"Tennessee Whiskey" is a country song written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove, which was originally recorded by American country music artist David Allan Coe in 1981. American singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton recorded an R&B-influenced cover of the song for his debut studio album Traveller released in 2015.
This song has just two chords; A major and B minor. As the B minor chord is tricky for some, an easier option is use a capo at the 2nd fret and play the chords G major and A minor, which I teach in the video.
We'll also look at the simple lead line, which I teach towards the end of the video!

#foofighters #andyguitarHow to record acoustic guitar in Garageband in just over 10 minutes...Andy Guitar2023-04-19 | ✅ Watch the FULL course this video is from ✅ andyguitar.co.uk/courses/learn-home-recording-with-garageband Learn the principles of recording guitars, vocals and using virtual studio instruments with Garageband, Andy's recommended recording software.
In this lesson Andy shows us how to record an Acoustic Guitar in GarageBand. This is similar to recording Electric Guitar, but we use different settings on the channel to give us a more appropriate sound for an Acoustic Guitar.
Here's how to play the beginners classic House Of The Rising Sun! Here, I cover how to play the version by The Animals, but it's played the same in most versions of this song and works just as well on acoustic guitar as on electric.
This is one of the most popular guitar riffs for total beginners. However - it is pretty tricky! If you can't quite nail it - try any of these lessons to get your single string picking more up to speed...then revisit this in a few days or weeks when you have progressed.

Here are my top 3 chord progressions for beginners, from total beginner to late stage beginner!
The 3 chord progression clips are taken from the jam track videos recently added to my Beginners Course. This is a huge update that aims to answer the FAQ - what should be able to do before moving on to the next level? The answer is to be able to play along to the 3 short jam tracks at the end of each level, along with the knowledge listed in the practice routines at lesson 7 of each level.
Here's how to play "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" by Green Day on Acoustic guitar.
The chords and main strumming to this song are quite beginner friendly. The picking for the intro is more at an intermediate level and can take quite a while longer to master.
In this video we look at a 5 minute picking practice routine for beginners. This can be used to help move you from just strumming songs to being able to nail a picking part in songs such as Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) by Green Day, among countless others!
