Hey Buddies

I've created this Patreon page to help with the production of my guitar tutorial videos. I'm not planning to change what I already do and I will continue to respond to requests regardless of someone being a contributor or not. I have therefore set the patron amount at the lowest level of just $1 for those who wish to show their appreciation and to help with the purchase of strings, picks, music paper, sharpie pens, hard drives and cups of tea.

Thank you

Jase

More than a few suggestions for possible future lessons:

America - Sister Golden Hair
Robbie Dupree - Steal Away
Doobie Brothers - What a Fool Believes
Public Image Limited - Rise
Elvis Costello - Watching the Detectives
Charlie Ryan - Hot Rod Lincoln
Peter Murphy - Cuts You Up
Elton John - Your Sister Can't Twist
INXS - Don't Change
Rollins Band - Starve

I don't expect any/all of these to be covered but they may lead you to think of other songs which would be interesting for lessons.
Thank you.

Hello Jason. I must say that you are an inspiration as one who really capture the essence of many of the songs in your lessons and I do appreciate you with your musical taste. I love the Prince stuff and was wondering if you could do a tutorial on stuff from the Rainbow Children, Emancipation and the Lotus albums?

It would be useful to cover the strumming pattern as this is a key distinguing part of the song.

[lukequigley]

Nice rendition..Not the orig, but a easier one that is quite close ..Some folks [me] sometimes want a quite close rendition, it's good enough..

[DARCIOSILVESTRESABBADIN]

Congrats Jason i am here cause of Lil Devil cult

What's the tuning on your guitar? It's obviously not in standard

[brunswickbuild]

[photogramistic]

You know we are not here for rhe chords…

[imannonymous]

Umm ok it works kinda, it is hard to play this one as written

I’m sure you like playing guitar, but I’m not sure you should give guitar lessons, because unfortunately your not even close on how this song is played on the acoustic. So your really misleading anyone except I guess very early beginners guitar 101 for just strumming the basic chords but theres no bar chords played except in the chorus and there upper bar sustain chords. I will say it is a very difficult song to actually play correctly unless your a skilled player and have the dexterity to stretch your left hand across 5 frets and stay in that position and slide up the neck to complete the pattern. It’s hard to explain but really listen to it and you’ll see there’s no bar chords on the first 3 frets.your in the right key but your structure of the actual chords are way off. Not trying to be mean but your trying to teach people and it’s completely wrong sorry ! Good luck but anyone watching this it’s not the way it’s played
