How To Play May You Never By John Martyn (guitar lesson/Tutorial)

[@EmThePenguin]

Can i just say thank you, and thank you again. You could very easily keep all this knowledge to yourself (like 99% of all us selfish guitarists do) or make money from it, but instead you share all of your hard-earned skills for free with the rest of the world. I wish there were more people who were as nice as you in the world! I hope you read this because I really want you to know how much we all appreciate it, Cheers bud :))

Part of the pleasure of watching excellent tutorials like this is in gaining an even greater respect for the musical geniuses who just pull this stuff right out their brainboxes.

[@robertbarnettguitar]

You've done a wonderful job on this very tricky song. What a wonderful thing to not keep it to yourself and to share it with others. True musicianship right there!

[@steriospeaker]

This is one of my favourite songs, and one that I never expected to be able to play - but with this set of tutorials, I've been practicing for a week an it is sounding pretty damn good already - fantastic lessons. Has improved my all round playing a lot too.

[@1xstew]

Really nice accurate video . . Lovely sounding guitar too. Thanks.

[@stephenwilliams8224]

Brilliant. I've wanted to learn how to play this song for ages. Now with your tutorial it seems to be not too difficult. Must practice....... Can you produce a tutorial for John Martyn's version of "Singing' in the Rain"?

[@Samwise0800]

You are who I've been looking for! A clear picture and sound of where the slaps go! Been trying to figure that out for months, Great video

[@BrianKellyism]

Great stuff Gareth!! Always wanted to learn this song and this is a really great tutorial. Very helpful. Well done& thanks for posting!

[@MCKyrie777]

I just have to say thank you so so much and you have my deepest respect for sharing this wonderful song with everyone! This is the only tutorial out there that I can fully understand and follow, I cried tears of joy when I found that I could play the intro :) You have brought joy to my soul and if by any chance you could post a tutorial on Solid Air or Couldn't love you more or both then my life would be complete! Honestly it would!

[@bj3831]

Hi Gareth, Just a quick note to say thank you for sharing the How to play May you never tutorial. I have tried many times to learn this song and found your videos mast helpful. I hope your keeping well. Thanks again

[@stevenburgess89]

It's very kind of you to share this, I am getting my way through the song now! Much Appreciated!

[@66criticalmass]

Great tutorial. I've been playing this song for years and there's bits I've never got quite right. This has helped a lot, so thanks!

[@Gonzoneca]

Really, really excellent lesson. I wish you all the very best my man. I can't say enough positive things.

[@loosabway3400]

Very nicely done. You are an excellent teacher. Enjoyed very much.

[@asexton5801]

Thank you very much. You are not only kind but also extremely talented.

[@RudyWarman]

Wow. What a great song. Excellent job playing and singing that!

[@steriospeaker]

Fabulous song, and great lesson. I am going to enjoy this. Many thanks.

[@katieferraraofficial]

I love this song. I'm learning this version right now. The thing that's the hardest part to play is the pull off and the crack on the guitar!!!! I have to fight my brain!!!!

[@gillesserrigny6324]

I'm ok with you. This song is relatively easy to play for a middle class guitarist. But the slap and tapping :" A fight in our brain".

[@camMATE1234]

Your tutorials are excellent.

[@ConMaloney]

Good on you Gareth, this is magnificent.

[@creagdhu]

manalive, this is an awsome lesson, thanks man. its very very admirable to be giving up your time to teach others, must be very challenging. i wish you every success you deserve it.

[@playthebeatlesacoustic3660]

[@bardamu10001]

Excellent. Vous êtes un très bon pédagogue. C'est la première fois que j'ose espérer mettre cette superbe chanson à mon répertoire.

[@hervecastre7359]

The best tutorial of this fabulous song

[@boondockscar]

Legend! Thank you very much for this. I've been wanting to learn it ever since I heard the song.

[@qmsmanager6362]

Hi Gareth, fantastic tutorial. What kind of guitar do you play there? Lovely tone. Cheers

[@corinnaneubauer]

Very good, thanks a lot for putting this on the tube!

[@SirLilo99]

[@walterkemp6558]

Great lesson of a great song. Keep them coming.

[@danielryan3061]

Fantastic lesson, thank you very much :)

[@SirLilo99]

much appreciated Gareth, superb website as well :)

[@bradod1]

This is a exemplary tutorial, easy and well broken down - I tried to learn this song by ear but my version missed a lot of stuff. CHecked out your website, its class - i like your Tommy Emmanuel stuff. Tell us this much, are you an ELliott Smith fan? You could do serious justice to some of his tunes...in any case thanks a million Gareth, bravo and keep rockin!

[@zaflon4824]

Legend mate, you really nailed it.

[@Guitar47c]

Thank you for this, a really great tutorial.

[@SirLilo99]

Impressive to say the least. Thank you

[@MrFrampo56]

Fabulous. Spot on. Please tell me which Simon & Patrick is that? A Cedar Folk ? I MUST have one. Sounds beautiful. Your playing obviously helps too! :)))

[@cpome7]

Splendid job. Thanks for posting this.

[@longwalkhome2010]

hope you do more classics and less contemporary songs. great song thanks again.

[@10011ado]

Very helpful, thanks for posting this

[@thisandthat176]

[@willfrye1987]

John martyn is so freaking good. Ps this song is so fun to play

[@stevetheprogger1]

Brilliant mate - Well Done!

[@kpj5]

Excellent tutorial!!

[@paddymckeown4745]

Fantastic tutorial

[@bristolguitarkids]

Hi Gareth Great tutorial. Do you have the tab for this?

[@TheNewnamed]

Thanks for this great tutorial. I really enjoyed it. ;)

[@suzieq2000]

Please won't you please ....cover John Martyn Sweet Little Mystery:) Every one will have such a good time!!

[@DannyJayBee]

amazing. clear and brilliant.

[@insectogram]

The Solid Air version is in E. Took me ages to figure out what was going on, until I realised he was using a capo on the second fret.

[@kashmirblues]

Hi - great playing, one of my favourite songs and love your philosophy ! Which model S&P is that ? How is it for plectrum style, strumming and flat picking ? Regards, John

[@keyvoid2127]

Bloody excellent.

[@nigelsharratt933]

Great lesson thank you. Is that a Simon and Patrick?

[@gillesserrigny6324]

Yes, a Simon and Patrick guitar. A top class model. What a sound!

[@peterflanagan7083]

Excellent, thanks.

[@trekkingwithtony]

Spot on. Cheers

[@brettlewis7164]

Could you do over the hill?

[@PhozMix]

Im not sure that is exactly how he plays the D licks after the A sections. There is an extra hammer on or some more swing i think.

[@eraldocolazzo6414]

great...may I know please what's your guitar?

[@timmis1971]

Credit where it is due, you know your stuff!! :-)

[@wowawewah]

When you say "with out a hand to hold" you play the guitar part (Bm7/A) with the phrasing of the melody the first time.

[@FinnBjerke]

Thumbslap or is it the other fingers Martyn slaps with?

[@longwalkhome2010]

what guitar are you using mate?

[@gillesserrigny6324]

A Simon and Patrick guitar. A top model.

[@TheDaviecoyle]

Not played in a while and im struggling with this. Technically I can play it its just hard to play smooth. ill get there with practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice :O

[@ringostarky1]

nice one

[@bristolguitarkids]

Please can you do a tab!

[@platinummouse60]

Capo in second fret?

[@yannbonada979]

you da man

[@joe1edge]

maybe next year..

[@ricpf73]

The a part you taught comes in "never make your bed out.." but you left out "without a hand to hold"

[@Oatmate]

@08:02

[@chilliwowah1086]

Part 2 is unavailable I am in physical pain

[@GarethEvansYT]

The complete lesson is on www.goliathguitartutorials.com

[@tyroy57]

top guy :)

[@ethnicalbert]

couldnt you just put the whole thing here :(

[@elijahsprague3550]

you're a bad ass on guitar...just saying

[@Stockwell1998]

well done lad, need a bit of work on the right hand but decent pal

[@sean._.guitar]

100

[@ricpf73]

You played it perfect when you sing but you taught the a part wrong.

[@busterness145]

Fantastic job and superb website! Perhaps you could include Terry Reid 'July' in your next collection of uploads on GoliathGuitarTutorials.com kzbin.info/www/bejne/anrRnqakhsedma8 Many thanks!

[@jamiecouanis7236]

Omgconfused

[@TheInnacity]

too complex dude

[@MrFridaysChild]

I'm watching him live on KZbin and his capo is on the 4th and the whole song is in a higher key than you are here, and you got the words wrong... Probably not the best tutorial but will do..

[@BobJJ9999]

Only slightly pedantic and ungrateful. Post your link when you can do a better lesson.
