What always amazes me in these lessons is how different the guitar parts sound when they get isolated. Sometimes the guitar barely sounds like the recording. Just when I think I understand a guitar song, 12 Foot Chain is here with to gives peek behind sound engineer’s panel! 😅
If for no other reason (and this guy is a very good teacher) watch this vid for an enlightening discussion of the meaning of "pompetus" -- and in "the pompetus of love..."
I think maybe he was shooting for “poumpousness” with Pompatous ! The former being a real word 😁 great job . I work with this guy who always sings it in E, I just play a slide part in standard its not exact but it works…a wah helps a lot to get the tone!
Thanks a lot for this great explanation of this nice peace of good old music, what brings back so many good feelings, so far, far away! 🥰 Greetings from Germany 🤟

Nice work. For practical purposes when playing this with a band, it also works well to just use a standard tuned acoustic with a capo on 3…as for the slide, you nailed it. Open E (or F) is the way to go. I prefer to use an Open E guitar, but put a capo on F, this allows the electric to do some of those parts you mentioned for that 2nd acoustic, especially during the chorus.
I never got to the slide part before thanks for that! I had never gotten past trying to play it and sing it at the same time…..out of all of the songs I play I still have more trouble with that song than any other…..

This is the Pompatus of guitar lessons. Thanks

Pompatus is a word used when you didn't think up "sussudio."
Bwaahahaha

Top shelf stuff here, I definitely learned how to play this song. And will add it to my list for songs I can play. Peace
Great song and lesson!
Dropped 'D' - amazing! Love this song and this lesson. Great wah and guitar tone.
Actually D standard, even if 12 Chain refers to it as Drop D at some point
Better yet, don't!
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day doug ❤😊
Pink Floyd’s “Dogs” is in the same tuning. Epic tune! 👍🏻🎸🤘🏻

You totally nailed the slide parts!
Great lesson - lunch time treat ! from Les P's hometown .
Nice attempt on the slid3. Pretty close
???? He nailed them 99.9%!
@BeatlesCentricUniverse no one will.match the recorded line. Not even the original musician
