1st heard Woody in the local cinema, down Cwmbran Town, S.Wales, G.B. bak in mid 70's ; he was on film at WoodStock !! really Gr8 !! just Luv this 'pickin' & stuff !! makes me happy 2 tap my feet & jig about !! laugh out load !! BRILLIANT !! :))

[MrCaioliz]

is good to listen to him,like said Dyla''make us feel that we are someone else''.This is omnly one guitar,I think Nick Dr\aake used dthis kind pof great thecnic to play,using the E,A,D, strings too much gross combinning good licks blues-based like on that wonderful song.

[TheOlmecindian]

is it just him playing or 2 guitars ?

[tomasbermea]

@TheOlmecindian i think it's a guitar, bass, and harmonica.

[ProzorVerloc1]

is it one guitar?

[gtrmonpa]

Hey there, @ProzorVerloc1,

It sounds like one guitar. If there are two guitars the second one is wasted effort. I can play it. It's in the key of B, the chords are B, E, and F#(7). I think it's capoed up two frets and played with the A, D, and E(7) chords. You could also play it capoed up four frets and using the G, C, and D(7) chords, but I don't think I ever hear the B notes at the 7th fret so I suspect played out of at capoed at 2nd fret.

great

[rottenvikingshark]

what talent.

[EstevanL]

hmm i always though the first part went "im just like a little outlaw hangin on a tree"

[WhileminaHarker]

@EstevanL there is a different version of the song that goes that way

[whorewrangler]

@EstevanL ~It's music man, each person can play it how they want. Look at all those older country stars, they all changed music to more fit them, even the lyrics.

sometimes the simplest songs are the best songs cause they go straight to the heart . . .

[antiwar94]

This is so relatable to me. I believe it sums up most of my life. Especially the past couple years.

And that's not a good thing.

[aguineapig]

@antiwar94 Yes it is.

[antiwar94]

@aguineapig Are saying yes to the part where I said it was relatable, or to the part where I said that it being relatable is not a good thing?

[aguineapig]

@antiwar94 its a good thing.

woody was the first protest singer .punk rocker .rapper and god forbid  .dead head..amen

[jodi183]

@jaydee123xyz I SOOOOO agree with you! I was just talking to a friend of mine about this. In short, Woody influenced Dylan who influenced Springsteen who influenced Strummer (of The Clash). Of course, there are other great songwriters who have been hugely influenced by Guthrie. His song catalogue is insane. A great number of great songs.

[beatlesfan4lyfe]

@jodi183 true but dylan was also influenced by hank williams and leadbelly....

Srpingsteen on the other hand isnt half as good as dylan... just sayin
