Dave Mason from Traffic - Feelin' Alright

Acoustic cover of the song Feelin' Alright written by Dave Mason from the band Traffic on their 1968 self-titled album. Joe Cocker did the most famous cover of the song in 1969 on the album "With A Little Help From My Friends". I was misled and thought Joe Cocker wrote the song which explains the opening title.

This is an easy and fun song to play. It is basically 2 chords and the strumming pattern really makes the song. I do a lot of slides from a half step down which you can easily figure out from the video. The second chord could be barred but I keep it pretty loose and just play the low E string with my thumb. Good Luck!

Nice cover man! You made it your own. Singing on Youtube is as much a matter of courage than talent. You've got both.

[blindho]

Agreed, so many people comment on the song not sounding just like the original. thanks

This is a great song and you play it good. I was wondering if could help me out though and maybe show me what the strumming pattern is and the two chords you use to play the song. Please and thank you.
