Vincent (Starry Starry Night) by Don McLean - Guitar Lesson

[@djw0051]

I've been playing this song for over 20 years, and you've just pointed out so many notes intertwined with chords that I have COMPLETELY MISSED!!! My heartfelt gratitude for showing me this, Chris. I have to "relearn" this now.... Cheers!!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks very much, I'm really pleased that I've been able to help you out

[@Bradnick930]

Thanks! I've been playing it for years having worked most of it out by ear. You straightened out some weak spots for me. Excellent lesson.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Bradlee, glad I could help you out

[@Elhetovilag]

Super - best of the available starry night tutorials

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Glad you think so!

[@paulcatterall6022]

Best teacher out there! Although I still play with 2 fingers😄, I can still manage to play the songs you teach. Thank you so much. Congrats on your 100k!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot Paul

[@chrisrose5885]

Nothing wrong with that, Paul, that's what Travis Picking is = cheating. Birds of a feather, you and me 😀

Hi Chris, thanks for the lesson. You break it down really well so that it's easy to follow step by step and you can learn individual sections over time. Thanks for all your lessons, they're all great. Best finger style teacher on KZbin by miles!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Sam, really appreciate it

[@eddiet2]

@@oliviagrace6914 Thanks a lot Olivia

[@davidstokes6596]

I must say I have been enjoying your lesson, at least until you got to the chorus. Where as through the verse you took your time and did a few bars at a time. Now, trying to learn the chorus you keep playing all the way through. It has become very frustrating but I will keep working through. Take care.

[@axlr5150]

My next challenge. Love this and your tuition is the best,thanks.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot

[@goodtimefolkrock]

Fabulous..thank you sir suggestion - empty chairs ....a similar song with it's own special intricacies...Don McLean is a complex player for sure

[@asc8048]

I’ve learned a lot of songs from this channel, I hate to ask but any chance you could do a long and winding road lesson? Lol please

[@aarish1337]

Please can you teach Thunderstruck by Luca Stricagnoli

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

It's difficult to take requests as I get a lot but thanks

[@aarish1337]

@@SixStringFingerpicking I know but listen to this one. It is special and a challenge to master it.

[@chrisrose5885]

Wonderful lesson, Chris - I'm halfway through this 🙂 Don't know if you take requests, but I've heard Elton John's Tiny Dancer lately, and would love to hear it rendered into a guitar finger-picker. One for you to think about...

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Chris, glad you like it. It's tricky to take requests because I just get too many to keep up with. I love that song though

[@markysam4068]

Please tutorial of and i love you so by don mclean I'll wait until you reply!

[@manolete5481]

Great job, thanks ! I bought the tab on musicnotes and I have two questions. Is there a video where you play the whole song through that we can play along maybe ? And also, it would have been great to put the lyrics on top, at least for the first verse and chorus, just to give some hints on when to sing - and when not ;)

[@techni-cmate4746]

Very good tutorial, Can you do guitar lesson/ version of "Swordsman of the water" OST of Flame of Recca Tnx

[@youngbull0]

Loving all of your lessons Chris! Subscribed! Got a song request for ya. Imagine - the Jack Johnson version 🎸🔥

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot! I'll check his cover out

[@frmacleod]

Your repertoire is so deep at this point. How many of these songs do you think you can still play from memory? lol

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

It's certainly getting pretty big now. Maybe I could remember 20% or so

[@rogerjane1350]

Great tutorial! I've bought your tab and wondered why at Bar 72, you changed to 2/4 timing and Verse 3 don't seem to fit in. Hope to know the reason 🙂

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Glad you like it! I just followed through with the tab and it all seems fine. There is a bar of 2/4 there, the timing is very loose and is weaving a lot. Perhaps that's what's tripping you up a little.

[@rogerjane1350]

@@SixStringFingerpicking thanks for your prompt response. ❤️ I listened to the Don’s original again and he is really free flowing so I guess it doesn’t matter anyway as long as we play and sing according to our own time and enjoy 😎

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

@@rogerjane1350 Exactly, it's very free time. Cheers
