Added 2018-05-21 17:20:54 +0000 UTCHello friends,
and welcome to another by request song tutorial! In today's session I'll be breaking down how to play the 1969 Crosby, Stills & Nash tune "Helplessly Hoping" in it's entirety. This fingerstyle guitar lesson will teach you Stephen Stills general approach to folk-style guitar, as you learn how to perform the song's intro, verse, and chorus sections. Let's get started!

2023-04-15 04:26:12 +0000 UTCTY Rob - I joined to get the tabs for this and almost have it down! ( except of course if I try to record myself lol). Anyway - there is an Eddies Vedder song that I think would be a great fingerstyle tutorial. It's called "Skipping". Thanks!
2023-02-26 21:28:23 +0000 UTCMinor point, but aren't the verses technically in A Dorian, with the choruses in G Major (i.e., Ionian)?
2023-01-20 19:33:55 +0000 UTCThanks Rob. Of all the things I've tried I have found your lessons to be the best yet. As I continue I will, if finances permit, upgrade even further. You are a great talent and teacher.
2022-11-14 19:20:48 +0000 UTCIt doesn’t seem to work. There is a place to press play on pdf.
2022-07-24 19:20:36 +0000 UTCHey Gina, thank you so much for the thoughtful message and joining me here on patreon. Yes, many more fingerstyle lessons are on the way! -Rob
2022-01-27 20:38:04 +0000 UTCWow Rob. I just joined because of this song. There’s a few other versions out there but they weren’t sounding good to my ear. Thanks so much. Looking forward to see what other great finger style tutorials you have. You’re a great teacher. Glad I found you
2022-01-25 09:43:23 +0000 UTCLove it and looking forward to working this out. Trying to figure out what is meant by tab being interactive and something about speaker icons mentioned in the video. Not sure what a speaker icon looks like but I've clicked everything I can find and not seeing this. Thanks!

2020-06-30 21:50:28 +0000 UTCHi Rob, just a massive thank you for this tutorial. Been listening to Helplessly Hoping all week and got up this morning and within a couple of hours i've got something sounding familair. You the man!
2020-02-08 10:18:24 +0000 UTCthis is a really good lesson. Rainy day in the forecast tomorrow so I'll try and knock it out. I've been meaning to learn this one for a long time. Thank you.
2020-01-10 19:38:40 +0000 UTCHi Rob Great lesson! I am playing your music on iPad air2 and cannot seem to get the tabs to play- am I missing something? Great work thanks! Greg
