Great job, this is my first time catching one of your videos, and your teaching style is spot on.

What it sounds to me at the end of the chorus is, you position your fingers for the D chord, but add the sus4, then during the last 2 measures of the chorus, you play the Sus4, then lift the middle and pinky, then press down again the middle finger to make it a D major again. Sounds good to my ears.

“Don’t play it wrong just cause you didn’t learn it right the first time.” Great words of wisdom for guitar players or basically anything . Great lesson B.J.. Oh and that’s a cool looking and unique capo! 🙃
@RealWorldGuitar3 жыл бұрын
Great looking capo! ❤️ And thank you, my man. That is literally like my mantra for students. I feel like too many people claim they don’t like to learn a song note-for-note, or the right way, because of creative license, or that they just want to do “their own interpretation.” Every once in a while, that may be true, but I’d say 95% of the time, it’s just because they didn’t want to put in the effort to learn it correctly.

@@RealWorldGuitar Im a stickler in trying to sound as close to the original as possible. In my opinion the listener/or audience should know the song in the first 30 seconds . If a minute in and you then realized “oh that’s the song “ yikes 😅

Thank you so much man! That was definitely the goal - not that everyone has to play it perfectly, or exactly like the album, but I feel like that should be the starting point, and then each person can make his/her own creative decisions from there. I'm really glad you dug it!

Hands down best tutorial on this song. Detailed but not laborious. Perfect. Thanks so much. A lot of bad tutorials floating out there on this one. Happy to finally land on this. PS: is it just me who's brain goes numb when people do the up up down stuff or the count to try to teach strum patterns...I can only ever get strum by feel. Lol

Thanks man! And I hear you on the rhythm thing - I think to truly internalize something, you definitely have to "feel it," but there's a lot of value in getting comfortable with the counting/understanding of rhythm too - they go hand in hand!

thanks - i didn't realize i was playing the intro wrong. i think the pre-chorus riff has the lowest note as an A (actual sounded pitch Bb) in the recording, though, instead of the D.

Great video. Before I saw your video, I had to figure out that slide to an open D (using the C shape) myself instead of that dumb hammer-on part that everyone plays wrong. There are even people giving lessons on youtube teaching it with the hammer-on method that sounds so wrong.

The main riff sounds close but everything else just doesn't sound right in standard. The chorus for example, John does a whole walk-up thing that you just can't replicate in standard because you don't have the open strings at your disposal. Instead you just play boring regular D and Dsus chords there to compensate, it's just not the same though. Call me a stickler but you gotta play it in the original tuning or what's the point? Why play something 80% right when you can easily play it near 100% just by playing it in the right tuning? Don't be lazy.

Thanks for your insight, I really appreciate it! I'd love to see a video of you playing it so I can hear that walk-up more clearly too. If you've got one, feel free to share it here. Thanks!

Way to nitpick things normal people listening to the cover band don’t care about… that also don’t alter the song to most listeners.
