@sandalwood1191 Do you understand the video was tongue in cheek, if so, then I do not understand your post. If not --re- listen - it is a tongue in cheek apology.

@KissThisAce I was exactly 16 years old in 1966 and as I remember this song was generally thought to be popular in spite of and not because of Nancy Sinatra. We despised her for lip-syncing instead of singing. We also did not like the makeup and hair, but of course we did not admit we noticed ...

@DerSchwurbel No - no one says anything profane on this record, but those rumors have been going around since this song came out when I was young (about 100 years ago). One story of why the words are so hard to understand is that the label produced the record from the demo and never bothered wit...

@Genius71593 easy answer. many simply are not open to different kinds of music. glee showcases everything from broadway to hip hop. who knows? maybe they will try some grand opera in the future and will inspire some people to listen to classical pieces. It seems your musical tastes have expa...

In the 1960's I remember magazines which I think were mostly read by pre-teen girls. On the cover of these magazines were pictures of Beatles, Stones and other groups and many times the headlines would refer to some sort of rivalry. Apparently this is still going on. At the time I thought it w...

@l8on99 interesting information and if it matters, i believe you. but of course most of us will never have the chance to ask bob dylan about anything,

@sooperPOOPERstar Why? you ask.. answer=why not? why not let the military create whatever they want regarding things like flag etiquette or saluting. We owe them something and flag etiquette is a small gesture.

One could get all pissy and say "we can do what we want" but in this case it is ...

Timothy Leary was also a professor at Harvard. This guy looks old enough to have known Leary. Could be they did a lot of acid together. This would explain much. I remember a lot of my contemporaries who found god while using LSD. Also I understand using LSD is a good way to appreciate Jimm...

@SirSharon Yes hard to believe Bert S never made it big, but he was very famous at Bowling Green State University during my undergrad years. 1968 -1972. Back then I new many people who could not sleep unless "Road to Travel" was playing on record player. Many years later I found out he was wit...

I graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1972, During my 4 years there, Bert Sommer was everyone's favorite. We went to NYC (Bitter End) to see him in person. We traveled a couple of hours to Kent State to see him there. Only after leaving college did I come to understand he was not a...

Seems all Cat/Yusuf videos have many religious comments and music lovers want to know why. It is because this artist made his religious choices public, not a private matter between him and his god. This is his right, but if one makes that choice religion will color everything.

By itself this ...

@noobpowner901 FYI Baritone not a vocal style, it is a range from second F below middle C to F above middle C so even high baritone would leave out most of treble clef. you are right about not being solely related to grand opera, but obviously not correct in your description of singer in video...

"it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift" -- the only song i know that contains the instructions for chords within the song. I notice that ms lang has changed the original cohen key (C) to her version in E. Why? doesn't matter - it works. Great song -- got s...

@jenzeppelin Greatest Album is hard to pin down. Certainly American Beauty was very wonderful, but Europe '72 is the one I have played the most over the last few decades.

@jenzeppelin Difficult to pin down favorite GD song. I suppose Sugar Mag. but at various times many others were "my favorite" "looks like rain" is right up there -also "Box of Rain" . When Working Man's Dead and American Beauty came out it was so different, but still so the same as Live/Dead....

Great lesson, but an explanation of tab on second fret might be appropriate. Beginners may not know that Am becomes Bm and E becomes F# etc. This info would help them to understand what is going on. But on the whole, a very good explanation of how to play the song.

@EndIgnoranceb42012 Yes you have found us out. we are indeed conspiring against you. The great thing is that it is so easy. If you had half a brain you would no longer have to be a member of the underclass. We of the ruling class would let you into our group, but you do not met our qualification...

@mumbleora musicians do not make this sort of comment. a video response with you on drums, showing how it might be done differently would be a way suggest another technique. Sad that non-musicians feel the need to criticize and to make things all the more strange, you made no serious comment...

Amazing that anyone found this early recording. I saw Janis at Berkshire music festival in summer on 1969 and a few weeks later at Woodstock. By then she was a big star and had already split from Big Brother. Would have loved to see and hear her earlier. This recording is the closest I will ever...

Check out youtube videos that feature any other band and you will find vitriolic comments and stupid arguments. As I write this nobody disliked the video. Deadheads don't make mean comments and others don't usually view GD youtube videos, What really wonderful state of affairs. Story of Sugar Ma...

@stevevegetable Yes, made big mistake giving up on vinyl, but at least i saved the albums in a safe place in basement. when my wife and I are both retired, one of the first projects will be to revive the records. The good thing is that had we done it 20 years ago, turntables were difficult to ...

@Mischa2211 sorry i was wrong about repeating intro - but it is a similar progression. many web sites post chords - they are usually wrong but close. again lessons are a must -- no sense re-inventing the wheel. Once you have a solid foundation in theory and can play scales everything starts to m...

@absue Good to know the play is still being performed and presumably these performances are attended by younger people who have never seen it.

@BroughamConspiracy You are probably not a business owner, very few business owners begin a comment meant to convince with "what garbage" We use our selling skills in most aspects of our lives. Also we tend not to pay much attention the political winds of the moment. Nice that you are concern...

@Philadelphia90 Thank you for your kind words. I had written songs for both of our children many years ago, but could never think of proper words or tune for my wife of almost 40 years, Finally figured something out for her 60th birthday. It was certainly meant to be romantic and I am very grati...

Respond to this video... you can play it just fine with no capo, but the key change will be significant. If you can sing that low - fine or if you take voice up a full octave -fine also, gut capos are inexpensive and if your guitar has a neck that is to wide, which may be the case with class...

@cookiemonzter100 C- B7-Ab7-G7-C-Em - A7-Dm-Fm-C- Ab7 -G7

chorus is A-F#m- D- E-repeat 3 times then A- Ab7-G7

if you barre the initial C at the 8th fret and continue w/ barre chords the progression makes sense, but if you do not do barre chords everything can be played open - this for guitar

@205whiteboy You are probably used to associating with musicians. Musicians usually appreciate other musicians and even when a performance goes badly other musicians are sympathetic or have constructive criticism. I made a post on youtube which began, " when you play this song in G" A responder u...

@MrJointa Yes, an accurate comment about different eras. Maybe am just an old curmudgeon but it is really not pleasant to read f**k so much in youtube comments. At least you have a good reason because it does, in this case make a point which may not be able to be made otherwise.
