    I've been playing this song for a couple of years, but it never sounded the way I wanted it to. This lesson teaches an easy but effective picking pattern, and timing examples that really pulled the song together for me. And a free TAB to boot! Very grateful, thank you NGG.

    I've always loved Glens music since the 60s and since I'm not an accomplished
    Guit picker and been trying half heartedly since Iz 15 yrs old,I have to say that gives me some hope,since I can barely Travis pick,amazing memories of Mr. Campbell flash thru gently in my mind!

    Nice, thank you! The reason they don’t call it a D major 6 is because it isn’t. The triad, major is the default, so when you see mine or after record, they are talking about the triad, when you see the word major, they are talking about the seventh. To make it easier for people to understand, imagine when you see any cord, if there is not the word minor, insert the word major in your mind for the triad. So D major 7 would be D major, major 7th. If you see simply D7, it’s D major, with a flat seventh, The flat sevens being the default. When you go against both defaults you have to spell it out, that’s why D minor major 7 is completely spelled out. It’s a D minor triad with A major 7th. So simply put, the triad default is major. If minor not stipulated after the triad name, it is major. If a major 7 i’m not stipulated after, it is a dominant seventh or flat seventh or minor seventh. This is simply minor and major triads. When the triad is diminished, the 7th is double flatted.
    Like anything else in mathematics or music, look at it for a half hour a day, it might be something that you don’t feel you are getting, or it will make sense and then suddenly you lose it and it is difficult to make sense of it again. But when the lightbulb goes on, everything falls into place and it is very simple.

      Btw, I’m pretty sure 75% of the guitar players here can play rings around me. What I am saying won’t make you a better player, but it will get you out of the dark. If you hang around with musicians who are trained, and you always felt left out. It’s something I would recommend putting some time into just to get an understanding.

    Dave, love this song and the picking sounds great when you do it. I am having difficulty following the instruction on this. It would be helpful for me at least if you inserted a "stake in the ground" tab for the basic pattern. Having to sort the basics out from all your commentary and options adds hours to the learning process for me.

  • @artvandelay1555
    @artvandelay1555 18 днів тому

    Hi Dave. I wonder if you could do a approximation lesson of Johnny A's version (totally cool) of "Wichita Lineman"? He uses a electric, but i think it could be done on the old Larivée. "Rainy Night in
    Georgia" also uses the regular D and the flat D to good effect. I like your lessons. Thanks.

    Thank you for this. I looked at this video and your tab. For the second part of the verse it seems you play only D and Dmaj7 and not the D6 chord, right? In the tab it says D6 but actually its the same notes as for the D in the fingerpicking pattern. Did I understand correct? Greetings from Sweden

    While you're a good teacher, It's so annoying when the full song isn't played AT THE BEGINNING during a lesson like this. Like, I have no idea what I'm even shooting for when I view this.

  • @gillscreekman
    @gillscreekman 2 роки тому

    Sorry to criticize, but this is an advance song to be teaching. You do a great job explaining the chord structure, but you take to much time explaining the basics. Advanced guitar players don't need the picking pattern, in my opinion they only need the chord progression. Good job on the video and thanks for posting it.

    • @NashvilleGuitarGuru
      @NashvilleGuitarGuru  2 роки тому +3

      That's making assumptions about who might try to learn the song. I get comments like yours from time to time, but there are also plenty of "get to the point" lessons out there already; I teach to the need I see. Aside from that, one can always skip ahead.

    Sorry...lost me at the vibrato on each and every note!! Quite irritating.
    And who says it's in "D" ??
    That's very SUBJECTIVE.
    I play it in C because it fits my vocals...

  • @richardredlight7246

    I dont agree with the boom chick strum, it has to be more fluid, try singin at the same time.....

    • @NashvilleGuitarGuru
      @NashvilleGuitarGuru  Рік тому

      It's the simplest solution, there are others. This is a subjective arrangement and not a transcription. Maybe calling it "boom-chick" is misleading, it's not a two-step but it is in 2.
