  • Guitar cover of A Girl Like You by The Smithereens off their 1989 album 11. Played through Guitar Rig 5 into Reaper. Song has two guitar parts that I tried to blend into one so it's not 100% each guitar track.

    What everybody else seems to do wrong with this song is when the chords go from D to F to the E minor, people play them as major chords when in fact you have to keep the D position while catching the F root and C, the E and B notes while still holding that D position. It's the only way to make it sound right. No one else really teaches that on RUclips. What a great great lesson you did here.

      So true of most guitar covers on RUclips. Most Guitardists don't play what's really recorded. This video did good job

      Yeah, they play on the 3rd fret A string to 2nd fret A string

    I watched a ton of covers of this song all over RUclips and by far this one is the best. You are spot on. You just earned another subscriber bud

    Finally someone playing the last two chords of that riff correctly! Those are key to the tone of the song.

    I like the way you pull up on the b note in the lick. I missed that.

    What frets/notes/strings are you playing for the F and Em chords after the D in the beginning?

    • @nathanbotha1199
      @nathanbotha1199 2 года назад

      I want to know this too...it looks like he may be holding down the D chord and just using the bass notes F and E at the same time. In practice though F and E powerchords (the one-finger smoke on the water style powerchords) sound good too and it all still fits within the key of the song, which judging by the chords used must be the key of A minor.

    • @nathanbotha1199
      @nathanbotha1199 2 года назад

      Sorry I mean the bass notes C and B over the D chord...i don't have a guitar infront if me though - will be able to hear if its C and B notes over the D chord (5th string) or the F and E notes (4th string) when my guitars with me. Anyway, your comments a few years old, just thought I'd leave these theories here incase it helps anyone else lol.

    • @h4ck.b0x75
      @h4ck.b0x75 2 года назад

      I forgot about this comment. It appears he lets the high end of the D keep ringing and then plays Root-5 F & E power chords. He frets the F with his thumb and the C with his middle finger while his middle finger stays on the D note of the B string. He then descends from the C note to the B on the A string fretting with his index finger while lifting his thumb to descent from the F to E on the E string effectively moving from an F5 to E5 chord.

      @@h4ck.b0x75 If I slow it down and listen to the original recording, there's a ninth (the G) on the top string, and a C on the B string for sure with the thumb playing the F on the low E string
