  • This is a little ditty from one of my all-time favorite 90's bands, Better Than Ezra. Just had the pleasure of seeing Kevin Griffin play an inspiring set in Bethlehem a month ago in which he played this classic. I hope I did it justice and to Kevin, I was the guy shouting for "In The Blood" so thanks for playing it! I'll probably end up covering that too.

    I heard this on my way home. Pulled out the guitar and was caught up on the walk down. Cheers on having it figured out so I could grab it easy. Good job on the tune as well. One of my favorites.

    I came back to say that I visited this video years ago in an attempt to lear this song from someone I could watch both play and sing.
    I was not disappointed. Years later, I can play this song to the level for which I had hoped. A great and truly under appreciated song of the 90s. Thanks!

    • @ia5662
      @ia5662  6 років тому +2

      slide a C up 2 frets, come back to C, then G.

    • @MalakMacabre
      @MalakMacabre 6 років тому

      ianA Thanks. But I meant that part where you go from.single notes to what looks like power chords.

    • @ia5662
      @ia5662  6 років тому

      just watch where the root note is on the single notes, all I do after the first two is switch to octave chords, leaving the middle note muted, so you're not seeing a power chord there, it's an octave chord to give the notes more presence.
