  • hey nice 1 but can any 1 tell me the power chords for this song i kno it begins with A, A but i don't know whats after that please can you tell me or a sight that would help because all the ones i go on just have random numbers (wich i don't underastand)

  • Hi Mate,

    Sorry you found it hard :-(

    The harmony is too complex to reduce the riff to simple power chords and still make it sound anything like the original, sorry!

  • slow down its sooo fuckin hard when you go fast and say the string names in numbers after you say the letters

  • Hi Mate,

    Sorry! I'll go a bit slow on the next lesson I post. James

  • the hard monent is the rytm in the fast part.. i cant get it right.. waa wha shull i do

  • Hi Mate,

    Take it slow. Try just practicing the strumming so you can get the timing right and the think about the left hand chord.

    James

  • not quite right.the second half of the chord riff uses a G then a F# back into an A. It's basically a D4, D, A. Notes from the open A string up are G, A & D; F#, A & D; then E, A & C#. If you're going to taech, learn it correctly. Don't teach until you can do it right!

  • Absolutly great. Thanks.

  • Awesome vid!!

  • alright then!

    that was fun!

    We are doing a bit of the Cristinna Agulerra version

    medly-ized, and I wanted to know how it REALLY went.

    YOU ROCK James Payze!!!

    I drop in to these other lessons of yours...

    (close my eyes and you sound like Phil Collins... LOL!!!)

    see ya!

  • Totally fucking awsome

  • Great demonstration and pretty clear explanations !

  • davidwaters69 answered the question about jamespayze: " do you think James payze likes vanhalen"? ( see full answer )

  • I'm a 49 year old Englishman living in France and I started playing the guitar (electric) 7 months ago. I practice hard and am improving all the time. Some tutorials for All Right Now just don't sound quite right........yours does! My one question is this, the chords are a bit tricky but will come with practice, but HOW do you make the rythmical dead string sound that really drives the riff? I just can't reproduce it and without it the song just doesn't sound right. Help please!
