Hey there, friends! At long last & after many requests, here's my lesson teaching you THE WEIGHT by The Band (1968). As usual, I'll break everything down for you step by step, showing you beginner friendly ways to play each part of the song (including the walk-down riff, intro riff, and even the C#m chord) while also going in-depth with some more advanced instruction. This has long been one of my all-time favorite songs, and I'm excited to show you how to play it! Let's get after it.

Love this song and love how you teach it! Well done David!
Thanks so much and Happy New Year!
finally a good lesson about this wonderful song! I understood the strumming patterns, after many years...!
Thank you much for sharing with us David~~!~~ The way you explain it is very easy to understand. I love it when you explain, it's like a "D" shape moved up one or "A minor moved up three frets., etc. You are a great teacher. You DA man~~thanks~~
Found you because I have always loved this song. Will follow your music lessons. Thanks!
Great song by great teacher David. Thank you.
Amazing teacher fills in all the blanks and subtleties.
Great detail David, especially through the chorus!
First time I have seen your videos..your a excellent instructor..
Awesome song and lesson!
You have the most wonderful strumming technique. Best way to think of the turn around or walk down in the chorus is I to V to vi (minor) to V to IV.
nice work
really great instruction
usually would never watch 31 minute video on song i already know but this very instructive, good job!
Hey David Some cast members of supernatural cover this song and since then I've fallen in love with it. Thank you for making this awesome lesson. ♡ You habe such a pleasant way to describe things and that maks it enjoiable to watch your videos. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪🎸🎶🎵💞 (sorry for my awful English, I hope you can understand the message)
Nice.
I Love Easy Rider and this song.
NIce! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU for the instruction on the INTRO. AUGH! That broke ma brain for YEARS, Man! Does the sheet music you offer also come with standard notation? Just a nice to have for a reader such as me. I’m still gonna pick up your sheet music for this and some other tunes you offer, regardless. Once again….thanks, David. (P.S. thanks also for singing and playing…I struggle, STILL)
Great lesson! Ever consider Willin' by Little Feat? Enjoy your style, thanks!
Intro is A major pentatonic scale. Position 3 and 2
Think you are doing a great job at taeching mate and would love it if you could help me work out an accurate way of playing 'Over the Hill' by John Martyn. Having a bit of a mare workin it out. Also loved this and your little feat one 'Willin' . Great stuff
Can do a moe bandy song (to old to die young)?
I love this song but I can't play I tried💔
