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.

      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.
