I found a couple of old videos that I uploaded to YouTube. Here's one that I could use some help on the strumming; I think it's off a bit.

This is "South of the Border", recorded first, I think, by Gene Autry, and covered by several country artists including Patsy Cline, Marty Robbins, Willie Nelson, et.al.



PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.

Well as usual very well sung! :)

As for the playing, I think the strumming is just fine. Folkstrum, which you could dress up with a double strum here and there, same as the one which is used in the intro of Tequila Sunrise, that's about it!

Nice one Terry! :)

Very nice singing on this, Terry, and fine playing as well! Not a song I knew, but you certainly did it justice!

An oldie but a goldie. More than a few have covered this song from the movie of the same name 'South of the Border'. Gene Autry, Frank Sinatra and Patsy Cline but to name three of the best known.

Anyway, good job playing and as ever great vocals.

Hey Tom, hadn't heard Old Blue Eyes' version. Many good artists on this one, but Patsy, once again, takes the trophy IMO.

Thanks for the thumbs up.

Suzi, thank you, thank you. I like the old Country-Western bestest :)

Hello Terry

Nothing south about that....
I can only appreciate I don't have the ability to advise.

I see Vanessa :P has given you a suggestion.
She knows her stuff too!

Hi Terry,

Sounding nice to me. As Vanessa suggested an occasional 1/16th strums would sound good too.

Thanks for sharing
