If I Had $1000000 (Ed Robertson) guitar demo

A demo file of the guitar for Barenaked Ladies' "If I Had $1000000". Suppliment to http://www.rockitoldschool.com

You guys like requesting stuff I don't play often - probably not in at least a year or two. I skipped the second verse (same as the first) and put in the third verse 'sing-along' (there's one measure of "banter" after the first chorus). I did the first chorus with Ed's original open C runup, while the second chorus I did with his current Cadd9 runup. I blew the outro on first attempt and didn't feel like reshooting, so I tacked on a retake for the ending.

Larrivée L-09E, capo 2; close miced.

Again, let me know if this is of any value.

Have you ever posted the song " Jane" ?

[TheHYPO]

@MrFenderman62 I have not. If I ever get around to new videos, it's one I have intended to do.

Re-title the video. This is not feasible as a tutorial -- despite the well meaning close up of your blurred fingers and completely out-of-picture strumming arm. You couldn't even play it slowly? Jesus, it's just ridiculous. I would have to watch this multiple times to figure it out, which I suppose is better than nothing, but you could have made a little more of a conscientious effort to make a video that might actually be helpful to someone who obviously could not learn the song by themselves.

@SeasonVelvet I think you're just trying to get a rise out of me for some unknown reason. 1) The video is not titled "tutorial" it's titled "demo". Demo means "demonstration" or "example". This is a demo, not a lesson. 2) The video is not blurry to me. I can see everywhere the fingers are. 3) I missed the part where every youtube user who posts a video of them doing something is being rude by not posting instructions. 4) I did: Search this video's title but replace "demo" with "lesson". Shut up

@TheHYPO This is one of the videos that got me started playing acoustic several years ago. Thanks for making these, and thanks for (accurately) tabbing out a good number of BNL's songs.
