  • sorry to have to correct you but this song is in the key of D.

  • @pat976 Technically, it's in the key of whatever I can sing it in, when it's my video :)

  • ThreeChordGuitar guy, at 41 seconds you say, "you need a C chord, then E-Minor, an F chord, and then a G." When you go from F to G at 50 seconds it looks like you slide your index finger Bar to the 3rd fret with your ring finger on the A string / 4th fret. I'm not familiar with making a G chord that way. Could you please explain. I love your videos. You explain and demonstrate very well. I really want to learn how to play Amarillo By Morning.  I sing it all the time. Thanks!

  • @61dodgelancer You can play a regular G chord if you want to. This is just a barre chord G. I play it because it's the same shape as an F chord - which comes right before it - and you just need to slide on up the neck a couple of frets :)

  • Mojo-love your style, but you are all over the boards-I suggest your first walk through all the chords all the way through, then expand on what you like and why?? Also, most of us looking at these type songs are beginners so bar chords like that F are not in our range-

see all

  • Could you teach how to play Toby Keith's "Love me if you can" ?

  • Thank you..

  • ThreeChordGuitar, I'm sorry but I don't understand your strumming instructions. Are you skipping over the strings sometimes on the up strum? I hear you saying, "Down, Up, Down". "Up, Down, up, Down, Up, Down". "Up, down, up, down, up, down". Could you please elaborate on that? How do you get a rhythm or strum pattern from that?

  • Good training course , Now my fingers are sore, since I'm a begginer, Richie ,But I do know Amarillo by singing it, Ty

  • good teacher!!!

  • @ThreeChordGuitar Where are you from then?

  • @ThreeChordGuitar Thanks for your explanation and solution to my question. I really like your videos b/c they're not too complicated for beginners to learn to play.
