I have ALWAYS!!!!! ALWAYS wanted really good high quality super accurate easy to follow lessons on Pavement songs. I do and can learn songs by myself but having a high quality teacher like yourself makes things so much easier, way more fun, and is a huge huge huge help. You provide everything I could ever want in a guitar lesson, especially when learning songs. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Many, many, many, many thanks for this I've been waiting over 25 years for this lesson. I'd resigned myself to the fact that Malkmus' mysterious intricacies would be lost in time like Stonehenge or the pyramids or something. Until this evening..... 👍👍👍😆
I've been a fan of Pavement and 'Cut Your Hair' for a long time but this video really made me realise how good the guitar parts are. I'd be very interested in a 'Gold Soundz' video!
I play in that C A D A B E all the time lately. The middle 4 strings are basically an open tuning, the high 4 are normal chord shapes and the low three give you super chunky major and minor triads. Heaps of Pavement songs use that particular tuning. I think one of their best tricks is Spiral playing in standard against that, it sorta humanizes Malkmus' parts...Crazy Horse's his Neil Young....Ernie's his Bert etc.
This was one of those "Oh shit, I gotta learn this right now" videos. Thanks for putting it out! Been wanting to learn some Pavement for a while but haven't seen many good resources.
Thanks for introducing me to this band. I've been listening to their stuff for hours now and I love it. Secret Knowledge Of Backroads is outstanding. I've got a new musical interest. Thanks again.
Great video! Sonic Youth used the same idea with tuning low strings to CGD. Thurston used CGDGCD a lot on their late albums and there are a lot of great melodic riffs on these records: Reena, Peace Attack, Rain On Tin and others.. Also, it is one of the easiest SY's tunings to achieve with standard set of strings, so, a great point if you are going to make a lesson on their song some day😉
Thank-you. Excellent info about Sonic Youth. I have been wanting to look at some SY on my channel, have been slightly put off by the need to change string gauges, set-up etc. Songs with the CGDGCD tuning might definitely be an easier place to start. I'll have a think about it and see if I can come up with an SY lesson later in the year.
Wow awesome tutorial so excited to learn this after my class today. Another awesome tune to learn from these guys would be silence kid, love that song and it has an awesome guitar part on it
Pavement! Though you chose my least favourite song of theirs haha. Mate, you're making really useful and entertaining vids - economical and on-point presentation, no stupid clickbait frills and enviable guitar playing, plus great music taste. If you do a song I know the original will be worth checking out. And I'd love to see Ann Don't Cry or Cream of Gold dissected.
I had the same thought. Pavements been my fav band for about 15 years and this is my least fav track. Still had to learn the song tho and a great lesson nonetheless
Thanks for the great lesson, Adrian! I would love to see some more Pavement lessons in the future, maybe you could consider doing "Range Life", "Gold Soundz" or "Here"?
Awesome lesson as always!! By the way, could you make a lesson on how to write songs on alternate tunings? Most of my favorite artists use them (Joni Mitchell, Bon Iver, Elliott Smith, Red House Painters, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth etc etc). But when I try to come up with something in a tuning other than standard it always sounds weird (and not in a good way). Could you give us some tips? That'd be much appreciated!
Here's a song by Pavement. I'm going to play a few parts. (Proceeds to do the dual guitar parts and then gets to the face melting part and remains without "rocker face"). Man, I love this channel and all of your videos. You're a great player, and you deconstruct songs slowly and build up to show the viewer how it's done. It's a great thing for those of us who are beginners. Can you PLEASE break down anything by the Replacements or Paul Westerberg?
thanks for doing this! Personally, I'd love to see you explain "Grounded" from Wowee Zowee or "Church on White" from Stephen Malkmus' first solo record (lovely solo/lead part in that one). Cheers!
I’ve been alternating between this tuning and regular tuning on my Jazzmaster for years using 10s with no issues. I would never have expected it but Jazzmasters seem to be pretty forgiving when it comes to changing between tunings.
Pavement is one of those bands I listen to for a month straight and then don’t listen to them again for like three years. And then I put them back in randomly and ask myself why I never listen to them.
Watching this took me down an early 90s US alternative rock rabbit hole and pleasant it was too, thanks! Any chance of an Eddie Kurdziel era Redd Kross (Phaseshifter and Show World albums) song? The band have a great back catalogue but I recall those two albums especially as having many choice picks.
Very interesting tuning, not a band that I ever appreciated, a former work colleague was and probably still is heavily into them. He tried to pique my interest, but I just never got it. Nevertheless a quality lesson, thanks for taking the time to cover the less appreciated bands, never stop. 👍 😎🎙🎸✅
@@SSRT_JubyDuby8742 Your effort to have this fun and nice exchange is a part of the passion of life you've given to me. I appreciate you and your being, thank YOU
Range Life by Pavement is a real masterclass in triad shapes, would be an excellent finale to the triad series!
That guitar solo is severely underrated due to how perfectly it compliments the song.

Everything that was magical about the early 90s in one song!

so glad you've gotten round to doing some pavement! one of my favourite bands ever, SM is a fantastically unique guitarist
I've been a fan of Pavement and 'Cut Your Hair' for a long time but this video really made me realise how good the guitar parts are. I'd be very interested in a 'Gold Soundz' video!
As a huge Pavement fan, thanks a lot to shed light on one of their best known songs.
Yes!!! The mighty fking PAVEMENT. Their guitar tones on Crooked Rain are some of the very greatest of all time.
Adrian, you’re an absolute hero x
You're the best, Adrian! Would love to see a "Gold Soundz" lesson -- lots of really great stuff going on in that one and another interesting tuning.
Saw this notification and I’m picking my guitar up immediately. What a tune. Thanks for another upload!
Same here bud! I’ll be jamming this with the band tonight!!!
Finally some Pavement! What a band they I are, I deem only you and Eric haugen worthy of teaching their songs. Cheers!
Eric and Adrian are my favorite YTers. I’m going to take lessons from Eric later in the year.
I love love love Pavement. Slanted is the first album of theirs I heard and they have been part of the soundtrack of my life for almost 30 years.

More pavement!!! You the man!
Great great great ! To see some pavement here!
Suggestions: The Hexx, Grounded, Stereo
God please ! I'm so thankful ! Do more of Pavement ! They don't have such good guitar lessons ! Maybe Built To Spill or Guided By Voices too!
Yes more Pavement!! Great lessons as always. Stereo or Range Life would be great to hear next.
Wow, this brought back a lot of 90s memories. Nice.
Thank you for taking the time and energy to demonstrate this tune...much appreciated! It was great, as usual! 👏🏻👍🏻🤙🏻
Thanks for introducing me to this band. I've been listening to their stuff for hours now and I love it. Secret Knowledge Of Backroads is outstanding. I've got a new musical interest. Thanks again.
Speaking of crazy tunings, any Sonic Youth Tutorials in the future?
Thank you this! One of my favorite albums.

Getting hella Sunday by Sonic Youth vibes from your fiddling around with the alternative tuning. Brilliant tutorial! Thanks!
That intro sounded so good. Well done.
Oh yes!! Love Cut Your Hair. Gonna get stuck into learning this. Melodic and raucous 👌
Adrian, you are the MAN
This song is so fun to play!
Great choice! I've always liked this song--there are many great Pavement songs
I honestly love you Adrian! Wish we had a band in an alternate universe. ✌️✌️
Excellent work. Thank you!
Great Song and Job! Takes me back.
This is fantastic!

love pavement, well done vid, thank you
Nice. Man you just keep on doing the tracks I wanna do, Love the channel.
Cool teacher. Love the lights..
really awesome... nice material! appreciate some pavement! hard to find stuff like this.
ungrateful pricks giving you shit over something so minor as getting a year wrong..... Thanks for what you do!!!
superb stuff
Wow, some Pavement! Taking on Malkmus and his wide array of tunings. Nice.
Great video as always, any chance of some mission of Burma on this channel I wonder?
more pavement please!! :)
Fantastic !
Ur a legend for this thank you
Superb. Malkmus is such an interesting player 😍
Thank you
A Harness Your Hopes lesson would be great. Loved this one
great tone man
Great! Would love to see „Elevate Me Later“ next…although there are so many great Pavement songs…
holy SHIT i'm happy about this
Shady Lane next or carrotrope:D
AWESOME THANK YOU
Rattled by the Rush, Grave Architecture, Half a Canyon, or anything else from
Wowee.

Back in the day you'd a seen a Buffalo Springfield on new pavement. Rock on! 🤘
Came here to add a lesson sugestion: Sugarcube by Yo La Tengo, I think it’s in open E but I’m not sure though
Thanks for the great lesson, Adrian! I would love to see some more Pavement lessons in the future, maybe you could consider doing "Range Life", "Gold Soundz" or "Here"?
Yes!

Great song choice this week! Alternate tuning is like taking the red pill 💊. Not sure I’m ready to go there yet.
Tune!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooooh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh oooh ooooh!
Steven Malkmus lives in my hometown i saw him DJing at a bar once holding a pbr digging through his records with his buttcrack fully out. legend
thanks for doing this! Personally, I'd love to see you explain "Grounded" from Wowee Zowee or "Church on White" from Stephen Malkmus' first solo record (lovely solo/lead part in that one). Cheers!
seconded for church on white i love that song
Agreed. "Gounded" would be nice to see covered...
Is it necessary to change standard-gauged strings on a Jazzmaster before playing in CGDABE?
I’ve been alternating between this tuning and regular tuning on my Jazzmaster for years using 10s with no issues. I would never have expected it but Jazzmasters seem to be pretty forgiving when it comes to changing between tunings.
Both parts sound fantastic, you've really captured the tune. Were you using the Marshall in the background into the Ox?
Pavement is one of those bands I listen to for a month straight and then don’t listen to them again for like three years. And then I put them back in randomly and ask myself why I never listen to them.
Thanks. I've been waiting ages for someone to do a pavement track. The website he mentions with tunings (and tab) is slay tracks I assume.
18:39 "Gain very low" as the gain knob is the to near max. :)
Well done. Thanks! Q: What gauge strings do you use for your C and G, with standard 46s mine rattle too much.
Parquet courts have a couple songs where Andrew savage uses that tuning such as stoned and starving or borrowed time
Watching this took me down an early 90s US alternative rock rabbit hole and pleasant it was too, thanks! Any chance of an Eddie Kurdziel era Redd Kross (Phaseshifter and Show World albums) song? The band have a great back catalogue but I recall those two albums especially as having many choice picks.
I keep hearing Bob Seger's 'Mainstreet' in this! Haha
Great lesson thanks! Any chance you can do a vid just on Sonic Youth tunings?
AWERSOME!
Yes please - more pavement! How about "The Hexx" ?
That alternate tuning part is lovely isn't it?
More Pavement ! :-)
That white guitar is gorgeous what model is it. Was just listening to this song too this video couldn't be better timed

Pavement is a very highly appreciated band! In my opinion as appreciated as my bloody valentine
@@camcam297 is that sincere or is it sarcasm? I am only motivated by curiosity.
@@SSRT_JubyDuby8742 Sincere, they're in my opinion this day and age they're one of the most liked indie rock bands of the 90s, top 3
@@camcam297 thankyou, it is a wonderful feeling being that passionate about any band.

🤩🤩👍👍👍 (it's message in a bottle by the way !)
More Pavement! I vote Silence Kid.
I’d love to see a good lesson on Time by Richard Hell
Can you ever do Paul Weller's The Changingman?
Did you have to up your string gauge for this? What gauge were you using?
If you get the chance, please check out Thrush Hermit. They’re an indie rock band from the mid 90’sand literally, guitar gods.
Oh yesum!!
Could you do The Passions- Bachelor Girl

Maybe some more Pavement? 👍

Sorry, but it’s seems you’ve just cut your hair…haha
As aways, high quality lessons! Thanks
the top 4 strings are tuned the same as my cello
