The Dance
Hi! I’m DJ Phillips and I’m here to teach you the song The Dance by Garth Brooks. In this lesson we'll be looking at how to replicate the artists playing on this tune by tackling it in bite size pieces then bringing it all back together at the end. I'll also show you an easy guitar part so that you can strum along to the whole song if you're just getting started. Ready to learn The Dance? Well grab your guitar and let’s get started!
Full Song Performance
We’ll be starting things off with a full performance of The Dance where you will be able to see and hear the multiple different guitar styles you will be learning in the tune. Keep a close eye on the text on the screen as it will indicate the guitar track currently being played.
Easy Guitar | Lesson
In this video we'll be breaking The Dance down into simple guitar chords and patterns that you can play, even if you're a beginner. Everything I'm going to show you here will work well with the accurate guitar parts so that you can play along with the full band. The first will be the easiest version then we'll jump into a second rendition that will add a few more pieces and bring you one step closer to the authentic guitar part. Once you feel comfortable with this easier version, I encourage you to try to tackle some of the more sophisticated techniques in the accurate guitar parts as this is a great way to improve your skills.
Easy Guitar | Practice Session
In this video we will be practicing the easy guitar for The Dance. Remember to take advantage of tab-sync to ensure you're hitting the proper notes and, if you find the tune is a bit too fast for you, utilize the speed feature to slow things down, get your timing right, and then work your way up to the proper tempo.
Easy Guitar | Playalong

Now it’s time to tackle The Dance's acoustic guitar. This is the version of the guitar part you will want to learn if you are playing the tune solo or in a band with only one guitar player.
Acoustic Guitar | Practice Session
In this video we will be practicing the acoustic guitar part for The Dance. Remember to take advantage of tab-sync to ensure you're hitting the proper notes and, if you find the tune is a bit too fast for you, utilize the speed feature to slow things down, get your timing right, and then work your way up to the proper tempo.
