Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

[@abczyx9755]

Watching a 11 year old tutorial for a 30 year old song made by an artist who's around 70 now... This is how eternal good music really is

[@Laurenz1NDownUnder]

tears in heaven :D

[@jdpazmino2010]

Now its 13!

[@jjjiann4445]

I am 15 watching this but I know this song when I am 13-14

[@funkonabarbie]

I've been watching your guitar lessons for specific songs since I was 10 and I'd just like to say that you are by far the best guitar teacher I have found online in the last 16 years. Thank you for spreading your passion for guitar to the world! It has been very appreciated

[@ramencafe1]

true 🐔🤖🎸

[@terryoliver9471]

JUSTIN you're a star. simply the most accessible and informative lessons online. thank you.

[@malcolmlobo5291]

This video still holds up after 15 years. Great work Justin!

[@moondancer.n.8334]

Justin-you have taught me so very much...I am so thankful for you, your talents & for all you do.

[@cpustat2199]

After more than 2 years of learning lessons and songs from you I still aske the same question!!! How do you do it so beautifully Justin? Love you man!!

[@kevinmay1903]

This is a very helpful lesson video. One of my mates' dad has just passed away and he asked me if i could play this with him singing. I didnt know a thing about this song, and i learned it in a little time thank to this lesson. Really thankful, mate. :D

[@shaymckayTV]

It was probably the best feeling ever when I completed the intro!! I was so happy. :) haha.

[@jaw444]

thanks for this lesson, i learned to play this song about 15years ago, haven't thought of it or played it in a couple of lifetimes, tried to play it last night after watching the Clapton unplugged video on you tube, haven't even thought of this song in years. Then i thought, hey, i used to play that! I had completely forgotten--it's a good song to play. So i started trying to figure out how i used to play it, finding that i remembered some parts and not others. It was late so i was going to get back to it today after sleeping, thinking "I can figure this out," but anticipating some amount of struggle and frustration with it. Then i thought, "Hey!! You Tube!!", searched Tears in Heaven Lesson, and there was your video. Great. Actually a couple of parts that you didn't show close up,i still need to work on, but it all comes back now, and i like some inversions you used better than what i used to use, it has the feel of the original. The main reason i wanted to post a message is to say i loved your vocal, guitar too of course, but i think you sing it really well, moving but not overdone, real.

[@chaslangavinlinks7828]

Man,you are an awesome teacher!!! I really would like to play this song.Reminds me of my Grandfather.He was a legend in Acoustic Guitar...passed away 2 years and today is his birthday.THANKS JUSTIN!

[@lzinlc9005]

This is the first online guitar tutorial I've seen that shows not only the left hand for chord fingering, but also the right hand for the strumming. I can't wait to get to work on this song. Thank you for this wonderful lesson.

[@mariacorreynamarimutoc9178]

for those who are complaining about the verse. you should check out guitarlessons365songs tears in heaven tutorial. justin's and that tutorial, complement well. justin has more accurate chords (left hand), from eric clapton's version and that guitarlessons365songs really explained the verse and the right hand, what string to pick. hope it helps. 😁😁😁 thank you justin.

[@Jay-ft3xh]

Man oh man. I remember when your website was basic html. So happy to see you still teaching and strumming. Thanks Justin

[@carmichaelits]

I learned this very song from this very video possibly 15 years ago on a £10 classical guitar I bought from a car boot sale. I still have the guitar, and I can still play the song.

[@tommfranklin]

For me, the most remarkable thing about your lessons is that you truly make me believe I can play these songs as well as I've always wished I could. Thank you.

[@MegaNavek]

Justin is an excellent teacher....watch and learn he does it all brilliantly..

[@ramir332]

My brain just exploded from overload.. I swear you folks who play guitars (even so the acoustic ones) are inspiring... man. I'm trying to learn any song and its so frustrating and hard. :(

[@Adr1an94]

Keep practicing man

[@perp603]

You are not alone

[@turtletwi]

this isn't a beginner song. its complex. focus on much easier songs that strum not pick then after you get more and more time with various songs come back and try this again.

[@beejblud]

well 9 months later have you done it yet ???

[@DjFulcrum]

1. Try reading (simple) tabs bro something like those of Nirvana (The Man Who Sold The World and Come As You Are) and then work your way to that of Jimi Hendrix or The Beatles (particularly the songs that use a guitar solo from the chorus such as Here Comes The Sun) 2. Practice, practice. Do simple finger-stretching exercises after each session. Simple habits like fist-clenching, finger-twisting can do the trick. You can improve your dexterity by playing piano too. 3. Don't lose hope. Not yet. Good luck and Happy Birthday to John Lennon :)

[@jawmalawmnz]

I've been playing this for ages with the wrong chords thankyou for the tutorial it is greatly appreciated

[@butchoy8701]

Thank you Justin for sharing this lesson. I can now play the entire song and it means a lot to me as this song is dedicated to my Father.

[@watsonvillian]

This song has been great for improving and learning fingerstyle. This one and the boxer from your acoustic book have helped me learn a great deal in less than four months time. Thank you!!!

[@Orpheusgiv]

You made me start playing again, after years of having guitar(s) in cases.Stumbles up on your stuff on You Tube I had NO idea people like you were doing this. Best teacher on the web. Love your just like the record songs. Keep it up and lets all donate.

[@keithmockridge3329]

Without a doubt a classic friendly informative patient teacher. Justin you are de biz man. You have shown me tricks that you don't find in song books. So from one of your most admiring mature students. Keep on rockin' in the free world. KEITH FROM LUTON BEDFORDSHIRE UK.

[@bluestilling101]

Man, Justin you really simplify things that sound difficult. Thank you for your post.

[@MrNguyenquangdao]

Thank you Justin, I had trouble keeping the beat right at the intro but after watching this 20 times plus, I was able to make it right.

[@UnclaimedPants1]

He close ups are really really useful and I needed one for the last bit you taught. Everything else I nailed in about 1 hour (just a beginner guys )

[@thomaspowell9405]

wanted to say thanks! your an awesome teacher and teaching me to play song ive ALWAYS wanted to be able to

[@RoadKing21-e1p]

I have an Eric Clapton Unplugged guitar book you make it so much easier I used to know how to read music its hard to remember when you don't use it everyday, thank you for this wonderful video

[@subhrendugupta4125]

Thankuuuu so muchhhhh Justin,I have fully learned this songs and all this was possible because of your lessons,thankuuuuu

[@sasquach3414]

[@aledellepiane]

Thank you Justin, your lessons are always fabulous!!!

[@Derstevemeister]

Hi, I think Justin is one of the best or even the best online teacher!!!! Thank you very much for this awesome teaching!

[@tomatencio8441]

I am a big fan of your lessons but this one blew me away. You always do a partial cover at the beginning but this time I wish you had covered the whole song before starting the lesson. Your cover is incredible!!

[@posttoamitsharma]

Best teacher i have seen by a long way...learned a few songs from u buddy..thanks and keep up the good work

[@cyaneyes1]

Your lesson is awesome I tried a couple of other online lessons for this song and yours is spot on and the best Thanks so much for the help

[@farechase]

this is one of the first songs i've learned but i learned from tabs and i dont play it exactly right so thanks for showing us the way clapton plays it, im going to learn the right way rite now.

[@guitgeo]

Thank you for your time and lucid instructions. Can't tell you enough how important you are to me and all guitar students !!

[@adriandrake4208]

Justin, just to thank you so much for your clear and well prepared lessons. I didn't learn when I was young sadly, but I 'm so determined to learn...with your help! Adrian

[@Mrjimmybuckets24]

Your tutorial of this song has been the easiest to follow. Thank you.

[@billybee99]

Justin, I just want to thank you for your lessons - they are fantastic. You explain everything so well and break things down in a way that is easy to understand. Cheers, Mate!!!

[@Jimboz0]

simply amazing, you are my GOD, I decided that i wanted to learn this song just a couple of minutes ago and the first thing that came to me was, hey I hope justin have done a lesson for this song and there it is! so great. keep rocking!

[@roslee7]

[@viddijan5065]

thanks man i have just learn classical guitar for about 8-9 months 2 hours in month and now i can play this song and my guitar teacher was total surprised wen i play'd tears in heaven for him :D

[@pbziegler]

Been working with lots of You Tube lessons on this song. I've learned so much from Justin I don't know why I didn't just learn from this one. Finally got the first part. That thumb makes that one chord so easy.

[@robgillan7267]

ah well im glad im not the only one! Thanks for your lessons Justin, ive found you to be the best teacher on youtube. I couldn't follow the end of this one though, the zoom would have been really handy. Peace

[@yyzrsw]

I have been viewing lessons on line for some time and you are great!!!! So easy to understand Thanks a lot

[@MrTyurikov]

Perfect harmony and playing

[@TSRGrashopr]

Justin, THANK YOU. I have been working on this song from tabs for a couple weeks now, and your finger locations really cleared a lot of things up for me. As usual, your teaching style and information are top notch! THANK YOU!!

[@jealynvillaresis4615]

Wow so beautiful song ..Iove it..FRTV

[@neil2381]

HUGE THANKS! The best guitar lesson to date, this the clearest explanation of this song I have come across on youtube. You have set the bar very high for online guitar lessons. Excellent 5 stars from me.

[@markstringer24]

Man i so appreciate your lessons. You're the guy to go to every time.

[@angelosettimi195]

Ottima lezione !!! Anche se non capisco l'inglese . Grazie e complimenti ancora,molto bravo....👍

[@Crankhead101]

[@giorgos1550]

He is a very good teacher and very good as a person😊

[@OBFUSKALODIAN3]

The best guitar lesson of all time......

[@indacinga]

Dude, i love your lessons and really appreciate the teaching. i am a guitar newbie and this is an incredible help. i would love to check out your website, but i can never get on. im sure it is because a gillion people are trying to get on it. just wanted to make sure you knew that it was always down. thanks again for all the lessons

[@SimplyDanuzzz]

... I can not thank you enough for such a brilliant tutorial, I can finally play this song !!! ....

[@tutonis]

Briliant! ive been watcing alot of ur videos. even thou im begginer at guitar and cant play everything u teach, i enjoy every one of it. keep it up!

[@tomatencio8441]

I am an avid student of your videos but this is the only time I have ever made a request from you or the others I sometimes watch. Seeing you play this song was incredible. My request? Will you consider playing and singing the whole song on a near future post. You covered it beautifully!!

[@JaspersenVermeer]

Great lesson Justin as always. One remark: in the last chord of the verse Clapton holds the ringfinger on the D string 4th fret. So Bm7 grip of the previous chord is retained and the B note (A string / 2nd fret) is replaced by E (open 6th string). B string is not used.(E11 chord) Of course the E7sus4 like Justin plays it is ok too. But I do like the original chord like Clapton plays it best.

[@rosiecalleja1621]

Im so glad that i found your channel i learned a lot about this song thx so much!

[@mcriderkaw]

Thanks Justin... This is great. I have studied it (without my guitar) and can not wait to get home to butcher it (I mean try to play it...) You make it look so easy. Adding the vocals over the melodic finger picking is going to be an extra challenge.

[@MattSynysterRx20]

oh boy i also cannot wait to butcher this song on my guitar

[@pacificnwboy]

I am just learning to play guitar and used this video to learn this, one of my favorite songs ever. I posted the video to youtube yesterday and although rough, is only possible because of this video. Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial! JSK
