[@juliepokela506]

Great lesson! I’ve unsuccessfully tried learning that intro many times, but you break it down in a way that’s manageable.

[@birgithade5022]

After one week I have to tell you that I can play that song. I'm very happy about that!!!! I didn't play for a long time. It is so much fun!!! Thank you!!!!

[@sdriza]

still playing?

[@birgithade5022]

I play, then I forget and try again. You'll never start from scratch. Somethings will always stick 😂

[@ekimozturk1964]

by far the best guitar lesson I have ever seen

[@lucertola260]

I've never satisfactorily sorted out that intro. You've cracked it and provided a really clear lesson. Thanks so much.

[@carlosdangerio4755]

That was an awesome easy to follow lesson Thank you so much and really appreciate the little add ons to make it sound more musical for one guitar

[@missbknodel]

Man. This really got to me. Fantastic. The fires are burning us down but our spirits will rise.

[@themuffinman1807]

The way you teach is actually digestible

[@JOSEMORALES-vu2wm]

Excellent lesson. You are a great teacher for this beautiful song. Thanks a lot, you are the man!!

[@UriahHeep100]

Excellent! Remember like yesterday when this hit #1 in England!! The greatest time in music!!

[@DmitryKush]

Шикарно!!! Решил научиться петь и играть эту песню. Спасибо. Привет из России (Москва)

[@ХоакинЭльТяпо]

Научился?

[@DmitryKush]

@@ХоакинЭльТяпо Да, пел под минусовку. Под гитару тоже...

[@davepenton4137]

It's great that you can sing and teach at the same time, too many teachers can't actually sing

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Your intro and first verse is so accurate ---DYNOMITE !--All the others I listened to do not sound quite right --you are SPOT ON !

[@345kobi]

Appreciate this excellent lesson. The added strums in the intro certainly add. I have said this regarding Rob's other lesson but - He is a great teacher.

[@aab9828]

The best tutorial on KZbin...by far!!!

[@boneyrone]

Great sir !!! Thank you for helping me overcome the couple of places that I hadn't played... Really appreciate it!!

[@cesarveralatorre5198]

What a pleasant voice. Very good played sir

[@stuarttaylor4990]

Sweet voice on him.

[@RP-zr9rw]

Excellent . Finally getting there. Good pace ( slow/ direct/showing examples). Thanks for putting in time.

[@joanallen2187]

Thanks for that lesson- I really enjoyed it. Have loved this song since I first heard it as a teenager in the 80s!! Probably had heard it as a baby!! Lol

[@ThresholdZhor]

You are one of the few that makes the intro exactly as the original, good

[@juanblankevoort428]

Thanks

[@vanillacreem816]

Fablulous lesson. Wanted to learn this for the longest time -thanks!

[@1952-M]

Excellent lesson. I throw away the capo and use this song as an exercise in bar chording as well as transposing a song up and down the fret board.

[@gxzman517]

For y’all learning and struggling with the F chord just use the Fmaj7, ofc not the same but gives a similar sound

[@jamesspeare2991]

I love the way your fingers behave so well!!! Mine seem to have a mind of their own!!!

[@lavendergilly5843]

gotta make them submit to mama

[@morphorhetenor1390]

No new posts for a long time. Thank you so much for all of your lessons. I've been working on them, and they have helped me greatly. Thanks again.

[@carlosadrianbocca5486]

Hey man! You are a great teacher! Congratulations and thanks for your lesson. This song is one of my favorites and i can play now. Have a good time!!

[@cathalwhelehan]

Luthier: What style of inlays would you like on this guitar? Swiftlessons: Yes, please.

[@Geopholus]

Great lesson ! So easy to understand... i'm lov'n' it. "Sus" is short for suspension like the type of bridge that spans San Francisco bay. Rhymes with bus.

[@gackjt]

Best teacher on the tube.

[@GeriWardMusic]

Awesome song love your lesson. The only person I’ve seen so far play it correctly. Thank you 😊

[@Fenrir1978]

Thank's perfect best lesson i found on KZbin for this song 👍

[@budandbean1]

You've done a great job with this tune! It sounds so good and the intro is spot on. Heck, it's all right on... This is one of those songs that I was in elementary school when it came out and it was a bit past its prime when I picked up guitar in high school so I really never tried to play it. Now hearing you play it again makes me want to give it a try so thanks for all that you have done here, I'm going to grab the destructions and give it a go! Thank you! Thank you!

[@yongrhee251]

Awesome. I will practice. practice. practice until my fingers go numb. I think I can do it!

[@edytrejo164]

beautifull,detailed,and flawless..congratulations pal,you're rhe man..thanks a lot.

[@adrienneblackburn730]

i like to hear you play sing and green green grass of home i love that song it bring memories to me thank you dont stop i just on your lessons and i will support you

[@KurtSpaugh]

Very nice. So clean and comfortably presented. I often abandon others for thei inability to stop prattling on about nothing, or excruciating excursions into this or that. None here, fine business. For the turn at the end of verse, I like to use Esus4 -> E7 because it sounds like freakin magic. Even if you don't teach it, I'd love to hear/see you play "Opinion on love" by Mac Macanally.

[@lclover77]

Awesome and thank you for your kindness, also I love to see a dog having a nap on the carpet ( I am an animal lover too ) .....good on you .....blessings !!

[@gtsipejr]

Wow, not sure if your playing or singing impressed me more. Had to rate them even. Super job all around.

[@scottt3100]

I just subscribed. I've finally found my teacher. Freaking amazing!

[@josemorazan3343]

fantastic, clear and precise, I am absolutely learning a lot with you.

[@joedeangelis5826]

Great lesson...very thorough and precise. Love the song. Just one comment about the Sus4 chord. It's usually pronounced Sus...like US with an S in front. Thanks! 🎸🎶

[@vinceboston7451]

Right! At first I thought he was Canadian or something. Great video but when he says "suess" I CRINGE! lol Sus is short for suspended so pronounced "sus". A small note for next time. :) Good voice, good TOWtorial. ;)

[@masonprice9514]

You and Marty are the only people I can learn from 🤟🤟🤟

[@colink4823]

Absolutely excellent video, great playing and singing. Very clear instructions

[@robwilliford2898]

Thanks for posting! The dog in the background is a nice addition.

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks Rob, that’s Otis, he was the absolute best of boys.

[@iraceruk]

Great song, great video. This is how to make a guitar song tutorial 👍👍👍

[@Mikee535]

Agree... this is the way to do it... play song first then explain the details for those who need it. More advanced players get it in the first 3 minutes.

[@diegobejaranovergnaud3476]

Man, your singing is superb!!! and the playing and teaching !!!

[@blayneb7290]

Beautiful job on a simple but beautiful song. And yes, your voice is superb. Bravo!

[@nolimitgutters67]

Can you do never going back by Fleetwood Mac and by the way you're one of the best acoustic guitar teachers on KZbin thank you for all your time and hard work

[@emiliolombardo]

Great voice bro, and great tutorial! Thanks!

[@craigdickinson1796]

Very lively take on this classic,i didn't realise it had so many chords lol.John Phillips knew a good tune.I would love to hear 'Red Balloon' by Tim Hardin as a possible lesson as no-one seems to be teaching it anywhere.It's a peach of a tune.Ditto 'Black-Sheep-Boy'.?

[@leoeliaemimi]

Man, you are so good..what a beautiful voice! I´ve just started learning to play guitar but I´m trying to play this song like you!! I do not even know the acords names but I will not givve up, it´s dificult. Thank you so much for this lesson!!!

[@MeMe-dw1sm]

Keep it up

[@61verleihnix]

you are a good teacher,I just subscribed..greetings from Germany !!

[@dlpnfn22]

Great lesson, thanks for the bridge section!

[@paulhorten2736]

Fantastic tutorial. Very easy to follow. Thanks

[@giovannibinazzi8725]

Wow! Amazing performance!!.. very good explanation!! thank you so much!

[@andybiondi195]

Forget the guitar stuff lol, your singing is amazing (minus a couple flat spots) and what nice tone, excellent. Very cool!!!! And ya you nail the intro on guitar and the other stuff too. Cool reverb in the room. Also the fret board looks nice and oiled. I might consider a version of this for sure maybe adding a flamenco style solo while keeping the chords. Dare I say your version is very close to the original and that is exactly what people want. I find the original kind of rote and tend to add more off beats on the strums to follow and support the singing. A+++ job sir ( A for Awesome).

[@ron.v]

Spot on! Best intro for this song I've heard on the net.

[@jadeelephants3948]

You’re a very good teacher! 👍🏼👏🏼

[@ellesnyder942]

That was great- I've loved that song since I was a kid. (many moons Ha.) Nice break-down. If I wasn't here for the lesson, I'd want to hear your first run-thru just to sing along as harmony.

[@themastersstrings]

Wow amazing guitar teacher! :D Subscribed! 😀

[@JohnMartin-ng5ug]

Terrific. One of may great ones from you. I signed up.

[@markgrace145]

Great lesson. Sounds great !! Cheers.

[@Dutcharmytent]

Can you do a lesson on setting up the stool and music stand so your eye line also sees the fretting. As intermediate player and watching you play today, this would have helped me so much a year ago as it never got covered in the lessons.

[@darrengerrard]

Great singing,great playing

[@nicolen.9642]

Great lesson as usual! Brilliant cover! Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@Edgar323]

Learned the first three parts in one day! I just started 🙏🏽😂

[@cerclesvicieux]

You probably know this by now, since I am stumbling upon your tutorial rather late, but you left the E7 chord shape off your TAB page even though you use it on the Tab page as well as in the video. Nevertheless, you still have a very solid lesson here and I appreciatee your sharing.

[@thetoykeet]

Great job on the song! Spot on.
