It didn't even take me 30 seconds to like it. Some people have this endearing vibe about them & with the family's involvement - truly, a Simple Man. Loved the lesson!

This is the first song I ever worked on, and to this day I work on it nearly every time I pick up my guitar. There’s so much variation in how you can play it, it’s always fun and interesting. Can be quite a challenge depending on what you wanna do with it.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Absolutley. Something for everyone :). Thanks for watching.

[@gtsipejr]

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thank so much! Happy to help. Great tune! Thanks for watching.

[@joeyhandeland983]

I'm just about to tackle this song. I'm fairly new at guitar, but I love your breakdown. And your patience. You have a good singing voice for this song. I subscribed 😊

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks so much and happy to help. See you soon!

[@nicholaskepner2796]

🎉 you da man! Respect ✊🏽

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks!

[@sunjaybedi4389]

Great video, thanks.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Glad you liked it!

[@1Keef]

Brilliant way of teaching a relatively complex picking pattern that requires hand and eye coordination. I would offer the best tutorial for beginners and intermediate players on KZbin for this song. I am the the latter, and learned the song in 20 minutes following your clear easy to understand explanations. Just became a subscriber. 👍👍

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thank you!

[@robertmiller7002]

Thank You,73 here and just back playing after 15 years.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Welcome!

[@blueser100]

Wonderful lesson Kevin. I’m not that familiar with their songs but the intermediate picking pattern looks like a fun challenge, or even a warm up exercise. Thanks!

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks Diana! Very versatile. And it can definitely be a challenge.

[@tombervoets7228]

Thnx! You sure helped me out!

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Excellent!

[@COMtnPilot]

That’s awesome! 😎🇺🇸👊🏼

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Glad you like them!

[@lisachalk9058]

Thank you 🎸

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thank you too!

[@danielmesery2904]

Thanks 🎸

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You bet!

[@fishermaneb]

Put your capo on the first fret, then tune it standard. Take the capo off your tuned in.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jimadams5574]

loved this lesson Kevin! I really like the relaxed version you played - sounds real nice. Question: what picks does Maggie like the best? I'd go with the medium myself lol! Thanks for another great lesson - you made this song sound so flowing and it is actually relaxing .. nice job

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks so much! Such kind words and I am happy to help. Maggie prefers thin- easier to chew…

[@AppalatchieRaised]

Awesome !

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks!

[@margarethekorlacki5690]

You are welcome

[@chantalnadeautoutsimplement]

❤Merci !

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are welcome.

[@davidspencer2333]

Another great lesson Kevin! Can you add a tab for that combination picking/strumming you showed us starting at 14:20 in your video?

[@davidspencer2333]

Nevermind- I see it now!

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks! Happy you liked it. Great tune!

Hi , Nice lesson. Can you do a lesson on "so far away" by mark knopfler

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

I'll check it out!

[@fredeferreira4416]

Show de bola, dá um abraço no dog!

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks!

[@TinaGeary]

😂stressing me out too. But how do you tune down? Do you have to re-tune guitar strings to diff notes? Mmm probably but how do you know what to change them too, guess by ear maybe or is there a quick fix 😅 tkx u all xx

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Lol. You will need to use a tuner and tune all the strings down 1/2 step. So Eb Ab Db and so on.

[@mikefromchelsea8119]

Thanks for all this. Perfect lessons for my skill set

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

You are welcome.

[@veraoates9018]

I’m no expert but at around 3:50 after explaining the strum missing beat two you’re playing DDDDU or that’s what it looks n sounds like .. sorry to be pedantic as it sounds good anyway

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Nice catch :)

[@veraoates9018]

Sorry Kevin I was just struggling to get my strumming to sound like yours lol

[@tepoynter]

I love this lesson Kevin but I was having the same problem. I just could not hear that missing second strum ; so I finally went to the comments to see if anybody had the same issue. Glad to find the answer. And it sounds great with DDDU.

[@mikeryan6277]

Video idea for you: how to tune your guitar down a half step, lol

[@sweetkittiez]

I don't understand it some days I can barely get anything to come out the guitar and then some days I sit down and play the song flawlessly within a couple hours

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

That happens. It’s important to play a little a day because it all stacks up and then it clicks and it’s great!

[@pnaylish1004]

Maggie May is a good dog.

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

Thanks!

[@trevorrobinson2431]

It's a great song to learn and if you listen to the Scorpions "Always Somewhere ",you'll find them almost identical. I start playing one and end up playing the other. 😊

[@Relaxandlearnguitar]

I'll check it out!

[@trevorrobinson2431]

Youruber Jorge Chorau has put both together for comparison.
