Kansas - Dust In The Wind Guitar Lesson Pt.1 - Intro & Verse

[@webworm13]

Thanks for this video. Here is a word of advice to all players. Please do not be intimidated by others. We all learn at a different pace. The objective is to enjoy the process. If you are slow at learning it will just require more patience and a lot of faith. If he can do it, you can do it. It isn't about showing off . Beauty and grace are not quantifiable qualities. Never give up. Good luck.

[@dutxinm6746]

very well said sir 👍

Thanks. Problem isn't really learning, problem is having small hands and a huge friken neck to try to get around. Not fun

Sir, you left this comment 4 years ago, and you just made my day Thanks!

[@gauravk30]

People think they aren't good enough. But they aren't good enough just due to lack of practice. Practice makes perfect. Period.

did the 103 with strumming first just so I can be comfortable with the chords

Would you mind telling me what the numbers mean? I’ve never really understood it

[@adamf.4823]

Every age needs its heroes.

[@ReizokoRyu]

@@mikkelhoelgaard149 if you're referring to the 1-0-3-1 thing he's talking about what fret should be pressed on the B string for each iteration of the chord. So if you're on the C chord playing the first iteration of it you'd pick these notes: -X- -3- -2- -0- -1- (this is the fretted note that changes) -0- That C (1) note on the B string will be open (0) on the next iteration, then it will be on the 3rd fret, then back to the 1st before changing to the A minor chord. (1-0-3-1) Hope this helps, cuz I was confused for a moment too

Hey thanks for the kind comment. I have a bunch of scale video lessons including pentatonic on my regular lesson channel. You can find the lessons more easily by going to my main website and clicking the lessons archive tab and checking out the intermediate and advanced lessons. Cheers! Carl.

[@enrk2006]

I have been playing about a year, and have shied away from finger picking until now. I love this song. Thanks for an awesome, and easy to follow tutorial.

[@mop9091]

5 years ago! How’s the playing been?

[@dickwinn8462]

I have been dragging my learning for years, fifty to be exact! Retired now and hardcore committed. I have picked up songs over the years, by ear mostly, a little theory here and there and some really bad habits LOL. So, for the last six months, four hours a day, most days, theory for two hours, two practice on KZbin. You have the best explanation of song tabulation so far that I’ve found. It’s funny how many guitar players are out there and their styles and even there ways of playing songs. Let me ask one thing of you. I am old school, I guess, I can follow tabs, and it’s an easy way to learn a song. Doesn’t do much for learning music though I was taught notes in school, back before computers, LOL and I have been looking at the circle of fifths and fret board navigation and theory. And believe it or not it’s sinking in, and how it all relates to guitar. When you show a cord, please explain, briefly the notes you holding, example Dust in the Wind, a C7 cord is comprised of the root C, E, G, (Bb or C). I intend to expand to reading music, I hope, but it help me locate the notes on the board and memorize positions. Hey keep up the great lessons. Dick Winn Pine Grove PA

I started learning guitar 5 years ago, started learning this song through this video 4 years ago, stopped playing guitar 3 years ago because I didn't like practicing, started playing guitar again half a year ago, came back to learn the second part a few days ago, and now have the whole song pretty much mastered. My relationship with guitar has been rocky but I truly love music now. Thanks for the great tutorial! Would've been much harder trying to learn using the tab

[@joshuacabral53]

one the best teachers online by far. Good teachers make it so easy to play. This picking lesson really opened me up to play a lot of other songs well.

Hey, thanks for playing! Your videos are the best for a beginner (and advanced) like myself! I can play the Santeria solo by Sublime pretty good only took few months… my bends and double stops are much better. Any chance you could share what position you’re playing in with your Fender in the future?

I’m two months into learning to play guitar and this video really helped me get the rhythm of the picking down. Thanks!

I've been playing for about four months (pretty much internet taught) and this video made it really easy to learn this song

This is the best explanation in my opinion. I’ve been trying to understand this song and learn it accordingly since I am still. Beginner. Thanks

Yeah I always thought it was easy for people to get lost unless I explained it that way. Glad you agree!

I've been playing the drums for over 12.5 years, but stopped about 10 years ago. Took this video as a very novice guitar player, never fingerpicked before, know all major chords. 10 minutes and I have the pattern down now. It's just automation from this point on. Excellent video :D

Luckily I suppose I became frustrated with strumming and began focusing heavily on fingerstyle about 3 weeks ago so I have those basics down and this is the best fingerstyle song tutorial I've found so far! Your delivery method is one of the best I've found! Thank you!! How someone could dislike this is beyond me.

Really, really good lesson. I think it's the first lesson on youtube that mentions the 3-1-0 pattern.... that makes the intro so much easier to learn. Also, you teach more than just the intro (unlike others) Thanks a lot!!

Disregard the above...I think I have it. I was beginning to wonder if I was a little too old to take up the guitar..I was 78 in January but I am not giving up!!! Good instructor, thanks for your help..Love and Light!

Awesome Tutorial. I'm just teaching this to a new student & just learning this myself, but had no idea it would be such an easy song to learn.

Thanks for this great lesson Carl. You have explained in very good detail the picking pattern which initially seems baffling, but you explained it so very well in simple terms that is easy to follow.

[@FacundoMogor]

You disassemble the song in a way for me to understand it, man i change the formation on every cord i play, in the intro, i doesn't realize that you could just leave your hand in the C o Am chord and just move the fingers. Thanks you are a great teacher, and guitarrist.

[@AtharvaVaidya]

If I had picked up my guitar, I'd have still managed to learn this. Extremely well taught ❤️🌸

[@stevenwallace122]

You teach real well. Its usually seen played so fast it's hard to keep up and know the routines. The finger on,off, pinky on,off. Thank you for your instructions. I feel after getting the picking pattern clean, I'll have it.

[@donnagermano]

Yes this is an excellent video. It is hard to give the information we need without talking a good bit. I'll just have to do a lot of starting and stopping to get through it. But understanding that there is a pattern really helps, both in the picking and melody lines. One of the better teaching videos. Love that guitar! Wonder what it is. Thanks!

[@xYottabyte]

My classmate said if I'm a beginner I should try this and thanks to him I now know how to play this and this is actually easy.

[@andymooney]

Excellent tutorial. I really like the 3-1-0 explanation for the melody notes. It is an excellent way to keep track of what comes next. Thanks!!!!!

[@DJZ3XY]

I've loved this song for a while now. At first when I was just trying to practice the picking pattern, it was pretty boring. Then I moved on to how the melody notes were changing in the intro, played it for the first time and now I just can't stop :D It just sounds so PERFECT. I haven't played the guitar in months and it just feels so good to play the intro :) Thanks for this awesome tutorial.

Thanks a million and keep it up.

[@Scrufflebag]

I've watched your video to go with the tablature of this song. I must say you've explained it very well. Great job! I noted the official names of the chord down for myself, per bar. Just to learn them. The only difference I see between your video and my tab is in the bar of Dm7. My tab says to pull off the 3rd string on the 2nd fret. You seem to play the 2nd string of the first fret again.
