Oh, I love this Tull song. It has a sublime sorrow that brings tears to my eyes. True artists are somehow able to turn sadness into something beautiful.
I viewed this and couple of your other JT tutorials; really good. I grew up with these songs and always wanted to learn them and , now , with your help I think I can. Great job!
Thank you for yet another great tutorial. When playing this on a single guitar you can compensate for the lack of a bass guitar by playing the A- chord like this: open A (root), A-note on the D-string, 7th fret (octave), C-sharp on the G-string (major third). And by playing the G-chord as shown, but adding the G-note on the D-string, 5th fret (root). You get a fuller sound on both chords
Thanks for that suggestion! Certainly more than one way to skin a cat! I've seen some covers where folks are just playing the A and G down in the open position which doesn't sound as good. Plus you can't do the slide back to the A.
Good morning Sir. Much appreciate your work on Andersons' songs. You're a real helping hand. And speaking about help, i actually need one for "Nursie" ... hope to see it . Stay safe 🎶
Great song! I’d like to suggest starting lessons with a play through or abbreviated play through of the song. It will help viewers decide if they want to stick around. It will also give learners an idea of what the end result will be at the outset! Cheerz
One of many of their songs that I sat around trying to play and sing, knowing the chords, and thought, what's the matter with me? It's not until I count these things out that I understand, sorta.
Thanks. This series of Martin didn't catch on and they only produced it for a few years. It's the OMC Aura. It has a much slimmer neck profile, something I like being that I have small hands. But most people didn't like it, or the new design of the neck inlay. People are picky!
Thanks for doing such a thorough analysis and 'giving' straight away... Got my work cut out for me! I think I need to isolate the picking (cross string) parts before adding fret and synching it up... NOT easy!
There is so little variety in modern commercial music. I occasionally find a band on YT that I really like and has interesting composition, but they are so hard to find. And yes, very few in 3/4 and 6/8 that Ian loved so much. Chord progressions too. I play in my church band from time to time and it's hard to keep thinking of new things to do with I-V-vi-V.
This one is a 2008 Martin OMC Aura. They didn't make it very long because it is different from standard Martins. It has a very thin neck profile, something I really like about it.

Glad you like it!
@@snoozedoctor You are wonderful! What a nice world this would be, if more people were like you!
@@davidzimmerli489 You're very kind.
@@snoozedoctor and honest .....
! Well said. I love Ian’s acoustic style.
I just love the way Martin Barre works in the wha pedal adding another layer of what ever it is that makes this song sound so special.
Yeah, that's a part I wouldn't have thought to add but it works great!
Whats up Doc? Thanks a ton for the cool lesson of an all time fave...Seems fitting as I watch the sun setting in Sunny SoCal...Subscribed!
Living the life! thanks for listening and commenting. I appreciate it. Cheers!

As a Tull fan, I appreciate that you are doing Tull videos. Ian Anderson has written an impressive and unique body of work.
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you - and welcome back sir. This is a great song from an all-time classic album.
Agreed, great classic Tull.
My FAVORITE DOC. Danke für Look into the Sun. Greatings from Köln. 😘 Willi
Hi Willi!
One of the best tunes. Very pretty. Well done
Thanks!
Good morning Sir. Much appreciate your work on Andersons' songs. You're a real helping hand. And speaking about help, i actually need one for "Nursie" ... hope to see it . Stay safe 🎶
You are very welcome.
Great to see you again and with an important song from my youth.
Great to be back with a tutorial! More to come.
Great lesson, Ian Anderson was a poet and excellent guitarist.
Couldn't agree more
Glad to see you back Doc. You sure picked a fine tune for the return of Tull tutorials.
Thank you kindly! More on the way.

Thanks! Yes, if you've seen my recent tutorials, I'm starting with a 3/4 speed play-a-long to give that context.
This is one of the best ballads ever. Thanks for explaining the 5/4/3. I knew there must be a logic there somewhere.

SnoozeDoctor,We need More like (Mother Goose).your a breath of fresh air my friend ❤❤❤
Thanks so much! I've done a Mother Goose tutorial, check for it on my channel. Cheers!
Lovely! Thanks for the clear tutorial...
Glad it was helpful!
Very happy to see that you’re back. I had noticed you were missing. And as always, nicely done.
Thank you kindly!
beautiful tune , thank you
Glad you like it!
Nice one. That guitar is a work of art.

jSuch a great tutorial - thank you so much - love this JT-song to bits
Thanks! Cheers to you!
You are really good on all the Jethro Tull tutorials, thanks for all your work
thank you!
Nice job Doc! Thanks very much
Glad you liked it!

My pleasure! Cheers to you and have fun with it!
Many thanx for this great tutorial I
You are welcome!
I love Thick as a Brick, I learned Ian’s part, but you are so good, I would love to see your lesson.
I did a lesson on the opening of TAAB. I may be doing some other sections in the future!
@@snoozedoctor That would be great. I didn’t realize TAAS meant Thick As A Brick. Maybe think of writing it out.
Excellent 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Yes
That dang chorus is so hard to play and sing.
There are not enough songs in 3/4 and 6/8 these days. It's all 1234 over and over again. Songs in 3/4 stand out to me.

Hi Doc - Any chance that "Slipstream" will be a future tutorial song? Thanks again for all your great work!
Great suggestion! Love that song.
BTW thank you
You're welcome!

Yikes ! That’s a Martin? Uffff
