Tyler Childers Jersey Giant Guitar Lesson, Chords, and Tutorial

[@stephenvyskocil3681]

Tim, this is a post to show my appreciation for all of your covers. You nail it every time and clearly explain how to play it. Thanks for making learning easier and extended times spent at home more bearable!

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Thanks Stephen! These extended times at home are definitely more bearable with a guitar in your hands!

[@leimaniax]

Well said, Stephen. Salut....! Tim, you’re an absolute legend. Thank you. Gold

[@ericord2]

I think if i was able to learn this song I would ball my eyes out. This is awesome and something to strive towards

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Definitely a great song!

[@adam3168]

Learn it brother, nothings holding you back

[@garretsmith7561]

Did you end up learning it?

[@jessealford4889]

This was awesome. I’d never heard this song. After watching your intro, I found it and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the lesson.

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Thanks for the positive feedback Jesse!

[@zachkey7122]

Omg I love this song thanks so much for doing a tutorial for it

[@TimGuitarLessons]

You're welcome Zach!

[@leimaniax]

Tim, thank you for bringing this to life for so many of us. So much appreciation. Thank you.

[@michaeldensmore6234]

Thank you for finally getting to this one🙌🏼

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Sure thing Michael!

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Reading your comment again it made me realize you might have asked for it... so I searched through my comments with "jersey giant" as the filter and saw you asked for it like 7 months ago... I actually never saw that I guess. Another subscriber, Jacob, actually randomly commented on another video today asking for it and it was my first time hearing the song when I looked it up... either way, I'm glad I got to it, but sorry for missing your request on it so long ago!

[@stevedahl7140]

This is beautiful!! You played it so well I just repeating the video to hear the intro! Thank you for sharing this with us all!

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Thanks so much Steve!

[@keithreames8018]

I’m thinking about tackling this song thanks to your great lesson. The hard part will be to get the guitar part of my brain on autopilot so that I can sing it at the same time. Looks like a fun challenge.

[@timrichardson518]

[@ianbejster6096]

Thanks, Tim! Love it!

[@jeanlucdecoster]

Thank you Tim! Great tutorial

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Thanks for the comment!

[@sabreteeth1212]

Thanks for this! I don't play guitar at all, I was just curious how Tyler does those kinda bouncy, bassy things in his songs.

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial, thanks for the comment!

[@Mackie17]

Hey man, I just want to thank you for your awesome tutorials, they're done so well and I think your channel is really underappreciated. That said, I'd love it if you would do a version of this song for us strummers, try as I might, with all the hammer ons and pull offs, this one is just too difficult for me to sing and play at the same time.

[@dawson5262]

I’m Confused about how the hammer on‘s pair with the strumming pattern could you explain in more detail please?

[@duggynuggets7772]

Try practicing it by doing a down pick on the 6th string then strumming a simple down up, then do it on the 5th, then do it on the 4th, and keep doing that until you can add the hammer on’s, then do that until you can get it with the strumming pattern

[@edmondfitzgerald]

for every base strum you play, there is a downup on the higher notes in between. 2nd fret 5 string strum, hammer on, downup 2nd fret 4th string strum, hammeron, downup on higher notes

[@Jamesfishing4]

That’s what I’m struggling with it don’t make sense to me

[@waiteproductions]

thank you!

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Sure thing!

[@Phosphic]

Fantastic tutorial!! I’ve been searching for a good video that shows the proper embellishments. Thank you!!!

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Thanks for the comment!

[@georgebush2821]

YESSSSS thank you so much for this -will

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Sure thing bud!

[@agentx175]

Thank you, Tim!

[@TimGuitarLessons]

You're welcome!

[@Over_Driven]

I’m working on your version. Great stuff. Sorry, if you get this question too often, but… What guitar are you playing? Waterloo? Sounds great, really.

[@jamieroberts5557]

Tim, another great one! Hoping you can do snipe hunt sometime soon!

[@GavinOCo]

I find the up-down strokes between the picking extremely difficult to have sound well. Tough to figure out what strings to hit, and have the picking remain much more distinct in terms of volume. Getting there though, good tutorial. And the only i can find lol

[@GavinOCo]

Update: Just practiced and figured it out - one of my go-to songs now. Absolutely killer. Just takes time to figure out the strumming after the picking, but it’s rly just the picking you need to focus on

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Thanks for the update Gavin, I’m glad you have the song in your toolbox!

[@GavinOCo]

@@TimGuitarLessons Absolutely! Thanks for the great tutorial :)

[@nicholasholm5619]

I’m struggling with the same thing now, seems like the high E and B string just muddy everything up with the down up in between the bass melody. Any tips?

[@GavinOCo]

@@nicholasholm5619 I'd suggest just focusing on the picking as much as possible, and ignore how the strumming sounds. Once you have the picking down well enough where you don't have to think about it, you can focus on the volume/technique of the strum to make it sound how you'll want I also pick pretty hardly in this song relative to my strum Just keep on practicing it though. You'll notice my update was posted 3 months after my original comment lol, took a while for me

[@Dillf3]

Hey man this is a great lesson! I’m curious on the strumming pattern when hammering on though. Are you always hammering on when you are playing a downstroke? Like on the G chord. The hammer ons are on a downstroke?

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Yes, each hammer-on is being preceded by a down-pick in the strum pattern

[@riley_keen]

Okay so I have a question when I look at this song in tabs it doesn’t have the D add 7, and I don’t here the slide you do in the intro to the video is this necessary in the song? Thank you for posting these you have helped me chase my dreams!

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Thanks for the comment Riley! I based this lesson off of this version of Jersey Giant that Childers did years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6jZeHmijbqBe7M In the linked version above, I can definitely hear him switching from a standard D major to a D7 at the end of the bridge. This D7 gets a bit obscured in Elle King's cover... What stands out most in that D at the end of the bridge is instrumentation that walks up over the D, but I'm pretty sure I'm still hearing the acoustic play a D7 under it all like Childers did

[@pennington161]

Woooooo!

I remember all them summers Playing 'til my fingers bled You'd sing the songs and I'd sing with you We'd get drunk and go to bed Looking back at all them memories Lord, I hate to sleep alone But if you ever get the notion That you need me, let me know 'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe I can make it back about an hour or so Hold you close against my skin I need a little warmth on a night so cold Singing songs you used to sing The one about the lady in the long black veil Should have seen the warnings signs But Lord, I love to hear you wail High and lonesome, hard and strong Even if it was a little out of tune Hotter than socks on a jersey giant Lord, I thought you hung the moon I remember all them winters Drinking Woodford 'til we drowned We'd get wind about a party Bundle up and go to town Never worry 'bout the police Never worried much at all I miss those nights of reckless glory I'd come back if you'd just call 'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe I can make it back about an hour or so Hold you close against my skin I need a little warmth on a night so cold Singing songs you used to sing The one about the lady in the long black veil Should have seen the warnings signs But Lord, I love to hear you wail High and lonesome, hard and strong Even if it was a little out of tune Hotter than socks on a jersey giant Lord, I thought you hung the moon I left town when we were over 'Cause it didn't feel the same Every backroad had a memory And every memory held your name 'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe I can make it back about an hour or so Hold you close against my skin I need a little warmth on a night so cold Singing songs you used to sing The one about the lady in the long black veil Should have seen the warnings signs But Lord, I love to hear you wail High and lonesome, hard and strong Even if it was a little out of tune Hotter than socks on a jersey giant Lord, I thought you hung the moon

[@nancykirk2666]

Hi all, I love playing this and it was surprisingly easy to learn. Any other song / tutorial suggestions for songs involving a solid mixture of picking and strumming, similar to this style? :)

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Hey Nancy! A lot of Tyler Childers stuff is a similar style to this one with strumming interlaced with little cross picks and hammer ons/pull offs. I’ve got a lot of other lessons by him on my channel too, so definitely scroll through and see if anything grabs your ear!

[@joshgilliam]

Hey Tim, what model is that Collings again? I'm wanting to add one to my collection. I know you traded for it. What did you trade? And mainly, thanks for the awesome videos!

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Hey Josh! It's a Collings D2H. At the time I got this I traded a Martin HD28V and $600.

[@brendanocallahan8994]

Happy Reunion or Motorcycle by Colter Wall?!

[@colecastleman9588]

Am I the only one that gets confused about starting the beat down down up down up and the switching to down down up immediately when song starts? Is this because the hammer ons have the affect of another down stroke or what?

[@chrisely309]

would you consider this song challenging?

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Not the easiest song in the world, but also certainly not the hardest

[@dawson5262]

Is this Kenny Powers from eastbound and down

[@TimGuitarLessons]

Trying to keep that under wraps… just teaching a little guitar while I get my arm back in shape
