    In this video I am explaining how Jimi Hendrix and John Mayer play chords on the basis of a song. A beautiful way of making chords sound super awesome, and to 'spice em up a bit!

    You can tell just by the title of the video that its going to be awesome. Plus Paul Davids always delivers. Im happy.

      Oh Paul delivers it's a shame, his talent & character are tainted by his penchant for underage gals

    • @scottallen6478

      He always delivers, not always with the consent of underage gals 🤐

    the greatest video on youtube. sitting in the sun in the garden with the tele through 60s marshall amp sim on logic and learning this amazing song by the coolest most chilled out guitarist on youtube. feels like heaven.

    I love this tutorial, for good reasons: you don't spend an eternity describing every single detail which would make the video too long, but you explain enough for me, not experienced in guitar, to understand. I've looked for tutorials of this song, but it's always either way too long or too short and rushed. This is just the right amount of explaining. Thank you for this!

  • @DamonNicholls
    @DamonNicholls 5 років тому +6

    Paul This is wonderful. It doesn’t get much cooler than these licks. I’ve been wanting to nail this song ever since I began playing guitar. This is hugely helpful.

  • @BrookGarretson
    @BrookGarretson 5 років тому +5

    I took Santanas and Morellos Masterclass. This makes more sense how to play the neck then anything they showed in the classes. Awesome stuff.

  • @AGShoomno
    @AGShoomno 6 років тому +5

    Thank you!
    Clear explanations and great samples which are clearly observable - fantastic!
    I've been trying to figure this technique for ages. Well, an hour later and my wait is finally over. I'll post a video once I've polished it up a bit :)

  • @iamtheshaker
    @iamtheshaker 6 років тому +311

    Do you think you could do a video describing why the C# and the G fit even when playing in A, and how to incorporate "out of key chords" into songwriting?

    • @erichendrix1602
      @erichendrix1602 6 років тому +31

      It’s called modal interchange; there are some videos on it out there on UA-cam. If you have some prior music theory knowledge I would suggest this video: ua-cam.com/video/1dRA28cdt5c/v-deo.html
      If not, I would suggest the link I’m going to put in the next comment. It would definitely be cool to see him do a video on this though!

    • @iamtheshaker
      @iamtheshaker 6 років тому +4

      Thanks for the input! I forgot that it was called modal interchange, and I actually had that video already favorited! Interestingly enough, one of the examples is a bVII.
      I definitely would like to hear Paul's thoughts though, because when JM does it (or JH) it doesn't sound jazzy, and the only theoretical examples tend towards jazz

    • @TheSnowysealstudios
      @TheSnowysealstudios 5 років тому +13

      G is a flat 7 and C# is a major 3rd so it all works in the key of A. tensions are a great way to spice up your playing, like 9, 11’s, and 13’s, if that’s what you mean by “Out of key chords”

  • @Jo3sX
    @Jo3sX 2 роки тому +4

    Wow. Learning this was a massive light bulb moment for me. I've always had a decent grasp on chords and basic scales, but this is what linked then together for me.
    I watched this video along with a lot of your other videos but didn't really understand a lot of the concepts, so I ended up after a few recommendations watching Stichmethod's various playlists which are great for understanding how scales link to chords and can be used musically and now I actually understand what's going on in most of your videos. Incredible work Paul.

  • @light487
    @light487 5 років тому +5

    I love that you break it all up into discreet sections that I can practice individually and either use to play the entire thing or use as tools to develop my own music.

    Aún recuerdo cuando comencé a aprender los acordes.
    Me guiaba por el sonido y hacía acordes que para mí eran nuevos y sonaban hermosos, incluso les mostraba a mis amigos y como éramos principiantes nos emocionábamos.
    Poco dsps conozco más guitarristas y me doy cuenta que lo que yo creí descubrir YA ESTABA DESCUBIERTO.
