I’ve been working on this fingerpicking pattern for about a month after seeing this video, and it’s been great. The pattern is now automatic and I now have the confidence that I can learn any fingerpicking pattern. So this video has been very helpful for me. Thank you.

[@LaurenBateman]

I’ve been going through a real rut with my guitar playing, it’s not my first instrument so sometimes I can let it slide (no pun intended) then this came up in my suggested videos and it gave me a whole new song that I’ve always loved but never considered learning and was a fun wee exercise for me that has helped me rediscover a flame for my guitar.

@@LaurenBateman I’m so happy to finally be able to finger pick a song, especially one as iconic as this one. Now I can trick people into thinking I’m good at this 😆🤣

It is a good trick! A little of this fingerpicking and a little slide action and people think I’m a guitar master, haha

[@Chedi57]

Lauren, you have a gift for breaking down a song into an easy-to-follow format. Thank you.

[@sinistar426]

Its actually a Am7 chord meaning the G string is left open when fretting that chord. The G string isnt fretted at all during the verse, its left open to ring using Cmaj, G/B and Am7.

[@heyhighhello]

This helps with your Travis picking for sure. Dust in the wind as well just a little different of a variation on picking and chords. Thanks for this tutorial

[@LaurenBateman]

You're welcome!

[@WatchfulHunter]

No emotion at all till she started singing the words. This song somehow instantly breaks my heart everytime and I cry profoundly sad tears. Stevie and I share the same changes in our lives. Our children grow up and move away. And we are left alone. We realize we have given our lives for our kids and didn't think they would leave so soon and abruptly. So our heart is still emotionally attached to oir kids. And now we are faced with growing old alone.

Awesome lesson. Your teaching method makes this possible for us mainly strumming players. Thank You so much for breaking down these songs to a simple level.

I'm looking to get back into playing. I've only ever played chords before, I gigged but i always shyed away from any picking! So I wanted a good beginner's easy picking song and the universe put this on my feed. This song it is then! Good job I love it! Thanks for a brilliant lesson🙏

[@pcka12]

@@LaurenBateman I must be perverse then, apologies

[@tomdaoust]

@@LaurenBateman Maybe you could add a full song demo at the end. Maybe I'm odd, but I find a beginning demo inspiring. It shows me the teacher can play the song like a pro. I like that. But I can understand how some folks would watch a true professional demo and say, “I could never do that.” Click. On to something that looks easier. I think it was Thomas Edison who said, “The person who thinks he can do something, and the person who thinks he can’t…are both right.”

[@transformer889]

Great teacher with a great voice

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching!

[@tomdaoust]

I hear people say this a lot, “I tried playing guitar. It didn't work.” It usually means it was too hard initially, so I gave up. I came up with my own advice for people who are working hard and sticking with something until they achieve (not just find) success: “You have to tolerate being very bad along the path to joyous success. There are far more former guitar players than there are good guitarists who plowed thru being very bad.”

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for sharing!

[@tomdaoust]

@@LaurenBateman The path to joyous success requires patience, persistence, determination, and frequent practice. Sadly, few people have all of that in their heart. I'm 72. And I've strummed chords for 56 years. Now, I'm finally determined to become a successful finger style guitar player with my newly-acquired Martin D-18. Thanks for helping me along the road.

[@skane3109]

Well presented. A solid finger picking lesson of an iconic song. Nice voice too

[@ChristinaRienks]

Thanks so much for posting this, Lauren! I'm still new to Travis picking and have been wanting to learn this song. I appreciated how you played both slowly and in real time with your singing. :)

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for listening

[@jeffmckinnon5842]

I'm a hi-bread picker, meaning that I often use a pick, or my fingers, or both. Because this progression always sits on top of the actual open chords, you can also use a pick, to get comfortable with the overall tempo, or flow of the song, as well as developing other beneficial techniques. It quickly becomes hard to make "noticeable mistakes" I am not sure if this advice is actually helpful for beginners, or not, but it is worth a try, It can help you to develop pinkie strength in a more natural way. The habits we develop as beginners, are often a part of our own "style" later on, which is not always a bad thing...

[@davebowman6497]

Great lesson! Excellent choice of beginner picking pattern! My experience, for what it's worth: Thing with fingerpicking is you need to practice enough so that it is automatic. Just as said near the end of the video, if you start thinking about your picking hand while playing you will probably mess up. A good habit is to start very slowly and repeat, snd repeat. Only when you can keep it up for a long time (minutes!) you increase the tempo (small increases!). Use a metronome to pace youself (smartphone metronome apps exists!). You might spend a few days on it, or a few weeks. You will probably sigh a lot etc, but stay with it. Because.. One day, suddenly, out of nowhere, it just starts to work without you thinking about it. You will now be free to use your active thoughts for your fretting hand. Takeaways: 1 - Practice the right way. 2 - Be patient. 3 - You WILL succed!

[@Gregdsilva915]

Nice lesson really good should do the solo as well.

[@LaurenBateman]

Thanks for watching!

[@kentv999]

Great Video! For me, it would be helpful to have one brief shot of the overall chord progression by name. Even it if was just 5 secs still frame, it would let me write down the chord progression. Or at a minimum, put the chord names above the pattern. - but beautiful rendition and I appreciate you putting this together for us.

I learnt that Am or Am7 can be used, Am7 just gives a touch more tone on the melody/sound also Am is easier for beginners then progress to Septime

[@m33pnuggt41]

G/B means it's a G major with a B in the bass

[@LaurenBateman]

Yes

[@LMacNeill]

Man, I like that guitar... It's a shame they don't make it in left-handed form -- *very* few of the Builder's Edition guitars are available in left-handed form. I love fingerpicking. I suck at it. But I love it. My problem is twofold: 1) it's far too easy to have a dead string, which you wouldn't really hear if you were strumming, but it's quite obvious when you're picking individual strings in the chord, and 2) I can't seem to change chords without stopping my picking hand while the chord change is in progress. Of course, I can't seem to do that even when I'm strumming, so I guess that's just a general chord-changing problem for me...

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww they don't. That stinks! You don't stink. You are learning. It will get better with time.

something I do instead of playing the entire chords for the chorus, is I just play 6 string, 6th fret (this is the G chord) 6th string, 5th fret (this is the D/F# chord) 4th string, 5th fret (this is the Em chord) We are not picking the strings for the rest of the chord, so no need to play the entire chord out.

[@LaurenBateman]
