Great job picking the guitar. Lo the old song. I like ur voice! Keep up the video's like ur singing guitar picking. Also great ur microphone was just right.😊😊😊😊😊😊
I was typing a comment asking about going from the IV chord (G) down to the ii chord (Em), and I thought, "Wait, did I miss something learning this?" So that sent me off on a listening tour of versions of this song. Gene Autry didn't use the minor chord, I found another version that only did in certain verses, and then Merle Haggard used it through the whole song, I think because he tended to sing it super-slow, like a lonesome funeral dirge (which it kind of is...), and he needed something interesting to fill it up a little better. Plus, the minor chord makes it even sadder. So do you play it this way because that's how you learned it? Or is there another reason?
quite often I will listen to many variations of a song to hear the way different people interpret them. I really didn't notice the minor in the Merle Haggard recording until I heard it more defines in other versions. The way I ended up doing it was a fluke. I intended on using the minor on the chorus but not the verses but forgot and just used it all the way through. I decided to keep it that way and kind of glad I did. I appreciate your comment and thanks for listening.

@@DanielLDavis-df3uy Once you hear it, you just reflexively want to walk the bass line down.
