Guitar lesson “Teach Your Children” by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Hey there little ones, yourguitarsage. Today, we’re going to learn how to play “Teach your Children” By Crossby, Stills, Nash and Young. This is a really simple tune and I’m just going to jump into it right away. I won’t play the whole tune of course but I’ll play each part, verse, chorus and that sort of thing. I’m looking at my chart here on my strings so I’ll be referring to that. Any of the techniques and what have here that we’re talking about today in this video if you’re real newbie and you don’t get some of the concepts, how to hold the chords, how to strum and things like that, check out yourguitarsage.com, and I’ve got a great instructional E-Book there that will help you with all this stuff and they all support these videos that I do and two, I’ll show you hold to get a hold of the chart. So instead of always having to write down these chords here, we will have the chart. So, Here we go, I’m going to jump into it right away and then we’ll talk about that all the bits and pieces. Here we go. [Demonstration] So this is the intro. [Demonstration] This is the verse. [Demonstration] And then the verse plays that four times, that basic part through. We’ll talk about the chord structure here in just a second and I just want you to hear it too. So the chorus is going to— [Demonstration] So, really that is the entire tune. Let’s talk about the chords. Really it just does this D, G, D, A thing the whole time except here in the chords we do, D, G, D, Bm and then a split measure of G and A. So here we go, let’s talk about that. First off, the chords you’re going to need for this tune are D, G, A and Bm and that’s it unfortunately there is a bar chord in this. So the intro and the verse are going to do this motif. Motif is a repeated musical idea and so here is the motif that you will be doing before you teach your children.

[Demonstration] That sort of thing, so D, four measure, G, four measure, D, four measure, A, four measure, and that will be the intro. Here’s the verse, same thing, D, four measure, G, D, A. The chorus is D, G, D, a measure of Dm, and then a G and A. Alright, so again, it’s a measure of D, measure of G, measure of D, measure of Bm and then a split measure of G, A. [Demonstration] And it doesn’t hang on that D, go straight back into the turnaround or that motif that we’re talking about which is D, G, D, A. Now, the rhythm structure on this is going to be like.
