I am simply blown away that you haven't heard of this song before. Unbelievable actually.
Thanks for the lesson!

[jimmeiss]

I have struggled for years to get the strumming pattern correct. Thanks for the great lesson!!!

[goshitomayores]

That was a masterpeace! Thank you so much for such a great lesson!

[juli]

you explain so good, also, can you do others songs of bill withers? like lonely town lonely street, or steppin right along, are a nice songs that you could like. thanks for the lesson!

[LRoshae]

This was one of the best sounding and comprehensive tutorials. I’m excited!

[PurpleCondor]

Thank you Mr. Bradley! I love this version of the song. You did a really good job with the tutorial for my level. I was struggling to get the strum right and you broke it down for me. Now I can sing and play the song. Good job!

absolutely great video and and love the funky style too

[ozjay]

Wow.... I have to say, how impressive and fascinating it was to watch such an educated (where did you go to school?j and talented musician work through and teach this song!!
I couldn’t have asked for more.
(Side note)
Maybe Bradley was joking...? But I was totally surprised when he said it was the first time he had heard this song haha
But hey.. everyone can’t see, hear and know everything.

Most importantly, A Big Thanks to Bradley for putting in the time to make this video.

Nice. Thanks for explaining the strumming of funk. I’ve been looking for this kind of tutorial

[AliciaandScott]

and you picked the finest version of the tune!

[cygnusfloyd]

What's crazy is I just needed the voicing for the two chords he was using because I found the rhythm easy to play. I'm the kind of guy that when you start breaking it down and showing how technical it is I loose all sense of how it's done. If someone were to ask me how I did a riff or lick I wouldn't be able to explain it to them because I have problems with patterns and when I analyze it, it brakes down.

[MyChrisfish]

Sweet! Thanks for taking the time to break down thay strum. To cool my fishy friend

[Daieb]

Damn, you are a great teacher. Make sure your video isn't delayed, might need a new camera because the audio/strumming is off.

[mcdonaldarendolff]

Thanx for that.... I wanna request another sonr of bill withers.... "i want to spend the night with you" thanx again

[weemarky]

[roembaur]

What is the minor version of this chord voicing?

[uzomaobasi]

What type of style is this? Is this rhythm guitar?

[matthieucastilho]

I would love to learn guitar just to play Bill's tunes. How should I start learning?
