MARGARITAVILLE – Guitar Lesson
Folk-style contribution from Jimmy Buffett about a simple albeit slightly tipsy lifestyle. Everyone knows the chorus! Here's your Margaritaville guitar lesson.
The first strum after each chord change is a single down strum followed by a quick up ….. then an up/down/up.
This patterns continues throughout.

Your site has the best approach to learning a song. You go slow and picture the chord as you go along in the song. These are the following songs I would like to know if you do a tutorial on. Need More of you Bellamy Bros, Oakie from Muskokie Merle Haggaard,Tulsa Time Don Williams, Jambalya Hank Williams, Folsom Prison Johnny Cash, Wabash Canon Ball, Lord I Hope This Day is Good Don Williams, Got No Reason Gene Watson, Saginaw Michigan Lefy Frizzel. Thanks. Dave Stigen
Thanks Dave ….. three of these are a possibility: Oakie, Tulsa and Folsom …. you obviously love songs about places.
Is your paid program more extensive than your free videos. I just watched Margaritaville but couldn't pick up much in such a short video. You play fantastic! But I need to know how many bars of D ,how many bars of A and how many bars of A7 etc as well as the strum pattern throughout. Thanks!
Much more extensive yes.
Thank you, I have been looking for a site like this that will show strumming and chording. I have just started learning at a late date in my life but enjoy greatly palying music and understanding it a little better.
Thanks a bunch Kevin!
I am a member of Song Mentor but can no longer access the videos because of a "Parse" error. Can you fix this? I don't know how to reach Jackson
Hi Edward …. if you are using Safari like I am …. Google has stopped allowing videos to be posted on websites. I am now using Firefox with no issues. Please give that a try.
