Tutorial: Greensleeves - Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson w/ TAB

[@reginasamo197]

I have just learned "Greensleves" with your easy instructions. Thank you so very much. Please keep teaching in the easy way these nice melodies.

[@LickNRiff]

Darn, that's probably the best compliment I've ever received on this channel. Thank you so much

[@vasile12321]

I got an advice. i personaly hate when somone is posting a tutorial and doesnt play it before they're trying to explain. i sometime watch 15 minutes of a video to realise it doesnt even sound like i want. In conclusion i think that you should play it at the beging of the video. thanks

[@SexyAlien2]

I have to agree with ovidiu simionescu, I like to hear the song before I dive into the lesson. It gives me more autonomy and liberty in my learning because I know where the lesson is going.

[@Aluminata]

That makes sense - but this is only an 8 minute vid and shows multiple variants.

[@MK-rc5ow]

dude same

[@TheJacklwilliams]

Agreed wholeheartedly and good constructive criticism is positive. First, play the song through. Then, give me the facts, especially on a classic like this (aka composer, time period, key it is played in, length of song). Any relevant facts to set up the lesson. Next, break the song up, explain the chord changes, fingerings and transitions. All of this, leads to a better experience for the student.

[@RByrne]

Yeah i think so too. I find if i can hear it in my head when learning it Ill generally get a decent approximation of it in a few tries. If i im just trying to piece it together it takes far longer.

[@DistortedIlluminatis]

Im actually a direct descendant from King HenryVIII and theirs been disputes on if he created this song for his last wife when he proposed to her. Its a crazy thought that one of my ancestors could have created this delightful song, I really enjoy your classical guitar playing to it. I wish you could here my music and my interpretation of this song aswell. Kudos

[@gerardofernandez4706]

One of the best free and beginner friendly guitar tutorial on youtube...

[@georgio2]

Natural born teacher. You make everything easy.

[@wesleyreed3534]

i really like and appreciate how you name and show the chords that the notes are coming out of. this really helps me understand what's going on and makes it much simpler to learn. Thank You

[@lazerkate]

I really enjoyed following this tutorial - love your style. As an eternal-begginner I got playing within an hour or two which is very satisfying. I had to figure out some of the right-hand picking as you don't mention it, but the breakdown of the song really helped to conquer it. Thanks!

[@kristapage4384]

Great lesson, I am a beginner (less than 6 months) and this was pretty easy for me to learn. Thanks!

[@elman1409]

I start today learning Greensleeves and the first video I find its yours, very good instructions, thinks a lot, I will start my practice now

[@lmawd]

Thanks, quickest song I have ever learnt = good teaching.

[@Hummel901546156]

Best Lesson I've seen on utube since 2007

[@Speedboy85]

Learned in 5 min, great teacher but your new videos are way better!

[@MagicalPorkStudios]

"The second part is really, really easy." My noob self is ready. Can't even place my finger on the first part of that. Noobs out of this video.

[@vidiexNM]

Magical Pork Studios Don't say that just because you couldn't, maybe another noob can do it. And it is'nt as hard as it seems, just place your fingers to perform a C chord, then place your 5° finger in the third fret 1st string. Then just release your second finger from 4th string. Sorry for non native english

[@MagicalPorkStudios]

vidiexNM I actually managed to learn the whole song after 5 hours! :D I'm slowly getting the hang of this guitar stuff!

[@vidiexNM]

Nice! Although i'm intermediate, i took me around the same time to learn it well xD

[@hetgenie]

Magical Pork Studios That aint too bad

[@Lin-Carl]

He always says its easy, it is easy when you practice what he's giving you. I had the same experience with Kalinka and still am, you just gotta keep going over it and correcting mistakes.

[@samemyst]

Thank you your work! I'm so excited! At first it was hard, but in time I got better.

[@julo514]

thank you sir. you have taught me my forst song and given me the sense of accomplishment to motivate me.

[@ramuthra1]

Fantastic lesson, after learning a slightly different tab before, this has improved my play style ten-fold. Thank you very much sir!

[@alainternaux3827]

merci tes leçons sont faciles et claires, je joue depuis longtemps, et il me faut construire un répertoire, tu m'y aide grandement. Think's a lot for all, and your smile! so long on the web!

[@rmll5905]

Thank you for your art of teaching and your love for different music styles. I´m your pupil. Greatings from Austria.

[@Qdog145]

I feel so badass playing greensleeves. THANKYOU!

[@darksevenmaster5398]

Jeff Beck did an amazing cover of this song he completely sounded like himself And it is really great wish he played more acoustic Thanks for the Lesson man

[@shocxxxx]

you read it like the strings are going from the bottom of the page to the top, meaning the bottom line of the tab will represent the low E string, the second line A, third D ect.. and the numbers that are in each line represent the fret you are suppose to press. for example E|--3 B|--3 G|--0 D|--0 A|--2 E|--3 if this comes out right the tab i just wrote is just a G chord, meaning you need to put your finger on the 3rd fret for E, 2nd fret on A, D and G open, and the 3rd fret on B and E

[@jrobmus]

Thanks I have to learn this song for my club in this culture assembly. It was a great help.

[@wanikentang4684]

This guy is legend, thanks for the very easy tutorial

[@brkele]

Great tutorial as always. I like Stepan Rak version on classical guitar but it's beyond advanced. Worth to check it out.

[@nroytv]

Wow! You're really awesome, man! But there's more to this song than just these first and second parts you mentioned. That part is the REAL difficult one - not just for guitar, but for simple humming as well. But thanks for your tutorial. I wish I could play :)

[@Sarbasis619]

[@fkustaa]

I like the way you are playing this song, especially the way you are fingerpicking it. Can you explain how you are picking the notes with your picking hand, i.e., showing what the picking right hand is doing note by note?

[@ivanorjunior5804]

Acho que reconheço seu sotaque. Parabéns! Sua música e seu inglês são muito bons.

[@dannysandoval7817]

Turnpike Troubadours - Diamonds & Gasoline it's a great song. What I'm not being at all subtle about is I would like you to do a lesson on Diamonds and Gasoline, please!

[@Ardakapalasan]

[@Hablablas]

[@Prototype19920101]

nice tutorial, thank you very much

[@madmartigan1634]

Thanks, this is a great tutorial. It would be helpful if at some point you play the entire piece, at the correct tempo, without stopping so we can play along and see if we got the feel right.

[@MartinSStoller]

Love the rag time picking version!

[@prancingnotes]

Thanks man! I learned this one and posted my first video. All thanks to you :) Please let me know how I can improve for my subsequent videos.. cheers!

[@mohailrocker]

thank you

[@fernandoblengio]

Amazing lesson, subbed.

[@71ibanez]

Great lesson/Great Playing!

[@DavidofAbraham]

just a little adjustment to your tabs- in the 4th tact it has to be 1p0 not 2p0 on a string Eb and also it repeats on the other parts as well so just a little hint from me. otherwise good job

[@TheSnakeboy11]

The tab on your site is different from the one in the video. Why?

[@lgr9750]

Great lesson! Thank you

[@vrtoabushyan2532]

Great video , very good

[@AstrophelTDeath]

I don't know if you will get this, but recently my grandfather passed away and he was a Marine. I was wondering if you could do a fingerstyle rendition of the "Halls of Montezuma" so I can play it for my family. It would be appreciated. Also in the "Greensleeves" lesson, when you talk about playing it different ways what are all the chords you play when you mix the chords and picking parts.

[@lopevid]

It would be nice to have another tutorial about ragtime picking and how exactly make such a song like greensleeves work with it... :D

[@FernandoAlva96]

awesome, you really helped me, thanks a lot!

[@idartacus]

very nice lesson. good job!

[@StevenPraet]

Perfect teaching!!

[@rajeshkadramekar9868]

Please guideme ...I'm beginner and after finger sytle 101 I'm not sure which lesson to take.. your lessons are awesome..but as beginnger please hlep with the series of lessons which I have to take

[@moogdome2562]

Thank you so much. Could you please teach us Blind Mary by Carolin. Love your doggies.

[@LickNRiff]

@dooner3666 Happy to be of service

[@billlawrence1899]

A general question. I'll state up front I have no music talent. None. I have a good ear and can tell when something sounds right or is a little off. I can anticipate what the next note should sound like, but I can't make it come out my fingertips. I know a few strumming patterns and chord progressions, but since I can't sing, those are pretty much useless. My goal in music is to be able to fingerpick a recognizable melody. I've been at this Greensleeves every day for a couple weeks, and can kind of bumble through it, but it's slow and mechanical and strictly by rote. If I stay at it for a few more weeks or months and finally get to where I can play it somewhat like this guy does, will the next melody I try to learn come a little easier, or wil it be the same agonizing process all over again? Will I spend the rest of my life playing Greensleees and remembering I have to be somewhere else if someone asks me to play something else? A repertoire of one?
