    In this lesson I'll teach you to play the complete intro riff to "I Walk the Line", complete with tabs and strumming instructions. I'll start with an easy version that focuses only on the bass notes (no chords or strumming), and from there I'll show a moderate version that adds single chord strums to the mix. Finally, I'll show an advanced version that adds muted strummming and the characteristic "boom-chicka" percussion style. Wherever your skill level is, you'll find what you need to learn this classic song's intro.
    Here's the timestamps for this video:
    0:00 Lesson overview
    2:19 Variation 1: bass notes only
    13:26 Variation 2: adding simple chord strums
    21:27 Variation 3: adding muted "boom-chicka" strumming
    25:18 Farewell

    Hi, great lesson. (I follow playing with a ukulele, but that's pretty the same thing for the most important things to learn).
    To play along with the original recording, people must place a capo at 1st fret.

      nvm managed to find it. I wasnt putting my palm close enough to the end of the guitar so you could not here the chord. All fixed now! If anyone else interested: czcams.com/video/ZLCC-HqI6CY/video.html&ab_channel=SongNotesbyDavidPots

      You need a guitar tech.Your action might be too low,your neck could be bowed or bent or it could be the hazards of a cheaper guitar,my cheap one does it a bit too.

    @100perdido Před 7 měsíci

    The mystery is how many beats are you putting in a measure. In whar is written as one measure has two 1.2 notes followed by four 1.4 notes for a total of two measures in one. Then the last measure is back to having 4 1/4 notes. There is no time signature ane impossible to count. So what you have written as the first measure is actually two measures? I don't get it.
