  • A basic lesson on Chris Stapleton's version of "Tennessee Whiskey". This is not a performance or meant to be a note-for-note transcription, but an introduction to how to play the groove of the song.
    If you struggle with barre chords, skip ahead to 10:25 for a capo version.
    Part 2 looks at the song's easy electric guitar intro.

    Five and half years ago, I started taking guitar lessons at the age of 58. I began playing a Squire acoustic that I thought sounded pretty good, at least it got me moving forward. I now have a collection of seven acoustics,4 Gibson and 3 Martin, a Telecaster, and Ibenez ES 335 copy and a Fender acoustic/electric bass. There is an advantage to taking up an instrument when you're no longer a starving student ;-)

    You are an EXCELLENT teacher. I'm a tiny bit ashamed to say that I am only now discovering you. :(
    In the thousands of hours of guitar videos I have watched, not once has anyone demonstrated the D embellishment of the A. Sweet!
    Thanks so much for your lessons. I can't wait to binge-watch your channel!

  • @jeremygibson228

    Love the way you explain the different strumming patterns. Thought I was doing something wrong but was just filling it naturally. I personally like the 456 456 fill with bass note.

    I been playing 5 months ....watched loads of tutorials and some are helpful but the way you explain the beats and how to fill them in and recognise the counting.....makes more sense than any other vid I watched.....i just learnt loads on this vid alone! Thanks for speaking newbie

  • @aamapes
    @aamapes 4 года назад +2

    Great lesson, Dave. I’m also loving the old Guild with mahogany top. I picked up a 1971 last year - really beat up, with repaired headstock, poor neck angle (low saddle and action a bit high), hole in the side from an old pickup installation, plus many other bangs and dings. All of that said, it plays and sounds just great and no worries about taking it camping!

    Does the A/D embellishment begin on the two count or on the four count of the 6/8 time, and does the embellishment hold for two beets or for three beets?
    Overall, this is a great, very helpful, lesson, but that segment is a little bit unclear to me - which is more a reflection of me rather than you, as you’ve explained this lesson much better than any other RUclips lesson of this song
