door once and had to have three stitches in it which left me with a very unusual fingerprint. Fortunately, it healed OK and only stopped me from playing the guitar for a couple of weeks. I'm intrigued by your guitar. The top looks like spruce and the back and sides look like maple or sycamore which would give it a brighter more percussive tone more suited to Flamenco than classical guitar. Do you play Flamenco? I live in the home of Flamenco (Andalusia) but have never tried to learn it. Bit of a shame really but as I've always loved the Blues, Rock, Folk and Country, taking on Flamenco as well has always seemed like a bridge too far!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Hi Joe, you live in Andalusia? That's awesome! I have the same thing when I hear someone like Paco de lucia... that seems like a bridge too far for me!! Love flamenco music though!! greetings from Ireland
