How have you literally nailed every single Greta Van Fleet song?! Literally no GVF cover on KZbin compares to any of the ones you've made.

[@djones_music]

Bro thank you so much for this, it really means a ton! I think honestly the biggest thing for me is it's something I'm so passionate about that I can put tons of time and effort (work) into it but it never feels like "work" because I genuinely love playing and also being able to help other people learn how to play so they can jam out as well! It's something that I just never get tired of!👊🏻🤘🏻

[@tiogate]

Isn't it amazing how, musically, this is like a response (or resolution) to Age Of Man?

[@djones_music]

Yes it's incredible!! I can't get over how good it is

[@alexgaona8299]

The song is amazing especially when the harmony comes in

[@djones_music]

Oh yeah absolutely!! I totally wanna have stuff like that in whatever band I end up playing in in the future!!

[@josemourinho2810]

00:00 U made me feel goosebumps. So close to the Album version. You nail it dude!

[@djones_music]

Much love brotha! Your kind words mean a ton! If you like my playing, please consider checking out my band The Definitive. We have a similar vibe :) open.spotify.com/artist/7AqLHayT2dUOsNuyz6xIV1?si=fsYfS6o_QKmlVhd2Wp6QoQ

Hi, it's great hearing you play and teach. Unfortunately I can't play guitar myself, but I play the keyboard and usually play it on the guitar setting, because I wish I played guitar, haha :) I came across your channel the other day and was impressed with your ACDC and subscribed right away, but this is my first comment :) I'm quite a loyal commenter on channels I subscribe to though so I'm sure you'll be seeing me quite a bit in your comments sections :)

Hey Brad! Thank you very much! That's actually really cool though that you play the parts on the keyboard!

(I'm a university student full time as well, so I dont have a ton of time outside of youtube and school), and I also just want to avoid any potential legal issues that could arise with selling that kind of stuff where the band could be making money off of it.

@GuitarMusic I deeply believe that this will not be the new album best song, but let’s wait to listen it completely

[@bendobbing7015]

It's matter of opinion whether you like it or not that's fair, but to say this song is simple is not right aha, it's got a lot of unique changes and it's quite different to their other stuff. Personally I would say it's there best song so far and they're really starting to come into their own sound

[@piramoore6307]

@GuitarMusic I agree with you. I tried to listen to it objectively. Perhaps it is as Ben pointed out in one of the comments, they may be reaching their musical identity right now, instead of only having influences from Zeppelin, The Who, or AC/DC

[@djones_music]

@GuitarMusic yea I absolutely agree. And I invite anybody who thinks this is simple to try learning highway tune, and then to come try and learn this song. It's one thing to not vibe with a song which is totally fine, but musicianship wise there are so many complex things in this song that are not present in any of their other songs other than maybe Brave New World. It's not even just simple A major or C major chords either, there are chords and notes stacked together which you don't normally see. Even the format of the song is not like your normal "simple" song with the alternating verse, chorus, verse, chorus etc. They've completely flipped that upside down and basically made it their own and it still sounds amazing in my opinion. So yea totally fine to not vibe with the song, but from a musical aspect it's the farthest from being simple.

[@gianlucaperona1643]

Great lesson! but the video res is not perfect for the beginner! is impossible to follow the prrogression on the fretboard! you must go slowly!!!

Thanks! Yeah I'm going as slow as I can, but the camera stuff I am gonna be working on for future videos. I will be experimenting with different angles and such so that you can get a better view of what I'm doing!

[@kzukiodenthechad7205]

This is very descriptive but us visual learners can’t see when you’re that far from the Camera ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE VIEWING FROM A PHONE!!!

[@djones_music]

Haha no need to take the frustration out with all caps here bro. That’s why I did such a detailed description of where each fret is being played. This is also one of my older videos (~1 or 2 years old) and I am a university student as well. Money was not readily available during the making of this video, but since then I have been able to upgrade my gear. I believe you will find my newer lesson videos easier to follow as a result. Either way I appreciate you watching and hope that your frustration hasn’t kept you in a bad mood. Potentially an iPad or computer would be a solution for this specific video if you really wanted an alternative solution. Hope that helps!
