    I'm 66. I've been playing since I was 15. I play almost every night. I ain't all that bad, imho. However, I usually avoid Willie songs because of all his unique runs and transitions. But, watching this? I'm feeling it. I'm on it!

    I've been playing for almost 20 years... self taught. Wish this guy was around when I was learning. So mediatating and calming. Wonderful teacher.

    Very good lesson. Your teaching style is clear and patient, and you demonstrate the details nicely. I really enjoyed this, one of my favorite Wille Nelson tunes.

    You are an amazing human being. Thank you for this! My nephew just passed away recently a few days shy of 21. I'm trying to learn this for him as I work through my grief. This helps immensely. In addition, I have small hands and struggle with barre chords. By watching you play, after more years than I care to admit, I was finally able to play a barre chord with all the strings ringing through clearly! I definitely will be buying you a drink on your page soon. Thank you so much.

    Willie is am amazing songwriter and a very underrated guitar player in my opinion.He wont blow you away with technical prowess,but it takes a long time to be able to play as"free" as he does as you put it.I admire his soloing ability because every note counts and nothing is wasted.Dude can play that thing!

    • @songnotes
      @songnotes  5 лет назад +3

      For sure! He’s amazing. If you have any requests for songs by him let me know, I plan on doing more for sure sooner than later.

    Just so you know the walk up from low E is E, F, F#, G# not E, F#, G, G#. The walk down from the D is D, C#, C to the B

    Excellent and the song notes are thorough and great! Would love to continue with the "angel" theme and ask if you might consider teaching John Prine's "Angel From Montgomery" or really just any John Prine. Other good options for Prine are "all the Best", "Unwed Fathers" or many others. Lesson was great. Thanks,

      This guy is really really good at teaching and showing techniques a lot better than some I've seen I've been playing for about 50 years and just learned a new way to make a D Minor 7 a lot easier than the old way that I've done it for years up on the neck instead of right there at the head thanks

  • @tomnelson3362
    @tomnelson3362 5 лет назад

    I play a baritone ukulele, I can't do the bass strings that you have so I have to massage everything. But I wanted to say I find your instruction excellent and those with guitars out there would do well to follow your work.

    Nice tone/video. I believe the chords on the verse, "so leave me if you need to..." are A to A7 to D, etc. Your C#M there seems off.

  • @BadToad1963
    @BadToad1963 3 года назад

    Overall, very accurate. However, I noticed a few discrepancies, not all of which I have sorted out yet. Most notably, in the very last line of the song, instead of going from the E to an A it goes to a D and does the walk down to A (Db, B, A). Also, in the previous iteration of the same line, it sounds like it goes A - E - A - D - E with some funny business going on between the D and E that I haven't figured out. There's something weird going on around some of those B7s, too.

      I just followed this tab and played with the music until I got it down, not hard really. The tempo/timing is the hardest part of the solo.

    @candacebaker1796 5 лет назад

    Please please please do another vid for this song and dumb it down for me. Or message me a dumbed down version. I need to know what strings to pick with what chords. You were going so fast that I couldn’t tell. I know you said to be free but I’m a total beginner and I need examples of which ones you would do. I can’t get it to sound as good. I wouldn’t ask this of you but I want to play this song at my grandmothers funeral. I don’t know if that will be a week away or a year. She’s 82 and is not doing well so I doubt she’ll go another year. Please help me and give a more detailed lesson for a beginner. I will be forever grateful!!
