Justin is one of the VERY few people on YT that is teaching a third chord and different strumming patterns for each chord as on the original. This vid is the way....
This is why I decided to learn guitar. I don't need to become a virtuoso to experience the joy of making music. Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge and encouragement.
@@windrider65 If you were under the influence of Marijuana at the time of reading that comment you’d be rolling on the floor laughing 😂 and screaming, “Stop it “. Those Fred comments are killing me !
The reference is from our radio station way back in the 90’s. Rodney was live in the studio on the Bob & Tom show in Indianapolis and he performed the song, “ Fred’s riding Fred “. I was just off work 3rd shift in the morning and heard it live first time on air. Later the made him say alcohol instead of weed.
I liked the normal two chord tutorials but yours is hands down the closest and most detailed in strumming as well. This is my first song I’m attempting to learn ever, and immediately before deciding this was the song my mind just gravitates to thinking of guitar I’ve loved. Thanks for the video!!
You're lucky you wanted to learn that song first... I loved nothing else matters and spent 2ish months learning it as a beginner lol. Great song though!
I finally learned my first song on guitar 🎸. Thanks to you sir. Please keep up the good work. Keep us motivated, because of your content, i really followed your content from start to finish.
This was the very first song we learned in high school and we only learned it with two chords. I like this variation that does sound a lot closer to the original. I’m a beginner all over again so this is perfect for practicing and I’m glad I found this vid, thanks for covering it!
Many thanks for the super thanks and supporting the channel. It means a lot. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher www.justinguitar.com
You are the best beginner guitar teacher for rhythm… Because of the “down up” teaching style… It is the best way I’ve seen to teach me as a beginner… Thank You!

I noticed this song while searching for song sheets. I knew that I could rely on you to have a lesson ready for this song. I always leave your clips feeling invigorated and keen to practice. 🙏
Justin! You really give us all followers happiness with every single lesson. Your way of presenting and explaining the songs is the best antidepressive therapy ever! Hope you will continue. P.s. many thanks for the Jolene-picking-lesson, it's a great song to perform as a duo.
I am a drummer but really enjoy you very clear explicit lessons and are very helpful to me as a drummer.Your humor intermingled is also refreshing as not to make everything stiff and disciplined its relaxing way to learn.thanks Justin excellent guitar sound also.
Best tutorial for this song I've found yet! As a beginner this really gives me direction on how to practice to play the song at multiple levels of intricacy.
Hey Justin, second chord is a beautiful voicing of a D/F# Major which you can extend with a D on the B string (third fret). I love that shape which you can transpose along the neck using the index finger on the D string two frets away. And as a D major makes sense armonically.
God damn it Justin you're so good! I honestly haven't watched your lessons for a year or two since I have progressed enough to learn on my own, but you have really stepped up your teaching game (imo you were always one of the best guitar teachers on the internet) and I have to say I love it
I have played bass in this song and on beat 3 the bass moves from the F# to a high E and does a minor run down to the low E so to me as a bass player you are definitely right but it only does it at the end of each section
There is a second guitar part as pointed out below, in the chorus. I believe it's a Bm (or something close) and a second fret high E string and G string...A-something perhaps? They harmonize well with the Em and D6.
You really need to tune the high and low E strings down a step to D and the 5th string (A) right down to E, that's how Dewey Bunnell plays it. You get more of an authentic sound. I suggest you go and watch a TH-cam guy called, Shut Up and Play. He explains everything about this song.
Another great camp fire 🔥 song. Thank you for sharing and all you have taught me Justin. Take care of yourself and your family and stay safe. From Charlie.
As always a tremendous lesson, for which thanks. As a matter of interest, I have the sheet music published by Warner Bros. Publications Inc. from way back in the seventies! According to that, the chords are Em at the fourth fret and D9/6 also at the fourth. The chorus is Em9 at the second fret and D Maj 9 at the second. I've never really played the song because I struggle with the Em9 because I have a bit of a crooked little finger.
Justin, THANKS for adding the stuff that makes this sound good and for the heads up to listen for other strum changes on the record. This two chord song could get old quick without the stuff - although very simple is great for beginners.

Hello Justin, Always love your lucid explanations… as for this song you don’t mention the chorus chords of F# maj7 on the 2nd fret and the c#,A and f# on the 2nd fret again…
If you ISOLATE Strings 6 & 5 (E & A) and then go back/forth on the Low E while strumming, you can clearly hear a nice BASS Beat. Then you can add in & emphasize those Bass Strings overall while you play the alternate Em & D(6/9/F#...) This seems to give the overall Song more depth & interest.
Hi Justin, great work as ever! I really enjoy your song lessons! I know you played in a Rolling Stones Cover Band and I'm a big Stones fan myself. Therefore I'd like to ask, if you could do a "Sweet Virginia" and/or a "Ruby Tuesday" lesson some day. Two of my favourite Stones songs and I think especially "Sweet Virginia" has some interesting parts in it, which could be beneficial for guitar learners. Thank you for your good work! Keep on doing it! :)
Thank you so much Justin. Your lessons carried me through the last horrible two years 🥰 Oh and Marty Schwartz called the chord a fancy D. I actually like this a lot 🤣
Justin when I first learned this I could hear the D on the second string being played and released on the second chord. I went back to the original to give it a listen and I still hear that D being played for a half beat. Tell me if you hear it too. Maybe it is part of another guitar part but I definitely hear the D.
The first video about the songi have seen that gets the strumming and third chord right. Very easy to learn, but hard to do actually right it seems. xD
Justin, what about the muted part around beat 2 I think? (Sorry I'm a beginner). I've seen other videos include that where they mute and strum there. You can hear it in the song too. Also I just bought the subscription to your app. I'm loving it so far, thanks for being you
Ya Justin!!! Since we doing America can you please go thru the chords of sister golden hair a thousand thanx !!!??? I'm a bit 😭😭😭 with that at the moment

The horses name was Justin
Rodney couldn't remember his name so he just called him Fred.
From one cat to another, I approve.

Justin, you are the best guitar teacher ever! Thank you for everything you do for us!
Tbh I’ve learned this song years ago, but I’m still watching because you’re so entertaining!
How much of a Legend do I feel now,...Playing HWNN with 3, yes THREE, count 'em...chords...Cool 👍
Justin! You really give us all followers happiness with every single lesson. Your way of presenting and explaining the songs is the best antidepressive therapy ever! Hope you will continue. P.s. many thanks for the Jolene-picking-lesson, it's a great song to perform as a duo.
I agree with this comment! So amazingly therapeutic and great explanations to amazing songs. I appreciate all you do!
Thank you Justin I've learned a few songs from you I have one finger cut short doesn't stop me from playing some of the chords
This is my first song, 3rd video of instruction on TH-cam. You explained it best, especially the strumming rhythm.
I am a drummer but really enjoy you very clear explicit lessons and are very helpful to me as a drummer.Your humor intermingled is also refreshing as not to make everything stiff and disciplined its relaxing way to learn.thanks Justin excellent guitar sound also.
Just joined up on the website and I recently bought your beginner book. You've done more for me in one day than most teachers have period. Thank you!
Great guitar lessons for people like me, real beginners. Thanks a lot for your help!
This lesson has been very helpful. Thank you Justin!
Best tutorial for this song I've found yet! As a beginner this really gives me direction on how to practice to play the song at multiple levels of intricacy.
Thanks for the tastiest rythm lesson I know of !!
Signed: Sort of intermidiate player !

No need to blaspheme to get your point across.
This is definitely an easy song as far as the chords and strumming go, but a nice challenge to add in the singing without messing up your strumming!
This was very helpful, thank you! 🙏
I have played bass in this song and on beat 3 the bass moves from the F# to a high E and does a minor run down to the low E so to me as a bass player you are definitely right but it only does it at the end of each section
There is a second guitar part as pointed out below, in the chorus. I believe it's a Bm (or something close) and a second fret high E string and G string...A-something perhaps? They harmonize well with the Em and D6.
Timing (counting) is EVERYTHING!! Cheers, Justin!! :)
I use Em and D6/9 in the verses then EM and Bm for the chorus. Works for me

Thanks Justin, still on of my favorites from my era (OLD)!!!

Hello Justin, Always love your lucid explanations… as for this song you don’t mention the chorus chords of F# maj7 on the 2nd fret and the c#,A and f# on the 2nd fret again…
Love you ! 😂
Hi Justin...Love from Texas, Mate!
Justin! Your guitar and amplifier collection looks epic :-D America, the band named after where I was born! Peace and Love
