“I love these words, don’t you? They’re fantastic!” You’re beard’s grey as mine, my Dude! You must remember the 1970’s golden age of radio when for a time this song was played several times an hour! These words aren’t fantastic. They’re iconic! 😁 But this is loving poke… great lesson. Thank you so much for making it.
Thank you for your excellent, methodical lesson on this beautiful song. I’d also like to compliment you on your Blueridge guitar. I bought a cutaway, electric (c e acoustic) Blueridge acoustic guitar in 2007 at an antique shop in Nova Scotia, Canada. Mine has a deep rich tone, much like yours. I recently purchased a beautiful Taylor ce acoustic, but my Blueridge is still near and dear to me. I look forward to viewing more of your guitar lessons with your Blueridge featured prominently. Thank you
Great tutorial. You explained this song very well. One note when JD plays then on his 12 string he uses drop D tuning. I believe its easier to do this when it's time for the G chord. Fingerpicking 12 is difficult. I use a 855 Taylor 12. Grabbing barre is harder on 12s also as the Bm. Great song. 40 year player. We should never touch of these great songs
the F#m is the chord that really matters on, as he only has to barre the first three strings, and use his pinky and third fingers to fret the A and low E strings on the same fret... Note his G chord is 5x003x, and he plays the into D and Dsus chords at open position. The 3rd position line is played by a second guitar and a mandolin.
Got my steel string out for the 1st time in ages, suffice to say I don't have calluses, but, I'm determined to get there. Thanks so much for breaking it down ❤
"You feel up my senses like a night in the forest". Absolutely haunting lyrics! Anybody who has ever spent a chilling, dark night, surrounded by tall pine trees, strange noises, smells... Best love song from my teen years. You do a great job!
good tutorial even still the sound is a little bit different somehow maybe the only possible way is to play it with 12strings similar to rhymes and reason hard to achieve the sound with regular 6 string. BTW you have a peaceful voice sir
sir, I tried this song but its really tough for me to play, is there any easy way to play this song using a capo? that case which chords I can use, plz tell me.(and sorry for my bad English)
I would be curious to know what is behind six “thumbs down” dislikes?!? But then I realized how anyone unable to appreciate one’s ability to share their time and talents, help others enjoy something as much as they, and in the process, do a damn fine job (thanks Hal!), is likely an unhappy person. So...I’m VERY grateful those six sad souls reduced their feelings to a non-verbal, meaningless “gesture.”
Slashley gibbins who cares if someone is curious why our world has become bitter, negative, resentful, cowardly. I still don’t have an answer to my question regarding the “what” but you’ve made it more clear about the “who.” I’m sure the six people appreciate your advocacy! Per your helpful suggestion, I will now get back to the videos.
Patrick Brain you, yourself said it was ‘meaningless’. Some people don’t like the video and some people thumbs down just because they can, but most love the video.. everybody has the right to their own freedom of thought and actions which is a wonderful thing. The opposite to freedom is a terrible thing.
Slashley gibbins I’m puzzled how “curiosity” became a communist manifesto wherein I proposed a mandate that people think or agree in like manner?!? The point of my BENIGN intent was simply meant as a point of consideration; “what” about the video was so objectionable and if it is/was, why in the hell would that person stick around? I guess it’s now a luxury to the hide behind anonymity. I certainly didn’t expect a civic’s lesson about freedom. But since society is routinely educated and enlightened by poly-sci scholars like Lebron James, I shouldn’t be too surprised to experience the same through comment sections on social media.
I saw a teaching on this song in a open G tuning and I saw him use that tuning in a video on you tube, I'm trying to recall that teaching but can't find it. The open cords are nice for the song but I truly would like to play it as I see him play it in open G as he plays it on the video. Can you help. Thanks
Hi Andy, John Denver did not play this song in open G tuning. I was starting to write that "I don't really have an interest in doing a video teaching Annie's Song in open G tuning but if you learn how to play these chords in open G you will be on your way." But the more I think about it the more interested I get in working with an open G tuning. Let me think about it some more. Thanks. Hal
@@quailstudios hello sir, yes he had played it in that tunning after I tuned my guitar to that tunning I played along with the video, It also made since to me because it was easier to play the cords that was moving on a twelve string and it sounded fuller. If interested I'll send the video of him playing in that tunning. Thanks, Enjoy your teachings Andy
Wow, absolutely the best breakdown of this song I have ever seen. Perfection. Thank you for sharing this.
As you noted...he plays it on a 12 string live. But not teaching it in drop D? C'mon man...that's what makes the song so damn beautiful.
“I love these words, don’t you? They’re fantastic!” You’re beard’s grey as mine, my Dude! You must remember the 1970’s golden age of radio when for a time this song was played several times an hour!

Cukup detil...aku tdk mengira bgt jauh dari yg kukira...
Absolutely beautiful. Watched the full rendition of your playing/singing it. Made me cry. I'm excited to learn it!
Thank you Susan.

The Blueridge is my favorite guitar to play. I'll use it on my next live stream. Changing strings this morning.

As always, very nice! An intro with playing the song you teach for a minute or so would be even nicer. Thank you again for your videos :-)

I see Quail Studio Guitars and I know it’s right.
Ah... thank you. I wish I was right all the time. :)
good tutorial even still the sound is a little bit different somehow maybe the only possible way is to play it with 12strings similar to rhymes and reason hard to achieve the sound with regular 6 string. BTW you have a peaceful voice sir
The 12 string sound is very unique but I don't have a 12 string so I have to get by with my 6 string.

Ha ha... I guess we can't please everyone. Thanks, Patrick, for your comment and support. Love it!
Who cares if someone put a thumbs down? That’s their choice. Just enjoy the video.

@@quailstudios it was either open G or open D, but I KNOW it wasn't In standard tunning.
@@quailstudios I meant drop D
What a fabulous tutorial, thank you!
You're welcome, Steve. Thanks for watching!
Are you tutoring guitar or you telling story about john just step by step not jumpiing to other cord
Lovely warm voice. Thanks
