How to Play "Guitar Man" intro by Jerry Reed

[davihn68]

chords!!!!!



[answerstolucky]

Well done! It seems, at least to me, that we don't really realize how talented these guys are until after they are gone. Luther Perkins comes to mind.

[clubbrazil]

last time i used to get his stuff off was bout 1980.i used record taped onto cassette player and worked from that.whats the best way now with all the "newfangled technology"?...............old timer.

[clubbrazil]

anyone know why jerry tunes down one semitone(one step?)

[tom27j]

this is a great lesson, but you are way out of tune, by about 2 steps.

[muzikman74]

@tom27j It's not meant to be played in standard tuning. And yes, it it tuned down one step not two.

[watkinsbob4]

great teaching mr. hunt,,,do more!!!

[jasonmalaniak]

Hi can you teach the rest of Guitar Man ? I checked all your videos, but the only othere video of Guitar Man is you playing Guitar Man at normal speed.

Thank You :)

[radzz1]

Thanks for that intro! I would have never figured out that tuning. Nice job! You wouldn't happen to know Jerry's break down? I've been looking for a lesson on that.

[MrCarpenterwayne1]

Me too

[muzikman74]

I'll be uploading myself playing "Guitarman" , just as soon as I get my Baldwin guitar back from being repaired.

[fritzcars77]

Hey dude can u do the rest of the song yet? I really love the intro lesson but I'm dying to learn the rest!

[muzikman74]

I uploaded myself playing the rest of Guitar Man about a week ago, check through my other videos and you should find it.

[1darrenknight]

your tuning is Eb C F# C# G#  C#

[tarasa28]

that was great, but PPPLLLEEEAAASSEEEE show us how to play the rest of the song! I'w been surfing the net for last week, but couldn't find any kind of tab of guitar pro, 4 guitar man. So, if u can, please show me how to play this song, from the beginin, to the end :) thanks in advance ;)

[d08scl]

Phil, That's great, Ive been trying to work that out for years! I'd love to hear the rest of "Guitar Man" and also "US Male" if you know that one??

Thanks Anyway

im practicing the intro to this tune and i never would of being able to play it if it wasnt for jerrys wierd guitar tunings which makes jerrys compositions hard to figure out and unique,cheers guitar man

[Guitarman1980]

That's awesome....looking forward hearing about "take a walk"!  :-)

Btw, shouldn't the tuning for guitarman sound: Db Ab Db Gb C Eb in order to let the halfstep down, be included in the node names? :-)

Thanks again for sharing your Jerry Reed enthusiasm with the rest of us....and if I may add something, I think Honkin' would be a pretty cool song to learn too, hehe! ;-)

[fenderboy88]

only jerry can write crazy guitar parts,even chet atkins was amazed,according to chet jerry was a better picker than he was

[fngrpckr]

Us aspiring pickers need all the help we can get! I sincerly thank you!

[hurlevent52]

Nice ... Thank you ...

The intro of "Big Boss Man" sung by Elvis and played by Jerry is also very interesting. It's hard to understand what he is doing.

Thanks for sharing if you know about it.

[muzikman74]

Hey I just uploaded how to play the intro to Big Boss Man in case you are interested...take care.

[23L]

intresting tuning.

Thanks!
