    This song can be played so very complicated, or, like your arrangement. I think yours works very well for most. It's your real guitar freaks who are going to be looking for a lot of changes, & especially 'passing' chords in this song. And there are many. Still, I prefer your take & approach to doing this. Thank you.

    drives me crazy when guitar teachers don't start the video by playing through what they're about to teach. I need to know what I'm getting myself into. + this arrangement is so basic that, unless you're an absolute beginner, you'd be able to figure it out by just watching and listening to a performance.

  • @dannycarter1690
    @dannycarter1690 6 місяців тому

    Hey, Julie. Nice arrangement of a fantastic ballad. I've been practicing on this song for a while on Ultimate Guitar which has several different chord shapes that differ from yours. Also, this great song was so well done by Bonnie Raitt, but the writing credits need to be given where credit is due. This song was written by Nashville songwriting duo, Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin, taking 6 months for it's final perfection. It's good to know that songwriting doesn't just happen within a matter of hours for those of us who attempt to write music as well as perform our own music. Who wouldn't want to pen an instant classic ballad like this?

    @jamesanderson2662 10 років тому +5

    Hi Julie,
    Great arrangement and nicely done video. I was just curious why you play that opening e note (g with capo) on the 5th fret above the capo on the second string instead of just playing it open on the first. Either way works, it's a little easier using the open but thank you so much for a great tutorial!

    • @alexanderferguson388
      @alexanderferguson388 8 років тому

      +James Anderson I know you wanted Julie's answer, not mine, but I often do that for two reasons: Keeping a finger on that fret is a helpful reference when switching between G and D chords, and the chord sounds richer (to me) with the 5th (D) than with the 3rd (B).

      +Trevor Leaderbrand It's a little more difficult that way initially, but it allows you to make a G7 with the same hand shape (by lifting the pinky from the E string and adding the first finger).

      This song is actually in Key of B flat. If you r going to play the lead notes you will use all the notes of Bb major scale except I think Eb
      But there are lots bass notes of Eb and Bb and G and D. I think the tutorial here have caught the essence of the song very nicely.

    • @hayleylaura8818
      @hayleylaura8818 10 років тому +1

      Yes I realise that but it was just the way she decided to explain it. This is VERY basic and I wouldn't ever suggest that anybody perform this in public. This video is more to understand the chord structure and not about making it sound pleasing. You'll have to do that part on your own.

      Agreed. Most guitar tutorials could be much clearer and SHORTER with tabs as a graphic over the video. "Second finger, third fret, fourth measure, 6th beat, then switch your third finger to the fourth string, first fret for the 7th beat . . ." A picture is literally worth many words.

    • @larrymorgan6778
      @larrymorgan6778 7 років тому +5

      Guys there is literally a close up of her fingers on the chords. This is easier than tabs as it shows which fingerings to use for the piano chord voicings. Just pause the video and rewind if you miss something. Use your ears and don't rely so heavily on tabs and you'll thank yourself later

    • @piniped
      @piniped 5 років тому

      @@larrymorgan6778 Yes. I watch, then I print out a blank tab sheet, note the fingerings and name the positions, add the key lyrics to the change. I then enter what I learned on a lyric sheet with the chord names above the lyric changes. It takes work, But I've done this for many songs I've learned from UA-cam.

    It may be more helpful to folks like me if you named the real chords since I don't have a capo and want to learn a way to play it on a standard tuned guitar with no capo. It is confusing when I listen and you name the chords you're playing but they are not the actual chords. I understand you have the capo and are naming the chord forms you are playing, however naming the "wrong" chords while I listen to this lesson is throwing me off.
