Too Much Fun was the
standout third single from Daryle Singletary’s 1995 self-titled debut
album. The song was a major success in the country music scene, peaking
at #4 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
Written
by Curtis Wright and T.J. Knight, the track is a quintessential 90s
"neotraditionalist" anthem, celebrating a rowdy night out with
Singletary’s rich, baritone delivery. The song helped establish
Singletary as a torchbearer for traditional country music during a
decade that was leaning increasingly toward pop-country. While there
aren't many famous studio covers, it remains a beloved "bar band"
standard across the American South.
Trivia fans note that the music
video features a high-energy performance that perfectly captures the
"honky-tonk" spirit of the era, solidifying Singletary’s reputation as a
singer who stayed true to his hardcore country roots.
Chords And Strumming
This one has the four chords G, C, D, and an A played in standard tuning and with a steady down up down up rhythm pattern. Or you can play a double down stroke pattern. There is lead work required in this one.
Temptation is a powerful, faith-driven single by the Canadian artist Dax, released on January 30, 2026. While it appears as a standalone single, it follows his 2024 album From a Man’s Perspective
and continues his successful exploration of the "Country-Rap" genre.
Although it is a relatively new release and specific peak chart
positions are still settling, Dax's previous works have frequently hit
the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Digital Song Sales charts, and "Temptation" immediately trended globally on TikTok and YouTube.
The
track focuses on "spiritual warfare" and the internal battle between
desire and discipline, a theme Dax describes as a lifelong war rather
than a single breaking point. A notable piece of trivia is that the
song’s music video, directed by longtime collaborator Logan Meis,
features symbolic imagery of "traps" representing ego and lust.
Additionally, Dax has shared that his sobriety—specifically his decision
to stop drinking—greatly influenced the song's message of self-control.
Chords And Strumming
Play in standard tuning with the chords Em, C, Am, G and an A riffs all through the song. If you we just playing rhythm you would play a down down down up down up for the most part.
I Feel A Sin Coming On is a fast paced picking number from Jason's 2004 album entitled Sins, Lies And Angels.

have to fill in some picking here if you're playing this one solo and I
give you a few ideas to try in the full tutorial lesson.

Carolina When I Die
is a heartfelt Southern anthem written and recorded by Patrick Davis, celebrating the deep connection many people feel to their home state. Released in 2015 on the album Heartland, the song blends modern country with Americana influences, featuring warm acoustic instrumentation and sincere storytelling.
Rather than focusing on loss, the lyrics express a lifelong love for the Carolinas and the wish to be remembered there after death. Davis's authentic vocal delivery and vivid imagery have made the song especially popular throughout the Carolinas, where it has become an unofficial regional favorite.
Today, Carolina When I Die stands as one of Patrick Davis's best-known recordings and a touching tribute to Southern pride, family, and the place we call home.
Chords And Strumming
I use a capo on the 5th fret to keep this in the original key. It's played root down up down up down up and repeat rhythm pattern in standard tuning. Some picking in this one as you move through the chords C, F, G6, Am and G.
Take Me Home is a soulful, breakout anthem by Texas singer-songwriter Tanner Usrey, featured on his 2023 debut full-length album, Crossing Lines.
Originally released as a single in August 2022, the track quickly became his fastest-growing release, amassing millions of streams and helping him surpass one million monthly listeners on Spotify. While it didn't dominate the mainstream Billboard Hot 100, it became a staple on Texas Country and Americana charts.
The song's emotional depth is highlighted by its production from Beau Bedford and mixing by the legendary Dave Cobb. A touching piece of trivia: the official lyric video was created using photos and videos submitted by Usrey's own fans, turning the song into a shared tribute to the personal meaning of "home."
Chords And Strumming
This one starts with a root down root up down up rhythm pattern, but when the band kicks in the pattern becomes more choppy and a few down strokes in places. Some lead and some riffs in this one with the chords G, D, C, D/Gb, Em and a G6 needed for chords and played in standard tuning.
