I know you’ve deleted you social media, but PLEASE PLEASE don’t ever delete your RUclips videos! I love learning your songs and going back to this videos xxx
I love it. Art doesn't need an understanding of the "rules". It's much more impressive to just be able to create without set boundaries and still reach the audience.
I come back to this song once a year thinking im ready and I never am 😂 i dunno how you play this AND sing at the same time, you are truly a wizard my friend
You did great man. Ya broke off a huge chunk a bread here and threw it off the table. Don’t doubt this, and don’t doubt sharing. This is how music was learned forever, it’s how America was made- let the teachers on RUclips do it how they do, they don’t write songs. This is how you learn from a song writer, someone who doesn’t know how they got the song from a lightning rod. I always thought...teachers build engines, song writers race cars. It’s just in this case, you are the engine, so that metaphor is beautifully contradictory and fucked flat on its face. I imagine if Bill burr taught comedy he’d say, “I don’t know, just do it, grab your balls and try to stay honest.” I learned so much from this, more than I ever could from theory in a box. We need to se blues diatonically connected to diminished, diabolically connected to melody. Passing chords and chromatics along the way. The Beatles used to drive two towns away cause they heard someone knew one chord they didn’t know. If you could keep putting shit out like this, honestly, it’s poetry for guitarists. It’s how we used to learn. Thanks CW. Whatever friend suggested you do this, you should listen to them. And if people can’t keep up, they can’t keep up. At least you won’t now have a toilet paper roll’s worth of wrong tabs about your songs. I don’t know what devil you shook hands with, but you tell him for me...it was worth it.
I couldn’t agree with you more. You have a way with words and I’m borrowing that last line, “I don’t know what devil you shook hands with but you tell him for me… it was worth it.”
Getting close to having this one down. Been a real pleasure to learn. Like a favorite book as you watch the pages thin and can't help but grow wistful as the end nears... Thanks for posting this! Whatta treat
I used to be a guitar teacher and identify primarily as a musician but I haven't been able to play much music due to an accident I was in a few years ago and it's been absolutely killing me but your music has really been helping me to get back into it ( even if only in a limited capacity ) and I appreciate this lesson tremendously. Seeing that it seems to be actually you answering these comments I felt I needed to reach out and express my gratitude and encouragement to you for making such lovely, heartfelt music and even going out of your way to help us learn it, I couldn't thank you enough, you've got a life-long fan in me.
I lay across a matress and rest my eyes outside and notice everythings turned a sad shade of grey. I want to hide my sadness and I smile through the pains. An old song creeps up inside of me and my heart grows more weak and I stifle up a cry out as I pray for a night with my man alone in the cold dark ground
Thank you so much for such a selfless act - giving us all your secrets for free. Not that we'd be able to re-create it as you can do. Maybe I could play it, but no way I'll be singing it at the same time :) Love your work Mr Stoneking, particularly the whammy bar use to move between chords! Perfect tuning is for ass-hats!
This is my favourite tutorial video of all time. One day I will get around to learning the song but in the mean time it's nice to watch it all unraveling. It’s a beauty CW!
CW thankyou for sharing this lesson. It is a very generous altruistic act. I can tell that you play from the heart this beautiful melody. So melancholy, such sweet memories you must have, longing for that desert isle. Come back to Canberra please!
Some of the missing names may be: 312XXX = E dim, but is really does look like a Gm chord but it's not, it's in fact Em - that's how it's played in the intro. X213XX = F dim, but can be played as Fm X5656XX = Dm7b5 XXX233E = C9/E
just stumbled on this. 312xxx is actually "just" a C7. that's the only way it makes sense in the context. x213xx I'd say is a Bdim. nevermind, sheer brilliance this song no matter how you name the chords.
Stumbled upon your music recently. Ive been amazed since.. i love the quality of your recordings and can hear some of your influences. Thanks for brilliant music! Hello from Brooklyn NY.
Dont beat yourself up over notes what you have is more valuable than the soulless techno nerds that analyse everything and kill any soul it may have had . I love what you do you have captured the essence of what makes music great .
Love this video please never remove this stuff Chris it's awesome man would love to see you across the ditch in NZ sometime if you ever are thinking on coming here to perform
SEIrU and SEIrI n' crew send you our love and thank you for inspiration to venture yonder even on the worst of times, your image has been on my mind since before I even knew, I've been holding on to your face. I love you so much I try not to neglect the sensitive connection that never left
I really enjoyed this. I really relate to your comments on how you find is strange to try and teach the song. As a song writer and guitar player I tend to do my thing straight from my head don't really name it out. I really do enjoy your playing and your albums. I hope you get to Austin Tx sometime. Keep Rollin the Rock! Chris
Just bought Gon' Boogaloo today. Completed the set of three. All awesome. When's the next one out? This is a beautiful song, exquisitely played. And that Gretsch sounds to die for.
Watched your Premier Rig Rundown and purchased a Timmy pedal right after; so transparent! I've been skeptical buying one for some time, even with so many good reviews. Happy I did! Hope you like the Aqua Puss, perfect for slap-back to fill in small gaps. Hope all is well.
Saw Premier Guitar's Rig Rundown video with you and really enjoyed your playing. Glad to see that you do videos like this too. Cheers from a new subscriber!
I was hoping/wishing/praying/whatevering that you would do a lesson for this song too. I had trouble picking these chords out by ear (wonder why??), but this is my new fave song and wanted to play it. Love your music and really appreciate these lessons Thank you C.W.!
Daddy I love you so much!!! I just wanted to let you know that you because I know that the space we have right now can sometimes be difficult to accept, but my love for you will never fade away in me okay??? 🎉I Celebrate our love everyday Daddy
CW ur a saint been wonderin what is CW dsoin that makes his stuff sound so archaic n pre rock n roll?, what are the chords/ phrasin? must be able to find some hint somewhere??? n then lord behold The man himself is doin tuitions! fuckin amazin man. I should know this stuff but growin up on Nirvana n White stripes n strokes etc etc i never learnt this stuff, then gradually i fell onto Tom Waits n Marc Ribot and Mr CW stoneking n all of a sudden i was completely in the dark guitar wise really. Im clueless with the theory honestly so these tuition vids are fuckin perfection for me... Thank you Mr Stonekind, where are u gettin this stuff? who are u influences? who shopuld I ferret out? if i wanna find stuff with a similiar feel?..... Wonk is the white mans Funk...
You're a cool bloke. Nice too. I hope I get to gobble some of those chicken wings like you put on in Melbourne that time - and you DJ'd too. That was cool.
You're fuckin mad! Magnificent song made even better. This is my favourite video even though I can't be bothered learning this because it's too fuckin hard.
This song is amazing, thanks for the chords...One question, on the original record you used a little bit of trêmolo or just the whammy bar? Brazillian fan here!!
Appreciate you doing these videos CW. I found you by tuba skinny crediting the cover of dodo blues,many years back. How did you do "never get out of this world alive?"
That song I kinda just tried to do in a sorta leadbelly style, it was on the spot I recorded it at a dudes house in Texas, had a hank Williams songbook in front of me to get the lyrics. It was a Hank Williams/Leadbelly anthology album that some guys in Texas put together.
This is the neck pickups right? Those are my favorite pickups Dynasonics that is. I know that Gretsch used to make the toggle opposite of what most companies did.Thanks awesome song.
Yes neck pickup, I wasn't sure if the selector switch on my guitar had been swiveled around the other way by a previous owner or if it came from gretsch like this when it was made. I like these dynastic pickups too.
dear CW, i've been seriously considering buying a jazzmaster. practically everyone I know, inc my brother,, has told me stay away, get a tele. Any thoughts on the ins and outs of jazz v tele for example. Cheers for the tutorial .
Hi, the Jazzmaster is good and a real solid guitar if you take the time to really set it up well, a telecaster is awesome too, if you don’t need a whammy bar then the Tele is super solid & no fuss, you could put a bigsby on a Tele, (but then youre’re back to having to set it up right). I’ve put them on Gibson’s and rickenbackers also have a couple Gretsch with bigsby and they’re all solid good playing guitars, I always use heavyish strings 13-54 or something like that, that makes a big difference for tuning stability too, Jazzmaster do well with heavy strings to as the beak angle at the bridge can be quite shallow. If you look on the offset guitars forum online they have all the tips for setting up a Jazzmaster well. C.W.
I know you’ve deleted you social media, but PLEASE PLEASE don’t ever delete your RUclips videos!
I love learning your songs and going back to this videos xxx
This dudes a bit of a genius. He’s able to make pretty complex Melody’s resolve with no knowledge of theory. Good on ya man.
I love it. Art doesn't need an understanding of the "rules". It's much more impressive to just be able to create without set boundaries and still reach the audience.
He definitely has a grasp of theory if you watch this video and know music theory yourself you should be able to see that
@@alerionhawke5398 Example one: “there’s tonnes of little passing chords in there, I’ve never tried to think of what they’re called??? Mmmhhh???🤔
The saying, “It’s all in the fingers” has never been more true than right now. This cat is brilliant. Thank you Mr. Stoneking.

I learned more in this 20 minutes than in the last 20 years. 🙏

"you lost yet? I am!" love it!
So cool you give these lessons! Appreciate it, really awesome! :)
What a wonderful man you are to have done this. Thank you CW 🙏🏼❤️
This is my favourite tutorial video of all time. One day I will get around to learning the song but in the mean time it's nice to watch it all unraveling. It’s a beauty CW!
best lesson ever. I smiled from start to finish and I learnt a new song. Result!
Hail the King!
What a genuine wonderful man you are Mr. Stoneking, and this song of yours is addictive!
CW thankyou for sharing this lesson. It is a very generous altruistic act. I can tell that you play from the heart this beautiful melody. So melancholy, such sweet memories you must have, longing for that desert isle. Come back to Canberra please!

Thank you sir, nice to see you work through this one. Merry Christmas to you and yours from Dallas Tx.
Such a great song! thanks CW.
Thanks so much for this - one of my favourites of yours. Will be making a stab at this tomorrow! Best
This is such excellent songwriting. I was wondering what you'are actually doing every time I heard this one. Thank you very much for the lesson!
Just bought Gon' Boogaloo today. Completed the set of three. All awesome. When's the next one out? This is a beautiful song, exquisitely played. And that Gretsch sounds to die for.
I'm learning Jail House Blues--three chords with a bass chord. The song inspired me to pick up a guitar again after 25 years.
i just love u....love your spirit.
Thank you for that... I have wanted a closer look at that one.
thanks a lot from Argentina!! you are so kind doing this video!!!!
Living legend
Loving message from SEIrU to you, I really do love youz!
Watched your Premier Rig Rundown and purchased a Timmy pedal right after; so transparent! I've been skeptical buying one for some time, even with so many good reviews. Happy I did! Hope you like the Aqua Puss, perfect for slap-back to fill in small gaps.

Thank you C.W.!
This awsome underwear in the back on this wall disturbs me quite a bit... on a desert isle. Love that song.
This is great
love the sound of the flatwound strings with the dynasonics. I've gotta try some flats on my Gretsch
Love this song
This reminds me of Disney's Robin Hood. Takes me back to another life.
This is the funniest lesson on youtube! Great song too.
Beautiful mate
Absolutely amazing!
Love the lesson CW thank you.

This song is amazing, thanks for the chords...One question, on the original record you used a little bit of trêmolo or just the whammy bar? Brazillian fan here!!
Yes I had amp tremolo on there too
All you kids; listen good; this is how it's done!
I’ve watched this many many times and I’m still unable to get it together
Stone, when you coming to the UK next time?
wow impressive
Appreciate you doing these videos CW. I found you by tuba skinny crediting the cover of dodo blues,many years back. How did you do "never get out of this world alive?"

cwstoneking you should cover lonesome whistle by Hank Williams sir I figured it'd be right up your alley
This is the neck pickups right? Those are my favorite pickups Dynasonics that is. I know that Gretsch used to make the toggle opposite of what most companies did.Thanks awesome song.
Yes neck pickup, I wasn't sure if the selector switch on my guitar had been swiveled around the other way by a previous owner or if it came from gretsch like this when it was made. I like these dynastic pickups too.
thanks a heap!
Come home to stay were u last was were y be safe and very loved
Does anyone know if 'In New Orleans' off the Hiram and Huddie compilation album is an open tuning?
What type of effect/amp does this song use?
when are you coming in Paris?

Break angle not beak angle, beak angle is for the birds.
I'm proud of us all and I am tired now goodnight soon my lovee honeys
Now I want some ice cream
So how many Mel Gibson's did you do?
I am wondering how many times becomes too many times for watching this video? I'm so sorry...
... Still wondering ... Two days in ;) SOS!
Wow, that was so gracious of you to take the time for us mortals to look at what's happening, as befuddling as it may be even to you. lol
That guitar is going to waste
