    It’s not often you hear about the cars guitar parts on RUclips. This is awesome. Can’t wait for more.

    Three chords and the truth. Simple but effective. Genius. What a joy to live and breathe under the stars. Thank you once again for all your hard work....

    Nice work!
    I heard The Cars on their first American tour, in Pittsburgh at the Stanley Theater, when they opened for The Atlanta Rythmn Section.
    They played the entire first album.
    There was a lighted sign hanging over the stage that said "CARS", and when the headliners Atlanta Rythmn Section took the stage, the "C" was removed.
    The Cars were fantastic.
    They blew the headliners away so badly, that half the of the audience left during Atlanta Rythmn Section's set.
    Kind of like 1977, when AC/DC on their "High Voltage" tour opened for Ted Nugent.

    The Cars weren’t IN a genre , they WERE their own genre and the only band to ever reside within it

      Have to agree what a sound not too pop not rock just cool, excellent guitar work really un noticed by most, Dave Robinson one of the first to use the electronic drums synths addition to his kit

    Nod to the past from "new wave" group. A lot of 50's era in there. I agree with your hearing the cuffed rake, the notes work - but the break is better. Like racers know, ya' gotta know when to use the brakes. 🤨

    Easton seemed to be playing through the 1625 over the EAB. Jazz approach. Interesting.
    Very good analysis thankyou.

    • @12footchain
      @12footchain  10 месяцев назад

      Exactly! Te minor 6 is related to the 1, the minor 2 is related to the 4. Good analysis, wish I thought of that

      EE studied Jazz for his brief time at Berklee when he wielded an ES 335 that was stolen. Subtly sophisticated player with great taste and tone. 😊

    I think it's good when learning solos after a few licks to go " ok so far we have rhis" rather than digesting every lick start to finish . shut up & play channel also does a great lesson on this classic.

    • @12footchain
      @12footchain  2 года назад +2

      Thank you! It's a 70th anniversary Broadcaster, just a normal production one. The neck feels so good, absolutely awesome guitar. I now know why people always say Tele is their "if I only had one" guitar.

  • @jimmyjennings4089
    @jimmyjennings4089 11 месяцев назад

    They didn't speed it up on purpose, it was because they went from one format to another and they knew it but just decided to leave it that speed.

    What is the function of the mic placedin front of the amp?⁰

    • @12footchain
      @12footchain  Год назад +1

      I record signal from the amp thru the mic in addition to what my lapel mic picks up, I mix it in during editing to get it to sound closer to what I hear in the room. The lapel mic kinda darkens it up a lot and is not great fidelity.

    • @robertalan2427
      @robertalan2427 Год назад

      @@12footchain in concert all the amps are mic'd up never knew it's function..heck even bass drums are mic'd now...back in the late 50s..60s it was a big deal when we got reverb..played second guitar and some back up vocals...in Quebec..great times.....but your break down of cars best friends girl blew me away...well done sir.

    • @12footchain
      @12footchain  Год назад

      @robertalan2427 thank you. Yes well now, or I guess since 70s they have good live PA sound at concerts, so all the instruments get mic'd in addition to the vocal mics so it can all get pumped put thru the PA.

    Love your videos but "just like the record" is in the key of "F" so why does everyone teach it in "E"?

    • @12footchain
      @12footchain  2 года назад +1

      I explain in the beginning. Everything on the lesson here can be done capo'd at 1 and shifted up a fret. They recorded it in E. Never played it in F

    • @joeurbanowski321
      @joeurbanowski321 2 года назад +2

      Back in the day…. when the Cars recorded this.. the only way to make a taped song faster was to speed up the tape… but it bumped up the pitch.. soo… played it in E.. but now it sounds like F…
      Now,digital recordings can bump up the tempo without changing pitch.. Amazing.!
