No Rain Tab Blind Melon A Major Guitar Scale

[MrAJdude57]

is this video availiable on acoustic too?

[3waffle3]

second day evar playing guitar can play the whole thing

[234cane]

Wow, The best lesson for playing No Rain.

That Guitar is pretty sharp. I almost bought one like it. But I am just a beginner and just wanted somethiing that I could learn on and if I stick with it then the expensive guitar.

[MrRockmeister1]

It seems to me that this song is resolving to E in spite of the fact that it is in the key of A. The 5th almost acts like the root. Neil Diamond used this kind of thing too.

[GuitarMusicTheoryTab]

@MrRockmeister1 You are correct. This is actually E mixolydian mode (as I explain later in the video lesson).

[tikipuliki]

[edwinmusic]

Great Job! Great Teacher! 

[Kersenblik]

you have a little fault.

[thewatcher416]

Excellent! Thanks!

[puchitopiover2]

Can you explain how you knew the song was in the key of E? I don't understand how the song, being in the key of E allows you to play an Amaj scale. Sorry I am new to music theory.

[GuitarMusicTheoryTab]

@puchitopiover2 As explained in the video, the notes and chords used in this song stem from the A major scale. That's why you play A major scale patterns over it. But in this scale, it's the fifth degree E functioning as the root. When a song revolves around the fifth degree in a major scale it's called Mixolydian mode. I teach all this in my guitar theory books and DVDs.

[01msjen]

wow.. just one night, i can play it now

[theoriginalMaxman2]

omg this guy is awesome i wish he were my dad hahaha

[VTAnthony]

[mialaw31]

Thanks very much, you are an excellent teacher. I am going to buy your book!

[jamespotts45]

good instruction. i purchased your guitar theory ebook. lots of good info. i will use it in conjunction with your youtube demos i think

[GuitarMusicTheoryTab]

Yes, definitely use in conjunction. I put these videos up here for that purpose.

[hunchdrunk]

Excellent! Great job. Forgot this gem was out there.

[whaleinsmallbathtub]

i practice on accoustic and its hard to play real high on the second string, i play this song on the first string starting with the fith fret and sliding up to the seventh. figure out the rest yourself man. but could you make the video using my method so your not so high up on the second string? i need to learn this song.

[Yangusburger]

not really.

[whaleinsmallbathtub]

it is, because its hard to slide on the frets that are on the flat.

[Yangusburger]

Thats true

[BCt0xiN]

you just have to -5 frets when you move it up a string, it's just a matter of relearning it in the position you want

[Roman500bc]

cool

[jbnawrocki]

Very clear instruction. If possibly in future videos, I would like it more if you could to tell us what type of amp settings you are using...preset or otherwise. Thanks for the lesson!

[GuitarMusicTheoryTab]

Can't remember the settings. Using a line 6 Pod Pro.

[skategrey]

[shaunbarney]

Very cool! Good stuff. I don't really understand "theory" but I like learning. Thanks brother.
