21 Summer is a big hit for Brothers Osborne and it was written by the two brothers, John
and TJ, along with co-writer Craig Wiseman.
The song is in the key of D.
Acoustic part is pretty straight forward, just got key of
D chords and a really basic strum pattern to get us through the whole thing.
The electric guitar part is not going to be terribly difficult to get our fingers on,
like say Stay A Little Longer was another one from Brothers Osborne and that one just
had a very advanced solo in it that was difficult even just getting our fingers on it.
This one's not difficult in that sense, but John Osborne, the lead guitar player, is a
fantastic player and the difficulty and the challenge is going to be to get our guitar
to sound and to feel like he's got it feeling on that recording.
So we're going to talk about tone and some of the subtleties that he's using to get that sound.

I [G] think about you now and then When I [Bm] see that chevrolet [A] pass [F#m] through
[G]
[D] I hear that [G] song, a song that you [D] will sing Hope you [G] rise but still as gold [D] it rings
As [Bm] we put that down you [A] slip off those good [G] old shoes
[Bm] [G]
When I hear the sound of high [D] tide from the hills I [G] can see your hair falling in [D] the breeze
[Bm] Thinkin' bout how you sang that 21 [F#m] song with the [D] band up
Yeah [F#m] you made a mess
[B] [D]
[Bm] [F#]
[G] When I hear the sound of high tide [D]
from the
I can [G] see your hair falling in the [D]
breeze
Thinkin' [Bm] bout how you and that 21 [A] song with the [A] band up
In this tutorial we're going to go over the [D] rhythm guitar part on the acoustic guitar
and there's really three forms or three chord progressions that we're going to need to go over.
So let's start with the intro and the verse and get our fingers on the chords.
You can kind of hear this high A note pretty clearly on that recording.
So we're going to play the verses with this form of a D chord instead of this.
This is a standard D right?
We're going to use that later.
But for the verses we're going to use this.
Open D, that's the second fret of G, third fret of B, fifth fret of high E.
Now that's going to be a little bit awkward if you've never played that shape before.
And there's nothing wrong with just playing a standard D chord there either.
It's not wrong.
But if we really want to get the sound that we hear on that record, we can play it like that.
[G] Okay, then we're going to want a G chord, standard G chord, that's third fret of low E, second, open, open.
We'll play third of B, third of high E.
For B minor [Bm] 7, we'll [B] leave that open E sus in there.
[B] So we've got second fret of A, [Bm] open D, second fret of G, third fret of D, open high E.
I'm just going to do bar chord, having kind of equal distribution in velocity as we're striking the downstrokes [D] and upstrokes.
For this intro.
Then we'll move to [G] a G chord.
[D] Then we're going to go into the verse.
And when we go into the verse, we are going to kind of slip into more of a musical strum pattern of
down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, accenting that downstroke there.
Okay, so let's go through a verse, starting on this D chord.
D, now we're going to go to a G.
[G]
Now a B minor, [D]
lead guitar comes in here, to a G, and the verse starts here.
[D]
[G] Alright, a lot of cool stuff happening on the electric guitar here, as you'd imagine, from John Osborne,
who's really a fantastic player.
Sounds to me like he was using a Bigsby, which is this whole thing,
where you do kind of, functions like a whammy bar,
just fluctuate the pitch up and down just a little bit.
We've got a lot of delay, and at a couple points, you'll hear us talk through some specifics,
where it sounds like most delay pedals will have a feedback knob,
and if you're in the studio, you can automate this.
It's a little harder if you're live, but you can just physically crank up that feedback knob,
and kind of get this endless sound going on that you can hear a couple times,
especially in the intro and the outro.
So let's start with that.
Let's talk about the intro.
It sounds like this.
Alright, I've got my bridge pickup on here.
[D]
[G]
Alright, so finger position is going to be important here,
because [G] we need to make this shape, but then we need to be able to do the walk down at the end.
[Bm] [F#m] To the A.
We're just going to come up [G] here, which is [F#] 12, 12, 14 of G, B, and high E.
The last part that we've got to learn here is the bridge, and once we learn it,
we're going to play the progression three times, and we just have a slight variation or two.
So let's get our fingers on it.
This is how it goes after [F#m] the first chorus.
One, two, three.
[B] [F#m]
[B] [F#]
[F#m] [B] [A] Two, [C#] three, go.
[D]
[G] [D]
[Bm] [F#m]
[Em]
When I hear the sound of high tide [D] water, I can [G] see the heaven in the [D] sea,
because [Bm] I have to learn the 21 [A] songs to [G] build a bridge.
Yeah, you can't beat us.
[D] [N]
and TJ, along with co-writer Craig Wiseman.
The song is in the key of D.
Acoustic part is pretty straight forward, just got key of
