This is absolutely spot on. This deserves to be the top result when this song is searched. Thanks so much for posting this. (Especially for posting it without asking us to go to your website and pay for the second half or something.)
Thanks man! I will say, I listened to the movie track of this over and over trying to get it as right as I could so I'm glad that you think it's on point!
@@TimGuitarLessons - Another great thing you do is play the whole song first right at the start. So many people go right into the tutorial without playing the song to let us hear what we're getting into. That drives me nuts. This is exactly what I want from a lesson. I suppose the only thing that could take this to the next level is tabs to go along with it, but so far I haven't even needed them.
A lot of people have mentioned tabs... I never really used tabs though so they’re more confusing to me than they are helpful. I imagine that if I tried tabbing out lengthy riffs, I’d write them wrong
Brilliant video. Thanks so much. It strikes the balance well between explaining enough to be clear, but not so much that it goes too slowly. First video I've seen of yours and I'll certainly be looking for more.
Tim you by far instruct the best versions of any song I’m looking to learn. Not to mention, almost every song I looked up to learn, sure enough you’ve broken it down to learn. 👍🏾
BEEN PLAYIN THE OLD GIT FOR YEARS ,..AND NEVER SEEN OR TRIED THESE PROCEEDURES..GOTTA AT LEAST TRY,...BUT BEEN RETIRED FROM GIGGIN.' FOR YEARS,...STILL LOV IT THO..!!
Thanks Tim, I have been messing with this one off and on for a while. I really enjoy your teaching style and accuracy; I'm determined to add this one to my playable list now.
Thanks Mark! Eventually it just clicks and then you’ll have it. It took me a couple days of very repetitive practice to get that intro riff fluid, but the most difficult thing was trying to figure out the right movements and timing of them... lots of listening to the first 10 seconds of the track from Oh Brother Where Art Thou... but I’m pretty sure what I’m showing you here is the most accurate depiction on TH-cam of how it’s played on the track! Thanks for the support Mark!
Tim, excellent video on explaining the techniques used by Tyminski on his guitar playing of this song. Don't know why anyone would give this video a dislike, perhaps these people may not understand the purpose of the video and probably looking for something else a little more instructional or basic.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful... People give thumbs down for all kinds of reasons hahaha, but I'm certainly glad that you like the video!
Tim, your tutorials are always so damned good. I don't know how you maintain your concentration picking apart a song so slowly but, man, am I glad you do. Love this particular song and so much of the other stuff you cover and break down, most especially Jason Isbell. Someday you're gonna have to show your face though! Thanks man!
You're welcome - going to start learning it today. If I can get it down half as well as you I will be happy!! Thanks again for your time and effort in sharing your work.
Good lord this is bloody difficult. You broke it down in such a way that I think I might actually get it at some point, even it'll take me half a years. Great vidoe, thanks!
This is a class lesson. Watched it over and over. I understand every word and my guitar has the same strings and frets as yours, but I still can't play it! Watch this space in 2021!!
As usual an absolutely spot on lesson to a song I actually want to learn to play. You are the best...thanks! My Patreon money is well spent with your channel! In watching Dan Tyminski play this in various live versions, he plays the intro and outro the same but seems to generally improv/free form some of the fills and riffs throughout the song. Said differently he never plays it exactly the same way twice...kinda like watching Keith Richards play Honky Tonk Women. He has mastery of all the licks and just flows with it. But there is one riff he plays a few times where he very clearly hits a harmonic. On the main soundtrack version examples (to my ear) include 0:24 and 0:58. I know it's just one of the riffs he's cycling through but to me it's kind of signature and differentiated...and I can't figure it out! Any idea what he's doing there?
Great job. You must have learned this from watching someone play it. Because I've been trying to learn it for some time. And this is the most accurate lesson I've been able to find. I wish you would play it all the way through. With lyrics. So I could practice along with it. If not though. And you know a good video to watch. Please share a link. Thanks a bunch!
Great lesson, well taught. Thanks so much. My only quibble would be that in watching vids of Tyminski I don't ever see him going to that B string during the intro...although it does sound nice if you can pull it off :)
After quite some time since having made this lesson to think about it, I tend to agree with you. But, I can also 100% hear that note in there in the recording still. If I were to go back and reteach this lesson, I would have it in double drop d, with the note in question (d) being played by striking the high open 1 string as opposed to fretting it on the 2 string 3 fret
Good lord man, the resonance on that guitar is purrrrrfect. Even with the little bit o buzz. Great job. Thankyou. My favorite of the 5 or 6 I just looked at to learn her.
I haven't played with a pick for 30 years. I've just picked it up again but I feel like I'm playing with an Abalone sea shell. Just gets stuck on all the wrong strings. Anyway I'll persist. Haha. Good on you for sharing these vids and technique.
I used to play with really thin picks to combat this but even that became a crutch and just didn't sound right. Hang in there, you'll get the hang of it. 😉😎
Awesome lesson!! Thanks! Any chance of doing lessons on some old Band of heathens stuff like medicine man, golden calf, or somebody tell the truth? Thanks!
Thanks Brett! It's been a super long time since I've listened to Alison Krauss and Union Station... but man are they good. Jerry Douglas is a beast. Any song in particular you had in mind?
@@TimGuitarLessons I didnt get to see this time around unfortunately . th-cam.com/video/ggFczQukz1U/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/qGjWiBGBNQw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/9shVKjHkKy8/w-d-xo.html
Better than many. The real key, especially to the radio station version, is the strumming and accents. What notes are muted? What drone notes ring? Listen to the harmonic accent and the driving bass. The fingering is relatively easy but just playing straight strumming doesn't capture the dynamics.
Hey Phillip... I am not in double drop d here... though, honestly, if I could do the lesson over I probably would have used double drop d. I'm usually pretty meticulous about trying to use the precise tunings as the artists use, and there are a few videos floating around out there of Dan Tyminski playing it... So I suspect that whenever I made this video, there must have been something visibly or audibly that I noticed him doing to make me think he was just in normal drop d and not double drop d.

@@TimGuitarLessons - Fair enough. I think you do a good enough job explaining everything here that it works well enough without them.
@@TimGuitarLessons I used to depend on tabs, but now find that just watching and listening is much more effective.
This song has got some kinda grip on my soul. Im obsessed with the tone and rhythm. Not to mention Dan’s voice which to me is something in its self.
Yeah his vocals are unreal......😮
I’ve been looking for a video like this since I first saw the movie. You’re amazing man
Thanks Hunter! I appreciate the positive feedback!
Far and away the most helpful tutorial I've found. Thank you so much! :-)

Well explained and nicely played. I dig this song since the day I saw Clooney sang it in the movie.
Paulo,
That was Dan Tyminski you heard.
@@longjonwhite you are saying Clooney wasn't singing just play back? If so he surely did a good job!...

@@TimGuitarLessons I get what you mean, it’s very tricky getting this right indeed. The tuning has been alluding me for years.
What are some other songs with this same gritty sound? This sounds more like fast delta blues than bluegrass to me. I'm confused
there is some Cajun in there, in the Tyminski album recording there is also an accordeon playing
