Banjo Butch - Free videos teach you to play praise music on guitar and banjo

On my guitar page  I just now uploaded a video of how I attempt to play Darin Aldridge's guitar arrangement of 'The Last Thing on His Mind' by Dennis Duff.  (Videos are in alphabetical order).   I also added there a video in which I very slowly play the introduction to the song and another video in which I very slowly play a couple of other parts of the song.  It turned out to be pretty difficult (for me) to quickly learn to play this song at normal speed using a flat pick like Darin does, since I am not really a bluegrass guitar picker (but you don't have to be a bluegrass picker to master it).  So on the full speed video I wore my banjo picks and played it 3-finger style.  I am still learning to play the song correctly even that way, but hopefully these videos can help you also learn to play it.  If some parts of it seem to difficult for your current level of ability, just try to simplify what you are doing.  It is mainly a vocalist's song, so the guitar doesn't have to do a lot of complicated stuff to make it a great song.  Often "simpler" sounds "better" anyway.


As a reminder, I also put the words and chords to this song down at the bottom in my music and tab section (which is in alphabetical order).




Merry Christmas!
