This lesson is for members

You probably grew up singing this one like I did, and the words and truth in this song still ring true today like they always will! Someone requested I do a fingerstyle rendition of this tune a while back, and I'm excited to bring it to you. Most fingerstyle songs are intermediate-advanced, but I've built this one so beginners can try their hand at it, while more advanced players will still enjoy it!

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.
