Pat Donohue teaches "Ain't Misbehavin'" 

i was so proud of the fancy way i did this tune ... and then i watched this ... back to the drawing board. just gorgeous. THANKS!

Pat Donohue is in the elite circle of acoustic guitar players who are pure musicians with impeccable technique and an intuitive sense of melody and harmony. His brilliant arrangements are true to the original. And his execution is flawless. His instruction videos are simply the best I have ever seen . Pat is a great teacher. I'm sure there must be a flaw somewhere.... ;-0

Dude VICIOUSLY nails it!

I saw Pat at a little gig in Elizabethtown Ky in 99-2000. This is one of the tunes he did that evening. He was amazing! I'd never seen acoustic slide guitar first hand until I saw Pat doing "Mud Slide" that night. I still remember his performance after all these years.

How often do you get to hear a master explain chords and placement like this. God bless you, Mr. Donohue. Beautiful stuff.

brilliant recording! I am learning a lot from this. I am punching a bit above my weight here, but this is very informative. I love the way he puts a "pianistic"effect to this tune. He also doesnt go overboard with the jazz chords, even embelishing with some country harmonizations. Thank you to the kind soul uploading this for all of us to learn and it's always great to meet a new player you hadnt heard of. truly great stuff, alhough to learn you really have to divide your brain in different sections, I struggly the most with the right hand .Thanks for uploading!

This is a master class in guitar harmonization. It's sad that some are too musically challenged to recognize it. Or maybe they think that criticism of others will make them more important than they really are in this world. Having met and talked to Pat, I consider him not only a great musician, but a true gentleman. I'm sorry that his gift to us lesser guitarists is such an affront to wannabes.

great job Pat ...there are so many variations and chord substitutions involved ...actually a lot of fun. Thanks for breaking this down.!

Awesome arrangement! Pat never leaves ya hanging

Gee Pat, this is making my head explode... And I Love it ! Thank you. 👍🏼

this is the best guitar version I have seen anywhere!! I'm trying to play it as shown and I gotta say its tricky

Great job, I love the way you describe the one lick as "pianistic!" Thank you Pat.

great player, great sound and great lesson.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THOSE BEAUTIFUL CHORD PROGRESSIONS!

Wonderful . Thanks you for a look at your soul. I am going to learn this from you .Thank You Ken Wentworth Bangor Maine

Thank you so much Pat. Extremely helpful.

Thanks for sharing your passion.

God bless you for giving that fantastic video.You rock!!!

Thanks Pat - I'm going to be so happily studying this for some time - will stop me misbehaving. You're are an excellent teacher and guitarist (not always a happy combination). Mucha gracias

NO WONDER U SMILE WHEN U PLAY. A JOY 2 HEAR

Thanks for noting Fats Waller in this arrangement. Tricky stuff and extensive practicing!

This is just so good. I think I learned more studying this for the last 4 hours than I have in the last 2 months. I just bought the DVD, its only fair. I came here studying Leon Redbone, there's an odd dearth of his stuff on RU-vid. Its really interesting to hear the differences in his version and Pat Donohue's. In general Leon has much fewer changes, though they both have lots of harmonic movement. I transcribed this (and working on Leon's), if anyone wants me to post, reply here.

Pat, you're a really good man. Thanks for sharing !

A piano classic, love it

love it, great picking. and a real nice guitar too

I always enjoyed Pat as guitarist on Prairie Home Companion. He is a very stylish guitarist.

I did take some jazz guitar lessons many years back and I`m glad I did. Knowing the different augmented and diminished patterns and so forth. I have never been a finger pickin` player but that's all right. I can use what I know to perform this tune. By the way, awesome pickin` Pat.

Brilliant! one of my favorites

You nailed it. Your rendition has the bounce of Waller's piano. Which is rare. Too many others "over jazz" it with altered chords etc. that don't work.

This is excellent! Time to save up my change. I want both DVDs!

Great stuff, Pat!

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!! been waiting for a good version to learn im a happy bunny!!!! thanks mr uploader

Holy shit what a video. This guy is so great.

Well Pat, it is an active pattern to play but you just do it so well. 👏. I'll fumble thru for a few years and maybe it'll be close

Hi ,really enjoyed learning this and playing it, nice piece. I can not believe how rude some of the comments are and how sad these people must be. Thanks

God DAMN this seriously incredible

Sounds great!

great playing........

wow , thanks man. u made my day with this!!! GOOOOOD JOOB!

Thanks for this.

This guy is awesome! I'm just going to practice, strumming the chords. Then I'll try the finger picking.

Simply perfect !

Thanks

Oh cool .. let's see your version !!

PURE

Ugh. Too damn good.

DANG!!!

Pat, are those top cracks running down from the bridge in that beautiful Somogyi? I have similar cracks (repaired) in my Collings. Enjoyed staying up playing with you all night at my campground at Winfield about ten years ago. Thanks to you and Stephen Bennet for letting me sit in. And I got a lot out of your workshop, too. Thank.

WOW

About 30 views but i got it a new world opened thanks !

Pat's fingers surely ain't misbehaving.

in reply to wrybread - yes I would like a copy of the Tab also......

What are the 2 raised lines running and the back of the sound board, behind the bridge. A trick of light perhaps??

Gtr Workshop class this as Level 3 which I think is 'Intermediate'.So what would they call 'Advanced' FFS!

Did he say "A# Diminished garden variety"? lol

Who are these 16 people who don't love this!???

The player is great,but that guitar he plays...no ordinary instrument at all:it's a Somogyi! Great sound too.

Where can I find his lessons

What kind of fingerpicks is Pat using?

So talented he actually teaches Over The Hills and Far Away simultaneously starting at 2:39 lol

oh yeah, work dat thumb son! :)

With a bit of practice, this guy could turn it pretty good!

Fats never felt more at his ease.

I suck

you can get away with so much if you just do it in natural guitar keys

Show off. I was looking for something a little more simpler .

Well you know how to curse, let's see if you know how to play guitar !!

A non-systematic tutorial, not clear but deeply confused. Great guitarist but lousy teacher.
