  • Thank you so much for the song. I too was touched by this song. I come from a military family. I have several aunts uncles and cousins that have gone through the experience.

    I myself have joined the Marines. This is probably the most meaningful song I've learned to date. Thank you.

  • you're very welcome. Stay safe, friend, and thank you for your service.

  • Once my camera's batteries charge, I'm gonna record me playing this song. I'll probably have it uploaded tonight, so check it out if you're interested in seeing how well you're lesson works. ^_^

  • could u explain the finger picking and the strumming patern pliz , thanks a lot

  • With capo on 4th fret.The picking pattern I use is hold G chord; pick 6,2,3,4 strings. Then D; pick 4,1,2,3. Then EM; pick 6,2,3,4. Then C; pick 5,2,3,4. Continue picking in this way throughout entire song. But I like to strum the chorus and I use a basic DUUD strum

see all

  • Just wanted to thank you not only for the tutorial but also the story along with it. You truly tapped into the heart of the song. It is appreciated.

  • hey good video it helping me alot but whats the plucking pattern

  • 4 people aren't true Americans

  • I just dont understand the strumming 0.0 :(.

  • Mojo: Not only do I appreciate this as a great instructional video, but I also appreciate the sentiment. I'm a rookie 'picker' and started singing Karaoke at a friends VFW show. I did this song (and Toby Keiths "American Soldier") there and WOW did they appreciate it. Now I'm going to learn to play it so I can do it live instead of Karaoke. I'm totally stoked! Thanks for putting this Video out there for us!

  • Good stuff. Thanks.

  • Great lesson man! Thanks

  • Hey man, I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan, I'm in the U.S. Army. Picked a guitar up TODAY for the very first time. I have been watching alot of your videos and can safely say that I have the very begining of Folsom Prison blues down. Just none of the rest of the song haha. Any song suggestions for a rookie?

  • Man, could you please tell us what the strumming pattern and plucking pattern is? that would be sooo helpful!
