Hi Herman! I love that song! I will get those for you. Thank you so much for the kind words and positive feedback. That makes me want to keep creating these song tutorials!

[@christythomas8828]

The chord charts are very helpful. Thanks for including them. I’ve seen too many tutorials that don’t put them up on the screen.

[@countrymusicguitarclassics]

Good to know they are helpful. Those are the hardest part about making the videos. haha

If you can play the first position F chord okay not the full bar you can always alternate the bass notes by just wrapping your thumb on the first fret of the low E making a F and then just hitting the D which you already have in the third fret in the F chord to begin with. You are right about C becoming a c/g for the bass notes it is much easier

[@countrymusicguitarclassics]

Cool thank you! Good insight.

Your one of the very few on KZbin to play this song correctly

Darn son, your voice is all country; not everyone can sing Merle, but you nailed it.

[@countrymusicguitarclassics]

Merle was one of the greatest of all time. I just want to do his songs justice and respect his legacy. I appreciate the compliment and kind words! Just trying to keep the legend's music alive. All the best and thank you for watching!

How does Chris Stapleton sing Tennessee whiskey if the whiskey if there's still A copyright does he have to pay for it?

[@countrymusicguitarclassics]

The original songwriters of the song should get a percentage of his performances and sales. There are different types of rights associated with recordings and live performances (mechanical, performance and sync royalties). But Chris can still perform the songs. In fact it helps make the original songwriters even more money when an artist like Stapleton makes it a hit. Hopefully all involved win and everyone profits some.

Ben Haggard sings the song *its been a great afternoon* very well but guess u would do it better...
