Bob Seger has a pile, well, big piles [Eb] of cool, cool songs.
This is You'll Accompany Me from his 1980 album Against the Wind.
On one hand it's really simple.
[N] Three chords.
You can do the whole thing with just A, E, and D.
The three main chords in the key of
A.
You can play it with just a simple folk strum.
Down, down, [E] up, up, down, [A] up.
[E] Now he [A] does use a kind of [Em] an inversion of a chord.
At one point, instead of just [Eb] playing an A chord, it goes to A with C sharp in the bass.
I have a whole lesson put together on this at Totally Guitars that talks about that and
also goes into the most important thing I like to have people work on in this lesson
is the idea of double time strumming.
Rather than just keeping your [A] hand moving at the speed, downs at the speed of quarter
notes and strokes at the speed of eighths, what we need to do is have the strokes be
sixteenths.
That would sound like this.
Then we want to work that in to just a beat or two at a time.
So the lesson [Db] goes into particularly [C] a measure just like that.
[B] What I was doing was playing an A chord there with a quarter note on the first beat, just
a down, a pair of eighths on the second [A] beat, a down-up, the same thing on the third beat,
another down [N]-up, and then a set of four sixteenths on the fourth beat.
[A] So it's down, down-up, down-up, down-up, down-up.
So you have [Eb] to change speeds in the middle of the strum.
So [N] anyway, that's what the lesson goes into.
Now this is part of the Target program at Totally Guitars where there are, again, lots
and lots of very detailed lessons.
Of course, we have a lot of lessons on the free side at Totally Guitars and of course
here on our YouTube channel, TG Free Lessons.
So this is a very basic lesson, but it does go into the idea of double-time strumming
and gives you some tips and techniques and practice little segments to be [Eb] playing along
with me while we're doing that.
So if you're interested in taking your strumming to the next level a little bit, maybe a lot,
come check out.
You'll accompany me at Totally Guitars.
