The moment he says: "He guys...." you know that he's got THE PERFECT voice for 16 tons 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much. This one made me smile. Thanks for your support!
Bruh that was my exact thought just seconds into the video 😂
I thought he was actually about to start singing lol
Dude seriously I was just thinking the exact same thing
The Stray Cats say "Thank you Tennesse Ernie Ford, we'll make a song called Stray Cat Strut and jazz it up a little! Great Lesson, Thank You!
You are welcome for the lesson. And I need to go listen to the stray cats tune again 😊
My uncle used to play this song; I Love It.
Thats cool! Glad you liked it!
Thank you good sir, it feels like the only way to get a song out of my head is to learn it and play it for myself
I feel the same way sometimes.
So helpful, you're a nice teacher thank you 🙏
Hey you are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Love it! Always loved this song. I'm pretty new to guitar and have mine in open E, which, apart from the main riff, makes this song even easier.
Now to see what else you've got to teach me..
Welcome! Thanks for tuning in. Happy you are here. Enjoy!
A gentleman. Thank you
Thanks!
GREAT Lesson!!! Always have Loved this song, but for some reason I never thought to try to play it... Until NOW !!! Thanks for puttin' Sixteen Tons up there...I'm having so much FUN with this one!!!! Like your relaxed Teaching Style...Great Work!!!
Hey there! You are welcome and thank you for the kind words and for checking things out!
thanks for doing this, always couldnt play power chords and can never remember names but youre helping me play this!~
its been stuck in my head for days so i will be glad to play it even though ill be fed up of it by the time i can do it right lol
thanks again
Most welcome. But when you come back to it in the future it will be easier to play. :)
Some of the notes in the beginning riff (3rd and 4th note i think) sound off to me, or i would have heard them differently. Apart from that, cool lesson!
Thanks for watching and for your support!
Same problem
Yea you’re right, the cord progression is correct but the 8 note riff after isn’t quite right. I’m sure you could figure it out though if you’re able to tell that it’s incorrect just from listening.
Note sequence: B F# D B (descending) then low F# G# A B (ascending)
@@4ofwandsyou are 100% correct. Ive bern listening to the original and listening to this and trying to play a long and this is not correct but you fixed it. Its a minor arpeggio triad basically. Root, Fifth, flat 3rd, Root, fifth, Minor 7, Major 7 , Root. Thanks for saying something I was about to do the same thing.
brilliant. thank you
Thanks!!
Nice guitar lessons. Happy Friday.
Thanks and glad you like them!
Thank you. Great lesson. Nice and easy to follow……and I’m eighty.

Thanks Kevin
You are welcome. Glad you liked it!
Hi …. Thanks - I like your lessons. How about the theme from Beverly Hillbillies?!
Can someone do a mashup of Sixteen Tons and Rock Lobster? Sounds like the same chords. Would either need to speed one up for slow the other down.
That would be fun!
Wow 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Thanks for watching everyone!
We appreciate it very much!
That awesome muffled sound of the power chords comes from the right hand resting slightly on the strings, am I correct? I'm having a hard time of making the power chords sound the way they do for you.
Thanks so much! You are right. It’s palm muting and you can watch this vid to see what I’m doing. ua-cam.com/video/l6qn6WXDtTs/v-deo.html
Gracias
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
Terrific tutorial!!! You're palm muting right? How the heck do you manage the up strums with the side of your hand against the strings 😅?
Thanks! Glad you liked it. I enjoy playing this one a lot! I am palm muting. I do lift my palm slightly to do a quick up down strum in there.
@@Relaxandlearnguitar ahhh thank you!!! 💗💗 Yes I love it!!! It was one of my dads favorite songs so I play it now in his honour 💝.
@@Geddy2006 That is awesome. Music is the best! So many connections and memories for us when we play.
@@Relaxandlearnguitar absolutely!!! 💝
I'm still not sure how to use the "clicking" sounds that you do
Hey there, how to make the clicking sound or where to play it?
It's easier if you say the notes that you are playing rather than what fret or string the note corresponds to. Otherwise it's to confusing.
did you meen a vibrato //?
Yep :)
Do We have tab for this? Thanks.
I provide tabs for all song lessons inside my membership.
this is good, I've been wanting to fire my drummer for a long time,,,,don't need him now!!!!(lol) thanks for a great lesson.....PEACE and LOVE
Lol. Who needs a drummer! Glad you found the lesson helpful! Enjoy!
the song was written by merle travis
Cool. Thanks for that!
that's vibrato, not tremolo
I juat realized thats the same chords as stray cats strut.
Mind blown! I did not realize that either! Cool.
It's funny...I sat there for like 10 minutes....I know that dammed progression fromm somewhere! Love the lessons...you do a good job helping me with some strumming patterns when I just can't quite figure out how I want to play it. It's appreciated.
If you're going to do a lesson, at least propose the right chords. You didn't. The last part of every verse should go:
Bmin -> "St Peter doncha"
D -> "call me cuz"
Emin -> "I can't"
G -> "go"
Nice of you to make a tutorial, but you're doing a disservice when you botch one of the most iconic opening riffs in folk music. The intro is wrong, so are the chords, and the vocal melody is ... well, sorry about that too. You do have a pleasant delivery, though!
Thanks for checking it out and taking the time to comment.
That doesnt sound right
