    thanks this was pretty good, more would be great!

    This was super helpful — I am a total beginner (I took lessons when I was 8 — 26 years ago!) and just got a new guitar. I’m going to take lessons soon, but your post let me start playing a great song right away by breaking it down to the simplest parts. So, thanks — though my wife is less happy, she’s been hearing G – D – Am7 – G – D- C over and over and over again.

    This is the 3rd song I’ve learnt to play (after Wonderwall, and Clocks) and these vidoes were really helpful. Infact normally I don’t even bother commenting on videos but this was just so helpful. Thanks again. My guitar no longer feels a waste of money. What a song!

    Great video, you’re a good teacher!

    Great video. Makes the song really easy to learn. I think the counting is usually the hardest part of playing, especially for me, you made it pretty simple by breaking it down.

    First of all, your a great teacher. Your videos were great, not too long, and very informitive. Thanx!!!!

  7. bonnerac on Sat, 3rd Jan 2009 10:40 pm 

    Thanks! This helped out a lot and think other songs would be great for you to add. I only watched the video once, so the only thing that kept confusing me was the mention of the C chord. I took it to imply you could use either one the C chord or A7. The way you taught it worked well for me.

    Hey man, this was great! Your videos have helped me to start playing acoustic guitar!!! Thanks so much for your time putting this together. Can you get some more up there???

    Thanks again!

    Thanks for the tips bro! Timing is everything, and I aint got none! Now I do! OK I have something to work with at least.

  11. nate on Tue, 3rd Feb 2009 4:03 am 

    thanks for info very helpfull

  12. Doug on Tue, 10th Feb 2009 11:32 pm 

    This was super helpfull!! I got my guitar almost 2 years ago and have struggled til now. Would love to see more. Thank you.

  13. Doug on Wed, 11th Feb 2009 4:16 am 

    You do a great job!!! Could you show how to play “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” by Poison? Or is that a hard one to learn?

  14. Andy uk on Mon, 16th Mar 2009 9:56 pm 

    Excellent. I am an absolute novice, just learning the chords and have been looking for a tune to keep me enthused. Thanks to these videos I can play a recognised tune, which keeps me going through the chord practise sessions. Any more tunes like this would be greatly received.

  15. jason kincel on Tue, 24th Mar 2009 2:34 am 

    thanks so much for this video series. I’ve only been playing guitar for a couple of weeks now and this helped tremendously.

  16. Rich on Tue, 24th Mar 2009 3:42 pm 

    I thought this lesson was well done. I like the fact that you go out of your way to explain things other than just what chords to play. I would love to learn Hey Hey What Can I Do from Zeppelin. Can you put together a lesson for that?

    Thanks

  17. edwin on Tue, 7th Apr 2009 9:23 am 

    hey i’m from singapore! your videos are real helpful! its my second song with a acoustic guitar! (first was happy birthday!) thanks mate!

  18. Juan Manuel on Thu, 9th Apr 2009 2:06 am

  19. dina aqel on Fri, 10th Apr 2009 12:44 pm 

    great tips helped a lot..can you put up video series for melodies also not only chords..i would be very grateful and thankful to you.You have an easy way of giving the information to others.was great.

  20. rserpe on Sat, 11th Apr 2009 8:03 pm 

    Thank you for visiting my site and for your wonderful comments. Good luck with your playing.

  21. rserpe on Sat, 11th Apr 2009 8:05 pm 

    Keep up the good work. I hope the site continues to teach you.

    keep playing

  22. Eddie Sheridan on Thu, 16th Apr 2009 6:10 am 

    I like your style of teaching a lot and found this video very helpful. Kudos
    PS the wifey was right about the singing though :p

  23. Gillian on Mon, 20th Apr 2009 11:01 pm 

    thank you!

  24. Nick on Sun, 10th May 2009 12:46 am 

    Have been playing for 3-4 weeks and just found this video. Fantastic teaching mate, really enjoyed, Thank You

  25. Raymond Keyter on Fri, 22nd May 2009 6:43 am 

    Your manner in explanation is great and an easy follow for beginners such as myself.
    Thank you

  26. Jessica on Mon, 25th May 2009 7:18 pm 

    Hi, I think your lesson was great! So much better than others that I have found online because you really explain little details that everyone else just doesn’t get into and for a beginner that is so wonderful.

    I hope you do a ton more videos because I would love to watch them!

    Thank you so much!!

    Jessica

  27. Patrick on Tue, 2nd Jun 2009 12:23 am 

    Thanks a million for the help i thought i’d never find videos this useful. Finally on my way :)

  28. jimmy on Mon, 15th Jun 2009 5:51 pm 

    you did a fantastic job in all phases of teaching us that song.I hope there is more to come.I needed a jump start to start playing again and you did just that, thank you so much.

  29. gerry on Sun, 28th Jun 2009 8:57 pm 

    Very easy to understand. Much better than any other guitar video I’ve come across. Well done.

  30. claire on Sun, 26th Jul 2009 8:06 pm 

    Amazingly helpfull thank you so much! Best tutorial video i’ve seen so far. i can now actually sort of play the song and i only started 3 weeks ago!

  31. Martin on Fri, 14th Aug 2009 8:42 pm 

    Nice training, never realised this song only consisted of just 4 chords…
    Any more lessons online?

  32. Emy on Wed, 26th Aug 2009 5:12 pm 

    pretty good but i didn’t get some of it you say index and use yours ring finger and then you say notes you don’t do oO but good song and thanks anyway :(

  33. Tanuka on Sun, 30th Aug 2009 7:11 am 

    I’d always thought this song was really tough to play but your videos were amazing!I got this song on my guitar in no time..thanks a lot!

  34. Wayne on Mon, 21st Sep 2009 6:15 pm 

    In 1977 I bought a classical guitar in a small shop in Madrid. The Luthier was Paulino Bernabe and I remember him as a kind and gentle man who was rightfully very proud of his workmanship. I’ve had it now for over 30 years and have never learned to play it. I chanced upon your website this morning and within a few hours I was able to play this classic Dylan song that I remember from my youth. My version is not quite as good as Dylan’s was but you have now inspired me to learn to play this fine instrument in honor of Paulino, whom I understand passed away in 2007. Thank you.

  35. Steve on Thu, 8th Oct 2009 11:42 pm 

    Brilliant!! Jammin with Dylan.More please.

  36. rserpe on Mon, 12th Oct 2009 3:24 pm 

    Glad You Like it Steve! More songs are on the way!

  37. Mark on Sat, 24th Oct 2009 10:35 pm 

    Very nice. Thanks for having done the effort!
