In today’s lesson I’ll teach you how to play Wondering Why, the 2023 hit from Red Clay Strays. This song evokes the blues-rock of Chris Stapleton, with a hint of Southern flavoring you might hear in Lynyrd Skynyrd or even Elvis. Musically, the song uses an 8-chord bluesy progression for the verse and chorus sections. The band builds this up throughout, ensuring things never get too stale or predictable. I’ll walk you through it all: the chords, the rhythm & strumming, and show plenty of tips of mixing things up with the rhythmic dynamics. Let’s get into it!
