How to play 'Fields Of Gold' by Sting 

Have always loved this tune. The way you break it down is very easy to absorb, thank you.

This has been one of my favourite songs for years and years.

First time I’ve watched a lesson by you, really enjoyed watching I’m going to get my guitar out again and get myself started learning to play again.

2nd song bookmarked to learn from you. You are truly a great teacher! I am beginner and the way you demonstrate how to play makes it so fun and easier.

Great channel, Shane, you really corner the market on concise, advanced-beginner level acoustic songs that anyone would want to have in their repertoire.

Love the way you show how the solo comes from the D major scale. Haven't seen that before. And I've been apprehensive about using my looper but this is encouraging. Thanks for the video and loads of tips.

What a beautiful solo. Thank you for this.

Great Job🤩 love the format!

Thank you so much for all the free lessons Shane. You're a great musician. God bless you 😇🙏

Nice, Shane, Thank you! Always enjoy your tutorials😎! Glad to see you safe & well😊!

Thanks Shane for this amazing video. This song is so beatiful. You are a great teacher and a guitar player.

Great lesson. Love the office changes. Congratulations on 70k subscribers, cant believe your not up in the millions..... any way , Thanks mate.🎸

Thank you ! You do the best instruction videos EVER. Please don't stop.

So glad to see a new video from you! And that solo...so juicy!

Thank you for the excellent lesson Shane.

it is most enjoyable to listen to your lesson - you are a great sport.

Great stuff Shane, as usual! One of my favourite songs and my wife loves me playing it!

Great lesson as always

Fantastic lesson - absolutely love it - thanks again 👍

Been trying to get a grip on this beautiful song. Now, thanks to you, I've got it!

Great lesson - much enjoyed! (Uxbridge, ONT)

You are terrific Shane!

Another great one Shane. Will be practicing hard to learn this one.

Nice lesson. Relaxed style easy to follow.(Lovely tone on your guitar.)

Thanks for the tips! Great stuff and a new subs!

Great lesson! Really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thank you!!

Super thanks…I learned my Bm by playing my A minor with middle -ring -baby then it was easy to play all Barr chords up the neck.

Thanks mate..nice video - wonderful song!

Shane you are AWESOME!!!

You always do such a nice job!

Love the videos! Keep up the good work!

Shane, this is spectacular! I LOVE this song. You're a fine musician but it seems to me you were born to teach! Thanks. Kevin O'Rourke

Fantastic lesson Shane, thank you 🙏

Very excited, thank you!

This is a great lesson. Thank you so much for uploading it. I have recently decided to take up the guitar again and this is by far one of the best explanations I have come across on how to play this song. I find your teaching clear, easy to follow and engaging. Thanks.

Thanks Shane for another great lesson.

Beautiful job

Thank you ! Well done.

Love it Shane keep up the good work🥰🥰🥰

Hey Shane. Love your lessons they have been important to my "guitar journey" (especially the Gordo songs!). The string "wacking" is a challenge for me to pick up as you teach and also in other songs like CCR have you ever seen the rain. I feel like the bar chords (B minor here) give a good sound but open chords not so good. it also seems to be helped by releasing the pressure with the left hand while staying on the chord? And lastly, this wacking sound does not appear in any videos of this song I can find. It is all strings and synth sounds. Is the wacking sound simply a way for the single guitarist/singer to perform it with some beat short of using backing tracks or playing with others? Thanks for all of your amazing lessons and materials!

Really enjoy your commentary!

Great lesson buddy, something for me to work on, greetings from Northern Ireland

Hey Shane, thanks for the shoutout! Great tune to add to the repertoire 😊

Wow that was fun to do, and hard to keep up. 10 more times. Great tutorial.

Fantastic explanation regarding the strumming pattern, something I always struggle with. But I'm even more amazed by the "pull the elbow back" for the b-minor. Maybe it's something most people do naturally but I for sure didn't. Just the thought of pulling the elbow back a bit now saves all my bar chords. I really had one of those "omg-that's -how-you-do-it" moments. Great video as always, thank you!

Great lesson, thank you, I’ve had a frozen shoulder so Bar chords are a bit of a killer.

‘Behind Blue Eyes’, please. Love your work and videos.

Thanks. Good stuff

One of my favorite songs, thank you Shane nice lesson. If you are incline to do so have a listen to Eva Cassidy's version, just amazing.

Hey Shane , Awesome, Awesome, Awesome !! Thank you Shane ! Ken , the old vet .

Fantastic lesson, thanks Shane, great patience taking us slowly through everything with simple explanation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You are a good pedagogy

What effects do you have when your soloing? Great job

This beautiful song from Sting isn't "whack", but I'll add those whacks the best I can. Lol.😅 Great job Shane, excellent tutorial. Ty.😊👍

Nice

Can you show how to play Collin raye oneboy,onegirl. Love that song. Thanks

What guitar is that? What is the cost ? It’s so good!

I'm working hard on the whack strum. I had never thought to enhance it with the pick. I have a question about the 8 bars of bm. Could I break it up with bm7? On the 3+ part of the strum? Just on a couple bars in that 8 bars of bm.

Hi Shane, love your work and really getting a lot out of the instruction. I have a question though - maybe I'm missing something (and I mean no criticism or disrespect) but you describe the verse format as the same thru to the bridge (tag line etc). The progression you explain the verses as, starts at 9:37 ("right from the Bm, follow along...") and you play: Bm G G D | Bm (GD)(GA) Bm | (BmG) D D. Then at 10:30 you state "second verse the same, third verse the same". However, (and this is where I get confused) when you play through the song, both at the slow pace and normal speed, there seems to be a variation in that pattern between some of the verses... In the slow play through commencing at 11:53 1st Verse: Bm G G D | Bm (GD)(GA) Bm | (BmG) D D - and this is exactly as you described earlier. But then in Second verse, commencing 12:25, we have Bm G G D | Bm (GD)(GA) D... There is a D there instead of going straight to the Bm and you say at about 12:45 "Right to the third verse, go..." and into the same structure as the first verse. So I'm confused about how there are two verse formats and not sure if that should be obvious as I can't really sing and play at the same time so I can't make sense of it. The explanation is so clear I feel like I must be missing something to do with the different lengths of the lines in the verses or something. Can you clarify please? Thanks very much in advance and please keep up the awesome tutorials!

Excellent lesson thank you , just wondering Shane , which model of Taylor guitar is that sounds lovely. Cheers

Hi. I don’t play guitar but am hoping to learn how to play this song for my wife- I have 2 years to learn ! Couldn’t find the song on your patreon. Thanks.

Never thought of using the pick on the wack, great tip for us novices.

If your fingers are running out of power, push your elbow out, away from your body. Your fingers become a powerful clamp. If you move your thumb towards the nut, you get even more squeeze on the strings and neck, without killing your hand and fingers.

I really like this song. Glad I found the lesson. Question - How'd you end the song, the Beat Buddy and the Looper precisely at the same time?

Hello Shane, just signed up at Patreon for the $10.00 level, however I never saw a spot for my email, didn't see a tab chart, and the message tab didn't light up. What now? Thanks, love the lessons. Scott Poapst

Thanks for lesson Shane . B minor has turned my hand into a claw 🤔 Any chance of once by Liam Gallagher ?? Chris from UK 🤘

I will dedicate the rest of my life to coming to grips (ha ha) with the Bm. I usually cheat by avoiding the bar with this one but I will bite the bullet...

Can You please teach "Fly Me To The Moon" by Frank Sinatra

Could you do a lesson for acoustic guitar on Dan Fogelberg’s song “The Power of Gold” there are no lessons on RU-vid. Thanks.

Shane...You want to hear the BEST version EVER of this song?!! Eva Cassidy on RU-vid. Also, check out her Danny Boy rendition.... PHENOMENAL!! JAMIE :)

Eva Cassidy’s version was the best.

Double D. 🤣🤣

What’s all this wacking about? Nick nack paddy wack! Less waffle and get on with the song!

I gave up listening after 6 minutrs of Bm and down up down and wack.

shallow and not what Dominc miller would play

It’s not how Sting plays this.
