Bravo. Never thought I'd see an American teaching the technical aspects of my favourite song. You remind me that the connection we have within this world is quite beautiful. Thank you.
Your lovely comment brought a big smile to my face, for various reasons. I'm glad you said something, and found my obscure video. I love your country (I assume you're from the UK?), and its music of the late 70's/80's shaped who I am today.
I agree with you--Weller was at his peak, it seems, between 80-85 (I gotta include Sound Affects in there); maybe then again during "Wildwood." He still manages to have some wonderful hits among the misses... Friggin' incredible musician, he is.
I love that song. Shows Weller as the great songwriter he is. So adaptable and capable of different styles. A truly gifted man. Love the way you played that too and the stuff you post. Thank you.
It's 1 of the 5 that I love the best on Cafe Bleu. The Whole Point Of No Return, My Ever Changing Moods (piano and vocal version), You're The Best Thing, Here's One That Got Away, Headstart For Happiness are the 5 I love most.
I'm glad it was helpful. I think if I had to select one Style Council song to listen to over and over for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Perfect that it's just Weller and his guitar...
Indeed, he is. While I was mowing my lawn this lovely spring weekend, I had a random thought about Weller's songwriting enter my head: I thought that he wrote some marvelous "little" songs--brief, "simple", but poignant. This one, along with "No One in the World" came to mind. Absolute gems...
some jam fans didnt like the council at all but they must realise weller was on top of his game at the end of the jam and he just didnt turn bad overnight,some of the early style council tunes are excellent...just lke this one
I agree... I recall first listening to the album in '83 and my 50's-era parents hearing the title track; they looked at their previously Jam-listening son in bewilderment, as it sounded like something they'd have liked.
Good instructions, but having seen this live about a million years ago, Weller plays the C and D as barred E chords at the 9th and 10th fret and the E9 goes to Em7 by dropping the third on the D string a fret and moving the 'pinky' to the eight fret you have an octave of the minor third
Thank you ,thank you ,thank you. This has always been one of my most favorite songs of all time. You are so kind and generous to post this lesson. All the best
I suppose so, although I assume anyone watching the lesson knows just how the song goes. Played/sung it later on, posted on the channel recently. Thanks for your support.
Don't forget folks with the Royal Wedding. And we have food banks, austerity as you do in the States :( Paul was supporting the miners who were attacked by Margaret Thatcher. Maybe the last stand of the working classes.
Yes, "You do something.." is another Weller gem. I know the basics of that song, but I've never gotten the whole thing down. Gotta be a bunch of those covers already up though, I imagine....
yes modfather66 you did it right.. the guitqr qs qn Heritqge in the historicql gibson febric. so people who had work there for decqdes decided to do this ;model but it didn4t lqst. tks for the chords ;on q;i.- l
Hey man... Thanks. BTW: I've got a '99 Rose Morris Blue Boy Paisley (custom) coming in the mail next week. Send me your email address and I'll send some pics. Pretty amazing...
I agree wholeheartedly... This was the best I could do at the time. BTW... I'm not even sure Weller himself could capture the essence of that magical recording from '83 or whenever it was.
Glad to help people learn this great little song. Thanks for dropping by.

It's perhaps my fav TSC song... Thanks for your encouragement and support. ;-)

Thank you modfather, you've helped me to play right this lovely song. : )
That's a great compliment. Thanks for mentioning it. That's all I really hope for--to encourage more people to play these wonderful songs.
this song is much more than a biting social commentary, my friend. it's a call for revolution!
Indeed...
A great song! I've never known how to play this one properly but now I do, thanks. P.S. Cafe Bleu was 1984. Cheers.
Thank you .. love the lesson
You're welcome. I enjoyed learning this one finally and making this...
Thank's so much...came across this by accident; can't tell you how much it made my day!!
Glad to hear it. Cheers.
very helpful ...thanks a lot! Beautiful song from you and Paul...
I'm glad it was helpful. I think if I had to select one Style Council song to listen to over and over for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Perfect that it's just Weller and his guitar...
Great analysis and note perfect rendition of one of my favourite Weller songs.
Cheers... Thanks for the support. I still love this song.
You are a good man and a great teacher. Thank you so so much
Thanks for the kind words... Didn't see them until now, sorry.
You and I are about the same age... Good days, those early 80's. Thanks for dropping by.
Very nice. Thanks so much! You are a really good teacher! So clear... yep a biting commentary indeed. Nice guitar by the way!!
Very nice lesson. Thank you for sharing this and congrats to your beautiful guitar.
Thank you... I do love this old guitar.
beautiful tone, man!
and well explained, too.
Cheers... Thanks for stopping by.
Very nice! Thanks for the lesson.
Cheers.
Weller is a great musician as well as a songwriter
Indeed, he is. While I was mowing my lawn this lovely spring weekend, I had a random thought about Weller's songwriting enter my head: I thought that he wrote some marvelous "little" songs--brief, "simple", but poignant. This one, along with "No One in the World" came to mind. Absolute gems...
Excellent thats so good…. Thanks
Cheers... Love playing this song.
Kind words... Thanks.
some jam fans didnt like the council at all but they must realise weller was on top of his game at the end of the jam and he just didnt turn bad overnight,some of the early style council tunes are excellent...just lke this one
Beautiful mate
Thanks for the support.;-)
great now i can play it thank you
That's definitely the idea. Congrats.
This is a superb lesson ..
Thanks. I don't get much action on this video...;-)
Please keep the weller lessons coming I really find them very helpful ..do you have any patron page.? as I would gladly donate
@@JuddLofthouse Thanks for the encouragement. I don't have any such thing. I'm not even sure how such a "page" would work.
CAFE BLEU........love this album....unforgettable...
I agree... I recall first listening to the album in '83 and my 50's-era parents hearing the title track; they looked at their previously Jam-listening son in bewilderment, as it sounded like something they'd have liked.
Love the tone of that guitar.
The best compliment I can hope for... Thanks. ;-)
Hi. Thanks for the sentiments about the guitar. It's a good one; just played it again tonight...
Good instructions, but having seen this live about a million years ago, Weller plays the C and D as barred E chords at the 9th and 10th fret and the E9 goes to Em7 by dropping the third on the D string a fret and moving the 'pinky' to the eight fret you have an octave of the minor third

I was there, I'm so old 😞
Thank you ,thank you ,thank you. This has always been one of my most favorite songs of all time. You are so kind and generous to post this lesson. All the best
I agree with you about this song... Thanks for the kind words.
Very nice indeed!
Cheers...
Thank you.
I tried the C barre chord as a Cmaj7 too. But the C to the D (as you play it) works better.
Thanks for your input. ;-)
Those are all great songs. I would have said the same 5...
Hope it helped. Cheers.
Thanks for the correction. My bad. Great song, ay?
very nice a,little barney kessell tal farlow in there sweet man
+Glen Boyle I'll have to Google that name... Thanks for stopping by.
Lesson in respect to people who can play an instrument especially a guitar.
lesson starts at 1:47
...I talk too damn much. Just so much to say about TSC, the song, the guitar, etc. But yeah--too much talk.
seen him do it with a Strat on a live video
I've seen that too... I'm thinking of the great pic on the back of the Cafe Bleu album where he's on what looks like a Gibson 335.
thank you for the lesson! Maybe it would be good to begin the lesson by giving a demo of the song?
I suppose so, although I assume anyone watching the lesson knows just how the song goes. Played/sung it later on, posted on the channel recently. Thanks for your support.
your tone may better than original one
Well... ;-) I'll take the compliment.
Don't forget folks with the Royal Wedding. And we have food banks, austerity as you do in the States :( Paul was supporting the miners who were attacked by Margaret Thatcher. Maybe the last stand of the working classes.
Thanks for the reminders...
Thanks for this guitar lesson. This is my favourite Paul Weller's song with "You Do Something to Me" available at watch?v=tM1rSTOs7Zs&ob=av2n
Yes, "You do something.." is another Weller gem. I know the basics of that song, but I've never gotten the whole thing down. Gotta be a bunch of those covers already up though, I imagine....
yes modfather66 you did it right.. the guitqr qs qn Heritqge in the historicql gibson febric. so people who had work there for decqdes decided to do this ;model but it didn4t lqst. tks for the chords ;on q;i.-

Thanks for the support.
So difficult....no the chords just the groove...hard to get
Stay at it, and it will come... ;-)
Hey man... Thanks. BTW: I've got a '99 Rose Morris Blue Boy Paisley (custom) coming in the mail next week. Send me your email address and I'll send some pics. Pretty amazing...
good try. But it lacks the essence.
I agree wholeheartedly... This was the best I could do at the time. BTW... I'm not even sure Weller himself could capture the essence of that magical recording from '83 or whenever it was.
Its a f'ing lesson....not a performance! Nob!
