My god, I can't believe. I discovered this song a couple of days ago, and after listening to it like a hundred times realized I need to play it. Thought there was no chance to find tabs or a tutotial, but seriously, here it is, made by John himself. Thank you so much, it's priceless.
Tried to get this off of Ultimate guitar realized it was wrong. Tried to work it out for myself knew it was going to be a nightmare so I gave a shot that maybe by chance someone would put a how to, it was so awesome to find that you actually were the one, Thanks.
This is so funny to see. I spent some serious time working this out last year from the Red Barn and KXT live sessions and I am still working on Black Leaf from KXT and RUclips Space concerts. Pandemic sucks but it is helping my guitar skills. Thank You so much for sharing your gift with us.
Oh wow, I just discovered that one of my favorite artists of all time is making video lessons. Thanks so much man, it's so fascinating to hear you break down your music; truly makes me wanna pick up the guitar and play along. I know you're a busy man, but hopefully you'll make more lessons from time to time. Take care!
I spent a large number of hours watching your live performances trying to figure this out and then came across this. Thank you very much--I'll help you get the word out. This is my favorite song of all time, and I've never heard a songwriter so perfectly on my wavelength than you, John Paul White, are, consistently, every reinvention is just perfect and ready for the next phase of my life. Thank you.
This was a wonderful find for such a beautiful song. Would be great to see the strumming technique in more detail - I think it's actually a lot harder than you suggest and testament to how well you play. From what I see you play the bass note with your thumb, and then on the rake/downstroke with your fingers you simultaneously plant the thumb on the bass string you will play next , play the upstroke with the thumb planted and you're ready to play that bass. That takes some practice
My wife and I love to play and sing your music and I felt like we were just chilling in your living room while you taught me how to play this. So much fun to play. Thank you! Love your style. We have seen you several times and can’t wait to catch you live again in NC.
As soon as I heard you sing I was hooked! Wow. And then I tried to learn this song ( the old boring way) until I found you here ... thank you so much...I absolutely love how you play this:)
great stuff! love this song so much! thank you for doing these great lessons! if i may be so bold: when playing the end of the first and last chorus, when doing the slide from the c-shape from 3rd to 5th fret, i add in a little slide to the 6th fret to add a tension note that resolves when we go back to the E-minor.
That's amazing John. I'll tell you that I learn that song by ear 2 years ago. Only watching you in live shows and listen A LOT your album. Pleeeeease... Do a tutorial: Make You Cry, Hate The Way you love me and I'll get even from Beulah. And from The Long Goodbye do Losing me, Black Cloud and September. This Life I learned watching your live shows. And it's my favorite lyrics 💙 From The Hurting Kind just the one... The Hurting Kind it's PERFECT. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING PERSON YOU ARE. One day I wanna meet you ... Is one of my dreams. I play your songs to my baby sleep ...she likes a lot. One more time... Thank you.
Que bueno es ver de estos videos John Paul... Me gustaria mucho realmente escuchar de tu boca como, o en que te basas al momento de reversionar una cancion...
This is amazing, I saw you live last year in DC, but it’s wonderful to watch you break the songs down into their components. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks JP! Much appreciated. I hope you and your family are doing well during this crazy time. Would you be able to do Hate The Way you Love Me for the next one? Another incredibly written song.
Hi John Paul, not sure if you will read this but have been a fan since The Civil Wars. Can I ask what acoustic pickup is in your 56/57 OOO 18? Gosh, your stage tone with that guitar melts my ears in a good way. Love that guitar.
I think the most difficult part for me is getting my brain to do those hammer-ons with my left hand at the same time as strumming that bass note with my thumb with my right hand. Anyone else? What’s the most difficult part for you?
Thank you so much, this is a fantastic tutorial for one of my most favorite songs ever! The really hard part, for me, is when it comes to singing at the same time - do you have any advice for mediocre singers, who are rhythmically challenged when multi-tasking? (Other than, of course, the obvious one: practice, practice, practice)
Thanks for uploading! If you have a minute, I've been recording some original acoustic songs. As a fellow music fan, I'd love if you would check it out. It's on my channel. Hope you enjoy.
"Not sure what chord this is...but I like it" Oh me, too!

Fantastic! These tutorials really show how much goes into making songs “interesting”. You inspire me to be a better player. Thank you.
Another video please after your upcoming tour dates. Doesn’t matter what song I just love watching you play and explain.
Loved learning this one straight from the source. Sending love from Austin, Texas. Cheers John!
Amazing. The man himself doing the tutorial. So good.
I love this song and IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER so much. Just beautiful.
I absolutely love these lessons! Please do more for us "dummies". 😉😊 Any and all help from a professional like yourself is appreciated so very much.
Thank you John. Didn't think I could get over her but this song helped.
You have been one of my favorite singers/songwriters for many years. Thanks so much for this.
😱 I just came to RUclips too play this song while paint and this exists?!??!

Wow unreal I dont have to scour the internet to find some wack ass tab video cause the man is giving up the goods himself. LONG LIVE JPW
So good and so much fun. Bless you JPW! Making Friday great!

Excellent tutorial and great camera work son.

Loved it! This reminds me of the Carter Scratch. Walking bass lines with percussive fans. Very nice. I learned a lot! Thank you!

Thanx John Paul for taking the time to share this with us!
Oh man, thank you so much for uploading these lessons. Love this song!
Would love to learn my dreams have all come true!!
great stuff! love this song so much! thank you for doing these great lessons!
if i may be so bold: when playing the end of the first and last chorus, when doing the slide from the c-shape from 3rd to 5th fret, i add in a little slide to the 6th fret to add a tension note that resolves when we go back to the E-minor.
Thank you sir, love your music,
September and Call it love... it would be fantastic
That's amazing John. I'll tell you that I learn that song by ear 2 years ago. Only watching you in live shows and listen A LOT your album.
Pleeeeease... Do a tutorial: Make You Cry, Hate The Way you love me and I'll get even from Beulah. And from The Long Goodbye do Losing me, Black Cloud and September. This Life I learned watching your live shows.
And it's my favorite lyrics 💙

Such a beautiful song and a very nice tutorial :-) I'm a piano player, was looking for another Paul White ;-) But I enjoyed your video!!
This is amazing, I saw you live last year in DC, but it’s wonderful to watch you break the songs down into their components. Thanks so much for sharing!
I've always wanted to know how to play your songs. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Had the guitar in my lap already, how convenient! Thanks a lot for these JP!
My favorite song. Thank you.
I'd like to know more about your tunings. I've tunded down a half step for years. Thanks
It was awesome John Pauls! You made my Friday.
Really nice song, thank you John Paul💓😍
Ah yes!!!!! I'm beyond excited to learn this, gosh!!
Thanks JP! Much appreciated. I hope you and your family are doing well during this crazy time. Would you be able to do Hate The Way you Love Me for the next one? Another incredibly written song.
Thank you John!! I love this song!
Thanks for this. Love the song and that a sound is more than a cord name :)
Please John make one for What's So.

You do need a way for us to throw money at you.

Always sing with your practicing. Go slowly until you develop the muscle memory for doing both.
Any desire to teach us another song?
🤠🤘🏻
