How To Play NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN (SIMPLIFIED!)

[DjNikGnashers]

This piece is one of the most frustrating I have learned. One day I can play is ok with a bit of struggle, the next day I am fret buzzing like crazy.
Your version is genius.

I'm nearly 70 and have been finger picking guitar since I was 17. I have lost some mobility and strength in my wrists and you made it possible for me to learn and play this beautiful tune.
Thank you Rob,
Mike.

Been playing since i was 12 THEN i get to 55 and arthritis WRECKED my hands. Guitars went in the cupboard for 10 years until - I started eating olives and DISCOVERED I had HANDS again that moved and everything not lumps of wood. So Ive wanted to play this for years but I no longer have a steel acoustic only a nylon so i need to get one! This turorial is OUTSTANDING as we all know Lindsey saounds like he has 4 other guitarists playing with him (he doesnt hes just a genius) Cheers Rob so im going to TRY to see in my broken hands can play again?🙏🙏🙏🙏 You have gained a sub AND dinger bell thingy!

What a brilliant teacher, I have been playing for some time now, only picking the guitar up when I was fifty. I have loved this tune for many years but the finger picking was always a little advanced for me as I had got into a rut strumming. The sheets of tabs I have down loaded so all good there and followed your picking rhythm, still working on that, so I feel that after time spent practicing I will get there. Can I say that yes there are other teachers giving tutorials on this tune but none come close to your absolute brilliance in getting it over to students.
Thank you so much Fennah you have inspired me, I am now in my seventies and it goes to show that with the right teacher opening the right door you can teach an old dog new tricks or in my case old man. God Bless you and keep your sense of humour it makes learning so much fun.

After a decade of failed attempts at this song I just picked this up in 15 mins. Great stuff, singing over it already. Learned the chain yesterday I've plenty of Fleetwood now:D

I'm 72 now Rob. Pulling out the ol' guitar again. Great encouragement ....thank you.!

[jerihannah]

I love you!! I found you this morning playing Never going back again!
Brilliant started playing right away… my hand thanks you too!!!

Dear Rob, I decided to take up playing guitar when I was 63 years old after a second prostate cancer operation. Thank you for this video!!!

Very kind to be putting this out here for free. Excellent human being . Thankyou

I've been a finger picker for over 55 years. My fingers are automatic. The toughest part for me with this has been teaching my fingers a new pattern. They seem to be adapting well, so, don't give up, your brain will create new pathways, (just like learning to type in typing class in the olden days. Yes, high school offered typing classes).
I love this piece so much and have wanted to learn it for so long that I'm thrilled with each measure I get down pat. So, thank you Rob, for introducing an easier way to play this without the bar cord thing. Too, your downloadable charts you offer for free, easily explains how it all comes together. I never dreamed a piece so difficult could be so easy, with just a little effort. Brilliant! Thank you!

I own the May 1992 Guitar School Magazine with Yngwie and Nirvana on the cover and it has an excellent transcription the same way you play it by Mark Hanson . Relearning it from the same mag as back in 92, Some music never ages .Challenging tune indeed . Excellent lesson .

You are a beacon of hope. Thank you a thousandfold❤

[teresamichelangeli]

Thank the Lord! My fingers just can’t form the shapes required to play it the other way. Just impossible. You’re a godsend.

Great minds think alike! Also discovered NGBA was a snap while fiddling around in CGDGBE (FWIW, for the purpose of attempting Richard Thompson's "Vincent Black Lightning 1952"). Great job!

[Ratfunk]

Since I play open tuning slide this explains a lot. Thank you.

[bgrovian]

As a beginner, I've been learning a few of my fav songs, and this song is so good. Couldn't do it Lindsey's way, but can ALMOST do it your way - the middle part with bar on the 14th fret gives me fits...little finger not strong enough yet...but I'm determined. Thank you so much for this tutorial...you're the best!

[RealDapperDude]

I just jumped over here from your prior, and laughed right out loud watching the business with the first, then second, guitar. I'm new-ish and all for easier to learn complicated fingering. Cheers.

[LorraineRice-xq]

Thank you! My arthritis was really making this a painful experience, this version has made it a lot less painful!

[patricedege]

That was ingenius! Never thought I'd be able to play the likes of this song but this lesson made it possible. Thanks you, Rob!

Brilliant. Avoids the insane s-t-r-e-t-c-h for smaller fingers. And I've been playing for 30 years and can play songs like Solsbury Hill note for note.
