How To Play Bob Dylan Simple Twist of Fate | Full Guitar Lesson

[@FlaschDJ]

Excellent, for 2 reasons: 1. He knows how to play it. 2. He is more interested in teaching than showing off. Thank you. Excellent!

[@ezradevore8727]

This was easily the best tutorial I’ve ever seen.

[@jmac4035]

I never in my whole life thought I'd play this i'm 58 now and I've such happy memories of this song. I took up the guitar about 6 years ago and now I'm kind of a chord hacker but this lesson has taught me how to play this and I'm so happy. Thank you so much

[@possm33]

hope your guitar journey is going well.....this is a nice song to play...us chord hackers must stick together.:)....Peace p.s. Framptons "baby I love your way" is also easier than it sounds, maybe you may want to try that one.....keep strumming!

[@christopheranderson1968]

Thank God! Someone who shows chords, the shapes - everything! - in open D tuning.

[@MrHollydog]

Simply an outstanding guitar lesson. Chords and tab spot on, made and explained easy. You are an amazing tuitor mate. Thanks and well done!!!!!

[@keysersoze9040]

8 minutes. How the hell did this beutifull man just teached me Simple twist of fate in 8minutes Thank you, no words

[@michaelfragnito4199]

Loved this lesson. Short yet comprehensive, and a few chuckles along the way. A great lesson. Thanks!

[@docludiTWISTEDSOUL]

Best instruction I have ever come across.

[@hally0john]

This is by far the best tutorial of this song. You've got it exactly right. Brilliant

[@gregnelson5295]

Simply one of the best tutorials I've ever seen on Simple Twist of Fate. Concise and to the point. Those that wish to know, might be interested that the exact same fingerings can be used to play this song in open E without a capo. While I understand why Dylan plays it in open D with a capo, just seems to sound better in Open E to me.

[@tedpeterson1156]

Can you tell by listening to the original recording if he used a capo or not? I think a true open E sounds better too, but lightly built guitars may not like it.

[@JerrysGuitarBar]

Open E and Open D capo'd at 2 should sound identical and impossible to tell apart. I believe he capo'd at two based on what various people involved with him at the time seem to say. But it was internet research and I have no way to know for sure.

[@tedpeterson1156]

+Jerry's Guitar Bar Hello Jerry - Thanks for the reply! But most of all Thanks for the lesson. There are a lot of tutorials on KZbin, but it's always nice to see yours, because I can always count on them as being faithful to the original.

[@GaryBook]

Most folks use open D and capo on second fret because you tune down in open D and it puts less stress on the neck of the guitar and it makes it easier to play Open D and capo second and get Open E.

[@MrFrampo56]

Jerry's Guitar Bar Hi. Fantastic tutorial as always. I’d just like to say that open E and open D capo at 2 will sound subtly different as with a capo there are no truly ‘open’ strings. The notes will be the same obviously but there will be a slightly different ‘feel ‘ to it. Peace.

[@cozmoruckaz]

I think the 1.31.86 Garcia/Kahn acoustic performance of this is absolutely incredible. For the Dylan purist learning the song as it is on Blood on the Tracks is understandable. But then I go over to the Garcia/Kahn version, and it just gives me goosebumps. I like to think Dylan would agree.

[@mcguirkbrian]

Man Jerry you are an excellent teacher. I'm very thankful for your lessons!

[@lucertola260]

superbly clear. all makes sense in open tuning!

[@rickmannoia5659]

Thank you. It's a little tricky, but a very good lesson. I appreciate it. Gee that Dylan guy has some talent...

[@jamesminchau]

This was so clear and concise and taught me a song I've been wanting to learn for 20 years. Thank you for your perfect instruction. Could you post the chord names in order?

[@robertkapler6227]

Great, great lesson, man. Thanks so much for your wisdom.

Very helpful; thanks.

[@wilkiecoco]

Jerry, I must tell you that I'm not a trained guitarist and I basically go around KZbin looking for a tutorial when I want to learn a new song and I've seen many of them. By far, yours are the best. I've watched a number of them and I'm able to nail every song that you teach. First of all, the pace of the lessons are perfect - not too fast or slow (Some people spend 15 minutes showing how to tune the guitar, for example) And your voice (maybe due to your accent) is so reassuring ans calm that it really lends itself to teaching. Thanks for your videos. And one more thing. I have a request. Can you do a video on Buckets of Rain by Dylan? It would be greatly appreciated, as I'm planning to do a performance of the entire Blood on the Tracks album, and that song is really stumping me. Thanks again for the videos!! -Dave Edit: I just found it and purchased it from you web site Great!! Thanks again!!

[@JerrysGuitarBar]

Hi Dave. Many thanks for the kind words. I do have a lesson on Buckets of Rain but I'm afraid it's one of my paid ones. Here's the link in case you want to take a look. www.jerrysguitarbar.com/guitar-video-lessons/individual-songs/bob-dylan-buckets-of-rain/

[@wilkiecoco]

@@JerrysGuitarBar Yes, I went on your site and bought it after I wrote my post. It's fabulous as anticipated, and I'm working on it straight away! Thanks!!

[@JerrysGuitarBar]

@@wilkiecoco Thanks a lot David! It's a great song for sure.

Man, you're good

Want to thank you for your videos . You have a certain way that makes it easy to learn and especially your energy at the end for that" I accomplished it" feeling makes the student enjoy the learning process even more. Harvest Moon if you haven't done it

Fun song to play.

[@bransonandersonmusic]

Does anyone know a video that shows how to play the bootleg rolling thunder revue version?

[@r3d3y3si]

Type Dylanchords into Google theres almost every version of any dylan song.

[@TheHackmo]

Great, thanks for the help.

[@hilulimi]

thank you man!

[@michaelworse6034]

Excellent lesson from you Sir ! My question is , which harmonica do I need to play the solos ? E , am I right? Because it‘s in E ....?

[@JerrysGuitarBar]

Correct.

[@michaelworse6034]

Jerry's Guitar Bar Thanks a lot , glad to hear from you ! Great great lessons from you , much appreciated . Cheers , Michael

[@truevipermark]

The guitar part is in the key of E but Dylan plays cross harp in the key of A on the album so you want an A harmonica.

[@HealthInfo]

Excellent!

[@mullarky]

thanks mate

Aimee Mann brought me here, and Bob brought her. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@ImproveYourMagic]

Damn. Very cool video!

[@pascalgrit]

Thanks, you make my day, tangled up in Blue (bootleg version) ?

[@ryantiefen6908]

May be a dumb question, but doesn't the 2nd fret capo counteract the drop D tuning? Why not just play in open E without the capo?

[@JerrysGuitarBar]

You could. I teach it this way because Bob did it this way.

[@brianmcdonald3684]

How to learn a song in 2 mins'? . Just ask Jerry. Clear and simple thanks!

Just tune too Open E, thats what the tuning is anyway with the capo

[@michaeloates1406]

I am confused, the cords are perfect it sound's great but I tried playing with the original in the background and its not in tune. What am I doing wrong

[@JerrysGuitarBar]

I'm not sure. Do you have the capo on the right fret? You could try tuning with the capo on which will be more precise. Tune to E D E G# B E with the capo at fret 2

[@michaeloates1406]

@@JerrysGuitarBar Thanks for replying, I play along with the lesson and its perfect. but its out of tune to the original. I will check everything again.

[@michaeloates1406]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXjRmaylhcR3icU I have checked, I am in perfect open D, capo on 2nd fret, checking each string against your video, and please don't get me wrong its sounds great to me. I thought that it would be nice to finally check against the original which I have linked here and its off somewhere. Try it for yourself please

[@JerrysGuitarBar]

@@michaeloates1406 He's slightly sharp of concert pitch. Maybe 25 cents or so. Like a capo at fret 2 and a quarter :)

[@michaeloates1406]

You should be singing - original material - I'd invest material in that voice

[@superintelligentapefromthe121]

I knew this song had to be rife with minor chords.

[@drewedmonds4839]

I think your chord names are all named a whole tone down from what they really are

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

2019 it would have been much much much helpful if you posted the chord shapes on screen... or just write down the chords shapes in a piece of paper and flash it on screen.. why are we so selfish like this world... WHY???

[@JerrysGuitarBar]

Or, you know... you could just go to the website and download the tabs, chord, lyrics, videos.

there is a much easier way to play this in standard tuning in the key of c
