I play this every time I practice. and it's fun to play along with the recording, too (although I have to hustle to keep up).

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Great! Slow and steady then faster😋

[@terryshaw5473]

Ok fans. Kevin is doing a bang up job. For u beginners uv got to go thru basic training and pass the test. What I mean by this is ur fingers are going to hurt. U have to get ur fingers toughen up so they don't hurt anymore. Then u can start on the other hand. One hand at a time...

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Good advice

Just curious, Kevin. What other bright,"involving" songs, like "Wagon Wheel" can you suggest? I've been playing it for days and singing and humming it when I'm away from my guitar. More Bob Dylan/country-type tunes?

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thee are so many. Here is a playlist with some Dylan tunes. Good place to start. kzbin.info/aero/PLdK4lrg6GgfjOJB1v1bUOIdMt3efSjm7B&si=ThnvjO2jtzCqBrdR

[@richhowell6874]

Thanks Kevin. I’ve been playing on and off for 60 years. You’ve renewed my interest after wandering away for a couple of years.

Thanks!

Welcome! Thank you!

[@TheWildcat1964]

Hey Kev Happy New Year Just watched your great video of Wagon Wheel. Noodling a little, I noticed that going from Em to C could be made easier for beginner, like me, to use the C shape for the Em, then just slide up one fret and add first finger to make a C. Your thoughts. JH

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks for watching! Good suggestion. I always say if it sounds good it is good.

[@earlneal8971]

This is really awesome you look like you're really good guitar teacher

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thank you, I try!

[@OrgyEntertainment]

Thank you for this my next song✅ one question I have though is when picking the base notes, Do I hit the bass note in between transition or after transition? Does that make sense

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

I think so. The base not is the beginning of the pattern. Does that help ?

[@OrgyEntertainment]

@@Relaxandlearnguitar Thank you Sensei 🙏

[@deansnyder4515]

Please show the Cas Haley version of Walking on the Moon 😊

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Will add this to my list! Thanks!

[@rjcallaway354]

I have always wondered if you could change a C for a Cadd9. Please give me advice if i can or can't.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Yes you can. It will still sound good. And if it sounds good it is good. :)

[@rjcallaway354]

@@Relaxandlearnguitar okay. Thanks for the advice. I just find a Cadd9 easier to play exspeshly if it's after a G chord

[@NicholasSteinlage-g8o]

Is the bass strum open, or do you play it with a finger?

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

The bass note changes based on the chord

[@kneesinthebreeze7417]

Dont like Darius version. Perfer Old Crow Medicine Show. Yes there is a difference

[@vodkaone1053]

Thanks!

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]
