Good lesson!! Amazing seeing how Clapton and Harrison shared chords as well as wifes!!

[@tenderpawsm473]

😂

[@tenderpawsm473]

I like some of Clapton's music, but I'm less crazy about him as a person. I didn't know the story behind the song until now. He wanted to snatch someone's wife and he then writes songs about it? He has also become anti-vaxx.

[@tenderpawsm473]

Wives

Lol

[@NoahThomasson-np4dv]

Killed the solo

[@BluesRootsMusic]

Great song, solo lesson would be sweet

[@denAlexVA]

Greetings! I learned that tune in 71". However, your rendition is more original . Great stuff. Thank you.

[@rikkikirr8538]

jon always a pleasure you break things down into ""part A, part B. bridge, chorus, pre chorus" making things understandable , thanks always you've made me learn dozens of songs by your teaching method - rick montreal , canada

[@jonmaclennan]

So glad to help! Keep up the great progress!

[@vishalgurung7807]

You made this classic sound so manageable to learn and play...thank you

[@RUNNOFT71]

Awesome lesson AND pickin, my friend!

[@hawkkim1974]

very nice. I've always wanted to play guitar like this. I'll try.

[@johnbarry731]

This is a great lesson for one of my favourite songs. The comparison with Something is interesting, especially given that both songs are written about the same woman, Patty Boyd.

[@jonmaclennan]

Glad you liked it!

[@mikegilbertson224]

Another great one! Thanks Jon

[@rustysguitar1]

Wow what a great song! Very good break down Of this song! Thanks for the video!

[@uberjam-sam8512]

Brilliant lesson. Thanks!

[@chuckyoneill9029]

Love it liked and shared 😅

[@alejorojas9563]

Excellent lesson thanks 👍 !!

[@jeffjohnson7381]

Love all the lessons with E.C the more the better…also would love to start learning some delta blues and slide guitar in the open tunings etc…thanks for all your hard work❤🎸🎶

[@drj602]

Beautiful playing Jon MacLennan !

[@williamseay2083]

Great lesson mate.

[@samnewton5959]

I have seen Eric play this song live and chord 4 in the verse he played as a C7 as opposed to an Am/G. I guess we all know Eric changes chords when he feels like it... Anyway, that also sounded bluesy. Great demo by the way!

[@mikeschneider9442]

Love that song. Thanks for breaking it done so well!

[@bjenns_skog]

You really nailed the nuances. Well done!

[@rock90753]

Great tutorial!

[@bluesine7]

Great blues song, and great guitar lesson! Thanks Jon !😉

[@gergemall]

Excellent Jon

[@johnw4659]

Thanks very much, Jon.

[@dalton7145]

WOW! Bravo!! TY

[@lamper2]

It would be interesting to trace that C to A Key change for earlier examples in earlier pop or blues or folk songs. great lesson as usual Jon!

[@2GroundControl]

Since Amin is the relative minor of Cmaj it's interesting to consider that the verse is actually the key of Amin not Cmaj. Then the key change to Amaj in the chorus is explained as a parallel minor to major modulation.

[@zacharyeggen1851]

Do you have a lesson or tab for the intro you did? Great lesson!!

[@markthrasher6770]

During the chorus, Bobby chimes in with the fire alarm sounding slide, which is probably just tapping up and down on the bars in A. The mimicked alarm sound sets the desperate tone of the song. The relationship is in a state of emergency. Clever guitar effect. It could also just be Eric tapping harder on that A chord solo too.

[@craighoffman4403]

Awesome! One of my favorite songs. Great job!

[@TheBlueGumby]

Great lesson on the chords! Makes learning new chords and some theory fun! Is there a solo lesson??

[@davidkelly1220]

Thanks

[@paulchristou9516]

Good video Brother

[@emanuel_erol_germann]

Very noble !!

[@douglasparise3986]

Nice lesson. Now if I only had .05 % of your talent

[@vyger6336]

Practice ..practice...practice and soon you will...A lot of .people give up bef0ore they reach that level. Hang in there and before you know it you will be playing this song ...no problem..

[@RobertNoah]

Let It Rain

[@davelackey5943]

What were the settings on the guitar

[@manilaboy1vic]

Solo lesson? Thanks for the vids.

[@wayneh8768]

Great song - one my favs to play. Coming from acoustic solo performance, I've always liked to barre my chords in that second part ("Do you want to see me crawl across the floor for you"), and started playing the D chord barred on the 5th fret A string, but with E ringing out on the B string, rather than F#. Is that a D5add9? Kind of a different chord, but always seemed to suit this song here. I was curious to see how you play it. Neat lesson Jon, thanks!

[@wayneh8768]

BTW, I just love this performance of the song. What's your fav? kzbin.info/www/bejne/omXLp5Juib15jck

[@annemariekaczorowski1863]

Nice one

[@joesheehan5475]

man thats awesome, thanks!

[@RandLoreTwo]

How about the lead?

[@dominicarjona5084]

please i need tabs for the intro

[@andrewg1016]

Great song Jon and fantastic lesson. Really enjoyed it. Neat little solo too :)

[@jonmaclennan]

Glad you liked it!

[@jamesstone102]

DERIC AND THE DOMINOES WHERE ALL ON HARRISON'S DEBUT ALBUM WHERE THEY MET ...I THINK?

[@BroMike-vk3sj]

Great

[@jonmaclennan]

Thanks for watching!

[@vanillacreem816]

Where’s the solo lesson?

[@tenderpawsm473]

1:58

[@adil1965able]

🎶✌️👍🎶💕

[@michael-varney-music]

Clapton was trying to steal Harrison's wife with this song, so it makes sense he was stealing his style as well... ;)

[@44scoots]

This "I use my thumb" thing is ridiculous. I have huge hands, but I can't use my thumb due to an injury. Besides, I would think most people watching this video are beginners, maybe intermediate. Can you teach without using your thumb for almost every chord?? Thx.

[@jackoshea7668]

You have covid

[@rodneylabar4331]

Maybe George stole it from Eric.. what year ,is that song you are talking about.. Bell bottom, was written around 70 with D and Domino's

[@herbythechef7624]

Something was wrote before bell bottom blues

[@rodneylabar4331]

You got it

[@50nuccio]

Steal a man’s chords, steal a man’s wife…all in a day’s work.

[@walterberg8030]

Does not track with the original. I hate what Clapton did to change the song.

[@RaininMoonlight]

you asked if Clapton was influenced by George Harrison in the writing of this song......I'd say "yes", if Clapton had actually written it.....but, Bobby Whitlock actually wrote it.....

[@jeffcookdotau]

Whitlock stated in an interview in 2011 that "Eric started the song ... He played me the first two verses at his house and I helped with the last verse". That would suggest that Eric wrote the music himself.

[@herbythechef7624]

Clapton definitely had a george harrison type solo sound there. It sounds very "let it be" you know what i mean?

[@philmanuel6465]

Nice lesson on the chords, but you teased folks with the lead part. It's not part of this lesson and very disappointing. WTF

[@jonmaclennan]

Hey Phil! So sorry you're disappointed. The part I played at the beginning is not on the actual recording it's just an improvised jam which is how I start all my videos, that's why I didn't teach it. Also this is a lesson on how to play the chords to the song, not the solo. When I do solo lessons I will post it in the title. Stay tuned though I have another solo lesson on this coming soon.

[@edwardprete]

Such a great lesson, thank you

[@jeffreyhall76]

Great lesson man thank you
