[Verse 1] - Begin with D: strum steadily with a down-up pattern. - Transition to F#m/C#: press the F#m chord with your thumb on the low E string (C# note). - Switch to G/B and play the G chord in the bass with a B. - Transition to A: Continue your fluid strumming. Key Notes: - Pay close attention to crisp, clean bar chords when playing F#m and Bm. - To create contrast with the bar chords, use open places for the G and A chords. - The verse emphasizes a soft, narrative tone. Match the lyrical sentiment with a gentle play. [Chorus] - Start on a D and strum down on every beat. - Keeping the rhythm steady and emphasizing the downbeats, switch to F#m, G, and A. - Bm: For a richer tone, use a bar chord. - Transition to D to E: maintain clarity in the chord changes. Strumming Pattern: - Use down-down-up-down-up for a more dynamic feel during the chorus. - Highlight the first beat of each measure to emphasize the rhythm. [Instrumental] - Follow the same chord progression as the intro: D and G. - Maintain the same strumming pattern to keep the flow of the song. [Verse 2] - Replicate verse one's chord progression. - Pay close attention to the fluidity of chord changes. - Keep the strum gentle and flowing to match the lyrical material. [Chorus] - Repeat the chorus chords, focusing on the strumming's dramatic shifts. - Highlight the change from Bm to D by a small amount. [Key Change to Eb] - Switch to Eb and play this on the sixth fret as a bar chord. - Use the bar chord on the third fret to transition to Gm. - Switch to Ab and Bb; for consistency, play these as bar chords. - Stick to the same strumming pattern, but change the key accordingly. [Outro] - Play the Eb, Gm, Ab, and Bb chords in the new key. - As the song comes to a finish, progressively reduce the strumming intensity. Common Mistakes: - Rushing the transitions: get into the habit of going slowly between chords. - Incorrect strumming patterns: practice with a metronome and maintain a steady rhythm. - Inconsistent bar chords: When playing bar chords, make sure every string rings clearly. Song Facts: In 1988 George Strait released "Baby Blue". Rich melodically and deeply felt, the song is a poignant lament about lost love.

One of the most well-known songs by the "King of Country," George Strait, "Baby Blue," is still a big smash in his prosperous career. He can convey powerful feelings with music and his silky voice, as the song shows.
