[@doclexington4640]

80 yo so grew up on a significant number of these songs. Just found you looking for some other songs; what a pleasure to have you instructing us on acoustic--you can't take electric into the Rocky Mountains. Have subscribed.

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Hello 👋 thanks for your awesome message 😊 It’s a total pleasure, I’m glad you found my channel too 🎸

[@gerrylowrey1235]

My fave Mama and papa's is whisper a little prayer. I think everything you do is great and you are a very good teacher.

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Thanks I really appreciate it! I’m going to have to check that song out. I’m not sure I know it. The tune that got me into them was Dream a Little Dream. Love it 👍

[@crimsontyger8576]

Good job. It's such a beautiful song.

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

It is a great song! 😊 thanks, I appreciate that.

[@gerrylowrey1235]

I knew I was not going to try and learn this one,but l watched it all the way through. I think you are also a good singer and I still enjoyed your lesson very much. I tend not to count out the beats, l just play what I feel is right. When I first got a very old guitar bought for me by my mam and dad from a second hand shop, it had a very high action.l knew a couple of lads who used to practice playing, l was told to mute my strings completely damp them,because l was crap.But later l found how helpful it was, essentially with your teaching of the summer time blues. Thanks .

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Hi 👋 thanks for chatting! Mutings a great part of rhythm playing. I use it so often mixed in with a rhythm because it adds so much extra depth and pervasiveness too. It’s well worth developing as a part of the palette 🎸 I was the same with my first guitar. I bought it from my mate for £5, proper battered nylon string. Highest action! I really appreciate a decent guitar action now 😆 I played it for a few years though and did ok though so all good! Yes my guitars a Taylor 214ce. Nice to play 👌🎸🎸

[@combinepunter8090]

Thank you Jo🙏 Wonderful tutorial😊😊

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

You’re welcome! Thank you 😊

[@wsavage3696]

This is 🔥!!!! I love this song!! Just finished going thru the picking parts. ❤️ this! Thank you, thank you! ❤

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Amazing 👍😊 it’s a great song isn’t it. Glad you like the vid. Enjoy the rest of it. The picking part is really nice 👌

[@attra91]

Damn, I hate you! You make everything look so easy! Best instructor on the tube IMO. Thank you for taking your time to help me out!

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Hey! 👋 thank you so much ☺️ You’re welcome! I’m glad these vids are helping. It’s takes a lot of work to make it look so easy 😎

[@tom451]

Was just about to comment very similar. I’ve been through a few KZbin creators trying to learn acoustic but you make the journey much easier. You play so well, keep up the great work for us beginners

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

@tom451 thanks for this! 👍 very happy to be helping. Keep playing, keep being curious and practising. The best combo especially if you love music 🎸 You’re welcome.

[@rubentoro3305]

Im learning this song and looks easier than the other videos thanks ❤

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Awesome! Cheers for letting me know. Hope you enjoy it 👍😊

[@shaunflynn]

Awesome! Just found you on KZbin and subscribed!

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Hey, thanks! 🙏 🎸 enjoy the vids 😊

[@fischman26-China]

Excellent video. Even though there are plenty of capos around here, i rarely use them. Maybe time for more capo.

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊 I’m a fan of a capo sometimes. It’s a nice change to how the guitar feels to play. Something refreshing about it every now and then. Enjoy! 👍🎸

[@richardread8281]

Lovely chords and singing. Foxes and Fossils cover this on KZbin and coincidentally Tim Purcell plays a Taylor. I'm still longing for one ❤

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Thank you 🙏 I’ll check that out! Re the Taylor, it’s a lovely guitar to play. Highly recommend 😊🎸

[@richardread8281]

@@jobywaterguitartuition Is it a 214ce ?

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

It is. Sounds lush. Warm but with real clarity. I was blown away the first time I played it. It was my first all wooden body guitar and it was a really noticeable difference 👌

[@barrywuthrich8530]

Looks pretty accurate. I have always played it E7sus to E7 instead of Esus to E. The open D string sounds better to me. And pretty important that every other chord change is on the up beat and not the down beat as Jo said. The exception is the F in measure 4 does fall on the down beat of 3.

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Cheers for sharing 👍

[@gerrylowrey1235]

Can I ask, are playing a Taylor. It looks exactly like mine?

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

👍

[@1cleandude]

Should have sung the whole tune love!🙏🙏🙏

[@jobywaterguitartuition]

Hiya 👋 The channel focusses on guitar lessons - breaking down the structure of songs/guitar parts/techniques/dynamics in digestible video lengths. There’s more than enough information in the video to learn & play the song. If you’re interested in a full song play-though of California Dreamin’ head to my other channel here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnPEm2CYga1nfbc Thanks for checking in 🎸😊
