I’m 64 years old and learning guitar and Shane you are an awesome upbeat teacher.

[@stevemajors7704]

SHANE I WAS LISTENING TO A LOT OF FOLKS ON KZbin. I SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR SITE. SO I ENJOYED THE WAY YOU PLAY AND MORE IMPORTANT THE WAY YOU TEACH. JUST TOLD MY SON TO SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR PAGE. DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD PICKED UP THE GUITAR. HE DIDN'T KNOW I HAD. GAVE HIM ONE OF MY GUITAR. LEFT HERE PROUD AS A PEACOCK. I GOT MARRIED 43YRS AGO STARTED HAVING KIDS. WORKED ALL THE TIME. PUT AWAY THE GUITAR. 41YRS LATER AFTER I RETIRED. TOLD WIFE I WAS GETTING A GUITAR. STARTED PLAYING. WIFE TOLD ME WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN JUST 4 WEEKS. BEING NICE. FIVE GUITARS LATER FOUND OUT MY SON WAS LEARNING GUITAR. I WAS HAPPY TO HELP HIM ALONG. TOLD HIM IT WAS THERAPEUTIC. HE SAID HE KNOWS. THANKS SHANE. PICKED UP SOME OF THE LEAD ON SIMPLE MAN THIS MORNING. NEVER TO OLD

Thank you Steve - great to hear that. Have fun with it ! Shane

[@j.ronald1564]

Very good instructions. Bob has so many nice songs to listen to and learn to play. Thanks Shane!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks for that - very glad you enjoyed. Cheers! Shane

[@raym9434]

Your the best! Love this. I really like these slightly tougher beginner songs that challenge left hand finger independence. This channel has really helped me advance past basic open chord boring stuff. This is so much fun to play!

[@stevemajors7704]

ENJOY PLAYING ALONG WITH YOU SHANE AND LIKE YOU SAID WHEN I MISS SOMETHING. I JUST KEEP ON MOVING

[@GuitarAtWork]

Glad to hear that Steve - my best to you and hope you're having fun! Shane

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Ed - glad to hear from you. Shane

[@colingriffiths4238]

[@DVHarv]

This is one of my favorite lessons. Thank you so much! Awesome.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Dave - sorry I missed your comment - best to you! Shane

[@miketroutt1371]

Thanks for showing the walk down. I’ve been playing without it. It’s going to sound so much better now!!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Glad to hear that Mike - Cheers! Shane

[@edfulginiti8798]

You rock...and...that Taylor kicks it! 👌

[@kevinbutler7055]

Thank you soooo much I got it all down in 30 mins.. awesome tutorial..

[@AaronPlowman-qn1px]

Your calling chords is simply awesome 😎. You're been intricate in showing me the way to playing some rocking songs. I did a couple of your Tom Petty songs and again am so appreciative of your dedication in helping make us newbies into players 🎸🤯💯🙏😎

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Aaron - glad you’re enjoying. Have fun with it! Shane

[@sapelesteve]

Good to see you back Shane & great video! Thanks....... 👍👍🎸🎸😉😉

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Steve - I always appreciate your comments. Hope you're doing well and staying safe. Cheers! Shane

[@barryemerson3526]

Thanks so much for the lesson. Always enjoy the play along (@ the two different speeds) at the end of the lesson. Don’t have an opportunity to play with others these days, so this really helps. I’m getting better at jumping in when I miss a chord. Cheers!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Glad to hear that Barry - thank you! Hope you're having fun with it. Cheers, Shane

[@MrDallman]

Love this song Shane ....and now with your excellent tuition ...I’m playing it. Thanks again ?

[@northcountryhermit5057]

Great Lesson! I always enjoy them! Your patience, and the way you approach them is WONDERFUL! I started guitar 8 months ago.. I did 2 open mics before Covid hit...and just finished playing my first major solo gig yesterday! 600 people! Yeah... No SHIT! It was a private party at a lakeside home... 50 people there. 20 more than anticipated... However! The REAL crowd were the boaters! We stopped counting at 74... With anywhere from 4 to 20 per boat! There were a lot of filled pontoon boats... GREAT gig! Rousing cheers and applause.. and scored on tips! DISCLAIMER! I am a Professional multi-instrumentalist with 18 yrs under my belt...Guitar is my 9th, and newest instrument... Individual results may vary ;) THANK YOU for keeping me company throughout the winter, and getting me up to speed on this damned thing! IMO? Harder than my fiddle.... Progress!

[@hollliee]

Great to see you’re looking well, not forgetting cool.. stay safe, stay cool and keep on strumming

[@paulcopsey6573]

Many thanks, forgot I knew how to play this. Love rediscovering songs. Play the walk down slightly differently, but sounds "still the same"

[@denisindelicato2888]

Terrific! Very thorough. Great, I have another song!!!

[@ianbailey8778]

Another great lesson! Would love to see some more Bob Seger & Jackson Browne!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank Hoo - those are two of my favourites for sure. I have done other videos by those two that you mentioned if you haven't seen them yet. Cheers! Shane

[@franksylva9031]

What a fun song to play!

[@muskwa7686]

Wow this is some good stuff! Thanks Shane ❤

[@parkercoe3727]

What a great song for beginners to really make a jump. At least thats where I’m at in the learning process!

[@jackburns16]

Shane!! You knocked it outta the park- as usual. Keep up the good work, brother!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Jack! Much appreciated. My best to you - Shane

[@jackburns16]

@@GuitarAtWork I’m originally from Buffalo. My youth was marked by lots of Labatts Blue and fries with gravy. So when I found my very 1st Guitar At Work video and heard your accent, I thought: “I’m HOME!” Love ya, brother.

[@nonrevnosnibormetalbeerrev6251]

One of my favourite Bob seger songs thanks man, you know what is is all aboot 😊👌🇬🇧

[@rayross997]

I already know this one, but this is an excellent lesson. How about It Don't Come Easy in honour of Ringo, he recently turned 80. Thanks Shane, keep pickin' & grinnin'.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Ray - great suggestion. Cheers! Shane

[@johnadams2893]

yes...I agree

[@jamescurnutt1628]

Great lesson once again. Quick and straight to the point for players above beginner. BeatBuddy settings? LOL Thanks mate.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you James - always fun to make these videos and it's really great to hear from people who enjoy them. Try the Blues 1 pattern in your BeatBuddy at 116BPM. Cheers, Shane

Thank you James - much appreciated. Cheers! Shane

[@gurugenis]

I originally discovered this chord progression with the song by Gary & Dave back in 1973 ("Could you Ever Love me Again"), I personally wrote at least 10 songs based on this chord progression. JUST SAYING

[@PassionatelyParis]

Great breakdown on this. much appreciated!

[@TheAtticradio]

Such a great song … Seeger has some classics to listen too !! And play !!!

Thank you V! I really do appreciate that. Best to you there, Shane

[@bleedinblue5675]

Brother you are FLAWLESS! I’m fairly new to playing and my fingers were KILLING ME...but when you started playing the full intro and main verse I had to pick her back up and power through it! Thank you for that!!

[@benjaminmorton9436]

I am a novice player, and longtime Seger fan. Thanks Shane, this one will get added into my practice list!

[@MinhPhamGators]

Thank you for this. Really enjoyed just strumming that song.

Great lesson, one of my favourite Bob Seger songs👍🎸🇨🇦

[@ItisRael2]

Shane great to see your doing well. Love your lessons. I came across a song that I immediately thought you would be great at teaching. Give a listen to “I saved a bird today” by Peter Frampton. It is a great song with a little of everything to teach. Great intro with arpeggios, harmonics, great chord movement and nice solo’s. Thanks and keep the lessons coming. Stay safe

[@timmycena6152]

All time favorite song

[@davidcartledge6620]

[@bobgreenhouse4801]

Excellent tutorial Shane as usual any recommendations with songs that have barred chords need too improve a lot thanks man!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Bob - I really appreciate your feedback. Sister Golden Hair is a really good Barre chord workout - well worth the effort. I have a video on this channel for that song. Cheers! Shane

[@gliddofglood]

That was a very good and useful lesson. My only criticism if I was going to carp is that an awful lot of time was spent on the main riff (a bit too much) and then we motored through the rest at a rate of knots. But hey. It’s not as if it cost me anything! Thank you.

[@themusicbox500]

Wonderful job on the lesson. What kind of drum machine are you using?

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Kevin - very glad you enjoyed. I use a BeatBuddy drum machine. I love it! It's a pedal on the floor and comes preprogrammed with tons of great beats in multiple styles. I am in no way affiliated with that company - I just really like this thing. Cheers, Shane

[@buck-mq3qo]

Can you do a lesson on "shame on the moon" I can't find anything that actually has a good strumming pattern for it, and I'm not the greatest at transcribing lol

[@GuitarAtWork]

I'll have a listen. Thanks for that. Cheers, Shane

Fantastic Shane!.. I'm using a Mini Beat Buddy, can you tell me the Genre and Time signature you're using? I know you said 116 BPM. Thanks mate.

[@GuitarAtWork]

The Blues 1 pattern works well Ron. Cheers, Shane
