hey dude, it's called a 'capo' and you should get one, although you don't necessarily need it for this. it changes the pitch of a song to better suit your singing range. please note that i use the word 'pitch' with absolutely no authority. good lesson!
great vid ive always loved this song really clear and proffessional lesson. 5/5 PS i cleared a whole album to fit this vid on my PSP - that's how much i liked it! :P
thanks dude for your patient type of lesson-i always wondered how that song really went.i have heard it a million times but never got it down just right i play bass but like to play guitar with my grandson best to you
I just started a week ago and was taking 1 and 2 fingers off when I played the g. The I was lookin down and saw I only needed to pull off 1 and put down 4. That was a huge help hah
Thanks for posting this lesson. I'm having so much fun playing along with you! Have you seen the documentary "Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten"? It just opened here in NYC; excellent film!!
It's a documentary about Joe Strummer from The Clash. The film footage chronicles Joe's life from his boarding school days, through his time with The Clash and up to his last, more mature band, The Mescaleros. It's an interesting and captivating documentary if you're a music buff in general and a definite "must see" if you're a Clash fan. Merry Christmas!!
Thank you very much for posting this. There is not much help out there "helpless" players like myself, and you have made this song very accessible. Thank you very much. I hope you will post more lessons when you have a chance.
Again thank you very much.
BTW, I have watched your other "performance" viddies, and have enjoyed them very much. Look forward to more. Thank you again.
That was great! Can you do a lesson on something by Buddy Holly? Like Peggy Sue or Not Fade Away? They both have pretty cool strumming and some cool quick chord changes. Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for this great lesson! I`ve just wondering :) Regarding to your accsent I guesss you may know some Pogues songs :) Could you teach us? That would be a blast!
Hey thanks man, you're a great teacher. You give the all important details. 5stars
