What a great way to do a RU-vid lesson, to show you teaching someone else how to play a song. The expected hesitancy from the novice student but showing how she quickly gets the idea, makes the process so real and I would expect, very encouraging for other novices looking at it.
Exactly what I wanted to show. Every lesson I’ve taught on here moved fast and seamlessly; whilst that is good content for you to watch it’s not the reality of practicing an instrument or part of a song. Each part takes a minute to understand, five minutes to build a bit of fluency, an hour more to memorise etc. Hopefully this video gives beginners a positive reality check and boosts their confidence like you said. 🙌🏻
@@SpedSpedding excellent on so many levels.. your patience is beyond amazing.. so precise is your ability to recreate your skills in others.. it’s unmatched perfection. I’ve decided it’s the art of instruction.. The atmosphere, the novelty of teaching Gab to play live adds enchanting 🎸melodic🤫lyrical😎anticipation 🥰with inflections of🤘flair in your delivery &🔥story power with massive cred🍻your genius is shining. Thank you so much.
This brings me back to when I was first learning guitar, the slow frustration of getting the chords in place. But so satisfying when it starts to come together. Well done Gab, great teacher you have there :-)
Well done to both of you. I remember the first time I got down the finger picking of this - what a feeling. If ever I pick up an acoustic its my go to sequence.
I’ve put super light strings on it for her. Tuning is a bit sketch but she’s happy on it for now. She tried some guitars weekend but said she’s not ready for her own yet. Wants to know more about them. 🙌🏻✨
Great fun to watch this. I liked that she immediately took exception to thinking her thumb was being described as a “right fat wedge.” Ha … you go, girl!
Yup. That's how it goes when learning. But Sped!! So serious. Haha. Look forward to Gab's next progression vid. I'm a terrible "finger picker". Can you make a tecknique video? With all your awesome camera angles?😁✌
When there’s a client involved, I’m IN THE ZONE. Gab is one of my top clients. 😂❤️ Yeah maybe I’ll do a normal lesson on this tune without Gab but we can check back in on progress now and then.

Or, just a thought, better camera angles on the next vid and we can play along. Please keep Gab in the vid for this song. It's a fun change of pace. Thanks for the fast responce. You guys have a good day. 🙂
Hey congratulations, it sure as hell isn’t easy and much more difficult if you’re recording it 😫 , never mind on RU-vid , so this is fantastic, well done 👍
Thank you Lee! She did super well for a first time playing on RU-vid. And genuinely first time we’ve sat down with a guitar each in lesson format. Excited to see her journey. ✨
Great vid sped. Very patient & easy to understand. Again beautiful couple best to you both. I’m gonna be teaching my granddaughter to play she loves the Beatles.
@@SpedSpedding she loves blackbird sings it all the time she’s 6 years old. My son bought her a Yamaha acoustic for Christmas. Guess I did a decent job of raising my kids lol. For the most part good taste in music. I’ll start with maybe all together now some easier things but she wants her poppa as she calls me to teach her blackbird lol.
I may do that at some point. Not a huge collector to be honest. Spent my early years touring so much and never had a penny to spend on stuff. I’m still building. I honestly believe I still haven’t found the one; my favourite guitar yet. 🔥
This was one of the first songs for fingerpicking I looked at, roughly ten years ago. It helped getting a better understanding of notes within the chords. I never quite managed to do an exact full version, but this has inspired me to take another look at this song. Cheers guys! ✌🏻
@@GabriellaTavini Thank you!!! I play about with my guitar in front of family and friends, but even that feels a little daunting sometimes haha! Wish you all the best on your guitar journey 🎸👍🏻
Our pleasure! I hope you have fun tackling it once more. This time you will nail it for sure. Use this and then maybe if you need a bit more help use your ear, watch live vids or my tab etc.
Wow she's a natural isn't she? I found this easy to follow too - it's the clarity of your explanation (not close ups and angles) that makes it so. Looking forward to part 2? Though I'm gonna have to work hard to keep up with Gab! 🙏🤘🎸
Thanks so much G! She really is, I’ve just come down and she’s put in another half hour on this section and it sounds great. Can’t wait to hear it finished.
Hi, I accidentally found your youtube channel. Interesting video nice to watch (especially you-together). I like the music, theme and atmosphere. From one video I learned about interesting knobs for les paul from Poland. I searched quite a lot on the net and found my model, but they were quite far away and very expensive, the original ones from 1977, the guitar is from the same year. Best regards
We were talking about this ourselves; exactly the same. Can't wait. I might do a video where I teach her he first solo. She's got some basic scales down now.
That song got me into guitarplaying again after dropping it like 10 years before because of multiple fractures (and foolish youth things). Happened to have a guitar in one of the hostels during my latinamerica travel. After that i always asked if the hostel coming up next also had guitars 😂
You just wait my good friend!!!! She will be givin` you lessons soon Sped. This was interesting to watch, and Gab will have her work cut out for her with "Babe". Sped I forgot my password for Patreon, so you have not heard from me in a bit. It is Greg from N.Y. if you give a hoot, HahAaa!! It is great to see you and Gab together, it is a special thing ,love is!! Peace my man.
She's trying to cut a 50% royalties split on this video already. We've got a meeting at 6:41pm about this. I'm bringing my whole legal team. Reset your password via email! 🤣 There's literally a button to do so when you try to log in.
I love this style of video, great for beginners to feel like you’re not going to fast and fun for more experienced players to get insight on teaching. All around awesome video. I’m not sure how open you’d be to the idea, but as a huge zep fan, I love seeing the younger generation feel inspired to play similar music from a newer band that has some very apparent zep influence, and that’s Greta Van fleet. I would love to see you break down a song or two of theirs, I’m personally a fan, but I just think it’d be awesome to see, considering the sparse amount of tutorials for their material on RU-vid. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’ve earned a sub. Cheers
I do like them, I think their songs are strong as well. Maybe I will cover a new one when it drops. They got anything due out soon? I've had my eye off the ball with new stuff so to speak.
So smooth wasn’t she.. learning live must be a challenge in itself & good grief.. unpacking this toughy for your first live.. Good God! Cheers. They are a match.. definitely in brilliance. So encouraging to watch this too as a beginner.. I’m so grateful for this.. their amped up artistic lessons are so beautiful!
Right off the top, Gabriella has proper righthand motion. It's relaxed, firm and nicely balenced. Don't swet the left hand, it will fall into place. All the best
I only discovered Babe I’m gonna leave you last week for the very first time when I listed to a RU-vid best 20 intro’s. It is shear luck I happened on your video featuring a lesson on how to master this song. Gab is a much more accomplished player then I am , and I am self taught. Thinking I was odd not using a pick for years held me back. I ditched the pick and never looked back. These videos are perfect for learning.
F to E "Egyptian" well, Spanish but yes, let's just say exotic. ;) What a great idea this was Sped, like letting us peep in on a private lesson! That Paul sounds killer! Gab's acoustic sounds wonderful also!
Keep at it Gabs and it will start to come together, then you reach the point where you actually start to really enjoy it. Once the enjoyment kicks in (and your finger tips hurt less) you’re away. I’m sure Sped’s told you that already! :-)
This is great Phil! Thanks for the encouragement, she loved it. And you’re right, toughening up the fingers makes a huge difference. Especially the amount of time you can practice. 🙌🏻
Thanks Phil! Yeah I can’t wait for that 🤞🏼 tbh I’m enjoying it already, noticing some small improvements already! 🙂 thanks for your kind words of encouragement
I give her two thumbs up. I believe it's much better for a beginner to get it right than be fast. If you need to stop to get the chord, that's ok. You'll eventually get faster. Great job. Subbed too.
Way to go Sped! I traveled far to see my favorite band ever on May 30, 1977. Landover, MD. Music in the 70s is the best! Led Zeppelin, Who, Floyd, and today there is nothing. The 50s had some good stuff, but then you need to go back to Bach and Beethoven for respectable writing
@@SpedSpedding I knew it was my only chance. We had tickets for Buffalo soon after and the tragedy happened to Robert. I did see them later. Stevie Ray Vaughan opened for Robert , Now And Zen, and then saw the Firm. I wonder what it would have been if Jimmy teamed with Ian Gillian? Your girl is doing great! PS, I love your Les Paul.
I think there's actually a video of Emily teaching it herself online somewhere. One of my Patrons mentioned. I may sling the Tab up there as well as I'm writing it out for Gab as we speak.
I think I love you! I saw the Bron Yr Aur video and was insanely impressed! Then I forgot your name. After searching for HOURS I finally found you, and subscribed! I will be watching everything you have recorded now. Thank you very much for your help. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and at 50 years old I started learning guitar. I live in Alaska, probably the furthest away of all of your fans!
There absolutely would not have been, not my style in the slightest. Talent and passion to play is too precious to potentially scorn with impatience. Even if a lesson tests you. 🙏🏻 ✨
Oh! hell no! You cannot have the gift of playing at such a high level and have a girlfriend that shares the same passion! :) Thank you! This is awesome!
@@SpedSpedding Sped I love your style sir! Everything about you and and your artistic ability is top shelf! Thank you so much for sharing! I grew up a huge Led Zeppelin fan (I'm 65 years along) and it warms my heart to see you enjoy them as well. Your girlfriend is quite good. The best to the both of you! 😊
@@dennispope8299 You’re super welcome, thanks for engaging and interacting with my stuff. Gab is gonna be great, a few years in and she can be writing her own stuff I reckon. It’ll be fun playing together in the future. ❤️
I think your girlfriend has a Whole Lotta Love saved up for her guitar teacher. She much appreciated your abundant patience cause everybody knows that Sped Kills.
Hey i thought females on you tube cloud only play with skin tight see thru clothing!! LoL Shes got more patients then i do.. im like the angry guitarist!! Ha 😋 Way to go Girlfriend!!! Keep it up !!!!
Vous êtes trop beaux tous les deux 🤩👍 Merci pour ces superbes vidéos 👌 À très bientôt et pourquoi pas une vidéo sur "Achilles Last Stand". Un de mes morceaux préféré de Led Zep 😉 Kiss from France 😘🇫🇷
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. We had a lot of fun making this video! Also, I have made that video just a few weeks ago! ❤️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BoHEnvApRtw.html
I can bust out notes beautifully all day long, but when it comes to chords they have always been difficult for me. Keeping them even and fluid for a long time is difficult.
Loved this lesson. What it meant for me was the reminder of where I started. But it also showed me that every beginner has difficulty even when the guitar orientation fits the player. See, I’m a lefty, who has always played right handed guitars. My thought process is, well, I’ve got to use both hands anyway so what does it matter in the end. For fun I tried to play a left handed guitar, and my brain just couldn’t wrap around it. So my thinking is anyone could learn the guitar regardless of orientation. It’s just a matter of practice and determination. I’d love to see more lessons with Gab, she’s just lovely. 👍😁
hey youngster can you play just the chorus part when your pretty girlfriend is singing please or just what are the cords please been playing that song for 40 years i just notice i have been play the chorus part incorrect all that time thank you
This is more than a lesson. What I appreciate is the patience of sped with the misses and the resceptionness of his misses wanting to learn the lesson properly from him. Such a special moment. Thanks for sharing this with us Guys!
You're welcome. Gab is the best student ever, she's so patient and curious, a very quick learn. She's so musical and I'm hugely excited to see where she takes guitar.
haha...takes me back to my guitar teachers days in 1970.....no girls there then....yep....nice....hope you manage to get through it without an argument....but what do i know......maybe i should start teaching my wife.....make christmas and birthday presents MUCH easier.....:-)....haha....
Definitely do, I reckon you would both enjoy playing together. Another person is always more fun than a looper right? And yeah, 2 of everything next christmas! 😂
Love your channel bro cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪your girlfriend looks scared 🤣🤣mine would hit me over the head with the guitar 🎸😂😂great video bro only joking thanks 👌
@@SpedSpedding BTW have you thought about making a tutorial on "Love Spreads" by The Stone Roses? This song is awesome, and you are from Manchester, right?
We will! The video seems to be going down really well. It's nice to show a real lesson on here for a change. Hopefully reminds people that things do really take time and practice to get down. And thank you, that's very sweet! 😍
Thanks Stephen! Glad you’re enjoying it. Makes a change seeing some interaction. Hopefully makes people realise the time it takes to get things is REAL. 💪🏻
Gabs is really good virtually no fret buzzin and amazing clarity esp for acoustic( not easy.) Credit to your teaching and choice of guitar. Yes please some Lindsey Buckingham Peter Green and Mark Knopfler. Would like like to hear you both do Tangerine as its a favourite. You are an excellent teacher
Thank you Julian! That’s wonderful. Yeah you’re right she’s really clean when she plays and anything I give her she gets. I’ve been giving her songs and few bits to test the interest for it but now it’s time to put a regular spot in and teach her EVERYTHING. 🤘🏻🤩
Love your lessons. I’m an intermediate player and can play some songs note for note,however when I try to capture my progress by recording on my IPhone I end up making mistakes. Frustrating…great job Gab btw!
I'm in that same situation you described. I've been playing 5 years now, and I got lazy in my first years, trying to use all my fingers was a challenge... so I said f**k it and get this.... I've been fingerpicking using only my thumb across all 6 strings on my right hand. I've got amazing speed with my thumb, and can play this song as well.... but everything takes me triple the time to learn.
Yeah it’s very common Henry! When I first went to lessons in my early teens having self taught myself for a while I had a really weird right hand position and never used my pinky on the left. Teacher encouraged me to change both and I did. Difficult at first but worth it. Are you trying to introduce the other fingers now to help with speed? It’s never too late to change it up and improve. 🙌🏻
