How to Play "Wildflowers" By Tom Petty | Easy Guitar Songs Lesson

Hey April, welcome to my Patreon page! I'm thrilled to have you as a new supporter and student. I sent you a welcome message a few moments ago with all your perks. I really appreciate the positive feedback, and the excellent request. Expect more Petty in the near future. Be well and enjoy your progress! -Rob

Wow... super lesson. Played just like the man himself and very clearly explained and demonstrated. Just found you through this tutorial/lesson and I have to ask myself “Why have I not seen this guy around before in my endless hunt for solid guitar education?” Better late than never! More Tom Petty, please. Perhaps more from the Wildflowers album, like ‘Crawling Back to You’? Would love to be able to translate Benmont’s beatuful piano into guitar.

Love this - saw him in Hyde park earlier this year with stevie nicks, he looked in good shape can't believe he's gone so soon!

I would kill for a tutorial on ‘Walls.’ <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D9skUDL4tLI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D9skUDL4tLI</a> Especially this amazing acoustic version of the song! :)

Great Man, great song, great lesson. Thanks so much.

Just joined up here and as I posted on Youtube can't think of Tom Petty without thinking of 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High'. TP will be missed as for so many of us, as Rob noted in this video, his music became part of the soundtrack of our lives.

I was actually planning to teach a whole Tom Petty series before I learned of his passing. I'm still going to be working on that, so let me know what you're favorites are, preferably ones that haven't been taught on YouTube already. Thanks Kelsey.

Thanks for this! I was searching the web for a tutorial on this song a few months ago, and kept thinking “I wish Rob had a tutorial!” Can’t Wait to learn.

Hey Pete, I definitely will be posting some more Petty, perhaps “The Waiting” will be in the near future. It’s always hard saying goodbye to our heroes, and his passing has shaken me especially hard. Chris Cornell was another huge loss that I’m still trying to get over.

Rob - as you have time, it would be great to feature some more Tom Petty song lessons. I'm saddened by his passing, and would really love to learn more of his amazing songs. Thanks.

Thanks so much, Rob! In some ways the song seems simple, but in other ways it sounds so just like Tom Petty. And Barry, your skiing in powder brought back memories of Taos, in Northern New Mexico. I loved being one of the first people up the lift. Then I would ski down right under the lift in all the new "virgin" powder. So much fun!!

Such a long career,I’m sure many people can think back to some memories that include his music. By the way Barry, I use iMovie to create these videos.

This particular song brings back memories of skiing in Snowbird Utah. A blinding blizzard with powder above my knees with nobody in front of me or behind me where I can see a personr Nothing but love and enjoyment. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention and to the viewers this. Wonderful soul and a wonderful musician and songwriter. He will be sadly missed.
