Tennessee Stud play through

dean murray — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 22:17:48 +0000

Hey Devin, very thorough lesson on Tennessee Stud. One request...could you do a full play through of your intro riff, verse, and chorus all at once without the pauses between them as done in the second video tab of that lesson? It would be great to be able to play along with you with all three of those at once, such that we could loop your full play through and then mimic playing the whole song. We can just add the ending on our own. Thanks for considering.

Hi everyone,

I am an intermediate guitarist and also a singer. I am feeling motivated to upgrade my playing by learning country music.

Cheers!

Several of y'all were asking us to add this feature back to the site: Loop and slow down any YouTube video. We also added one bonus feature -- "loop delay"...

Pentatonic Position Questions

Michael Kersey — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 21:23:04 +0000

I've always been taught that the Major and Minor Pentatonic position numbers were the same, and the only difference is the key you start in. For example, I have always been taught that the following was position 1, regardless of whether you are playing minor or major pentatonic. The difference was in where you started, whether you were playing minor or major. For example, if you wanted to play Am, play the low E on the 5th fret first; if you wished to play C Major, play the low E on the 8th fret first.

In the Resources, it lists this as position 5 for playing Major Pentatonic, but position 1 for playing Minor Pentatonic.

For clarification, I have always been taught the five positions as they are listed in the Minor Pentatonic diagrams.

While there may be only five shapes, I now have to memorize 10 different position numbers.

Why is this different, or does it make a difference?

e|--5--8--
B|--5--8--
G|--5--7--
D|--5--7--
A|--5--7--
E|--5--8--

Thanks in advance for the help.
