How to play 'Against The Wind' by Bob Seger

Here's a fantastic song! Everyone needs some Bob Seger in their repertoire - learn the chords and strumming patterns to this classic hit.
Songsheets are always available at / guitaratwork
Once you have learned the chords and strumming patterns be sure to head over to the 'Playalong' video to strum along with me as I call out the chord changes at a medium tempo and then at full concert speed:

Definitely the best instructor on the net! It would be great if you could do a lesson on DOWNBOUND TRAIN by Bruce Springsteen. Hopefully you'll see enough thumbs up to do it.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Big thank you Ken - I LOVE Downbound Train - Cheers! Shane

[@micjam1986]

Shane, you make every lesson seem possible and worth trying! TY my friend!👍as always

[@dougsmith8430]

Shane, you are such an awesome Guitar Teacher to turn to for actually learning Songs! Perhaps the best on the entire internet! A tremendous Guitar Teacher once told me one of the very best things we can do with our practice time is learn Songs as part of our practice routine… he is correct, and your tutorials on Songs are the perfect source…. THANK YOU!

Thanks for another fine video Shane. I've been working on this for about two weeks and it is coming along nicely. Bm is still giving me a tick of a problem but it's getting better daily. I'm close to being ready to try the play along you have for this. Thanks again Shane.

[@BillBoxstep]

Thanks for that B minor tip.

[@TheStarboarder]

No really usable lesson on YT for Bob´s "Still the same"....couldn´t be a better one than you to create one! May you please?!

[@ArmaGuyz]

I had been learning this for months and stopped due to carpal pain but I was doing good with it. The key to this one is getting down that B Minor switch without silence in between the chord. Edit: I see you advise that as well lol. I would practice jumping from the G to Bminor several times throughout the day till I got it down pat. The walk down towards the end I struggled with alot. multiple chords rather quickly switched between. The Im older now but still runnin against the wind... Against the wind against the wind. The swap between the two at the end was easy but that walk down got me. I also would tend to accidently go to G when it should have been C or D lol. A Beautiful song Im a Seger fan.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Arma - great comments and I'm sure many people out there are doing exactly the same. It's a tough jump to the Bm but with persistent practice you can do it! Shane

[@paulcrooks4467]

Start with the bar G to Bm

[@sapelesteve]

Terrific lesson Sean as always! I still can't do bar chords or change chords quickly enough, so this tune is not going to happen for me at the present time. I know, keep practicing....... :)

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Steve - that Bm chord is elusive at first - that's for sure. It's worth chasing though....it'll open the door to a whole lot more for you. Cheers! Shane

[@richardgunter4677]

I use easy Bm with open chord, not ideal but allows me to play the song.

[@johnoverstreet9359]

Shane, Can you please demo Shame on the Moon...I'm presently learning that song...can you demo it on the electric guitar...thank you!

[@stevedemol9145]

Hi Shane , I cant find the PDF sheet music to agianst the wind ? thanks great teacher ........st

[@lawsonlawson1504]

I just got beatbuddy. What settings do you have beatbuddy set up as ...the got the BPM part --but what drum set up??

[@GuitarAtWork]

Very cool Lawson - it's a great pedal for sure. I am just using the 'Blues 01' pattern that came pre-loaded on the Buddy. Cheers! Shane

[@suzienava4898]

Miss you Mr. Guitar At Work. I hope you're feeling ok. :-)

[@What_Fred_Said]

What sheet! Put a link to sheet music.

[@ScottEAuty]

Can't seem to find the song sheet on your website. Any help would be great. Thank you

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

I think according to the description change.. Shane changing it around a little bit. if you want to get the song sheet and few other little bonus bits, you're going to have to become a patreon member? although I'm sure for a buck you could become a patreon member. I don't think that it's going to be something really expensive whatever you want to try to pledge. but I believe that's what he's about to do is that I could be wrong

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hi Scott - sorry for any confusion. Songsheets thus far have been available on my website - over 100 songs! We have now moved song sheets to Patreon where you can pay a small fee for access to all upcoming sheets including this song. Easy to do if you go to patreon.com/guitaratwork There will be Patreon exclusive content there soon as well - hope you will join us! Shane

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Trucker - that helps to clear up any confusion - much appreciated! Shane

[@ScottEAuty]

@@GuitarAtWork Thank you Trucker and Shane for clearing that up. Will look into the Patreon

[@WayneRogersOutdoors]

Bm is hard. But only for a little while. I can do it. Eventually.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

I noticed you muted out the patreon part or else KZbin did cuz you can't advertise another thing or something? just came up muted when you talked about how you would say go to Shane Simpson get the song sheets.. now you got the patreon going..one little thing though I've noticed when I played the song after the G to the B minor what really comes out sounding good you can try it sometime personally I think it sounds great is the good old C/G chord instead of a c play that CG get that six string ringing to

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Trucker - the C/G sounds a bit beefier for sure - always an option on the C chord. Cheers! Shane

Hello, you spend too much time babysitting beginning players. If this is about learning to play songs cut the crap. If you don't know where to put your fingers maybe go back to kindergarten schooling. Format your videos accordingly. Otherwise these could be more fun for players like myself who just want to learn new songs.
