Tuolumne Tutorial (with tabs, chord diagrams, picking patterns)

I had a request from a subscriber to do a lesson for "Tuolumne," like I have for other songs, complete with TABS, etc. Since I'm unable to play now until after my hand surgery, this became the impetus for this lesson. You've heard the adage, "those who can, do, and those who can't, teach." So I put this together with footage I had, imported the tabs, the diagrams, etc., and even though i wasn't able to demonstrate certain things I would have liked to have demonstrated, I feel it's a fairly complete lesson. I hope it helps you learn how to play it because it's really fun to play.

Thanks Andi my friend.

Thanks for sharing this tutorial? Dennis. I hope that after your hand surgery you will be able to enjoy playing again.

Thanks Zepp for your kind words. It has been frustrating to not be able to play. My callouses have all but disappeared. Merry Christmas my friend.

What a crystal clear video! Thanks so much -- this really helped me figure out this song. I watched several other videos on youtube and each left me more confused. This was exactly what I needed. So well done!

Once you memorize the pattern (through repetition) it’s a matter of selecting which strings you play for the chord shape you’re playing. Please visit my latest Travis picking tutorial “How to Fingerpick ‘Just Like That’ by Bonnie Raitt.” It will make much better sense with improved illustrations that will help hammer home this concept. Let me know if that helps. I’d love to hear from you. And thank you for your kind words.

Thanks my friend!

You’re welcome Francesco. Your channel was one of the first channels I really noticed when I became interested in KZbin and considered starting my own. Your cover of Tuolumne was stellar in my opinion, and the harmonics at the end really separates your cover from all others.
