Can you teach me honky tonk heroes by Waylon Jennings

[jackiedixon]

Good lesson. IMO the bests songs that that were ever written were from distinctive voices like Waylon, Willie, Merl, Tompaul, Johnny, Chris, and of course many others. Thanks for the lesson.

[greenman]

Love the drop d sound. Can’t seem to follow directions and get a modified g. Maybe adding a diagram like you have for the standard chords would help. Good tutorial, I’ll look for more Waylon songs and see what you have, thanks 👍
