Thank you Tom for your dedication and terrific guitarmanship of rock and surf music!

[@tomcon21]

You’re welcome, thanks for watching!

[@trent5240]

As someone who started playing guitar based solely on heavy metal and blues, these surf rock lessons are amazing. Totally different style and progressions. I absolutely love these videos and the way you have the chords/tab set up with the playing is perfect!

[@tomcon21]

Thanks!!

[@williammacaraig4468]

Keep on rockin bro what a beautiful music God bless

[@tonylilley6611]

I just starting to learn the guitar at an older age, these videos make it so easy to learn, simple tunes but satisfying to play best wishes

[@ronvonryan]

I was the ghost writer for the DC5 and wrote some of their earlier songs such as 'Mulberry bush', 'Doo Dah',' That's what I said', 'All of the time', No time to lose', 'Can I trust you', 'Sometimes' and a few other B sides and album tracks, also some of their hits such as 'Bit's and pieces', 'Anyway you want it', 'Thinking of you baby'. I mostly write in the key of C as it suits my voice. I wrote 'Because' in C using the first four chords as C/Abaug/Am/C7, but when I played it to Mike Smith C was too low for his voice so we transposed it to G. You made a fine job of this video, nice playing. Mike made a great job of singing it but my favourite version is the one made by Julian Lennon, he found something in my simple love song that most others missed, it's a wonderful version.

[@tomcon21]

It’s an honor to talk to you Mr. Ryan. Thank you so much for commenting and for writing this beautiful song. ♥️😊

[@burnlastsunday]

That last E chord near the end is SO genius. Fits the song so perfectly. Great arrangement too. RIP Mike Smith

[@ronvonryan]

@@tomcon21 Thanks Tom, I have other newer songs on youtube by myself, Mike lane, John Cortese, and Jim Lamb, Jim has an album of my newer songs for sale online.

Very nice tribute to the 60s British group the Dave Clark Five. Thanks for sharing Tom

[@tomcon21]

Thanks for watching!

[@musiclover1960ED]

What do you call that what you have a lot of? Oh yeah, TALENT and your love for your art. Deeply appreciated sharing it with us, mortals. Thank you.

[@miked6335]

My wedding song 38 years ago. The bandleader was friends with my in-laws. I think the band listened to the 45 once. Let's just say I wish you were there to play it! I will have to try to learn it myself.

[@paco-jaguars183]

You never cease to amaze me and make me smile. Beautiful..thank you Tom

[@abby526]

It's right that I should care about you And try to make you happy when you're blue It's right, it's right to feel the way I do Because, because I love you It's wrong to say I don't think of you 'Cause when you say these things You know it makes me blue Give me one kiss and I'll be happy Just, just to be with you Give me, give me, a chance to be near you Because, because I love you Give me one kiss and I'll be happy Just, just to be with you Give me, give me, a chance to be near you Because, because I love you Because, because I love you

[@PatrickJohnEramis]

True! learnt a lot from this video. :)

[@brucetowell3432]

Plus melody and lyrics. Any songwriter worth his salt, would have been proud to have penned this number, pro or amateur!!! Clark put his name on it, but I've read on many notes, he was NOT it's writer. Anyone know who the author is, and what other tunes he penned?

[@glennmitchelluk]

I play this beautiful song in my Sixties show and always credit it to Ron Ryan the correct writer of the song. Beautifully played Tom.

[@tomcon21]

Thank you!

[@carlsalazar4490]

I played this at 5 times a day. Love the tone of the guitar. The guitar is on my bucket list, didn’t realize how expensive they are. Keep up the great work. Cheers

[@Yabetti]

This reminds me "good old days" in my life. The fist encounter of the British music scene.

[@tomcon21]

Great music!

[@Yabetti]

Yeah I think so too. At that time, British music was more popular among Japanese young generation. Your guitar play is stunning. Besides also "Ventures" was so popular too. Their sounds represnted "Teke Teke Teke" This means a sound of electric guitar in Japanese.

[@oldbluesboy]

Beautifully played, brings back loads of memories of the DC5.... school days.. :-) thanks.

[@oldbluesboy]

Exquisitely played... I remember the DC5 when I was at school. They were very popular but then faded away. Good to hear this again! :-)

[@campion05]

That's tasty as we used to say back in the 70's. Love the surf rendition of the song. Got my Gretsch out and cranked it.

[@mattrobillard1007]

Another great one. The way you incorporate the tabs and chords as you play make learning these songs great. Please keep doing what you are doing. We need more people like you to learn from. Thank you so much.

[@tomcon21]

Thank you Matt!

[@anthonyderosa5181]

Nice. One of my favorites. Thanks for the memory.

[@glennchristie2316]

2:25 2:25 I owned that very same Jazzmaster back in ‘61. Because was one of my top 3 R&R songs of the 60’s. I would have enjoyed it better in the first 4 frets. The Dave Clark 5 didn’t have high voices. Great job just the same. .

[@kevgish]

Very well played version of a great 60s song.Enjoyed listening.

[@5olas]

Thank you and God Bless you Tom.

[@michaelanzelino5068]

Corny, I think not. I will play this with pride. Thank you so much for giving us tabs.

[@BigEd2612]

Thank you Tom ! My first time ever hearing this song and it’s a beauty !

[@MetalHeart8787]

Love your videos Tom, please make a video of you Talking about how you got into Guitar & what Year you started playing

[@davidmcelyea1996]

So good. If you worked that out yourself you have an excellent ear. You have quickly became one of my favorite guitar players , not just a youtuber, but a phenomenal inspiration. After playing a big hollow body gretsch for the last 15 years I just got a jazzmaster for Christmas. Olympic white.

[@tomcon21]

David McElyea That means a lot!! Thank you!!!

[@pattibrooks1907]

I love this song even when it first came out in the 60s by The Dave Clark Five ! You play it very well ! Again thanks for playing this wonderful awesome song that Ill always love the best all versions of the song Because !

[@michaelg3074]

Really groovy man. Thanks for sharing. And double thanks for the posting of the simple easy chords. ery helpfull.

[@Tonetwisters]

A chord progression that was perhaps first used in Buddy Holly's "Raining In My Heart" in 1958.

[@ricktomaski603]

Such an excellent song, and an excellent cover Tom. Lots of great music from "across the pond" besides the Beatles. Peter and Gordon a World Without Love would be right up your alley!!

[@tomcon21]

Not the Beatles but written by John and Paul!

[@pafluk-ve1pb]
