Many years of not playing a tune right !
Now that I have finally learned to play , Over The Waves , decent on the fiddle and playing along with John's tracks and performance videos , I can't find anyone to play guitar rhythm properly for me at jams , Ha so I said to some of them next time I will show you folks how it's done , Ha ! Then I get home and start playing guitar rhythm to Johns performance video and oops ! I can't play it either , So I put in the effort to get it right and after two days I am ready to show and tell , The first three chords are simple and strait forward easy peasy ! But when it goes to the Key of C it's a nine chord roll of two licks on each chord in this order C-E7-Am-C-G-E7-Am-D7-G , and on two song play throughs that roll is done four times The G -D and G part is just so easy , like , six or eight measures on each chord , But then comes the chord rolls , But I am good now , and ready to teach !
Now the rest of the story is on my once a month jam I been going to for ten years , there's a mandolin player that always played that tune and no one including me ever did it right for him , I never realized how aggravating it was to try playing a lead tune when the rhythm players are messing it up , So what goes around comes back around, I didn't intentionally not learn it's just like only a once a month thing so it's late when your done jamming , you go home , go to bed , and out of site out of mind and the whole thing just keeps repeating , Sad !
Just a guitar rhythm for John's lesson Over the Waves
, It's not perfect but you get the idea ? The E chord is supposed to be a E7 but I like the [Em] better !

Good job. It's got a weird progression. Do you think the guitar guys at the jam will catch on? You might have to play it for the mando guy a few times before they can get it.
I play that tune all the time, but i never play it exactly right on fiddle or if I put my own guitar track on. I just can't get that B part right in my head on fiddle...I always end up sort of improvising or just making something up in that B part...lol...for some reason it just won't stick in my head.0 -
Cricket I plan on playing rhythm for the mandolin player and not playing the fiddle at least twice hopefully I can get the other guitars on board !0

Or you could also tell them to watch your youtube and practice with that, if they need to.0

Sounding mighty good to me, Steve. If none of your band mates can get it, then go solo.0
