country roads

I have posted this instructional tutorial video in three parts. You may click on a time stamp below to go directly to that part.

Verse: 00:45

Chorus 7:43

Bridge: 13:56

As always, if you would like to go directly to me playing it uninterrupted with guitar chord notations, click here: 23:23

"Take Me Home, Country Roads" is a song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver about West Virginia. In March 2014, it became one of four official state anthems of West Virginia, and is a favorite among bluegrass enthusiasts.

On this video I teach the break -- measure by measure, phrase by phrase, using on-screen tablature, then I put it together -- slowly at first, then faster toward the end, adding rhythm guitar audio overlay and on-screen chord prompts.

Free downloadable tab sheets (PDF) and play-along tracks (MP3) for this and many other tunes are available at my website, www.littlerockbanjo.com.

Hope you enjoy.
