👉 Get my practice notes, play-along video tracks, and other resources for this song @ https://songnotes.net/lessons/585/ ***** In today's lesson I'll teach you how to play John Prine's classic ALL THE BEST. Typical of His Prineness, he pulls this one off with just three chords — but somehow manages to create an arrangement that's catchy, fun to play, and never gets boring. In my lesson I'll walk you through the fingerstyle-specific chord voicings, introduce the Travs-picking fingerstyle technique he uses, and show a few suggested exercises to learn the main riff. From there, you'll be set... learning the intro and verse sections will feel like you're riding a bike down hill.
