Important notes: Is this video worth redoing like how I edit them now, with TAB on the screen? And here...I've detailed the chorus in a new video! kzread.info/dash/bejne/X2SKxZuYoM_RoLA.html and here's a TAB finally! MikesMusicMethod.com

Hi Mike! I'm starting to work on this one again, as it's one of my very favourite songs all times and styles considered. It would be really helpful for me to have one video with the tab on the screen and maybe - if it's not asking to much - the whole song in one vid? Do you think that can be done? Hope you and yours are good. Take care.

I've been trying to learn this song for two years, but this is the best breakdown of the picking pattern. You're the GOAT I swear, thank you

Man your tutorials are incredible for a terminally intermediate player like me! I’ve played a few different versions of this song over the years, mostly my own patterns (except the Ramblin’ Jack version). But I’ve never been fully satisfied and this kind of pattern doesn’t make sense looking at a tab. I loved your Townes Van Zandt lesson for Nothin’ as well. Anyways, thanks a million!

Of all the many lessons and tutorials on KZread and elsewhere, this is by far the best. It's clearly explained in easy to understand instructions. Added to which, Mike breaks the chords and finger-picking parts into sections to enable students to learn each section and isolate them until you can play them your best before playing (and singing) the whole song. 👏

Amazing. I'd already learned this from various other YT tutorials, but your version is different and sounds a lot more like the record. Going to relearn now. Slooowwwly. Would you consider doing a tutorial on the Joan Baez version of 'Daddy, You've Been on my Mind'? EDIT just looked it up on Wikipedia and, interestingly, Bruce Langhorne, who also played on Don't Think Twice and is widely credited for its hypnotic guitar arrangement, also played on this, but electric guitar, with Baez on acoustic. So it really might be (my ear really isn't good enough to tell) that part of the equally hypnotic effect there is down it being two guitars. Still, I'd love to get some idea of what's going on in the fingerpicking department there.

Yeah, so there are probably 2 or 3 videos of the 170+ that I changed in hindsight. Early on this youtube journey I wasnt even creating tabs for the videos! haha, why not? I couldnt tell you! I certainly learned with experience. So when I went back and redid a couple of these I realized: hey, now that I've been at this a while and am really listening to the songs note for note: I can do this better! I wasn't playing them EXACT. So the tab is more accurate to the song. But both ways sound nice. Sorry for the confusion. This is one of these songs that is so awesome, that in hindsight, maybe it's worth redoing and making a very slow, and hyper accurate video. Or is this one good enough? You tell me.
