    You have this spot on...I have argued with many guitar players about these chords...Eb to Gm/D to D. The second electric guitar part is exactly right too...when combined with the main riff it makes it "cut" when you hear them together...you have a very good ear for music my man.

      Good one! Just made a comment about this today. At least the Dsus4 "kinda" sounded correct - at least for our military audiences in Germany :)

    Words cannot express how wonderful your lessons are.
    Thank you vary, very much for this. You have achieved what many strive to do but just cannot get it right. Out of all the channels on youtube, your lessons are ALWAYS spot on and accurate. Not to mention your wonderful teaching and playing ability. Always a nice.
    Stay Frosty.

      nope nope ... Hey, I couldn't agree with you more! Ya Andy IS amazing ;-) .... curious, re: your "stay frosty" ending, are you a John Carleton fan? He's the only guy I ever saw use that line ;-)

      No, I don't have any idea who John Carleton is. Just went with it, I guess :)

    I swear you have to be the best guitar player I've ever seen. I live on your RUclips page. I Know modesty will not allow you to agree but all your guitar playing is so meticulous. You must be somewhat of a perfectionist. How long have you been playing to be that awesome ? I dream of being able to do what you do one day. I've only been playing for a year and a half. I get SO frustrated when I can't get it all down when playing my guitar. I'm a RUclips guitar student. I just wanted to compliment you on your guitar talent. May God bless you 🙏 and your family.

    Eb to Gm/D to D. That's what makes you one of the best teachers here, those details that make it perfect.

  • @joseph-ow1hf
    @joseph-ow1hf Год назад

    A lot more sophisticated writing than it sounds......but then again......probably the reason it works and became a big hit. I gave up on learning guitar months ago, but I still really enjoy the knowledge you impart in your vids. A bit of music theory, a bit of history and trivia but with an honest level of enthusiasm that makes it fun rather than pedantic. Thanks!!

  • @stanesposito2664
    @stanesposito2664 7 лет назад +3

    Back in the day using a cheap record player, no internet or tabs it was very tedious to get parts. Usually when someone came up with a usable part like the sus chord, everyone you knew played it that way. Being the only guitarist in a band meant playing a little of each part and mashing them together. This was fun to finally hear all the parts played out. Thanks.

    Excellent! I cannot tell you how many times guitar players have argued with me about that Eb transition. I think I have run into only 1 or 2 players that did it right. And of course, since I play keyboards, they don't think I know. Most are so wrapped up in their sound they don't notice I am playing a 12 string patch doing 3rd guitar part.

    Nice! That last part i have been covering on keys for many years live while our "real" guitarist does the main part. Makes for a nice counterpoint. This is really helpful as I'm trying to do this tune on guitar instead.

    Tom Johnston is a master at this kinda stuff. Barring and hamering. He does it on listen to the music too. Almost same chords shape but then on 9th fret. That's the Johnston shuffle.

    Man you are GOOD! We used to play this song over in southwest Germany back in the '70s in my old cover band and I too went to a Dsus4 after the Eb. I really appreciate your setting the record straight. I am now a huge fan, keep up the incredible work friend.

    I love your vids. I can not play some of those chords corrrectly anymore though, I broke my left wrist and I just cant stretch my fingers like I used too. Besides when your playing to a bunch of drunk people in a bar, its not like they notice or care......like Fogerty said " Ev'ry time I've had to play
    While people sat there drunk
    You know, I'd catch the next train
    Back to where I live
    Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again" LOL

    You know, when this music was coming out, nobody knew who was playing what.
    From the album covers, I thought the black dude was doing the vocals because..duh.
    Tom Johnson was..and is a musical genius.
    By the time he disappeared from the band, I figured that much out at least.
    The way rock bands rolled in those days...I thought he was probably not long for this world.
    As Rick said: Heroin is a hell of a drug.
    Seeing him live on, come back and play on is just a joy.

    For the acoustic parts, if you tune the A down to G, you can play it as recorded - With the G bass running through, that's based on the ISO tracks available, it may be tuned to open G as well, great job on this though!
