Here's a video of a cover of this song where you can clearly see his chording hand. I'm glad to see him make a "G" with his pinky finger on first string 3rd fret. This "G" shape makes the change to "C" faster.

Never heard of this guy but he's got soul:

If you have an adjustable bridge on your guitar, try setting it a little lower. If you get strings buzzing against the frets, put it back like it was.

Thanks to cam for posting this most interesting article.
I plan to pass it on to musicians in my area,

He's tuned down to "D" tuning - two frets worth or half steps.
When he plays a "D" shape the guitar plays a "C". Notice how crappy his guitar sounds when he plays a "E" shape.
So he is singing in the key of C. It's decision time.
Chance the key of the song to use Rhett's chord shapes and sing in that higher pitch - or, use a capo to change the guitar pitch to sing in that same key.

Thanks, Zurf but I'm too old to buy more equipment because I'll probably wear out before the equipment does.

My wife suggested this retread arrangement of "Lover Lover" by Jerrod Niemann.

Only two chords, G and C. I plan to try to use my H.C. Helicon harmonizer pedal on the "Love lover" part (chorus). Hope I can get a good bass voice effect.
Wish I had a looper  for the chorus. That would be a huge help.

This song is red hot on the country charts:

My grandmother played guitar and sang when she was young. I begged her to play but she explained her fingers were old and sore. One fine day I got her to play one song - "Oh Those Golden Slippers" . I remember her arthritic fingers making a "D"chord. She sounded so fine to me.

Been playing a single for the last 20 years. I like a wide variety of material for varying audiences. Gotta have love songs for the ladies, naughty songs for just guys and drunks, kids songs, blues, rock and country songs and novelty songs to grab 'em when their attention flags.
I managed to cram 400+ tunes in one book but I try not to use my book unless I get requests or need an obscure song.
I learned to get away from backing tracks (they limit spontaneity) and prefer to not use my P.A. system of harmonizer pedal. Just voice and guitar are best but when your crowd is drinking or more than 20 you need amplification.
BGD, I will e-mail you my set list if you like.

I'll never forget the wife with one leg who competed on "Dancing With The Stars".
She could do the two step but it took her twice as long.
