7. Standing In My Way - Learn To Play On Guitar
Standing In My Way is a track from Charley Pride's 2017 album Music In My Heart.
I don't know about you but I find it odd that they would build a music video around this song, but not release it as a single.
I guess the benefits of getting a video play on video channels to promote the album is greater then trying to get airplay on country radio stations for an artist at the time who was in his late 70's. Maybe that's it.
Play this one with drop D tuning and use a down down up down up down up and repeat rhythm pattern. A bit of lead in this one as you play the chords D, G and A7.
Chords And Strumming
