    Such a great song. The entirety of White Ladder was the soundtrack of my life in 1999, splitting up with a girlfriend after a long relationship and moving to a different county and being alone. I played White Ladder in the car, in the house constantly and I still play it now. Thanks for the music and all of these little lessons you are giving.

      It's mad how easy music and specifically albums or songs can do that. They're like a time travel device

    Thanks man.. really appreciate you doing this, as it nice to see people play from the heart and soul...I use to think that just because I didn't know my music theory as much as I just love to play I was not gonna be able to make great Music.. but then after years of being inspired from artist like you . You made be understand that aslong as you can play from the soul and it feels/ sounds good what you play then the rest is secondary. It's being able to hear and feel the music means so much more. 😎✌🏼

    • @pmcgrorty
      @pmcgrorty 4 роки тому

      That's what i was looking for.
      I play C Em Am G in a strum that goes D UUU D. Would like to see David doing this on guitar only.

    • @visitur4914
      @visitur4914 4 роки тому +2

      I play C Em/B Am G/B for the verses, and F F C G F F for the choruses. That C, B, A, B pattern on the root is very distinctive, so I think it's important to accent it if your strum/pick skills are up to it. I played this song hundreds of times in my younger days, and no one ever complained about it. Just play along to the original recording, and you'll have it in no time.

    • @visitur4914
      @visitur4914 4 роки тому +2

      If you wish to be more accurate than my version, you could scan down to "American Composer's" comment. Just take his chords and move them all down a half-step (to the key of C). I'll probably be giving that Sus and those other funky chords a try some time. But I can vouch for my version as effective, if not entirely accurate: I was understating things when I said "no one ever complained!" ;)

    • @visitur4914
      @visitur4914 4 роки тому +1

      Last comment: whether you try it my way or with the extended chords, I really think the bass notes are super important, so try to get them to follow that C, B, A, B pattern if you can.

    • @AnAmericanComposer
      @AnAmericanComposer 3 роки тому

      @@visitur4914 Thanks for the shout out! For a pretty faithful reproduction of the song on guitar, use capo 1 and play these chords:
      C(9): x32030
      Em7: 022030 (you could do 020000, but the other one is a better voicing)
      Am11: x02530 (if that's too hard, you can play regular Am7 x02010 or A7sus x02040 instead)
      Em7
      F: 133211
      C: x032010
      Gsus: 3x0013
      Have fun!

    Can anyone tell me the notes he's playing on the right hand? I can see both chords seem to have an F, and it looks like they are F, C, Eb and F, Db, Eb. Is that right? I'm struggling to tell from the video. He's saying Db, F, Bb, Ab, but that just seems to be the notes in the left hand?

    Love the way you play great sounding chords, but don't know what they are called, and in fact, don't even care.
    Exactly how I play guitar.
    If it sounds great to me, and i can play it, I don't give a sh*t what the chord is called, I can transcribe it to TAB if I need to write it down.
