    Btw, if any of you are wondering why it never sounds right when you play it, it's because the guitar was originally double-tracked, and there were two parts at the same time.

    • @Aurora-oe2qp
      @Aurora-oe2qp 2 года назад +15

      Fairly certain they also put some kind of sponge or whatever at the bridge as to mute it. I suppose if you've got one of those original jaguars you've already got that built into your guitar.

  • @mr.siddharthtyagi
    @mr.siddharthtyagi 2 года назад +25

    Very useful tip- In every chord shape, you can actually pick up your first finger and keep it in the air after playing it, kind of close the gap so that your pinky doesn't have to stretch so much, and when you come back up to play the heavier strings, lift your pinky up and allow yourself to stretch your first finger. There's no single point of time in this song where you'd need both your first and last finger on the board.
    Secondly, the major 6th can be played by lifting that first finger up and using it for that, and bring it up again, instead of using both first and second fingers.

      @yossarian3464 2 года назад +2

      Just to reinforce this comment. I'm not much more than beginner level and even with big hands, I find playing this with my fingers in static chord shapes to be close to impossible, and extremely uncomfortable. Lifting my fingers allowed me to progress from being unable to play it at all to playing it at full tempo without mistake (occasionally!) within a day. It's just a beautiful piece of music and even 2 days ago I thought it was completely beyond me.

    sir, this brings tears to my eyes, because I never thought that I will come across your video after that years. I mean when I started to play guitar the very first lesson or video I've been watched was with you showing how to play funk. i was 11 years at that time now I'm 26 years old and I'm producer guitar player, bass player and also I'm playing keys. Amazing memory for me I never thought that I would really end as a musician on full time. Greetings from Belgium!

  • @blackholesunarkansas5412
    @blackholesunarkansas5412 Год назад

    This is the more authentic but harder way to play it. For those with less guitar dexterity, I recommend playing it in standard tuning with a capo at the 1st fret. Look for tutorials with a capo on the neck.
    The other thing I discovered while learning this is, I couldn't capture the feel of the part until I realized something -- in addition to the sequence of the notes and the tricky muting, the notes are played kind of staccato, matching the staccato bass line. You can achieve a certain amount of this with additional right-hand muting, like with the side of your thumb, but left-hand releasing of the notes as you play helps, too.

    Request for a song breakdown.
    Corb Lund covered it on his songs friends wrote album.
    The original is Hayes Carl and the song is Little Rock.. I found original on guitar tabs, had to codify corb's version an was a bit harder to understand.
    Anyway seems kinda easy in theory. Chords and strumming. But one version could be done acoustic other electric. Either way there is some riff fill in's I can't figure out.
    Both versions are great songs.
