Thank you. I have struggled with guitar for a while. I even took lessons for a little while but I didn't mesh with the instructor. They wanted to play it at full speed over and over and would get frustrated if you wouldn't catch the subtleties. I quit until I ran across your lessons. I can actually play in front of people without being stressed now. I've been following you for about a year.

[@rosswilliamson8022]

Montreal, Canada and Ballad of a Thin Man is my favourite Dylan Song

[@brianodonnell586]

Thanks for the different options Angela. A fresh way to playing this great tune. I’m an older learner to Guitar. So many thanks for my first song played through. 👍

[@Wynndell1]

Edmonton, Alberta All along the watchtower. Thanks for all your great lessons!

[@kromedge]

Awesome lesson as usual! It’s a great classic tune and one of the first songs I learned. Later on I learned the GNR version which I still like to play - but it pretty much has to be done on an electric. I have an acoustic version that I play all the time which is pretty much a cross of the Dylan and GNR versions. I always enjoy your videos!

Greetings from Isle of Wight,UK.Bob visited here back in 69 for the festival of rock aristocracy but sadly before my birth.Don't get better than Bob.''It's alright ma,i'm only bleeding'' is my personal favourite but very tricky to master... i'm finding.'Wedding-song' too is terrific and easier to play.So much choice from the Bard.Good to see you back btw.

[@gboy1973]

so glad you showed using the capo... I love doing that on multi-tracks, gets an almost 12 string guitar sound.

[@randallkennedy2066]

From Toronto.Dylan favourite "Every Grain of Sand."I enjoy your lessons.You have an enjoyable teaching method.Thanks.

[@deans.8659]

Missed yesterday. Watched this today. That was my first song ever I played on guitar. Great lesson, thx Angie! Learn the solo on e- guitar guys! Cheers from Munich everybody 👋🎸

[@dukeofearl4117]

Mr Tambourine Man. This was playing when I was in high school. The music back then was so great.

[@mlevy5722]

my fav from Dylan is the "Girl from the North Country". Thanks so much for your video, your energy, vibe and great tutorial of the heaven's door Dylan song. Would love if you could do a tutorial on that "Girl from the North Country". Cheers.

[@doctorzorch]

really really good. I am more than just a beginner, but not a whole lot. I love the more in depth discussion about intervals and notes and alternative way to play things. I am a fan with 1 lesson!

[@AngelaPetrilliMusic]

I'm so happy to hear this lesson helped you out! Keep on playing!!!

[@fokkovanderveen4946]

Hi Angela, I’m Frank and I’m tuning in from Holland. My favourit Dylan song is Idiot Wind as performed on his bootleg albums. This has to do with the melancholic atmosphere, the remarkable text, the beautiful chords and the length of this song. Your lessons and the way you connect are great! Frank

[@SouthernSierra56]

A good go to at a jam where others can pretty easily play aong to. I used to play the clapton version, but the reggae beat is a little harder for others to play along if they haven't worked on it a bit. Thanks AP. DW

Tuned in from Thailand, favourite BD song is from the Desire album, Black Diamond Bay. There are plenty more great songs on this album so well worth buying if you don't have already. WARNING!!! Plenty of electric guitar, pissed off a lot of diehard fans, not me though.

Angela sei bravissima.

[@davidpetersen2760]

Hello Angela. I was looking for a good version of this classic song - this is it. I have one suggestion - please include a tab for your songs on KZbin that has the strums/picked notes, i.e. in a '1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &' format. Each bar I'm hearing a strum on count one, then four 1/8 note strums - are they on counts 3&4& ? Or is my counting all wrong?? Thanks.

[@robertakerman3570]

4 those that can play this using Barre chords: it's not far removed from "SweetJane"(which is much easier). Whistle or sing around the campfire. Most will B impressed!

[@mikeharmon5873]

Good Song, BobDylan was great.

I literally only click on these because Angela looks cute in the thumbnails and my man brain goes "Aooga", but I always end up staying and learning a new song 👍 so thanks!

[@jussihaila]

Isn't that G D and then C? Later it's Am. Or have I been playing it wrong all this time? Anyway, a very good video.
