Thanks Marty! I've been playing guitar since 1996 yet I learn something new everyday with your lessons.

    Just a thought. Why not elevate the camera a bit and have a more angled view down onto the fretboard so you can see the fingering a bit more clearly? Sometimes, a dead-on view misses where exactly your fingertips are, especially when they're bunched up on barre chords. Or, when you're adding embellishments. Great videos, nonetheless. Just an added embellishment, video-wise :)

  • @priscillafazio

    I´d been struggling so much with that song. I tried tuning the whole thing 1/2 step down, but it never sounded quite right. Your fix with the E string made it sound impecable. Thank you so much, Marty. You´ve got a fan here in Brazil.

  • @TimACroninMusic
    @TimACroninMusic 4 роки тому +14

    So, tuning your E string down 1/2 step will get you most of the way there. It'll still sound pretty right-on. BUT, if you wanna 100% nail it, you also have to tune your D string down to a B. Of course, that changes the chord formations and voicings a bit.

    the last cord in the song before playing E is basically the chord he showed us a step down in the chorus. So pinky finger and ring finger on the 4th frets of A and D and your index finger on the second fret of the G, then end with E

    I came along
    I wrote a song for you
    And all the things you do
    And it was called Yellow
    So then I took my turn
    Oh, what a thing to have done
    And it was all yellow
    Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
    Turn into something beautiful
    And you know, you know I love you so
    You know I love you so
    I swam across
    I jumped across for you
    Oh, what a thing to do
    'Cause you were all yellow
    I drew a line
    I drew a line for you
    Oh, what a thing to do
    And it was all yellow
    And your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
    Turn into something beautiful
    And you know, for you, I'd bleed myself dry
    For you, I'd bleed myself dry
    It's true
    Look how they shine for you
    Look how they shine for you
    Look how they shine for
    Look how they shine for you
    Look how they shine for you
    Look how they shine
    Look at the stars
    Look how they shine for you
    And all the things that you do
