The very first song I learned to play back in 1962 at the age of 8 years old. I could hardly reach over the guitar to play. It hurt my shoulders, arms, and fingers. My guitar teacher made me learn the notes and the basic open chords, then taught me this song. I loved the song and was excited I could play a whole song. 60 years later I still play it on my Fender Stratocaster and still love it. You did an outstanding job here refreshing my memory.. Thanks so much!!!
thanks i am 76 years old with your help learned to play this old gem in about 3 weeks my first song.. keep up the good work i have been playing for about 6months
I have been picking this tune out with just single notes, no strumming, for over two years now. Have tried several times to add in some strumming to no avail. Thanks to your excellent detailed instructions I have finally succeeded. Well done, sir.
I just wanted to say thanks! I learned this song a few years ago using single notes, good enough for people to recognize, but I knew it wasn't right. Anyways, I've sat here most of the day, but I finally got it, & now I feel like a real guitar player! Thank you!
I used to play this in my teens only basicly, gave up guitar for many years, but now now am learning to play the tune with some pzazzz. You make learning fun, thank-you!
I've always loved this song. I'm in my 20ies, so I'm glad my mom introduced me to so much music when I was little. Only recently I took up learning to play guitar so I could accompany myself all the songs I'm always singing when I'm alone. Since I don't own a piano anymore I've come to realize life without playing music is just not right :) Thank you for teaching and greetings from Germany.
I've watched a lot of videos and even tried to learn from some people I know since I started trying to learn guitar. Your videos are great and you are a very good teacher. You've been a big help thank you.
Thank you. What a great, complete lesson, no nonsense no time wasted. I love the last "Mother Maybelle " (sp?) version -- and will be so happy when I can play the first, simplest version, which is so beautiful already. ... Thanks again. Keep'em comin'.
Thank you very much mister! You made this pretty easy for a beginner like myself. I've been on it for about a week now and just cleaning it up with your recommended up strumming, sounding pretty good. I love my banjo more than anything, but had to sell it. But a friend of mine gave me an old beat up Harmony guitar so I could have something to play! I will learn everything I can til Im blessed with another banjo! Thank you again!
Thank u so much just found ur videos they have been great to watch &, Thanks for ur time- I don't have some of the family around anymore to sit around & teach us younger folks this stuff. I wish I would have stuck wth it years ago learning at 40 is 3 times slower than my kids but ur videos are actually helpful I have learned a few things 👍🏼🎸
Hi Bill Terrific thing, like everything you upload to youtube. As I saw took my acoustic guitar, and while he was playing that song, with your explanation, I polished all the missing details. I thank you most sincerely for your job is to spread the music worldwide and in this case is to receive only a joy for the spirit doing a good deed. A big hug, and may God bless you always, Jose Luis from Buenos Aires. (I wonder if you have any books to play banjo and / or DVD, instructive, by Ebay?))
Cool. Sounds like Jimmy Martin's version of "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain"... they would alternate between A and D. With Crowe working the tuners... nice.
+Buggabugga Huggahugga i stand corrected...but jeesh it took too long to hear what u gonna show us how to play... unlesss someone already knew what that was they were lost...till u just played for few sec... it helped alot ty ...now play the song
I can play the song from front to back picking out each individual note and it sounds better than yours and is much simpler. You people out there just look for a simple tab and you'll have more fun!!!!

You're my new favourite gFiddler lesson giver on this tube of you, danke! its a really beautiful picture that this song paints, sad, but consolable.
Wow, I am 70 and want to learn to play acoustic guitar ... this is a great song I would love to learn first.

+Brook Williams Stay patient and diligent. It will pay off. Glad I could be of help.
Brook Williams
Nice tutorial. Not used to this kind of playing so this is a fun song to practice on.

I decided this had to be among my "must learn" tunes. Give me a few weeks and I think I may have it.
Good for you! I only wish there was a "boy" version us guys could sing. Such a pretty song.
williamanesbitt
Well, my singing isn't that great, so I'll just concentrate on the picking.
+williamanesbitt Back in the 60s the Lilly Brothers recorded a version, and it was a vocal.
Cool. Sounds like Jimmy Martin's version of "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain"... they would alternate between A and D. With Crowe working the tuners... nice.
Wish I could do that

+Buggabugga Huggahugga i stand corrected...but jeesh it took too long to hear what u gonna show us how to play... unlesss someone already knew what that was they were lost...till u just played for few sec... it helped alot ty ...now play the song
boo
we use to do it in C then move it to G and every time we changed we would pick up the speed and the people loved it
I can play the song from front to back picking out each individual note and it sounds better than yours and is much simpler. You people out there just look for a simple tab and you'll have more fun!!!!
if u played the damn song instead talk and hesitate throught out the intire song just once for the viewer it might be nice.
