Learn how to play Richard Thompson – Dimming of the Day note-for-note on guitar.

Difficulty level: Advanced. Actually nothing here is especially difficult to play, but it merits the advanced label because the fretting hand fingers are constantly making new shapes. Richard Thompson almost never holds a single chord shape for more than a bar.

Barre chords: ​No

Thumb over chords: Yes

Playing Style: Fingerpicked. The version taught is the one on the Acoustic Classics album. RT plays with a pick and fingers (hybrid picking) but the song is taught using thumb and fingers.

Tuning: Drop D

The complete file contains 3 lesson videos, 3 performance play thru videos, full tabs, chords and lyrics. You’ll receive a link to download the lesson which will download as a zip file of 476 Mb containing all the lesson content.

    Jerry,
    I agree totally with Nick above! Galway to Graceland is great!! I’d love to see you do a lesson for it. I’ll be tackling this one over Christmas though!!
    thanks for all your help.

    Jerry,
    Great lesson- I’ll be buying it. Perhaps someday you’ll do another RT fave of mine- Galway to Graceland- fingers crossed for that great lyrical tune!

    Thank you for this and for doing it so well! RT is one of the reasons I picked up a guitar, and there are so few proper lessons. I (and I imagine others) would love to see 1952 Vincent and Beeswing at some point.
