I just Googled:  CHRIS LEDOUX YELLOW STUD CHORDS

Several hits came up.

Here is the first one:  http://www.countrytabs.com/tablature/Ch … ord_23429/

JJJ - I found a video which might help with the licks.  Here is a live version and from time to time you can see the guitar player's fretting hand (like around 1:30).

Nice song.  I've never heard it before.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbOxzcqKOFI

As usual I won't be any help with the licks, but I think I can give you the chords, or at least a rough version to get you started.

It's in the key of D, but the the voicing sounds best to me if you capo on fret 2 and play it like this (if you want to play it without the capo, transpose everything +2):
Intro:  Am  Dm
Verse:  Am  Dm  Am  Dm
Bridge:  G  Cmaj7  E (add optional E7 here)  Am  G
Chorus (starting @1:05):  C  Cmaj7  A (or A7)  Dm  Dm7   F  E
Then another intro, verse, bridge and chorus (i.e., repeat everything above).
Then a solo:  Am - Dm - F - E (X2)
Then a bridge and finally two choruses back-to back (put a G in place of the E at the end of the first one).

Anyway, that's a start.  Hope it helps.

**EDIT:  After obsessing over this song for the past week, I edited the chords above to make them correct.  Credit to member JimiBemol (Patrick) for the help with the Cmaj7 in the bridge.

Thanks Dude!

I hear you DS.  That's probably what it is.  I hear the younger folks calling it "praise music", and to me it's more like a mantra or a chant, but like you say, if it works for them, fine.

Give me "Great is thy Faithfulness" (which is the best hymn ever written, IMO) any day of the week.  That song always raises chills.  I have already told my wife that I want that one at my funeral.

"All I have needed thy had hath provided . . ."

Yeah.  That's what I'm talkin' about.

Mucho congratulations on the purchase of the Martin.  My first "good" guitar was a Martin, and as Zurf accurately said, the sound is amazing.  Stick with it and enjoy the journey.

WHERE ARE THE PICS???  IT'S BEEN ALMOST A WEEK ALREADY! 

OK, so more like two days, but . . . just sayin'.

You could practice the doo-wop progression (I-vi-IV-V) in the key of D.

Play this first so that you know what to listen for:  G - Em - C - D.

Then practice the same thing over and over in D:  D - Bm - G - A.  This will give you the Bm as the most complex chord without the bad boy F.  Just what you are looking for.

Another thing you can do is just alternate between the open chord shapes that you know and the Bm:  A - Bm - C - Bm - D - Bm - E - Bm - G - Bm.  It won't sound pretty, but this drill will help you develop the muscle memory needed to nail the Bm from every open chord.

Forewarned is forearmed:  It might take you a couple of YEARS to be able to hit it consistently, so be patient.  After two years of working on it, I can only hit the Bm about 60% of the time.  That's up from zero, so I'm encouraged.  Hopefully you will do better.

EDIT:  All of the advice in the above posts about playing songs with the desired chords is great, but you also need to practice.  There is a difference between practicing and playing.  Practice (as I describe) a lot, and then break up the practice time by playing because practice is boring.  Necessary, but boring.

Well in that regard, I think you can distill it down to the point where you can say that just about any major "thing" that happens is going to benefit a relative few a great deal, but the general population can still get a lot of benefit as well.  Example:  Facebook (and most other major companies) made a few people very rich, but many other people enjoy the product.  (In the case of Facebook, myself excluded.)

Back to the Revolutionary and Civil wars, while it's true that maybe relatively few held the genuine interests which started them, I think we can all agree that after they were over, the general population benefitted from the result.

That's the point I'm trying to make.  Maybe another way to say it is, even if a war is started for "the private interests of a very few", it doesn't mean that the good results (assuming there are good results) won't benefit the population as a whole.  And if it does, then it could be argued that the population's interests are served as well.
