How to Play "Go Home Girl" by Arthur Alexander on guitar

Man playing acoustic guitar in a cozy room filled with books.

Who's heard of Arthur Alexander? He wrote and recorded some great songs but, ironically, it was other artists who made hits with their cover songs of his work. This is "Go Home Girl" - very similar to his other classic, "You'd Better Move On". Play a simple version in D with a touch of Ry Cooder's style on the "Bop 'Til You Drop" album.

Although mainly demonstrational, this video shows you how to play "Go Home Girl" on guitar. This video is intended for advanced players who learn easily by watching or listening.
