This is a great version of an ol' tune most everyone recognizes. Easy to learn, fun to play, and impressive to hear. Ol' Hickory AND Johnny Horton would be proud!

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
