This might be the most bizarre guitar lesson I've ever seen.

[AndySalinger]

I learned a lot and gained the confidence to embrace my own inner M.M. At one point, I was almost convinced I heard sweet, sweet harmonies. But then I thought, wait...he's merely a man in a class C RV, and that technology doesn't even exist! This is all too much. Yet here I am, strumming idly along, and striving for greatness.

[sybilizzard]

I have to say, even though you taught zilch about how to play it, and you werent walking down a road you were walking about in a carpark by the looks of things, that was the best version of the song you havent actually taught that Ive seen online.😊

[stephenearnshaw]

Fantastic. Loved every minute. Thank you

[juansmith]

Haha, lesson or no, that is awesome, cheeky, enjoyable, beautiful and you're one funny bastard. This really brought a smile to my face.

[sergiopaulo]

He who wants to play and sing does need too many details, only inpiration and follow the practice in the mood the song takes you. You brought I smile to my face here in Brazil. Best teacher. Subscribed

[bonanote]

Great show ....when does the lessons start....how about sharing your learning?

[risahall]

Tom you sing and play it really well but it’s not a lesson if you don’t break it down with chords and the fingerpicking technique. Just sayin ..

[MrFpk]

great video dude, you have to feel the song to explain it that well! love for South Africa

[jesterruth]

When he says go to that place and and stay there my mind immediately says no YOU go to that place and stay there, like who tf made this guy king of the free world

[rocknrollsroyce]

Did anybody recognize that this guy is the only one that got the rhythm right among all those attempts out there? Great job! Helped me a lot! Cheers

[fingeroffang]

Well I've subscribed Tom but I can't find a tutorial for this song which is a shame as you've nailed it.

[joshuroonie]

Funny stuff, brother! Nice fingerpicking, and great tone.
Disregard the haters, they're just bummed they tuned in for a mere 5 minutes and didn't find what they were looking for.


P.S. how come Brits do such a good "western" drawl?? Hoping the flattery entices you to do some more Fred Neil covers, Bleeker & McDougal + The Many Sides of Fred Neil have some serious gems!

[monoped]

fred's version, and his chord patterns are far more fun to play.

[alexmajo]

Tuning B string in A, capo fourth fret

[rongrant]

Too frantic for that song. And where's the lesson?

[mariano]

this is what I want to learn not strumming the chords

[justiceforall]

Silly guitar vid. The song isn't in that key BTW so don't call it a lesson. The song was in E with a capo on the fourth fret.

[nabukotomflynn]

I got what I needed, thanks. It would be a lot better if you didn't come across like a Mathew Mcowhatever...he really jerks my chain. Be yourself and start walking your own road (or drive).
