This is a really good video breakdown of how to play a great SD song, but the "FREE tabs" are not quite what I expected. They are missing a large part of the lesson in that they don't include either the bridge section or the accompaniment to the solo section.

[@g-man7687]

Your lessons are great thanks for taking the time

[@pedrodiaz5540]

Great job, now get to work

[@briancoon523]

Great tutorial on a fantastic song.

[@fjcara]

Oh yeah they got it from "Song for My Father". No problem; love them both. Great lesson; very good demos; really talented player.

[@gregmullins6927]

John that was very clear and easy to follow,thanks mate!

[@RickyPisano]

So glad I found this channel. Just great lessons. I always LOVED this band and you break it down perfectly. Thanks a million!!

[@georgequinn9087]

It's good to see someone else who uses the middle finger for more than just expressing an opinion. Covering two strings with one finger leads to quicker play and another finger to add a sixth or ninth to the chord. That chord implied in the N.C. bar is probably an outlined B7 #9.

[@GerardMorzella]

Great job of breaking it down John it made it a lot easier for me love the song.0 .

[@1shannonleggette]

Great lesson.

[@amadeus2499]

Nice!!!!! one of the most accurate, well taught lessons on YT!!! 1 thing - i believe after the quick D to A at end of chorus, he holds an Asus2, then resolves it to A... (when you get... home) You rock!!!

[@Ston247]

That's it, dude.

[@62maybiesjr]

Definitely Horace Silver. Good point. I love that song.

[@billffitch1787]

One of my all-time faves, but thought that the guitarring was so stratospheric that I could never rise to that level. You, my friend, have given me hope, thanx, Bill

Hey thanks pal. The thing at 6:00 sounds right to me too and I'll use it.

[@palerider333]

Love your teaching style guy...very glad to see you back. Seems that you always have a good song for us. That being said, I would like to suggest one that there just isn't a good lesson for out there. An old tune by the Amazing Rhythm Aces...Third Rate Romance...there is this little repeating lick in there that try as I might, I just can't work it out. Well, even if you don't do that song, I will still tune in to learn what you have to teach. Thanks for all your effort.

[@guitarcontrol]

[@Ston247]

it's the funk chord B+9. James Brown used it. Change: F maj 7- Gmaj Fmaj7- Emin Dmaj- Amaj- Emaj- Emaj Amaj7- G#min7 (You tell yourself your not my kind) Amaj7- C#min7 (but you don't even know your mind) F#min7- Amaj (you could have a change of heart) B+9*[turn-around]*

[@steelyd2]

In the second part of the chorus I believe it’s Cmaj7 and Emin7 as opposed to regular C and Em chords.

[@Ston247]

Csus2

[@zxccxz164]

can you explain more you are avoiding the pick on the thirds? I don't think i am ready for hybrid picking, but don't want to pick up bad habits either

[@koho]

Great lesson - but listening to the original, I think where you have A should be Asus2, E7 should be E9 (with no 3rd), and the funky lick should go to F# on the 2nd note, not D#. Try this and let me know if it's not more faithful to the original.

[@konradhof7318]

I’ve read elsewhere that the intro is indeed based on the Horace Silver tune.

[@baselinesweb]

Good job. I thought about nit-picking on a couple of areas, but then I realized unless the piano is playing, it makes sense to do what you are doing. So, for a change, I'll just keep my mouth shut LOL.

[@steelyd2]

In the verse it should be Dadd2 Aadd2. Not just regular D and A major. It adds some steely dan flavor. The chorus should be E9 to start and the second half should start on Cmaj7.

[@briankelley7882]

You rock!!

[@countdown2xstacy]

Wow That was good

[@ralex3697]

some of the changes are wrong, beginning chorus is off That is not a major, nor is that e minor, nor is that d major please clarify Close but not exact

[@technician6677]

They admitted that they got that riff from Horace Silver!

[@danielmatemusic]

They 100% did get the opening from Horace Silver, they've talked about this.

[@jeffreywhitten7429]

The tab link didn't work. I had to go to ultimate guitar as usual.

[@jeffwhitner6637]

Yeah, what is up with that? You would think it would be working correctly by NOW!?

[@davidwatkins204]

It's not too bad man, but you're missin the suspended 4ths on the C sharp and B Major chords and a few other "nuances" so far, the sus 9 in the chorus, "on the G chord" the C Major 7th chord in the chorus is correct, the chord progression during the solo section is good, but when you impersonate, the melody on the guitar, the vibrato isn't bad, but your missing out the legato slurs, and, just one last thing, the "motife" during the intro the 2 nd measure is anticipated by a 16th of the measure. But like I said, not too bad man, keep it up. Peace out man, GD.
