What always amazes me in these lessons is how different the guitar parts sound when they get isolated. Sometimes the guitar barely sounds like the recording. Just when I think I understand a guitar song, 12 Foot Chain is here with to gives peek behind sound engineer’s panel! 😅
Thanks a lot for this great explanation of this nice peace of good old music, what brings back so many good feelings, so far, far away! 🥰 Greetings from Germany 🤟
If for no other reason (and this guy is a very good teacher) watch this vid for an enlightening discussion of the meaning of "pompetus" -- and in "the pompetus of love..."
@@12footchain if you listen to his many live performances of the Joker on Wolfgang’s vault they blow the studio version away. For example the beacon theatre NYC may 7, 1976
I never got to the slide part before thanks for that! I had never gotten past trying to play it and sing it at the same time…..out of all of the songs I play I still have more trouble with that song than any other…..
I think maybe he was shooting for “poumpousness” with Pompatous ! The former being a real word 😁 great job . I work with this guy who always sings it in E, I just play a slide part in standard its not exact but it works…a wah helps a lot to get the tone!
Nice work. For practical purposes when playing this with a band, it also works well to just use a standard tuned acoustic with a capo on 3…as for the slide, you nailed it. Open E (or F) is the way to go. I prefer to use an Open E guitar, but put a capo on F, this allows the electric to do some of those parts you mentioned for that 2nd acoustic, especially during the chorus.
This is the Pompatus of guitar lessons. Thanks

Top shelf stuff here, I definitely learned how to play this song. And will add it to my list for songs I can play. Peace
Always loved Steve Miller and still do. Great tutorial 12Ft ♪♫♪♫♪

Pink Floyd’s “Dogs” is in the same tuning. Epic tune! 👍🏻🎸🤘🏻
Pompatus is a word used when you didn't think up "sussudio."
Bwaahahaha
Which part does Steve Miller play live? since parts are in different tunings
Nice attempt on the slid3. Pretty close
???? He nailed them 99.9%!
@BeatlesCentricUniverse no one will.match the recorded line. Not even the original musician
@@halcooper3070 I get that. But he was incredibly close.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse it was meant entiry.as a compliment
Pompetutes
Better yet, don't!
