"Jockey Full of Bourbon" (Tom Waits) - Rhythm Guitar Lesson, Pt. 1

This is the first installment of a series of guitar tutorials centered on "Jockey Full of Bourbon" by Tom Waits. This video focuses on rhythm techniques including right hand motion and pick rakes.
NOTE: This arrangement has been moved into Fmin (from the original key of Emin) to take advantage of better muting options.

[@keithconner6495]

This is fantastic. Thanks for the hard work

[@CptEtgar]

Amazing.

[@tarqu1no39]

Well done for not putting on a faux gruff voice like most other Waits' covers! Nice interpretation and I never expected when I put the search in that I would find someone doing it on an acoustic, bravo for that!

[@calvandersoundmusic8254]

Thank you. A TW voice really isn’t an option for me anyway...

[@sgall161]

Excellent breakdown of dynamics and feel, which is so overlooked when people play this. Thanks a mill for this, really appreciate you sharing your expertise.

[@thebricker]

Is it mandatory to be a guitarplayer and or a gunslinger when your name is Django?

[@calvandersoundmusic8254]

It’s strongly recommended

[@chadporter5907]

Very nice sir

[@calvandersoundmusic8254]

Thank you!

[@fabiocassara7669]

Great video, but I thought the song was in Em

[@calvandersoundmusic8254]

It was, originally, but I play it in F min for this arrangement b/c open strings don’t work!

[@sven-erikrose5732]

Thanks for this! Isn’t the 5 chord only in the chorus though?

[@calvandersoundmusic8254]

Thanks! I hear the second chord of the verse as the 5 (bass starts with the 5 of the 5, then the root).
