Matt Cross - I Heard it Through the Grapevine How-to / Chord Melody

[ochrasysartist]

awesome! is there any way that you could post some tabs for the fingering?

[matthewcross]

@ochrasysartist nope ;) not gonna happen. Glad you like the video, though. Use the chord tabs at the beginning, watch the video a few times, and use your ear. Learning to do it with your ear will do a lot more for you than the paint-by-number approach.

@ochrasysartist

The fingering is clearly visible...what more do you need ? Watch the clip and try it out - takes a few minutes and it's clear and gives you more than learning stupid tabs.

[thermophille]

you look like the white version of katt williams

[matthewcross]

@thermophille haha cool, thanks. Katt rules.

[carot2003]

Great finally found a good one with out a capo. Thank you very very much Matt..

[matthewcross]

@carot2003 Glad you like it! Please post your own version as a video response to my video. I'd love to see it.

[Eliasthai]

ccr´s sounds as good as yours! I will learn how to play this song!

[JohnnyHorton]

really good, thanks!

[anniefaiella]

You're cute. Just thought I'd let you know.

[rudigersch]

You know what? I did! I just spent a couple of hours with your video (and one or two others, including the extraordinary Andy Brown's version) and did it. Ended up staying with Dm because it's that little bit easier for my voice, but used your chord shapes and it's sounding halfway there. Thank you again.

[rudigersch]

I happened upon an attempt at this great song last night, using a Dm shape for the opening chords and picking about 3 strings... Very bad, but it is *such* a great song that it sounded OK. Now I've discovered your video and been inspired to start again and get it right. I'm having a hard time figuring out the chords but it is such a great song that I'm determined to get there. Thank you!

[matthewcross]

@rudigersch you can do it!.

[hootchieman5]

@matthewcross

hey mat

how many bars do you play for each chord ? it would really help out

thanks man

[Iqbaldinho]

@rudigersch yeah I'm in the same boat as well - so damn difficult gave up a long time agao -thank you @mathewcross gonna try it again

[TopJimmyWinn]

This song is done in so many keys, which key is the best?

[matthewcross]

@TopJimmyWinn This is in Eb minor (with a hint of Eb major on the C minor chord). I don't think there is a best key, personally - if you learn the structure, you can play it in any key. unfortunately, this video is not much of a structure lesson ;)

[blranch8]

Matt, Thanks for the lesson. After picking this up from your lesson, I played an acoustic version at a local coffee shop. You can check it out on my channel if you would like to the see the fruits of your generosity.

Thanks again, great lesson.

[MrQT]

you've definitely got soul ;-)

[santiv33]

questioon! i cant figure out the creedence version solo ... by any chance you happen to know it?

[spudinskie1]

that great thanks mate. 

[cheezervvvvv]

Clear,concise and pretty much on the money.Thanks a lot for sharing your time and talent.Beautiful guitar too.Thanks Matt

[Stoplightcity]

Simple and sweet.  Thanks!

[WuggamusPrime]

I'd love to see a breakdown of the right hand technique there...

[zapodbeblebrox1929]

great great lesson, thanx

cool guitar by the way!

[tmalan81]

great tutorial. also you're very polite and seems like a nice guy, matt

cheers mate

[ivensmith]

thank you buddy!

[tryssss]

Thanks man for this, it will help for the chrismas songs i prepared

[MultiStele]

that's really great, bravo! like original and i would like to learn to play it, do you have any tab for it. i would be very gratefull

[matthewcross]

the tab is at the beginning of the video, on the frame that says "Chords". you might want to copy those down. There's only 4 or 5 in the whole song.

[19xXJohnnyXx95]

Great song, great guitar and great voice in the same vid!

Thank you!

[flyerism]

"Keep trying, you'll get it".

I've heard those words over & over in my mind since you posted them. That's what keeps me going. I will conquer. You gotta believe.  thanks, mate

[nicholson272]

if you or anyone is having trouble with the intro and the riffy bits, play around with the 8th fret on the G, 6th fret on the B, and 9th fret on the B thrown in every now and again

its not always clear to see what he's playing in the vid, so i thought i'd help out a little, but not so much that i'm doing it all for you!

good video dude. cheers.

[alfjon1]

real nice matt, thanks mate.

[Solus77]

Can you post the tab? I'm not sure what to pick.

[matthewcross]

i posted tab for the chords in the video, if you stick to picking those, you'll get the basic idea. You might have to watch the intro a few times to get that. Keep trying, you'll get it.

[BlondieXXX87]

That's great! Is there any chance of a tab? Mainly for the intro but for the ending would be cool too.

[kddill12]

Thanks a bunch matt!

[panzerschreck89]

very nice.... i need to practice on my bar!!

[oraomaipiu]
