I guess I'm a beginner but I don't get the strumming pattern. Is it all down down down or it's up/down up/down up/down? I'll appreciate if anyone that knows it to tell me.
hey Frank thanks so much for your patience. you are an awesome teacher & musician. I know your very busy but could you find the time to do a lesson on Kenny Wanye Shepard's Blue on Black. Thanks Again & keep on ROCKIN
hi frank!!!! hello from costa rica,,,so far i ve watched all your videos and i love them all,,,thank you mate for posting and teaching,,,you have a gift and its really nice that you share it!!! god bless you!!
i found that it sounds good if you play the verses fingerpicked alternating between the bass note and two other strings.....makes it more like the original piano version
you're funny. thanx for the lesson. now teach me to play wonderful world and let there be peace on earth. then when you wish upon a star. three songs i'd like to add to the repertoire. still enjoy. even one would be nice
very nice...only a couple of small corrections i would make after playing along with the original record:
1) on the chorus, after the Cmaj7, you hammer on back to a c before going to the e chord. so the chorus goes f,g,c,Cmaj7,c,e,e7.
2) if you are trying to match exactly the record, you have to tune your guitar down about a half step because the recording is actually much closer to the key of b than c.
3) on the verses, i personally prefer just an f barre chord instead of the fmaj7.
Sorry, you may be a good teacher, but you build it wrong! You are showing the chords like i've never seem them, but you think we will be able to know the strumming and all that?
Well i already knew the chords, but didn't understand how to strum!
I've tried everything to print the tab for this song from your site..but whatever I try, it comes out fuzzy and unreadable..did anyone have any luck printing..? If so...how'd you do it?
Thanks for the lessons Frank..you make learning fun :)
great mann!! love the way u teach...well, i saw other videos of urs...well it seems u play with left and right hand guitars...thats really good...but once more can u do father and son again with right hand guitar...would be good..but i hope...its universal ..and it is easier that way...hope that fine and u won't mind it....cya
g day frank mate the lesson is great i was have a real bad time learning the guitar but since i found you and your lessons its been great my family and friends now say i sound like a guitarist and i have to thank you for that mate take care from big g in edinburgh scotland
I reccomend that the little riff is a hammer on. It sounds better.
Also you are doing a cutdown version of the song. You are missing important base notes as well as filling notes. It is good for beggeners but not anything above that.
Hey, thanks for posting this. I can still remember where I was when I heard John Lennon had been killed. This song still brings tears to my eyes and I've wanted to learn it that long.
Remember it is a Cmaj7 and not minor in the verse as per the video, but i think you meant that anyway! A "G" also after the slash chord G/B. I remember that day :-( ....it was just AWFUL. You need more than a bullet to shut out Johns great work.
hey dude i cant thank you enough. you dont know how long i have been wanting to play this song. i will master it and make sure to give props to you when i play for friends at the beach.
