@Muddellodo i thought so too. it's like the same song

[Muddellodo]

@mmmaxmmm83

i guess we learned 2 songs for 1. the order of the chords remind me of another song also, but i cant remember it.

[bladewcw]

Lol Britney?

I tought it was Paco.

[MajorTom18]

Did he just throw his phone on the floor? Lol, awesome.

[reaverbrook]

great teacher, try to have some enough sleep , you looked tired in this video.

[montejano760]

Omg! U messed up the words lol. I jus had to say it cuz I noticed u stopped mentioning it in the beginning of ur vids. Great tutorial btw :)

[Shruikan85]

Hey awesome video! About the strum pattern I've been playing it 1 2 + + 4 +. That's is what it looked like, but I'm really damn new. Haha. Thanks for the help and keep making videos!

Side note if anyone hasn't gotten the E-Book you should, its a steal for only $10! It'll help you a lot.

[tiagonair]

really nice video

[Montaro1983]

Great vid as always...rock ong SAGE!! :)

[privatepaige]

you are a great!

[ViolentRiC]

# When the night....has come... #

That's all keep thinking of...

Another fine lesson, also.

[sexybethizit09]

i think i love you XD

[Diligo123]

Im pretty sure that basic chord sequence is Stand by Me? :o just capo'd on a different fret :)

Good tutorial btw :)

[HOUNDDAWG]

@Diligo123 You're right of course. In fact about a million tunes used the one-six-four-five progression especially in the '50s and '60s.

Songs like "LAST KISS" by J. Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers, "Angel Baby" by Rosie & The Originals, "Goodnight, My Love" by Paul Anka, etc. Many popular songs substituted an A minor (which is the relative minor to C Major, 1, 6, 2-, 5. C6 is identical to A min7, G6 is E Min7, etc.,.) It's the same melody whether you're using the C (4 maj) or A minor (2-).

[BladerOfHawk]

You should totally do a cover of this song ;3

[sidbarret123]

oooooooo nice guitar!

[hineighbor]

I mean chord progression. 

[hineighbor]

Same strumming pattern as Ben E. King's Stand by Me!

[olfikpl]

woot no lefty at last!

[JohnRockwell]

Love your stuff. That Gibson acoustic sounds nice. Even though I'm not a Gibson acoustic fan.

[mystro810]

when the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we'll see...

[PatrickINcident]

You're legitimately my favorite guitar teacher from youtube. And i've used a lot including GuitarTutee and Guitar Jamz (Marty Schwartz). On monday on my way back from school, I am definetly stopping at a duane reade to buy an amex gift card so i can download your e-book.

[yourguitarsage]

@PatrickINcident Thank you my friend. That means a lot to me. Comments like that that keep me doing what I am doing.

[HOUNDDAWG]

@yourguitarsage Another great vid, Erich.

My sister (who's an actual dwarf by the way) said, "yourguitarsage is kewl. I'd like to go up on him!"

[yourguitarsage]

@HOUNDDAWG HAHAHAH!!!!! You are ridiculous!!!

[HOUNDDAWG]

@yourguitarsage Ridiculous, you say? Itz twoo itz twoo!

[TheTroj4e]

more playing,less talking 

[krazyrocker82]

.. now the question is,do you really know Brittany Spears?

[irishryno2000]

Love the information, but I couldn't get past the fact you look like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds. Probably the beard and mussed hair.

[PatrickINcident]

@irishryno2000 I actually thought Dane Cook before the buzz cut

[Uhhxhi]

I want to get married to someone like this, as creepy as that is.

Nonetheless, I looooved this tut. Super easy and awesome.

[yourguitarsage]

@Uhhxhi Thank you? Creepy?

:)

e

[guybush]

@Uhhxhi hey i am more creepy, you can marry me. btw congrats yourguitarsage :)

[amber8101]

HAHA! Lots of people think it's a love song.. IT AIIIIN'T! You are awesome! That is all.

[cosmin5678]

you're awesome!

[TheINfamousrocker]

U mustve been either drunk or overly joyed while making this vid, awesome once again!

[Michiganborn1969]

Wow! I never knew this song was written about ether a stalker or a killer. I would have thought the Police song "Murder by Numbers" would be a killer song lol.

[yourguitarsage]

@Michiganborn1969 No, murder by numbers is about painting. Just kidding, that one is about death too.

[Bluebuthappy182]

@Michiganborn1969 It is about the break up between sting and his first wife. I guess he wasn't happy about it.

[sk8ters4life10]

i always thought u looked like david cook

[djavocard]

sage,

how do you find the chords to the song? I mean how did you find the base note in a fragment of notes?

[yourguitarsage]

@djavocard By ear and listening to the song. Ebook 1 shows you how identify chords by the bass note.

[djavocard]

@yourguitarsage

Do I have to purchase Ebook1 or is it free to download? You website talks of purchasing?

[CribbsCLS]

@djavocard / Ye you need to buy It for like 10dollar but its worth It :) I promise

[HOUNDDAWG]

@djavocard Ear training comes with practice. After years on the road I can turn my back to your guitar or piano and tell you any note or chord you hit. And my genius piano player in L A could hear every note if I laid my open hand or forearm across his keyboard. In one hour I taught my bass player son how to identify intervals once I gave him the starting note, such as C for instance. He can hear the minor or major 3rd, 4th, flat or augmented 5th, etc, once he's given the starting note.

[djavocard]

@HOUNDDAWG

Thanks for those nice info. Is it possible for you to upload few session on how you did the training? I know this aspect cannot be taught over the internet and one has to dedicate himself here and of course, ear training is not easy. But what i am asking for is ideas :).. may be your inputs might help many of us figure out a pattern or practice routine and will help identify chords/notes to some extent.

[HOUNDDAWG]

@djavocard Here's an idea.

Everyone knows TAPS (the bugle song) and it's the 5th below the root, the root (the 1st and the 8th steps and the octave of the diatonic scale) the 3rd and the 5th above. If you train yourself to hear the notes of TAPS and in other songs, then when you hear those notes you'll know what the intervals are. Then take the song PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE. The bass plays A and B♭ (the Maj7 and the tonic) and then the "minor blues" 3rd (D♭) and back to the root. B♭.

[HOUNDDAWG]

@djavocard Continuing, if you learn to recognize the 5th below and above the keynote and the major 3rd (TAPS) and the maj7 below and the minor 3rd above the root (PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE-bass INTRO) you'll be well on your way to ear training. Get someone to play them and tell you what they are, then when they're played again you name the notes and intervals they represent! One hour lesson!

[zoncalax]

niceee

[zoncalax]

nica, 

[huds1223]

same cords as stand by me?

[Tsuppee]

sounds like stand by me

[SupaTROopa2]

@Tsuppee Haha I know, I can't unhear and it's hindering my ability to play it :P

[Kellerspinne]

I don't like those number charts ._. I have trouble reading them...

[yourguitarsage]

@Kellerspinne Do you have the ebook? Taking a bit of time to know it will revolutionize how you think on the guitar.

[Kellerspinne]

@yourguitarsage Yes, I do. I have the first one and now the upgrade. And I understand the system. But it's really hard for me to read.. Guess I just have to practice it ^^.

[MrBenjo2000]

you look very tired like you just left your bed haha ^^

[yourguitarsage]

@MrBenjo2000 I did! My studio is 10 feet away from my bed.

[MrBenjo2000]

@yourguitarsage XD you won't believe it but my Marshall VS 30 and my Gibson Les Paul are also 10 feet away haha ^^ by the way greetings from beautiful Austria :D

[LOKIUNCIA]

I always thought that this song would be the perfect FBI Stake Out Song, or Stalker Song. :P guess i was half Right.

[thiefsjoerd]

Haha, I think your phone fell on the ground:) Anyways, great lesson!

[xFannelli]

Britney Spears? Can you PLEASE give me her number? :'D

[Hiddosch]

Who is texting me?

[safenders]

This sounds just like the song Stand by me so it's like learning two songs at once

[ThePupD]

05:11 MINOR?

Minor? I hardly knew her!

[emarks33]

glad we are back to right handed guitar... trying to play my guitar upside down (lefty) was not working so well...hahaha

[emarks33]

Spears love the Sage...... Winning!!

[Georg1986]

Its about a Stalker not a murder, Sting was thinking about Big Brother, control and stuff when writing it...he said in an interview that its from the point of a stalker hunting a girl and that he hates it when people use it for their weddings

[yourguitarsage]

@Georg1986 DOH!! Yes, stalker not murdered. Thanks for the correction.

[Georg1986]

@yourguitarsage no need to thank :) you rock!

[agrevane]

Your number chart does not have what key it is in. Lucky the vid tell you its in g.

[fikrinyo]

awesome 

[pilgrimpater]

So what IS your favourite Police record. I'm tending towards "Wrapped around your finger" but don't ask me why.

[TheSimZ3]

[DPAAA21]
