How to Play "Grace" by Jeff Buckley | Guitar Lesson

[@jebusgod]

amazing as always, what amazes me when a lot of people talk about grace and maybe it's people who don't play guitar but its the lack of credit Jeff gets as a musician, he gets praise and rightly so for being an amazing song righter but I always fel people never truly give him his due as a guitarist, and lets just add to the fact that he's singing at the same time, almost always perfectly too (from the live recordings I've heard) a true loss that went far too soon. More Jeff Buckley is what I say

[@LetsPlayAll]

hear hear! i think he started out as a session guitarist didn't he? either way he was getting on for Jimmy Page levels of amazing chord voicings in tunes. Just immense!

Incredible lesson Matt An amazing artist..RIP... An amazing album An amazing song Was fortunate to see him in Sydney... Voice of an Angel

[@LetsPlayAll]

oh wow would have loved to have seen him live!

[@MojoPin1983]

Jeff’s Telecaster was actually a 6 string. His chrome/mirror pickguard gave the illusion of a 12 string.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Ahh yes so it is!! Thanks for the correction. Some lucky person has it in their collection now by the looks 😊 www.mattsguitar.shop/en/matts-collection/fender-telecaster-1983-jeff-buckley

He Plays a 1983 fender telecaster 6 string, it has a unik sound among telecasters and was only made one year. It has a unik topleder bridge, and a wide freetboard, and has a fantastisk unik neck pickup. I am Lucky enough to have one, and it really has that buckley sound wibe.😊

Thank you so much. This is my favorite album of all time, And I’ve been playing an “easy mode” version that just….didn’t sound the same. You can hear that this is the real thing. Thank you!

[@LetsPlayAll]

You're very welcome! Thanks for the kind words too!

[@aritradutta1581]

i found the 14th fret bar part quite confusingin other tutorials. thank you for covering it here in great detail

[@LetsPlayAll]

You're welcome mate and thanks so much for the kind feedback, glad you found the lesson useful!

[@vitotigani]

This is unexpected! Grace is my desert island album! Would you consider making another video on Eternal life or Dream Brother?

[@LetsPlayAll]

One of mine too mate! We’ll get to them all eventually, if you’re in a hurry then Patreon best bet 🤘😀

[@espertempo]

I'm still amazed at how Jeff took a top spot in my grunge/metal head in 1994. He is so missed.

[@BrandonMilner]

Well explained. That intro riff is such a Pinky twister!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks Brandon!

I second the request. 'Vancouver' is such an amazing gem that is unknown to most, but once you know it, that melody is gonna be stuck with your for a while!

[@m0rdred1971]

Was lucky to see Jeff a couple of times. An unbelievable singer and a brilliant guitar player !! Good job with this 👍🏻

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks! Ah that's amazing, wish i'd got to see him :-)

[@thehandseesall]

Great video lesson. In regards to that chord that ring out at the end of the intro, just place your thumb over the E A & D string and strum, while the notes ring pull back on the neck several times while holding the body to create that slight warble effect. Check the actual Grace Video for more clarification

[@vicarelli]

Came here after reading about the track in the new Total Guitar mag, where Gary Lucas mentions there's 20 guitar tracks recorded on the track! Great lesson and video as always! Thanks

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks mate, haha wow that’s Siamese Dream levels of overdubs!

Cheers! More Jeff coming in the next week or so 🤘😊

[@axekhar911]

Thank you so much, love this song!

[@colmkelly5524]

Gary Lucas wrote the instrumental track for this. I’ve wondered what would they would have produced if Jeff had continued to work with him

[@dt9r]

Awesome work, I knew it and you are 100% correct

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks! :-)

[@danango6743]

Brilliant lesson! Always wanted to learn this one, cheers

[@LetsPlayAll]

You’re welcome man, enjoy!

[@nicemutant]

That intro is tricky with alternate picking... but sounds so much better... thanks nice vid! 😼👍

[@MojoPin1983]

Jeff played the Middle 8 interlude without his index finger on the D string. The rest of the chord shape is correct. It sounds much better and correct with just the bar shape on all of the strings and the pinky finger on the G string.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Awesome thanks for the info mate!

[@MojoPin1983]

@@LetsPlayAll Sorry, I meant to say that Jeff didn't place his *ring* (not index) finger on the D string. He just barred all the strings (with his index, of course) and had his pinky on the G string.

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@MojoPin1983 cool, do you mean for the verse?

[@MojoPin1983]

@@LetsPlayAll No, the final interlude, starting around the 16:08 mark of the video. You have the correct chord shape, just don’t fret D string with your index finger. In other words: remove your ring finger from the chord, entirely. It should be played like this (first chord): e 1 B 1 G 3 D 1 A 1 D 1 Keep the same shape as you ascend and descend the fretboard throughout the interlude.

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@MojoPin1983 ahh gotcha! Will give that a go thanks mate

[@B10-b1f]

@@LetsPlayAll I’ll have a look!

[@HeartandSoul59]

tricky one, especially the right hand too (in this case). Maybe you should have explained how to strum the strings, they re not played from up to down, some strings are played down to up (I dont know if you understand) especially the intro, the E string. and this is what makes this song great. I tried to play it with the tabs, I did, but it didn't sound good . So thanx to this video it will be good now :)

[@ronnienes]

I don’t THINK it’s a 12 string. I thought the same from a few videos but I think the scratch plate was just quite mirrored and created that illusion. Maybe just the reverb and chorus gives it that sound? Open to being wrong.

[@LetsPlayAll]

You’re right! Someone else pointed out it’s a mirrored scratch plate 😊🤘

[@Likes_Trains]

Absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for this tutorial! It's straight to the point and really simple to follow with the tabs too. It's really inspired me to give this a go :D haven't played guitar in years :')

[@haydenwilliams4674]

The bridge part but how does Jeff do it in the live a sin-è version. Because he starts off with that and I think that’s the best version of the bridge

[@LetsPlayAll]

not sure on that version mate, not familiar with it

[@land7889]

Merci ! une super chanson qu'on aimerais tous entendre en live, tuto parfait, grâce à vous, je la joue correctement! musicalement... bravo !

[@kolombijec]

wow.. never would have imagined.. just been listening to the live at sin-e album for the past week and learning mojo pin by ear.. well done.. thanks..! 👍🎸 btw.. i also thought it was a 12string..but ithink it's his regular tele and the light reflection that shows the steing twice.. i mean.. if u watch hia bbc performance...but perhaps im wrong

[@LetsPlayAll]

you're welcome and you're absolutely right, i was corrected haha it's just the mirror pickguard!

[@ryantattersall5042]

I’m pretty sure in the intro, Fm - Gm - E. To end the riff he plays an E5 with his thumb, letting the other strings ring open

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks Ryan will check that out!

[@GracesGarden80]

Absolutely brilliant lesson. How did you get the clean tone? What were the amp settings and any pedals? Also any ideas how he got that amazing clean sound for Grace when played live like in the Chicago concert video? There’s so much warmth and sustain - it sounds like the guitar is ‘singing’ 😊

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks mate, pretty sure I just used my amp clean for this, sorry was a while ago and I’ve started putting how I get the tones at the beginning of each vid now. Will have to check out the live tone 🤘😊
