Very useful as always ! Keeping Reed's music alive is beautiful :)

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Jerry Reed was amazing and so cool - he gave the song a swing.

[@fifiandthegoldensax]

Great Bob Dylan song. Jerry Reed did a nice cover of it.

[@HeidiFegles]

And that first turnaround once you wrap your mind around it is the basis of doing the scale up and down at the same time.

[@hillsboroughguy]

You are terrific thank you much!

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

@@hillsboroughguy Thanks for watching!

[@dong1872]

Thank you very much. I have had that run down at the edge of my brain for years...thanks for showing me how!

[@NWtrainspotter]

I've wanted to play this song for years. Thank you for the pointers!!!!

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Your very welcome. Happy to help!!

[@TheGuitarBoarder]

thanks dude! your tutorial made my day haha

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@felixap3389]

Can you explain the picking pattern more thorougly? :) When to pick multiple strings at the same time and when not to? Or just how to pick each chord, because I see it does not follow the same pattern. For E and F# chord, you do not alternate bass on A string, why? But for chords with bass on A string, like A, C#m, B7, you also include alternate bass on E string. Thanks alot for the tutorial :)

[@TheKenTama]

With me it’s just about feel. Honestly when you’ve been doing the patterns long enough your brain will just take over and you don’t even have to think about it.

[@ClarenceHW]

Thanks Brian!

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Your very welcome Clarence!

[@stevensavage6157]

What is the song you start playing at the end? Lovely

[@harrylazard805]

Glen Campbell used that first turnaround as an intro to Southern Nights, which is instantly recognizable....

[@ricd5553]

Keep up the great work Brian

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Awesome help. Great vibe to the beat.

[@mathewgladden8914]

My stuff doesn’t sound like the record. It’s the tuning!

[@dopetipped9673]

Bro. You are so. Fucking. Cool. I’m in. Thank you SO much for this you have no idea. I feel like I owe you a drink. Lemme figure this out

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Your very welcome and I’m glad it was helpful. You don’t owe me a thing other then to enjoy learning the music.

[@HeidiFegles]

Jerry in the video picks with his thumb pick the first part in d flat no fingers in that part

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Thanks for watching. There are several ways to do it. Enjoy, and make it your own.

[@masterchief8acht]

finally someone not using the damn capo!! :)

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Thanks Tiemen! It’s a really fun song to play.

[@masterchief8acht]

@@BrianBakerGuitarStudio yeah it sure is. I find the chord progression very tricky on this one but its definitely worth it

[@Wobbz9413]

Why not use a capo? Its part of GOOD acoustic guitar....

[@Nozzall]

I love Jerry Reed's version but the song was not written by Jerry Reed.

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

You are correct. Bob Dylan for the song writer.

[@edmallon2851]

Reed never used his index finger

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

That’s interesting. Thanks for watching!

[@Wobbz9413]

Its actualy by Bob Dylan. Dont care whos copy or "cover" you do its BY Bob Dylan....

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Thanks Mark! Bob Dylan all the way! The arrangement we are working on, is by Jerry Reed.

[@carpediem4887]

Bob Dylan is a schmuck

[@Hespeakstruth]

By Bob Dylan.

[@ThomVardell]

Lot of people have done this tune. Dylan was definitely not first.

[@mikes.8481]

Didn’t Dylan write the song?

[@Hespeakstruth]

@@ThomVardell he wrote it , do some research.

[@mikes.8481]

@Hespeakstruth it was a rhetorical question based in sarcasm.

[@Hespeakstruth]

@@mikes.8481 i was directing my response at tomav.

[@aubreynoftall3830]

your hands are like mine...stiff and clumsy

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Thanks for watching!!

[@muzikman74]

Good….but not Reed accurate.

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

Thanks so much. Just my take on it. There are many variations.

[@thegloobster]

Reed's playing isn't even Reed accurate depending on which version you're listening too lol, that's the hard part about learning Reed songs, man was so good at improvising, he'd play it different everytime!

[@BrianBakerGuitarStudio]

@@thegloobster His music is so much fun to play. Well said! Thanks for your comment.

[@thegloobster]

​@@BrianBakerGuitarStudio It is!! So great!! Some of my favorite things I've ever learned are Jerry songs, I gotta tune my guitar to open D and learn you're Lord Mr. Ford cover sometime! My only wish is that you uploaded a tutorial of a song I hadn't already gone through the painstaking process of learning myself through ear and various covers of the song posted on the Tube lol! But that's all good, hopefully it helps other people learn the great fun that is this song! I sometimes wonder how good Jerry could be if he cared more about his playing and less about what fish were biting that day lol, Chet hated that about him, but I do kinda love it, gotta admit, but yeh, I think I'm rambling now lol, thanks for replying man! Jerry is the GOAT!!! Now, I will leave you with this wonderful candid footage of Glen Campbell playing this song and talking about how great it is (Glen actually plays it with a pick!! Never even seen him with a thumbpick unless he's on Banjo lol, and still somehow through the power of Glen Campbell he manages to make it sound just as full and amazing! Another one of my absolute favorite guitarists, though I haven't really seen any Glen stuff on your channel, honestly not sure how much you care about Glen lol, him and Jerry were good friends tho! Played together a lot, he had Jerry on his Goodtime Hour very often! Those were always the best jam sessions... AGHAGAHG, now I'm definitely rambling lol, yeah, thanks for replying and posting and everything! THANK YOU. until next time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHjOoa2qbcSIi9k
