Buckets of Rain - Bob Dylan Guitar Lesson (with tabs!)

[@dennishill4575]

Your teaching style is fantastic. Buckets of class.

[@asmt5431]

Amazing work. My fingers cramped up just watching you

[@patrickryan5508]

I've wanted to learn this but had never figured out the tuning. I just got the tab and I'm setting my mind to learning it. Thank you, really enjoy your guitar playing.

[@joelzdepski9884]

Excellent lesson. The 2 best versions of this song out there are your fingerpicking version and Sully Tuttle's flatpicking version. As for a lesson, I would love to see you take one of your Reina del Cid covers and then do a lesson on your arrangement. What you select for the backing to the vocals, and then how you arrange your solo over that for the break. KZbin has no-one doing that kind of a lesson (and I know it quadruples the work), and any of the Sunday Morning covers could be great fodder for such a lesson. It would be a song us bangers might play with friends, and would give use a roadmap to playing something way more interesting than all strumming the same thing.

[@ToniLindgren]

Oh man, thanks for the thoughtful comment and suggestion - this is great and definitely something I'm planning on doing!

[@gillygil8747]

@@ToniLindgren I keep putting plus on the thumbs up. I come back to the page along a thread and my thumbs up shows not to have recorded. Che cosa? (Italian)

[@jhh113]

Wonder what guitar she is playing......anyone know?

[@joelzdepski9884]

​@@jhh113 Luca Zerrilli. I think she actually went to Italy w/o a guitar and picked it up on the beginning of a tour. She talks about it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZq4oameipeejrc

Love Sully Tuttle's flatpicking!

[@mccafferyfamily]

This cover is so good, could listen to you do entire Dylan cover album … great songs but sound even better when you perform them ! There is a beauty in the simplicity of a sweet voice and fantastic sounding acoustic guitar …

[@grltn8855]

This is one of the best lessons I've seen for this song. Your presentation is great as is your arrangement. Thank you.

[@johanneskeil]

Being a Dylan fan for years I really do appreciate your lesson. Thanks a lot!

[@SawmillerSmith]

Haven't played in decades. This has me wanting to learn this song.

[@IssamUAhmed]

Best lesson for this song I've seen. The pacing is just right -- focused on the hard bits without going on too much about the easy bits and making the video too long -- and the fact you broke down the structure logically rather than going through 7 pages of sheet music for no good reason, is much appreciated. You're a great teacher

[@pronan]

So good. Both your playing and the lesson. Heard you sing this yesterday in the van and so glad you put this lesson out there. One of my favorite songs. This gives me the courage to try to chop out a version.

[@dtchinacat3973]

One of my favorite songs!

[@billcharles9998]

I worked out a simpler version in a D tuning but when I heard your rendition it sounded so much better I knew I had to start over. Thanks for the very effective lesson, and PLEASE continue to put out solo tracks. I love what you do with Reina, Josh and Carson, but you are a wonderful vocalist (in addition to being a guitar virtuoso) and I sure would like much more of it. BTW, I really, really loved the instrumental coda you added to your video performance of this song on Reina's channel.

[@charlesbreaux5475]

ditto

[@buskerbo9658]

Wow... this sound so cool and is exactly my style. Never heard this song before, I think. Thanks a lot for the tutorial and all the best from Germany 👍🙂

[@tonyseeger2009]

Exceptional tuition , really easy to follow and understand .Greatjob, thanks.

[@jeffreyjablowicz1200]

I can't play, or carry a tune in a bucket. I love listening, I liked, subscribed to give support. Toni is so cool, love to hear her play. Keep up the great work!

[@h2_kumar]

A brilliant guitarist, and a brilliant teacher. Thank you, Toni. You are amazing!

[@GhostontheMoor]

Thanks, Toni, that was great. A clear and structured explanation of how to play this song. I know lots of work went into this video. Much appreciated.

[@ray.pittssongwriter6544]

You are absolutely GREAT .. I learned You've Got a Friend from you, now this one , Oh sure Ill be brain dead by the time I get these little tricky moves down, but its not that far of a journey, ha ha .. and just watching your skills on guitar is worth every minute I enjoy these videos .. thanks so much

[@lw216316]

Wonderful ! In the full video from 3:07 - 3:12 there is this wonderful guitar part not covered in this lesson. I had never heard this Dylan song before so I listened to it and I definitely like Toni's version better.... a personal preference so no hate responses please.

[@soundlimit300]

Your performance of this song in the back of the van was magical Toni.Cheers from Tasmania.

[@benjaminblakely3421]

Thanks Toni! This is just what I was looking for after listening to your version yesterday

[@vtwin2006]

Thank you Toni , this is a wonderful gift! Also I simply love your rendition of this song in the original video

[@patrickingalls5954]

Beautiful! Thankyou for the great breakdown and the tuning explanation. Keep the videos coming!

[@annamiau8116]

Just heard Mayers cover and well what can I say. Yours is superior in every way :D

[@BobTaile]

There are many guitar lessons on YT with excellent tutors. Toni is so humble and at the same time a 100 times clearer. Toni's quiet, easy, concise style of tuition mirrors her playing whatever the genre. I just wish I had a guitar. Thanks Toni. Guitar or not I'm subscribed and going to follow your lessons - but not on my ukulele!

[@trackie1957]

You can use your ukulele. It’s just a guitar minus the two lowest strings with a capo at the 5th fret. You can use the exact same chord shapes she uses, you’ll just be in a different key.

[@BobTaile]

@@trackie1957 Thank you. I'm trying it and hope to succeed

[@dannyhart4210]

What an awesome lesson thank you so much!!

[@chinto50]

OH wow.. just found this.. I love this and have been working it for a few years. Thank you thank you.

[@gillygil8747]

The epiphany was adorable. The clouds parted, the sun shined through and the angels sang. Precious lady, I just watch these to see you again. I do sometimes play along with the appropriate harmonica. Philadelphia loves you! I especially enjoyed your version from Alaska. You finished schweetly and the camera panned out of the bus' back window. What part of Alaska was that? Thank you for sharing your great love of music and each other. These are the days of your lives. Cherish them. No requests from this man. Everything you do is just fine with me. Oooooh, then Toni smiled.

[@deannilvalli6579]

The start is very informative and useful. A well-organised and useful lesson. I look forward ot playing this! In the back of a van in the woods, preferably.

[@jtoddbrown]

Thanks so much for doing this! I love your rendition of the song - such a nice surprise to get a lesson as well.

[@scottharvey6892]

Thanks for the information and tips on the strings and tension and structural damage and capo trick!!

[@68tri1]

Great lesson. Thank you.

[@hemkarki6328]

Please do more of these lesson, once a week would be great.

[@Raymond-rr5iv]

This is the sixth version of buckets of rain that I listened to it and l like your version the best 💯🥰👍🇺🇸 !!! Thank you ❤🙏.

[@bobekstam1164]

Excellent and well taught lesson! Thanks Toni!

[@maxben1720]

Very noice! Thank you! Some juggling definitely needed

[@daurye92]

Thanks for the great lesson! I like that little variation with the A-string. Now I only have to figure out that lovely ending in your cover.

[@Metalokorozija]

Thanks for stepping into the lesson today.

Sounded great,it’s a pleasure to listen to you

[@untzuntz617]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Would never have tried dropping the A string back to A to get the A root 🥰

[@imannonymous7707]

Yea me either but it makes a great bass pedal....big difference for vocal aomompaniment

[@LittleDaveGuitar]

Thanks for this.. Loved the extra little bit you put into the original video towards the end.. Great player

[@reliablebow]

Love to hear you play🎶✨

[@herrp8765]

Man, I love listening to Toni play. But once she starts tuning her guitar past its "natural state," I'm just a casual onlooker. Way ahead of my lame skillset. :) 😃

[@addisonwall5548]

Thanks for the lesson! One of my favourite Dylan tunes

[@stevelongariello9079]

You are an excellent teacher.

[@jashilsdonmusic]

Erudite, Toni. I am familiar with several open tunings. But when I heard this piece by Dylan back in the 70's, I figured it could be done with straight tuning. Figured it out and have always played it that way. Might not please those of you who know better, but I gotta tell you, it sounds pretty darn good in regular tuning as well. But good on you for being of the current generation and for being moved by Dylan. This somehow gives me hope. God bless. Keep up the good work.

[@wimdeboer8790]

very nice Toni, big thanks for doing this "as slowly as possible" ;-). I'm not sure if you do requests, but I'd really love you to do "never going back again" by fleetwood mac in a similar video and tutorial.

[@mseudaimonia5917]

Toni I second the request to post how you did the ending the little instrumental outro was fantastic and icing on the cake to your sweet song here

[@Sweepdog700]

I just learned this, it’s great. Thought I was finished then I saw you play it elsewhere with an amazing ending. Please please can you show us this it sounds fantastic. I would be very appreciative if you can Toni.

[@h1pst3r88]

This lesson is a gift -- as was your van performance! Wonderful!! Thank you!!

[@Redbelt1]

HA!! Thank you for making this doable!! Fantastic!

[@cleanriver2]

So much better than zooming in on videos of you and Reina, trying to figure out where your fingers are! You are a great teacher, Toni, and your music is...well, it's beyond words. Plus, I want to echo Joel who suggested teaching a Sunday arrangement. Would love that! (Jambalaya??!)

[@DeclanTKatt]

Very thoughtful tutorial. Thank you!

[@crainegroup]

Thank you! So helpful. Great lesson 👍😎and your version in the van is fantastic

[@92blckt]

Toni im your fan, for real!!!!

[@IanJudge]

Imagine all the novice guitar players out there who are so lucky to not only be inspired by you, but to get this fab lesson.

[@db5145]

And imagine how many have been playing for years who have never played anything in an open tuning until recently! Inspired? - Very Much! Awesome instructional video! Fantastic instructor!!

[@michaelsloan3179]

Agree it's a great lesson, but probably not the right song for a novice to try to tackle.

[@jeffparker2352]

A great lesson and arrangement indeed. Not sure what novice is going to be playing this though so I don’t understand your comment. I’m not a novice, and I find this challenging enough.

[@josephsax1682]

All she did was put up tabs and tell how much tension changes during a changed tuning. Nothing here at all about the pinching techniques required for the actual play. Poor lesson

[@sdtangler]

@@josephsax1682 wow. Please post a link to your spectacular approach. Yeah, that's what I thought.

[@donaldneumeyer4423]

Well done teaching this beautiful song!

[@GrandStudable]

what a wonderful arrangement, what a wonderful lesson!! thank you so much!!

[@davereichert]

Thanks so much for this. I've just recently started to get the hang of fingerstyle playing and this is a great lesson. That descending line is quite the thing to make the fingers do rapidly. Gotta train up the muscle memory a bit more, I guess!

[@dexumekubo4928]

Toni, I am sure you have thousands of fans out here in internet land, but I wanted you to know I am one of them! God Bless You. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us!

[@ApanKoro]

Wonderful! I finally managed to learn this song AND sing it thanks to this video! Another video I would personally love to see is I Was Young When I Left Home, however it is also by Bob Dylan. Can't find anyone who made a tutorial for that yet. The version on the No Direction Home Soundtrack album. Probably won't happen, but if you would for some reason see this and feel like it could be fun I'd be more than delighted!

[@jcrow62]

Toni! Didn’t know you had you’re own channel. I think you’re an amazing musician as both a guitar player and singer. And wow, you also teach us ? Amazing! Thank you!

[@L.AshDoe]

Super tuto ! Merci beaucoup 😊

[@himmelblau66]

you are the greatest !!!

[@marknicholson5508]

Thank you Toni. I was playing this in open D, just bouncing between the two D strings throughout. Your insight on dropping the fifth string back to G was spot-on. (Toni does it in Open E, so she drops the fifth to A) It sounds so much better with this when the tune shifts to A, and I always thought that I needed a bass player to get the right sound there. Thanks again!
