I first heard this song on vinyl in 1971 when the album came out. I grabbed my acoustic guitar and tried to play along, but could never get it to sound quite right. Having baby blues myself, the song has haunted me ever since. Now I'm 69 and still picking. Today, while stuck at home during the pandemic, I finally got it down and I'm jamming away on it. BIG thanks to Justin and KZread for sharing music and instructional videos. God bless y'all and keep you safe.

Justin you have been one of my biggest inspirations to continue to pick up my guitar, you are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us, and i will continue to watch the videos. Thank you!

"My love is D Chord"....nice job as usual...

One of the most talented and prolific instructors on KZread right here folks!

Great lesson! Love this song! Saw the Who live the first concert after John Entwistle died they played this it was powerful!

Honestly the best song tutorials on youtube, and this is coming from someone who has watched more then I'd like to remember. Serious props just!

This was a great lesson. I like how you incorporated all the different nuances in the different versions so we can match the one we like best with the one we want to play. Good job, and thank you!

Thanks. I was always wanted to learn this song. Now I will have many hours and days ahead of me trying to make it sound good. Thanks for breaking it down slowly.

I had to lol when he sang the chord progressions. "..E minor to and A add 9..." That is just a great method of teaching.

I know, right ?!😂

I have bought an electric guitar, been practicing various chords for a week now and added this video (the first few minutes) to my practice. I really love how you break it down, as an absolute beginner it makes it fun to watch and 'easier' to repeat. Thank you so much for this video, I'm sure I'll be watching much more of them! My love is Dchord, sus4, that's never Asus2, really made me laugh btw.

Thanks Justin. I want to play that song for a girl and You helped so much. Greetings from Poland and subscription of course ;)

Your kindness and devotion has made me come back again and again. You've got a pretty good voice too! Keep up your awsome work!

Aaaaahhhh! I've been following you for years, I finally cut my nails and picked the guitar up. I don't think that this is a good first song 😭 Oh how I love this song ♥

Do the Limp Bizkit version without the kerrang bit…..

as usual a great song taught by a great teacher, thanks sir.

Justin,,,,thank you for sharing our talent with me (us) - I love singing "I am a "D chord" for ever more - or how you just sing the chord into the lyrics - you teach me ease and comfort - I so much enjoy your videos - got your teeshirts that I wear at my gigs to show my support - thank you!....Mark - see me soon -where I will remind folks to check you out!

ive come along ways with the special way 2 play chords, u tough me, cause of my wrist injury and my index finger tendon operates my thumb . its been a awesome experence . i still play my 12 string most of the time and have stop using a pick. wanted to send u another big THANK YOU

Always amazed at how deep but clear that Maton guitar sounds. The vid is right on as usual.

Well, although I'm using Rocksmith to learn this song, this is a great lesson. I just came here for the picking patter, assumed I'd pick it up quicker having it explained than playing through it - didn't even realize it was all the same chord position, so that'll help. I just felt compelled to watch the whole video, great lesson.

you are the best teacher online by far!!!!!

Such a good teacher!

Justin...I've been watching you for awhile and I just want to thank you for posting so many teaching lessons. You seem to be such a cool guy and very talented. I play guitar and I've learned many tips from you....thank you my friend and I know you have spent many hours of your generous time....it hasn't gone unnoticed with me. Keep making a difference...............

Just so amazing Justin!!! I have always loved this tune. Thanks for all your hard work in charging our souls.

Thank you Justin, this is one of my all time favorites. I was probably 15 when the Who's Next album came out. Great song and a great lesson. Thank you so much.

Thank you for teaching us this wonderful song❤

LOL "Fiddle About" Great expression there, "Uncle Ernie"

I'm always amazed by how damn good that guitar sounds. Great lesson!

really great videos, 54 new player and never thought i would be learning songs like this for years , easy bits and challenging bits , thanks for all your hard work

my favourite Pete Townshend song (maybe with 'Empty Glass') I've tried to sing and play this song since 40 some years....If I had your lesson in those days...sigh

Thank sir! I found a guitar on my sister's house. Nobody knows how to play so I'm trying to learn.

Just learnt something new watching this thanks Justin

Justin has a great way of teaching. Awesome dude and many thanks

thanks a lot Justin really good formation, special thanks for intro !!!

Love your lessons. So glad I found this one.

Justin - nice job! It's fun and helpful when you sing the chords.

This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for taking such time to carefully explain how to approach this great tune!

My love is D chord! Love it!

grandissimo pezzo sei un grande, come sempre gran bella lezione

Again: Brilliant.

Big Thanks to genius Justin.

I've requested it! Gotta say thank you a damn lot Justin! Just learned the epic Hurt by Johnny Cash, now it's time to move on! Amazing! Right about time! Now I don't want to haunt you that much, but some awesome Cash songs like 'The man comes around' and 'One' would be so desirable! Sincerely, your fan from now on.

love it!! I'll stick to the strumming for the moment, I think! I can actually hear a tune coming out of my guitar! your video lessons rock thanks matey

Another great lesson Justin, love this tune thanks :-) Would there be any chance of doing a lesson on Glenn Campbell's ' Witchita linesman' sometime in the near future? Kind regards

You have a amazing singing talent.

Nice one Justin lovely tune riffs

Pete's original demo is beautiful and something altogether different...I think.

Thanks Justin for the lesson. Your guitar sounds great.

Thak you very much Justin, very good job. Picking is really hard indeed! still trying though

Great choise, epic song.

Haha Dude i was looking for a lesson like this because i played this song in a birthday last week! haha i found too late.. had to learn by listening! But nice job man!

Thanks from Oregon!

Thank you Justin. I'm just wondering if you covered the bridge from the end of "Wear your coat", just after the little guitar solo, to the final "No one knows" refrain.

Love this song, Justin. I still need to get the hang of the bridge but like you say, listening to the recording should help that out. On a side note, have you ever posted a discussion on fingernails and what do do about reinforcing them and such? I currently get acrylic but I'm open to alternatives if you have any suggestions. Cheers and keep up the great work!

Helped me so much!! I used this to win the talent show!! Omg thank u so much!!

Hi Justin, cool song....great lesson!

Awesome Lesson!!!!!! Thanks

Any chance you could do "sparks" from the who?

7:31 thanks for the Tommy reference

you are a great teacher!

You've really made it as simple as possible to get back into guitar. I am getting so confused, for Dsus4 to D I can see those are 1/2 a bar each but what about E to A and G to Gsus4 on the chorus? I'm writing the music down in a way I can read it and I can't get those two transitions.

Thanks a lot. Great lesson.

Me: What if I try fingerstyle? Also me: -______________-

Hey Justin. I would love to see come City and Colour on your channel, and its weird i havent found any yet. Songs like: Paradise, Grand Optimist or Sleeping Sickness would be awesome to see. They are incredible acoustic songs and has a very unique playstyle.

Fantastic lesson but I think there's a wrong chord in here somewhere. . . . . "As my conscience seems to be . . . " is followed by an E6sus 4 (042200) and not with that quick 'A' you mention. Sorry to mention it! But thanks for the picking at the beginning which I could never get right.

Excellent lesson. Anyone that gives a thumbs down to any of your lessons is just plain crazy. Thanks!

Thanks J-man !

Right on! Thank`s from SWEDEN.=)

Great lesson justin as always!...just wanted to put it out there that it'd be cool to see a lesson on a paul gilbert song like enemies in jail or something:)

Your the boss m8 thanks so much !

Hi Justin! Thank you so much for your videos. I especially love your rendition of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds by The Beatles. :) It was a great tutorial of a great song by a great band. I was wondering if you could maybe do a tutorial of While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles. (The version with Eric Clapton, not the version that's on the White Album). Anyways, just a suggestion. :p Thanks again for being your awesome and talented self. Peace~

Don’t worry, Justin - that guy from Limp Biskit can’t sing it either and he only has one job
