Thanks Alan! Happy to get one on your list!

[@alang6915]

@@campfire_guitar_lessons you actually get a few on my set list. Running on empty, take it easy, to name but 2. Next year myself and wife are coming to America, west coast and Nashville…. Bucket list trip.

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@alang6915Love it! If you’re planning on passing near the San Francisco Bay Area we’ll have to see if you can join in on my local jam session.

[@alang6915]

@@campfire_guitar_lessons wow that would be an absolute dream. Have to borrow a guitar though 😀 I’ll let you know when we’re booked and our travel plans. Love to meet you and your guitar friends, an honour in fact.

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@alang6915 Sounds great Alan. I typically go to Europe in the late June to July timeframe, FYI. Otherwise, we get together every Monday at 10 AM at the Concord, CA Vet Center.

[@BarristerBarnes]

Sometimes it just needs to said, this was fucking awesome!!! Great job dude! Sounds spectacular!!!

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Made my day, Mr. Barrister! Thank you!

[@fretworkband3204]

Great interpretation for acoustic. Love the Who! Anything else you want to do: Behind Blue Eyes, Pinball Wizard, et al, I’m all ears. 😂

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Thanks FB! I actually have one from Quadrophenia in the hopper… The Real Me. It’s a rocker! Maybe in a couple of months.

[@deadwood3764]

Ahh that's a good one.

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Thanks DW!

[@sixstringhans-tone5574]

Dude! Cool version! ✌🏼

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Thanks Hans!

[@paulwilson1110]

Thank you Mike for a brilliant tutorial. A favourite i never would have considered for acoustic. I'm struggling to play that groove with the G and C and sing without losing the groove. So frustrating as its crying out to sung. Trying to be patient and nail the groove. You're clearly a master player/singer.

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Thanks for your kind words, Paul! I encourage you to keep after it, and it will come. Just now getting ready to record this week’s lesson. Stay tuned!

[@ConjuntoFan]

I am not familiar with this song, but songs nice. Is that a standard capo? Looks shorter. Have a great weekend and Father's Day...thanks!

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Thanks Tony! It’s a 5 string capo from Shubb capos. But a 6 clamp on capo will work just fine.
