This video guitar lesson is designed to teach you all of the beautiful guitar parts for “Dust In The Wind” by Kansas. This song is one of the most popular fingerstyle guitar guitar pieces ever written. As incredible as this song sounds it is actually only one fingerpicking pattern throughout, making it a great piece to learn.
The fingerpicking style that we are working with in “Dust In the Wind” is called Travis picking. Travis picking is the technique of using the thump to pick two repetitive bass notes to create a rhythmic and harmonic foundation for the song. It is used by not only Kansas, but by such players as Lindsay Buckingham and Chet Atkins as well.
Within these video lessons you will learn all of the intricacies of this gorgeous piece of music from the acoustic guitar parts to the viola/violin solo. That’s right, in this video guitar lesson series I have also arranged the classic viola and violin solo section for guitar to give you a complete study of this classic rock masterpiece.
There are actually two guitars playing during the original recording of “Dust In The Wind”. One guitar is in standard tuning and the other is using Nashville tuning. Nashville tuning is the process of tuning the EADG (6543) strings an octave higher than standard. This almost gives a 12 string guitar effect to the song. Within this video guitar lesson I will be using a standard tuned guitar throughout. Good luck!!

How long it takes to play it clean? I play it with picking pattern now and it sounds like mess. (i mean it sounds ok, but when i play it a while my fingers start to fail)
8:05 ——VERSE start
Play the whole thing through in the beginning!!!!!
Oh em gosh! I can't wait to have my guitar back! Thank you so much for publishing this.
At what point do you actually play the song so I can hear what it's truly supposed to sound like? I have no reference on your video I can play along with the whole song and practice.
Wow… long ago I "made up" what I thought was my own song. I was actually attempting a ewan dobson song, but since my skills are quite limited it transformed into what I thought was my own thing. I've never looked up how to play this song until now and I'm stunned. I've basically been playing a variation of this song for years and didnt know it lol. No wonder it felt so familiar and reminiscent the whole time.

thank you for doing this video. And if you don't mind me saying you could save time not explaining the chords. If people can't play the chords to this song they aren't advanced enough to play this song. Again thank you..
Too confuse for beginner – too much at once.
such a nice song to play
Just one request. Please play it through before you break it down helps to be able to go to the beginning and try it with it cause all you have to do is hit restart. Just a suggestion. I love the lessons and you have helped me a lot over the years.
