This style of playing is exactly what Mark Knopfler introduced me to. He taught me a lot of these folk music kind of techniques that totally blew my mind back then.

This man is insanely talented

I don’t know if he’s that talented. What I do know is he has put in a lot of effort into playing guitar. Talent is kinda nonsense, you get better at playing by practicing.

Tommy Emmanuel is one of the very BEST guitarists I've EVER heard in my life. I had the opportunity to see him live once and even did a meet & greet with him as well. I had him sign my acoustic guitar and we took some pics...great experience all around as the concert was AMAZING as he's is absolutely PHENOMENAL live! Great video! :)

The last level reminded me of Tommy Emmanuel live performances. Sounds really cool!

Поддерживаю! Хотя по качеству игры ближе был 5 уровень, у Томми оно как-то вообще легко идёт с виду, без напряга молотит

Hey Paul! I have recently moved to the Netherlands from Ukraine. Been a fan for like 6 years! I saw you a few weeks ago near Rotterdam, You were on your bike!

Highly enjoy the contrast in content between each consecutive level. Makes every one vital from beginner to advanced players, and I will always appreciate a nod to Chet Atkins haha.

Yes! Chet Atkins was one of the reasons I learned guitar and doesn’t get enough love. He truly is the father of guitar and fingerpicking.

Just discovered this channel today. Props to the KZread algorithms for leading me here. Great videos my friend, play on

Cat in the window at 2:37 loves level 4!

You sounded just like our hero, Chet Atkins. Excellent!

@@fabiotini4647 Pretty sure those comments aren't him. I reported the one on my comment. This has the verified user checkmark, though.

Sometimes I just let my fingers loose and they do what they want and I'm surprised how good it sounds. I've been playing for 40 years and there's a definite mental/physical release where my brain stops "thinking" and I just feel the music and my fingers do what I feel. Beginners won't understand this but after decades of playing it's like you hear something and your fingers just start playing it and you become one with the music. Like a connection between your heart/spirit and your body where the thinking part of your brain is bypassed. Those are the times when playing music becomes magical. Finger picking for me does this.

Hello there Mr. Paul Davids, To borrow this moment, I have just recently followed your YT video’s , and will join the “acoustic adventure” course I am very excited about. I had some trouble sharing comments on the mini samples you’ve offered and wanted to comment here. 42yrs old American/Japanese raised in Japan, leaving my guitar collecting dust for 10+ yrs, and my oldest daughter, 13 this year wants to learn. A little research brought me to your channel, and thank you, you have 2 new students now 😉👍🏻 Love the way you teach , Arigatou gozaimasu 🙏

Paul Davids long ago entered the zone of... 'well I'll never be that good'.. this has well and truly cemented it.

Steve Howe's "the clap" comes to mind here :-)

I was looking for this comment because I immediately recognized “The Clap” from the Yes Album. This song MUST be the genesis of Steve Howe’s composition.

Depending on my mood I get inspired or depressed but I’m always impressed 👍🏻

I litteraly searched for a lesson on this song last week.. Couldn't time it better!

Have to say that the Elizabeth Cotton version struck the perfect balance between intricacy and simplicity. Versions "above" that took a lot of the magic out of the sound.

Always inspiring, exceptionally crafted videos! Thanks for sharing your talents

My fav Guitarist will always be Dax Andreas 😍😍😍😍😍

Awesome walk-through! Inspired by your playing as well as your collection of monkeys out back 2:38

Glad to see the cat at 2:37!

Paul is at one with the soul of guitar, the technicality of guitar, the passion of guitar players... very inspiring

I play the guitar, much like a 2 year old plays the drums. So I cognitively understand what you are doing, but knowing how I struggle just to play some bar chords... I salute you. You. Are. Guru.

Can’t wait for levels 7 to 10.

As a young man meeting chet for the first time and Jerry before he became famous.,.I'll hafts say tommy emmanuel is an absolute beast...he is the consumate Entertainer on top of all that..giving us mortals something to aspire to...

I really love the structure of your videos! It's just really nice to watch!

Level 4 is so perfect. Everything fills its role so flawlessly. So full and awesome.

Excellent subtle build up from level to level

Cat spotted at 2:37. What we're all really here for.

Thank you Paul and massive respect to you for showing us your interpretation of Tommy's classic. Fantastic!!

I just love listening to you play and watching your fingers go. Awesome stuff.

Watching you play is always a bliss. Big up, Sir.

very well played.. This video will be so helpful to different levels of guitarist. Thank you Paul for sharing

Thank you for this , wonderful demonstration of the evolution in a simple melody.

Very timely! This song was on my learn next list. I really appreciate the multiple level approach to learning a song.

Truly awesome, beautiful, and inspiring. This is one of my all time favorite guitar songs to hear and you have made it even better. Keep it up!

Love it - Paul’s coursework is amazing BTW!!!

The bend on the b string is my favorite part of the song and all the covers seem to miss it. Very simple but so beautiful. You got it!

SO much fun to watch and listen. Can’t wait to keep working to this level ❤️🙌

Weekly inspiration just dropped. Thanks Paul

Paul's videos are always great, whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, there's always something to take... Many thanks for that Paul

Paul, another great video showcasing your ability to play as well as teach in a manner everyone can enjoy and understand.

Great music often starts with simple Melody. You just proved it! I'd love to see each level broken down more, but I love your teaching style, delivery and the content. Your humility is seriously infectious!

You are one of the main reasons why my joy for playing guitar never fades, thank you so much.

Nice playing. Thank you for sharing.

That Collings sounds so gorgeous, also, amazing playing Paul ♥️

Wow, I love how you can add such beautiful flavors over simple songs like that. I do stuff like that too but I'm not able to do it as extravagantly as you. BTW, I've almost completed your list of 10 guitar solos everyone must know. 😀 Awesome video as usual.

So good to hear freight train played beautifully. Tommy, Chet, really any fingerstyle player would have been proud to hear you play those with flair whilst keeping to the melody. Love your work Paul, all the way from Australia. P.S. That Collings sounds gorgeous.

I joined one of his courses, and I must say I am really happy with it! Not disapointed at all. It is very well structured, easy to follow. Really enjoying it!!!!

Cant recommend Acoustic Adventure enough. Just amazing work. Awesome playing Paul !

I’ve only been playing for a month and just about got my fingers around moving between C-D-G chords, so watching this was super motivating :)

Yeah, he's playing guitar - nice. But the real star is the cat, outside the window at 2:36 ! :D

Amazing video. Cant wait to apply this in practice and see where it takes me! Your online course are amazing too. I definitely feel like a better player who knows the steps i need to take to keep improving.

Beautiful playing and sound ❤️

That level 6 was sick

Freight train is one of my favourite guitar pieces!! The legend Tommy Emmanuel teaches this one for fingerstyle blues which really helped me. Great lesson as always Paul! 😁👍

Love it 😍! You present it so great.

You're showing off, Mr Davids - and I love it! So good 👍😁😁😁

Nice played, and kudos for trying anything Tommy does! Hes been an inspiration for many of us.

There’s special place in heaven for ppl like you man

Great segment Paul!

fabulous stuff Paul ...

Thank you Paul!

I was fortunate to be one of the few that got in the initial test group for acoustic adventure. A year ago i think. I would highly recommend it. It takes time and effort but it has helped me to improve and get exposure to a wide variety of styles and techniques. I would highly recommend getting the pdf of the tabs printed which allows practice without having to login every time. The videos tell you what to do, then it takes time with the tabs to get the hang of it.

Beautiful as always ❤️

I think this is my favorite video so far from you. Very cool.

Level 20 Molly Tuttle. Love this video really well done

2:38 that is some big cat behind the window man 🫣

@PaulDavids Haven’t seen you use your Collins guitar in a minute still sounds absolutely amazing

Fantastic! Once you got up to level 6, it reminded me of Steve Howe - The Clap.

Super cool video. Six levels that each prevent a challenge but helps you see how learning the guitar is all incremental. Cheers!

The final version was insane brah- nicely done!

This was mesmerizing

Thank you sooo much for the shots of your fret hand. You're a wonderful instructor, and a charming enough fellow, but watching your hand is all I need to learn the song. Not enough videos include those shots.

Just pure beauty Yup that’s my comment folks, thank you my good man

Super awesome! Love it!

It's great to see someone enjoying not only playing but teaching also!

Excellent video!

Inspiring vidoes as always 😍

The sixth level is amazing

Awesome sir, for me level 3 is enjoyable to listen and to learn, starting to level 1 try

Paul with the fresh cut 👌

Thanks for the education!

Paul Davids is awesome as always! a fan from Philippines. I want to play like you someday.

Very nice thank you.

I am always amazed at both your playing ability and excellent teaching style. While i would have to practice a while to play any of these levels, your explanations of style and mechanics are so very helpful. You are great
