"Oh, Lonesome Me” Don Gibson + Neil Young Versions ~ An Uncle Tony’s Guitar Lesson by Tony Cultreri

Details

Description

Here's An Uncle Tony's Quick Tutorial of how to play “Oh, Lonesome Me” by Don Gibson two ways: as Don Gibson recorded it in 1958 (including the great Hank Garland guitar solo), and as Neil Young recorded it just 12 years later in 1970 for his album “After The Gold Rush". I try to keep these tutorials as brief as they can possibly be. Remember: you should strive to have almost no tension in your wrists and hands when you are playing, keeping the rhythm is more important than playing the "right" notes, and down / up picking is the key to the universe! Have fun! 😎🤘🍔🍟🎸
