Verse: 00:45
Chorus 7:43
Bridge: 13:56
As always, if you would like to go directly to me playing it uninterrupted with guitar chord notations, click here: 23:23
"Take Me Home, Country Roads" is a song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver about West Virginia. In March 2014, it became one of four official state anthems of West Virginia, and is a favorite among bluegrass enthusiasts.
On this video I teach the break -- measure by measure, phrase by phrase, using on-screen tablature, then I put it together -- slowly at first, then faster toward the end, adding rhythm guitar audio overlay and on-screen chord prompts.
Free downloadable tab sheets (PDF) and play-along tracks (MP3) for this and many other tunes are available at my website, www.littlerockbanjo.com.
Hope you enjoy.

Thank you very much.
Mr. Nesbitt, you are a gentleman and a scholar, and a damn fine musician and teacher!
Thank you.
Bill, i have played music most of my life & worked in bands playing guitar or bass but had lost a lot of my passion for music until a friend bought me a banjo & i started learning your arrangements...I just want to say thanks for inspiring me and after 7 weeks and many hours every day, i can now play the Ballad of Jed, Foggy Mountain Breakdown part 1 & 2, and the verse & chorus of Country Roads (which is a lovely arrangement)...Thanks for giving me my love of music back...
Just hearing your voice gives me confidence. Your arrangements and teaching methods are superior. Thanks Bill 🙏
I' d like ti learn Randy Lynn rag maestro! Thank you for your lessons

Just what the doctor ordered! All explained in easily digested form, with TAB to boot. Thankyou thankyou and thanks again.
Best lesson on UA-cam for this song on banjo.
Best version of this song on banjo!
We moved to Ireland about a year ago, decided to buy a banjo a few months ago to learn something new...and your teaching stands out above the rest and keeps me motivated...thank you Bill. Hoping to see some Irish tunes in the future...blood of cú chulainn or something outside the mainstream.
Excellent! Just excellent! Thanks so much.
Thank you Bill. Good to see another of your excellent lessons.
Great stuff. Just what I've been looking for: play along...you are an awesome instructor! Tnx!
Thanks for this Bill, much appreciated!
like your guitar lessons, keep it simple great....ever think about going over the way Sonny James played the guitar behind his singing? Other then Young Love no one on you tube goes after the way Sonny played his Martin with strums and runs almost always showcased in his hits.....Eddie Rabbit was another great the showcased the acoustic in a lot intros to his hits.....
absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much, been hoping you would do this one. I love all your videos.
Your feel is unmatched. I am new at the banjo but not to playing an instrument (drums in Vegas). Your lessons are very good but the feel is most important. I will continue listening to you. Thank you.
Your FMB was my first lesson...This is my second. Thanks BIll!
Thank you for your video lessons. This one is great too. I’ve learned a lot from your lessons. I love the slow breakdown and the tabs are always a plus for me.
Thank you so much for doing these Me. Nesbitt, I picked up the banjo in November and I haven't been able to put it down since, thanks to your videos. I've been using your videos since Nov. Thank you for making them, they make banjo playing/learning new songs much easier
Thank you Sir.
Mr. Nesbitt, since I got my first banjo two weeks ago I keep looking for good instructional videos. As a teacher I can truely say, that your teaching style and the making of the clips are really professional and very helpful. I just explored your website and discovered this amount of free tabs. Thank you for that! Greetings from Germany to Little Rock!
Awesome, lookin forward to learning this
I’ve finally got it! I’ve been working on it for weeks; perfect! Your awesome!
This is brilliant and so well set out. Thank you so much!
I’ve been waiting for this!
Thank you I have been looking for a simplified version of this song. I love your tabs they are very easy to follow and play.
Thank you very much for your videos and lessons and tabs. God bless you. Be safe. Greetings from Brazil!

Always a pleasure Mr. Nesbitt, is there any where I can support your channel?

Just go to Bill's website and buy some lesson hours. Let him know you're not taking lessons and the hour(s) you are buying...are his.
Amazing!
Reminds me of III time out's version. Good stuff!
I have a song request for you to do if you don't mind. I would like to learn how to play soldiers joy part A and B. You are a good teacher i would understand it more from you.
Sunny side of the mountain would be a good one!
Hi. Love your teaching technique with tab on screen, Has helped me loads. Would be great if we could buy the complete songs you play or your versions in tab complete. I certainly be interested in them please.
Please make a video on how to play red rocking chair all I can find seems to be claw hammer
grazie
Mr. Nesbitt I would like for you to make a banjo lesson for Fox on the Run
Hi Bill - First of all, huge fan - your lessons/videos are amazing and have led me to playing after a long hiatus! Question - do you have a version of Old Dan Tucker handy? Would love to tackle that one - and would be happy to pay for the Tabs/Video. Appreciate the consideration - and please keep sharing your gift!!!
Hi Bill - Thanks for this lesson. I downloaded the tab and was trying to make my own backing track with Band in a Box using your chord progression show at the bottom of the page 2. I don't understand the "/" marks is that referencing a measure or a beat? If I use them as measures the chords a drawn out too long for the melody.
I am quite busy practicing Guitar and Banjo everyday but learning from you Bill is a gift from heaven. Your frame by frame method and your instruction makes it great for a learner to follow.i upgraded to a Deering Goodtime Special for now.It plays and sounds great.Bill,what do you think about Railroad spikes for the 5th string.

Hi bill, fantastic lessons, I wonder could I purchase the backing track of country roads from you, would be great if I could get it from you, enjoying your fabulous lessons here in Ireland, thank you so much, Tom arkins, 👍
