On The Beat - Episode 784 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up November 30, 2024

November 30, 2024

Thanksgiving week was a huge blast around the Hogan house, so the only News I have is that we released a couple new strumming packs, based on some of my recent lists. They are Neil’s Top Strumming Songs Volume 1 and Neil’s Top Strumming Songs Volume 2. Of course, all these lessons are available to our monthly or yearly subscribers but following is what I recommend as suggested (maybe required?) playing for all my students.

Neil’s Top Strumming Songs Volume 1

The first volume of our Strumming Series starts with songs that only use a few open chords and a basic strumming pattern. It then adds tunes with some barre chords.

Only open chords
Knocking On Heaven’s Door
Margaritaville
Lucky Man
Brown-Eyed Girl
Wonderwall
Solitary Man
Sundown
Yellow Submarine

Add barre chords
Tequila Sunrise
Nights In White Satin
Comfortably Numb
Just A Song Before I Go
Lay Lady Lay
Walk Don’t Run
Sister Golden Hair

Neil’s Top Strumming Songs Volume 2

The second volume in our Strumming Series adds songs that use the Country Strum (hitting single bass notes), a few Power Chord based tunes, then concludes with some more complex and challenging lessons.

Power Chord Songs
Polly
You Really Got Me
Crazy Mama

Teach Your Children
Take Me Home Country Roads
Mr. Bojangles
Friend Of The Devil

My chord melody radar just lit up in a big, big way.

Many thanks Neil.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! I just noticed the sound hole on your Santa Cruz. ????

[TGNeil]

Hey Wrench,

Thanksgiving mishap- the guitar was too close to kids playing pool in the basement. My fault for not taking it off the wall. Off to SCGC tomorrow, hopefully.

Yikes! I don't know who won the pool game, but I think you lost. Yikes!

This is why you should always have a couple spare vintage Santa Cruz mini jumbos on hand
