[@danquinnpsy.d.4935]

Rob, great lesson, thank you and I envy your voice. The link for the pdf is broken - I'm able to download pdfs for other songs, but not for this one?

[@rockabye63]

I just came for the lesson & I'm more amazed with the vocals.

[@davidmichael2011]

Dude that was amazing!!! I did not expect that voice to come out. I was just looking for guitar lessons but man that was awesome!

[@kenmathews]

We're you looking for guitar or vocal lessons.??

[@345kobi]

Rob is a great teacher. Part of the reason is that He doesn't go off on tangents. He is passionate and obviously very skilled on the instrument. THANKS

[@rudyramirezjr2309]

Your voice has a lot of soul man! Love it

[@swiftlessons]

Hey thanks Rudy, almost blew it out on this one. Sam was a true virtuoso!

[@paulmundy8312]

You have such an amazing voice. I love your guitar lessons as it is but i could just as easily listen to your vocals on their own

[@SketchingRocks]

W O W...one of the best I've ever heard...lost for words now.

[@redrock1963]

Yeah ya know this is an "Easy Songs for Guitar" but what really makes this are your amazing vocals. Just superb.

[@dandamerville]

OK, I believe it -- that someone requested a lesson on the wonderful song. Sure, why not? Then again, if I could sing the sweet bejeezus out of the song the way you do, I'd sing it every chance i got, request or no.

[@williamleija5784]

Holy vocal chords! That was probably the best version I have ever heard... I ain't kidding ,your voice is spot on great!

[@hankfleming0560]

This is the greatest cover i’ve heard of this song

[@jorgemiro1613]

Whether the video is old or new, you always deliver a stellar performance 👏

[@ikepeters9758]

Not sure why someone would give this lesson a thumbs down WOW !!!!

[@stevedouglas7375]

Good lesson. Just yesterday I was listening to a song Sam wrote and that came out in 1964. "A Change Is Gonna Come."

[@swiftlessons]

One of absolutely favorites!

[@stevedouglas7375]

Cool, glad to know you dig it. It's absolutely awesome.

[@samwesker5104]

I actually can not thank you enough, recently my guitar teacher stopped teaching and I kind lost motivation and when I saw the run through of the song at the start, I really didn’t think I was gonna play that but ur teaching was super helpful and easy to follow, and for that a thank you 🙏

[@onigiri5460]

Sir, this was utterly amazing, thank you.

[@swiftlessons]

Hey Aydan, thanks so much for the positive feedback. So glad you enjoyed this lesson. Many more are on the way both here and via Patreon.com/swiftlesson. Have fun and enjoy your progress. -Rob

[@philippinefandango2859]

I really enjoy it when you teach these old school soul songs... I enjoy all your songs, but those in particular... Picked up a tip that you didn't mention, and thank you for it... With the Fmaj, covering the G,B,E with your fore finger seems so much easier than just covering the B,E... It is a real help... Thanks again for the video, Brother!!!!

[@swiftlessons]

That's true, best of all, you can easily turn it minor if you hold down all three. Great tip!

[@camrons.lowkey]

nearly brought me to tears, you have a beautiful voice man; definitely earned a new subscriber

[@KDunn123]

This was beautiful.

[@datguy2nv]

Awesome tutorial full of informative detail. Thank you man!

[@germaintremblay6107]

Awsome I play this song almost every day in my playing practice. Just love this song and I play it normally in the key of E so I will have to transpose the intro riff in the key of E. Rob very good lesson of one of my favotites song. Now I have to go and learn the intro riff. I am so happy you made my day. Keep the good music goin’

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks Germain, I'll be focusing on song tutorials more in the coming weeks. Yes, key of E would be more comfortable for me as well. Have fun!

[@harrywhite7251]

Great job! I have always loved this song! Your singing voice is great 👍

[@itzkatsawayo]

Can you provide a lesson for Sam Cooke's "That's Where It's At"?

[@bridgettehutton646]

You are not. only a great tutor and player but your singing is top notch you have the whole package...love you much handsome❤️❤️❤️

[@jonathangomez4533]

Voice of an angel :)

[@swiftlessons]

Hey thanks Jonathan! I almost put this one away, it’s just a little out of my range and I really wanted to be able to sing the whole thing in full voice. So that will be my homework for the week.

[@miriammayi1380]

Fun

[@brianlaflamme7182]

Great vocals man

[@jettchou962]

OMG THAT VOICE!!!

[@haviskam]

Beautiful singing. World class.

[@habsom1406]

The boy sure can sing. Came for the guitar but was blown away by the voice.

[@earlsmith8867]

I've performed Bring it on Home many times with Drink Small (the BluesDoctor) Drink toured with Sam Cook for a couple of years as his keyboard player and knows Sam Cooks songs better then anyone I've every met. in 08 We did a show with Al Green and performed. Bring it on Home Al's vocals where awesome. But my friend Sam Cook's smiling down on you for this great performance of Bring it on Home. Thank you.

[@alidittmar]

Rob your voice is awesome and on point!

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks Ali, really pushed myself hard on this one, definitely a bit out of my range, but I think I can get comfortable in this key with some regular practice. Sam really was an amazing singer!

[@russride]

Great singing. And playing.

[@grasshopper1988]

3:10 end of lesson!

[@bobgreenhouse4801]

[@c.hundley9714]

Beautiful song and fantastic video. Great job.

[@keith9713]

Great voice and super job man !! Loved it!

[@captainkangaroo4301]

I remember years ago when the Jerry Garcia Band did their debut performance of Sam Cookes “Wonderful World”. We all freaked out. It was great they paid homage to Cooke. Then years later they started playing Louis Armstrong completely different but identically titled song. Jerry had become a crooner. Great memories.

[@Sumucr7]

I love you man ! You have like all of favourite song lessons !

[@secretdaisy6484]

At this point I’m not very interested in learning the beginning which isn’t terribly difficult but I want to learn to play the song chords first. BTW you are one of the best singers I’ve heard on any of these tutorials and your Guild guitar 🎸 is awesome 🤩. Thanks for the video. 👍☮️🌞🎸❤️

[@JayantaDas-rj9lv]

every time my brain force me to comment for.... brilliant voice...wth guitaring .. its early morning in India...

[@swiftlessons]

Thank you Jayanta, always a pleasure to hear from you!

[@79943]

Holy crap! I came here to check out some easy acoustic chords and almost fell out of my chair when you started singing. You got some nice pipes man. Awesome voice. Now I'm going to work on the guitar part which seems excellent as well as your singing. Thanks for posting this.

[@r52euphoria]

Great as usual Rob. How about some Harry Chapin, Mr Tanner or Taxi. Thanks again.

[@darinjindakul2625]

Thank you for nice lesson 👍👍👍

[@misterjones2278]

[@petersearls3635]

Well done

[@bobgreenhouse4801]

Great 👍 artist great song great guitar work

[@Leisureman8]

I love this song. It never occurred to me to cover it on the guitar. Thank you! Could you do a similar lesson on Bill Withers’s “Use me up”?

[@rhum66]

Man, you sing like an Angel !!!! Crazy

[@lamper2]

I love the Animals version best esp. when he laughs right after "you know i laughed"

[@lesterbronson2385]

Hell yeah man haha. Feel the same way. Shit is badass.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

I know you get many requests for easy song lessons but you should consider a great, easy song written by Kris Kristofferson and made famous by Johnny Cash. “Sunday Morning Coming Down “.

[@meetaliuohri5289]

That was amazing👏👏 Is it possible if you can make a tutorial of song heartbeat by Christopher? Looking forward to it. Thank you!

[@nordinedjaouani1255]

Bravo ❤

[@tariqxl]

Be honest, how many ladies have you wooed with that voice? Damn fine singing, should do vocal tutorials too.

[@michaels682]

Wow amazing voice mannnn

[@andrezander7206]

Very good thanks

[@jjfitnesselevation3352]

woah!! bro!! damn! ha ha! superb. thanks

[@Zurelmusic]

@swiftlessons What's that painting behind you!? You sound great btw, but my grandpa owned this painting long ago and I'd like to find one myself. Let me know if you can! Thanks. Adrian

[@predragsinko2513]

Very very nice 👍

[@swiftlessons]

Glad you’re enjoying this, definitely been on my to-do list for a while. Thanks!

[@rosangelarose6178]

Musical apaixonante! AMO A MUSICA E VOCÊ!

[@Pick_Nick]

Thank you, Captain America!

[@tonyc2570]

Thank you!!

[@jeffreese4194]

Great lesson and oh my gosh I didn't realize how high Sam Cooke sang. Wonderful rendition but I'll be transposing to sing lol 🎶

[@swiftlessons]

Oh yeah Jeff, he had a tremendous range. This is about as high as I can sing with my full voice, but I only got a few takes in me before my voice gets exhausted.

[@jeffreese4194]

@@swiftlessons but I must add you sure did a fine job 👍. Keep up the great oldies and thank you for teaching them to younger generations

[@marksc1929]

..great job 👍....btw I rely on my Guild also ...💯

[@erwmlw]

Do you ever perform anywhere, wouldn't mind coming to one of your shows?

[@davidg5832]

A Captain Birdseye fan I see!

[@darioceliz76]

👏 bravo

[@tonym7051]

Your Guild is back ;)

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks for checking in Tony! Yep, glad to have it back in order, still needs the frets done, but playing much better now.

[@robdonell9915]

Hello friend, am curious if your vocal range is tenor ? Great sound and quality. Hope to learn more here.

[@brankoj62]

Cool!!!

[@noellyons7016]

Can you please do Red Right Hand from Peaky Blinders

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks for the recommendation, new one for me. Can you submit that at swiftlessons.com/Request_a_Song?

[@hologram2810]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

[@kingdavidhoward]

Great job, as usual on a Sam cook classic, you think you could do another sam cook classic called a change gonna come. Thank

[@JayJay-pm9ib]

nice tutorial man but whats the point in using the number system on the intro then reverting back to letters on the verse and chorus, although its a very easy lesson. you could avoid stuff like that to save any confusion

[@JayJay-pm9ib]

also singing along to the part that youre playing helps

[@swiftlessons]

Hey Jay, thanks, glad you're enjoying the lesson. Referring to the progression first by letter note names, then by their interval number was to help students draw the connection. My goal is to challenge everyone to understand and make use of music theory, and sometimes confusion is a healthy step in that process. I'm focusing on this a bit extra at the moment, because I've been posting a lot of composition tutorials. Have fun!

[@JayJay-pm9ib]

I have to agree with you there, keep the lessons coming bro!

[@DonkeyboyWilson]

Wow

[@vasantshanbhag2790]

Nice one Rob. Can u pls explain why there are 4 beats in a bar in this song as u said? I thought it's 6/8

[@swiftlessons]

Hey Vasant, I’m counting it in four four, but giving it a standard blues triplet feel. I suppose you could count it in 3/4 time, but it’s much more comfortable to count it in 4/4 time with accents on beats 2 & 4.

[@vasantshanbhag2790]

swiftlessons Thanks Rob fr taking time out to reply

[@swiftlessons]

Any time bud, thanks for checking out the lesson!

[@evamello7983]

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks for stopping in Eva!

[@rrrrkoop2776]

were you in a band in high school?

[@swiftlessons]

Oh yeah, several. And we stayed together up until our 30s playing around the Philadelphia area. It’s important for young musicians to find one another.
