Well, I would agree if poverty was only a psychological thing. Poverty is real and there are people who cannot afford food or books/knowledge. Even at that, there are mental states where the patient has absolutely no control over the situation.
There is much that is fake about Dolly (surgically speaking, which she herself laughs at) but NOT her guitar playing. This lady is one extremely talented musician. A beautiful lady inside and out, she really is very special.
She is very talented but these days she doesn't have to play much but usually plays one or two songs live in open tunings which require only one finger to fret the chords that's how she gets round it these days. It just limits her to pretty much only major chords but that's all she needs on the songs she plays on. I believe she can play some banjo too which is kinda the norm for folks from her generation in the Smokey mountains of Tennessee.
This song always brings tears in my eyes, it brings back memories of being bullied and laughed at for wearing hand me downs to school. Hope ppl understand how cruel it is to laugh at someone for not having the money to buy new clothes and shoes.
It’s really fantastic musicianship, which you don’t see as much of these days. Being able to play single note melodies (vs. just strumming some chords) at album recording quality while also putting in a pristine vocal performance takes lots of practice and talent.
'Wings of Pegasus " smiled throughout his viewing as he usually does; commenting "It's her style!" I'D SAY FAKING , and also her RHYMING is evident of her total persona. " and makin' fun of me, ME, and my coat of many colors, that mama made for ME" is what other songwriters call a Cheap Rhyme---For a professional writer to do this, it's a cop out-because RHYMING the word "Me" with the word again used, "ME" is a cheap shot-She could have easily found a better word/phrase to rhyme with the word ME., again; don't you think? After all, this is the composer who wrote "Islands in the Stream" and could stretch out the word "I" (will always love you ett., ) all the way to Whitney Houstin's studio, right ? Of course, "ME" seems to be her favorite word. When you put the CAPO on the strings become closer together; She couldn't function in this manner without a capo; They say she "plays" three musical instruments; I dont' call this "performing" on guitar, I call it using the guitar for an easy back-up. Wonder why she won't do a violin solo with her NAILS? Can't find the three instruments still. SO BEAUTIFUL back then too, NATURALLY. Wish she had stayed that way instead of resorting to all the make-up and adding lip liners ! NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL PERFORMER... but resorting to a cheap shot rhyme! Sorry, Dolly-but check it out.
She often uses open tunings, so she would just barre the fret, though this one looks like G,C, and D in standard tuning capoed up, and she is just carefully fretting one or two notes of the chords, usually the bass notes.
@eric kowalski she barred all 6 strings on her fretting hand with one finger flat on the strings instead of fingertips so her nails are not touching guitar except on her right hand but that's a good thing. To do this the guitar is tuned totally different it's tuned open to a chord usually D or E or G .
Only if you come from that place,do you TRUELY appreciate this song. As I do. I use to watch (as a kid) my grand mother and her sister make "beautiful" quilts of many colors,layers of cotten,material,patches and/or squares and embelishments, for weeks sewing,almost an inch thick when done,and they keep you warm,even with a coal grate fire burning out.
People have always said the same about Johnny Cash which just goes to prove just like rock or pop there is a lot more to country music than people think who tend to stereotype it like it's all sad which it's not. It's just real music about real things that people can relate too.
My mother made me one out of left over scraps from other sewing she had done. Turned out to be really beautiful I still have it. Love the song- definitely brings back memories.
Hi! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this performance by Dolly Parton. 👏 I really wonder why everybody tends to play the Country music only & only & only with the Steel String guitar! And it's a law (written/unwritten) & everybody observes it! The Classical guitar has always been under shadow of Steel String guitars! 😒
Normally you think of guitarists with a signature sound its Slash, or Angus Young, etc. Those nails of hers really give her guitar playing a beautiful sound. You can hear the nails picking the strings, a sound a pick(or fingertips) just can't deliver.
I've always wondered, did her parents live long enough to see her become successful? I know that her family grew up with very little means. So, I would bet that if her parents lived to see her success in country music, that she took care of them for the rest of their lives. She's got such a huge heart, and a very giving spirit about her. Can anyone answer my question? And could anyone recommend any good books about her life, preferably something she may have wrote her self. Thank you in advance!

What an amazing musician and person. And how she can play with those nails...I am guessing she had to learn guitar with short nails first then gradually adjust her playing and chords with longer nails.
That type of guitar (nylon string) and playing doesnt really require a pick which is more for volume. Ive played guitar for 40 years and learned without a plectrum and still very rarely use one unless im playing electric lead guitar or need volume playing un plugged on acoustic.
I saw your up-lifting, down-to-earth reply to someone's amazing comment when he/she praised you for actually playing instruments, as apposed to today's rappers and hop-hopsters. However, you deleted your reply. Dolly, please tell us, is there any reason why you deleted your magnificent reply?
Guys can anyone hear the similarity between this song and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Joseph and the amazing technicolored dream coat" track: Pharaoh's Dream Explained? The melody might have been inspired from Dolly's chorus.
Dolly may be known primarily for her singing, or her outrageous fashion, hair and bosom, but that was some excellent technique on the guitar. How many hours of practice do you suppose that took?
She played since young days. I've played 40 years now since I was 10 and have taught many beginners over the years it's very time consuming but your prepared to put in about 3 hours a day say 4-5 days a week you could learn this song a basic version in a couple of months. It's getting the coordination and rhythm down that takes time it looks easier than it is. But I had an 11 yr old absolute beginner young girl playing Knockin on heavens door in about 3 weeks.
Hi Dave! Sweetie, I got your message. I know the connection that music has with those we have loved and lost. Not a day goes by that I don't come across a song that reminds me of my Dad or brother. Take care and God bless! ♥•.¸¸.•´¯`•. ♫

Girlys of other countries and where its cool to openly vote and dudes of the others, dont forget you can contract me out for your Rulership position!!!
Two tell-tales she is a real guitarist: - 1. She has a capo. 2. She looks down occasionally at her fretting hand. One thing that makes me wonder; - 1. Those nails. Re. 1. Just kidding; the wigs and nails were not a fail, they were a deliberate choice and served her well.
I read on the net that the only reason she could play with those nails is because she use open tuning. How many chords can she play with that tuning,just a few?
How she plays with those nails has always blown me away--much respect
and its a nylon ... a lot of respect
I imagine it's similar to using finger picks :)
I like this song
Jelly Donut The fretside
Apparently...as i play..uses mostly barr chords and when doesnt she lightly touches with pads of fingers not tips
As a guitar player, I don't see how this is possible with fingernails. Not on the left hand. Amazing.
I heard she would have her guitar tuned so she could use a lot of bar chords instead of open chords.
@@Lucas_AaronThis is a standard-tuned guitar with a capo, she's playing regular chords on it.
1 Instrument, 1 voice, no back singers, no harmonizing, just a VERY talented and gifted woman telling her story. ♥♥♥♥
She has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. Such a talented singer/songwriter and so impossibly gorgeous inside and out.
thewomaninthemoon she does have a great voice [ & also great skills as a musician & entertainer ] but lets face it she's as silly as she is memorial

She does many great things for the community as well, at the local, national, and international level. A treasure to humanity.
"One is only poor only if you choose to be"
Wow. Such powerful words. :')
@Dolly Parton shut up Dolly
Well, I would agree if poverty was only a psychological thing. Poverty is real and there are people who cannot afford food or books/knowledge. Even at that, there are mental states where the patient has absolutely no control over the situation.
@Angel Nunn Correct. I wish more people could sincerely feel that way about wealth. I love listening to all her songs.
There is much that is fake about Dolly (surgically speaking, which she herself laughs at) but NOT her guitar playing. This lady is one extremely talented musician. A beautiful lady inside and out, she really is very special.
Linda Jones Dolly is a blessing and I love her theme park😁
You can say that again Bob 😂 been playing 10 years and only just cracked this masterpiece
She is very talented but these days she doesn't have to play much but usually plays one or two songs live in open tunings which require only one finger to fret the chords that's how she gets round it these days.

I can’t even play with my nails above the quick, how she does this is beyond me. A queen and a legend!
Goddamn she's talented. I don't know how anyone could do that with nails that size and keep a beautifully calm and soothing voice!!
i’ll never get over how well she plays on top of being a great voice AND songwriter.
It’s really fantastic musicianship, which you don’t see as much of these days. Being able to play single note melodies (vs. just strumming some chords) at album recording quality while also putting in a pristine vocal performance takes lots of practice and talent.
This song makes me want to cry. My mom didn't sew, lol, but I cannot connect to the emotion of it. Lovely.
good song
My mum sewed. She used to sew us simple shirts.
How can you not love Dolly? She's such a beautiful person!
Dolly is a National Treasure. Mighty Oaks from little acorns grow.
the musicianship. the NAILS. what a legend
I'm guessing everyone else came here to see her play with nails too haha

PLEEAASE can someone say me how to play guitar with long nails? Everyone says it's impossible but Dolly does it, right?
Mill nah
she uses Barre chords!! So happy I can play what I love and still have great nails.
People say it’s not impossible it’s just extremely difficult I feel like after TONS of practice you can get it just right

She is one of those singers whose music always tells great stories
Amazing. Total respect to Mz. Dolly: instrumentalist, singer, song writer, business woman, actor, philanthropist, and so much more...
one of the greatest artists of the music industry. doesn’t matter what era
Stunningly beautiful song. Such genuine song writing and emotion. Dolly Parton is a true talent
When it comes to Dolly YES i do like country
People have always said the same about Johnny Cash which just goes to prove just like rock or pop there is a lot more to country music than people think who tend to stereotype it like it's all sad which it's not. It's just real music about real things that people can relate too.
Mbega Dolly ukuntu urumuhanga! Much lv from Rwanda
Respect to Dolly from Scotland!
My mother made me one out of left over scraps from other sewing she had done. Turned out to be really beautiful I still have it. Love the song- definitely brings back memories.
Fantastic. Perhaps Dolly's best song.
Loved it. She's a fine artiste....and a nice person to boot :-)
It may be a bit sentimental and simple, but it is real music, performed in a way very few pop artists would be able.
Came to try and learn how to play the guitar with claws but stayed for this woman's soul wow 😭🤧
One of the best rappers.
Amazing talent. Her voice is angel. N still wondering at her guitar skill.
Not like the musicians born today, who can't play instruments.
What a voice.
OOOOH YES, she's def. the top, I love her! Killer playing with those nails! 😱

I love you so much Dolly Parton you're the best
Awesome voice
Normally you think of guitarists with a signature sound its Slash, or Angus Young, etc. Those nails of hers really give her guitar playing a beautiful sound. You can hear the nails picking the strings, a sound a pick(or fingertips) just can't deliver.
The G.O.A.T. I was just doing research on what female Country artists played guitar on stage besides Taylor Swift.
I've always wondered, did her parents live long enough to see her become successful? I know that her family grew up with very little means. So, I would bet that if her parents lived to see her success in country music, that she took care of them for the rest of their lives. She's got such a huge heart, and a very giving spirit about her. Can anyone answer my question? And could anyone recommend any good books about her life, preferably something she may have wrote her self. Thank you in advance!
They did. There are even some interviews here on CZcams that she did with her parents well after she became Succesful in music.
Her parents I believe died within the last 15 or so years
What a song such a beautiful
Sweet memories...and now after learning guitar I still wonder how she could ever play so well with those fingernails!! :)
I am 52 and I just started learning guitar. It is not easy, baby.
in my eyes best singer ever xx
I wish she and Madonna were friends. Don't mind what I say, I always have these naive thoughts.
.Dolly's an ICONIC PERFORMER, we all agree.Love her IMAGE? And her PEFORMING "LOOKY AT ME, LOOK WHAT I KIN DO" and strength of attitude- i can hardly wait for her to give us a live video of her having her vaccination, either; Surely she'll want to capitolize on $hat: "EXCITING SENSATIONAL NEWS from Legendary American singer-songwriter, actress and philanthropist Dolly in Delusion is donating one million dollars to Covid!"Legendary American singer-songwriter, actress and philanthropist DollyParton net worth is estimated at $600 million.

You must view Paul Joseph Watson's VIDEO on "Hollywood!" I stopped watching when the daughter of a Country Star PERFORMED BURLESQUE (and worse) then told Dolly she had to apologize, for that, that she really was a devout Christian! AND REALLY
I can't believe there was a time when entertainers had talent
Dolly is the only country musician that I listen too nothing can really compare to her work
Dolly sounds like an angel and looks like an angel....
Also that dress in so gorgeous
I have always looked up to Dolly Parton and I am proud to share my name with my idol
Oh my god, she is so beautiful, beyond words beautiful...
wiping away tears....
My favorite Doll
Beautiful music! much respect

God honors her. Kennedy Center doesn't have to honor her.
They did honor her.
LOVE the blouse she's wearing in this video!
DOLLY👸 Excellent💖💃🏻🌟😍
Great!🎼🎵🎸🎤📀📺🎥👍👏
From Hong Kong🙋♀️🌏💝🌺🥰
Happy 76th Birthday Dolly
Talent.
Love this. Always have. Always will.🎉
, God bless her heart
Dolly was such a babe and super talented!!!!
will remain as a nominee for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, despite her request to be removed from consideration....
THATS DOLLY PARTON PLAYING GUITAR? HOLY CRAP SHES GOOD !!
how does she play with nails in her left hand !!!
fake playing
Not fake
yes,it is,just watch her hands!Any one with half a brain can tell,it is fake
Fouad Elbnnaye it's only like three notes what's impressive is the finger picking
Yeah
Happy birthday Dolly.
Get it Dolly! You got it going on girl.
Amazingly done
We need a Dolly Parton unplugged album done by Rick Rueben, dontcha think!?!?
An underrated guitarist, imo.
my favorite song
mamas passion
What an amazing musician and person. And how she can play with those nails...I am guessing she had to learn guitar with short nails first then gradually adjust her playing and chords with longer nails.
Dolly is pure American treasure.
Nice tis is my favourite song. I like it.
Love your nails dolly ♥️
Sublime chanson // + no plectrum needed. 💅🏻
That type of guitar (nylon string) and playing doesnt really require a pick which is more for volume. Ive played guitar for 40 years and learned without a plectrum and still very rarely use one unless im playing electric lead guitar or need volume playing un plugged on acoustic.
Y knowe this isn't necessarily the best example but DP has skills most ppl don't recognize / chk how she plays gtr on this perf
Impressive guitar skills
everytime that i'm sad i come here
Amen
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
This video has changed the way I thought you played guitar. The rules have been changed everyone!
The rules stay the same - no rules.
Soo much better than all the shit that comes out nowadays! The worlds gone to shit
I saw your up-lifting, down-to-earth reply to someone's amazing comment when he/she praised you for actually playing instruments, as apposed to today's rappers and hop-hopsters. However, you deleted your reply. Dolly, please tell us, is there any reason why you deleted your magnificent reply?
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great playing...
real life angel
I wish Dolly could just release a solo acoustic album.
Guys can anyone hear the similarity between this song and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Joseph and the amazing technicolored dream coat" track: Pharaoh's Dream Explained? The melody might have been inspired from Dolly's chorus.
Dolly may be known primarily for her singing, or her outrageous fashion, hair and bosom, but that was some excellent technique on the guitar. How many hours of practice do you suppose that took?
She played since young days. I've played 40 years now since I was 10 and have taught many beginners over the years it's very time consuming but your prepared to put in about 3 hours a day say 4-5 days a week you could learn this song a basic version in a couple of months. It's getting the coordination and rhythm down that takes time it looks easier than it is. But I had an 11 yr old absolute beginner young girl playing Knockin on heavens door in about 3 weeks.
To beautiful for words! ღ•´¯`•.¸❤
Such a great song by Dolly :)
Hi Dave!
Sweetie, I got your message. I know the connection that music has with those we have loved and lost. Not a day goes by that I don't come across a song that reminds me of my Dad or brother. Take care and God bless! ♥•.¸¸.•´¯`•. ♫

Ach, man. It's not the same without autotune and not being almost naked!
Dolly Parton & Noelle Bush For Office, and someone, just do the paperwork in nomination form!!!, also, more, wont hurt!
Girlys of other countries and where its cool to openly vote and dudes of the others, dont forget you can contract me out for your Rulership position!!!
she looked real cool here
Two tell-tales she is a real guitarist: -
1. She has a capo.
2. She looks down occasionally at her fretting hand.
One thing that makes me wonder; -
1. Those nails.
Re. 1. Just kidding; the wigs and nails were not a fail, they were a deliberate choice and served her well.
Does anyone know when she started getting surgery on her face?
Amazing guitar skills to play with long nails like that!
you have butiful voce
I read on the net that the only reason she could play with those nails is because she use open tuning. How many chords can she play with that tuning,just a few?
Usually only need 3 chords in open tuning also a lot of country just needs 3 chords .
How does she do that 😮
Ms. Dolly sounds like a morning sparrow 🥺
I'd love to hear Baby Dee cover this.
