This is a song that I obsess about. It's impossible to imagine the vocals without the chord progression, and the lyrics have so much meaning to me, given my love for the guitar. Thanks for the video!
Hi Jon. Here in Italy, the pandemic hit us hard. We've been living like hermits for over a year now. Believe it or not, your lessons help stay up. Cheers n thanks.
Jon you are posting my favorite songs form the 60's. Last week it was Happy together by the Turtles with your hybrid picking. Once again, Drift Away is a song where over 90% of the tutorials mess up the intro or just strum through it. Your cover is 100% accurate and bang on to Dobie Gray's studio version. I am impressed by your wide reaching musical knowledge and your appreciation of songs that were hits way before you were born. Cheers!👍👍
Awww thanks so much Keef! I appreciate that and your point is EXACTLY why I need to make these videos. Many lessons (and even ones with millions of views) are often musically so far off, and as a student it can be tough to even know if what you're learning is accurate and is how it was really played. I make mistakes all the time, I play the wrong chords, and have learned songs the wrong way and relearned them, but that is part of the value I want to bring and help shortcut players and save them years, of struggle. I appreciate you noticing. Thanks for watching and spread the word.
@@jonmaclennan Jon, we really appreciate your effort in posting these videos. It is such a revelation seeing these iconic songs played and taught correctly. Thanks.
That’s a shame John, no mention of the guy that actually played the guitar on that track? 🤷♂️ The amazing Reggie Young. What made you think Dobie played the guitar?
Hey Jon you're great and I like your instructional stuff you make it easy to learn, You did a Chet Atkins transcription a while back that was an excellent tutorial.. Thanks
Yup! There are tons of fills, and lead parts. Unfortunately I can't cover everything here on youtube. Sorry to disappoint. But I do go a lot deeper in the material on my website, like my free book about soloing or my BEST lessons in my courses here: www.jonmaclennan.com/store

Awesome so glad to help!
I like the way he instructs. Very very good technique he has for the
Dobie Gray
You're welcome! Glad to help!
Great Great lesson Jon! Giving Reggie Young (RIP) a big thank you for this awesome intro. You nailed it Jon!
A video teaching all of the great guitar fills would be nice. Some outstanding guitar playing on this hit record 👌🏻🎸🖖🏻
Really great choice! Thank you!
John, the guitarist as the great REGGIE YOUNG!!
Thank you, Jon. Always a pleasure watching you teach. You are awesome. God bless you.
For years I was missing that D#m7 on the intro, and it never sounded quite right. Thank you much for posting this!
Very well done, logical lesson! Greatly appreciate!
Very well done!

With that attitude to accuracy and quality, we will be celebrating your millionth subscriber in no time.😀🎂
Thank You! Wanted this one for a while.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
Great job Jon!
I love the intro chords
That’s a shame John, no mention of the guy that actually played the guitar on that track? 🤷♂️
The amazing Reggie Young.
What made you think Dobie played the guitar?
Don't forget Troy Seals who played the other guitar. He always gets overlooked for some reason.
Great - thanks!

Another great Reggie young guitar part...
Nice chords...
5 Stars!

Very nice, thank you. What model Telecaster are you playing? Sounds Great
cheers m8 awesome!
Very nicely done, Jon, Thanks! I think that's an F#m7 rather than an F#m.
well done
Marty Party must learn from this video by Jon MacLenan,this is what we want to hear
Can’t find tabs for this can you provide a link please?
How about doing a tutorial on Frankenstein. Pretty tuff but I know you can do it!.
How can I learn these chords
It’s an F#7 sus 4. I believe.
I don't believe that it's D#m7 in the intro. I think it's just the F# Major triad. I don't hear the D# bass note.
the original memphis guitarists were the best young cropper and hodges .
transpose that to G ?
Chord charts always help, but I guess I have to pay for that, huh?
missin' all the fills
Yup! There are tons of fills, and lead parts. Unfortunately I can't cover everything here on youtube. Sorry to disappoint. But I do go a lot deeper in the material on my website, like my free book about soloing or my BEST lessons in my courses here: www.jonmaclennan.com/store
U left out the all important filled
You counted 1234, but the intro actually comes in on 2
Actually not.
@@MichaelCrutcher thanks, I got now
The F# chord in the intro has a 7th in it - listen!
Great lesson, much appreciated
