🎸What do you think of Hugh Laurie's guitar playing? His comedy even? Share your thoughts about Hugh below!

[@CliffieVanR]

I seem to remember an episode of House where he talks about the 'innovative two-handed tapping technique of Eddie Van Halen', or something like that.

A man of many great talants

[@Comalv]

Amazing series. I would also like one video, as a counterbalance, where you analyze someone who's actually a virtuoso just to see your reaction. Something like Playing God (Unplugged) by Tim Henson

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

Thanks! Interesting idea, Tim Henson kicks ass, there's literally months of practice just in the intro to G.O.A.T. - I don't know how useful I'd be at at analysing that level of complexity but I'll keep it in mind for future videos, might be a good laugh just to try.

7:56 This is a modulation to the V key (D maj). The Em and A chords are the ii and V of V.
Check out "Save Me" by Queen. It has exactly the same modulation (between G maj and D maj) when it goes from the verse to the chorus.

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

Big Queen fan here, love that song! Just gave it a quick analysis and yes you're right, the G is the root chord of the first verse (and pre chorus) and that G then becomes the IV chord of D Major just before the chorus starts.

[@MyRackley]

@@CarringtonGuitarAcademy Check out also "Take the 'A' Train" (Ellington) and "The Girl from Ipanema" (Jobim). Their 'A' sections are virtually identical, albeit in different keys. The chord in bars 3 and 4 looks like a "ii" chord, but actually it's the V of V, leading in each case to a ii-V-I in the home key. 😎

I have heard of him. I do know and I do care. Thanks for the upload. Subbed.

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

Thanks! Much appreciated 🙏

4.54 You can go a step further free up your ring finger and play an A7 under that G chord without disrupting the G fingering, it's proper awesome and country.

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

Love a good 7th chord!
