My mother loved this song.... she passed away a few years ago and playing this song makes me feel that she is sitting with me and listening. listening. Thank you.....this is truly a gift!

[@songnotes]

Hi Russ, sorry to hear about losing your Mom, but so glad this song can help bring her presence back. All the best to you!

[@Asiasushja]

Thank you for everything David. I've learned 7 songs from your channel so far. I've seen hundreds of other youtube guitar teachers online but none of them visualizes the songs as good and easy as you do. Thank you and please keep posting new songs.

[@derbybagger5236]

What I like about the way this is presented is you can literally play it with 1 note the whole way through (highlighted in yellow) and then add the other notes as you figure it out 1 at a time... or you can play all of them and keep going! Excellent!

[@JamesGreenier]

This is an incredible instruction video! It brings clarity to music theory too.

[@songnotes]

Thanks, glad to hear!

[@canadiansparky64]

It is like you read my mind and then make a lesson for it. I have been wondering how to do those voice melodies, what an incredible journey you have taken me on to learning guitar in my past 3 years.

[@songnotes]

Thanks Darren! Great to hear. Full lesson for this coming soon!

[@Andrewjmarino]

Hello As always, David, thank you for your lessons. They are some of the best guitar lessons available. I have a question on this which confuses me. in this video you have the second chord as "G", (C-G) but in your other video (lesson #349) for this song, the second chord is an "Em" which I think is also how most other guitarists play it C-Em-Am-F Can you please clarify how that works with the melody line if using the Em and not the G Thanks

When I learn this, my wife is going to go CRAZY!!!

[@songnotes]

Nice :) Hope she liked it!

[@45dgwatson]

This video (IMHO) just paid for my subscription to your site!

[@sparadial2432]

I love your videos!! yet, for me watching you play is 1000% easier than trying to understand the notes on the fretboard

[@neiljohnson9252]

Great video on explaining your process! Nicely done.

[@songnotes]

thanks Neil!

great lesson man🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

[@keltiekennedy871]

Thank you so much for the lesson. It is extremely helpful using so many skills to help understand songs.

[@FredTassin]

Hi David, I have been following you lessons and find them really useful. In lesson #349, the chord version of Can't Help Falling In Love, you use a different chord progression (C-Em-Am-Am). Which one is correct?

[@lottolearn6658]

WOW! Such an incredible technique and instruction. Thanks for this!

[@songnotes]

thanks so much Edgar!

@@songnotes Thank you

[@robertselkirk674]

Hi, just found this site and it seems nice and helpful; only problem I'm having is that all other sites and music books have the chord (written by you in red) above rather then below. It's giving an old git like me trouble. But still, love the site. And Stay Safe too; PLEASE.

[@songnotes]

thanks Robert! I saw someone else remark about this too. Honestly I hadn't thought much about this but will keep it in mind for future transcriptions. I suppose I like how the counting (under the tab) is more directly lined up with the chords, when the chord names are underneath. Again can consider this in the future as it's just a matter of habit to be honest. thanks!

[@marcotonetti]

Is that a GS mini Koa?

[@songnotes]

Yes indeed - got it a few months ago - love it!

Can you make a tab and lesson for Colter Walls “Bald Butte”

[@songnotes]

Let me give that one a listen, I need to get back to some more Colter! He's so good.

[@johnvanlent3770]

Very nice this. BUt ....Sorry for the but, You write as it is in C major, however when you use the capo the tone changes and you might have written on the fact sheet the tone is not in C major, but in D major. So it aught to be starting with D in the scale if you want to play along and exercise. However, why did you transpose it. It may be more complex and put people of instead of using no capo. With all regards. Greetings John.

[@songnotes]

hi John, emailed you a response! thanks so much
