JPR, Thank you so much. I've been singing and playing John's songs for over 50 years. However, your tutorial fills in notes I've missed. He was a better guitar player than most realized; like you said, simple, yet distinctive. Carry on, brother💚
Hello Jeffrey, after 20 years of playing I discovered the alternating bass style or Travispicking if you like. Very difficult and at the same time yesterday I admitted I will never be a great guitar player so I found a new focus. Simple open chords like John- I do believe I have a pretty good voice so maybe a winner combo. Wish me luck, you just confirmed today what I concluded yesterday. Not kidding. Thank you, it’s all very true We sometimes forget to look at what we can do best. Instead we look at idols that we will never be.
So simple, but so perfect! Thanks for pointing out his roots with John Hurt and Elizabeth Cotton, the Piedmont Blues is the foundation of his work and most people do not get that part of his music. John Prine is where folk and blues come together, the other crossroads
I’ve played John’s songs since the 70s but never correctly, audience loved them anyway. Did his songs hundreds of times in the early 80s and never paid him a dime because we didn’t have one to spare. I hope we at least created a small army of fans for him.
John Prine's songs are intriguing, poetic, philosophical, lyrical and sometimes funny. His picking and strumming patterns seemed unique and somewhat confusing yet looked simple. Thanks for the insights to some of John Prine's techniques. May he rest in peace.
Thanks for this! One of the things I love is how you say "based on" at times, meaning you have the freedom to interpret rather than slavishly copy, you can put yourself into the music and this is how the music changes and develops. Lovely to see a nod in the direction of Elizabeth Cotten and Mississippi John Hurt, too.
JPR- you are spot on with your JP observations of simple but distinctive…..your laid back style of teaching & discussing the great Prine & others cements your position as one of the greats as well! Though I am not as knowledgeable or proficient , your explanation & demonstrations have increased my playing 1000 fold! Thank-you for all you do‼️
Jeffrey....what stands out to me about you...is you are so calm and easy and laid back...and that is an asset for anyone who wants to teach...know your craft...be confident...and be calm about the whole process....alot of so called teachers can`t teach...but you do it like i said nice` n easy....thumbs up to yuh.....just do john prine`s picking sequences 2-3-4x instead of just 1x...it gives people more time to watch and study ok......
Thank you for this. I have been attempting to play these & numerous other John Prine songs for about five years now. Although I can go through the motions & duplicate the chord progressions, they never do sound quite like the originals to my ear. In that way, I find John Prine to be similar to Mississippi John Hurt....the chord progressions are pretty standard fare & easy to learn yet duplicating the original sound tends to be more difficult than one might think initially. There was a certain nuance to each of their styles that is not that easy to caputure.
Firstly you are a great picker....Thanks for sharing that. I still can't play them like John...but as any smart player would I stole a few things! Thanks again!
The live youtube I saw of the bottomless lake really made me appreciate his compositional genius. but it was the intro story that got to me! not present on the record, didn't he write souveniers in a hurry in his car on his way to either a recording session or show and realizing he needed one more song?
A very good player and a pleasant person, but I think that this approach does not give the real idea of John Prine’s unique style, where thumbpick, index picking and thumb fretting are mandatory aspects. Excluding them spoils the whole thing. IMHO.
Thank you for uploading! If you have a second, I recorded some original tunes. As a fellow music fan, I'd love if you'd take a listen. It's on my page. Really apprecaite it!

This is my first time listening to you and I really enjoyed it. God willing i will continue too
Wow!
Thank you so much!
I've played these songs for years, but never listened to just the guitar. You make it seem so easy!
Absolutely lovely thankyou.😊

Thank you! Loved John's music.
Great tutor, enjoy his clear relaxed teaching style:)
You would make John Prime smile. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Now where's my guitar..
Very good lesson. Thanks for clearly simplifying an enjoyable approach to his music. 👍 Thanks
loved this! Thanks!
Amazing lesson! Thank you!
An amazing artist.
John Jorgenson loved recording with him and enhanced the songs that he recorded on.😊
Wonderful lesson...Thank you!
Very nice lesson
Really great! Maybe one day I will really learn to play the guitar!

Sorry for the very delayed reply, but I appreciate the comment.
Wildly good...thanx! That said, I'd have LOVED seeing more what your right hand was doing on the finger-pick stuff like Summer's End. Appreciated.
Thanks! The tab is posted over at the AG site-that might help you sort out the fingerpicking. bit.ly/32HUdqC
Thank you Sir
Qué bello estilo de kantri. Creo que no yo conocía a john prine.
thanks ..and I like your Taylor..Im a Prine fan and I have 4 Taylors...110 414 willcut lmt ed 524 and a 562...they all have their own sound..
I just bought a acoustic guitar. I specifically did so because of John Prine. I can't wait to get picking
Amazing! We have tons of lessons and resources to check out at acousticguitar.com/
Brilliant
Great thanks. Good to have the tabs via the AG site as well great .

Could you do a video showing how to pick “how lucky” by John prine. One of my favourites

On his way to the Fifth Peg. He didn't want to play the same songs he'd played the previous weeks, i.e., Sam Stone, Hello in There and Paradise
Hi, do you have any videos where you teach the patterns? Thx
Nice lesson. I'm not crazy about that strap button location.
Could you possibly share what soundhole pickup you are using?
That guitar has a Fishman Rare Earth Mic Blend, but I don't believe I used it when recording this video.
Thanks so much!! btw, what kind of Taylor is this?
Sorry for the long-delayed reply. It's a 712C from 1990.
@@JeffreyPepperRodgers thanks, great vid. I know have a few amazing Martins and forgot all about Taylor’s, haha. Only kidding, both have their place!
If you are teaching John Prine’s thumb plus index finger style of picking (which was his style) please let me know and I will check out your channel.
thanks a great instrction
Fans of John Prine listen to a tribute song to John Prine by songwriter Dennis Callahan.
Nice lesson! By the way, what model is that thar Taylor?
Just seeing your comment. It's a Taylor 712-C from 1990.
@@JeffreyPepperRodgers It’s beautiful. Taylors just feel “right” and sound great! Thanks!
what tuning? Did john use most.
Standard tuning.

Is that a seagull in the background?
It is. Good eye!
