If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot) - Guitar Lesson

[@cynthia6389]

Classic . 50 years old, never gets old. Classic

[@tempomi760]

As someone who is still new to the acoustic guitar, I will be playing this in Gordon's honor. May he rest in peace.

[@RealDapperDude]

Beauty! This lesson, I can follow. Mahalo nui loa.

[@therealpatrickstar1]

Such a beautiful song. Underrated for guitar

[@markilsemann950]

I just practiced this for two hours. For a beginner such as myself, it's a great lesson to get used to fingerpicking. The chords are simple, so I can focus mainly on my picking hand. I'm still having trouble matching it with the singing, but hey, I just started. Great lesson, thanks a bunch!

[@RosaAngela_Music]

Nicely done, great tutorial .. R.I.P Gordon Lightfoot 🙏🏽

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Absolutely Well Explained Lightfoot Lesson - Thank You .

[@peterdixon1714]

You’re a brilliant teacher Chris. Love your lessons so clear and precise. You and Justinguitars are the best on KZbin.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Glad you think so!

[@leespivey6444]

Nicely presented - thanks! 🎸

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Glad you liked it!

[@lewisphillips8928]

Such a beautiful song

[@kato64]

I’ve played for years, but am just getting into finger picking. As a Canadian kid in the 70s, I grew up listening to Gordon Lightfoot. I’ve always loved this song, but felt it was beyond my capabilities for years. But this is a fantastic breakdown. Thumbs up, and subscribed.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks so much

[@arottie4097]

W0W!

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Excellent playing, excellent presentation. And the bonus, finally someone who plays without nails, realizing you can get volume and, more importantly, tone without nails or picks. Inspiring channel. Liked and subscribed. Thanks from So.Oregon USA

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot Jeff! Yeah, fingernails are overrated lol. Thanks for liking/subscribing, much appreciated

[@thundercranium]

Nicely done. It's great to see someone like myself who uses the flesh of the thumb and fingers instead of nails or fingerpicks. Looking forward to checking out more of your offerings. Cheers.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Nothing wrong with the flesh. Cheers

[@MyChannel-om3gg]

You sound amazing, thank you! Beautiful Martin 000-18 by the way! 🔥

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks so much!

[@isaiahodell2276]

I have recently started using your videos to practice and learn and you are by far my favorite style. The speed, segmentation, and explanations are amazing. Keep on making these please! Also, it would be cool if you made some anime ones. For me at least haha

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot for the kind words, really pleased that you like my lessons so much.

[@joepetrosky3411]

[@zacharypowell3226]

one of my all-time favorite songs. thanks for making the video!

[@MOAB-UT]

Learn to play it then.

[@francismaloney8775]

Beautiful, thank you 💕🎼👏🇮🇪

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Cheers

[@richardhumby8704]

Find your tuition very helpful, I am committed to mastering fingerstyle guitar. I always find play throughs with vocals good for me, is that possible?

[@jmgalbo1]

It would make the overall presentation of guitar lessons so much better on KZbin if the instruction began by playing through what will actually be taught in that lesson. Some "instructors" (you aren't one of them) execute songs incorrectly. Most of us don’t want interpretations or versions, we want the actual chords, style, and feel of the original composition. You have a good teaching technique - I’m subscribed - Thank you.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks so much. The full lesson is linked in the description and there's a full play through of the song there. Thanks again

[@kevinbodnar448]

Cheers 👍

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

No problem 👍

[@sreshtharoychowdhury747]

Love your lessons! Could you do "Here, there and everywhere" by the Beatles please?

[@thegloobster]

Funnily enough, he already has lol! You should be able to find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5mVp3prgLegmtk Though, I gotta warn you, it's not an easy rendition at all! I suck at those artificial harmonics! They just go so fast and ring so nicely, it's a challenge! Hope you can get though it and play it though, it's an awesome rendition, and there is one bit with less harmonics that sounds friggin' dope my brother man, so yeh, look into that or look at Josh Turner's tutorial or Shutup and Play's tutorial, they really all have different flavors, my favorite being Josh's, but basically this song has been covered a lot, choose the one you like the most because they're all quite different! But yeh, hope this helped man lol, cheers!

[@sreshtharoychowdhury747]

@@thegloobster ah I just saw the video! Thank you so much! I'm bad at artificial harmonics too lol.

[@mfperess]

love the lesson. what type of of capo do you use?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks, sadly I can't remember the make this capo is. I use a whole bunch of various one but I like the G7ths a lot

[@Jeff-mn7cl]

Hello Chris, you are a wonderful guitar player and instructor! I want to purchase. Do I pay for 2 separate tabs? Thank you.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Hi Jeff, thanks for the kind words. When you purchase the TAB you'll get both parts included as one. Thanks a lot

[@martincollins3221]

Fab song, lovely lesson. Can I ask which strings you're using please? 'And if you read between the lines, you'll know that I'm just trying to understand, The feelings that you lack'

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Martin. I generally use D'addarios 12 - 53 phosphor bronze

[@dooweee101]

please do a tutorial of "I won't last a day without you"// carpenters🥺

[@ineedstuff8286]

is that a parlor guitar?

[@andrewgee5667]

R.i.p Gordon

[@g59ras98]

why is the lowest string 6 and the highest one 1, would make sense to flip them lol it’s messing with my brain

[@rolandjgutierrez7737]

Is if you can read my mind a mixlodian fill ????.RocknRollFlat5

[@gregorycarpenter]

Good demo! Why not use your first finger instead of your thumb on the sixth sting F (6 minute mark in the video). Using the thumb looks rather inelegant.

[@aitana_m]

Always love your guitar tutorials, best way to learn, if i may ask, i’d love to learn the song merry christmas mr lawrence, it’s a very beautiful but hard piece, hopefully you check it out, would love to learn it from you❤️

[@douglasmccannpiano]

the outro. falling down is better part

[@His0ka]

Sorry i cant play 2 guitars at the same time:/

[@chris5355]

That was covered in the beginners' class.
