      This is a really good video breakdown of how to play a great SD song, but the "FREE tabs" are not quite what I expected. They are missing a large part of the lesson in that they don't include either the bridge section or the accompaniment to the solo section.

    It's good to see someone else who uses the middle finger for more than just expressing an opinion. Covering two strings with one finger leads to quicker play and another finger to add a sixth or ninth to the chord. That chord implied in the N.C. bar is probably an outlined B7 #9.

    Great Lesson, thanks. Just a small note to make it more awesome, On the first G in the chorus, after 1 bar of G embellish it to a Gadd9 (300233), it gives it that kick that the Piano in the song does and makes the change to the A Chord sweeter.

    Love your teaching style guy...very glad to see you back. Seems that you always have a good song for us. That being said, I would like to suggest one that there just isn't a good lesson for out there. An old tune by the Amazing Rhythm Aces...Third Rate Romance...there is this little repeating lick in there that try as I might, I just can't work it out.
    Well, even if you don't do that song, I will still tune in to learn what you have to teach. Thanks for all your effort.

  • @steelyd2
    @steelyd2 6 років тому

    In the verse it should be Dadd2 Aadd2. Not just regular D and A major. It adds some steely dan flavor. The chorus should be E9 to start and the second half should start on Cmaj7.

  • @steelyd2
    @steelyd2 3 роки тому +1

  • @koho
    @koho 6 років тому

    Great lesson - but listening to the original, I think where you have A should be Asus2, E7 should be E9 (with no 3rd), and the funky lick should go to F# on the 2nd note, not D#. Try this and let me know if it's not more faithful to the original.

    It's not too bad man, but you're missin the suspended 4ths on the C sharp and B Major chords and a few other "nuances" so far, the sus 9 in the chorus, "on the G chord" the C Major 7th chord in the chorus is correct, the chord progression during the solo section is good, but when you impersonate, the melody on the guitar, the vibrato isn't bad, but your missing out the legato slurs, and, just one last thing, the "motife" during the intro the 2 nd measure is anticipated by a 16th of the measure. But like I said, not too bad man, keep it up. Peace out man, GD.
