  • In this video I demonstrate how to play 4 John Cougar Mellencamp songs including Jack And Diane, Small Town, Pink Houses and R.O.C.K. In The USA. Mellencamp songs are a perfect blend of roots rock and roll and Americana. The guitar tones and musician ship on these songs are masterful and there is a lot to learn within their structure and parts. This video delves into achieving the proper tones and ways to approach the chord patterns and licks that make sense and in a way that is easy to follow along and comprehend. I hope you enjoy the video. Please subscribe!

    John cougars awesome live, I've seen him a couple of times live years ago it was great, they put on an excellent show and it sounds just like the records.😎 love that chick that plays the electric violin as well. Kenny on the drums good stuff.

    Hi Marty, awesome choice of artist and songs thank you! 😊
    One track I’ve struggled to understand how to play was the fantastic and angry intro riff to “Love and Happiness” from JCM’s ‘91 LP “Whenever we wanted”.
    It sounds a simple augmented A chord but I can’t work out the such effective, yet subtle note changes?
    The vibrato incorporated is also so very cool!
    There are so many great albums by Mr JCM where every song can be enjoyed.
    And the range of instruments employed is incredible and usually in no way associated with rock!
    Never before have trumpet, violin, banjo etc ever sounded so, so in keeping and at home in the rock genre!
    The drum playing just ties it so powerfully alltogether with the vocal being the icing on the cake 🍰 😅
    Best wishes

      I need to check that song out. The studio musicians really did a masterful job putting these tunes together in a brilliant way. Simplicity with tiny complexities that keep you wondering and coming back for more. Thanks for watching man!!

    Love me some Mellencamp, Im a Southern Indiana Hoosier like him. He was amazing live back in the day, I saw him twice in Louisville Kentucky.
    I have this saved and will be breaking the Strat out. 😂

      Awesome dude! I've never seen him. But man, there's some cool music in his catalogue. He's surrounded himself with great players for sure.

    So glad you brought up dynamics. Super important to me as singer songwriter who has to carry everything by myself. Without a drummer I need to change the dynamics to keep the song interesting.

    • @Ranch5150SkinWalker
      @Ranch5150SkinWalker  14 дней назад +1

      Absolutely. So important and often missed. Solo or in a band. 🎸🎵

    Great! Your making appealing and interesting videos, just love these songs 👍
    The Lonesome Jubilee is probably my favourite of his albums that I have personally owned since its release, it rocks but with real meaning and always something proper to say.
    Love the back of Uh- Huh enjoying KFC! 😂

    Is it me, or do you use a rather strange fingering for the D chord?

    My Dad drove the tour bus for him for a while, he sad he was an asshole.

    • @Ranch5150SkinWalker
      @Ranch5150SkinWalker  14 дней назад +1

      I've heard he's pretty tough so deal with. I guess 20 top singles and 13 Grammy nominations can go to one's head. 🤷

      @@Ranch5150SkinWalker yeah, when my Dad drove for him he had just dropped the “Cougar” from John Cougar Meloncamp. He said he got on the bus (after the show) ran his fingers through his hair and said ..Damn I star. First meeting. And was an asshat the whole tour.
      My Dad drove for a LOT of them, I got to meet a lot of them, he was a dick. So was Motley Crue, Def Leppard was Awesome… Billy Idol was too!! Steve Steven’s was as cool as you could ask for!!!

    Are you also going to show us how to get pissy with the audience over politics and walk off the stage mid-show like JCM does when his ass isn't being kissed?
    His music makes my ear hurt now.

      I don't pay attention to that stuff. I'm not really sure what he does to be honest.
