Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.An older lesson but hey it's an old song! Thanks :)
Love this lesson! I'm too old to learn "proper" classical guitar, but if someone takes such trouble explaining a simple song, even I can learn it :-) Thank you so much. Greensleeves was the first song I learnt on JamPlay.
I see you have not done anything nw since at least dec.2008 when is the next one...?
more please!
Excellent lesson, I love this song and am psyched to be able to start learning to play it. I would agree with the comment about adding Classical Gas as a song lesson.
Thank you for this lesson. Would love to see more classical pieces on jamplay.
What they all say. . . Great choice of songs.
Great Lesson Danny! Thank you very much.
i wish to have more classical lesson .thankyou
Very nicely presented Danny, I now know I've been playing it incorrectly for years ( I was missing the F out ) thanks and keep em coming ( Classical Gas ? )
When is Danny going to provide some lessons? Looking forward to learn some more from him. I can now play Greensleeves without music and am really enjoying playing this tune.
Thanks I really appreciate all the effort you all put in to create the lessons. You are all doing a great job.
The lessons are coming. They have a full outline for the set and are working on them. Keep in mind editing and processing all the supplemental content does take some time :)
Let's have more classical instruction
Thank you for a good lesson. I like your calm, approach and how you include technique ideas. For my fellows learners, I think it is so much easier if you can read the music/tabs. Thanks again
I tried learning classical years ago out of a book. Greensleeves was the final lesson at the end. Danny did the whole book in 30 minutes. Jamplay video IS the way to go.
more classical stuff...please
great lesson, like that song and the way you play it
great lesson, love that song.
Great lesson...please keep 'em coming!
nice melody
This was cool. Thanks & plz keep them coming
Is it me or is Dan's right hand thumb double jointed??
only thing you could have done better was dress up. lol
THANKS FOR GETTING A LESSON UP danny please,keep them coming.cant wait for guitar written composers,like leo brower,fransisco tarrega and carcassi,hector ,villa lobos.
First heard this melody when I was very young. I remember wondering why it seemed so special it was quite close in tone and rythm to some others but far surpassed them somehow. Had an idea recently that this may have inspired the rolling stones song Wild Horses.
Nice!
Good lesson Danny. Looking forward to more. Thanks.
