And actually,. not so bad! The original Pancho and Lefty was well over a year ago and it was a super basic simplified version, was actually happy to go back and give it a proper break down.

This is so great. Have you heard the Steve Earle version? It is so much “sadder” and I can’t figure out why
@MikesMusicMethod Жыл бұрын
Because his voice sucks? ;) haha, sorry, I keep trying and trying but I get nothing from Steve Earl. I think he's a pretty bad picker and I'm yet to be gripped by his voice.

thanks for the rec. But it's just kind of an electric guitar jam. There's nothing finger picked, and that's what i'm trying to focus the channel on. Or is there some live version that's different?

Hm, they're not a group i ever really got into it. I'm listening now. Cool song, but it's just kind of strummed chords. I'm not sure there'd be too much value in a tutorial. Just kind of strum and follow along with the chords. Unless there's some picking version I'm unaware of..? thanks, virgil! Keep the requests coming.

Your tab is inverted from what I’m accustomed. The upper most string is usually the low E. On this tab it’s the bottom line. I’m so confused!

ha. Sorry, man. I'm pretty sure 99% of the world does it the way I do it. Honestly, I've been playing guitar for 30 years and have literally never seen it written the other way (though I agree, to some people it would be more intuitive). Where ya from? I'm assuming the Southern Hemisphere! ;)

the last 4 notes of the measure? If you're referring to the tab numbers "1 2 0 0" at the end of the measure i'm doing Thumb pointer thumb pointer. Thumb plays the 6th string and the 4th string for that entire measure. Does that help?
