When i was 14, my Mom had a surprise for me on a Friday night.. She's taking me to a Gordon Lightfoot concert. I never heard of him, i thought Blink 182 was the best band in the world. I would never let Mom know, but I was bored. I get it, the ship sunk; Next Song! But then he picked up a 12 string, and played this song with his bass player. It changed my DNA.. Mom looked over at me and said 'told ya'. I had tears running down my ridiculous looking half a mustached face, thinking to myself; wtf was that? It reminds me of my favourite comedians. There doesn't always have to be a punch line

Good question Thomas. I did explain it somewhere in the video. Gordon Lightfoot plays and sings it with the capo on the 2nd fret so that’s how I did the lesson in order to be accurate.

Why do you use notes as though the capo isn’t on? You call the 3rd and 5th fret of the E string F and G. When they are G and A
@DebbieBarrette5 ай бұрын
Just to make it easier for beginners as most guitarists don’t know the names of the notes up the neck. I’d rather keep it simple for people to see the notes as relative to the capo. There’s no need to make it complicated and it’s really not important. I think I mention this at the beginning of the lesson. Thanks for your question.
@TheHesseJames5 ай бұрын
There are basically two systems. The guitar centered approach is ignoring the tab and keeping the names and positions of the chord shapes as if there was no capo. You probably would never do that on a piano but on non-classical guitar this is quite standard practice.
@TheHesseJames5 ай бұрын
Btw, Debbie has the capo on the 4th fret, Gordon has it on the 2nd because he has a lower voice. As a guitar player you always should adapt to the voice of the singer which is quite easy using a capo.
@DebbieBarrette5 ай бұрын

May he rest in peace I was very saddened to hear about his passing. In fact, a coworker of mine told me about it and then later on, I heard about it. If you’ve ever played a 12 string guitar, he’s played one on several of his songs to including sundown and the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. You should do another performance of one of his songs as a tribute to him.
@DebbieBarrette Жыл бұрын
@@bprife Thanks for your reply, Billy. We are lucky enough to have had him around for so long. He kept performing even until the end. I've played a 12 string many times but never wanted to own one. I'll think about another of his songs to do. This one was definitely meant as a tribute.
