Operator by Jim Croce - Guitar Lesson

[@thomassayer2828]

This is one of my favorite songs, thank you so much for doing a video on it. 😊

[@HuntersMoon73]

For heaven's sake, you did an absolutely stellar job on this song, sir! I think you said your name is Chris? Sorry if I got that wrong, you speak very fast! You've done Jim & Maury proud here.

[@barryemerson3526]

Thanks for the lesson! Started on it yesterday. Always like to watch how your fingers move about which makes it easier for me to learn the song. Definitely some parts that will be challenging for me which is one of the reasons I chose the song. Plus it is such a great song when played well. 👍👍

[@jamesgoodman3705]

Great tutorial. You’re very clear in your instructions. Anyone saying you’re playing too fast just needs to rewind! Haha

[@ryan_raus]

Noooo I was so excited to see you play the harmony part!! I’ll have to slow the video down and watch you play that part to learn it. Great video!

[@FayeDeGon]

I think the power and beauty of the instrument was demonstrated through finger picking. 12:41

[@lapanthere1000]

Thank you very much for this very detailed and very applied lesson, it was a pleasure.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Pleased you enjoyed it

[@mertman1]

Thanks For Sharing. Been watching Josh Turner Guitar he covers a lot of cool older songs.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Yeah, I think Josh Turner is great.

[@stevenfisher2609]

Absolutely fantastic!! Thank you for this. Been searching for years and finally a legit tutorial.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot Steven

[@Tyfarns]

Awesome, will be learning this tonight!

[@cherylrichards4794]

Excellent tutorial. You’re a fantastic teacher!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks very much

[@michaelbanlat2004]

Great lesson 👍👍👍 Tnx Godbless

[@houstonmatelski6434]

Great tutorial man! For the life of me, I can’t understand why there’s ANY dislikes. But haters will hate I guess. Well played and gone through for the lesson. I’m excited to get going on this. Might take me sometime, but will definitely use this video for reference. God bless and keep up the good work

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot, I'm really pleased that you liked the lesson. All the best

[@mlkbeat]

Because he did the easy parts slow and the hard parts fast... frustrating

[@dennisxenos3357]

Thank you for sharing this info sir..its a big help

[@TheRealAestuo]

It is a very good tutorial. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, would you please consider slowing down your speech as you say which fret with which finger on which string? It is difficult to follow when it is a jumble of words and then corrected because you misspoke. Such as starting at 4:29 then 10 seconds of confusion, followed by further confusion until 4:53. In the end I got it, but the amount of times I watched that segment over, back to back, was stressful. Aside from that, you nailed this tutorial. Many thanks for the effort. You certainly earned this sub, and I'll see you at your website.

[@lanskisavarris7091]

Superb tutorial

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot

[@cherylrichards4794]

Is there a trick to playing the hammer-on within the Bm chord? I keep accidentally muting the B string.

[@victormachado-guitarist]

Nice job with this lesson

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Cheers

[@jamisf914]

Learning the lead section right now, using a thumbpick seems like the way to go if you have some experience using one. It makes the quick switches from flat picking to finger style seamless

[@phillydude782422]

Hey man can i say Great job also can i make a one suggestion? put the tabs of what your playing while playing it to really help drive it home some people need that Visual but other than that AWESOME instructional video

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Tyler glad you like it. I certainly would add the tabs but it breaks copyright laws. It can get you shut down so the risk isn't worth it for me. Cheers

[@groovypotato61]

Great toturial! I want to know if you would ever consider doing a tutorial on sarah Mclachlan "when she loved me"?

[@_LoneWoulfe]

Thanks for the lesson mate

[@edwardpaul2806]

Awesome bro continue to do fingerstyle intros

[@jimheffernan6341]

Beautiful Song and played likewise. Have you any tips for the set up of the guitar and the spec of the guitar best suited to this fingerpicking?

[@pakyoungchae]

How do you put the c apo on and take it off so fast while playing?

[@legit_cheese6696]

Love the tutorial, man. Could you do Dear Marie by John Mayer?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks, yep I'll be doing that one soon.

[@mickmars2982]

Is this in E Standard tuning

[@Jimpix57]

Nice

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Cheers

[@mortenandersen2609]

pls do endless road by Tommy Emmanuel

[@acmagaway4453]

can you do a tutorial on this with tabs

[@johnjohnson2104]

Can you teach the second part?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Link in description

[@UnpluggedHimalayan]

When can we expect my requests, dear marie and slow dancing?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Dear Marie soon, not sure about Slow Dancing.

[@kevinwoodring]

Even Finger blasting?

[@stevenwallace122]

Man, I wish I could play that well! But I don't!

[@adamforest1986]

Bruh I was just sitting hear wrightg down Martin Elijahs part then I click on this and I'm like what😃😃😃

[@jempaz8868]

I didn't learn playing by ear n here I'm trying to play finger picking 🙄

[@stefhen71]

new sub here

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thank you!

[@Swizzle62]

Thank you………… ^_^

[@gabrielmarshall9132]

It looks like Jim plays the G chord in open position

[@mizcreant]

There goes my subscription. I was considering it, but when I got to the end and realized it was probably paid content for the chorus and stuff... nah. There's at least one other site that'll teach the whole song, note for note (on the studio recording)

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

All my song lessons are 100% free.

[@mizcreant]

@@SixStringFingerpicking Sorry about the assumption. I was frustrated when I realized it would take more navigation and then I might have to pay... etc. AFTER I spent the requisite time to learn this friggin song. I'll reconsider. Peace.

[@Apocalypse3]

Great tutorial but I have skill issues😅

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

You can do it!

[@ivtones]

Jesus Loves You

[@dormantmenace]

Liar

[@RedDeadRambler]

Bro what​@dormantmenace

[@mrubin6270]

nice guitar work but! I have one for You..."you talk too much you never shut up"

[@karennelson4196]

No ones learning nothing, your playing to fast!!

[@robertgiles9124]

LEAVE IT TO a Karen to talk trash. Not too fast...you're too slow. Go hire a teacher cheapskate.

[@unklekody]

in the video settings, you can slow down the video. Although, if you're really struggling to keep up and that doesn't help, it might be worth checking out some easier songs to start with! Best of luck 🤞
