Father & Son Lesson

[CatPerez2012]

Honestly, and no disrespect....

Play the entire song, and then go back and explain the parts...we really are not interested in all that talk at the beginning....thanks though

[freakybob13579]

Does anyone have the TABS for SOLO part after the SON's first verse. ??

[jenharp21]

yeah right.. nice nice

[lovacoustic]

Sorry my comment came off that way. I didn't take offense at all. Everyone interprets songs a little differently. I'm a go with the way it moves you kinda guy and that's why small changes like that don't always mean too much to me. If this were classical music and very rigid, I'd say differently. I appreciate you taking time to comment and thank you for doing so. Peace

[jfunique]

know how to play it exactly like him, my message wasn't to be dissing your videos, you do really good job !

cheers man and my bad , ill re syntax my future messages :)

cheers mate

[jfunique]

hi man , i think there is a misunderstanding maybe cause i am french canadian, i didn't want to correct you or anything,

i just wanted to know the exact chords, i tough you new them, really really sorry maybe my message wasn't written correctly.

i like the way you play it , i almost play the same. haha its my favorite song and i am going to see cat stevens thursday in paris i live here now, i just wanted to

[jfunique]

well actually not Dadd2 its Dsus2 with the 3rd finger on the 4th string 4th fret :) gracias

[lovacoustic]

@jfunique The way I look at it, is that songs are to be interpreted by whomever is playing them and so long as the basics of the song are in line, who cares if it's Dadd2, Dsus2, Bm etc etc etc.  I have people playing songs I wrote at gigs and could care less what they use as long as it doesn't change the song. If you like it, do it. If people want to hear something exactly the same, they need to buy the original CD. The purpose of this was to only help build a frame of reference. Thx

[jfunique]

hi guys, after watching a lot of yusufs1cats videos, like the video clip one.

he plays tuned--half step down. and plays G Dadd2 C AM, and bm for the chorus.

correct me if im wrong.. thanks :)

[ladycadaver69]

[Gordondon]

[dats21loves]

[thenicoxx14]

oh man very good tanks you this video is very good 

[mstafa10able]

its perfect

[worldabove2]

Thanks:)

[6Heureka]

Great lesson, Thanks for posting it.

[Axel15810]

thanks man for the video. I was playing the intro incorrectly, this version looks correct and it's much easier.

[musicman257]

sorry that was supposed to be taught

[lovacoustic]

@musicman257 If you want to get technical, Cat/Yusuf is really playing a C Chord. (see 1:19 of this video youtube.com/watch?v=4cpX1Zjuai­A). I mentioned in my notes that there are actually two guitars playing this song and Cat/Yusuf doesn't even play the little riff after the G to C change. The manner in which you were taught works, but in my opinion sounds thin and incomplete. Remember that this lesson is trying to do with one guitar what Cat/Yusuf is doing with two.

[musicman257]

i was taoght with g chord with hamer index finger on c note.

[GlassPike]

baldie

[lovacoustic]

@GlassPike Thank you, but that's Mr. Baldie to you

[YaS1835]

Very difficult to put across, but you did it well. Nice one mate.

[mosheasher]

i think it is D with F# on the bass (D/F#) and not Bm ...try it

[lovacoustic]

@mosheasher It is, but like I said in the video I like the Bm better because I think it adds a little more to the song. But that's my personal opinion.

[freakybob13579]

i think every one can play this song but no one plays it correct. What i play, sounds "acceptable" but i m gonna use your version from now onwards because the level of details that you have mentioned shows that you are good.

Thanks for improving me.!!!!

I wish i could have the complete INTRO RIFF _VERSE_CHORUS_VERSE SOLO VERSE

all written on one page somewhere ...

[babyboohxD]

[lovacoustic]

@babyboohxD Thanks, hope it helped Steve

[babyboohxD]

[Funderaflikka]

[plotirew]

[lovacoustic]

i don't play either song, but will take a look at them and see what I can do.

Steve

[ddogg7]

Wheres the Solo?!!! No one's posted it

[raphafou2004]

@ddogg7 i will second that, i didnt find the solo anywhere well explained. Could you post it ?

[mor742]

thanks you. it's very helpful :)

can you give us the right chords?

[lovacoustic]

Sorry i didn't get back to you. Our internet went out for a couple weeks while I waited for a new router and I completely forgot about this request. I'll try and get to it in the next week. If you hit the more info tab i do have the chords listed but not tabbed

Steve

Good thing I had a Finnish grandmother and recognized the language. Made finding the translation easier. Kiitos.

[CrocOfShit]

Nice lesson, improved my playing a lot, cheers!

[lovacoustic]

Glad it helped and your screen name isn't an indication of my teaching ability. :-)

[CrocOfShit]

Haha, absolutely not. For others maybe, but this one no.

[TopDoc85]
