Really appreciate your approach to breaking it down. I was worried I wouldn’t get it but you walked through everything piece by piece and I can’t wait to play this song more closely to the recording. My Papa was a trucker so this song is one of my faves.
Great lesson man, even went through it first so people could possibly learn just by reading the hand movements, I hope to play this for my grandparents this Christmas, thank you brotha
Awesome tutorial! Thank you! I always wondered how Colter picked and strummed. Is he (or you) using the back of your index finger to pick and strum? Or are you using your thumb to alternate the bass and strumming with the back of your index finger? It's hard to see.
Thanks. Colter does it slightly different than I do, but similar concept. I tend to strum downward with my index fingernail, and strum up with the side of my thumb, and any individual note that I’m trying to let ring out is plucked with my index finger also. Mr. Wall uses his thumb a lot more than I do for picking the bass notes (which is more akin to traditional fingerpicking - thumb alternates the bass, fingers 1, 2, and 3 plucking the treble/melody). By using his thumb as the “plucking digit” it frees up his index finger to pluck or strum upward and downward. I have not mastered that style AT ALL. His songs are more “full” because where I have a dead beat waiting for the upstrum or downstrum he’s plucking or strumming on 1/2 and quarter notes. If I could forget all of my bad habits, I would try to mimic CW 😀. It is a much richer sound. My brain can do the traditional finger picking , but adding a strum in there with my index is very difficult for me for some reason.
@@RexRichardsMusic Aweome! That explains a lot! Again, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain! I’ll try not to pick up any bad habits while learning CW, but watching his videos, I’ve always been curious. Usually there is a spot to donate (or tip) on a channel. Do you not have that set up?
No, I don’t. I didn’t realize that was a thing 🤷♂️😂. I appreciate it, but honestly I just like to help. Also, I was saying that doing it ‘my way’ would be, in my opinion, the bad habit. Learn Colter’s way! Then teach me!
The pattern is really down, down-up with the first down beat of each strum pattern/cycle being on the root or the alternating bass note. The fast down-up is a strum of the full chord. Yes, each chord is played for one bar (4 strum ‘cycles’). I am obviously not a trained musician with the vocab dialed 😂. I pretty much play by ear/feel when it comes to rhythm. Sorry if this is unclear to a more polished musical vocabulary. 😬
@@RexRichardsMusicNo this makes perfect sense. I'm just starting out and only had my guitar around 2 months so learning rhythm and strum patterns etc is new to me so sometimes it's hard to work out by watching. Thanks very much for the reply and this video.
Yes and you did a amazing job at singing it. And I have learned Kate McCannon so thank you you were one of the only people I could find that would do a tutorial and it sound just like it.
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. His writing and playing and your interpretation is what the Dr ordered
This was really helpful, highly recommend it.
That Waylon Jennings/Johnny Cash bend. That makes it. You got it going on bro
Takes some nuts to cover this one, sounds good man! Working on it over here, great vid.

Sweet! I hope it’ll get you where you want to go. I really need to get some more content up 😀. Stuff like this is why I want to help out.
Totally awesome
Great cover and explanation, thank you! Awesome playing and singing

That’s awesome. I hope you do.
Nice job Rex.
Great video. Thank you.
This was great thanks. Your cover was wonderful as well
Could you please do a tutorial of Calgary Round Up. 🥺💕

I’ve been asked this enough to where I should probably do a video, but I’m worried I’d be teaching bad habits. 🤷♂️

Thanks for the lesson! How many strums of down up until you change? Is it one bar per chord?

@@LimaOscarBravo right on. Glad to help. You’ve inspired me to pay more attention to song structure.
Nice, baby, nice.
Can you please do a lesson on you look at yours. I love that song I would really appreciate it.
Yeah, I can do that. Did you see the cover I did on my channel?
Yes and you did a amazing job at singing it. And I have learned Kate McCannon so thank you you were one of the only people I could find that would do a tutorial and it sound just like it.
B7, thanks !
? What about the B7?
@@RexRichardsMusic Couldn't find the best B chord, B7 sounds right 🤘
What B chord where you using?
