Strummers wanted! What song would you like to see next from Nick? 🤔

The most thorough lesson on the simplest song . Nick makes everything fun.

Nice to see the "softer" side of Nick. Cheers SW.

The chord with no name !

" just like me, beaten up and seen better days". Amen brother!!

on the first part of the journey..........what a beautiful song.

First song I ever learned on guitar. Lol! It was 1982. Still playing guitar.

When I listened to this song as a child (I am 50) I often thought, "why doesn't this jerk just give the poor horse a name?" Y'know - I shall call name this horse "Lightening," or something like that, and hope you have enough water and sunscreen for the rest of your trip. Over the years I have learned not to take things so literally. I look forward to the next campfire. Cool tune - thanks, Nick!

Just starting my journey. Lessons seem directed to me. Love it. Cheers Bob

I love Nick playing that acoustic guitar he looks great doing it to rock on brother great tune!!

Awesome lesson. I like your strumming pattern better than what I found on the web. I try to learn at least one new thing about playing my guitar every day and your trick for changing cords is a very valuable tip!

You're an excellent teacher. This was quite valuable. Thank you!

OMG that guy is hillarious, but great and easy breakdown of the song.

The chord with no name love it 👍😁

I love this song and, shockingly, have never tried to play it. Gonna jump right into playing and singing it today! Thanks for the inspiration, Nick! (And the Lol with the chord name rant… chord with no name!)

Man, he makes this fun...😁

Excellent lesson 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👍🏼👏

He s got the first chord right but I play a different second chord than he does and to my ears it sounds better. Great song !

Awesome perfect way to teach beginners and with such attention to detail aswel. Great job mr bowcott cant wait for the next video 😃👍

You are quite an entertainer.

Horse with no name has 3 Chords. Verse 022000 - 200200 Chorus 022000 - 000202

It's actually much more elaborate than just 2 chords, however for the novice player, the 2 chords work fine. In actuality, there are 3 guitars (2 six strings and 1 twelve string) and a bass playing at the same time after the first verse and only one guitar is playing the part you're playing. After the bass comes in, the other instruments fill out the main riff with texturing that when you hear someone play it correctly, you smile from ear to ear. Add in the mysterious wet bongos (congas in the video) and the odd lyrics with incredible harmonies, and that takes a simple 2-chord song to make it amazing. This is what instantly stopped me and countless other people in our tracks in 1972. Lastly, the reason why so many people don't know this is because there's literally only one video of them playing it live, and you can barely see the third guitar player. It took me a lot of time to analyze what's actually going on and why it sounds much bigger than just two chords.

Great song

fun!

Well done!

Nick is awesome, I would love to hear a tutorial on Velvet Undergound's 'Beginning To See The Light'. A simple strum-a-long with scope for strumming variations. Anyhoo, I picked up on this tune about 3yrs into learning and was so happy it was so simple, I felt like a pro playing to my friends. Great memories & a great tune too with so much atmosphere in 2 chords. Amazing :)

I always thought the horse wasn't named no name, that he was with someone named no name. Bec he says I been threw the desert on a horse, with no name...thanks nick cool song,

First song I ever learned... with mutes though

Or as I like to call it...A horse with no mane...🐎👍

I was 10 at summer camp and the one cool counselor with a guitar started to teach me this…one of the highlights of my otherwise extremely shitty childhood

I came bc of the thumbnail 🤣🤣

Cracking song. American group with an iconic American song, written and signed in the UK. Of course it's all about drugs (heck, they're Americans). I think I'm right in saying they were brought up on American Airforce bases in the UK. Check out America's Sister Golden Hair.

What if you don't have any arms?

left-handed makes it harder though. lol

Dude. Give yourself some credit. How someone with such stubby mitts play like you do is fun to watch. You paid too many dues to take lightly. If you can teach me to play 'Little Lion Man' by mumford and sons my life would be complete.

I skimmed thru the video... did you ever get to the chorus??? You bored my patience!!
