[B] Hey, so today we're going to take a look at Teacher Children, a song that falls in the
category of things I call campfire songs.
Now what I mean by campfire song is you can play it lots of different ways.
It can be really simple, it can be medium complex, or it can get really fancy if you
have some mandolins [G] and violins and bass players and all that kind of stuff playing along with you.
So a lot of songs we like to look at like this where it's not too important that you
play it [D] exactly one way.
So all you have to do to learn Teacher Children is be able to play some simple chords, D,
G, A, and B minor, we'll talk about that a little bit more, [Bm] and [D] then keep a country strum going.
So we're going to talk a little bit more about the [N] country strum in some of this stuff.
So today we're going to look at keeping a country strum going, [C] learn a little bit about
Teacher [Bm] Children [G] written by of course Graham Nash, [F#] played on the Crossy Stills Nash & Young
album Deja Vu in 1970, and talk a little bit about the backbeat that happens.
Actually we'll talk about that right now [D] because
[G] [D] [A]
[Bm] There we [D] go, the five chords we need for Teacher Children.
[G] [D]
[A] [D]
So the strumming technique that we're going to be using in Teacher Children can again
be done with a pick or with your fingers.
Now if we're using the finger style, or the finger strumming technique, we're using your
thumb to hit the bass notes and your fingers to strum down, down with the middle fingers
and up with the index finger.
So I said this is a song that beginners [G#] can play.
Again that's with the
as long as you can play bar chords.
We do need to play a B minor in here, but we can play the B minor as a modified B minor
if we have [Em] to.
So we can dress up Teacher Children a little bit.
There's actually a bunch of different things we can do.
Here's a simple one.
The strum doesn't have to be as [G#]
exact as [F#] what we were just doing there.
It doesn't have to always be [D] this.
I could vary it a little bit by having more [G] strokes in there.
I could make the first [D] half bass, down, up, and the second half bass, up, down, up.
That would sound like this.
[G]
Well I hope you enjoyed this lesson on Teacher Children.
A couple quick things to remember.
When you're changing chords and strumming, [A] strumming can't ever stop.
You keep this hand going, you never let it wait for your left hand like this.
[G]
So [Em] you have to do two things to make that work well.
