How to play "Midnight Rider" by The Allman Brothers (in honor of Gregg Allman) 

Great video Colby, glad to see younger people who love the music I grew up on.

THANK YOU AGAIN! R.I.P. Gregg. I grew up with Duane Allman, in the late 60's in Jacksonville. I saw them and Lenard Skinner both before they were famous. I'll always have a place in my heart for my Southern roots. Your a great teacher. Hello Capo!

His music lives on...thanks for passing this on to us brother.

You're the real deal. The love for music shines through your soul. That's what can't be taught. Nice dog too.

Excellent lesson. And yes i still get chills when i hear this song!!

The dog didn't howl. You really needed that harmony. LOL. Thanks for posting a great song and good lesson.

i lke your lessons alot thank you.the songs you teach is from my generation and are ever ingraned in my heart.keep it easy to learn.i also like eve of distruction and whats that sound.you are a great teacher .thanks again friend and guitar tutor.

Well, I've got to run to keep from hidin' And I'm bound to keep on ridin' And I've got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing And the road goes on forever And I've got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider And I've gone by the point of caring Some old bed I'll soon be sharing And I've got one more silver dollar But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no I'm not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no I'm not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

You are adorable! Love your teaching style and that accent!! 😗

Nice Hellcat . .. love mine. Thanks for the video. Love that song,.

Good guy and great music! Thanks Buddy!

Good tutorial! Love that guitar btw who makes it? I do have a couple of suggestions, do NOT use that alternate tuning you show for the G minor 7th. The alternate you show is a straight G major chord, couldn’t be more different then a G minor 7th chord just won’t sound right. Also you mentioned muting with your pointer finger. There’s nothing wrong with that, if it works for you go for it but another way to mute the low E string is to wrap your thumb around and mute it with that. Just for anyone starting out.

Good playin'...thanks. 👍🎸😎

Very cool!!👍🙏🎸

You got it a unique guitar fretboard beautiful.

Great breakdown Colby

Amazing song God bless

Thanks for lesson I had heard the song was in an alternate tuning but wasn't sure. Thanks I love this song

Thumbs up from Australia 🇦🇺 Thanks 🙏

Great video..thx..respect to the legendary Allmann bros.

Wonderful!! Thank you!

This is awesome and thank you, but could you show strumming patterns as well?

‘Good video. The first barre chord you made was the correct harmony. It’s a G minor 7 chord. The other two chords you substituted were G major chords. You called them G7, but there was no F note in them.

Thanks Colby! Keepin' it simple! Nice job!

Your dog is just a regular Allman Brothers fan. Lol!

Great job Will you be doing more videos

I like this song in double drop D with the high String tuned in to D as well

It’s a G minor 7 (Gm7) chord, in Drop D tuning.

Thank's for the lesson my man !

Yes wondering colby you know there is another intro to that song when he had the greg allman band and did midnight rider with a different entirely different intro

I watch a lot of yours because I learn more from you, on the midnight rider I really wished you would spend a little more time on the strumming part. That’s were I’m having the most issues. Still so far your the best here.

Great job

The easiest way to drop the E to D is match the 7th Fret on the 6th string to open A 5th string.

you're a good guy, colby.

great video!

Dude, you look familiar what state you from?

Hellcat records frets??? Sweet guitar!

why tune to drop d if your not going to use the six string? It looks like in that first riff you didn't use the six string.

RIP GA.

One request, bury me in Dixie by Riley green. It would be greatly appreciated. I cannot get the chords down myself so I would love to see if you could man. Thanks a lot.

G minor 7 to A minor 7. Song is D Mixolydian mode

It should be played in double drop-D. Try it. It sounds better.

Nice Hellcat

I actually have 2 requests if it's okay. Sam hunt- drinking too much chase rice - if I'm being honest

i use 3 thumb x 3 bar these with ring finger 3 3 3

Cute dog

he didn't die on May 27

Thanks

👍🏼

drop both E strings

A little less talk and a lot more action
