I like your tutorials. Your teaching method is very effective and I enjoy your humour. I recommend anyone wanting to learn travis picking learn the Kansas song Dust In The Wind with the three finger technique first. It’s a beautiful song that isn’t too hard to learn and sounds great. The reason I recommend it is that it follows the most common TP pattern throughout the song without much if any variation. Basically you learn just one pattern to play the whole song, and once you learn that pattern, almost everything else is just a variation of that pattern, and you will have the finger dexterity to handle anything.
Couldn't find inro run through in the bookmarks, so intro starts @31:34 for those wondering.
Hearing you play and sing this song brings me back to fall of my Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years of highschool. I always come back to Townes around that time and it reminds me of all those time, good and bad. But I thank God for all of them, I wouldnt be who I am today if things went another way. 🙏
This song, tied with Quicksilver Daydreams are my favorite of his songs. Quicksilver Daydreams next??
Rex's blues as well. I was pretty sad Junior and part of Senior year and those 3 helped me through it.
Great video mike! you had me do this with a song when I took a lesson and was one of the best things I got out of it.
Thanks for the tutorial!
You are the ultimate teacher as well as a brilliant musician.
Thanks man. Keep trying to get better and spread the musical joy!
no false revelations here! haha this was a great lesson thank you
Thanks man. Now we just need to try and remember this small obvious truth in our moments of absent mindedness!
Amazing. Thank you!
Ur welcome, please sub, like and dive in in to all the picking content!
Hey Mike. Thanks for all that you do! A couple years ago, I heard Kathy's song by S&G. It inspired me to pick the guitar up and play again after not performing for years through and after Covid. Your video taught me how to pick it and I've ridden that picking pattern through many other songs and originals since then. You're the best!
Man. Thanks for sharing. That's awesome and Im so glad to hear these videos are having actual positive impact on people!
write it down! What you learned! You said it yourself !
Haha. I learned to stop videos after a few minutes to see what I've learned. And if I can apply it. So...does this video pass the test???
Nice to follow you
the program is called Transcribe! I've got no affiliation. It was recommended to me. There's tons of similar programs out there. Perhaps some better and/or cheaper. I dont know. But you can always start by just slowing down youtube's playback speed. I did that for 20 years.
Music by Kurt Weil and Text by Bercht, marxist theatre from weimar Germany, its as punk as f**k, Von Ronk slays with it.
This captures the E.C. syncopation better than other versions
Thanks man. With all my 200+ tutorials in just trying to make the tab as accurate to the original as my talents allow me to.
If possible, might I suggest doing Only Him or Me for your next Townes Van Zandt song, Mike? It's such a beautiful song. Thanks for all the tutorials!
Indeed it is! Email me or consider sponsoring it over at MikesMusicMethod.com under Sponsor a Song
This happens all the time to me! I'll probably forget I watched this an hour from now 😅
Such an incredible song, thanks for doing it. I wonder if I’ve ever listened to Kate Wolf? “Green Eyes” has some beautiful picking in it
This blues is hard to pick - I've been trying for years and always failed to capture it's sparkle. This lesson is the best I've seen for getting it right, so I'm going to have one last try!
First time I heard this tune it was performed by his son. I actually prefer that version. One of my very favorites.
Thank you so much for this!!!
YAAAAAA!! I’m so glad you posted this I hope one day to be able to play and sing this to my kids
Mike, never disappointing and thank you for sharing/posting.🇨🇦
Hey Mike thanks for the great tutorials, they've helped so much! Could you make a tutorial on Blaze Foleys WW3 - such a good song and it's taken on a new meaning in regards to the world now. It would be an awesome song to learn! Thanks!
I forgot how beatiful this song was! Thank you 4 the video. Love your style of teaching
How much do you like michael hurley mike?
I really only have fallen in love with one song: Jacobs Ladder. But love it quite a bit Let me know which records or tracks to check out. He's got a lot
I have done this very same thing many times,,,, I can’t remember what I just watched haft the time,,,,,, good advice for sure, I feel a need to weed eat a few videos.
I don't understand false revelations . Are you feeling under appreciated ? I've been transcribing music for many years but one needs to practice also listening. I have a BA in music composition with honors. There were people who thought that I had no business to major in music. I don't comprehend false revelations, I heard religion and politics and I got confused. I used to play flute at a local church. That was my form of worship until the so called music director asked me to sit down. I never went back to church. False leaders even in church
I certainly appreciate your work especially MJH. IF YOU AIN'T COMPOSING, you're decomposing. Have a blessed day, your baby is beautiful ❤😊😊 Michael
So I'm certainly playing on the term "false revelation" as it has a great and wide historical scope. But in this video I'm using this term to describe the feeling you get when you consume informational content and the enthusiasm of the speaker, or your interest in the topic make you feel elated, like your learning, like you've been enlightened....but in reality you walk away with nothing. It was merely feel good entertainment with no actual practical or long term value. I often listen to KZread or podcasts and delude myself that I'm "learning" that it's "educational". But then I wake I take a noment stop deluding myself: It's often just high brow entertainment. Nothing more. Does that clarify?
@MikesMusicMethod Thanks for your explanation, but I am in my seventies and I'm not WOKE. FALSE REVELATIONS to me has something to do with religion. But it is OK. At first I thought it was a sermon and God knows me. Michael the Archangel protects me. I'm going to disregard revelations, I don't get it. Simplify your explanation or it doesn't matter that I don't understand. I've never heard of this in my music studies
Thank you so much sir
Excited to learn this. I just heard the Steve Earle cover of this. It has a tinge more sadness to it that I love. Song makes me tear up!
thank you Sir I am 67 and have waited 50 years for you to teach me I should have known the secret was to tune the guitar to G this song helped me to cry so many times when I was a much younger man thanks again
And all this while Mississippi John Hurt looks on.
Your good at what you do man
Amazed I’ve made it halfway through in just a few days. Been dreading attempting any Doc songs but starting with Prine then Townes then Hurt has made for a great intro course on fingerpicking the past few months. youre an insane teacher, thanks again dude, will certainly donate again soon
I think theres such thing as listening too much music too. Theres a reason shower thoughts are a thing because its the one time in the day where theres actual silence without any distractions haha
wise. I've hit that wall many a times. In fact, I listen to my favorite artists way less than I listen to artists I just "like" for the reason you mentioned. I don't want to burn them out. It's like overeating. Too much good stuff can make you sick, getting sick too often makes that good stuff less appealing.
Wise words Mike, i think it's called getting in touch with the substance or essence. Your video presentations are always awesome! P.S. - Love those pictures behind you.
Thanx, good sound advice🤗
So nice! Little treasure by your side was feeling it too.
❤
i am about 3 years late to this party, but this is a wonderful lesson. the combo of tabs and oral/visual instructions reallllly helped me. Subscribed!
no way. you're right on time! ;) I'm still out here cranking out videos and tabs and working on producing great content. So sign up for the mailer on my site, join the MM Discord and let me know how else i can help!
Hi mike ,im an italian boy i follow you from along time ago,i wanted to ask you if for Tear The Fascists Down Chords by Woody Guthrie id its possible Soupport from italy❤❤
Bro you’re fuckin awesome man but I have to skip through alotta your chat. So much so it’s hard to follow where the hell we’re at. Hey, I’m not making tutorials, I’ve no idea how hard it must be but ye. I may be wrong, I may be a dick for saying so but if you cut out the chat it might be better. Then again, maybe other folks like it and I’m just mongo. Feedback either way.
I'd argue that Marie is his most depressing song.
I'm about 2 years late, but this sounds sick yo. I'd say it's better than the original
Love all your Townes tutoials, this makes me happy thank's a lot, greetings from Jordan
I dove intoDoc's deep river blues and it took about four years of practicing it off and on to get pretty good at it (though nowhere near perfect). Its the best thing i did as it gave me good grounding for picking tunes. I found this pretty easy. Helps that youre an awesome teacher though with great tabs. Thanks a lot mate. Subbed and will be following your content 🙏🏻👍🏻🎶✨⭐
Great song!
Thank you from Zgierz in Poland :)
Man you really caught the jaunt of this tune. Cracker!
Don't surch to deep or you'll go to deep it gets more painful along the way. Good song my brother.
