[twst1]

@tonedr i've never heard of that guitar. i was just gonna comment that i've never much liked LP studios, but that sure is a pretty finish, then i noticed the inlay and this comment.

[tonedr]

they are fairly new and a small company as well. Hope all is good my friend,

dale

[camlpg]

I play classical guitar as well as electric , i noticed that hold your instrument in the classical position when playing, do you also play classically ? I enjoy your lessons very much, thanks for the help.

[tonedr]

wouldn't consider myself a classsical player, but do play a good bit of fingerstyle and this position seems to the best for me.....thanks so much for watching!

Totally impressed with both your skills and ability to share some of that knowledge. What a great classic tune with (dare I suggest) that disco/funk strumming that really makes it a fun tune to master. Thanks to you, I've just about done that. Cheers!

Thank you, I had to get this together in a hurry and this helped a great deal. Yours is the best lesson I found and your chord voicing spot on.I used to play this back in the day as a bassist but now I'm on six string duties. Nice guitar btw-beautiful polished finish.

Hey tonedr... I have a request. Could you please do a lesson on funk 49 by the james gang? Thanks!

[tonedr]

great tune - appreciate the request and i'll sure consider it! Thanks for watching,

dale

[tonedr]

thanks for watching sir!

[loveguitars]

Hey Dale,

Excellent Lesson

[tonedr]

hello friend - sure appreciate you watching!

dale

[whitato1]

one of the first I learned. I notice you play the fuller chords (except for the signature intro and the one you point out). I use the "higher barre" chrods. But I like the way my buddy and I could play this with the full barres you show. I love the little riff, which you do perfect. Great chops! I also like your flame top Acoustic Electric. Mine is a 64 Gibson ES120, which looks like its been through the mill and what I learned on. What make and model is your guitar if I may ask?

[tonedr]

thanks for taking your time to watch! Sounds like you have a KILLER guitar sir - i'd love to see it. The guitar is a Collings 360 - it has mini humbuckers which i've never had before. All the best with your music,

dale

[denman1953]

great job, dale, on a doobies' classic! precise, concise, & cool, man! Now if only I could come close to their vocals...NOT! lol

peace bro,

den

[tonedr]

hello Denny! I'm never even going to dream of their vocals - you however got the chops sir! Thanks for stopping by,

dale

[elevn7]

Well, I was wondering if we were gonna see a a lesson for this one but I didn't want to jinx it by saying anything.

I always wondered where you go after that 1st chord. Now I know.

If I could give you 6 stars I would because this lesson is beyond Awesome. ;)

As always, thank you so much for taking the time.

[tonedr]

hello friend! This post alone made the video more than worth doing - your kind words are very appreciated! Happy pickin,

dale

Thanks Dale, I've always wanted a good explanation of how to play this song that has always eluded me.

[tonedr]

how this video helps some - sure appreciate you watching! All the best sir,

dale

[mattb4rd]

Lot's of fun, simple easy listening vocal harmonies in this one too. The little acoustic sounding groove from the second guitar sets the head to "bob" also.

Good stuff as always Tonedr!

[tonedr]

Pat Simmons work was just amazing - often understated but so about the song. Sure appreicate you stopping by - all the best,

dale
