How to play 'Running On Empty' by Jackson Browne

This song is SO fun to play! Grab your guitar and join me as we learn the super catchy main riff as well as all the other chords and strumming patterns. There are a couple of really cool walkdowns as well - Fun! As always we do a slow playalong and then a full speed playalong toward the end. I threw in a bit of lead stuff at the very end for those of you who are on that path. Let's go!
I'll be using the 'Pop 12' pattern on the Beatbuddy at 137BPM for those of you who are interested.

@@GuitarAtWork thank you Shane. Quick question I have a similar Taylor to yours the (414ce). What type of strings are you using?

[@keonikreijzer7172]

I love Jackson Browne, says a 21 year old. My dad always listened to him in the car when I was little, that’s why I love it so much. Gonna enjoy this video with my guitar in my hand🙏🏽

[@GuitarAtWork]

That's fantastic - so great to have young people here - so much great music out there to absorb. My best to you! Shane

[@wallymurray620]

As others have said, Congrats on the 210 point. What I love is the energy and enthusiasm that’s been there from the start and is still always there. Another great song choice from my youth, love it. Hope all is well, take care.

[@LMacNeill]

Another song I didn't know I needed to learn. LOL! I've always liked this song, ever since I was a kid back in the '70s when it was brand new. Now I definitely need to learn how to play it. 🙂 Thanks!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Fabulous - thanks for that. I agree - there's a long list of songs from that era on my video to-do list. Hope you have fun with it and I appreciate you taking the time to write. Cheers! Shane

[@Irving-gp9oc]

Keep it going Shane! I remember when you hit the 10k subscriber level! Your lessons have helped me with my guitar playing during that time....in my late 60's and started about 6 years ago! Thanks again! P.S. Wish I started in the late 60's and not in MY late 60's!!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey thanks for that Irving - you’ve been here with us since the very beginning. My best to you and hope you’re having fun with it! Shane

[@GuitarAtWork]

Ha! Have fun with it Richard - best to you lad! Shane

[@conrad98gtp]

I love the songs that you feature. What would really help me is to hear how all of the vocal lines lay into the chord changes.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Conrad - a great suggestion. Best to you, Shane

[@RichardSeidman]

Thanks so much for doing this song! I've played it for a while without making it sound right.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Excellent - I hope it helps you. Happy to have you here with us! Shane

Thanks Aaron - best to you, Shane

[@AaronPlowman-qn1px]

@@GuitarAtWork Shane I must confess. At first your style was almost too energetic for me. I am high energy as well. Lucky me!.... I kept coming back and am glad to tell you that you are probably my favorite. It's you and a Guitar hero and mate from Australia 🦘 and a Beautiful Stellar lady named Amber and a Epic dude named Dave as well as our singing sensation that gives solid guitar lessons in LJB and Good guitarist named James who have helped me go from a zero to becoming a Stellar and soon.... GOD willing 🙏 hopefully Epic guitarist. Even if I am just plain Good like James and not quite so lovely as that Stellar gal I'm so thankful and lucky to have come across All you Amazing teachers.🥹😔🫡💪🎸😎 and thanks 💯 Shane I put hope and pray for an amazing day for you Shane. You're the Energizer bunny 🐇 of rock to me. 👊👊✌️💛

[@AaronPlowman-qn1px]

Hey have you considered CCR's Hey tonight? I thought it's a great blend of picking in the intro and fun easy strumming then back to picking in outro. I would love that. I'll be checking around but hope I got you at the helm if you ever feel compelled to give it a go.

[@MrSidecutter]

Great. Can you post the beats you're using on the BeatBuddy?

[@GuitarAtWork]

Sure thing - I typically put that in the description below the video and mention it as well. I used the Pop 12 pattern at 137BPM. Cheers! Shane

[@anthonycoppola5613]

i try and try and cannot get my pointer finger to bend like that! i shall push on!

[@GuitarAtWork]

You can do it Anthony! Shane

[@windrider65]

Great lesson Shane, whoever is complaining has a few loose screws.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hey thanks for that - always happy to hear from you. Hope you're having fun with it! Shane

[@windrider65]

@@GuitarAtWork I'm in Arizona for the winter, and the RV Park I'm in has a jam session every Monday and Friday. I've been learning a lot from the guys here. I'm almost 59, and have been playing for about 10 years. I've been stuck in a rut not getting any better, but playing with a group you learn how to recover when you get lost and need to change the scrolling speed on the tablet. Take care and stay safe. From Charlie

[@saltnsugar69]

Sir is it taylor 814ce you are using. Can you tell which strings are you using? Does not seem to be Elixirs.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Hiya - yes it’s a 2019 814ce. I use Elixir HD Light strings. Great combo. Cheers! Shane

[@a2zme]

Did anyone ever tell you that you're a really good guitar player? :)

[@GuitarAtWork]

A big thank you for that - some days are better than others.....I appreciate you being here and taking the time! Shane

Love this one! Thanks for skipping the open tuning.
