Salam dostor menin!
Today I noticed I have 888 views on my channel (certainly a better number than two less in each of the places, and even better than 777 because 8 = 7+1, but I digress)
I also gained a new Subscriber, so thank you to them for subscri=bing, and thank you two the thirteen others! 

Yesterday I received a book of lyrics + Chords to country music songs. 

Country music is a genre I am not very familiar with almost as unfamiliar as pop music. (and that is not sarcasm!) But one song caught my eye because it had a Gmaj7 in it, As it turns out the writer meant G6 but I am not one to give up a maj7 so I figured out ways to work it in. The song was a piece of cake to arrange as the saying goes. It is quite a beautiful song. Here is a link to another recording for reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq9bHd58-LA I really like it, and the singer is good two, though I personally think the backup is too upbeat for a sad song, but most music in the genre is that way. 

So what do I like about this song? I love songs that include an I  - ii - V - I progression. To unpack that: If I am in G then it will go G - A minor - D and G
The A minor adds so much to it. 



I am playing in Standard G tuning, in the key of G. I didn't edit this video as it seems good enough to scrape by as is.
