I’ve been touring the internet for a clear approach to Western swing Rhythm guitar. Many many thanks, this video unlocked quite a few doors. Regards from Hastings East Sussex
I've wanted to learn this song for ages and this a great lesson! Love that it starts out with simple but great sounding version and then offers some extras you can add on when/if you're ready. Thanks! PS- I knew this went back to Bob Wills but I didn't know it went back to 1921, wow!
Hi. First of all I want to say your videos are really concise and to the point and they have helped me immensely. But I have a question. In your first inversion of the E7 (at 12:43) you use the E, G# and B but you omit the D. Isn't the D the flat 7th that makes the chord an E7? Without the D isn't that just an E? I understand omitting the B (the 5th) in the main chord you use but how can you omit the flat 7th and it still be an inversion of an E7? Also isn't your second inversion for the E7 actually the better choice for the chord, since it uses the B? I am not criticising you. I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason but I'm confused! Thanks
Good question! You're totally correct that inversion you pointed out is indeed just an E triad with no 7th. Just a typo in the video copy 🤠 Also, any option is a good option, but I specifically use the first inversion to create a walking bass line that covers a wider territory when placed in context with the root position and 2nd inversion E7. It mimics some of the chord progressions that I've seen Joey McKenzie and Whit Smith use. Hope that helps, thanks for the comment!

Do you play sock rhythm style? What about walking bass chord inversions?

@@HayesGriffin Wow. Thank you so much. Your videos are very helpful.
What model guitar is that? A Gibson?
Very nice
I'm not a rank beginner but still.. What key is it played in? I'll guess it is the key of G.
Definitely the key of G 🤠👍
A hat indoors?
