Chord Substitutions on St James Infirmary

[@StefanGBucher]

10 of your minutes tend to take four of my weeks, but it’s always worth it! Thank you, David!

[@752brickie]

Thank you David for the wonderful lesson!!! You are one amazing musician !!!

[@leonsuddick513]

Mr Hamburger, I am in awe of not only your ability but also your knowledge. Well done.

[@markt158]

Really fantastic! Thanks!

[@ianson3]

And here I thought I was doing so well on the earlier embellished version of SJI! David once again shows that the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.

[@ianirishcampbell1934]

Lot's of nice little tricks in here David. You've got me thinking in ways I've never really taken the time to explore. I keep saying... "Why didn't I think of that!" Cheers!

[@johannesck]

Great tune - great lesson. Thanks David.

[@RussicaGuitar]

I got a lot of inspiration from this lesson, thank you very much! I really like your tone and your mixing of more complex palette of sounds into blues, often from jazz. Cool.

[@wadebayliss]

thanks , great playing and super clear explanation of the aforementioned.

[@mr2000dukr]

On my list of tunes to learn. I like it. The word will be spread! I like all your videos. The theory - good stuff but I need to buck up and learn / digest a few things to get more out of your lessons. I can copy what you are doing but I would like to understand how you get where you go with substitutions etc. a bit more. That's on the list too. :) THANKS!

Another fantastic lesson from David. I never cared all that much for St. James Infirmary......thought it was kinda boring, but now it's definitely a favorite, thanks to all these cool chord subs. Thanks, David.

[@FretboardConfidential]

Haha! Alright - I guess my work here is done :-). Thanks.

[@bnkrbr27]

I really appreciate the fact that you need to be musically knowledgeable to comprehend some of your lessons. It keeps the trolls to a minimum. Thanks

[@FretboardConfidential]

Thanks Rob! Glad you're enjoying the lessons.

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

Great lesson, thanks! I've been looking for some extras to add to this tune. This is perfect.

[@jamiescott1080]

I’m totally stealing this. This is one of my standards when I play. Top man. Ta.

[@pg123ab]

Great lesson, thanks for sharing.

[@jimmallen2749]

David, greeting from Canada! Love all your inspired lesson and tips. Thank you for your most generous sharing! Would love it if you had the time to put together a whole fingerstyle blues song and improv with TAB.

[@dankiely663]

Nice example song choice and excellent explanation/demonstration.

[@etienne844]

Hi David, great lesson as usual. Its really a pleasure to watch and hear. Also funny as I hear a kind of ressemblance with the first verse of Siboney Cuban song. You just have to add a Rumba feel.

[@hughkoch765]

Hi David, such a great video lesson, now the work starts! Many thanks for the email.

[@rasbydorton1]

What can I say but thank you David!

[@robertmcglynn1539]

Great lesson! Many thanks.

[@emlyngriffith5846]

Super-Cool....you can go to the races. Love it. I’m still struggling on Hesitation Blues but this seems a bit easier....Great lesson once again thanks a lot!

[@moreorlesslikeso]

Very good and inspiring!

[@pachacamacs]

That was very helpful, thanks a lot!

[@AntonEmery]

Man wonderful stuff. I am going to tackle this after working on Deep River Blues a bit more

[@rgonzalez5804]

You could use also some of the gypsy chords for Am6 and E7 you taught in another lesson

[@billregan1981]

Awesome!

[@franciscomartin1849]

gracias

[@johnlind5819]

David, this is very fun stuff that can also apply to other songs. I love your channel. I met you when you taught at a Mark Hanson camp and I have all your TrueFire lessons. I sure appreciate your commitment to music education for guitarists. Would you ever consider a lesson on your great song "Miss Henderson's Riding Academy" either on TrueFire or on KZbin? Thanks, John WA, USA

[@FretboardConfidential]

Hi John! Now *that* was a fun workshop to teach at. Given that you're not the first person to ask, I suppose that's something I ought to consider. Thanks for the request, and glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@conantdog]

Brilliant 👀

[@franciscomartin1849]

una joya de lección

[@larrygray5447]

HI David, Really like your playing and your teaching style. I recently became a member and as I'm looking at St James Infirmary I fell I must have missed a session along the way. Did you have one of the hour lond sessions where you walk through the steps and if so is at available anywhere ?

[@FretboardConfidential]

Not yet! That's usually the fourth week, after we've covered some improvisation exercises. Stay tuned!

[@rebeccaabraham8652]

Ok - I'm officially suffering from information overload.... However - I never admit defeat so I'm going to keep trying little bits here and there....

[@snorrevonflake]

Is the whole tab for this available somewhere ? btw. that sample tab did not work for me, didnt receive.

[@FretboardConfidential]

If you sign up here you'll find access to just about every tab I've made for the channel: www.fretboardconfidential.com/signup

[@surfer4478]

Great, but too advanced chord wise for me!.

[@larrygray5447]

Looks like I could use a good editor :(
