"Tin Man" by America: 365 Riffs For Beginning Guitar !!

[@hepgeoff]

Great lesson, thanks! Beautiful Taylor guitar, too. I struggle with that Gmaj7 chord because I have short fingers and it's difficult to stretch that far.

[@MelodyMaker]

LOL. Finally someone who know how to play this.

[@joesmo6962]

I love this Song! I hope someday with your help I can master it.

[@DanA-bw7rh]

Excellent tutorial! Got me to the next level on my journey.

[@rockinvida1960]

Really effective teaching….well done sir!

[@JuniorTennis]

In the chorus you have two dashes (--) every third strum, usually indicating a pause, unlike the verse which is one dash (-) throughout the entire strumming sequence, which would indicate no pauses in your strumming. But, it sounds like you're playing the same rhythm in the verse and chorus, are you not? is it because of the number 10 having two digits that you did this? If so it introduces a bit of confusion because dashes in tabulation are not just for separation, they indicate musical timing.

[@jkehew1]

Hi Brett, thanks for watching! I'm happy to clarify. Those dashes are really supposed to be solid lines representing the guitar strings (the TAB method of notating guitar music.) The dashes do NOT represent any sort of pause. I hope that helps! Please check out my other learning material at my website www.song-bike.com. PDFs, books, e-books & videos!

[@JuniorTennis]

@@jkehew1 Thanks so much for the reply and the easy to understand lesson for this song. I was quikly able to jump into the song due to your lesson. I am not sure if your response to my question is strictly about the way you used the spacing or you're making a universal statement but in the opinion of many different websites including Fender, spacing in tab (usually created by dashes) indicate rhythm, though not perfectly. I understand that there is no universally accepted tab structure but i thought it important to note that more dashes for a lot of people does communicate differences in timing.

[@jkehew1]

Thanks Brett - no one's mentioned that before.

[@tammejohnson6885]

Awesome,Tutorial. Thank.u!

[@jkehew1]

Thanks Tamme! By the way, I have a new book out, The Strum Pattern Bible. Here's a KZbin video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rniZqaaXbth-n6c And you can get it at: www.song-bike.com - Jonathan

[@sapelesteve]

Good lesson! I was waiting for this one. Not that I will ever be able to play it but at least now I can give it a try. Thanks for posting...............Steve

[@jkehew1]

You can do it, SS ! Slowly at first ....

[@Clawhammers12]

I like the way that you show how to play this song without over complicating everything. It does take getting used to but you have simplified this. Thank you

Hard Chords but accurate I think!

[@adolfovelazquez1881]

Hasta la fecha no he conocido publicación alguna que toquen la canción completa con el punteo del inicio. Nadie lo conoce. Yo lo conozco porque en 1.975 lo aprendí a tocar con el disco en mis manos.... What happen?????

[@jkehew1]

Hi Adolfo, It sounds like you've been playing this song for a long time. I hope my video helped. It sounds like you would like to see the entire song written out in a book. I hope you find it!

[@nfn16076]

what about the bridge? When i say im spinning round ...thanks ;)

[@jkehew1]

Hi, nfn! I'm so sorry I left that out ! It's a Gmaj7 going to a Cmaj7. The Gmaj7 is the same one we've been doing, based on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th frets. But after watching a video of America performing the song live, it looks like the Cmaj7 is fingered as follows: --3---index---- --5---pinky---- --4---middle-- --5---ring------ ------------------- ------------------- Hope that helps! By the way, I wrote an e-book that goes along with the DCG Trick video: www.fatfreecartpro.com/i/yuut?card And I have a free follow-up video that goes along with the DCG Trick on the homepage of my website: www.song-bike.com And I have 2 more e-books written for beginners: www.fatfreecartpro.com/i/z117?card www.fatfreecartpro.com/i/z6ys?card My KZbin channel is here: kzbin.info Stay healthy and musical, Jonathan

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

you haven't posted for a while are you focusing on other stuff that KZbin other games and monetization and nonsense?? or is it just busy out in the Northeast with the guitar shopping volunteer firefighting.. I also just out of curiosity when you get to that little when I say I'm spinning round round round is that using those same chords or is there another set of chords that go in there

[@jkehew1]

Hey TKTPT, working on a series of guitar books. Hopefully the first one will be out this summer ! I'll have to get back to you regarding the part of the song you're asking about.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

@@jkehew1 oh that's fine no problem I actually kind of figured it out it just repeats itself once you get the main chords..good to see you're doing all right😃
