Get Together Guitar Lesson Preview - The Youngbloods

[@robertryan2542]

Thank you very much for this. God bless. From Ireland 🇮🇪

[@PF92079]

According to Banana of the Youngblood’s they played it live at every show they ever played...but he said you’re right it was a pain to play. He still plays it live today. Good job on the playing!

Omg Neil Hogan! I was given one of your CDs back in the early 1990s. It was an all Beatles instrumental. It was incredible. Loved it!!

[@TotallyAcousticNews]

Thanks for checking in and it is always great to hear from someone who has that album! Neil

[@TotallyAcousticNews]

Sorry for any confusion on the title folks, I updated the title to reflect that it's a preview from one of our full lessons that is currently available on the site. Our free lesson previews generally include segments from our Overview part of the full lesson, these typically include information on what is going to be covered throughout the lesson as well as some background on the song and band.

Thank you Neil!!

Whoever is hating on his beautiful lesson, ya'll are defeating the purpose of this song.

[@lawrencemaxwell6536]

thank you very much for this video.... this song has been so hard for me to get because of the capo version... the campfire version and the record version.... not to mention what he does live and sometimes the different keys he does when with other artists.... thanks for taking the time.... answering all my questions and helping me find my own version and voicing

[@drummerben04]

I actually enjoy a lot of the talk, great for beginners to have it nice and slow and to understand the different ways of playing the same riff; thanks for making these videos!

[@bladesaint21mr]

very insightful.

[@morrisman64]

Great lesson spot on

[@lizandvk]

I've been playing for almost 40 years...great lesson...lots of good tips and information about the thought processes involved in a real classic. Jim Kennelly is a hate filled idiot...sort of funny to read his comments about a song called "Get Together!" I guess he missed the point! Keep up the good work my friend!

[@rrtlaw]

Recorded in 1964 by The Kingston Trio

What's with all the hatred people? I personally found this video very helpful, great considering it's free....if you don't like it, watch another video, but keep your hostility, you're really making the world a worse place to live in. Honestly, the sense of entitlement people have these days is astonishing.

[@RustyBuzzard]

it's all the genuises that think they know it all, and they're absolutely wrong.

[@dcrodwell]

Must have watched a different vid. Pretty awesome I thought.

[@anlmz]

seria bueno que usted querido contribuyente aportara los acordes tocando las cuerdas mientras nos enseña la cancion. gracias

[@jorgesxbass7606]

This song was written by Dino Valenti, the vocal leader of Quicksilver, Dino never received a cent in royalties, as he had to sell his songs, pay legal fees, etc., as he was arrested for possession of marijuana, used the stage name Chet Powers, that was the madness of the sixties Big Dino who wrote the song "what about me"

[@banburyjammer]

Hey! Is that a Yairi you're playing?

[@50goldstrat101]

1967

[@tommyo777]

Jeez, can anyone show that [original] strummed chord after the opening notes?!

[@MG26938]

I liked your lesson bro but your wrong about them never having done that live... I saw them at the "Bill Grahams- Filmore East" in NYC back in the late 60's, loved the band and loved this song, two years before I had the honor of seeing them live. Good job of giving us a snippet of a simple way to play it without giving us the details just to plug your website. Honestly, I like what you do, but give a little more music and a little less talk and more people may subscribe.

[@TotallyAcousticNews]

Mike Grillo sorry for the incorrect statement, we couldn't find any live videos for this particular song, but it's awesome to hear that you have heard them perform it during a live show. We're glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the insight!

[@tcmusic_thomas_upton]

@@TotallyAcousticNews ...... the YoungBloods toured in the '70's and hit my town of Burlington, Iowa. I was at their concert, which they ended up with this signature song. At the end, the entire audience was absolutely awe stricken with total silence, until someone in the crowd (me) shouted, "That was pretty good!!!", at which point, everyone broke out in wild applause... it was a great memory.

[@raveonwave]

Jessie C Young did this often live, however, he had often butchered his own song. He would add words and distort the melody. If you listen to the Eagles to this day they stay true to the melodies. If you don't want to be let down stick with the studio versions because doing it live, this guy had no faith in the beauty of this tune.

[@RobotMillionaire]

Not really the early 60’s, 1967

[@RustyBuzzard]

Splittin hairs, but in actuality it became a top 10 hit in the summer of 1969. I remember it well.

[@timsharp4815]

Not only are you playing this wrong, your facts on this song as Youngbloods biggest and or only hit are inaccurate.

[@TotallyAcousticNews]

Hey Tim, I always appreciate being better informed. Please elaborate and educate me. Thanks in advance! Neil

[@billytruelove6199]

Later 60's...

[@060661]

Shoot me already! 10 minutes on a 4 chord song...

[@SillyGoose2024]

How come every man in his 50s who plays guitar wears shirts like that?

[@TotallyAcousticNews]

+Belly Boy, because Hawaiian shirts are the coolest and most comfy when you're making awesome music ;)

[@SillyGoose2024]

TotallyAcousticNews i expect a parrot to be on our shoulder next time. at least do a jimmy buffet song, that would make optical sense.

[@tsfurlan]

because they have no sense of style? same goes for the porn stash, great teacher tho

[@MrStealth654321]

GLAD U GOT A DAY JOB lol JUST KIDDING BUD HES A GOOD PLAYER

[@gingold66]

Dense, convoluted, confusing. So, how do I play the song again? Way to take something simple and turn it into Chinese Physics.

[@watchmanandthewardog8597]

too muck BS just teach the song and dump the rest

[@nunyabidness2793]

How ironic - guy takes time to record an interesting lesson (including music theory) on one of the classic 60's peace tributes and receives heat for his efforts. Oh well - keep the faith good people.
