haha. Point taken. But at the same time...I can name tons of 40 year old songs that aren't cheesy. ;)

you're welcome. Hope you learned it! and you're welcome. yeah, some of these shortcuts are ridiculously handy, and then you can't believe there was a time you were functioning without using them!

I think with time you'll get it. I'm only 5'7, so it's not like i'm a giant. If with time you're still seriously struggling with this adn basic chords, then get a 3/4 size guitar. Or Martin makes a fantastic kids guitar! Also the cheap (150 buck) yamaha Jr. I mean, it's ridiculously small but if it works it works! I bring that one everywhere when i teach in person cause it's easy to carry around and I dont care how badly it gets banged up.

Haha. You're welcome. I knew you could do it you bacon eating Tele whaler

Ha! Knew you could do it!! Sub, like and consider support and lmk how else I can help yer folk n rollin

Thanks, man. Can u play it yet?

I was referencing death don't have no mercy, but kind of just played some random hammer on thing. Lol

Same way. B to E is a P4, or 5 frets. Just move the solo up 5 frets. If that's not possible you have to think a bit more and strange the strrings it's played on. Make sense?

Thanks. Check out Molaro For Illinois or the Queensmen album "hello Queensmen". I've fronted a few bands in a previous life.

Actually, I think I just found it! I believe you did the one off One Dime Blues :)

Yeah? Good. I think it was this one ..kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otJxg7Zj3Z_dcnk.htmlsi=VlqS6gmHtYcOX6ui

Appreciate it. Can u play it?

Thanks, sub, like and dive into the content! Lmk how else I can help

Thanks man. Yeah, heck of a tune. Took a bit of time to crack the nut, but persistence!

My pleasure. Let me know if you can play it and please consider supporting the channel. These videos and tabs are no small effort.

Awww yeah

Thanks, buddy.

Thanks man. And worth a tutorial on it, or just play Lonesome Valley and sing a different melody?

Actually just listened....it's identical. Haha

I play lonesome valley when I sing it. It's not exactly like it but close enough. I just love the feeling he sings it with. Such a pure man ​@MikesMusicMethod

I love thoughtful feedback. But this one felt like more of a troll. I don't know you. Any reason I should heed your advice? Do you run a popular YT channel? But in case you're inquiring for real and not just trolling, there are two issues. 1. they'd probably suck out the life and banter. Most people are subbed here because it's not just a dry video, but there is a real personality teaching them the songs. If you're annoyed simply hit the button and jump ahead 10 or 30 seconds, or use the timestamps. That's incredibly easy, saves me huge editing costs, and allows me to keep thousands of hours of my labor for these educational videos available FOR FREE! 2. who's going to pay this editor? Just because I have 20k subs on youtube doesnt mean I'm cashing in. I'm just getting to the point where I feel like I'm paying myself an almost fair wage. Paying an editor would probably put me in the hole, which would then lead me to needing to paywall my tabs, in which case, I'm sure you'd complain about that. ;)

No you don't know me and I'm not that influential here on YT or any other platform for that matter. I am though , a guitar teacher myself, and despite teaching on YT , I come here to learn from others. I did come across this video and did my best to learn from you. This is my feedback : Cut out all the parts you are in tuition flow but suddenly digress cause you want to crack a joke or remark about something unrelated; I'm sure this will make the video more tight and consistent instead of showing a part and then going on about this or that, cause that is disruptive and kills the flow ( You probably don't realise what a person with ADD is going through when trying to gain concentration in order to internalise what they learn) My point is- this video could have done without the bits that go forever and disrupt the flow of the tuition. That's not to say you are bad teacher ,just a bit all over the place . Some people might appreciate your style well good for them , but this doesn't work for everybody maybe.

Sorry , despite NOT teaching on YT . And thank you for you elaborate and thoughtful answer

Thanks! My college roommate was obsessed with a Ray La record, but I guess this track wasn't on that album.

it's ridiculously complicated. My approach would be to just think of each measure in and of itself as a month long study. If you take that approach you'll get immense value from it. But if you try and think you'll get the song you might burn out and waste time.

Glad I could help! Dive into th channel, let me know how I can help, and please consider supporting.

Yes! So glad to hear! Let me know how it goes and what other Smither tunes I could help with. And yeah, I'd appreciate any monthly support or single contribution. This channel is no small effort. Thanks and good luck with it!
