How to Play "Tighten Up" by the Black Keys on Guitar

[RhetoricJak]

An on-screen chord diagram would be nice to help explain some of these perplexing chord shapes. Just a suggestion.

[austinrossi1]

I gave up when she said it's not the easiest song to play.

[dazwil]

@SkirtSoPlain

[JasmineU2]

@SkirtSoPlain agreed. I am a huge Keys fan, and I love songs like Sister, Hell of a Season, Little Black Submarines (obviously) and stuff

Like that rather than just the hit singles they play on tv shows like SNL.

[nbman89]

I feel like this isnt right.

[sk8FreakOoo]

It would help if you actually explained the shapes...

[kaostheoryx]

to amp aint right it needs to be deeper

[MrJR627]

I like the lesson but the tone is so shitty

[CynicalDutch]

do you people actually listen to what she is saying, it's wrong

[MrJihadJesus]

@CynicalDutch Tell us how it would be right then. That would be helpful.

[CynicalDutch]

@MrJihadJesus So i need to give my own lesson because i think this one sucks?

just look for this song on martyzsongs his lessons are pretty good most of the time,

cool name btw

[MrJihadJesus]

@CynicalDutch Naw, not give a lesson. Just make suggestions that might help other people out, like you did in your reply. Ill check out martyzsongs.

[PaFe94]

i wanna put a thumb up but theres no option to do that :S :/ sry :(

[MisterTibTib]

I never liked The Black Keys. I mean they totally stole from T-Rex with Everlasting Light, and I was a T-Rex fan before I heard about The Black Keys. I like some of there songs, I admit, but I still hold a grudge...

[123Superpro]

@MisterTibTib Big deal, they copied a small part for one song. That doesn't stop them being one of the best bands around.

[MisterTibTib]

@123Superpro They didn't pay in royalties or anything though, and it doesn't seem right in my book.

[123Superpro]

@MisterTibTib Eh, fair enough.I don't really mind tbh

[ritomase81]

@MisterTibTib I think at this point, there really cannot be any originality, even if you are not trying to steal from a song, it is almost sub conscious anymore. You hear a song and it sticks so much that it rings through. Almost all artists go through this.

[DontRunWithDaScissor]

@SkirtSoPlain how does people asking to learn their favorite song, just because you don't like it, mean they have no imagination. What an ignorant comment. :/

[SkirtSoPlain]

@DontRunWithDaScissor Incorrect. Everyone, of course, had to ask for the song they played on SNL they day before the release, as opposed to listening to the entire album and having imagination. Thanks for playing.

[ChordStrummers]

Wrong wrong wrong wrong! Go to Marty's page.

[Edgar33527]

@ChordStrummers what.. what do you mean?

[hollaback61694]

Could you please do "your touch"?

[VWjamz]

Yeah check Marty schwartz and learn it right!

[1234Minorthreat]

Great lesson! Do you guys have a lesson for hold me in your arms?.. My favorite from them!

[SkirtSoPlain]

All the people asking for Gold on the Ceiling and Lonely Boy have no imagination. Come on people. If you would do "Dead and Gone" (including the solo), the 2nd track from the new album, however, that would officially make you the coolest person in the world. Thanks for considering this request.

[jaliti]

That's awesome. Could you do gold on the ceiling from their latest album el camino

[adrianbenitez30]

dopeness! u know im gunna hav to show off after i learn this one <:D

[2011kody]

Go watch Marty shwartz! He's great at teaching, and has the soul and feel for it, he's crisp, less sloppy, and u can tell he really feels the music! He has a lesson video for the same song check it out

[Danimegatoon]

LOVE this song

[johnnyblowmeaway]

Boobs I mean Haha ... Stupid auto text....

[johnnyblowmeaway]

Nice goons

[locstoc72]

Thanks :) You're awesome ... such a great song!

[4rescue]

"it's my new favorite band..." as of 2011??? Wow, how heavy was that rock and how long did it take you to lift it off... This is just BAD. Your fretting hand is just all over the place and you have NO feel. Getting a dumb haircut and tattoo's does NOT make you a "rocker" sorry lady's but mosgt of you just don't have it. Stick to playing bass in the background, this sucks...

[SoulTempleStudios]

[ilikepenguins100]

[Metallical33769]
