It was around 1972, I was 15. Myself and a friend had been in atl ga visiting his older brother. After a few days we boarded a trailways bus for our trip back to ala. It was the last bus out that night and I remember it was raining. Once on the bus we headed for the back rows since we had slipped a six pack of beer on with us. Someone had a radio playing and as we were pulling out of town this song came on. It's funny how a old song can make you remember your past. I'm 62 now, and this song still put be back in time. A rainy night in ga, a trailways bus and two kids just learning about the world. Thanks for taking the time to post guitar lessons, they are always a big help with my playing. Your a great talent. May God bless you.

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

You are so right Johnny! While reading your story, I began to feel a little like I was on that bus with you! That is just how powerful these old songs are. That is why I like doing them so much, and will feature more like them as I have the time! Here is a playlist of other older song on my channel that you might check out! Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5iXlHWYh9eNn80

What a cool evening for me, I'm 56 years old and been hacking away at the guitar since 1982. I was sitting down sippin' a cocktail and stumbled across this little 3 video series. It was nothing I couldn't handle, but I want to point out something that I noticed. Your very controlled and concise finger picking of the chords on the back beat were sublime, those sneaky little finger picked double stops during the rhythm, were outstanding!. Sometimes less is more, but this time, more was even just a little bit better! Bravo my friend. I will be watching more of your videos.

[@johnnyrocco]

As always a big thank you for sharing this lesson with others. The world could use more people like you, Eric Blackmon. A little story I heard about this song and Tony Joe White. It was said that after high school Tony moved to Atl, Ga to live with his sister and work for the Georgia road department driving a dump truck. It was said he looked forward to rainy days because he couldn't work and got to stay home playing his guitar all day. In my head I can picture a young Tony Joe sitting in some small bedroom in Dunwoody Ga, watching it rain, playing what would later become, Rainy Night In Georgia. Don't know if this is true or not. Just a story I heard years ago. I like to think it's true. A great song either way, for sure. Thanks, and may the Good Lord Bless you.

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

Don't know if that story is true, but I like it too! This channel is all about bringing a little light into the lives of everyone who watches! There is already enough darkness to go around! Thanks for watching my videos Johnny! I really appreciate it!

[@yarygork2334]

Yes thats 100% true and I heard Tony Joe right here on u tube telling that exact story. SOOOO many people outside in the rain these days gives a bew sadness to this song. One of the earliest songs in my life that REALLY moved me and drew me into the cold wet dark but musically beautiful world of amazing R and B

[@1Keef]

Soul doesn't get purer than this! Thanks for the upload mate!

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

You bet Keef! Stay tuned for more on this one!

Such an amazing song. Thank you for reminding me of this great song Eric, it’s such a great classic. We do need reminding now and again.

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

You are so right Buddy! I have to thank one of my daily in studio students for reminding me. He walked in one day and said;"I want to learn Rain Night In Georgia by Brook Benton", which completely blew me away! We got right on it and this post is the result! More to come very soon on this one! Thanks for watching!

[@budandbean1]

Eric, Isn’t it amazing how that works out. I was able to learn a lot of the song by watching you play it but still can’t wait for part two. Thank you so much.

Very cool Eric! "Rainy Night In Georgia," one of my all-time favorites for sure. Written in 1969 by the eclectic songwriter, Tony Joe White, who also wrote and gave us --- "Polk Salad Annie" --- among others. Thanks for posting this Eric!

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

That's right! I was after the guitar sounds in the Brook Benton version. I gave Tony a shout out in the video. Thanks for watching!

[@stevedouglas7375]

Cool and yes, I now see that you did. I got a little ahead of myself. I used to know this song, but now that you've posted it, I'm going to re-learn it. Also, it's kind of interesting that where I live, it just started to rain. Pretty cool timing!

Eric, love your breakdowns, very easy to follow. perfected rainy night in georgia (Took 5 weeks in total) but its the definitve version in my humble opinion. So I'm really happy, thanks man. Request: I' m bustin' to play soul serenade (Willie Mitchell version) any chance of you doing it for me? I gotta learn to play this somehow before I die.

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

I can't promise requests, but I hope to post that one someday. The band I was in when I was a kid used to play that song! Thanks so much for watching! EricBlackmonGuitar! 3500+ Tutorials!
