Just saw Jethro Tull at the Greek last night and had to learn this song. After so many years of listening to it, I can finally play it. Thanks for the great lesson!
You're a great teacher man! I tried this song on another youtube video, the other guy played slow, but never took the time to detail each note and chord like you do, I was pulling my hair out trying to see what he was playing..thanks a million!!
I only had 2 characters left on last post but, yes, I know that chord is difficult to play until you get used to it. It literally took me a few years of playing to where I can hit that just as easy as any other chord. It's also found on the song Plush by Stone Temple Pilots. If you want to cheat, you can just make a standard bar chord starting at the 5th string and 6th fret. It's like when you make a D bar chord but just slide it one chord up.(in the direction of the pickups for you novices).
Something didn't sound right at 6:42 of this video. That's where the song would say the word "flowers". The song says "And the flowers bloom like madness in the spring" At that very word in the song, it should be a D# Major. Since the original song uses a capo, you can do it without one by barring all strings on the 3rd fret with the index finger, 2nd string/4th fret(middle), 4th string/5th fret(ring) and 5th string/6th fret(pinky). You would go back to a Gm chord again on the word "madness".
I am learning guitar and I never post comments, but you are a great guitar player and an amazing teacher. Thanks so much. I picked up most of the song in a very short time. Thanks!!
This is actually from a series of VHS videos called SongXpress, and they're all pretty much the same quality. Taught very well and explained really well for the most part. Go look up the videos to buy if you want, though I haven't seen many places online, mostly just guitar shops. I've found maybe 13 or 14+ VHS tapes they have, with usually 4 songs on each one. Some videos are by this guy (Tommy Anthony) and some are by another guy.
