There have been a ton of tutorials on this song but none of them sound exactly like the Dylan studio version--until yours. I've been playing this one for a few years but I've always known my version was just "off" somehow. Looking forward to going through your version, it sounds f&%K*ng perfect.

This is by far the best version on the internet. One tiny comment- it would be much more helpful (for me at least) to have the right hand zoomed in on rather than the left because the chords are easy enough to look up whereas the actual picking is very difficult to see.

When I first heard this song I loved how beautiful that hammer on during the G sounded. I *needed* a video that would teach the song properly and this one nailed it. Thanks a ton.

[midomaged]

Man! Bob Dylan is my favorite artist! And I love your tutorials of those goldies - tears in heaven and now don't think twice!
Thank you so much :)

[jimclip]

Dude you crushed it, you really nailed the nuance of this brilliant piece by the master.

[germanfast]

I really thought only the intro would take me months 😭 I got it in a few days im so happy. Thank you

[musicheinaudite]

Thank you for teaching this incredible lesson, with all the beautiful nuisances and details of this great song.

[stanleyturrentine]

I've been playing this one for many years ... wrong. I'm going to dive in on this and pick up these licks. Thanks John!

[RandMMadness]

thank you brother this has been my favorite song since I was a boy and I never could get the exact picking for it but youve hit the nail on the head here

[Snooknuggets]

Been looking at tutorials for this song for months and I haven’t committed to any of them because they didn’t sound like the original. Yours does so I’m committing the next few weeks to this. Thanks for the time you put in. 🤙

[jguitar]

Finally someone who’s plays it correctly

[Aldoistaken]

Wow thank you so much for this, I've been playing a "streamlined" version for a while and couldn't decipher what I was actually hearing on the record but this sounds perfect, looking forward to tackle that one!

[eleanora.c.h]

This was a great lesson. took me a week to nail it! Thank you :)

[BrianFunaro]

This is a good quality video and lesson piece. Thank you.

[FSeanConroy]

I have seen this cover done many times by a capo on 5th but now playing this on 4th it sounds more to the Dylan version. Now I don't think twice, I think it's alright :).

[erprofessore]

A great big thank you! I've just completed learning the song and I'm on top of the world ❤

[imannonymous]

This was a tough one, I've been playing it for years now...but it took me hours a day for months.

But to all trying, this lessons accurate and you'll get there, great song.
Break a leg, not ur thumb. Lol

[dieselman]
