Justin, how long did it take you to learn that first full riff at the beginning of the song? It would be really useful for me to know that since it is proving a nightmare for me and I can see it taking me weeks if not months to get it right and up to speed. Thanks.

There seems to be a mistake in the tab in section 4, when going to the E. It sounds and looks as though strings 1 through 4 should be played, not just 2 through 4. But still a great lesson and much appreciated.

Justin, you unravel the mysteries of life/music. Then you said Solsbury Hill's in 7/4 a huge light went on for me. That's what keeps the song rolling. Then you explain the 3 - 4 and 4 - 3 counting groups which is the secret sauce. My other revelation came from Grateful Dead's Estimated Prophet, in 7/4, thanks to Michael Palmisano. Now I have another song to practice the 7/4 count. Thank you.

Within a few minutes I was right back to listening to Justin give his tutorial. lol! Of course I couldnt even watch the video much less practice it.. but I love listening to how Justin lays it out! My moment of venting here.... I used to be so good at finger picking as a kid when I was taking lessons after lessons after lessons.. 43yo now and have had some good strides getting back into playing here and there! .. at any rate.. great video and once again JG has captured my attention yet again! :)
