10. There's A Tear In My Beer - Learn To Play On Guitar
There's A Tear In My Beer was written by Hank Williams but there is no indication he ever recorded the song because his producer at the time, Fred Rose, didn't think it was a good idea to combine alcohol into a song.
So Hank gave his demo of the song to Big Bill Lister, who often opened for Hank and he recorded the song in 1952. Years later he passed the demo to Hank Williams Jr who then recorded his version with Hank Sr in 1989.
The sound track of Hank Sr singing and this song came from that demo and video from a Kate Smith show in the early 1950's is from the song Hey Good Lookin. By changing the mouth of Hank Sr in the video with an actor, they managed to get it to appear like Hank Sr was singing this song on stage.
Chords And Strumming
The song is in C# so I'm playing a capo 1st with the chords C, G, G7, C7, F, D, D7 and a C#. Play a root down up root up down up rhythm pattern and there is no lead, but instead a few riffs with a steel guitar which can be captured with the acoustic.
