South City Midnight Lady
Been playing for a couple of years and have been looking for a new song to play.
I bought tickets to see the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald at the Minnesota State Fair this August so I started listening to some old Doobie Brothers tunes when it hit me That South City Midnight Lady is a fantastic acoustic guitar song that might be in reach for my limited skills. I’ve watched a few YouTube video lessons but many seem to go over much of the material too quickly for me to get. Any suggestions on a video that goes over the material slowly and detailed. I’m just on fire to learn this song and it’s inspiring when I find a song like that. Any suggestions appreciated. John

How about the video by our own ToneDr, Dale Adams?

I second that!
I learned the song from Dale's video years ago and it sounds great. One of my all time favorite Doobie tunes and I love to play it. The only downside is to retune to open G, but I've been playing a lot more alternate tunings lately.

Doobies’ lead guitarist. Great player. I remember he always used to play with headphones on.

Thanks for the information I’ll do a little research about him. Quite the name.

Jeff Skunk Baxter goes from a professional musician that’s worked with many prestigious musicians and being a founding member of Steely Dan to being credited with bringing Michael McDonald to the Doobie Brothers. Then becomes a self taught defense consultant who is sought after by the US military and big name defense contractors.
This is one intelligent, talented man.

I believe Skunk Baxter still has his hand in music to some extent.
I last saw him at one of these shows sitting in with Nils Lofgren in the D.C. area, can't believe it has been almost 15 years. http://www.nilslofgren.com/DVDLive06.html I'm actually in the video for about a millisecond. Very well spoken, and his playing is so tasteful.

Once you get tuned to a G chord, It's really pretty easy. One of the first open chord songs I ever learned. Maybe 1974
