How to play 'Lovers In A Dangerous Time' by Bruce Cockburn

[@powee2003]

Much appreciation for your teaching and downloads. Just found you here, late to the game. Thank you!

[@mikes.8606]

Another AWESOME lesson! Thanks Shane for the video and the TAB!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Mike - I really appreciate the encouragement. My best to you, Shane

[@MelodyMaker]

Was at the Binge Lounge first before "poppin'" over. Thanks for this Shane. I might give it a go.

[@cgoodwin2127]

Thank you! This is really helpful!

[@kenelder5182]

This lesson was bloody brilliant. Thank you, sir!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Glad you enjoyed Ken! Shane

[@GregBerg-ii9qg]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much for providing your guitar knowledge here. 👍

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Greg - very glad you enjoyed. Cheers! Shane

[@marcosriano56]

great video, great teacher

[@drunkviggo7263]

Damn bro you play this song well.

[@unactor]

Excellent lesson! Another Bruce Cockburn song that has a great acoustic sound (and, I think, unique tuning) is “Loner”. It would be fantastic if you would delve into that one and enlighten us on it! You’re a great instructor.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you - cheers! Shane

[@markkarpinski1460]

Bruce has been my favorite singer-songwriter for over 30 years and I am always trying to get anywhere close to playing some of his songs. Thank you kindly.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Mark - glad to have you with us! Shane

[@KeithMMarzilliEricson]

This was fabulous! I love this song and I've wanted to learn to play it for a while. Thanks!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Keith - much appreciated and glad it helped you! Shane

[@MontrealMusiciansExchange]

Nice attitude Shane! I’m feeling the love (of music) and of course subscribed!

[@southendbluesband]

I love this song. Thanks for teaching it!

[@jackd2587]

This is a fantastic lesson! I was trying to figure this out from that same video of Bruce and his picking style is certainly a challenge, so your breakdown really helps. Thanks! Now it's time to practice a ton.

[@candacecrocker2029]

Wow! I like the way you taught this & the options you have provided...very clear, also. Thank you.

[@darioflorian8344]

A big tks from Italy.

[@dippin1523]

wow thats pretty darn good.

[@eddeleeuw155]

Thanks Shane and thanks Fred... :-) Great song.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Ha! Thank you Van - always good to hear from you! Shane

[@gavinfeiel3268]

nice video, thank you sir

[@ghelm8317]

I wish you could show the chords while playing g it’s so helpful but really good lesson thank you 🙏

[@ghelm8317]

Because we can’t see where your fingers are

[@joenorah]

Thanks so much for breaking this down. Much appreciated. Any chance of adding the fingerstyle bridge section rather than just the strummed part.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Joe - really glad you enjoyed it - great idea to do the bridge part - Happy New Year! Shane

[@LA610]

great video...thanks

[@nickroper1917]

Loving the fingerpicking videos Shane - will get onto this once I’ve got my head around the ‘Landslide’ variations we looked at on the last Skype lesson! Those 1-2-1 lessons are really starting to pay off now - great fun too. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to push on to the next level and build on the how to videos!

[@GuitarAtWork]

A big thank you Nick - you are kicking guitar butt over there - have fun with it! Shane

[@arcticfox2091]

I have been trying to learn this, but the key doesn’t work for my female voice. I have tried using a capo, but it pushes the solo section to far up the neck. Do you have any suggestions? I have tried a number of solutions, but would really like to try and stick to the original chord shapes as they capture the beautiful open - shimmering tone.

[@michaelchalut4511]

Depending on how high you have your capo, sometimes dropping the tuning down a step or two is easier for playability than trying to raise it up 4 or 5 steps with a capo. Maybe you've tried that already...and yeah I know, retuning is always a pain.

[@jaysun2894]

Great song, great lesson! Thank you. Any chance you can do a lesson for "Love Is Strange" by Everything But The Girl. It's another beautiful acoustic song.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Jay - a great suggestion and I've added it to the list - Cheers! Shane

[@bgob1456]

Dan Fogelberg did a great take on this song too.

[@Ivorymandingo]

This is wonderful. I can't find the tabs for it? is that a separate website?

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you John - hope you have fun with it. The song sheet can be downloaded completely free at shanesimpson.com Just look for the Free Downloads button at the top and it will take you there. There will be a few folders to choose from. This song is in the Intermediate folder. Cheers! Shane

[@Ivorymandingo]

great thanks !!

[@jrichmang]

should do a BNL version for comparison

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks John - good idea! Shane

[@DougAlexanderInTexas]

Love this. Noticed that you've replaced the Yamaha monitors. I have the Yamahas and just wondering what prompted the change.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hi Doug, Thanks for that - it's a great song for sure. I have a set of Yamaha monitors at my other location where I sometimes am (the place with the blue walls). The ones you are seeing in this video are Adam A7s which I've had for 15 years. Really nice! Shane

[@DougAlexanderInTexas]

Guitar At Work Well you really do do a terrific job breaking songs down. And I’m always looking over you shoulder to see what you’re using to get such great video. Great camera and editing work as well. Very well thought out, fluid and smooth. You’re one of the best out there in KZbin land!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Big thank you Doug - much appreciate the encouragement! Shane

[@DougAlexanderInTexas]

And, while I have your attention (and if I can impose), if you decide to do a lesson or two on Sturgill Simpson or Jason Isbell, I’d be even more grateful for your great work! “If We Were Vampires” off of The Nashville Sound by Isbell is awesome.

[@GuitarAtWork]

A great suggestion Doug - I'll have a listen and add it to the list - thanks! Shane

[@20920474]

how much coffee did you have this morning homie!

[@stevenfrederick8461]

slow down

[@samsons_cannabis]

Nice!
