Bruce Springsteen My Hometown Guitar Lesson + Tutorial
My Hometown 🎤Lyrics:
I was eight years old
And running with a dime in my hand
To the bus stop to pick
Up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick
And steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair
And say, "son, take a good look around"
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown"
In '65 tension was running high
At my high school
There was a lot of fights
Between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night
In the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown
To my hometown
To my hometown
To my hometown
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows
And vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody
Wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill
Across the railroad tracks
Foreman says, "these jobs are going, boys
And they ain't coming back
To your hometown
To your hometown
To your hometown
To your hometown"
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
Talking about getting out
Packing up our bags, maybe heading south
I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel
And said, "son, take a good look around
This is your hometown"

I live in New Jersey, minutes from Bruce's stomping grounds...obviously, be it a party,busking or gigging, you can't have enough Bruce in your arsenal ! Thanks Jon!

Bar chords are my nightmare. I feel like I'm way overexerting myself to get the necessary effect with the index finger and the "product" of that pressure still stinkes. Yet on all the videos I watch, it looks so effortless for everyone! Great video by the way. The best thing to me is that you hold your fretting hand at an angle that doesn't block the view of where your finger tips are, like so many do. You make it very clear, and that's SO great.

Have you got better at Barre Chords, I’m with you I can’t play them either.

[@henriklarsson5221]

@@lefty5757 It will come with repetition repetition repetition. All along the watchtower was good practice for me. Just sliding the chords from A - G - F - G in bar-chords(5-3-1-3 on the bars and repeat) You can keep your fingers in the same position for all the song.
