TheStar.com: Sloan's Jay Ferguson on how to write a song

[tesserzz]

FERGUSON'S FRIDGE!

Jay rules.

[latejulymusic]

It's funny that he holds up Bookends by S&G at the end because the chords / capo he's playing a couple time throughout the video sounds just like the intro to "old friends"

@latejulymusic

I thought the exact same thing...

[nearfantastica]

Jay Ferguson's got to be one of the friendliest people I've ever met. Always goes out of his way to be nice to fans and have conversations with them. Go Sloan!

[Xguitar13]

Jay you rock!!!

[TheGregariousOne]

cool

[whotles]

Nothing wrong with the song "I'm Down".

[MauryDann73]

It's pretty funny that he showed Simon & Garfunkel's "Bookends" LP at the end of the video, because the first two chords of his chord pattern are the first two chords of "Old Friends" -- from S&G's..."Bookends" LP!

"talent borrows....genius steals"

Amaj7th to Fmaj7th no?

[MauryDann73]

I'm not positive about the first chord, but the second chord, yes it's Fmaj7th

[winstonknowall]

he says these chords are borrowed then he shows where he borrowed them from, if not the song directly at least the artist.

[jeffkahl]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that! :D

[MauryDann73]

[uniko509]
