The Old Rugged Cross | How To Play | Beginner Guitar Lesson

In this tutorial, I'll be teaching you how to play the old hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross". If you'd like to leave me a song suggestion, just put it in the comments down below.

My goal is to make popular songs playable for beginners. For this to be possible, I may make minor adjustments to the original chords of a song.

I had a stroke. I am now blind and have to relearn how to play guitar. Your videos are great because I can listen and play along with you. That helps soooo much.

Thank you for a really simple version of this. I have been trying another tutorial, also simple, but uses a slightly harder strum patter and Cm and D and I just got tired after 3 weeks of working daily to get from G to C. This i can do and it feels soooo good to have done it. This is the very first song i have acheived 😊

YES, FOR THOSE WHO ACCEPTED CHRIST AS LORD & SAVIOR THERE IS VICTORY IN THE CROSS. WE NEED TO KEEP OUR EYES ON THE CROSS NOT THE situation we face.

Could you teach the song, "I Could of Missed It All", by the Freemans? It is on You Tube. It is an older song, but not the Hymns many thing it is. If you could, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You
