Here is a SUPER guitar song - an absolutely essential classic for sure. Join me as we go slowly through the chord changes, strumming patterns, and further detail before ripping right into a full speed playalong toward the end of the video. So fun!

If I or someone else hasn't already said this; you are #1 a talented guitar player, #2 an excellent teacher, with encouraging words for newer players and helpful tips and finally #3 the "play along" puts you clearly in the lead for best on youtube. This is something that all should be doing rather than teaching bits and pieces (verse, chorus, bridge etc) of the song and leaving out getting to play the whole thing. This way we know exactly how to put the pieces together.

@GuitarAtWork 2 года назад

Thank you Clinnyboy - that is absolutely the whole point of this whole thing and I am very grateful to you for articulating it. Thanks for being here and taking the time to comment - hugely appreciated! Shane

@michaelworse6034 Год назад

You are that kind of teacher who takes his students with you , because they can’t help , all they want to be is right by your side , to play what you are playing. Awesome !

@juansaver5636 Год назад

seen lots and lots of guitar teachers and you are so natural and fun and full of lots of quite useful details to make it sound so easy, you really make it to the top!!!! FANTASTIC

@GuitarAtWork Год назад

Thank you Juan. I really appreciate you. Cheers! Shane

Can't wait to try this. I don't know about others, but I like to watch it a couple of times before even touching my guitar. Just now, I was doing dinner dishes, rocking out and getting psyched to try it. My wife started singing as well as this is an anthem from our youth. Thanks again, SS.

@GuitarAtWork 3 года назад

Thank you Doc - always happy to hear from you. I think it's a great idea to watch the whole thing through at first with no guitar to get a sense of the pacing etc. Great to have you here with us! Shane

@andrewboyd2023 3 года назад

Doctor, you have it right, listen before playing. You’re a lucky man, my wife is a pure jazz funk girl…

@clintonmiller4917 3 года назад

Really great idea. I’m gonna start to do that. I can see that being beneficial. Love this channel. He’s just the kind of person that helps my skill level.

Great lesson! Thanks so much. I tried playing this years ago, but now's the time!

@careyw3161 7 месяцев назад

Great lesson, Shane. There are lots of great guitar players on RU-vid, but not that many are great teachers. You are. Just the right amount of explanation, good clear demonstrations showing us exactly what you're doing, and then the opportunity to play along with what you have just shown us. Your manner is also easy going and unstressful. Nothing but high marks from me.

@jaimeconnell6365 3 года назад

Thanks bro! I’m a slower learner as far as skills and I was tackling this fun number just recently before your video came along! I needed this! I’m used to easy country strumming on the beat, so this rock inspired acoustic is new. I just want to jab and mangle this just like the song makes you feel like doing!!

@roxyc4438 2 года назад

@pancakeface5717 2 года назад

You always seem to get the song right. Amazing and appreciated. I heard Mr. Mellencamp never cared for the "Cougar" handle. It was a marketing thing he later dropped.

@dr.phillsheila9105 2 года назад

Shane --Thanks for another great lesson. Your expertise in teaching is simple and easy to understand and very thorough.. I am an average player but can duplicate your instructions easily and lets me feel like an advanced or expert player--for sure enjoyment on my part! Your ability and information are excelled by your enthusiasm and high energy--very positive for whoever is out there watching you. I don't know if you actually read these posts but my words are sincere. Keep up the great work...

this is very good and fun, plus a way to jam without having to phone up one's musician pals. You are so very Canadian, and I mean that in the nicest way. :) Reminds me how I miss my Canadian friends.

Thanks Shane, hello from Scotland. Mellencamp is so underrated, thanks for putting this up.

@chadlong1109 3 года назад

Did he have hits in the UK? I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s in his home state of Indiana, so to me he’s got at least 20 hits I’ve heard a million times.

@andrewboyd2023 3 года назад

Hi Chad, I’ve been following this guy since I Need A Lover was a minor hit in the UK. I think he’s as important as Springsteen, writes and sings about stuff we can all relate to, whether in Stirling, Scotland or Indiana.
