How to play, "The Weight" by "The Band" easy guitar how to tutorial

New Vince Dixon album now on iTunes - itunes.apple.c...
This is an acoustic guitar tutorial video or acoustic guitar lesson video , on how I play The Weight by The Band. This is another great party tune that people love to sing along with. "take a load of Annie" ... although it think it's "take a load off fannie"

[@gmoose6112]

I have to say it's people like you that inspire. Make it easy for folks !

[@JRS558]

Life is full of surprise... I tagged this video months ago as a good reference for "how to play The Weight". For no special reason a came across with this video again today just to realize that the "teacher" is you! Isn't the world that small? Good professional and good musician also. My best, Jose Stevaux

[@smallywaters7063]

Thank you for the lesson. It 's kind of like having that "nice guy" at the guitar shop show you something you've been trying to figure out on your own. Thanks again!

[@Sooper8]

I've watched a lot of videos of this that never feel or sound quite right to me. But this just feels good. Many thanks for your effort and time putting it up!

[@dowaliby1]

Thank you for sharing this great song and immortal piece of rock history. Your playing is crisp and clean and your voice awesome!

[@grnhair2001]

excellent version, clear instruction, love your voice for this song.

[@chipgriffiths3655]

Just watched the Bands movie, The Last Waltz, which I saw when it first came out. This was always my favorite sing along so thanks for making it so easy.

[@portrait1001]

I'm almost that caliber of playing bro. Thanks for the great lesson I'll definitely try to achieve this classic.

[@attra91]

WOW! I can almost play this. I am missing half of my index finger and have been looking for a way to play this. I thank you. Very well done.

[@scottie74]

Wow man that’s the best cover of the weight iv heard !! Awesome job dude 👏🏻👏🏻

[@valeriebrogden4424]

this is fantastic! you are a great musician and teacher.

[@justinstreeter1595]

It sounds excellent!

[@aep3]

GREAT lesson on timeless tune. Thanks

[@gaganminhas]

The cleanest version of the song, it’s excellent

[@kortt]

Excellent tutorial! Been trying to learn this tune for a while, and now I got it thanks to you! Thanks buddy

[@kmck3562]

Thanks for the lesson. Terrific What a great lesson for a great song!!!

[@gitboxful]

I really enjoyed this tutorial, was able to play the song in about 10 minutes. Thanks!

[@northerndreamcatcher]

Thank you. Sounds great on my Gibson Hummingbird Cutaway. I was playing the "It Might Get Loud Version" but Robbie's version is a pure. Cheers for the New Year.

[@elephantgop]

Got a request for this yesterday and couldn't deliver. Thanks for the lesson - next time I will be ready. Great vocals too.

[@MrRichieRay]

Thank you for the lesson Vince

[@stevewoan6]

Great voice mate!

[@youknowwhichone]

THANKS FOR THE EASY LESSON! GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO AND EXPLANATION!

[@zoldanful]

who is this guy who is rocking like that?respect brother-

[@stevet4564]

Kick ass lesson bud.. I appreciate you posting it. Peace

[@funguy4utube]

Superb man .. you are right ... the intros as soooo important ... that is what catches people's ears. BTW this song is in the new Tom Cruise movie "Oblivion" representing the good old days. I know you could teach a wonderful "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". A natural for you .. it almost has your name in it ... Dixon Dixie.

[@mikeread4329]

The Band is a great band

[@andystephenson5407]

Killer lesson dude. I always just used the bar chords but this much better

[@guitar5054]

Great Lesson. Great singing. I'll be practicing this, and probably posting on my channel in a few weeks or so.

[@jimbo9580]

Great voice

[@Piratetude]

Wow. Great vocals.

[@Mucki_Provokator]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial!

[@thegreywolf521]

@horseman528 Its like an E minor but the barred finger is acting as the nut on the second fret. So basically by string and fret it's Low E 2nd, A 4th, D 4th G 2nd, B 2nd, and hight E 2nd. If you cant make the bar at least get the E A and D strings down... that will sound pretty good.

[@spivvo]

Thanks for the lesson, nice voice dude.

[@mariobyb]

Great lesson! Thank you very much.

[@SirTilley]

great voice!

[@70snuttodd95]

If this was 8 years ago I hope you are still around and doing well . These few variations and your sing along very helpful. You should do more new lessons, I like how you explain but don't waste time. Lessons, maybe Neil young or Grateful dead

[@highwayroadrunner206]

Wow, you nailed it bro. Nice job!

[@StaffanPersson]

Loved your tutorial of this great song! This one - I'm definitely gonna learn! Thanks a bunch! Best regards, /Staffan (Stockholm, Sweden)

[@Snifferdawwgg]

Great lesson and great version..thanks mate :)

[@MikeEss1000]

Fantastic. Thank you.

[@clemintine99]

I love those old Gibsons

[@pedaphelps]

pretty darn cool rendition. nice intro

[@normannoriega9557]

Realy nice teaching Bro. I appreciate you . thank you.✌👍

[@sjoerdrijpkema9197]

Play this song using a capo on II and lower all the chords one 'letter'. This means A becomes G, D becomes C etc. This is much easier and true to how it's played on the record!

[@youngian]

Cheers Vince, just slightly above my level so it stretched me nicely

[@Nunyabidness20]

Best times ever jammin acoustic rock on brothuh!🤙🤘🏼

[@mijitalinda12]

[@ike2636]

love it!

[@josephgraham1075]

Great song I heard the Greatful Dead and Bob Dillon do it in 92 I believe. Awesome time, but I can't remember what year it was. About 3 or 4 years before Jerry died.

[@Shaun-c7w]

Great lesson,thanks.

[@lastdaysofarkansas6965]

Great voice bro! Guitar soundin nice too!

[@JONIRULES]

Thanks so much. You're a great teacher. I will be subscribing to your channel. Cheers!

[@jarodgregor6682]

I play keyboards not very well I might add. I admire anyone who can play guitar this well cause I've tried and failed. Nice instruction video. Great song.

[@horseman528]

I don't know what an F sharp minor looks like. I can only guess from the video. I know your barring the second fret and putting your ring finger on the fourth fret on the A string but I can't tell where the other finger is. I played it and it sounds alright to me without the other finger. I just barred the 2nd fret and put my ring finger on the 4th fret on the A string.

[@jeanrainbowlake]

very, very nice!

[@padrejohnruffle]

Excellent! 😄

[@GRockBlues]

Dude!...Awesome job

[@bluegroove777]

Great video, man!

[@horseman528]

@mosybohica Thanks. I enjoyed your rendition. Sounds more like the original to me than others on youtube. I have it down but not as good as you do it.

[@T3RRABYT3]

I like how u teach, do you got and songs recorded or cds/almubs? That would be sweet if you did!

[@ozzman25]

Sweet thanks

[@zlatkob561]

nice, thanks

[@jeanrainbowlake]

Can you tell me what you do after you play the "D" chord when you sing "Fanny"? You play a few notes, lift up your index finger and then go into the A chord but I can't really follow it. Thanks so much for putting this on youtube. Great job!

[@lVlike0002]

well done you just got a new sub.

[@clemintine99]

Awesome guitar! I'm jealous

[@flying2bill]

you need fat fingers like yours truly that is how I normally play an A

[@justz000t]

Great video and great playing but I still don't consider this a "easy" song to play in fact if I could play this I would consider myself not a beginner anymore. :)

[@tlnelson26]

Any chance you could provide some tab for the intro. You go a little quick.

[@RANGERVETBRET]

THIS IS GOIN 2 SOUND GOOD ON MY 12 STRING ACOUSTIC APPLAUSE

[@thegreywolf521]

Its a Gibson J45 ... 1954, and thanks.
