Musicians - one of the greatest gifts ever to be bestowed upon us. Cannot imagine a life without music, and being born in the mid 60's I can certainly say that this song always brings back such great memories. The variety of music being produced during the 70's was just amazing, the musical creative juices flowed non stop. Thank you for such a wonderful song - all my life this song has brought happiness out of me every time i hear it.

I don’t know how someone says that they got their 1960s Stratocaster stolen without crying

Imagine if they stole the jug players jug, that would've been even more heinous! But seriously speaking, he seems quite happy to own a guitar that's just similiar to it. Maybe he's really unsentimental. Or perhaps he just used up all his tears from thinking about the lost strat for 40+ years

Probably because he has a wall of guitars that most people could only dream of

Still has the sideburns. Awesome. I was in high school when this came out and it is still a great song.

I was in high school when you came out with this tune. It’s probably one of most iconic of all time. In my home I play it allot still. Thank you for being so creative.

Jerry seems like a 'real' guy and I truly appreciate him showing his technique for playing this happy classic song!

Ray Dorset was born in 1946, so as of 2020 he is 74 years young.

Good to see you Jerry. I was recuperating with a broken knee cap in the summer of '70 listening to the radio outside in the sun when this tune came on. Women definitely on my mind. 🙂

The natural Rhythm you have is rare... You are a mighty mighty man!

OMG HIS ALIVE THANK GODNESS

I have loved this song for 50 years. Pure positive vibes.

I absolutely loved that song. Such a fun song from my youth. I still sing it today. Those were the best days of my life, muscle cars, best music, beautiful girls, no tats, piercing or bras. 😅 Had it made and didn't even know it.

WoW....Mungo Jerry is so cool! In 1970 l was 14 years old, and my favorite band was CCR, but I absolutely loved "In The Summertime"'. Definitely one of the greatest songs on the radio that year. Thanks Jerry for teaching your guitar parts and technique for a song that has been in my head for 54 years.🎸

You gotta love Ray "Mungo Jerry" Dorset, what a great guy.

The best hits are the simple ones.

I just searched for a guitar lesson of "In the Summertime", what an awesome surprise and gift to find a lesson from the man himself 🎸

You have a lot of talent Jerry; my God that song is a standard on oldie and classic rock stations all across the country! I was 7 when that song came out in 1970 loved then and still love it at 59! ❤

He taught us that life's for living.

This guy was cool before being cool was even a thing...

His voice and sideburns are the same as 60 years ago

I was 16 in 1970 and I worked in a pickle packing plant after school, along with my older brother and several friends. We would all pile into one car together to ride down to the pickle plant for our afternoon shift to start. One day, In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry came on the radio and at full volume we had our first listen to a very hip sounding song and artist. over the next few days as we made our way to work all packed in the 63 Chevy together, we learned the lyrics and mouth percussion. We would sing along at full radio volume and our voices together. It was one of those best buddy shared moments ever! We still laugh all these years later when the song and our antics arise. God Love Ya Ray, You are a memory, and music maker! Ronster

I was only a little kid when this song came out and somehow it stuck with me all my life. Every summer it would come back to me and it was one of the very first things I tried doing on a guitar. Now I’m almost 60 and the song is used in all summer commercials of a well known supermarket chain in my country (Switzerland) It will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for sharing with us how it is played: will teach it to my kids and its magic will live on…in the summertime

He is SO British. “Like seeing which way the wind is blowing”

Don't know frets or chords but I do know this song touched me as a kid and today as an old man! Thank you Mungo Jerry!

I wanna only say thanks for this wonderful song and for this tutorial. Thanks for so many fun moments with your song

Gran canción de mi juventud, en el verano de 1970. Un privilegio volver a disfrutar de ella de la mano del gran artista de aquellos años, con esa maestría inigualable. Muchas gracias. 👏👏👏👏👏

Best freaking summer song ever; feel like I am fifteen all over again every time I hear it, thanks Mungo Jerry!

This is one of those songs that when it comes in the radio. EVERYTHING takes a back seat preferably myself too.

What an amazing guy Ray "Mungo Jerry" Dorset is. He wrote and recorded this song over 50 years ago and he looks, plays and sings exactly like he did back in the day. I love his self-deprecating humour. "Anyone can play this". Yes, but not anyone can write it and turn it into a number 1 single. What a lovely guy. I wish all musicians were like this.

You are awesome Man . Born in '70 and love this all My life and now You're showing Us how to play it ❤
