You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
by Bob Dylan • Lesson #26 • Jul 17, 2016
Editor’s Notes
Here’s a guitar lesson showing you how to play You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go by Bob Dylan. This is a great song from the album Blood on the Tracks, one of my absolute favorites. As I note in the lesson, this is likely not how Bob Dylan plays the song – it’s unique arrangement I pieced together myself (in standard tuning) – so take it for what it’s worth. This lesson includes chords, tabs, and strumming pattern – with a nice focus on how to emphasize the bass note of each chord as part of the strumming pattern. Best of luck with it!
