Wow, great job...now,all I gotta do is work on it,lol. This song sounds simple enough but when you start picking up not only does it have salt & pepper,it's got some honey, paprika ( smoked,of course) and a little hot sauce too....a lot of things going on here to hit all the senses....and all this musical greatness happened just down the road in Spartanburg SC, man,those guys were geniuses back in '73 ! To me,this is what pop's up when someone mentions Southern Rock. Love it !!!
I saw them in Mobile Alabama and I was right up on the stage , I remember how amazed I was watching him pick with his thumb , he has the thumb picking down flat and fast
This is a great tutorial. Just played this song for the third time in my classic rock geezer cover band and sounded way more authentic after watching this
Fruits of thy labor is just more fulfilling with guitar and golf than anything else i have experienced! 2 things that require much attention to do well.. not many can achieve.. total satisfaction playing wellllll
There's a live video of this on RUclips where you can clearly see Toy's left hand on the intro. In that version, rather than the Cadd9 (x32030) that everybody plays, Toy plays (x30230) which I see as a C6/9. Gives it a different color if you listen close.
I believe you are correct that he would be playing it that way. Just want to point out though that I'm playing the nine down an octave as well...x30020... So he is just adding an octave higher of that as well plus the six, as you point out. On the studio I hear the very opening lick as I play it but it is awkward pressing only the fifth and second string, and keeping that open d string ringing out. I can see how his finger positioning would help that low d string to be easier to ring out. it sounds like basically what he's doing is just playing his d chord and then throwing a c bass on it. So yeah technically it's a 6/9, but is much easier just to think of it as a d chord with a c bass. And to play that you have to let go of the high e string which works out perfect because the e is in the c chord. Thanks for your info. That's a great way to play it.
The guitar run-down is more like this. The note pairs have a slight arpeggio (delay) between them: E----15--14--12--10--8--5--3--2--|---0----------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------|--------3-------1--------------------| G--16--14--12--11--9--7--3--2---|---0----------------2- slide -11-| D--------------------------------------------|------4-------------------------------| A--------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|

One of my favorite songs to play. BUUUTTTT when you said you "heard " he plays with his fingers I lost all respect. I cant believe you trying to give a lesson on Troy Caldwells classic and never watched him. He played with his thumb as a pick.
I'm 58 and only started playing 5 months ago. This is one of the first songs I'm working on from start to finish. This has been a tremendous help!
Keep it up man , I’m 60 , started 5 years ago with another 2 guys in mid 50s , we are now rocking it right ! Also play this song
I’m 59 and trying to learn,I keep buying more guitars 🤦🏻♂️..

Best Guitar instructional video on the Internet!!! Please keep up the great work brother :)
Best I’ve found. Really cuts through the bs.
Sop glad you included them. The band, and Toy, are both so underrated.
I seen them in indi . in the 70's
They were one of the first band for the doobie bro. Toy was incredible, used his thumb.
They all were so great!
Thanks!
Thank you!

Request. What I like about you by the Romantics. How to play the harmonica solo on guitar.

Damn rhat sounds gud u really got that song down note for note! Any tab available??
Fantastico✌👍🖐
Can you do a lesson on Molly Hatchet's Straight Shooter?
I don’t see the tabs on your site or this listed as a lesson. Did I just miss it?
No I didn't have it out or do anymore lesson-wise. Thanks for asking though. Sorry I don't have the tab
Finally a goid cant u c lesson
thank you!!!
This so basic, and I didn't join the party until I watched this video. Pretty cool stuff
Toy Caldwell could never get used to using a traditional pick so used his thumbnail. He became well known for this.

Tab! Great version
Best!

EPIC
Now do a cover version of 24 hrs at a time live from the album where we all belong.
I've always loved that song and play the studio version on guitar.
Great lesson but I wish you would slow down

Thumb or not.. not that important to me... Love his playing... As in this one I've studied. ruclips.net/video/FCnb4WlDrUw/видео.html
Dissecting every note is a pain just play the chords
lame and boring
Sorry but your kind of off
Not a good lesson at all
