You Are My Sunshine - Finger style - Mississippi John Hurt Lesson w Tab - Note for Note Tutorial

[@goboslament5535]

Well done. I once worked as activities coordinator at an alzheimer's home. Sang this song every day I worked there. It was hell for me but, you know, they didn't realize it was so over-played.

[@MikesMusicMethod]

ha. This is one of those comments where I dont know whether to laugh or cry. But thanks. I'll keep em coming.

[@moirafordausems5405]

Just subscribed to your channel I really appreciate the work you put into these , currently working on poncho and lefty and deep river blues this is my new favorite KZbin channel I guess what I’m trying to say here is the Dude Abides

[@MikesMusicMethod]

welcome aboard, man! Thanks for the kind words. Dive in, join the Discord and let me know how else I can help. If you keep getting solid value from the channel please consider monthly support so i can keep cranking em out. Any tunes the MMM catalog is missing that I should add?

[@DaHill1998]

Many thanks for the vid. Great energy teaching - so important. I have had his fantastic live-Rediscovered version on my playlist for years. The guitar may be a little flat and he seems a little tired, maybe late in the set - but it is an absolute 2 minute acoustic solo guitar masterpiece. Your teaching of his playing with soul and not over worrying technique is right on - on all his playing.

[@MikesMusicMethod]

DaHill, thanks for the lovely comment. I really appreciate that man. And yes, Hurt is a gem. I'm trying my best to do these songs justice by bringing yall the most accurate tabs, and figuring these things out to the best of my ability while keeping the tutorials fun, light, and digestible without watering anything down! lmk how else I can help. And if you continue to get great value please consider support if you havent already. it goes a long way. Thanks!

You're ripped dude. Great lesson.

[@MikesMusicMethod]

[@jacobzimmerman3492]

Would you consider trying oh babe it ain’t no lie by Elizabeth Cotten. You are really the best at these, only person who teaches playing it right, details and all. Thanks!

[@MikesMusicMethod]

you're the second person to ask about this one. It's now on the list!

[@2brk2hvhndl]

Yes i would love that too

[@raphilesacher4855]

You're a hero, best teacher on YT thanks for that one! :) Still hate those bar chords though I still need a lot of work 😂

[@MikesMusicMethod]

Raphi! Thanks, man. Please sub, like share and consider monthly support so I can make more of these! In the meantime...what's hard about bars? The wrist hurt? fingers? How's the action on your guitar? How long ya been playing?

[@raphilesacher4855]

​@@MikesMusicMethod I'm teaching myself for I think little under 4 years now but I did not find a lot of time for playing guitar in the past year. But the main problem with bars is getting there fast and fret all strings properly. The action on my guitar is I think pretty standard for a western guitar, but I never touched anything because it's not as easy as on an electric to set the action. :)

[@titlelsd5791]

waiting for.. Poor boy long ways from home - Mississippi John Hurt. plsssss

[@MikesMusicMethod]

! of course. I'll do it after I finish the 2 in the cue!

[@UNEAKinfluence]

Thank you for the awesome content! All the best choice jams, for sure. Will be donating soon! A couple good ones I haven't been able to find good lessons on are "Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin'" by Rev. Gary Davis and "You got to take sick and die" by Boyd Rivers! Maybe you can check them out, definitely would be great additions to your growing list of great vids. Much love, be blessed man!

[@UNEAKinfluence]

Another good one.. John Prine - "Speed of the sound of loneliness" kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6XQZ5WQgdSjmaM

[@MikesMusicMethod]

this one has been requested quite a bit. I'll get to it soon!

[@MikesMusicMethod]

[@andrewclack4881]

Mike, as you seem to be master of all styles. I was wonderin if you would be able to do a breakdown of BLIND BOY FULLER'S-CARELESS LOVE. Everyone does the Lonnie Johnson version but I just love the Fuller one. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

[@MikesMusicMethod]

dang! how cool. I didnt know this song. What an excellent intro! Killer guitar playing.I'm gonna check it out. But this is a whopper. Lots going on. The list is long, but this is added to the list. Thanks, Andrew. And please consider the value for value model. I feel like i'm offering a lot of value, and if I could get back what I think the channel deserves I could make this my day job and crank out a video every couple days!

[@sirveza5755]

If you could do America’s favorite pastime by Todd Snider you’d be my hero

[@MikesMusicMethod]

Keep the requests coming, but I've gotta admit I dont care for the song. It sounds like a I IV V in the key of B with a lot of 7ths. So I'd say play B E F#, and try some of them as 7th chords. It's not really travis picked and he's just kind of winging it with the thumb and other fingers.

[@ReggieChump]

Too much waffle... Get on with it, please.

[@MikesMusicMethod]

Yeah, I love to waffle. That won't change. Sorry. But I do time stamp all the videos. So jump around. The measures are marked. Good luck with it.
