Definitely want to play this one. Dark songs are right up my alley.

@@anthonypeterson3112 Thanks Anthony! It’s a great song of darkness!

[@thomasstampflmeier8991]

beautifully done as always.

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@thomasstampflmeier8991 Thanks for watching Tom!

[@glenncoody]

Masterfully done as always, Mike! Thoroughly enjoyed the video. 💯👍🆙️

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Thanks so much Glenn!

Evening Mike , Thanks for both "One" and now Mad World, great performances.. We are getting used to a new guitar every week . Keep it up:). My wife thinks thinks I have too many but I always say the next one will be my last one. Like a song that never ends😁

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@dennisk5082 Thanks for watching Dennis! I buy 2 to 3 guitars per year, but also sell the same amount. My wife likes the “one in, one out” model.

[@dennisk5082]

I always have a hard time selling though 😢

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@dennisk5082 I hear you! I have a couple of huge regrets on guitars I’ve sold.

[@ConjuntoFan]

I had never heard the song nor of the band, but it is a nice sounding song. Thanks again Mike!!

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@ConjuntoFan Thanks Tony! Sometimes the songs I choose are a little esoteric.

[@PaulNelson-f3o]

That is reall good interpreation Mike. Thanks! !st tiem I heard Jules version I was stunned!

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@PaulNelson-f3o Thanks Paul! Same for me… what an incredible cover. Most of my veteran students love this version.

[@PaulNelson-f3o]

@@campfire_guitar_lessons What's cool is that if you put the capo on the 1st fret you can accompany Jules, or the 2nd Fret and funk it up with Tears For Fears., your lead works perfect on bother versions!

[@mikeackley-fo8il]

Nice job Mike... love it!

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@mikeackley-fo8il Thanks Mic! This one ought to work well for our G4V beginners toward the end of the program.

Love this song, thank you Mike for another lesson. I should be able to master this one. I love the little walk down riff, need to put the practice in to be able to sing at the same time. Loving your new Taylor. Looks and sounds fabulous. I recently acquired a 614ce , that too plays and sounds beautiful, my best guitar (so far) 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@paulwilson1110 Thanks Paul! I hope you are doing well! Everybody needs at least one Taylor… the 14 series are the Swiss Army knives of guitars. I hadn’t had one for the past year since I sold my 914ce. Forgot the stunning ease with which they play compared to other acoustics.

[@paulwilson1110]

@@campfire_guitar_lessons thanks Mike, I'm recovering well from surgery (removal of a kidney) think it was caught early , I'll know for sure in a few weeks. In the meantime I'm loving your lessons

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@paulwilson1110 Great to hear Paul. I have two buddies that went through the same procedure that are doing fantastically years later. Best to you!

[@flouisbailey]

Hi Mike you did great as always, KZbin changed things and I don’t get notifications any more. It’s a Mad World for sure.

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@flouisbailey Thanks Flou! I think if you hit the subscribe button and the notifications bell, you should be back in business… just like the good, old LiNO days!

[@dukeofearl4117]

Nice Mike. I like this song. Have you always had the Taylor? I always wanted one but they were out of my budget.

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Thanks Earl! This is my third redwood-topped Taylor. I sold the first two, but this one really spoke to me at my local Taylor dealer last weekend.

[@texhaines9957]

It looks like a Taylor 50th Anniversary Grand Auditorium, with sinker redwood?

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

@@texhaines9957 Of course you would notice, Tex! Yes, I picked it up at my local Taylor dealer last week. Really enjoying the stellar playability and dark tone. I haven’t owned a Taylor for about a year, so it feels nice to have one again!
