A fabulous song. Learn the chords and strumming patterns to this song as well as the lead fills that really bring it all together.

The Bob Ross of guitar teaching. Worth watching even if you don't intend to learn to play. Just relax and enjoy the soothing sounds.

First time viewer! Thanks for exactly getting how I approach songs as a basic player. Skipping hard chords, slowly building. Love the reassurance. As I’m sure you’ve told the everyone, it’s all about playing and singing a song. Don’t let lack of skill keep you from enjoying it … and before you know it, the skill will start to build. Just sing louder in the meantime.

Thanks for doing this song. I always loved it. Recently I heard Cat doing it with Chris Cornell and they really had the fills turned up. I went back and listened to the original and also another version from about 15 years ago. Those fills really make the song special.

I really like the clarity, patience and knowledge you show with all your lessons

Thank you for the great tutorial. Always played this campfire, fully strumming, no noodles. Your "How to" is great, comprehensive and at arms reach for intermediate, albeit beginners. Now I can flourish the song with the fills. Again thanks.

I've been working on playing this song for 5 months. It never sounded quite right to me. I obsessed over it many times. Your verse strumming suggestion is genius. Thank you. It sounds beautiful.

Great song. I love Mr Big's version with Paul Gilbert doing it on a 12 string.

When I learned that song many years ago, like you I was taught to use a D7 as the 2nd chord. Recently, I was watching tutorials, and the teachers always used a D chord, and I also saw Cat Stevens himself do the same in a vintage video. It sounds good too, but I still prefer the D7. And I was glad to see you think the same as me. Same thing with the use of the Cmaj7.
In another YouTube tutorial, the teacher use a Dm as the 2nd chord, it doesn't sound good at all. I will not name the guy...

Just wanted to say I am learning a great deal and am very comfortable with your teaching and have excelled to a very cool level in my playing and confidence. Thank you for your time sir !

[Wildevis]

Ecellent tutorial thanks, I actually jumped here from your latest video about playing this song along as I want to learn to play it properly

[Ram.Saketh]

Brilliantly done (as is each one of your videos). It's such a delight to watch and learn. Your instruction format and style is probably the best I have seen on YouTube. Thank you.

[scotttyson]

I like when y'all put the chords on the screen.
