I Hope That I Dont Fall In Love With You Easy Guitar Lesson - Tom Waits

[@ronstewart2871]

I really like Justin. He always explains 'how' to play things. I used to be a great guitar player, but with time comes change, so I had to put down the guitar for 30 years or so. Well, now that i am 70, I have some time to 'start again'. Thank you Justin for helping me on my journey!

[@jake_runs_the_world]

Respecttt sir

[@dazmin100]

Tom Waits should be so much better known, a genius, Nick Drake is criminally unknown too.

[@A.SOAKES]

So is Arcane Soakes

[@roneilken6668]

I watched a bunch of tutorials on this song and you are the first guy to get it right in regards to how Tom plays it. Those subtle differences really make the song. Well done!

[@dushdy7160]

Tom Waits will always elicit a thumbs up from over here! :)

[@tonyaxeman4381]

I cried when I first heard this song . I will give playing it a try. Thanks Justin Guitars for taking the time for this beautiful song.

[@sallybowles2781]

I cry every single time I hear this song :D

[@Nuclearsoandso]

This could not have been more perfectly timed. I have been listening to this for a few days now and wanted to learn it. Can't get it out of my head. Thank you so much.

[@chrisjones4852]

Love this song. He who hesitates...

[@haviskam]

Watching your lessons is a true soul therapy.

[@ryanwitsqo9844]

Hey Justin could you make a lesson for Tom Waits - Martha?

[@maximemichiels]

Nice singing Justin!!!! I really missed this... 'caus C chord and F just makes me F over G G9. When the F chord....' lovely! This makes my heart smiles my friend... because I've spend so many hours with you during my process... nostalgic. Thank you so much!!!

[@MarcAmAlb]

What a beautiful song! What a masterful songwriter is Tom Waits.

[@pinballrobbie]

that song really suits your voice! thanks for all your help over the past year.

[@Spencie_C]

Great tutorial, Justin. Nice job on the playin and singin. Thanks!

[@DaLiJeIOvoImeZauzeto]

Your lessons are such a joy to follow. I'm a total beginner and your approach and demeanor put me in the mood, in spite my sore fingers. Thank you truly for all your hard work.

[@robpainting5112]

The video has been out there a long time I know Justin, but what a great explanation of a fabulous song. I'm on it now! Thanks

[@luvyou2]

This song really suits your voice!!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thanks!

[@sandylong5761]

I learned about Tom Waits 5 or 6 years ago and am hooked. A friend lent me his TW albums a few weeks ago and as soon as I heard this song I had to know how to play it. Thanks Justin!

[@buloka091]

Thanks Justin for this song! Especially thanks for that simpler fingerpicking. Makes my rookie practicing way easier! 🙏🏼✌️

[@Tzadeck]

Wow, so happy you did this tune! Will definitely try to pick it up over new years :D

[@SharksAreFriends1]

This is an especially important song for me, thank you so much

[@karlbishop9670]

First time I've saw a video with you singing and you are awesome Justin!!

[@walterkemp6558]

Great lesson of a great song. Thank you.👍

[@maximemichiels]

thank you Justin. Fingerstyle is my love! Hope you will do many more fingerstyles in the future. Thank you so much for being a part of my guitar process. Take care. Max

[@thomashaug9629]

You're style is the best Justin!

[@reljavasiljevic4222]

Thank you for this lesson J! Can you please do lesson on Tom Waits' Martha? I would love to learn that song

[@FnViana]

Very beautiful, Justin!

[@barripoari]

Good as always....thanks!

[@jackplaysguitar8293]

Sounds like a lovely tune, you really do it justice,

[@atodea]

Thank you so much for this lesson!

[@deborahamsens9370]

Omg thank you sobmuch Justin for this cover lesson. I was hoping to learn this song last week but gave up ... but here you are!!! Thxxxx

[@matefulop1138]

Yeeees! :D Thanks Justin. Any chance for more Tom Waits songs?

[@Folk-Fan]

Outstanding. Really a great job.

[@arborcam]

Wow you teach really well. Thanks!

[@ChuckKissner]

Great job! Your videos are so clear and helpful.

[@doktorkmthomas]

Justin, Any chance of getting a Big Star Thirteen finger style lesson?

[@andrewmadeira2707]

Thanks Justin.. excellent!

[@d7a7n7ette]

Thanks so much - this tutorial helped me so much with a piece I was struggling with after checking out Guitar Tabs.

[@caroletodd6373]

Nicely done.

[@IGarrettI]

Hey Justin, could we get some ELO lessons ? Some great classics there. Perhaps turn to stone or Mr Blue sky ?

[@Fabian-ed9tp]

Awesome man, I've ben waiting for this one. Such a great song.

[@omargarcia1291]

Thank you for the lesson! It would be awesome if you could teach us how to play "I want you". Its another beautiful song by Tom Waits and i don't really see any other tutorials for it on the internet.

[@richardsrensen4219]

great cover and lesson

[@ashishkadam36]

hey Justin please do a tutorial for Classical Gas

[@LambentLark]

Ashish Kadam If you haven't seen it before, check out Tommy Immanuel's version of Class' Gas. The guy is stupid talented with a flair for using a guitar like an Eskimo uses a whale; no part is wasted. He also has an idependent suspension thumb/fingers. I have got to learn how they learn to do that!

[@bastrum]

[@musicmad67]

Nice, thanks!

[@indiahkairies2460]

You're a good guy Justin

[@michaelwas8549]

Thanks for posting.

[@LambentLark]

I love this song. I enjoy learning new picking patterns and im looking forward to get this one under under my nails. Speaking of picking patterns, If you have a few minutes, check out a song called Troubles What Your In, by Fink. I would really love some practice work that could help my digits learn to do the "thumb/finger independent suspension" thing. Any suggestions?

[@chibiabos]

Great job , thanks for the lesson. I loved it. The capo works well for the version "Early years vol2". The same chord progression works for the version in the album "Closing time". I found easier to do the F/G and G9 using my thumb.

[@scootergreen3]

Thank you Justin. You have helped me learn some of my favorite song.

[@14Fangs]

Can you please make a lesson for Gun Street Girl by Tom Waits (it's on Rain Dogs)

[@garethcarroll2910]

Thank you so much for this lesson. I love TW and I've been struggling to get this from the BSB.

[@iZoZoxHD]

Hi Justin. Could you please make a cover for this song? Your vocal here is so good beside the acoustic playing!

[@swoopste]

Great lesson this Justin. Well explained and another technique to my arsenal. I can now hopefully move on to James Taylor’s stuff as it sound like a similar technique which I’ve always struggled to achieve

[@hein0us]

Great song.

[@REDTVCanada]

Thank you, Justin.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

You're welcome. Cheers 😊 | close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Moderator [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] .

[@JoeLeary]

Tom’s melodic sense went off on a bunch of different tangents but early on he wrote some extremely beautiful songs.

[@camsty1225]

Could you please teach the kirk doodle because literally no one has done it and I really want to learn it and its such a cool little riff

[@emanuelarose6671]

That was absolutely beautiful🥰

[@damcc806]

Fantastic

[@markw62]

Hey Justin great videos thank you I understand from an earlier video of yours that you used to be in a Rolling Stones cover band it would be great if you could give a lesson on Can't You Hear Me Knocking classic intro and great ending guitar I'm sure you would be great in teaching it thanks

[@nordheim3582]

You are such a great teacher, love the fingerstyle lessons you upload, like this one, Jolene by Dolly Parton and the fantastic lesson for Road Trippin by Red Hot Chili Peppers. If you like Bob Dylan, maybe Don't think twice, it's all right would be a marvelous lesson some time in the future.

[@TheDayfolds]

IIRC Justin gave up on Dylan lessons because the Dylan people are over-zealous when it comes to 'copyright infringement' notices. A real shame, there are loads of Dylan songs I'd love to learn with Justin's accuracy.

[@Zaky-Tocapelotas]

Brilliant vid. Thanks man. You got a new Subscriber :)

[@esthertanglao5800]

Fly flt the butterfly

[@dibyendughosh3589]

[@drunkviggo7263]

Dude I love this hipster song. You are the best. Can you do a thorough tutorial of Sublime - Mary ?

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thanks for the suggestion. There’s a song request feature (plus 700+ song lessons) here: www.justinguitar.com/songs Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher

[@wallytjr256]

Totally fantastic! This song has been on my list for five years. Will have to give it a shot soon. Would love to change the lyrics a bit and play this at my daughter's wedding some day. THANKS!

[@jakubinoo4283]

Very nice voice :D

[@kalvinhepple5975]

Loved your singing,you say it's bad,but that was good in my opinion.C was F ing G etc had me in hysterics!😂.Great lesson.

[@PeterBirks]

I have a couple of Tom Waits sheet music collections and have learnt maybe a dozen songs for the piano, but I always steered clear of trying guitar adaptations because it seemed clear to me that Waits composed the songs on the piano without thought for the complexities of his chords when translated to the guitar (his love of keys such as F , F#, C# and his not infrequent modulations by, say, half a tone up to four times in a song are more evidence of this). So, hat tip for producing a guitar version, which I will certainly give a go! Keenly anticipating your version of Christmas Card From A Hooker in Minneapolis. :-)

[@garethcarroll2910]

The original is on guitar

[@PeterBirks]

Yes, sorry, I am aware of that (have all of his albums). But I am sure that Waits *composes* on piano. And I suspect that he did with this one as well.

[@PeterBirks]

I'd add that these chords seem (to me) much more "natural" on piano. But maybe that's just me because I learnt piano first.

[@PeterBirks]

Indeed, it is interesting to compare the version performed live on "The Dime Store Novels" with (I think) the later recorded version on "Closing Time".

[@garethcarroll2910]

I guess you'd have to ask TW. Pretty much the rest of the album is on piano. Maybe he preferred it on guitar.

[@davideguitar7754]

Bravissimo

[@AFistfulOfVinyl]

1. I love your videos. You've taught me a ton of music. 2. It's taken me forever to place, but you look like a cross between Norm MacDonald and Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem. Lemme know your thoughts. 3. There's an american primitive style folk guitarist named William Tyler. If you ever did a lesson on one of his songs, that'd make me super happy :)

[@swoopste]

Justin any chance of you doing a lesson for James Taylor You can Close your eyes?

[@michelegabrielli9902]

Please Justin, lesson for OL 55, The Early Years, Volume Two version

[@annaturba]

I am so grateful for those instructional videos you make! Could you do the reckoning Song by asaf avidan?

[@noursaidbouarraguia9316]

Hey justin, i wish you could post how to play the loner by gary moore, best teacher ever, thank you.

[@PrissyV]

please, play Incubus - wish you where here in acustic version, please 😢!

[@paullindholm1370]

Thanks Justin, Great Lesson, Love your Maton Messiah by the way, I have an EM100, is yours the 808 or the 100? its hard to tell on the video. Do you have sheet music for your lessons?

[@sanderoid81]

And I c that I don't f'in g with c. Lol, love it. @8:00

[@brennanfinnegan7764]

LOL i was lookin for someone to comment on this

[@arst06d]

Great tutorial as usual, thanks. What is that nice thin capo?

[@MrFrampo56]

A G9 capo by the looks of it

[@SGC90-t5y]

Good lesson although I find it hard to link the verses. Not sure about the finishing riff.

[@Nalinalinali]

hey justin any chance you'll do some my chemical romance songs someday? would be awesome

[@Kjskateboarding1]

Great video Justin! Could u please do a tutorial on 'Gentle On My Mind' by Glen Campell please. Be a nice tribute lesson and i absolutely love that song! Cheers

[@formula4creation]

Please play dead and lovely!

[@jjforyomama]

can you do parkers band by steely dan

[@BookClubDisaster]

Hmm everyone else has this in C but you've got it in D. Did you transpose it so you could sing it higher instead of in Tom's gravelly baritone?

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

It is the chord 'shapes' that are the thing. The capo makes the whole thing movable to raise the key up from open position key of C, to fret 2 key of D as here, and beyond. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher www.justinguitar.com

[@BookClubDisaster]

@@JustinGuitarSongs Same chord voicing, yes. But I do think it's a bit misleading to teach it in the key of D when the original version is in C. I notice a lot of guitar teachers have this, "Whatever key feels right" view to teaching songs which I don't quite understand. Seems to me it should always start with the actual original key and if people decide to play around with it, they can.

[@JaredDeinlein]

Cool can you do " i want you " tom waits next
