My grandpa plays this song on his guitar, and when he plays it for me, it makes me sooo happy. So i thought that I would learn it and sing it to him. Thank you for the lesson! 😊
That is great to hear and made my day! I can't wait for you to learn the song and play it for him. I am sure he will love your playing! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment!
SHANE, honestly this has been one of your very BEST LESSONS due to the visual aids...the chord charts and tabs and lyrics/chords were FANTASTIC!....Could improve with camera focusing on both hands to get better picture of your strumming/picking patterns...that would HELP ACROSS ALL YOUR LESSONS...A clear view of your hands and their positioning/actions....ALSO WOULD LOVE FULL TABBING of entire song....With all that said Shane THIS WAS THE BEST, MOST COMPLETE lesson I've seen so far and GREATLY, GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! Motivated me forward as I've faced a guitar wall this week! THANKS!!!!
Good ideas Frank! I am looking for ways to make the videos better and help people learn the guitar and these songs faster and in a more enjoyable way. I will try to implement some of those in the future! Thank you for the feedback and the support of the Country Guitar Classics channel. I am grateful!
Many thanks for this excellent video for a beginner Watched it with wide open eyes! Listened to your beautiful singing that encourages to play this classic song. God bless
I know this is an older vid now, but just wanted to say thanks for the time you spent to produce it. I do a lot of drone footage, I know the work you put into it. I was looking for the basics to this tune, my wife's favorite, and you provided it. She just bought me a new Martin D-35, I promised her I'd play this for her, so here I am. You sound like a great guy, thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much Mike. And thank you for the sweet teas! Man I am jealous! I have always wanted a Martin! I need to get me one. I am glad the video helped and hope you are enjoying your guitar. Thanks again for the support and leaving a comment!
Keith had it all. Tore me up when he passed away. I heard his grandma say that the first drink Keith had made him a hopeless alcoholic. So damn sad. It's almost like some people can't handle one drop of the stuff.
I've been obsessing over getting this song right for a year now. I've watched all the other tutorials which were informative as far as the basic chords. Thanks to this I have it now. Basically the g to the c to the g after the initial lick and the f over g deal after g. But now thanks to this I got it. Thanks a million man
shane , I can't tell you how much i appreciate this lesson....takes me back to the early 80's, of great country dance bars having nashvilles greats and near greats come in and play to maybe 500 people jammed in a tonky honk havin the best time of their lives....and that Angelic voice of Keith reaching thru our hearts and pierceing our souls. We were young . God Bless America !
Yes for sure Hazel. I can relate. That song song was played at my grandmothers, two uncles and one of my Aunt's funerals. Such a powerful song! It would be my pleasure to make a video on how to play that song. Thank you for watching the videos and I am sorry to hear about your loss.
@@countrymusicguitarclassics Sir,are you serious? I'm crying so hard,I find it hard to text this. This one was one of the reasons I even wanted a guitar! Sobbing. Damn man thanks. I'll surprise my sister with it. She knows I have one on the way, but doesn't know why. Sir, ETERNALLY GRATEFUL/HUMBLED!( not yelling) it's how I emphasize. Thanks again. 😊
Excellent tuitorial as usual Shane. Going out of town for our 43 anniversary will be learning this great song by a great artist later this week. Glad you did this tuitorial. I grew up on old country classics. Keep up good work. God Bless you and thanks.
I went to a McDonald's on Rt 17 in New Jersey a few years ago, to my surprise and delight there was a country singer in the corner section with an acoustic guitar...he performed this song and I asked him later what the song was and who sang it..i never heard it before and I loved it, he sang and played with such emotion..and I asked him where he is from...Brooklyn, he replied! I thought about that moment, and now I want learn how to play it.
That is a cool story Rick! It is one of the best country songs ever. Who knew Mcdonald's has live entertainment! Thanks for sharing and best of luck learning this song.
That is great to hear and thank you for subscribing. You have a beautiful state! From the Mountains to the ocean and the Outer Banks, to great fishing, your state has it all Jimmie!
@@countrymusicguitarclassics thanks so .much where monroe is we are 3or so hours from the myrtle beach and 3 orson hours from the great smokey mountains
You are welcome! It is one of the best country songs ever. Hopefully the video will help you learn to play it so it can give you just as much enjoyment as it has me all these years. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hey Shane I've enjoyed each one of ur lessons and learned a lot of songs but one I like to learn is Ricky Van Shelton somebody lied if u have the time thanks again for lessons and keep being a great teacher
Hello Shane: Hope you doing OK haven't seen any new guitar tutorials lately hope everything is fine. Been worried about you. Take care and God Bless you.😊
Thanks for subscribing and tuning in! Hope you enjoy learning these songs as much as I have. All the best Holty and thanks again for watching the videos and subscribing!
Hey Shane, I really like your videos and appreciate what you are doing especially for me as a beginner. Would you please do a video on the Josh Turner song Hometown Girl? That song has very special place for My Wife and I. Thank You So Much again and God Bless.
Thank you very much for this solid well taught lesson you’re by far the best out there for this song it brings a tear to my eyes every time I play along with it couldn’t thank you enough I’m new to your channel and subscribed right away and am definitely looking forward to all future lessons you can give, I also discovered that playing D/F# instead of G/F# sounds a bit better hope that’s an okay substitute for this legendary song ❤️
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. Sure substitute whatever you need to if it sounds good to you then by all means do it! I appreciate you subscribing and watching the channel!
Shane would you be so kind as to put together a lesson with 10 or 15 common guitar licks used in country music...maybe licks used by Willie, Merle, Garth, Alan Jackson.. Please include guitar tab diagrams...I find sheet music/tabs but rarely see the licks...Thank you!!!
Thank you for the feedback Richard. Good to hear. I wish I had been doing them all along .i need to go back and add them to my older videos. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Absolutely! That is a powerful song by Merle. And thank you so much for your support of the channel! It means a lot and only motivates me to make the lessons and videos better for people!
No worry man. You seem very sincere about what you're doing. And you're doing a good job of showing people. I've been picking since I was 13 but I think I've forgotten more than I know, lol. So you're doing good.
@@countrymusicguitarclassics thanks man. Maybe a simplified version without barre chords ? I don’t know why I struggle so much when I learned most open chords in just my first few months of playing.
If people don't know these three cords, they aren't ready for this song! Js..Teach cords on one video, then teach the song. Js.. If I sound grumpy forgive me. But think about what I'm saying. To much talk is confusing! And telling 5 ways to do something, there are many ways, share one, do another video of how to do it differently. You'll get more hits also. Js.. God bless..
No worries Wade! I apprecaite the honest feedback and trying to help make the videos better and the channel better. I will keep working and using some of the suggestions to make them better. Here are some of my different playlist that show how to play chords. I am not sure if this was what you were suggestion or not. Thanks for you comment. I sincerely apprecaite it! www.youtube.com/@countrymusicguitarclassics/playlists
@@countrymusicguitarclassics I think you are doing great, some of us need a little more information, if they don’t, there are a lot more guitar instructors on TH-cam!
