Hello. I haven't done a video in a while + me listening to this album last night = a new "How To Play" video for Cape Canaveral.

THERE IS A CAPO ON THE SECOND FRET!
Here are the chords used in the song:

G - 320033

Am - X02210

Em - 022000

C - X32010

D - XX0232

Bm - X2443X


I just got tickets to the Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band show on November 2nd @ the Royal Oak Music Theater!!! Maybe I'll see some of you there.

Thanks for watching!

P.S. If you haven't seen it yet, I made "How To Play" videos for Souled Out and Sausalito as well. Check them out.

  • you're wonderful (:

    i'm gonna try to cover this today

  • cool, are you going to post it to youtube?

    if you do, let me know.

  • This is a very helpful post. I think you have nailed the chords and the strum pattern is a good starting point for a solo rendition. (Hard to replicate CO's layered guitars on the recording!) I will check out your other posts. Thanks, TB

  • thanks a lot!

  • These guides are really helpful, i like how they are straight forward and easy to follow. Keep up the good work!

  • thanks!

  • thank you for posting these videos, they're awesome!!!!!!!!

  • I really like your tutorials, they are extremely helpful!! :)

  • great work man, its spot on

  • What is the fingering for the Bm?

  • This tutorial is fantastic, you're a really good teacher, and adorable to boot!

  • Thanks dude...for this and the other C.O. tutorials.

  • Good job, my friend, but some chords are played in a little different way by Conor.

    Come to check it out on my youtube homepage, you'll find there my tutorial.

    Suggests are appreciated.

  • Ah I freaking love this song <3

  • Thanks a lot man! I had no idea how to eally do the strumming, but watching this a whole lot. Wished it were a little louder, but nothing I can't deal with!

    Any tips for getting the strum down? like, are you hitting the bass notes with your thumb going up, go down, and coming back up hitting the higher notes with your fingers? or is it hitting the bass notes on the way up and on the way down hitting the higher notes?

    Thanks again man!

  • FUCK YEAH<3
