  • 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.

    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!

    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 ;-)

    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!

    • @NashvilleGuitarGuru
      @NashvilleGuitarGuru  6 лет назад

      Good point. The goal is to really absorb the rhythm rather than just the physical movement of the strum. The strumming pattern is just the way the rhythm is expressed...the back and forth of the swinging arm keeps time, and we hit the strings at the appropriate moments. Take a look at the "Sing & Play" workshop excerpts on this channel.
