I haven’t been this excited for a lesson of yours in a while - I LOVE this song. You’re the man Justin - taught me most of the songs I know

[@eyckpoetter]

Exile on main Street is the best Stones record ever. And Sweet Virginia as well as Tumbling Dice are my all time favorites for 50 yrs now. Thank you, Justin for a great beginner lesson.

[@ryanmcallister2321]

Beautiful song. I love all the slower acoustic songs on Exile.

[@warwicksmiley]

This is a Gem of a song, Guitar from Keith then was pure gold. Hard song to sing to, You done a good job But only Mick & Keith give it the raw power it has.

[@alexandragopel7026]

One of my all time favourites. I love this song🥰

[@connerburns3551]

FANTASTIC! Thank you Justin!

[@TheMinorFallTheMajorLift]

Pure gold. On my list of songs to learn - thank you!

[@gaiusthejurist8445]

You're singing has gotten really good Justin! Channelling a bit of Bob Dylan with this one!

[@townheadbluesboy]

One of my all time favs - thanks for doing this Justin. Can't wait to get on this once I'm over the flu

[@charlierussell7887]

Well, this is quite a challenge! Finally after many weeks of practice, it is coming together. I’m finding that the bandwidth required to play it precludes singing along. Per Ardua ad Virginia!

[@stijndeflart3789]

I love the song! Do you have any advice on figuring out the melody of the song for singing?

[@christophereadgbe2976]

Very well done, guitar sounds wonderful and the singing is great. Now that is how you're gonna get me to go watch that 44 min How to Sing and Not Suck video of yours.

[@andrewbowen6875]

Wha Great lesson Justin. Blows my mind just how many different link up runs there are in and around the cowboy chords.

[@kennjd]

I'm going to learn that song if it's the last thing I do nice job teaching

[@juicylucy5797]

Sweet Virginia! Oh yeah!

[@michaelsimmerson3963]

One of your best performances

[@RP-zr9rw]

Ugh..the intro and linked chords for Sweet Virginia are by far the most difficult instruction of all your great videos I have tried. It is a bit confusing on my part because I don’t know the names of strings / chords. Is it possible you can rework a slower / deliberate video where you just tell us what string to pluck on what fret? Maybe include an over lapping / transparent as you go along slower. I like how you incorporate the name of the chords - instead of lyrics. Thanks for all you do.

[@jethrox827]

Such a beautiful song

[@Abdou3406]

I've heard this song first time at the end of the movie knives out beautiful song and thanks for the lesson

[@XAVargasX0206]

Great song

[@davidecarlini814]

Sweet Virginia and Wild Horses are the two best songs in history of music.

[@TheDeadsilent]

You forgot beast of burden

[@TheRobshiels]

Inspired to learn this one. Thanks.

[@vintagegt]

Love this lesson, definitely persevering until I can play this. Finding it more difficult if you don’t your G’s and C’s with the same fingering as Justin does here and VERY difficult to retrain my hands for a G and C shape!

[@flux1968]

OMG I was just thinking about this the other day! Thanks so much!

Would you know how to play Alone again naturally by Gilbert o'sullivan on guitar there are several people playing this on u tube but they're all different ,some capo at 1st fret some at 2nd one at 4th fret some with no capo all using different strumming patterns most don't match the original recording ,some partially do but not all. Anyhow would like to see the correct way done with chords ,If you ever have time to do this ...

The best

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

First!

[@DylanDau16]

Hola :)

[@Hoekstes]

I don’t understand how the A fits in the key? 🤔

[@benharwin6521]

From what i can think up in my head. It would likely be 'Because it sounds good'. But its just the minor ii chord. Being changed to a Major II Chord. The C becomes a C#. I dont know much about the 'why'. But you can also have a Major III chord and a minor vi chord, which are borrowed chords from the parallel keys

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

It doesn't. It is an 'out-of-key' chord. A borrowed chord. It is borrowed from the parallel G minor key. This is sometimes called modal mixture too. community.justinguitar.com/t/using-borrowed-chords-introduction-examples/152037/ Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher

Lame.

[@warwicksmiley]

Your Lame, Bet Your a real fish.

[@warwicksmiley]

I shouldn't use some ones tag without asking but I am going to. Privettricker does this so close to the original it's not funny. You probably have seen it. Not taking a thing away from you, Justin.
