How to learn acoustic guitar songs on the internet

Guitar Mojo Tip: learning songs - some people have asked me how do I get the songs to sound more like the original artists? Some people fake it with the wrong chords or a home made version they learned from a friend or many of the so-so YouTube version.

Here's my tip - look at 3-4 YouTube versions and see which ones are the closest but ... the best way is to go to the original artists and break down what they are doing - what tuning - what voicing - what's the little signature notes or accents that make the song. 

I usually spend 1/2 to 1 hour on a song - chart it out - double check it with the original artists or the best version and then you have it. If you take the time to practice it will pay off. Enjoy!
