Great lesson. I’ve been taking private lessons for a year and was never taught where to place my right arm, nor was it suggested to hold the pick between my thumb and middle fingers. I think those two tips will vastly improve my strumming. And I love your humorous, positive teaching style. Can’t wait to see more of your videos!
Thank you Trish and sorry for a slow reply - my best to you! Shane
Just found your website today. Much thanks!!! 62 years old.... playing guitar since 15.... couple of teachers and NO ONE DISCUSSED the subjects of rhythm, guitar picks, etc, .... WOW !!! I immediately heard the difference with my strumming. Excellent teacher and website . Thanks.
Holy crap this guy's an excellent teacher. I wish I could attend lessons with him!
Thanks for that - glad to have you here with us! Shane
I decided when I retired in March 2020, that I would learn how to play the guitar. At the age of 62 and having never played any instrument in my life, I was a bit doubtful and leery that I would be able to learn how to play.
In our "new norm" world we live in I immediately turned to U Tube, as face to face lessons were out of the question.
I stumbled upon many different teachers and wasn't satisfied until I came across you.
You have made the whole experience of learning, an exciting one.
Your teaching methods are clear, precise, easy and simple.
I have found myself playing for hours watching your videos, rewinding them over and over again.
Best of all I am loving it and am getting better every day!
I would highly recommend Shane's site to anyone who asks me.
Thumbs up Shane! 👍👍
I look forward to seeing the releases of all your new teaching videos.
Thanks again. Keep up the great work!
Mike Babcock, Caledon Ontario.
Ditto what Mike said, retired and now 66 decided to learn how to play the guitar. Took lessons at a guitar store for a year, I've learned more in a few days watching your videos than I did taking lessons. Thank-you.
Ditto to Mike and Kevin, but 60. Great thanks to Shane.
I just started at the end of January. At the tender age of 61.
I believe it is never too late to learn. If you're retired, there's no better time to start than now. Although I started a long time ago, I didn't really get any better for years. Career, raising kids, moving multiple times...life got in the way. Having a good time with it, now. My advice is to find some other people to jam with. That will automatically force you to learn new songs and to pay attention to tempo. Most of all, have fun!
A big thank you Mike - a lovely comment to receive. My very best to you. Shane
realmente eres muy didáctico para enseñar, lamentablemente no entiendo mucho ingles pero eres muy claro en la forma de explicar los temas, muchas gracias
Used to do the flute solo all the time. Great little run.
For sure Craig - cool song indeed
Thank you Shane , love the way you teach !
Thanks Marcel - always great to hear from you - Cheers!
Shane
Love the ‘walk the chicken 🐔’ cue. It really did work for me!
welcome back!
Thanks joe - great to be back and happy to hear from you.
Cheers!
Shane
Walk the chicken! Wok the chickn! Wok da chkn!
Keep walking that chicken Vanilla - it really works!
Shane
Walk the chicken! I'll remember that forever. Love it.
Ha! It really does work for sure - Cheers!
Shane
How about Choke Your Chicken....
Rufus Romeo right !? That’s frikin awesome ! Love this guy 🙌🙌🙌🎶❤️
Thought he said "Wok the chicken" 🤣🤣😎👍
“Alligator” broken into syllables works too!
Missing the iconic intro that makes the song so great
Hey Shane you have me in stiches laughing "walk the chicken", walk the chicken"and "soft, loud," soft loud". But as hilarious as it is, it's extremely helpful, love watching your videos :) Just out of curiosity I noticed how clear your guitar sounds, what do you for an amplifier?
Thanks for that Taylor Guild - I love the chicken thing and I find it really does work. I'm plugging my 814CE directly into the recorder/mixer - I add a little compression and reverb when I mix it down. Hope that helps you
Cheers!
Shane
After watching hundreds of RUclips videos, I learned more on this one video than any other. 👍👍👍👍👍Thank you!
So great to hear that guitarzan - much appreciated! I thought these items were important to talk about for any strumming situation. Cheers!
Shane
I have been playing guitar for close to 47 years now and all self-taught. Mostly country classic songs as well as Marshal tucker, Waylon, etc. I am always of the belief that no matter how long you have been playing, there is always something you can learn from another guitar player, and i love watching these types of videos to do just that! I love how you break it down and get into detail for new players about arm placement, pick holding, ect...I learned a couple tips from you today! However, i do use the 'pointy end' as well (.74 being my fav pick) I also favour 'palm muting' with some songs. Would be interesting to see your take on teaching others the style of palm-muting and how to apply that to certain songs. Also, thank you for pointing me to the Beatbuddy!! I ordered one and cant wait to get it. ..Ive been using a programmable drum machine but the BeatBuddy sounds MUCH more professional...THANK YOU!
Thank you Alex - what a great comment to receive. So glad you enjoyed that video and I hope you'll enjoy plenty more with us here. Great suggestions you had and I've added them to the list. Congrats on your BEATBUDDY Purchase.....it's such a great device! Shane
Your turning me into a better guitar player( or even one) ,.. 😏😱 who saw THAT coming lol 😂 thanks so much ! 🙏🙏 I didn’t do ALL the right things for my kids growing up but did have a piano & a guitar in the house ( both that I didn’t really play) but that instilled a musical curiosity deeply in two of my three very gifted children! They being young seemed to run with it where I have painfully inched along. I only hope one day to jam with them and at LEAST not cringe 😬🤠 you and others on RUclips have helped immensely! ✌️
Thank you Danny - hope you're having a ton of fun with it!
Shane
You are a very good instructor. Thank you for understanding the difficulties and explaining so well how to strum and transition. I enjoyed it very much!
Thank you Scout - I really appreciate the encouragement and am happy to have you here with us - Happy New Year to you!
Shane
You are a awesome person and a very gifted musician and I am thankful I found your channel !
A big thank you for that - my very best to you and I’m glad to have you here with us. Cheers,
Shane
Hi there from Cleveland OH. Great! channel. I was just wondering here, what model is your Taylor your playing? Sounds awesome. Thanks
Thanks for that - glad to have you here with us! I’m using a Taylor 814CE. Cheers, Shane
Although I have played guitar for many years now, I still enjoy watching tutorial videos. I can honestly say; in my opinion, that you have about the best teaching method of all others. Impressive work!
A big thank you for that! Really makes my day to get a comment like yours - so glad to hear that it is working for you and very happy to have you here with us -Cheers!
Shane
Easy to see why Shane is such a great guitar teacher. All those little tips.
Thank you for that - hope this video is helping you and have fun!
Shane
Thank you! I've watched hundreds of videos from Justin, Guitar Sage, Marty...
But YOU SIR? YOU ARE THE CHAMP!!
P.S. - I know a good teacher..my mom was a piano soloist with the BSO, taught for 45 years, and 2 students went to Juliard!
YOU ARE A GEM!! TY
Thank you Northcountry - such great feedback - really makes my day - hope you are having a ton of fun with it and my very best to you - Happy New Year!
Shane
Terrific lesson! So much helpful information in your video. You put this in very down to earth terms.
I learned more about pick holding and strumming than all other videos combined, thank you so much!!
Thank you Art - glad to have you here with us. Cheers, Shane
Great revisit tonight. Like that pick idea..forgot about that. Cheers mate
Great tips on strumming and holding guitar stopped my arm aching
That’s great Steve! Enjoy - Shane
Great video, I’ve been struggling on the strumming for this song. I guess I’ll start walking the chicken. Thanks for the video.
Thank you - have fun with it! Shane
Shane you are a great instructor. Thankyou love that song, Used to listen to it back in the 70's on an 8 track while plowing cotton land in my 1486 International. Some songs you just love from out of thebox.
Thank you Curtis - glad to have you here with us. Cheers! Shane
Soft loud soft loud just awesome how you reinforce and teach strumming techniques. My wife asked me what are you doing and I told her I was walking the chicken and we both burst out laughing. I get so much out of each and every one of your videos thanks for sharing your knowledge. As a beginner it's great to know there is a site such as yours to help me along.
A big thank you Paul - I absolutely appreciate your kind words and your encouragement - so happy to have you here with us. Lots more videos coming and hope you enjoy - Happy New Year!
Shane
I like this song a lot, but I’ve always preferred Hank Williams jr., version, but not him per se.
Great song indeed August - thanks!
Shane
Great lesson! Lots of great strumming to work on. As the old song by The Happenings goes...”See You in September.”
I know you released this nearly a year ago, but I need to comment anyway. That is the best explanation of 16th note strumming ever. Now I need to go and walk the chicken. Walk the chicken, walk the chicken."
Michael thanks Michael. So glad you enjoyed it and I hope you’re having a ton of fun. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers!
Shane
Thank you for lesson? Such valuable tips and love you explanation of strumming this song. Would also love an explanation or tutorial of how you use the Beat Buddy. Thanks! 🙂
Changing my pick-holding finger has made all the difference. Flow, adapt and transform...Shane you’re awesome! 🙏 Thank you for being you.
I really appreciate the technique pointers. They've helped my playing just that quickly!
Glad to hear it Rob - thanks for commenting!
Shane
Ive always have held the pick that way, more forgiving.
I heard SRV held it that wY too, he was pretty good.
Very helpful...Thank you. 🤘🎸😎
Only just found this, played for a long time but every day is a school day and always should be. Thank you very much sir, fantastic teaching.
Came here as this song breaks my heart, reminding me of a very special girl who yah, broke my heart. Nevermind, onwards upwards and keep strumming 👍👍 Much love from Scotland🏴
And I thought Horse With No Name was the easiest with only two cords but this song wins hands down, great work thanks again🙃😊
Thanks - best to you, Shane
Just found your lesson Shane, Brilliant, really learned a lot in a short space of time,subscribed as well, Happy Christmas and Happy New year from Ireland ✅👍🏼
Thank you Oliver - my very best to you and I'm happy to have you here with us. Cheers! and Happy New Year! Shane
I really miss my courses with you my friend was the highlight of my week
Thanks Bill - always good to hear from you! Hope things are well there? Always enjoyed our time together and I hope the restaurant is doing well - Cheers!
Shane
I am a bit of a slow learner but I can follow the walk the chicken theme. Thanks
Thanks David - walk that chicken my friend. Cheers,
SHane
Wow you’re a good teacher..😊
Thank you Jon - much appreciated and very glad you enjoyed. My best to you, Shane.
Shane, you rock. I love your lessons and style. Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks Todd - very glad to have you with us and hope you have fun with it. Cheers!
Shane
Very good lesson,thanks
Good teachers are hard to come by. Thanks for making this video and don't ever change your way of teaching.
A big thank you for that. Glad you enjoyed - cheers! Shane
Awesome useful tips. Very detailed. Great job on this lesson!
.Thank you FM - really glad you enjoyed it - lots more coming and very glad to have you with us!
Shane
Is he only strumming on the down when he is walk the chicken? Or strumming on the down nd up.
Thanks for that - strumming on the Down and Up - hope you are doing well with it. Cheers,
Shane
Thanks Shane. I just "walked the chicken" on the boardwalk at myrtle Beach. It was fun to play from your lesson outside and in public!!
One of the most amazing instructionals I've ever seen. That guitar sounds amazing too. Perhaps you have a video of that particular Taylor guitar and how you set up your computer etc to play along? Going to walk my chicken.
Thanks madcow - really appreciate your comment. Glad to have you here with us. I'm just plugging that guitar straight into the mixer and adding a bit of reverb and compression on mix down. The Taylor pickup system is really good I think. Cheers!
Shane
This was a brilliant tutorial! Thank you!
Hey learned alot from this guy,thanks man
Very glad Gary - thanks for that. Shane
This Is so fire
Thanks for that. Best to you! Shane
hey shane love walk the chicken new one will use this for sure
Glad to hear it Roger - walk that chicken! Shane
Yet again another great video, love the play along part and of course walking the chicken 🐔🇨🇦
Thanks Glen - really appreciate you taking the time to comment - hope you have fun with it!
Shane
Great tutorial very helpful. Can you do a tutorial on Old Time Rock and Roll on for acoustic guitar.
Great instruction many thanks!
Thanks Tom - very glad you enjoyed. Cheers! Shane
Wonderful lesson with great tips on strumming! Really like that you do the play along sections! Thanks so much!
Thank you Curt - I really appreciate the feedback. Really makes my day. All my best to you - Happy New Year!
- Shane
Why did the chicken walk across the road? To see her friend Gregory peck 😅
Loved the aid "walk the chicken..." that's going to hang with me long time
Something I'm wondering aboot ......... does your head ever unscrew from your neck while you're walking the chicken?
My man I'll tell you a guitar "conversation" by you is more instructional than hours of lessons and other RUclips instructional videos. Really appreciate it. Just the tips regarding the pick is worth the price of admission. 👏👏👏
Feel a craving for some Chinese chicken...YUM😎👍
Great song and leads are easy but so toneful.
Thanks for another breakdown 😎👍
😎👍❤🖖
Thanks, I'm a beginner and always learning!
Thanks Matt - we all keep learning forever. Hope it's going well and that you're having fun with it. Happy to have you here with us!
Shane
This was a great lesson for me. Been playing for about 3 months now and still trying to find that clean strumming sound...love the tips on arm position, holding the pick and sweeping. I had not seen that covered as clearly in the many other hours of guitar videos I have watched. You explained the strum pattern and accents very well too. Looking forward to learning this awesome song. Thanks for taking the time to put this great video together.
Great song. Seen Marshall Tucker a couple of times. Need to practice G to D without moving my ring finger. I also Dunlop (yellow) picks for my Martin. Use Fender picks for my strat - Dunlop seem to be too stiff for the strat
Great lesson on subtle techniques. Shane, I like that Beat Buddy, but is there anything similar but more stand alone like a metronome? It would be nice to have those drum beats without plugging in.
I subscribe and I enjoy your channel a lot- thanks guy!
Really enjoyed this lesson, your explanations are nice and descriptive for the listener to understand, thank you.
Love your channel. Thumbs up!
Thank you surf - hope you're well as can be. Cheers,
Shane
Thanks for the lesson
Glad you enjoyed Mike - Cheers! Shane
Thank you so much, you are a great help .
Glad to hear that Jim. Thank you! Shane
Thank you, starting to see improvement with each new lesson I try! Totally enjoy hanging!
shane, sir, i am very dismayed by the rudeness and disrespect in some of the comments of this vid. i love the way you handle it, like a healthy green pine tree you just brush it gently by with a zen-like response.
but still. without a doubt you are the most friendly and positive guitar guy on youtube. so i just want to apologize for the sub-cretins who view free lessons as their outlet to act like a-holes.
i realize it’s a minority but i do get bothered by the negativity. i have watched and benefited from a number of your videos and i really want to thank you for all you do for the part of the community that actually wants to learn, share and grow.
no one can really steal your joy without you surrendering it, but this cowards den of youtube pot shotters can be an ugly place. please never let the rudeness or ignorance bring you down. for every obnoxious moron there’s a good 10 or 20 more who are really grateful for your presence here. thank you again, very sincerely.
hey, are you considering offering up ‘guitar at work’ mugs for sale in the future? i’ll buy one! cheers shane. good playing!
Great great lesson. Makes it fun! The Cadd9 is a beautiful chord....Love 'walking the chicken!"
Thank you! Shane
You always give great "extra" information that helps to improve the sound and improve technique.
Super! Thank you Sandy - happy to have you here with us! Shane
Love thinks for all the tips as well.
A bit like Blue on Black,In fact i think anyone learning this should also learn Blue on Black after as the chords are much the same and the strumming is similar. With a few added enbaishments.
This is good at explaining stuff most everybody leaves out!!
Thanks for that Lawson - that is what I was hoping for. It's an easy three chord song for most but the detail is all in the right hand. Cheers!
Shane
The drummer in me is saying 1e&a2'e&a3e&a4'e&a..(I don't know if that will help anyone else.)
I hadn't ever thought of holding my pick with my middle finger. I tried it and immediately felt comfortable with it. Thanks!
Glad to hear it Gato - it's such a personal thing,....it works for some people but not for others. Best to you, Shane
17 minutes to teach a 3 chord song
Exactly right. Shane
Great lesson! Lots of great strumming to work on. As the old song by The Happenings goes...”See You in September.”
Thanks Bruce - always good to hear from you - hope all is well there. Will be good to get back at it with you in Sept. I watched the whole Tour de France.....holy moly that's a beautiful country. I had no idea. Cheers! Shane
Good friends of mine through the years. I live in Spartanburg, home of MTB
Great lesson Shane, thanks for your great videos…can you share what preset you used on the beat Buddy?
I just started learning the guitar very recently and I truly appreciate the videos.
I continue finding new things to practice on your channel.
I like most of ur videos. But ur version doesnt sound right.?? Sorry. Bro. It doesnt sound much like song.
Amazing
I'm getting it😊
Fabulous - enjoy! Shane
Cool. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed! Shane
Shane is definitely one of the best.
Thanks! My very best to you and always glad to hear from you.
Shane
Thank you for your videos. As a beginner this unlocked turning strumming mechanically into music for the first time. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for putting in all of this work.
So glad! Thank you. Shane
Love it just needed the meat of the song,gotta gig,need material. Can always add the fine touches later!!
Thanks Joe - hope the gig went well. Cheers! Shane
Great lesson, entertaining and helpful. I think many instructors are too dry and almost academic in their presentations. You definitely do not have that problem! The result is an enjoyable learning moment that I will remember. Thank you for helping others.
Thanks Carey - what a lovely comment - my very best to you and happy to have you here with us!
Shane
Great to have you back Shane and great song and lesson. As a few have mentioned, missed ya!

Brilliant tutorial...........👍👍.
