The flip side of this is that the one and five (Do and So) ovelap so well, they can almost sound redundant. So from what I understand (from some other video i've watched), the fifth (So) is often left out of chords played in jazz, especially when we do't want the guitar to take up too much room in the sonic mix. So for a Major 7th chord, they might just play the one, three, and seven (Do, Mi, and Ti.)

Coldplay also do a alternative retuning with yellow and sky of stars which gives it the unusual sound we all know. This is something we’ve always heard in the 70’s from the laurel canyon songwriters in the 70s ie Springsteen, young, Jackson brown , Joni Mitchell, csn etc. and also the folk and blues scene where they often used open tunings

@brushstroke3733 2 ай бұрын

I thought Springsteen was from Jersey, so more of a Tin Pan Alley writer. Was I wrong? Was he a Laurel Canyon refugee? (Don't forget Zappa!)

For the second version, you could just move everything up 2 frets and perform in a lower, easier to sing key.. just fyi.. great lesson as always.

@shelbyavant5081 where he says play F you would play G and so on. I made a mistake though.. it would take you up a key vs. Down.. but you wouldn't need to do special tuning.

Are you EVER going to play a part that you want us to learn… before you teach us the part? So we know what to outcome will sound like after we master what you have taught…? Dude… you are awesome… and you teach all the same songs I love… but MY GOD… play the section you are gonna teach.. then teach us the parts… this one is closer to what I am asking… you at least teach it then play it … sort of..? Play it… through… then teach it… come on my man.. 🙏

I used to feel the same way. Now I’m more advanced I came back to his videos. From my experience you need to have a solid foundation to learn from him. That’s not a knock against him. I believe his channel isn’t for beginners. More people that already know their way around the axe.
