A YouTube play-along guitar video by Lauren Bateman for the Marshall Tucker Band song “Can’t You See.” The video provides a slow first run with a simple down-down-up strumming pattern, followed by a faster take with spiced-up/intermediate strumming; lyrics are sung throughout and viewers are directed to laurenbateman.com for chord charts, full lessons, and donations. The clip emphasizes timing and practice rather than detailed instruction.

Hey guys, welcome back to my Play along series here. This is the play along for Marshall Tucker bands. Can't you see? And if you don't have the chord chart yet, you can always go to my website, laurenbateman.com to download that. If you're looking for the lesson video, there's a link below in the description that you can go and find the actual lesson video on how to to play the song. This one is actually just a play along that we're gonna do so that you can practice playing from the beginning through the end. So the first time through, I'm gonna go fairly slow and I'll use a very simple strumming pattern. And the next time through I'll go through a little bit faster. And I might spice it up just for my own entertainment. But we're gonna start at the intro and the strumming pattern we'll use. Why don't we just do down, down, up. That'll be a nice down, down, up twice per each chord. So let's start with that intro. So we got 1, 2, 3, 4.

It's harder to actually play slow than it is to play fast. But that's what we're going to do on this next one. We're going to go a little Bit faster and I'm going to spice up the strumming a little bit. You don't have to spice it up at all. You can keep with the simple strumming pattern and play along with me and play over what, what I'm doing. But the most important part is the timing. So we got 1, 2, 3. Intro.
