🎸 Take Me Home, Country Roads • Easy guitar lesson w/ chords (John Denver)

[@thebestone11-r9y]

There's a book called Guitar Codebreaker Unlocked, and it teaches everything about playing guitar, from essential skills to advanced techniques. It’s perfect for all levels

[@sandywieringa4434]

This was the first song I learned to play, at the age of 11. To this day, 47 years later, every time I pick up my guitar, it's the first song I play. Thank you for putting this video out so others can learn this wonderful song!

For me it was otherside by red hot chilli Peppers. I was 19, I took the guitar for the first time and was practicing every day for 8 hours for next two weeks until I got it right. Now I am 29, barely have time to play guitar but when I do I always play my first song *dedicated* to the guitar. The old guitar that is too big for my hand (and on wich I taught myself to play) is a otherside dedicated My 2nd guitar, cheap plastic one bought online just so the old one could survive a bit longer, is a Delilah dedication. I learned Delilah in honor of my Grandfather, he loved that song

[@tp6498]

I really dig this musician's easy going style of teaching. I appreciate how he gets that we beginners want to learn guitar by playing real songs that people actually enjoy hearing. It's too bad that trolls and haters will give videos like this one a thumbs down. I think they're missing the point entirely.

[@songnotes]

You’re so welcome - glad it’s helpful! And thank you for the very kind tip. Much appreciated!

[@dharmendrathacker165]

Oh ! David sir, within last 8 to 10 months I watched your this Tutorial on Country roads song so many a time and tried to play it. You have taught it very perfectly and precisely how to strum the Chords for country songs. I like the way you teach and like your voice, too ! I went through other video tutorials on this song, but I liked yours one the most. Thanks for teaching us. God bless you and your family and your team.

[@djrap6031]

I agree

[@mastematt]

Ive been learning to play guitar for six months now, and this lesson is the most helpful breakdown ive seen!! Well done sir!÷

[@ikerichidinma2495]

playing along with you as a beginner made me so happy. You teach so well. Thank you.

[@lindapots3992]

I'm so happy you chose a John Denver song David. Proud of everything you do! xo

[@poshaiodurreix6227]

I’m a beginner and this happened to be the first full song that I can play! Thank you so much this tutorial really helped! And I love your website by the way:)

[@malindasherman9752]

I love how you teach. I'm a beginner and having trouble with strumming. But after watching several of your videos I am finally getting it down. I was ready to give up , but now I'm motivated to start strumming and picking. Thank you!

[@aed133]

Thanks!

[@nitrousninja882]

Thank you David for showing me how to play this beautiful and much loved song. I will work on it until I have it down perfect. You are a good teacher.

[@itgetter9]

This is a gift you've just given to my sister and me - we're both learning guitar at the same time, and this is one of our favorite songs. Thank you, and Happy New Year! 2023

[@ControversialFish]

There's so many videos that show how to play the chord, but not many that shows how to actually play it to a song, the strumming pattern. Thank you for the complete lesson. You earned a new subscriber.

[@xcherrybombx5352]

Thank you Mr. David! I learned how to play and sing by following your easy guitar lesson. You're the best. Stay safe always!

[@blindspot3941]

i remember coming here a year ago when i just had my first acoustic guitar, thank u, without ur video, i wouldn't have continue learning guitar

[@dharmendrathacker]

Thank you soooooo much David 👍. Going through your this easy beginner friendly tutorial I have learnt half of the song within 2 - 3 days. God bless you so much 🙏👍

Am 4 mins 47 seconds through amd the way you explain the strum and bass note as a new guitar player is already blowing my mind. Thank you, no one else has been able to explain it in such a way my brain understands, thank you

Hi from Madrid (Spain), Amazing and simple way to explain how to play this wonderful song; excellent pedagogy; congrats David

[@_masssk_]

I have been watching this a hundred times, great guide, thanks!

[@dharmendrathacker165]

Today again I watched your this Tutorial as I wished to play Country roads song again. In last nearly 18 months I have gone through your tutorial so many a time but couldn't play it well enough as I found difficulties in transitioning between the chords. But now I have developed it a little bit and therefore I played the song today and had fun. Thnx David sir.

[@thomasfrey8561]

Before you play a song - any song just learn to transition smoothly between all the „beginner chords“ meaning Am, E, Em, D, G and if you feel funny, even F, it’ll come to you way easier to learn any given beginner song :) startet with guitar like 4 months ago, but it’s the same as Piano, which I played for a long time :)

[@ianhodgetts8266]

i like your style. i am currently having lesson at this time, as a new player it is easy fo rme to follow you. i take a leasson every week with a one on one tutur. highley reccomend anyone doing that starting out. i have had up to date 8 30 minute lesson and find these so helpfull. i am over 60 so it does come a little more difficult at times but is geting better each time. everyone i follow i learn that little bit more , now i can add you to my list to watch. thankyou.

[@GarfieldAtLasganaParty]

Exactly a year ago today, I came to this video in an attempt to learn Guitar. Today I can play complicated chords and songs, we all had to start somewhere. I could never ever learn an instrument that's what I thought but then I found this video and John Denver! Thank you so much

[@lutzarndt6225]

Again Lutz from Germany, I should better write in German to describe how excellent this teacher is. Thank you David😃

[@casperghost7298]

That's awesome, I am a beginner guitarist just learning, and WV is my home state and birth place, I can play solos, but I want this to be the very first song I ever learn to play, and you make it seem easy, thank you

[@stew5506]

I've loved this song for a while, and I'm so happy I found this video. I've learned 2 chords and a song from watching this video. I'm glad you decided to show how to do the chords because I didn't know an F or a D7 but I got the hang of them really quick. When you showed the chart of the chords for the verse, chorus, and bridge, and you showed the strumming patterns, I just picked it up and sang and played it. One of my favorite decisions I've ever made is clicking on this video.

[@deimos2281]

Thank you from Russia. You make very good videos and that's great. Good luck on KZbin
