How to Play Barton Hollow (Simplified Version) by The Civil Wars

This is the easier of my two versions to play this song. This one is just easier to sing with and a quick video to learn the basics of Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars. As with all of my instructional vids, it is by no means perfect, but certainly enough to get you goin with the song. Leave any questions or comments down below and I'll do what I can to help.

The best video of John Paul White's figuring is with NPR's tiny desk series of the Civil Wars.

is it all standerd tuning but the drop D?

[LoganCookMusic]

the way I play it is standard tuning, play a D, with your middle finger on the A string 3rd fret, then on the second strum lift your middle finger. Those are the first two notes, then you put your middle finger back on the A strong 3rd fret for a note, hammer off it, then hammer on the D strong 3rd fret, then hammer back off. So your basically keeping the D chord the whole time while hammering on and off of the A-string 3rd fret.
