Use Me by Bill Withers

[MrSpinny27]

By the way, I was listening while reading comments and thought my computer froze at like 1:16 and said out loud "Oh F-N what the Phhh.." and SNAP.. "TILL YOU USE ME UP!"

[MrSpinny27]

Dude, you got this song down to a T! Love the rhythm strum pattern incorporated with the bass walk! One of my favorite acoustic versions yet. Keep it up!

[McJonasthethird]

Thank you!! I enjoyed listening to it :)

[ericgaldamez]

Real nice.

[CWLTucson]

Really nice. I'll just echo all the positive comments below, and thank you for putting it on YT. :-)

You're at a party and it gets to about 3am and all the close friends are left over. You're sat around a couple of warm smouldering logs in the garden. Someone pulls out that expensive bottle of Whisky. A couple of gorgeous girls are in the hot tub and you're all chatting and laughing. then this guy gets the guitar out and plays this! Does it get any better than that?

[Mistapositivibration]

nice bro, great job

[LetItRock420]

a7 e7#9



[dando34]

this is the best cover I have seen of this song. Is there any way you could make a small lesson out of it?

[repifolla]

Groooooovy....!!



[mclanecustomshop]

Thanx for putting up this video! I watched for awhile before I figured out how you were playing it. I even made a cover based on your style (with a little of my own flair) and have it posted on my website, giving you credit for the lesson. If you're interested check it out (@ mclanecustom . com). Thanx again!

[blizakebowman]

wow...killed it! 5*

[SaltySam43]

This upload is so good that I've gained street cred just by SHOWING it to other people. Aubrey, you are a natural. Excellent, excellent work.

[5012409898]

[5963750]

[LAcruisin45]

AWESOME! This is the way Bill should play it too...SOLO!

[Sheckter88]

[kafcin]

Killing it...........

[brooklinmike1]

Wicked ! I didn't expect that . Nice playing and singing, dude !

[OHMYGORDIE]

Brilliant Mate!!

[MilamberOfTheEmpire]

Brotha - this is by far the best cover of this song iv seen so far, you got rhythm man. id love to learn this, any hints or tips please.

Nice One

[Snaglpussatgmail]

yes its an easy song but playin at this speed with vocal soul is where the work is. yeah brotha, wish it were mine too!!!

[rguthrie56]

Dude! Sweet!

[kvbrock82]

amazing, nice one!

[gvlive]

aced it. nice.

[sinebass808]

very nice. actually one of my favorites to play too. i busted out my guitar and jammed along with you!

[aubreyholman]

Thanks padna. Nice jammin with you

[MrSpinny27]

@sinebass808 Abso-f-ing-lutely! 

[guitarboytv]

great singing!

i love the guitar work too!

[bananapuddingASHLEY]

Awesome!

[MrMartz09]

Excellent and two thumbs up. What else can I say but that your version of this classic song is perhaps one of the best I've heard.

[RulaLenzka]

Wow! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I would have sworn that was played with more than one guitar! You are very talented, I am a new player and it makes me want to practice more and also to just hang it up because I'll never be that good. Great Job!

[koatele]

Nice job! The Blueridge sounds great. I just bought a BR-160CE and I have to say it's one of the best "bang for the buck" guitars out there nowadays.

[damianmengual]

Very Good!!!. Congratulations from Argentina.

[whippingboy83]

Yeah man!!!This is the best acoustic version I've found on youtube...I've made one too...but yours is better!!!Aloha

[boogryman8589]

Aubrey,

I'm a cop in Nashville. I think your the best guitar playin, singin fireman, I've ever heard. Actually, I don't think you are....I know you are. Next time your playin in Nashville, let me know so I can come see you play.

[rrrsssxxx]

nobody f&*$kin' cares that ur a cop, u douchebag!!

[boogryman8589]

good one

[willmckee]

Never even heard of Bill Withers untill two days ago and heard this song for the first time! Awesome version! Great guitar and voice. Would love to see the tab!

[myarmpit2]

this is the best amateur cover of this song that i've heard yet! Bill Withers would be impressed

[jarredon]

fucking smooth!

[aubreyholman]

DAnGGG hwnH2Oman 

I just posted the whole tabs to the groove but for some reason it didn't show up!!!!

AAAAAAAAGGGGHH!

Have to try it tomorrow... got a gig tonight..

holla.

[hwnH2Oman]

No worries, you can just email me if inclined. Its my youtube handle at m s n dotcom (incase there's some filter on youtube)

[aubreyholman]

that whole groove part is played on the top 3 strings only.. I'm just holding chord positions because it's comfortable.. The last chord where I'm using my pinky is as follows:

It's just an A major bar chord with a pinky added on the 2nd street 8th fret.

---5---------

---8---------

---6---------

---5---------

---7---------

---5---------

hwnH2Oman Post your video when you learn it.. or email/comment if you have questions..

Check-

[Mix2Gil]

@aubreyholman Oh dude, that rocks sooo smoothly....is there no way you could try to post the tabs again just for the groove?

That would be awesome!



[Dai3eb]

@aubreyholman Yeah, this a common blues chord. You can use it anywhere. It sounds amazing after a major chord.

[hwnH2Oman]

Aubrey,  what are the chords please?

[aubreyholman]

Here you go... but you aint gonna like it...

I'm just playing Emajor and A major.. except for the walk up.. The walk up is F# G to G#

now there is one chord... I'm not sure of because I play by ear and really don't know much about chords or theory...

I believe it is.. A major with an added augmented 9th or something...

I'm hitting the E string open and hammering on the 5the string from C to E

(see next comment)..

[hwnH2Oman]

Thanks man, love your version. Sounds complete even w/o the band.

[natetime]

4 sho'- nice feeeeeeel! Both guitar & voice! Actually, I love Bill, he's a legend, but I think my man here added a little more to the rhthym guitar part than what was there originally (what a cover should do: add to the original)- Chill Bill would dig it!!!

[musicman812]

smooth -- a hard song to pull off...by far one of the best covers on The Tube...on par w/ Trever Exeter and Andy Cortes. Fantastic work!
