 – Tutorial (Part 1)')){kind=link}
I am so glad I have found this video! I have been struggling with the intro for months, determined not to be defeated by the ‘big hand’ issue and waiting with the rest of the song until I have cracked it! What I don’t understand though, is why all of the tabs I have found have a drop D tuning when the only recorded version I have found is in C🤔
Tim says "you'll need massive hands to play some of these chords"
All of us looking down in shame at our tiny hands 🤣
This is such a good video. You are a wonderful player and teacher. Subbed and patrioned.
Thanks for the lesson 🙏👍🏻
where can I find part II?
I wish I could've seen my expression when he said "don't worry, I'm going to show you an alternative" xD. What a legend. Great lesson.
Hi Tim, I started watching your first tutorial on this song 3 months ago thinking my thumbs are too short and I would never be able to do it; 3 months later I am playing this song at camp fire where my friends told me how amazing it sounds! I realized that thumbs or hand size may make this song hard to play, but with practice and patience these hurdles can be overcome!
Thanks for the video Tim, you have my thumb Up👍
Very inspiring
Thanks for the alternative chords in the intro
Another great tutorial..🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Those who wait is easy as compared to Tommy's other songs. Fuel and endless road are most difficult. What was your toughest song to learn Tim?
