Workshop -- Living In the Country 1 -- Pete Seeger

This is an instructional lesson for this great old song by Pete Seeger based on tab found at the website of fingerstyle guitarist Eric Lugosch. Though I may have added or subtracted a phrase or 2 on occasion, I recommend obtaining the tab in order to help you learn this more quickly and accurately. Try this link: www.ericlugosch....
Oh BTW, it's drop D tuning.
Blessings, Ken

Thanks a lot! This hypnotic bluegrass melody drives me crazy. And thanks to you, I learned it in literally 20 minutes of practice.

[@Kensmusicvideos]

Awesome, it’s a great tune!

[@RickyBlackwell_X]

@@Kensmusicvideos it's a little bit hypnotic like every American folk music. Or every folk music, heh. Anyway, thanks for this lesson

[@Kensmusicvideos]

Yep zarglink, you're absolutely right, I messed up the title of this great Pete Seeger tune. Oh well, can't do much about that at these days. Hopefully folks can get beyond that and find help from whatever might be useful in this clip. Thanks for watching! Ken

Thanks for the phenomenal lesson ken. The internet needs people like you spreading positive knowledge to keep things balanced out.

[@StevenParrisWard]

This is excellent because you actually show how to do it, rather than just playing it SLOWLY like so many do.

[@Kensmusicvideos]

Thanks Steven, glad it was helpful. I’m sure it will be to me also when I go to re-learn it after abandoning it for so many years! :)

[@Kensmusicvideos]

Unfortunatley, the link to Eric Lugosch does not work any more :(

[@zarglink]

As good as the video is, It just bothers the daylights out of me that you open by naming the tune incorrectly. The rest of the video is so good however. Perhaps you could edit the original file and just dub over the part where you call it Back to the country and use your own voice to correct that?

[@survivaloutfitter]

what tuning?

[@StevenParrisWard]

Standard with dropped E to D
