Guitar Lesson 36: Like A Rolling Stone- Bob Dylan

[ergotNalkaloid]

The opening of this song is supposed to switch back and forth between C and F. So, as it's 1-2-3-4, 1-2 is a C, and 3-4 is an F. Of course, you throw a bit of swing into the changes, but it's certainly not a straight C through the entire intro.

[Tbagged0909]

anyone else notice that the video is 4:20 ?

[elfhermie]

@Tbagged0909 Ha ha ha! Ha ha HA HA HA! Oh 4:20 that's SOOOOOO friggin' funny. Huh huh huh, buh buh buh.

Man this got to be the most simple tutorial for a guitar I've ever seen! Really appreciate you.:)

[eagermcbeaver1]

i have a guitar class at school that I'm in. I had the song for a week and a half, only practicing switching chords, never heard the song until about 5 minutes ago. i have to play it tomorrow. YES.

[wiisalute]

what is a tab? 

[wiisalute]

I don't understand this. I-0-I I-1-I I-0-I? the fuck is that?

[thevulgarianz]

i do the intro C & F with the high F note suspended? i don't know shit about music & am tone deaf too!

[Apolofvfvfvfvfv]

Very good guy...

[kcuhcsniknej]

thanks. i favorited this. There are a lot of videos especially covers of this that are way off. anyway, this really helped. I really got into this song because of the Stones cover

[thevulgarianz]

@kcuhcsniknej listen to Johnny Winter's version.

[JimJimJimNL]

thats not an f chord,  since your not playing your root f, it becomes a c chord

[KeepingRockAlive]

@JimJimJimNL It is a F chord. This is because the chord still contains all of the notes in a f chord including the root. However the root is not always the lowest note in the chord, so even thought the first fingered note in the f chord is a C it does not make it a C chord. Keep Rocking

[JimJimJimNL]

@KeepingRockAlive

yea but i think it always sounds better if you play the root

[josipml5]

@JimJimJimNL Correct chord name for that would be C/F (F note being added as a bass suspension:)

[KeepingRockAlive]

@josipml5 actually it is just an f chord. this is because the note c is already in the chord F so you are simply adding another octave. So it is still just be called and f chord. Keep rocking



[JimJimJimNL]

@KeepingRockAlive

I asked my guitar teacher, he said its an "F-Chord with a C in the bass" and not a normal F, that made sense to me haha

Lol all this discussion about 1 note

[mrnikko419]

@JimJimJimNL Keeping Rock Alive is right. Sorry JimJimJim but that is definitely an F chord. And also, if you want the lowest note to also be the route note you simply fret the F on the low E string with your thumb. Even without doing this the chord is still just a regular F though.

[Popisbetterthankfunk]

@JimJimJimNL your wrong man

[CodeRed636]

We are used to the old format and i think that u should keep it that way. great lesson btw rock on

[justjunkie]

best format ever. i dont know about your old format, but the classic format, that everybody knows, closes in fingers and play slow sucks, take to long!!! your format make things easier and faster. congratulations, is a revolicionary way of video lessons online. keep this way!!!

[8manuel]

wich brand is your guitar...or anyone knows.??

[samwisemcganji]

@8manuel It looks to me like it may be a Collings. I am not sure which model but they are very nice/expensive guitars.

[inkypixel]

The New format is great, Please keep it.

Thanks

[ruudf89]

What do you mean bij bars (sorry, from Holland here:) ). Is 1 bar like 1 out of 4 counts? (If you know what I mean).

[KeepingRockAlive]

@ruudf89 in music notes are separated into bars/measures. This song is in 4/4 which means there are 4 counts in each measure. so if i say that a note is strummed for 2 bars/measures that mean that it is played for a total of 8 counts. Hope that this helped, and if not just send me a message back. Thanks and Keep Rocking

[phyrl3]

@ruudf89 1 bar is whatever the time signature is. so if the time is 4/4 then there are 4 beats per bar, etc.

[TheAndreasLee]

old is better :)

[KeepingRockAlive]

@TheAndreasLee Really? Is there anything specific about the new one you don't like? or are you just kidding? Keep Rocking

[GalacticJew42]

This way is great. Better than before. It's more cleaner and professional almost. I say keep it, its very organized and well made.

[MaiNameIsMatt69]

you really help alot

you should do sublime songs

[deathxbunny]

how did you get the tabs to appear?

[chrisekelman]

Good video,thanks.

[MrJackWaters]

Woo ive been waiting for another video :D

[gokolink]

thanks that was helpful!

[andregouveiamarques6]

i think this method may be better because you tell us wich strings we should not play in a certain chord.

btw, i'm not english and i'm a begginner at this, so oculd you tell me what a "bar" is?

[phyrl3]

hi hows it going, ive been learning alot from ur videos but I was wondering if u might do a lesson on Judas Priests Island of Domination? thanks I cant find anything on that song.

[colicona]

Me gusta esta canciòn y voy a aprenderla aunque la letra es muy dificil; gracias.
