Watched a half dozen of you’re videos so far and you’ve got to be one of the best guitar teachers on KZbin or honestly anywhere..

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you so much and sorry I missed your message. Cheers! Shane

[@weednlogic]

You're the best teacher on the internet hands down

[@GuitarAtWork]

A big thank you weednlogic - my best to you and glad to have you here with us. Cheers! Shane

[@BarneeFife]

Do you mean hands down, up, up, down? J/K

[@daleywhaley]

Thank you for actually showing the chords BEHIND the solo -all the other KZbinrs duck out of this and it's not that obvious. Much appreciated,

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Dale - very glad it helped you - happy to have you here! Happy New Year! Shane

[@madcowusa4277]

Life goal is to play this song with authority because it's so iconic. Great lesson.

[@pierreroy8838]

Hi there, a huge thank you for taking time out to teach! A little background I am 68 and disabled from 2003 from a very rare nerve disease (Dr.s claim that it's one the most painful) I was bedridden for3 yrs. prior I had boxed for 8 yrs. and martial arts since I was a kid. I mentioned this because I am not a quitter. Taught myself to walk then it was time for my hands and arms. Pardon my terminology but I was also a rocker, stoner in attitude so I always wanted to learn the guitar, a nice lady gave me a "toy" guitar, that's what I call it. I found your site and what a ride it has been! I now can move all my fingers and arms, I play a little Zeppelin, and quite a few of your songs that you taught, you have been my teacher and friend thank you so very much! Sorry about the length of this note.

[@markhanson8366]

Loved reading that Pierre! Ain't it neat how a guitar can motivate and improve one's attitude! Play on brother!

[@LightningDogg]

I've never seen anyone talk so fast, put out such a huge amount of detail...and still make it look do-able. That's quite a skill sir! Thanks. This one will take me a lot of pause/rewinds lol.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Ha! Thanks for that - much appreciated and I hope you have fun with it. I’ve cut my caffeine intake in half. Cheers! Shane

[@AaronPlowman]

Great song to build picking and power chord confidence, which is precisely what I need. Much thanks Shane. This song is too beautiful to not have in my song list!!! Excited to get that intro up to speed.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Fabulous - thank you Aaron - have fun with it! Shane

[@frankfichera3093]

Picking up were I left off 37yrz ago. Stumbled across your video, I had to subscribe! Just bought a used Ibanez electric, because at 57 starting all over again I don't want to die in a kitchen as a chef! I want to die in some old blues Club you are making learning all over again fun! Fantastic work! I don't care what anybody says I always called power chords!

[@motoprof1441]

I love how you show the fingers movement from one cord to another. I usually have to work these things out on my own. Thank you sir for an excellent video.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Very glad it works for you - enjoy! Shane

[@lowellirish]

SHANE! First time I saw your bodhran! I've been playing for 25 years... When I was learning guitar, I got so frustrated with the DDUDU crap that I just went with my gut...and adopted tipper technique to strumming. In 5 minutes I was playing all the chords I had memorized!! Bodhran. Great teacher! 😁

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you James - that drum helps a lot for sure. Same kind of action as strumming. My best to you and hope you're having fun with it all. Cheers, Shane

[@geraldbrown2875]

As a fellow Canadian growing up in the 70’s there was a ton of great bands around and great songs filled the airwaves so naturally when I came across your KZbin channel I was hooked! Love your teaching style, love the song selection and the Canadian content, from BTO to The Tragically Hip! A huge fan from The Dirty Shwa! 👍🎸🇨🇦

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Gerald - really great to hear that. Happy to have you with us and greetings from the Nation's Capital. Cheers! Shane

Now I am 59 my kids are not here anymore so I am so ready to learn how to play again. I know I can play this song with practice. Thank you very much.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Fernando - very happy to have you here with us. Hope you have fun with it! Shane

[@thedustykeratometer8570]

Awesome. I bet you could do a great guitar arrangement on Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg. That melody line is to die for. A terrific ballad probably everyone can relate to. It’s more of a piano song but you have a such a gift for emulating the piano pieces on guitar. Can’t believe Fogleberg was taken from us at only age 56 to prostate cancer. I survived it but I feel guilty-just imagine what other incredible songs he would have written if he was still around.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks for that, Cheers, Shane

Subscribing now! You are a 'keeper' for sure. Best tutorial on this song that I have found. Clarified what others didn't. Brought my understanding to a new level, esp on that tricky rhythm. This definitely will improve my playing. I've been playing two and a half years. Namaste..

Thank you Elisabeth - a really great comment to receive - very glad to have you with us! Shane
