While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Acoustic demo)

A lot of people asked me how I played the version that I uploaded. This should make things clearer. Feel free to write if you have more questions and thank you for all of your kind words.

Anyway you put the capo on the fifth fret and play these chords (these are not in complete order, use this in conjunction with the video)


VERSE CHORDS:

Dm
x x 0 2 3 1

Dm/C
x 3 0 2 3 1

Dm/B

G

Repeat this again for next part of chorus and then back to the verse.

Hope this helps, watch the video with these notes and put the capo on the fifth fret.

Good luck
Brian

Oh and check out my goofy little short homage to Maxwell's Silver Hammer that I made it's a video response to this lesson.

Need a capo? Grab a pencil and a shoelace. Lay the pencil down on your desired fret. Wrap the shoelace around both ends and tie that pencil on! This is what i do because i dont have a capo either :p Haha awesome lesson by the way!

@RockSoilder1 You can make a capo with a pencil and a rubberband...simple

...Thumb up so all can see...

good job man. i was playing it from Am with no capo and i just realized that it sounds higher pitched like a mandolin was playing too. i just never really listen to this version very much (i dont know why) but lately its all i wanna hear haha but now i know for sure.. no mando, just a capo. this helped me out and i rarely use youtube to learn songs, i just figureit out on my own haha take it easy man.

Nice video man. I didn't think it was that easy to play. You have good instincts for playing and a nice voice for this song! ROck On!

[tonybowers123]

Good job
