Go to http://yourguitarsage.com/ to find out how to get a free guitar ebook that will have you playing guitar today!!! This guitar lesson vid shows you how to play If I Die Young by The Band Perry. It shows you the chords, strumming technique and style. For more guitar lessons, see my other free tutorials. For original and cover music by me, Erich, go to http://www.myspace.com/erichandreas. Since I'm so busy making new video tutorial lessons all the time and teaching guitar, I probably won't have time to answer individual questions regarding guitar. Other videos cover beginner, advanced and intermediate levels. I teach rock, blues, country and just about any other style on electric or acoustic. If you can't find your answer from the resources at the website above, keep digging into my vids, and I'm sure you will find your answer. Keep practicing!!!

  • @mustaine566 Not sure if I understand the question totally, but check out my lesson on strumming. Search "yourguitarsage strumming" and watch that video. Master the strumming exercises in my ebook 1. Between those two things you should be in good shape!

  • Thank you. I love all of your videos and would always hit "next" once I heard that F was one of the chords. Thanks to this video, I am no longer scared of F. I can actually play it now. So thank you.

  • @GermanXWig Thanks friend! Search "effing f chord yourguitarsage" for more tips on the F chord :)

  • Let's clear up some confusion about the capo. It's a tool, like a wrench or screwdriver. Anyone who says that you are lesser of a player for using one needs to drive nails with their skull instead of a hammer out of sheer ego. I know tons of incredible guitar players that can play circles around the ego-maniacs that tout such nonsense. The capo is not evil or good. It's a tool and is helpful NOT ONLY for changing keys, but also optimizing fingering which allows for chord embellishment, etc. ;)

  • On the whole capo vs bar chords. I don't have a capo, so i am stuck barring any song that is not in the key of c (the other option is tuning your guitar for a specific song, but that's a bigger pain). The thing with barring is that you spend so much time training your left hand to make funny uncomfortable shapes, you ignore your right hand that is suppose to be keeping rhythm. So even when you get all the bar chords down, you still can't play the song. So if you have a capo use it!

  • question in the official vid they play this with no capo in E and they use the same partial chords F#m and G#m as the alman bros do in Melissa , in the grand ol opry vid capo is at the 3rd fret and plays the G which is in the key of b flat and in another vid she capo,s at the 2nd fret and plays G and that puts it in the key of A now your capo at 4th fret and playing an F which is also in A wouldn't the chord progression be the same as far as the 1, 2,m 3,m 5th i have trouble with chord progres-
