The way you are contorting your fingers (in the verse) to get that D/C chord (where you're barring with your index finger) doesn't make sense. Why not just keep holding the D shape with your 3 fingers and use your 4th finger to play the C note?
Excellent thank you
Muchas gracias por enseñar la forma correcta de tocar Dear Prudence como debe ser…felicitaciones por el video!..excelente!!
Thank you for such a clear and effective way to play this (apparently simple) style/pattern. Peaceandlove.
There was an old VHS tape and I can’t remember the name of the guitar player who had this lesson along with Julia and another that shared the same picking pattern. There are a couple of spots where there is a minor change in the picking pattern I believe on Julia. But these are excellent songs and like anything worthwhile it takes time to commit them to muscle memory. But once you have that down, it’s fantastic you just sing and don’t even think about your fingers anymore. The funniest thing, don’t expect Non musicians to appreciate the time and effort it takes to do something like this, but other guitar players will be wowed.
One of the keys to this once you work your way down the neck to where the song versus begins as I always tell people, when you’re doing the walk down, you have to keep that sharp covered on top. There are so many songs where you pulled it off on the walk down but this isn’t one of them and it makes a huge difference in the sound.
Excellent video!
I’ve always wanted to sit down and play this the right way. Once you get the picking pattern on auto pilot it transforms to beautiful music. Thank you!!!!
my favourite channel, no BS just the music
Thanks to you I was able to play it in one afternoon
Thank you for sharing this mate
Reminiscent of Goin To California fingerpicking…fuckin brilliant ????
Не знаю английский язык, но, и так понятно.. интуитивно, понимая, что происходит.. будет время – обязательно вернусь к этому обзору/уроку – это одна, из любимых мной, композиций The Beatles.. спасибо! ✌????
D chord in this tuning is a beast. Never knew it since I learn this song. But, I feel like the very first picking of the song sounds better with the first and the fourth string. The next chord goes like you suggest; the first and the fifth.
Why don’t you perform the song via picking and the end of your video?
Ive have trouble on the bass note….sometimes ill strike the D string first instead of A…quite confusing in the intro….????????????
Very nice lesson. Thank you from Italy.
Clearly John was a ,uch better guitarist than he is usually given credit for
I have a crazy, purely speculative theory on this song – I question whether John Lennon actually played the guitar intro to this song. Has never struck me as his style of playing and he wasn’t known for being a Travis picking guitar player. Anyway, it’s entirely possible I’m completely wrong. But it’s never felt right to me.
A really fantastic job !!! A big thumbs up to you teacher. ❤
Absolutely a great job on the illustration. You made that so easy to learn. A big thumbs up!
I can already finger pick and i dunno y it took me so long to learn this. Lol. I aont the best but i do alright. And love this damn song.
Nice lesson of this great tune.
The D/C-Chord is an asshole.
Nice lesson. On the intro first bar you show 14-12-14 (GBe) going to 12-10-12. Sounds good. I saw another tab 11-10-12 for second chord position. I’ll stick with your interpretation.
Would the picking pattern be similar to Julia? I am just learning to pick from your "Julia" video. I finally got it good enough to sound close. Dear Prudence is another song I have always wanted to play. I would be curious to know how many songs use a similar picking style.
best instruction I've heard. drop d travis picking kicks butt. this tutorial is a major challenge I accept. this song been in my head since 1969
Would anybody be able to write down the tabs for this on a comment? As a beginner/intermediate player I’m having difficulty following the order of things and the right frets etc on the intro alone. There’s not a better teacher on YouTube so thank you for enriching my life with your tutorials. It brings me so much joy to accomplish learning some of my favorite songs that I never thought I could play.
This truly good Dude is like Wilson from Home Improvement. Faceless, behind the fence, offering wisdom, …except he's a guitar Genius.
thanx I,m not stressed now ha
I've said it before, I'll say it again…Andy, you're the only one that really nails the originals as they deserve…on top of that you convey it to all of us in a simple yet precise way…on top of that my perception is that you're not only skillful and musically knowledgeable, but also a kind and generous person. Keep on. Thanks.
At 70 now and learning this off the vinyl lifting the needle up when this albumn actually came out decades ahead of the internet you all have it made and a tutor like this????????well done my man and exactly perfect and yes i wore out pretty much atleast a couple albumns each teachin myself the structure of the tunes ???? thank GOD for a decent job Christmas and birthdays and a girlfriend or two ???? ????
Really appreciate your style of teaching these courses with the black background, it helps in not getting distracted. Your abilities as a instructor is well thought out.Keep up the good work. Love all the Beatles songs..if only I could sing.omg.
So many life-long guitar players here with over 50 years experience!!! Were teens in 60s 70s!!!!
I’m going to kill myslef
I just cannot explain the strange, fascinating sensations that this intro gives me. It sounds like Greek psychedelia from 2000 BC played atop an alien spaceship. I don’t know. I just can’t explain.
Good Lesson, Thank You
It's much easier to keep the D shape the same for the second chord, using the pinky to play the C.
Great tutorial thanks. I find it easier though to play the D string with my first finger though, as opposed to my thumb. Is this ok or should I use my thumb? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
This is the best tutorial of this song I have found online. The picking pattern is tricky but it's worth sticking with till you get it right. Great work! I will be watching this over and over!
You're Taylor Mini sounds great…
Deeeer Pruudentt-ssssss…….
