    Life is full of surprise...
    I tagged this video months ago as a good reference for "how to play The Weight". For no special reason a came across with this video again today just to realize that the "teacher" is you! Isn't the world that small? Good professional and good musician also. My best, Jose Stevaux

    I've watched a lot of videos of this that never feel or sound quite right to me.
    But this just feels good.
    Many thanks for your effort and time putting it up!

    Just watched the Bands movie, The Last Waltz, which I saw when it first came out. This was always my favorite sing along so thanks for making it so easy.

    Superb man .. you are right ... the intros as soooo important ... that is what catches people's ears. BTW this song is in the new Tom Cruise movie "Oblivion" representing the good old days. I know you could teach a wonderful "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". A natural for you .. it almost has your name in it ... Dixon Dixie.

  • @sjoerdrijpkema9197
    @sjoerdrijpkema9197 12 лет назад

    Play this song using a capo on II and lower all the chords one 'letter'. This means A becomes G, D becomes C etc. This is much easier and true to how it's played on the record!

  • @thegreywolf521
    @thegreywolf521  13 лет назад

    @horseman528 Its like an E minor but the barred finger is acting as the nut on the second fret. So basically by string and fret it's Low E 2nd, A 4th, D 4th G 2nd, B 2nd, and hight E 2nd. If you cant make the bar at least get the E A and D strings down... that will sound pretty good.

    @horseman528 13 лет назад

    I don't know what an F sharp minor looks like. I can only guess from the video. I know your barring the second fret and putting your ring finger on the fourth fret on the A string but I can't tell where the other finger is. I played it and it sounds alright to me without the other finger. I just barred the 2nd fret and put my ring finger on the 4th fret on the A string.

    Can you tell me what you do after you play the "D" chord when you sing "Fanny"? You play a few notes, lift up your index finger and then go into the A chord but I can't really follow it. Thanks so much for putting this on youtube. Great job!
