Tom Petty "Learning to Fly" Easy Rhythm & Slide Guitar Lesson

[@5stardetailingllc471]

Thank you for singing, while teaching others to play the guitar chords. It adds so much, and it encourages others to live a little and sing too. Great song writers like Petty somehow allow us to share in their genius in this surreal way….and your interpretation just proves that.

[@billcharles9998]

THIS ISTHE BEST tutorial on Learning to Fly! I am particularly grateful for the slide portion. I am 78 years old and even I can understand and do all of this, although not quite so well as you. Thanks so much!

[@johnz6528]

The tone of your voice is just amazing ! Very impressive as well as your guitar skills and your teaching approach.

[@guitarsam3670]

[@xDirtyDeedx]

My dude... You're really good man.. Damn good picker and singer!

[@studioburnop]

Great lesson clearly explained and covers all aspects of the song for guitar. It's especially good to have the melody lines and solo tabs which are so helpful. I look forward to more song lessons.

[@JL-fs9wh]

A great lesson. You are a very gifted teacher.

[@leszekterczynski4149]

[@lueezec358]

I was so pleased to see you have covered this song for beginners! You do make guitar lessons easier for beginners. Thankyou!!

[@FusionKush]

Dam he has a good voice! Great video dude!!!

[@alwilkins641]

What a comprehensive look at the various components of this beautiful song...fantastic lesson; love your style!

[@charlierussell7887]

Hi Rob, this is a most helpful and enjoyable lesson. Good to hear you counting it out, rather than the DUDUs - as you did on “Wildflowers”. Bravo!

[@zachfree6126]

Thank you, Rob. Always a big pleasure to watch your videos, you make learning guitar fun and your knowledge is vast and skills sublime.

[@Franswa]

Wow beautiful performance !!! Now I want to learn it 👍

[@Highmanebro]

wow bro thank you!...im trying to fix my bad habits I picked up early on. For example I think ive learnd the G chord all wrong. For some reason I always use my index for the A string and middle for low E. Now I realize the error of my ways by not using my middle and ring finger for the bass strings so i can keep my index ina better position for this transition. Simple chord progression really but super fun and easy to jam over. I know what I need to practice now lol

[@Elleon12]

This song hits home for us all. I needed to learn this

[@martinwestbeek2416]

Great demo - plenty to keep me busy for a good while! Thanks!

[@Sweepdog700]

Can you do a solo without the slide? Geared more towards the acoustic.

[@fabricebazire9189]

[@systecosrl8690]

Estimado amigo excelente tutorial , gracias por tu tiempo.

[@zachfree6126]

Thank you, Rob. Another great lesson.

[@Abdou3406]

Thanks Rob for this lesson

[@ArmaGuyz]

I originally learned this as a very beginner song from Marty Shwartz with a simple switch from C and I think it was F Sharp by a small move of the same shape up a chord. This version sounds more full but I have to admit I was having hell with the 2010 101 part the first half was easy the 2nd was harder for me. I played it as slow as I could for a few mins but cramps burning and thats a wrap for me Ill try again in a for days.

[@jerryhughes4256]

Awesome lesson. Thank you!

[@albertstone7905]

This was an amazing lesson! Thanks for making it so easy to learn! I was just wondering if you could tell us where the tone/volume settings were during the electric guitar parts? Thanks!

Can you please do a lesson on Blue Moon nights by John Fogerty with lead runs ?

[@TMoody]

Awesome.... thank you!!

[@severomagiusto4737]

Very informative video, I immediately bookmarked it for future reference. I have a question about the electric guitar part starting at 0:43. What effects did Campbell use to get that smooth, round, and flangering sound you hear in the record? Thanks a lot!

[@richiebee9]

Great video...thanks!!!

[@ElcanaldeReyesManuel]

I believe the old ribbon mics are the best

[@terryhunter2526]

Tom also use those open chords in swingin

[@NoName-qo8el]

Can you use some more reverb?

[@swiftlessons]

Nope, that’s all of it…

[@mrebysan]

Oooooohhhh. It's a suicide song. Never knew that till now. Great lesson

[@397coney7]

Hmm, I’ve never thought of it as a suicide song. Songs are up for interpretation though. This is a quotation from Petty, about the song; "I think i was coming to grips with the view that you can be optimistic, hopeful and as good a person as you want to be, but its not going to make life simple for you. Nothing will. You can have all the success you want and its not going to make your life-really your personal life-much easier than anyone else's. The song was also influenced by the Gulf War. It was written during the time the war was breaking out, everything was very grey, and there were burning oceans and oil fires. I was disappointed by the war and the attitude of the American people. I certainly didn't blame the soldiers for going there, but I felt that few people wanted to challenge the Bush administration on its lies. It was a bad time and I really think it influenced the tone of the album” ~T.Petty

[@getoffmylawn-hf4dn]

Looks and sounds like Jesus
