This is great thanks man- Shannon was an incredible talent and it's been hard trying to find a lot of his music for tutorials so really thanks for this!
You play it great, for real, but your tutoring is a little vague or complicating. Just figure out how to explain it better. I've shown it to a free other people they agreed. No hate and not trying to be or pretend I k ow better, bc I dont. But it was aityle confusing for some i noticed. But thank your inspiration.l !!
I've been trying to play this song for years. I don't think I ever play the sweet lick the same way twice. I figured I would have to put the song into some sort of program that is capable of slowing it down with an added bonus of transposing it into sheet music or tab. No accurate tabs exist on the internet. Maybe this will clear up the sweet lick for me. My timing is always off.
Soviless99 I just analyzed it to see what I'm doing and this is the strumming pattern I got. The x's represent percussive clicks where you lift your hand off the fretboard slightly. --------------------------------------- x-x-x (5/7) 7-7---x----(5/7)-7-7 x-x-x (5/7) 7-7---x----(5/7)-7-7 -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- DUD U D-U D U D U So the 3 percussive clicks at the beginning are (down-up-down) and the first notes played (the 5/7 slide) is a single upstroke. That's the exact strum pattern, but it is very much a 'feel' thing. If I can help any more let me know!
2cambro i feel thats missing something. a note there at the end. id have to grab a guitar... tho, i wanted to say here in your "lesson" this is first time ive seen it played right. props. mostly correct- there are variations of how to play this song that all sound very good. this being one of the better lessons. but try using power chords on the second time you end the main (first) riff. try A3/A5. doing same pattern you are here. but try that, gives it a fuller sound if you ask me... and sounds a bit more accurate if you listen to record.
AutumnAsh81 Thanks for the props. You could be right about the power chords thing. I know Rogers Stevens definitely plays power chords on that part w the electric at the end, and listening to the record closely, the acoustic might do that as well. Thanks.
Great rendition. I used to know how to play (15-20 years ago) this and as difficult as it sounds, it’s really not that complicated (at least to me, and I’m really not that good and hardly play). It may just be that I’m particularly good at hammers and pull offs or whatever, but I guess we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. I think the first two chords are very accurate, but the last chord in the verse I believe is some sort of D chord. The end bit however, I think is mostly wrong. Some tabs have it as sliding up the G string from the 5th fret and ringing and open B each time you slide up the neck : B3 pull off, G5-B0, G4-B0...etc. Let me know if that makes sense or you’re interested in my input. Great first vid, nonetheless. I’ll add you. 👊

I learned this when I was 14, came back to this video all these years later and wow I forgot how beautiful of a song this is
Buddy, you showed me this years ago and I still rip this riff in my warm up every day. Thank you. Hope that you are well. RIP Shannon.

Hey man you did a pretty good job, keep practicing!!
I get screwed up at alot of the struming parts like the percussive 5th to 7th fret slide. I just started playin 3 months ago
It sounds like ur doing upstrokes alot of the song like the 5 to 7 slide

x-x-x (5/7) 7-7---x----(5/7)-7-7

Oh shut up
still having trouble with the pull offs to
just practice it over annd over slow... youll get it.
Ya the rhythm is very tricky my arm has a tough time staying loose for the strumming especially the sequence after the hammer on b string :)
it WAS GREAT VERY EMOTIONAL SONG THANKS MAN
not bad. the end part is power chords of the same previous notes.
Thank you very much
thanks!
i love blind melon keep making the lessons
same here
I like your enthusiasm but that’s just not how you play the song. But I respect your courage on making the video.
