I have been searching for how to play this song for years and finally gave up. This popped up in my feed this morning and I couldn't believe it! Thank you for producing a clear and well explained video on this classic song. Much appreciated!
Hadn't heard till the past two weeks? Wow guy, where have you been? This is an all time great road song. I've actually been through Tucumcari New Mexico in my own travels, lovely city. (no I don't drive big rigs, I just love the open road, love to travel)
Good lesson, David! I just heard the Little Feat version this week myself, although I’ve heard Linda Ronstadt’s version a thousand times. I love open G and tried a few lessons in that tuning, your lesson makes a lot more sense and is easier to learn. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for posting this David. I'm an intermediate player and could never get the timing of this down until I carefully went thru your lesson. The genius of the great Lowell George was his ability to make somewhat complicated compositions sound simple.
Excellent breakdown - just one observation. On the CDC tag at the end of each verse line I believe the D is on the third beat but your tab places it on the 'and' before the third beat. And when I watch you demonstrate it and I count along with the video it seems to me you are playing it on beat 3, as I believe Little Feat do on the original recording. Am I wrong, or is the tab wrong?
The intro chords are the same as Peter Frampton's song "Baby I Love Your Way". Frampton said in an interview that he wanted to imitate the blackbird sound of beetles. On the other hand, I saw this song Little Feat covered by Reina del Cid she call now Elle ( ruclips.net/video/uBDhdugf_bY/видео.html ) and since then I have been looking for the tutorial to do it, but since I know Framton's I already know where the music is going. Greetings and thanks for the tutorial from Venezuela.

Man, Little Feat was great .

Nothing better 👍👍
Best instruction I have found on RUclips for this!
Yeah, but the recording is in open G tuning

Oh man, that makes me glad to hear! so happy it was helpful

Tucumcari is not a lovely city. It is another roadside attraction with concrete tepees
Happy to say, this summer we drove from Austin to San Diego, and I saw signs for at least one (maybe 2?) of the cities from this song! was excited
Thanks David - great song , great lesson, the closest i've found
Superb way of a tutorial. Hats off to you David... this is one of best ways..👍👍👍

Nice, hope this helped John! Man, I guess I need to check out more of his music!
I guess the biggest question I have is, how had you never heard this song before, until recently? But thanks for the breakdown, great lesson.

This is one of my favorite songs! Too bad Dixie Chicken isn't really a guitar song as it's also one of my favorites. Thanks!
You're quite welcome!

Fun tune Thanks 👍👏👏✌🏻🆒
sure thing, you're quite welcome!
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thanks Susan!
Hey can i request a song? Could you do greatest day by Take That? Thanks
hi - you surely can request! Don't know that one but I'll give it a spin!
Place names spelled wrong. Check your atlas/maps
You just heard it? Have you been stoned the last 40 years? Here’s another fun fact. It’s in open G.
Better late than never! Hopefully my list of shame (of classic songs I haven't heard) doesn't have too much left on it
@@songnotes Go to the album "Little Feat". The original and best version, IMO. Just acoustic and slide with vocals.
Great lesson, thanks 👍
