Little River Band deserves to be recognized as one of the greatest and most talented bands in history, like Fleetwood Mac, etc, but for some reason they aren't. Any musician that appreciates talent knows how great they are. Their live performances blow me away. They are all consumate players/singers.
I've played around clubs in West Cork with Steve Housden, the lead guitarist for TLRB, who lives near Clonakilty. He's an excellent guitarist who uses a Strat most of the time; he's better than I'll ever be, and a great blues player. I've always liked that song.
Thank you so much! You absolutely make the best choices for chord voicings for this material. Wanted to play this for years but I couldn't get it to sound this full.
Good morning sir , i loved playing LRB songs.i hope you can make a video onsome of their greatest hits like " its a long way there # i hope you can make a tutorial on intro and lead or licks its a very nice song to play on.hope so sir .
Nice. If you ever want to do “it’s a long way there “ that would be awesome. That is one of my favorites. The lead in that song is one of my favorites because it is so tastefully done not too much not too little. Have a good weekend
That weird chord you don’t quite know but hear the vocal on the A, try a C13/G. This sounds like what you were searching for. I had the tab from a tab master from 20 years past. This is what he played.
Thank you, Dave. This is a tough tune to figure out by ear because, as you said, some of the signature notes might actually be carried by the vocals. This lesson clears the fog away. Much appreciated!
Great one Dave! You're starting to make me want to put my bass down once in a while grab one of my abandoned guitars out of their case:). Thx! I kind of wore out this out on an 8 Track tape, along with a Best of Bread 8 Track. LOL
really enjoy your vids, you came up in rotation when i was trying to learn "running on empty", thanks for that one by the way, been learning alot!!! grew up late 60's and 70's love these songs!!!
Very nicely done sir! Well explained will give it a try at some point, with tuning a full step down, which is where I do most of my stuff :). Not a Tenor voice here
I have been wanting to learn this song for years, you have demystified it. When you start talking about scales etc, I wondered whether you are talking about modes. Anyway great tutorial. LRB had a string of hits in the 70's, 80's and early 90's
I do not like to talk modes. Check out my video on why I don't like modes. I feel it clouds the communication. I don't need 7 names for a scale just because we are starting on a different note position. :P
@@DavesGuitarChannel Fair enough, I'm trying to increase my theory knowledge, and this has been somewhat of a murky area for me, and the concept of modes is something that I have been struggling with.
very cool I put up a play along of man on your mind last month..couldn't quite get the tone though..but was only using a little tiny no bigger than a Boombox Roland micro cube.. it's a hard one to figure out a lot of fretboard work
Dave, Johnny D here.. Could any chance I talk with you on Zoom for improvement in my playing. I'm from Weymouth. Class of 81. We've tryed to get connect but my Dad was going through complications. I could get on after 8:30pm Eastern. Hope to hear from you. Learned the Steley Dan goods. Your good! Thanks man Johnny D
Great. Was wondering if the b flat 9 variant played on the 1st fret is really a b flat min 9? I was playing with and it sounded the same as when attempting the standard b flat min 9... Im sure I could have read the fingering incorrectly though... thx
I don't hear a third, so I omit the major or minor however I assume the Db would be out considering the D natural in the Bb major world be a common tone in all three chords. GMaj7- Bb9-D
I know why this song is giving me trouble. Your chords for the intro are not needed. You are playing shapes and not playing strings you are pressing on
@@DavesGuitarChannel exactly my point. Your making chord shapes and not using all of the chord shape. Its not so much a complaint but its just making it tougher for me to follow. Im gonna keep trying to decipher it

Fell in love with this song when it was first released and FINALLY learning it from you. Thanks for sharing! 🎸🎶🎸
So much for the simple ol’ 1-4-5 progression. I salute you for figuring this one out. I’ll have to work on it.

Brilliant Dave - well done! Perfect voicings!😀
Truly a great song. Great atmosphere and interesting musically. Thank You sir.
Awesome insight! Always love your approach. Thanks Dave.
Dave thanks so much what a great way to start a Saturday night
I finally got around to learning this lesson of yours. Great song and lesson ! Thanks Dave !
Just learned “how much I feel”….typed in reminiscing” and Leo and behold, here we are again!
Thanks Dave…I got it now..love singing my favorite tune..and playing the rhythm guitar part..
Great Job, Dave. Thank you so much!!
Could you run through " Till there was you" Meet the Beatles
Thank you Dave, you were able to figure-out chords that most UA-cam instructors would have cheated on!
Great Lesson Dave!
"...doodle-di-doodle-di-doooo, "...yes !!

Man I’m so glad I found this video I sing this song and never thought of playing it on guitar so here we go…
Nice. If you ever want to do “it’s a long way there “ that would be awesome. That is one of my favorites. The lead in that song is one of my favorites because it is so tastefully done not too much not too little. Have a good weekend

A useful thing. It helps.

The music box! Love it
Excellente

I am going to work on this til I get it… thanks
First tutorial of yours I’ve watched. Legitimately excellent, simple, and very helpful.
Thank you!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for this!
A harmonically accurate tutorial. I can't sing it in this key and I'll have to lower it.
Thanks very much Dave, great voicings.
Dave ,te felicito tocas la guitarra muy bien. y enseñas muy bien. Saludos de Monterrey,Nuevo Leon. Mex. Like y me suscribo.
vientos
great version, love the chords!
I like it 🌞
Great song! Killer song writing!
Yeah these guys were great.
Easy to understand, I'm going to give this a lash, great song time to dust off the acoustic Takamine. Great post thanks.
Very nicely done sir! Well explained will give it a try at some point, with tuning a full step down, which is where I do most of my stuff :). Not a Tenor voice here
Danke dir vielmals Dave ! Nicht einfach aber grandios erklärt. Du bist natürlich Abonniert !!! Gruß aus Kassel !!
You are the man!

Thnx bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You are really good; but is there anyway you can put up some diagrams of the Chords? Thank you Sir...
Hi Dave can you make a video of Little River Band, Listen to Your Heart? This vid sounds amazing by the way.
cool change please...
Hmmmm. I think the beginning part works better near the first position rather than up the neck..... Thanks for the upload sir.
Whatever works for you. Obviously the more important thing is that you play the song and make people smile.
I need an easier version. I cant play the chords around the 12th fret

ur not even my friends but wish someday I found a frindship like urs. gr8 song by d way
Have you done( We Two ) ? I can’t find a tutorial on the song.
Who does it
Are you sure it’s not a D6 on the tag. Sounds great to me holding the open b string, but I haven’t listened to the song in a while. Nice video.
Dave, you must have hands of steel to play some of these chords on an acoustic as cleanly as you do.
Thinking the same thing. I cant even come close to making those chords around the 12th fret to sound out
Great. Was wondering if the b flat 9 variant played on the 1st fret is really a b flat min 9? I was playing with and it sounded the same as when attempting the standard b flat min 9... Im sure I could have read the fingering incorrectly though... thx
I don't hear a third, so I omit the major or minor however I assume the Db would be out considering the D natural in the Bb major world be a common tone in all three chords. GMaj7- Bb9-D
you could be right about the chorus
I know why this song is giving me trouble. Your chords for the intro are not needed. You are playing shapes and not playing strings you are pressing on
You are assuming I am pressing on them. I am only pressing down on the notes I am playing.
@@DavesGuitarChannel exactly my point. Your making chord shapes and not using all of the chord shape. Its not so much a complaint but its just making it tougher for me to follow. Im gonna keep trying to decipher it
THANKS, Stanley...all that needs to be said
