How to Play If You could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot (cover) - Easy 6 Chord Tune

[@melroberts7987]

RIP Gordon Lightfoot..Thanks Marty.

[@casilatino]

I have learned the fingerpicking for this song and it took me over a month and I realized I couldn’t do the fingerpicking and sing at the same time so now after seeing this video, I have decided to strum the chords instead of picking.

[@partymartyeasyguitartunes1711]

That’s great glad I couple help!!

[@christopherobrien6570]

What a great lesson! It passes the sixty something beginners test. A much loved song from my youth, and now, I can, in my fashion, play along to it. The feathering of the strums really makes a difference. As we say over on this side of the Atlantic, Nice One Marty.

[@jamesoaks69]

Thank you for your generosity and kindness. It is helping me to capture the spirit of Mr. Lightfoot on my own guitar right here in Missouri, USA. Canada is a beautiful country with wonderful people.

[@robertmcling2103]

Half Canadian. Lived and went to school in both countries. Now living in Missouri, as well. Love learning Gordon's great songs on my guitar.

[@kevincarter2569]

I love your tutorials - especially since I am not very good. I wish you could sometimes flash the chord name on the screen as you switch during the play along just in case my eyes and brain don't tell me what chord you are playing. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

[@partymartyeasyguitartunes1711]

That comes with practice my friend. I do that on purpose. The more you practice, the more you will start to recognize the chords and play along. Keep at it, it will come. Good luck. Hey, I'm trying to reach 100k subscribers so please spread the word about my channel, it would be greatly appreciated

Marcus Werner Absolut - true words. 👍

[@partymartyeasyguitartunes1711]

Thanx again Marcus for your continued support. I appreciate you telling your friends about me. Take care to you and yours

[@kromedge]

Awesome tutorial as usual. Not trying to be critical, but didn’t Lightfoot use a capo at the second fret for pretty much all of his songs - this one included??

[@partymartyeasyguitartunes1711]

Thanx, I've seen him do it both ways, depended on his voice that day I guess. It fits better for me open. Thanx for tuning in. Hey, I'm trying to reach 100k subscribers so please spread the word about my channel, it would be greatly appreciated

[@rickthompson437]

Sunshine superman please Marty

[@sdjakeblues]

Could you give a close up that C to the Am change???

[@AnManIbr]

PartyMarty...a request. Its not popular, But Mr Make Believe (Gene Simmons of Kiss) I would love it!!!!

[@frankeggentorp4651]

Thanks Marty for this video...As you´re Canadian, perhaps you can make another video of another great canadian artist (for me canada´s best music export) Amanda Marshall. I would like to to play one of the following songs by her Let it rain Believe in you Dark horse Beautiful Goodbye I would really apreciate..thanks in advance... cheers from Germany...Frank

[@partymartyeasyguitartunes1711]

All great tunes from a truly great Canadian artist. I will put your suggestions on on the list for a possible future project. Greetings from Canada. Take care and stay safe

[@arieswaters]

So when I watched him playing on the BBC he was using a capo?

THANKS FOR SHARING THE CHORDS, MARTY, LOVIN' YOUR GUITAR LESSON FROM WHICH I BENEFIT A GREAT DEAL . COULD YOU TEACH US PLAY THE COUNTRY SONG NAMED ONE OF THESE DAYS BY EARL MONTGOMERY, WHICH WAS PERFORMED BY GEORGE JONES AND EMMYLOU HARRIS. I KNOW YOU ARE BUSY BUT IF IT COULD BE POSSIBLE, I WILL BE APPRECIATED. HAVE A GOOD DAY.

[@paulcrooks4467]

You Canadian Marty?

[@partymartyeasyguitartunes1711]

Yessir and proud of it!!

[@Strummer2212]

Should have gone through verse 1 slowly and showed chord changes and melody with voice. I found this hard to understand when usually you are my go to tutorial.

[@ethelip5239]

This is a much-simplified version of the actual song. Especially, check out how Gordon plays the F chord- it’s much more interesting than the straight F here.. And don’t forget the capo on 2nd fret to give it the right key, where it sounds so much more correct!

[@LinN-ji1jy]

Capo the second fret dude. Gordie does.

[@jimcrossland3575]

Not trying to be picky but this is in wrong key if anyone watched him play it he always played with a capo on second fret

[@partymartyeasyguitartunes1711]

Just the way I play it my friend. To each his own I always say!!

[@jimcrossland3575]

@@partymartyeasyguitartunes1711 but still wrong maybe that is why the real sites are pulling teaching on e bay to bits.

[@aeroplod]

@@jimcrossland3575 Hey Jim It's never wrong. It depends on the singers vocal register. The picking is neither right nor wrong either... This is all about getting folks to play and sing. We should encourage that. The worst thing is to vehemently stick to the original then make a mess of the high notes if your voice can't get there. Did you know that Harrison dropped from A to G as he matured on 'Here Comes the Sun' ? If he can do it ......!
