That film blew me away when I was a little kid here in England. I'd heard "TNTDODD" but I knew nothing about Dr John so it was life changing for me & Joni Mitchell wow!!
Dude, you make it so easy to figure out. I know you put a lot of work into these and I appreciate it so much. It's like you're a friend now, showing me the way. I'm so busy at work I can never take the time to rest let alone pick these things apart. I'm very grateful for your tutlelage. Thx
Thankfully I still can learn great tunes from the best teacher on RUclips. You may be done, but you sure left a wonderful catalog. What ever you are up to. May you be blessed
Their first 3 albums are 10/10. Damn shame that they started to drift after that. Yeah their other albums are good. But them first 3 albums they proved that a band can be just as good as The Beatles.
This one is much appreciated boss . Doesn't get much better than the band . They can all play multiple instruments well and they all can sing, except maybe garth I don't think he did much singing. Number 2 in all time great bands for me , just under the Stones at number 1.
Well Robbie didn't sing much in The Band... for a good reason because Levon, Rick and Richard were incredible singers and Robbie below average being generous :-)
Your choice for lessons keeps me dedicated to your page not to mention your selection of guitars to make the songs sound as close to original as possible. I really like that J45. I had a 1956 and loved the 1 11/16 nut. Perfect size for a very young kid. I lost it to a luthier in the 70's who was supposed to do the frets but instead closed shop along with so many other people's instruments. Seeing you play it brings me a memories of a time well spent learning the basics and first chords.
Thanks Man, for doing the song from the most quintessential Americana rock and roll "The Band". The singing and musicianship of these American and Canadian talent of Robbie's writing and Garth's Mad genius, to Rick, and Richard's vocals that could call Angels down from Heaven, and also of course Levon's back beat and tonic singing made the sound of this group simply Magical! The harmony's were transcendent! Whenever you get the chance...as Oliver Twist said "Please Sir, Can I Have Some More"....lol, thank you so much!!
When I was first starting out learning the guitar, playing this song really motivated me. While you said the Dm to the Dmaj makes this song, I always loved the way the C to Fmaj7 drives the chorus. I was bored playing the standard I, IV, V progression, but then I found this song and got inspired - What Song Inspired You When You Were First Learning the Guitar?
Wow this one got past me. What a pleasant surprise. For me a new lesson from James James. Even though I played this song. I've learned a few embellishments from watching this. Love this guy's videos. Hopefully he's enjoying his life and he's okay
Agreed, love when the Dm RESOLVES to a D major, just sets up that chorus in such a powerful way. Great lesson here man, giving me some great ideas for songs to add at gigs and campfires. Keep on a rockin'.
There is weird german version of that song with lyrics about some teen going from the devils lettuce to 'trips' and syringes and finally dying. "Am tag als konnie kramer starb" is the name of that version
@@jsm3233 I know. The list of guest musicians and singers is extraordinary. Almost as good as the last waltz. Maybe my favorite concept album next to synchronicity.
woe ur right & the Dm to D Hook is not even in the orig joan biaz. also robbie opps to the Dm in place of Am.. lots of coolness addes by the Band version... thanks bro
Never new Biaz recorded it . You do know Vivian Lawrence done the original version. She recorded it when she was on the Carol Burnett show . Evidently Levon Helms and Robby Robertson liked it too .
You can bring on anything by THE BAND and I will be a happy man! I love those guys and was lucky enough to see Levon Helm not long before he left us.
Last Waltz version has got to be the definitive performance for me
In his book, Levon said that was the best performance of it that they ever did.
The horn sections make it 10x better

@@aaronmatulevich454 Yes!
House of guitars shirt and a genesee beer sign. God bless america. Big shout out to Rochester
One of my old favorites. Loved The Band.

Good to have you healed and back JJ

thanks James for this great song very cool
Thank you, JJ! Glad to see you're looking well.
Love the descending bass line on this one. A great one to rock the campfire indeed.
Awesome! I love listening to you pick.
Their first 3 albums are 10/10. Damn shame that they started to drift after that. Yeah their other albums are good. But them first 3 albums they proved that a band can be just as good as The Beatles.
Even better than the Beatles in many ways. Most of all, they sure could play live!

Your passion for the music always gets me. Thanks for this lesson. I’m going through a “The Band” phase right now.
lol same here, had to learn it, after learning the weight this was my #2
You are such a good instructor. Thanks so much for sharing your gift.
Thanks, James. I love this song. 🤗
I’m amazed and pleasantly thankful for your tastes . I barely learn or come close before jumping into another of your videos.
Beautiful song.
Great song... thanks
Great teacher, and player.
Thank you James!
Great lesson, from my favorite The Band. Thank you!
These little licks fills that you demonstrate make all the difference. I have learned so much from your vids.
Fantastic song! Thanks for showing us how.

Great Song and Cool Lesson!!!
Great band, great song and a great lesson.. Much appreciated Thanks James.
That’s great JJ. One of my all time faves. The last waltz version is etched in my mind under great times. Cheers from Oztralia
Well you sure made it look easy! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for that JJ 👍 Love the Band 👏

Thanks so much for showing how to play this song. It's a favorite. You do a first rate lesson, as always.
Thanks for the wonderful music, great lesson and great song. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤ ESPECIALLY YOU MY FRIEND, HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.
Amazing, I was just figuring that song out a few days ago.
As you often do with songs, you filled in the gaps that I didn’t know for this one, all the bits that make it fun and unique. Thanks!
Wow , just an amazing job with this tune .
WOW!!!! That J45 sounds AWESOME
Very Nice - Always enjoyed The Band, Great Job!
This is great, because I love the last waltz version, it's like he's giving his all for the last one, sounds incredible. Thanks!
This is a godsend thanks so much for making it Easy....really buzzing to hit some people with this tune...the words hang so brilliantly....✌️

Great lesson my friend ! Love Music from the Big Pink album.
The tone of that guitar is sublime
Thank you for the help on this tune. You cleared up a small change that I had missed
Very helpful and best version on youtube. I wish I could see the picking hand as well for some of the fills but I got there eventually.
Sorry, I didn't have my regular camera at the time. :)
Nice! Look forward to sitting down with this one.
Great lesson, thank you!

Nice video. The HOG t-shirt! Love it!
Great job with this dude!!
Such a great help!
Sweet! Thanks!
Thanks for the lesson. The walk downs/ups are so beautiful.
New guitar sounds good. Still hearing the rattle?
You done it well ole son, t´anks !
There is weird german version of that song with lyrics about some teen going from the devils lettuce to 'trips' and syringes and finally dying.
"Am tag als konnie kramer starb" is the name of that version
You didn't use Google translate did you?
Wow. Had it in 10. Great vid.
I love JJs lessons......
Well done, great lesson. Hope you are feeling better.
Thanks for the lesson man, super helpful
Great! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome brother
Miss your videos.
Very very nice thank you !!!
Great song
Dylan's "(Baby) Let Me Follow You Down" from that great performance is so groovy as well! Danko on bass.
Super helpful and beautifully explained. Thanks dude
So awesome
splendid!
Get Down brother🙏
awesome! Thank you!
Good job Thanks 🙏
Nice shirt! The HOG! The ROC!
I just knew he’d have a lesson on this song
Love it dude!!
Soft spot for Joan's version mostly because it made me seek out the original way back when
Good video. Thanks
Just picked up the "New Barbarians" book by Rob Chapman. I advise you (JJ) and all Stones fans to check it out. Wonderful photos...and t-shirts!
That is one tight sounding Gibson. J45? Excellent job as always!
James James is my name and I'm playing my guitar again.....
I love those one note changes
D minor to D major
It’s the little things
If you want to play along with Manuel's piano chords on the descendant chromatic part between the two final refrains: C G/B Bb F/A Ab C/G D/F#
Thanks
Cheers mate 👍
I have the same guitar 2019 version. What strings do you like?
Hey thanks! ❤
How would one go about sending a t shirt to you? I see no process for direct messaging on RUclips.
had to click for the house of guitars shirt
Haha yes that D major!
Sophie B Hawkins also does a version of this song. Hers is mainly vocal & piano.
James- what do you think of Robbie's solo stuff? I really like storyville and music for the native Americans.
I love his first solo album, but I haven't really kept up since then.
Storyville is an incredible album, start to finish, every song is amazing.
@@jsm3233 I know. The list of guest musicians and singers is extraordinary. Almost as good as the last waltz. Maybe my favorite concept album next to synchronicity.
woe ur right & the Dm to D Hook is not even in the orig joan biaz. also robbie opps to the Dm in place of Am.. lots of coolness addes by the Band version... thanks bro
Hows your arm. It looks fine 🤟
Just love the dm to dmaj
Hey James, thank you very much!
Can’t see your strumming hand. Can you help me w the strumming pattern??
Never new Biaz recorded it . You do know Vivian Lawrence done the original version. She recorded it when she was on the Carol Burnett show . Evidently Levon Helms and Robby Robertson liked it too .
No, Robbie wrote this song. You’re thinking of Vicky Lawrence, and her song was The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.
FLUSH
Great lesson for a brilliant song.
HEY, I KNOW THIS DUD !!! at 1:24 is that a G/ C chord
Hey man what kind of strings do you use?
I don't really pay much attention to strings. These are probably just regular lights.
