Learn how to play Townes Van Zandt – If I Needed You note-for-note on guitar.

Difficulty level: Intermediate

Barre chords: No

Thumb over chords: No

Playing Style: Fingerpicked (Travis picked)

Tuning: Standard

This lesson teaches Townes’ guitar part from the Live at the Old Quarter recording. The lesson is broken into 3 videos because, although the main song / verse part is consistent and simple, the intro and interlude are both very long and don’t follow any consistent picking pattern. That means that those who want to learn note-for-note what he’s playing are going to have to get down in the trenches and go through it bar-by-bar, and that’s what we do in this lesson.

The complete file contains a lesson video, a performance play thru video, full tabs, chords and lyrics. You’ll receive a link to download the lesson which will download as a zip file of 328 Mb containing all the lesson content.

      Hi Gregory
      This is a strange one. I’ve checked the file many times and can never find any problem.
      Are you on a PC or Android phone? I’ve only heard of problems on a phone.

    Thanks for a great lesson!!

    Which version is this? Do you have a YouTube-link?

    I have bougth this one, and the sound on three of the video files are corrupted when I play the files (except the intro) on my Android phone. They work fine on VLC Player on PC. All other files I have bought from you works fine on all devices.

      Hi NJ.
      It’s the Live at the Old Quarter version.
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n436t_zJPy4
      I’m not sure what the problem could be with the sound on Android. I’ll see if I can replicate the problem here.

    Эй, Джерри, сукин сын! Почему нет его лучшей песни – Buckskin Stallion Blues? Столько мусора, а этой красивой песни нет? Беспорядок! Срочно делай! Большое спасибо.

      I do the songs that people request. I don’t choose which ones.
      Now that you’ve requested that one, I’ll add it to my list.
