How to Play Annie's Song by John Denver - Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

[@peggyriverain]

Such a beautiful song! Thank you for the great lesson. :) By the way, love the quote in your Newsletter - “It’s the hard times in life that make the good times all that bit sweeter.”

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Peggy, glad you liked the quote too. I believe it's true

[@jrennerc]

Love your old tutorials cause you used to play with a yamaha compass and youre the only other person ive seen with that guitar!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

It's a great guitar! Thanks

[@FionaMisty]

I perform in a different key, love that this song can do that and doesn't lose its magic❤

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

I reckon this one would work in most keys. Cheers

hi chris, love the videos! I would love if you’d have a look at doing a video on bleecker street by simon and garfunkel as struggling to get the style down and it is such a beautiful song !!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks, yeah that's a nice one!

Hi Chris , I just finished learning classical gas on your tutorial , can you do Only Elliot by Tommy Emmanuel ?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

That's great good for you! Perhaps one day I'll do Only Elliot

Have you've ever heard the song forever in blue jeans by neil diamond?? It has a really nice picking part in the intro and there is no tutorials on youtube. I thought I'd just suggest it

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks for the suggestion!

Love how easy these lessons are to follow, would be great if you could do a version of Alice in Chains: Nutshell at some point 😁

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot, and thanks too for the request

@@SixStringFingerpicking I have tried myself but I’m lost when it comes to working out what notes to play on the guitar to match the singing part of the song! Any tips or is it just a good ear and trial/error?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

@@callumclark8815 Yeah I'd really recommend working on your ear here, it will help a lot. Start with simple songs, like nursery rhythms and build up from there. It takes time but stick with it
