Five and half years ago, I started taking guitar lessons at the age of 58. I began playing a Squire acoustic that I thought sounded pretty good, at least it got me moving forward. I now have a collection of seven acoustics,4 Gibson and 3 Martin, a Telecaster, and Ibenez ES 335 copy and a Fender acoustic/electric bass. There is an advantage to taking up an instrument when you're no longer a starving student ;-)

Joseph Caputi with respect, what's that got to do with this excellent tutorial?

You are an EXCELLENT teacher. I'm a tiny bit ashamed to say that I am only now discovering you. :( In the thousands of hours of guitar videos I have watched, not once has anyone demonstrated the D embellishment of the A. Sweet! Thanks so much for your lessons. I can't wait to binge-watch your channel!

Indeed! I discovered Dave’s lessons not that long ago myself. A perfect temperament combined with awesome guitar skills makes it easy to follow along to his lessons. Thanks Dave!

this is one of the best lessons I've ever watched

You are the best teacher on KZread I'm fifty years old and just picked up the guitar again and your just showing the best way to get a hold of the song you're teaching hope that the other people are realizing that

Totally agree

Can't take my eyes off of that beautiful Guild in your hands!! Great work!

As always, Dave, you present the song and rhythm very logically and, in the nicest possible way, simply!

Probably the best lesson I have seen on this song. Very simply and calmly explained. Great stuff. Many thanks.

One thing I like about your lessons is that you count out the time. That helps a lot.

I've listened to 4 or so beginner tutorials on this tune...a real favorite of mine...and this is absolutely the BEST. Many thanks!

Thank you very much, explained the rhythm sections brilliantly and great for rhythm & dynamic practice

Thank you Dave, you are a fabulous teacher / player. From the UK.

Love the way you explain the different strumming patterns. Thought I was doing something wrong but was just filling it naturally. I personally like the 456 456 fill with bass note.

I enjoy your brake down as well as the music theory that you give, thank you

I been playing 5 months ....watched loads of tutorials and some are helpful but the way you explain the beats and how to fill them in and recognise the counting.....makes more sense than any other vid I watched.....i just learnt loads on this vid alone! Thanks for speaking newbie

GREAT explaining the rhythm, hidden gem right there!

Great lesson . And an even better guitar . Love that Guild . Sounds amazing . That guitar was born when Guilds were top quality .

ive been playing guitar for 22 years, and have forgotten more than i actually know. You sir, are a bonafide instructor and i have subscribed just because of your teaching style, which is straight forward and simplistic....well done.

As a new beginner, got the solo part down l last nite & glad I found your tutorial on the strumming of the chords, very easy & great the way you explained it all!!! Much thanks & will look for many more of your lessons here!!!💣👍🤠

Learning a ton from your teaching, thanks for going into depth where needed!

Thank you so much! Very clear and concise lesson. Great one on one feel. The strumming pattern breakdown was very helpful.

Awesome great music song. Bass guitar playing guitar. So sound.

thanks so much for this lesson...as a person who just started guitar (nearly qualified for medicare), this lesson has probably helped me more than any lesson I've tried...great work!

THIS is first song that I learn complete, Thank you.!

Great lesson, Dave. I’m also loving the old Guild with mahogany top. I picked up a 1971 last year - really beat up, with repaired headstock, poor neck angle (low saddle and action a bit high), hole in the side from an old pickup installation, plus many other bangs and dings. All of that said, it plays and sounds just great and no worries about taking it camping!

I have struggled with another song in 6/8 time and this lesson brought it together for me. Thanks

Best video ever. I would buy lessons from this guy

Great Lesson, very easy to follow and understand.

You started with talk about only two chords... I was like hhhhhh..... sweet guitar is probably out of tune etc. Then I realised I was learning about time signatures and LEARNING!! guitar was tuned and you seem to have a metronome in your foot! Seriously surprised and seriously grateful for the non ego lesson! Thank you sir!

Very nice and thorough ... and love the old Guild

I love this aong and I love guitar. I really want to learn and this has inspired me to maybe start a new challenge. Thank you for such great explanation.

one of my favorite songs....great lesson! well explained.....i'm a 30 year strummer/ picker intermediate level and this fell right into my wheel house .... you are now in my top 3 guitar guru... can't wait to explore your lessons ... thanks so much

Super valuable rhythm explanation!

Forget the song, this lesson has helped me in areas that I was feeling defeated in and unable to do. I struggle with rhythm and this helped me a lot. Thank you!

This was great! Thanks for the backing track and sharing!

A music lesson straight from Music Row in Nashville! Whats not to like! Thank you so much for posting - I will learn and sing it to my wife just like Chris does :)

I have resisted counting and relied on feel for too long. You are great in showing the importance of counting especially with this song.

Dave Isaac's what an honor to get a lesson I wish that there were more of these but I know you can't do all your lessons for free

GREAT very instructives lesson ... thanks to share

This song is what made me buy a guitar and try to learn guitar at 69. 😆 🤣 My family thinks I am 🤪 but I don't care. Love this song. Thank you Awesome teacher ❤️

Hey Chris, Excellent Lesson!! Thank you

Great teaching. Totally understandable.

Very good explanation - thanks

Great explanation of the timing on this

U R an excellent teacher!

Very good guitar lesson. Thanks

Thanks so much very well explained 👌🏻

Thank you dude, you did a good job on that one!

great lesson , nice detail

goodness what a great tutorial on the strumming! Thanks so much. newbie here (7 months in) and the counting you gave made it all make sense for me with the strumming pattern!

I really like this. Thanks

Appreciate your concentration on the strumming. I play with a capo on 2 with G and Am but the strumming is tough. Hard to get that "soulful feel"

Subscribed! Great lesson! Thank you 👍 Stay healthy!

You are amazing the way you teach. Thank you for the video.

What a great lesson! Fantastic job, effortless instruction - big time inspiration 👍

I always hated playing the barred B minor cord. I will use the second fret capo suggestion and use the A minor cord to make life easier for my old hands. Thanks Mr Guru.

excellent! Thanx so much.

Great lesson, thanks. The backing track is a great bonus. Made me a Subscriber.

so easy to follow, thanks

Nice one. Got a vamp for my accordion in 6/8 now 👍😁🤪

It's been said but yes this is helpful and clear, thanks again

Thanks for the lesson

Nice job bro.

Love your videos, man. Very generous and thorough. I'd love it if you could do one on Anderson East's Lonely for an Intermediate player?

Love it, in other words, just feel the music.

Good lesson ty!

Great thanks bro 👊

Good job Brother!

I like your guitar

Great tutorial btw

PLEASE it's geNeral and geNerally. And no one told you??? Criminal!!! Great teacher, Dave!

I have a 1976 Guild D25-M like the one you are playing.

I can dig it!

Good stuff

Soon as seen Nashville guitar guru I subscribed

nice videos thx

This great, I am trying to learn guitar, i find this tuturial is great . I Try to understand the tempo , you have 6 beats , but when I we read portion tempos of 77 , it 77 beat per minute , so you 6 beat elapse time will be 60/77 * 6 seconds ? is this right? sorry I am new to music.

Does the A/D embellishment begin on the two count or on the four count of the 6/8 time, and does the embellishment hold for two beets or for three beets? Overall, this is a great, very helpful, lesson, but that segment is a little bit unclear to me - which is more a reflection of me rather than you, as you’ve explained this lesson much better than any other KZread lesson of this song

🙏

Nice! Subscribed

Hey Dave I live in Nashville and would love to learn how to play the guitar any ideas? Thanks

Do you happen to know the chords for George Jones version. By the way great lesson.

Where do I find part II...the one finger electric guitar solo you mentioned? I can't compleat the song without it.
