How I Play the Intro to "Can't You See" by MTB (Tutorial) 

For GuitarSwan: The first song I learned and performed at my local open mic was this song and it was because of you. That was back in 2011 when I was a much younger man then lol. I really hope that you see this. Because that time in my life was so much better in many ways. I remember watching that video of you playing this song over and over. I would sit in my room for 6 to 8 hours per day in those first 2 or 3 years playing. I want you to know that I am SO SO THANKFUL FOR YOUR VERSION OF THIS SONG. I am actually tearing up thinking of watching your video and the way things were. Thank You for your video and Thanks to you I am still picking the hell out of guitars bud.

Great job, thats the only good flute transcription Ive heard from anyone.

Thanks Nick! I always loved that video you did back then. One of my favorite songs. This is a great help.

Best tutorial on RU-vid mate! You really capture the spirit of the song. Kudos! 👍👍

Thank you. Can’t wait to hear more. For what it’s worth, I’d vote for American Girl. Your acoustic arrangement (with the rocking right hand) is the definitive version of the song for me now.

Thanks for transcribing the flute intro! Have played the song for years but never took time to learn the flute parts on guitar. Great job and thank again! Rock on bro!

I have watched the video several times over the years. Love it.

II cannot wait to hear more. So cool how you actually do your sounds...

great job bro I can really feel it gonna find the other vid you were talking about . hope you do a lot more , fantastic

Thank you! I emailed you years ago and asked you to teach this. I love the intro and this is the way it I want to play it.

I watch so many of these tutorials as I try to learn guitar. Yours, by far, are my favorites

Seen Marshall Tucker band quite a few times 👍 Great clarity on how to do play this song. 👍 Thanks 👍

Love this, Very awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Really like your arrangement! Thanks for sharing your techniques!

You do a good job Nick, thanks! I've been a subscriber for quite a while and you have helped me numerous times, I might accidentally get up your way one day, road trip :)

Thank you for this. Is sounds reallt awesome! I will take note for my next open mic! Thank you so much for showing us this!

Cool! Currently learning this one... I like this style best.

Copping the flute solo is a cool aproach. Ive toyed with the idea of busking this tune but struggled with the damn intro.. so thank you

I love this, I am in the process of making it good. Among other things you show us, we are reminded that you don't need boutique guitars to rock.

Thanks been watching since you put it up 10 years ago....always come back to it!! Would love to have you do some tunes in your style where you break down the triads a bit more...maybe like simple ones like you said that can be played relatively easily all over the neck. I find that's a great learning tool...practical and theoretical at the same time. Thanks for posting from Chi-town!!

That sound is awesome it really puts some gusto in the song Thanks brother

Thank you very much for you & TJ . Great post

Great playing and beautiful guitar. Wunderful song. 🎶😊

Niice. Always wanted to learn this classic. Thanks a ton, son. Subscribed.

Hey Nick...awesome flute translation...Thank you. 🤘🎸😎

Really nice! Like you said it's what you make of it, a great way to get the flute imtro in. Thanks!

Thanks.. great teaching style.

Beatiful playing, very soulful ❤

Awesome sound awesome lesson. Well done sir!!

Great video brotha love this!

Good job. Really enjoyed it.

Good Lesson, easy to follow. Thanks

Awesome instant fan. I'm 20 year experienced Intermediate home guitar/Open Mics.. I always look up different covers to figure how I'll decide to do it. I can tell I'll be working on this way but determined, one of the few songs easier to remember all the words 😂

Loved this thank you

Great video!!!

Very nice!

DUDE You are Awesome man what a great job

Wow.. this is the second lesson I've watched. My first (blue sky) was a real treat to have found... you're two for two bud, ..its been alot of fun to have you walk me through this intro..I really like your sound and your teaching style,. ..these two lessons will keep me busy for the next two weeks...Im no natural by any stretch...lol.. but I enjoy the process.. Peace, Steve

Fantastic!

Great job, thanks

Exquisite.

Great video cover offering.

Nick, man you know your shit, how to transpose flute onto guitar. You make every song you play some much better with all the little do dads you add. I just copied all the notes for the first part without the triad onto paper. Now it is time to practice. I hope I sound close , great job, keep up the great work!

What’s that little guitar lick you are doing during the verse on g chord?

Killer job playing

That's freakin' good.

wow thank you for this demonstration, how you sound, thank you thank you thank you

Klasse !!!

Please do a All I Can Do Is Write About It tutorial next!

Great tutorial, would you consider doing one on the version of Blue Sky you did a few years back on the hill by the church!

nice

Beauty

Kick ass brother

Doin Toy and the boys proud.

Sounds cooler then the original almost

Ty much nice

Thanks...still practicing n sounding better

Hey guy, thank you for doing can you see is my brothers favorite song and I’m trying to learn the intro is there any way you have the tab for it?

Nick you know one I'd love to see; how you did it, the way you tuned it is the Allman Brothers ain't wasting time no more. you did that a couple years ago that was an awesome one but I didn't know what kind of tuning you were using but it sure came out sounding sweet😎

Thanks

Got you a 000 ? That thing sounds great !! Yo .... thanks, !!!

I'm a beginner I got the whole thing great job teaching all except for the part where your hands behind the microphone I still don't know how to play that part

🌹W🌹O🌹W❤ Well done!

i have a flute but i'm a smoker and i cant play the damn thing. i like your hats. i wear those kind too, along with flannels and a beard. it's weird we kind of look alike except i have a northern accent.

good playing wished i could have seen moore of the hand finger moves too fast mic in the view path good playing though hope to see moore of you

We didn’t have a flute 😄…

Not with my short stubby fingers mate!

How bout “son of a preacher man” … would be nice to have a more creative way to play it through…
