FYI Ronnie Montrose came up with the intro lick on the fly just kinda rehearsing after he was shown the song and Van Morrison heard him do it and said, "Hey Ronnie, whatever you just did, that's the intro! Remember it!" Ronnie had recently joined the band and was a member for about a year. Fun facts. Thanks for the vid sir.

Found this lesson yesterday - and this morning it hit me - EVERY time I look for a lesson on a song - and there is a Hoodrio version - I know I am in for a treat. This one is another perfect example - clear explanations, easy to understand music theory - got to love the Hoodrio. Thanks!!

Very cool lesson. Thanks man. I've always loved this positive, positive song and now I can play it. A bit more practice and I will get my harmonica involved. Harmonica works well in Van's music because of his great use of horns.

Ronnie Montrose's clean guitar on this tune just nail's it! Nice job on teaching, and making it look easy. A great recording from 1971 that had no " electronic goo " on it. It could have been on anyone's jazz album, and some day probably will be. Maybe mine.....

I can’t believe I just happened upon this lesson. I was playing a Traffic song, and stumbled on the opening chord for this song. I recognized the riff but didn’t know the name of it, but I knew it was a Van Morrison tune. So, after digging around I found it. And right on the spot, your lesson landed in my lap!!

Cool lesson and like how you point out that a G6 is basically an Em but the tonal root (bass) changes to a G on that part of the progression so I'd argue that is in fact a G to G6 movement and an E minor. Just so we don't go confusing people and not letting them trust their ears.

Terrific lesson, thanks so much. I love that you are explaining some of the music theory that the song is built upon, I'm trying to expand my knowledge of theory and it's a great way to pick some up (as opposed to slogging through theory books as I have been trying to do). Also how you relate some of the different parts to other songs and artists. Gonna check out your other stuff. Thanks again.

@kiddyuknot Yes, it's just to give the chord another voicing. That intro riff is a textbook example of how playing the same chord in different places on the fretboard enrichens the tonality of your playing.

Thanks for the tip. The interview is great and can be found by searching for "Ronnie Montrose Interview." He shows that the 3rd chord in the progression is indeed a G to C with a little hammer-on after.

@UKToneKing I like both sets, but either way I would highly recommend the Duncan SSL-5 in the bridge. It's the pickup David GIlmour has used and is the best Strat bridge single coil I've heard.

Hi Hoodrio, I am learning and love this song. Could you explain or tab out the hammer ons you are doing at around 5:10 in the lesson where you are going from Em to C (And everything looks so complete) then you do a hammer on by moving up a full step. I have been trying to figure this out.
@hankjivecrankmaster2074 жыл бұрын
Oh shoot, i was trying to close some tabs to save ram, but I just can't close this. It's WAY out of my league, but like a term in the current news, it's "aspirational" thinking for me. Subbed

Slide up to the 7th fret on the 5th string, then play 5th fret 4th string and hammer on the 7th fret 4th string.

you are correct about the intro, anyone who thinks the G-C is sounding "better to them", that's fine, but not what is on the record.

Nope, it's G C G C G C G C with a hammer-on the fourth fret of the G string from the third fret. You can hear the C note in the lick. It's not just a one note hammer on.
@bloozedaddy9 жыл бұрын
jbmando it actually plays the C to the Bb then hammer on to the B and back'n' forth...easy to hear on the record. Without that Bb it sounds sorta cheesy. Ronnie Montrose was the guitar player on the track btw....a little rock trivia.

Nice. I think if you played the song through first and then chopping it up in parts 2nd would save a lot of time. Most people learn by watching. The old "watch and learn" but good job. Very challengine for viewers and Hard to teach music theory in a youtube video in 15 min.

The key is Gmaj. The song never resolves on Em. The Em always leads to another chord.
