In this guitar lesson, you’ll learn a few country guitar riffs in the style of Charlie Daniels. We’ll also use the chord progressions from “Long Haired Country Boy” by Charlie Daniels to practice some country strumming patterns and chord embellishments. Overall, this is a great lesson for developing that outlaw country sound on acoustic guitar.
Important Note: Everything that we cover in this lesson will be in Drop D Tuning D-A-D-G-B-E.

[@Gratefulman1965]

I composed a Drop “D” instrumental that I use as an intro to The Fred Rose classic “Blue eyes crying in the rain” Drop D and open G are two of my favorite alternate tunings. Thanks for this lesson it’s great!

[@VexxJam]

Country in drop d or on a baritone is so agreeable to my ear. Nice vid, great ideas 👍

[@pauljohnson2372]

This was the first time I've ever tuned my martin to drop D. It sure made me grin

[@mrlskippy8863]

Drop d riffs that dont even yse the d string amazing

[@countryguitaronline]

You’re right… this intro doesn’t use the dropped D string, but check out the rest of this lesson at Country Guitar Online and you’ll find all the drop D riffs. Hope to see you over at CGO!

[@saucyhere8140]

great lesson i just had to point out the fact that we got into drop d and didn't strum or pick the low e string once

[@2696ize]

Real nice lesson. Thanks for taking it slow.

[@twiistman7185]

Best teacher I’ve seen so far

[@dannywoody7266]

Fabulous great you do it slow thanks

[@brandonlacasse3808]

The heaviest drop d song of all time, when will you be teaching the breakdown and solos?

[@wolfscreed6664]

Hope you are aware that your beard grew during the lesson. Dont be nervous, it went well.

[@countryguitaronline]

🤣 I didn’t think anybody would notice… i usually record the intro one day and the main lesson next

[@biohazard8295]

Was the drop d tuning made popular by country players? I always thought that it was pioneered by metal guys in the late 80s. I also know that it is used in some classical or flamenco guitar pieces.

[@bobbymcloughlin3452]

That is an Open D6sus(9) Tuning for 6 String Plectrum Guitar Open D6sus(9) Tuning 6 String Plectrum: D A D G B E 7 String Standard: A D A D G B E 8 String Standard: D A E A D G B E or D A D A D G B E (Modal) 9 String Standard: A D A E A D G B E or D E A E A D G B E (Classical) 10 String Extend: D A E A B E A D G B E or A D E A E A D G B E (Classical)

[@rizzbot7613]

what type of strings do you use

[@countryguitaronline]

I have Woodtone Country Series on in this video… I love the Bluegrass Series too, just depends on the guitar woodtonestrings.com/ country series is lower tension easier to play and bluegrass is mid tension for some extra volume. Hope that helps!

[@jamief.8406]

Talented and cute

[@TheCharillz23]

The tabs don't show you even using the low e. Why would you even tune it to drop d?

[@countryguitaronline]

🤣 Please watch the rest of the lesson at Country Guitar Online and the lesson title will make sense.

[@cali420king]

Lol sounds a lot like the riffs from midnight rider.

[@terrypickette118]

- 👍 👍 🔧 -

[@joshmosh8034]

Not heavy enough, go lower! Drop A# lol 😆 Sick riffage though!

[@jesusgavemeaids]

Cool video. But Charlie Daniels outlaw country???? 😆 lol

[@UsNCollord216]

This barely has anything to do with drop D

[@countryguitaronline]

The lesson title will make sense of you watch the full lesson at countryguitaronline.com. Hope to see you over there!

[@benatx8393]

I learned this one not long ago. You have a few twists that I never noticed before. You are a good instructor. Keep up the good work from Austin Tx
