[TheBeatlesCom]

Could I get the chords?

[freddym223]

@TheBeatlesCom i didn't write them down . i just played it by ear

[Mulopue]

@freddym223 Please could you me the chords of this song. I am dying to play it in church this year on Easter Sunday.

[freddym223]

hi Mulopue ! i didn't write the chords out.i just played it by ear. it's a pretty simple tune.you probably could figure it out by just watching how i played it.

[TheBeatlesCom]

If you don't mind me asking how much is that kind of guitar? And what brand is it?..

[freddym223]

@TheBeatlesCom it's an "arbor" model aj135"cheapo $250.00 no case

[TheBeatlesCom]

Taking your glasses off while you played for some odd reason made me think of church. Lol. Nice playing btw.

[freddym223]

thx TheBeatlesCom ! actually they fell off.but being the trooper that i am,i kept going."the show must go on". lol

[LONGWINDING]

I heard it again, Freddy. Now I know Brian, and yes, he´s a great player! You did a good job here, sounds very tender and warm, and interessting at the same time!

Frank

[freddym223]

hi Frank thx for listening and the nice comment !

[userfixit]

Fred... just taking a minute to relax... this is the perfect tune !

This one Wow's me every time I listen to it ! It is crystal clear and straight to the point.

Kinda rocks the Soul.

This is what I call Perfection and Artistry... my humble observation.

Thanks Amigo,

[freddym223]

many thanks for comment my good friend Edwin !

[jazzyedwin24]

Hey Freddy I went to check Lachance8, he is out of this world and a great soul.

Thank you.

[dealer205]

Freddy,

Thanks for the help, seen that lesson a long time ago! should have remembered!

[dealer205]

Hi Freddy, when you 'jazz up' a country song would you use for example instead of a simple 1 4 5 progression would you substitute for example a 2m7 5dom7 1maj7? would it still be in the key of the 1 chord either way? :-{

[freddym223]

hi Dealer ,yes to all the above.go 3:10 of lesson#6 for an example

[MarceloBatista1]

[BocaFriend]

Freddy, anyone who's had the cold weather pleasure of putting on a piece of clothing still warm from the clothes dryer, knows the sense of comfort and well-being which envelopes your listeners each

time you play for us! This is just beautiful, right

down to the phenomenal Freddy ending. Hugs ~T

[freddym223]

thx Terry,but i copied that ending from Bryan and i missed a note.i loved your last post by the way !

[BocaFriend]

But what makes you a Guitar Master is missing the right note! vbg Thanks for your enthusiasm for my

Suave offering. I'm learning by doing. But it's better

than not learning and not doing, right? Hugs. ~Terry

[Stevepat1]

Nice way to end my Sunday evening Freddy. Great playing! Thanks!

[freddym223]

Hi Steve ! thx for commenting so often !

[FUELEDbyVEGGIES]

Your tone is simply the greatest. I have made the decision that your tone has surpassed Joe Pass' in my book. Everytime I watch your videos they instantly bring a smile to my face. Keep up the good work Freddy. :)

Veggies

[freddym223]

thx for the nice compliment.and keep smiling Veggies !

[RLovell54]

Thanks for posting another beautiful chord melody. I really appreciate the privilege of learning by watching and listening to you.  This is completely beautiful!

[freddym223]

[useryug]

Yeah, woke up this morning after a strange dream in which I thought I was an artist.... now I don't know what to think ! - Trying to fix the studio here for recording tonight.... I'm not much of an engineer, that's for sure.

[JazzEthics]

Fantastic Freddy!! Too short though! Love your voicing!  Take care!

Lar

[freddym223]

thx Lar ! but i had to take wheatgerm just to get these old fingers thru one chorus !

[JazzEthics]

I know the feeling my friend... played a big 5 hour Mardi Gras gig last night and my fingers are really stiff and a bit swollen today ... Not to mention my legs and back are killing me..HA! bums me out!

[freddym223]

Mardi Graw ! wow ! take a couple days and you'll be fine,you young whipper snapper . lol

[whistlingdust]

It's a comfort in times of trouble. Jazz that is.

[freddym223]

[freddym223]

thx Jazzguts,but i just copied Brian as best i could.:-( its his harmonizing

[Jazzguts]

Man Fred let me keep quit about all the guys I stole licks and ideas from, that would be a long list man, a what the heck it's the quality of the Music it's all about,saludos Amigo.

[junka22]

Couldn't have said it better than Vic, thanks for sharing, Fred! I'm gonna have to check Brian out then :)
