Play These Classic Acoustic Songs With Only a Few Chords

[@jamesnorman7552]

Hi, I have to say, after ten plus years of watching guitar tutorial videos, yours has to be one of the best I have come across, so relaxed and to the point, thank you so much.

[@OneJobTwoJobs]

Good explanation on the implied triplet feel for 'Horse with no name'. Good lesson on rhythm on guitar. Good work Leigh.

Ive been teaching myself for a year now. I chose songs which i knew lyrically and could work toward the rythym and then add finger picking. So I have those plus i add new ones to challenge and grow my skills while also adding Theory and using patterns to find all the notes on the fretboard. My first four gotos are: 1) Against the Wind - Bob Seger 2) Save Tonight - Buckeye Cherry 3) Let it Be - Beatles 4) Come On Get Higher - Matt Nathanson

Great lessons, thanks

[@lubobaroto]

Hello, You are doing great as a teacher, but let me give you one advice. It is going to be very helpful to perform part of the song before start explaining how to play.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed

@@jameslifetimelearnernope, as it’s educational content, and I’m not using any extracts from the actual songs (because I’m playing them) it’s covered under a fair use policy. Educational materials are fair use when it comes to copyright, this is KZbin’s rule. If I used segments of the actual recordings then it would cause a copyright issue

Yup! Gotta be! Otherwise it affects videos. gotta keep up to date on the KZbin rules haha

Very helpfull video! Thanks!

Good beginner lessons! Have you got anything for more advanced players who can follow you in real time, sans explaining? Kinda like you do at the end of each example, where you play while the chord is shown? I’m asking for myself, heehee. That’s because I play by ear well enough to catch ( and play) most everything on a recording before it’s done. But! I might interpolate it wrong with a wrong improvisation. Like the “add,” “aug,” etc chord embellishments. Regardless, you’re doing something really good!

[@HannahCope88]

Love this! I just picked up a cheapy electro acoustic 🙂

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Amazing! What brand did you buy?

[@HannahCope88]

@@LeighFugeGuitar I found it locally on FB marketplace for £40, it's a Freshman brand purple maple ridge colour/design, has a folk shape body with a cutaway. From what I could find out through searching the net they are around the £300 area brand new, this one pretty much is. It looks barely touched or at least well looked after. Came with a bag, strap, couple of picks, 2 capos and a cable so it was a pretty good deal!

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Thanks man! It’s nearly finished now! Few more sessions and it’s all done! It’s been a painful 5 months 😂

[@jamesstandish7716]

I don’t think those are the correct chords for Horse with no name? It doesn’t sound right?

[@cchplays8182]

wrong chords yep

[@suraceryan]

No it doesn’t was thinking the same thing

[@chaos-inc]

Em Em D6/9 D6/9 x2

[@PhilBaird1]

Play a standard Em at the second fret. The D6th is then played using the bass strings, by dropping the second finger to the G string for the A note. The F sharp is played with the pinkie on the D string at the fourth fret. Sounds just like the original. A second guitar could play it the way shown in the video as it's the same notes.

[@Dragon_rls]

I like the song from the dead puke from the Beatles.

[@CobblerzsongImmaSoleMan]

There are 2 dead pukes from the Beatles.

[@thebrysmith3]

Nice rundown of A Horse With No Name. Too bad it's such a stupid song. 😁

[@mikemoodie]

Agree, it's just too inane to bother learning

[@PhilBaird1]

It's American symbolism of its time and very enigmatic.

[@nursetom61]

Sometimes you have to know when to shut up. His constant talking when he should be demonstrating is too much

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Yeah, I agree. I hate it when people explain things in proper detail. I just prefer vague videos that make learning difficult.
