[@MrMelodynelson]

I really love the way you explain.....with important detail and with the (how can I say..) the images on your side! very helpfull...and youre calm, concise and clar. greetting from POrtugal

[@sellmeyoursoul6601]

stones were country geniuses

[@jeffscott2101]

Sensational! Really enjoyed the lesson, now playing what I've been listening to for 40 yrs..! Thank you.

[@ggc196372]

great lesson from an awesome song, nice work, thanks

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

I hear ya Helge. I was just listening to Out Of Our Heads the other day. Brian Jones was awesome on those early Stones albums.

[@mitchelllederman4905]

Excellent lesson on a super song!

[@GaryBook]

Great lesson, so easy to follow. I love the screen text which are so helpful. Much easier to learn in G, I will use the capo after to play it in A after I learn it. Thank you for a great video.

[@JoshK117]

Prob. my favorite and the best video for how to really play SW. Thanks much!

[@dreamwell2020]

George, thank you for your service.

[@jeanconstantineau2443]

Great job George!

[@csanderson7850]

tremendous lesson and a great practice for bass runs in rhyhm playing

[@danielwelch4131]

Explanation is clear and instruction thorough.

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

@belikewater001 Keith and Mick have written some awesome songs. Sweet Virginia's great for harp and guitar. Thanks for suggesting it.

[@ortorave2793]

Great lesson, thank you.

[@FrancescJGarciaiRabella]

Great for my harp progression!!! I'm playing this intro with my harps, one in C and another in G. Thanks a lot!!!

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

@jana9999 Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. Have a great one. Peace, George

[@TheSandwichyum]

@GeorgeGoodmanDotCom you're a good teacher thanks.

[@TedMattison]

GREAT, THANK YOU!!! Love having the harp help!!!

[@MrMontonman]

Just found your site George,What a great lesson thanks

[@MrNonoseis]

You have a great test and ability George !!!! Please keep on the good videos. You are the Guy. Here's Miguel From Brazil

[@keithconner9036]

Great lesson. Thanks

[@HelgeNicholson]

I like that you have mentioned all the members of the band! )) It would have been also great if you had said: "...The Rolling Stones founded by Brian Jones" =))

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

@TheSandwichyum I think the trick would be to start with just the chords. Make sure you can play them and switch quickly to the next chord. Once that's down, work on your strumming to try to get a natural feel. The lesson is intended to give you the basics of the song to allow you to learn it and put together your own version.

[@officialjohnleeandthehooke7190]

Great lesson I’m gonna learn that 👍

[@davidhollen638]

Great guitar work. I'm learning harmonica from your lessons also.

[@jamesa.valencia362]

Thank you George for the lesson.

[@Tsubakiee]

omgosh, i used to know all this but haven't really played in years. It's pretty much what I figured out just by playing along, thanks for sharing

[@thedriverguy]

thanks for the A & G harp words and 2nd fret capo advice

[@jimh9095]

Nice! Thanks, man. I love this song, play it a lot, but I had a couple pieces missing that you fill in for me. Also, thanks for the tip on capo on the 2nd fret to play it in A. You rock! Jim

[@Buceadorable]

Many thanks! Excellent tutorial. Sweet Virginia really lends itself to the solo guitar + harmonica. Finally was able to play it all together today. The syncing of guitar and harmonica took me several hours but I slowed down the video and finally got it, and now it feels like having learned to ride a bike. Got to scrape the $hit right off your shoo--ooh-ooh-oohs!

[@zmattman1]

Awesome help ! love this tune !! Thanks ! PEACE

[@camdenminer2033]

well done, not easy to play harmonica and guitar at the same time

[@jana9999]

So glad I discovered you. Excellent instruction and talent. Thank you so much.

[@caseyskarma6210]

Cool, a great song and fun to play.

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

I just pulled out my Exile on Main Street album and the liner notes are crediting Ian Stewart with the piano on that one. No doubt Nicky Hopkins is all over the album though

[@Rouladenbob]

Thanks a lot, George. Very good work.

[@donnyc55]

Fantastic as usual George...thank you.

[@rpashoukos]

Perfect, I was just going to make up a lesson for this and figured someone else may have already did it. I thought you did a great tutorial for both guitar and harmonica, and explaining about the key change. Nicer bass runs in G to be sure.

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

@345tennis I'll have to add this to my list. I've got a few requests before this but I'll try to get to it soon

[@johnpyle1022]

You should watch Knives Out, not only because this song is at the end but because it’s an amazing movie!

[@Nednik4324]

[@kharkhov]

Thanks for posting this. Made everything a lot clearer for me. Easy to follow and delivered at an understandable pace :)

[@bonno666]

Great tutorial. Helped me a lot, but i have a question. Is it possible that the last D in the refrain is a D7 ?

[@lu77xiaojun37]

Thanks alot, you made me day!!!

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

@dadyeve glad you liked it

[@The69ersFC]

great vid - really easy to follow ! What is the second hammer-on you do towards the end of the intro?

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

I will. and you're welcome. Cheers, George

[@Nicalv]

It's a beautiful song, I'm trying to learn it...thank you=)

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

You're welcome. Good luck and have fun

[@niczim123]

George Goodman That was awesome. How about 'Dead Flowers' not the stones version though, the original Townes Van Zant version!? Would love to learn that one!

[@evanmorrow3333]

Townes Van Zant did the original? It sounds incongruous. How old would he have been at the time?

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

Thanks Don

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

@wynorton You're welcome. Thank you

[@40GuitarPlayer]

Very useful. thanks.

[@rogerbunkholt7753]

Thank you, awesome job, trying to figure out the brain challenge on playing both instruments at the same time..... ah.... I can only do one or the other, but I am not worthy, but I guess practice makes perfect !

[@dfortis68]

Great!!! thank you !!!!

[@perrysar5954]

Thanks!...you say you're playing a G harp,shouldn't you be blowing a C harp if the song is the key of G?

[@miguelsoto3707]

Thank you for great lesson. does anyone know what key keith plays this in during live shows? Does he switch to standard?

[@greadigaeth]

Brilliant lesson - thanks so much!!

[@Ademarco9003]

great job

[@GeorgeGoodmanMusic]

@SUNNYRHOADES9 Man, that's some great playing. Doing a lesson on Little Walter would take a whole series of videos and I would really have to get my chops together. It would sure make for a good exercise though.

[@marklphillips3085]
