Don't dream its over. Guitar Lesson. Frank Falvo.

[asotolp]

Frank, you gotta love a guy like you that is so dedicated to helping people learn. I love your enthusiasm as well! I am playing a gig tomorrow and I knew this song already, but it's been so long since I played it and needed a refresher. I checked out your video and caught up right away. You know how it is, if you don't play a song for a long time, it's to get right away! Thanks mate!

[splitneyboria]

For a beginner it's difficult, you don't show us the chords! I don't know what D9 is and I can't seem to find it on my iPhone app. Shame!

[asotolp]

@splitneyboria, friend we were all beginners at one time. If Frank is going to fast, it's not really because he's going to fast or not explaining enough. As beginners, we never consider that there is simply too much info coming at one time. After you have been doing this for a while, you will hear a guy like Frank speak and you will get it all right away. It's been months since you posted this, but if you're still having trouble, I would telling you to concentrate on chords and scales.

What tuning is that guitar in?

[mydirtyturban69]

beautiful guitar

passion alright, sounds like this is your life, thank you so much for not only a great lesson but for showing what great things playing the guitar can bring, never stop with your inspiring spirit frank, thanks a lot :)

[mydirtyturban69]

beautiful guitar

[vetralaivas]

excellent lesson

[MsGuitarChicky]

Great lesson thanks

[MrNostalgiaX]

OMG this is the easiest approach to the song that sounds amazing! Thank you Frank. I love you aussies! Hell, the woman I'm in love with is from Australia too! Just another reason why it's an amazin country. God bless your talent and humbleness. Take it easy and one day not too far from now, I will post a video of me singing this song thanks to your tutelage. I'll credit you greatly. Now I"ll be more than just a singer with this song. God bless!

[C33Four]

I like this guy, but my personal analysis is different. In the key of Eb

Intro - Ebadd9

Verse Eb - Cm - Ab - G7: Repeat.

Chorus Ab - Bb - Eb

The reason this song is so great is because it takes the EXTREMELY overdone chord progression I vi IV V (possibly most famous in Stand By Me by Ben E. King) and focuses on its relative minor. Therefore beginning on the I, but continuously cadencing on the vi (with the V7/vi occurring as a phrygian cadence). This gives the song a melancholy feel throughout.

[Chuckiewannakookie]

G'day from Sydney! :) Thanks for the lesson

[soulfuck9]

Good job!

[Tre404]

LOL.... he's the Billy Mays of guitar tutorials!! :-)

[Tre404]

Love the effort and enthusiasm, but you need to tune the instrument just a mite...

[xraandy]

el qlo bueno pa hablar wn mucho bla bla y poca explicacion wn

[scottreinigerlover]

I wish there was an instruction video for this song on the Trumpet. That's the instrument I play. I just love this song and would like to see a trumpet video for it.

[dariotroussel]

exelente che...muy buen material.

[mate1410]

jajaja!! muy bueno pero por faa mucho blablabla tocaa quieres !!

lol its good but please dont speak .. play the guitar its much better xD!

[brophmantube]

[themysticknight]

[twalter]

Thats Jupiter Florida...USA

[twalter]

Dude thanks from Down under. Thanks also for the pep talk as far as keeping disciplined at playing the guitar. I play for a while stop and have a problem keeping at it. If your ever in Jupiter Fla. let me know and I will buy you a beer! Thanks bud!

[kriteri]

joder tio ke pesado!!para de hablar y toca!!!

[exionem]

I learned this song some time ago because I wanted to win a charming girl´s heart. I love this song but the problem is that the pitch in order to sing is TOO HIGH and I can´t reach it ( I think the majority of the people can´t sing as high as Mr. Finn) Any recommendation or advice on what lower chords to use in a lower key ?

Than you and greetings from COSTA RICA !!

[themysticknight]

you know though if she was worth it shed think it was cute whether you sang it on a different key or not.

[a55kiker]

Just an idea. What if you kept the same chords but lowered your singing one octave. You would still be in the key and would sound good.

[Jetsongchannel]

This is not a vocal lesson. But it is to give you a indication of the sequence of chords in "Dont Dream it's Over" . It's more for guidance. You can lower a octave but has not the same effect. I will be releasing a EP soon. If you want vocals you will get it here. Cheers. FF

[a55kiker]

I was replying to a comment from "exionem." I wasn't refering to your video. The song "Don't dream its over" sounds much better with the bar chords in my opinion, that is how it was originally played. The open chords don't sound quite the same.

[tglok]

like your enthusiasm mate.. keep up the good work

[jimydaz]

wicked video mate, love your enthusiasm! Just wondering if you would post the chords as a message so I know I'm getting them just right! Thanks a lot dude,

JD

[swalk82]

Great lesson, am just having trouble with F sharp 4 and F sharp 4/7. Can you explain tab.

[Jetsongchannel]

Swalk82 thanks for sub'ing man. These are both Bar chords, and if you are only just starting out, will be a challenge. Rewind the video, take it slowly. Finger the strings as noted, as i have clearly explained the finger positioning. The challenge is getting Bars down correctly. This will be our focus for the next lesson. The song will be the America classic "Sister Golden Hair".

KP. FF

[minthagyi]

mate,thanx 4 sharing this!my playing has been a little dull lately due to lack of inspiration and motivation..but,tonite you motivated my spirit to fall in love with my beloved guitar all over again..CHEERS,Mate..!

[vissenmethanno]

[habdon]

thanks buddy great lesson.yor the best.love your passion.lota darn f chords here but iam getting through it pretty good my Aussie friend.

[commandomike59]

Great lesson! thanks d00d.

[rmonroe]

Passion that is the word, all the great ones play with it Angus,Townsend,Jimi. keep it come'n.

[fms72]

your chords are kind of difficult for beginners to play ... may i suggest that to play the same starting with da c chord

[HSMartens]

I love your attitude, Man! Nice, easy to follow, and passable version of the song for beginners and intermediates. People need to learn a song to start loving to play guitar, and that is what you are spreading around. It's not rocket science, is it? Having fun and expressing yourself through a song, whether is a cover, original, or whatever... That love, that's life, and that's the pursuit of happiness. Thanks Neil!

[assalamoualaikum]

Crowded House is a kiwi band!

[abitpants]

Neil and Tim are Kiwis, but there were also Aussie members, such as Paul Hester, and it was formed it Melbourne, so really, what does that make it? It's a very universal band and I love the fact that such a great band came from this part of the earth. Whoever says we don't produce good music has got rocks in their head. :P Love Crowded House!

[Tfarewell4]

You're a great guitarist. Thanks for the video.

[mandy180888]

Congratulations!!!! Your explanation is clear to me!! you help too mcuh, especially with the strumming. Bye

[sj122s]

thank you so much for the explicit chord changing lessons... you are very helpful to all of us that want to learn to play the guitar... god bless you

[jbyrnes55]

Dude, I have stopped and started this feed a hundred times...my wife is ready to kill me! But, the song is starting to come together. Wow, thanks again! Jon Byrnes, Dallas, TX.

[Jetsongchannel]

hahahha Go get em man! Glad the Mrs is understanding! This is what i am talking about. Excellent feedback!. If you get a chance, get a good teacher for some one on one teaching. To much on your own on the internet, can be hard. Good luck Jon.

FF

[jbyrnes55]

I learning on my own through the internet; your lesson was just what I needed. I like the explanations, keep them coming. Jon from Dallas, TX.
