I totally agree with you the older you get the more you become attached to the early music country

Chet Atkins once said the most important thing about learning to play guitar is to play entire songs, not just learn iconic riffs or song intros. These videos should be helpful to new learners to master a tune front to back and steadily build a play list of songs. Each song with a new skill. This is a good one for the country waltz boom-chuck-chuck. Thanks!

Thanks a lot Kevin, I don't have too many patients sometimes especially now that I'm trying to learn how to play guitar. I have to say you have been very helpful with your strumming pattern to this song. I love Hank Williams and I sing his songs Karaoke style but I've decided I want to upgrade my abilities a little by learning a couple of his songs on guitar before I eventually pass away this song seems pretty simple I just need to learn my coordination especially with trying to sing as I play. I hope to get it figured out soon thanks a lot for your help i really appreciate it I've checked out other teachers but so far they haven't been very helpful.

Strumming is something I need a lot of work on. I find myself counting beats in my head, which I'm sure is not ideal, but it's a way to learn. It would help (me, at least) if you illustrate the strumming motions very slowly. I find myself having to slow the video speed to 50% to see what's going on. But a great lesson. As a beginner I love simplicity that's clearly explained.

@ozwzrd 7 жыл бұрын

Well, you got the lyric right on this one, but you go to the B7 one bar earlier than Hank did. Any reason why you don't use the original E/A/B7 changes capoed up for singing? Wouldn't hurt.

@Relaxandlearnguitar 7 жыл бұрын

Hi ozwzrd. Thanks for watching! I use a capo a lot because of my low voice. But for this beginner lesson I stuck with no capo so folks could play along with the record.

@waynearcher8324 6 жыл бұрын

I'm a little confused; happens all the time. I thought by putting a capo on the guitar,you raise all the notes an octave or so; why does that work for someone with a low voice? Thanks. Hey I'm old and just learning. Lol

@Relaxandlearnguitar 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Wayne. You are right, a capo does change the key and move it up. With my low voice, using the capo allows me to usually start out with the melody lower so I can then reach a higher note, usually in the chorus...

It’s a D 1R. So not as adorned as the D 18. But definitely my favorite guitar. They don’t make them anymore but you can sometimes find them used. rosewood back and sides. I love the deep rich tone. Thanks for asking and for watching!
