I’ve been wanting to play the intro to Happy correctly since the 80’s and just couldn’t get it right. Thank you so much for walking me through it. Finally, I can play it. I have a big smile on my face and I’m going to rock the neighborhood with this song.
@bullcrap9409 Жыл бұрын
A lot of their iconic stuff is impossible to get right until - somehow - the words ‘open tuning’ come across on someone’s wavelength. Like, well, Brown Sugar. Ohh! And Start Me Up! Of course Honky Tonk Women is on the list. And so is Sympathy For The Devil. Satisfaction? Absolutely. Which brings us to another good open tuning tune…Jumpin’' Jack Flash…. Etc etc etc….

Shamed to ask. Been banging on guitar for long time. Why use the capo ? What does a capo actually do for the sound ? I know it changed the voicing but open G one way to play & adding the Capo does what? I don’t understand ?? BTW well done . Love Keef

@TooBadJim3 жыл бұрын
Little tuning tip if you are using a capo: If your guitar is in tune when you apply the capo then you should be able to get it in tune without adjusting the machineheads. The note is distorted by the tension placed on it by the capo. If the note is sharp then pull gently on the string below the capo and if it flat then pull/pluck the string above the capo. This also means the guitar will still be in tune when you remove the capo. Give it a try.

I got an alert that you did this song so I turned on my amp and reached back to grab my seldom used Reissue KR style 72 Tele Custom, Black with Maple board, which I keep tuned to Open G (with no E string) and got ready to go. And you pull out the same guitar (or something close) to teach it. Too perfect. Thanks a ton.

Love your channel. Your interpretations and ear are spot on. I also learned to play by ear but being older than you, w a turntable and unfortunately every album I own is scratched to hell and worthless from the jumping the needle and using my toe to learn passages way before tab, internet, you tube and all the great resources available today, Im 63, been playing since 12yrs, and except for my ear development, I have learned 4x as much w the introduction of tab, internet and you tube. I truly believe if all those resources been available in 1972, I would have been a serious performing guitarist not needing a day job. with that being said, I admit when asked to add an unfamiliar song to our sets, the easiest avenue to me getting the basic groove will always bring me to privateer or james james.. I owe you brah.
