    In this Country Roads fingerstyle lesson, I’m going to show you two different ways to finger pick this John Denver Classic. One way is a beginner way to fingerpick and is a little bit more of an intermediate way to fingerpick the song and usually the way I perform this song live when I’ve done it.
    If you need the chords and lyrics, check out the chord chart below.

      I’m doing her finger picking course. I learned it in my own and learned to use my pinky as an anchor. Will try without!
      Also I like that she is human and makes mistakes here and there and keeps going! I have to learn internalize this, especially with singing, but guitar as well.

    Very few people can do this song with justice, I know it seems just like another pretty song, but if you are from West Virginia or have family from there, it becomes personal.
    Two of my great-grandfathers were West Virginia coal miners, my grandmother and grandfather were both born in coal camps. So it is special. You did it good, thank you.

    When I learned slack key guitar. My first lesson was to practice alternating base before my next lesson. It is so important. My teacher made sure that I kept the beat of the alternating base. I love this song . I change the words to IZ 's "to the place I belong West Makaha" (where I use to live). Just a music story. Thank u for all u do for the online music community. And that darn F chord still my nemesis. Someday it will sound good.

Hope to see you pLaying ANAK in guitar in easy way ...THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS...LOVE ,CATHY FROM PHILIPPINES.

It would be amazing if you play anak aswell. Warm greetings to you and for the guy from the Filipino : tabee disini Bert.Ada baik? You are the best teacher on line Laura. Your patience and clear showing how to play a song, makes you my favorite. Thank you for that.

      Is this the one you are suggesting? It is very pretty and seems to be mostly am, f and g so not too difficult. I am just a beginner so i dont know you would strum it. Are you a member of the lauren bateman 7 level course? There are probably lots of guitarists in the course that could help you if you joined.
