Hello friends,
welcome back to Swiftlessons for another by request song tutorial. In today's session I'm breaking down how to play Willie Nelson's 1980 classic "On the Road Again." This is an excellent song for beginner-intermediates hoping to master common bar chord shapes, and improve their rhythm and lead guitar skills. Let's get started!

Hi Rob, I'm a hard rock guitarist whose been offered a gig playing Willie Nelson songs, so this tutorial was not only fantastic, but it brought me into a new realm of guitar playing outside my hard rock comfort zone. Thank you!
Now I'm off to another one of your tutorials, "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain".

Great lesson! Your timing and nuances are awesome Rob! This one is a little tricky to get timing down while singing and picking the notes… but that means it’s a perfect lesson to get better at combining the three… you have so many amazing lessons Rob!
