ugh thank you SO much!! you made this very easy to play thanks to your explanations!! love your style, too. i adore this song and i'm so happy to found such a great tutorial to play it myself.

Thank you dave

Nice job Dave! I'm playing bass on this tune for our band. Totally forgot about this one!

Very nice!

Great lesson, but that horribly distorted sound almost ruins it.

...just found you guys today...dig the same songs, ....your lady friend has a touch of ( not Tuesday Weld) but Laura Nyro, I would say... gonna learn "Never My Love" and "Magnet and Steel", oh yes, and DC5"s "Because", probably on keyboard as well. Thanks for sharing.... great tone you're getting on the acoustic.

Well played. You’re making me look bad!

Congrats congrats congrats.

Bruce contends was my sponsor until he passed. He showed me his part and he def did not use a capo

How does a guy like you that can barely play the guitar get so much equipment? You can’t possibly be a full time musician so are you a lawyer or something?

If you are going to break down a song, why don't you show how to form the chords.

God bless you Captain Dave & Emily Tenille!!! 🤗🎶🎵🎼

I love Emily smile!!! 😘 Great lesson, congratulations Dave & Emily!!! 🤗🎸

Yay needed that

Tabs please,........ouuuuuuu ouch sorry. You made me laugh out loud when you slipped in the piss substitute. Thanks big guy!

I want to learn, but it seems way too complicated 😮😂

Well done. Singing was great. Thanks for sharing.

Really like your channel. You cover songs that I really like, that no one else covers. Plus, you get the chords right! Thank you!

Something wrong with your hearing man...some chords right..but u off on some..re learn it...

Interesting in Amaj7. I play it straight out of the Fake Book in Bmaj7. You are a great guitar player. You have quite the selection of songs too. Thank you Dave. Gotta go. I'll be back (there's a great Beatles song for you). sw

I saw that Dick Cavett clip the other day. It was awesome!! You are quite the guitar player Dave. Love your stuff. I appreciate the time and effort. Sir Winston. EDIT - Paul Simon is an amazing guitar player. He's got his theory down pretty darned well. Thanks again Dave.

I Agree with You a 100 %, I have all Fender everything on most of My Strats, (So that makes it a Fender, I don't care what anyone else has to say about it), though I have store bought ones as well, People just want You to pay Stupid Money for nothing, when you can part it together for a lot less.

the note that you said is A major 7 , another instructor called it a C#m.. I'm confused.

Ooow Dave’s on his jack jones this should be fun

Great job! Such a cracking tune.

I dont play guitar, but i play uke. You're a fantastic teacher!

Thanks!!!!

I've just been looking for this classic soul song, and very useful lesson. Thank you so much

Well explained bravo Thanks👋

Absolutely brilliant! Now committed to learning this with your fine help.

I’ve wanted to play this song since I was a kid! Thank you!

I wish you would do a play through video and post tabs on screen.

2 words: Deal A Meal . . . cover song: Biz Markie Just a Friend The beat and hook come from Freddie Scott's 1968 tune “(You) Got What I Need”

What a great version Dave, thanks so much. Your playing is so smooth and accurate.

Gotta love this one . Thanks Dave. - you two sound great .

The best 'loosely' related guitar-related channel bar none !!

Por favor, hágalo fluido, no es necesario hablar tanto, solo muestre los acordes.

Ever great rock on !

Thank you for this. Your arrangement is perfect for a solo guitarist. Just what I have been looking for. I think I can get this with a little practice.

Killer lesson! I am 75 years old. I cannot tell you how much I have learned some of the classics that I love to play, and my audience loves hearing. Keep it up.

Great job explaining the chord structure. Thanks

Such a beautiful tune!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

Thanx Homeboy- ! I just stumbled on to your channel I searched "chord progression of poetry man" I arrange stuff on keys. u guys are lovely, I'll return. Boston strong 💪

Best foundation to learn music. I have to change chords I can’t finger at times.

Ben Orr and Ric Ocasek or Ric and Ben, were quite the pair. They seemed co-joined in an intriguing almost mysterious way as if they had something between them you didn’t have. Ben, with his amiable personality and rockstar good looks, was always the focus of any performance of the two of them or with the bands they fronted. If anyone had the goods to make it, Ben had it. Ric, with his lanky frame and face was their manager, promoter, leader and hanger-on. Hanger-on because he didn’t have any musical talent to speak of. He was a third rate singer at best. If they made it, it would be because of Ben’s musical talents, not Ric’s - that’s how it seemed…then. Ric had this slick, huckster like quality, which he brought to most of his interactions. They had some cred because of the Milkwood album. It was also clear they hadn’t gotten very far because of Milkwood. “I’ve been listening to Patti Smith. I can’t tell you what effect listening to her music has had on me!” Ric Ocasek told me over the phone back in 1977 or 78. I don’t specifically remember the year. He and I would talk occasionally after I returned to Vermont having failed in my efforts as a lead singer to get a recording contract, to front a popular drawing crowd band, to get noticed at all. I knew of Patti Smith. I hadn’t bought any of her albums, but I was tuned to the groundswell about her at that time. There was a seriousness and an openness in his voice I hadn’t heard before. He sounded genuinely moved. That was the last time I spoke to Ric. I joined a band called Zzebra. As lead singer of Zzebra, I, we, the world, started hearing about the Cars. Ric Ocasek and Ben Orr made it. They made it big. I still listen to their music quite regularly because I truly enjoy it, for what it represents: pop/rock music with a synthesized, digitized, forward leaning, art/rock, yet, rooted sensibility. Ric Ocasek found his voice …big time. Patti Smith and the punk/new age music explosion of the times freed him to express himself on his own terms. He doesn’t sound like Patti Smith (but if you knew him and how he sounded earlier you can understand how hearing Patti Smith opened up floodgates for him), he sounds like Ric Ocasek. I get goosebumps at times, recognizing he shared that with me. I’ve always acknowledged I never found my voice as a singer, as good of a vocalist as I might’ve been. Knowing someone who did find their voice the way Ric found his gives me a sense of satisfaction. As good of a vocalist and as charismatic of a personality Ben Orr was (he sang their number one signature song, “Just What I Needed,” and “Drive” - the ones that Ric wrote that needed Ben’s melodic good voice) he never matched his partner’s unique and singular sound and voice. As the far weaker singer, Ric became the dominant voice and icon of the group, despite his vocalist shortcomings. His vocal personality became the signature sound of the group. How far would the Cars have gotten with Ben as the sole voice, like Roger Daltry with the Who, we will never know.

Dave I dig it! You make it so easy to understand every lesson you give!! ❤️🤘🤘
