Hello friends,
Today I'm sharing with a full tutorial on Simon and Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound." In this lesson I'll take you through the licks, finger-style patterns, and chord progressions for the intro, verse, pre-chorus, and chorus. Remember to take these techniques slow, focusing on quality repetitions. Let's get started!

    At 1:35 with subtitles on, it's translated to "My father's gaping hole" instead of "...my thoughts escaping..." You run into these golden comedy moments and you just don't know what to say

    The perfect instructional lesson. I've played for 50+ years and usually grab a few hints from these tutorials. Just watching you play it, in the beginning, was enough for me, but the voicing of the "G chord slipped up 2 frets" was perfect. Paul Simon (out of C's and G's) and James Taylor (almost always out of "D") have little signature hammer on-pull offs that they use; mine are similar. But I see how this would help newer guitar players as well. Travis picking is a little more difficult. I warm up to Doc Watson almost every day. Windy and Warm would be a great tutorial as well. Tommy E. has one, but he's in a different space. Thanks for helping.

    you are a great teacher... a lot of sight just run through it without showing some of the cords that you don't normally use. and slowing it down is another plus. your lessons are worth every penny you charge and more. keep the great work up my friend... you are making a lot of people's dreams come true............. another thing, i like the way you do after teaching a couple of section you will combined them together so we can see how they sound together.. that's something most people won't do.......
