[@collinbauer8971]

Great lesson man. The way you break it down is great for a beginner finger picker like me, keep up the great work! Donate to this man! We need to support great/useful content like this

[@MikesMusicMethod]

yes! thanks collin for understanding the v4v model! And thanks for the kind words. I'm trying my best to make these both accurate and digestable. Not dumbed down, but approachable! I'll keep em coming. Throw some other songs at me!

[@AlaskaJiuJitsu]

Literally just got my first guitar at 35, never played. Searched a tutorial for this 15 minutes ago, will be watching all your plucking videos. Thank you!!

[@MikesMusicMethod]

Senor Crypto, I think you lucked out! I'll toot my own horn for a second and say I think i've got the best collection of finger picking tunes on the webs, and as a guitar/piano teacher for the last 20 years I've really tried my best to make these videos as if I was giving a personal one on one lesson to a student. lmk how it goes and keep me posted on your progress or if you get discouraged so I can help!

[@RazzNasty]

This is the place to be. Mike is the man!

[@davek00]

You’re in the right place. Mike’s is the best fingerpicking channel on youtube. His song selection is spot on and his style of teaching is clear and precise, just like it should be. Plus he’s a pretty funny guy.

[@gshick]

Killer format. It’s obvious you really want people to learn this song. Love the hat

[@MikesMusicMethod]

i really enjoy playing my takemine, especially tuned down a whole step. The tactile feel is the best. Over cooked Spaghetti Noodles.

[@subestimado2128]

Great lesson. If you’re having trouble with this one, I recommend learning Railroad Blues. The picking is less complicated and is a great way to nail the ragtime style.

[@MikesMusicMethod]

dude. thanks! i can't say I agree because i dont know the tune but i LOVE comments like this. Let's help eachother out. we've got a great community of pickers here.

Nice man! Would love to see cowpoke and plain to see plainsman

[@MikesMusicMethod]

Any particular version. When I listen I'm hearing just a lot of pick strum. Is it simple enough to just follow along with the chords, or would a tutorial be worth while?

[@TheYammerHammer]

Lets talk about that tuning real quick. Are you sure he is not drop the high E to a D then capo on 2nd fret? To make it easer with the 7th? I could be wrong. But this song to me does not sound like a full drop tune

[@MikesMusicMethod]

The song sounds like it's in standard. But Colter always has his guitar tuned down a whole step. He said it's an old guitar and high tension puts too much stress on the wood. Cohen and Cotten also down tune. The strings have a great tactile feel when they're loose. But in this song he has the capo on the 2nd fret and this exactly off sets his tuning so that it simply sounds like standard. I just watched a few live clips and confirmed this. What do you mean by "make it easier with the 7th"?

[@TheYammerHammer]

@@MikesMusicMethod yeah I tried it it...sounded like shit. Blaze Foley was a master at that. Anyways I do drop tune for Colter songs. It's easier for me to sing and play

[@gunnarcausey4467]

trying to learn this with a broken ring finger on picking hand is not desirable

[@MikesMusicMethod]

Bummer. Just try and float that right hand and only do pointer and middle. Good luck!

[@FuckYouWhosNext]

WOW nice tune Mike! I might have to give that one a try!

[@MikesMusicMethod]

yeah, Colter has some great ones. Learn it!
