It's A Shame About Ray By The Lemonheads, Guitar Lesson

[@evandando3168]

You are correct , sir !

[@acpg]

Ha - nice to get confirmation from the horse's mouth. That weird E chord inversion is genius.

Why Evan Dando is awesome #114

[@tulkas399]

wow

[@phillipvillafane9189]

One of my favorite songwriters

[@marksandler5365]

Evan Dando the lemnheads videos

[@JoseAcosta-ox4rq]

Man, I hope you like what you do here with these videos, because you have an amazing talent, not only to play and sign, but also to teach. This is for sure one of things you were born to do, and you are lucky enough to have found it. I am getting really addicted to your videos. It is also nice because a few year ago I thought they were too advance for me and now I can follow you most of them!! Just wanted to say thanks for all this!!

[@BigAl6405]

You have done so many lessons of moderately obscure songs I love. thank you for your videos

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Dang I was close ,I hate when I give up so easy, but now I can move on to something else,this song stood the test of time , thank you guitar teacher and thank you Dando, great number

[@spencergroup]

My friend, a far more advanced player, and I used to do this song at coffee houses back in the nineties. I would play the straight open chords and he would play the more interesting inverted chords. It sounded quite nice especially with the harmonies we would incorporate into the song. Once again, great song choice.

[@tec09cultivation31]

Your voice is absolutely beautiful (and PERFECT for this song). I love The Lemonheads and to a degree that it's hard to chose a favorite song however "It's a shame about Ray" and "Into your arms" are two of my most favorite songs. I am just beginning guitar and immediately searched for this sheet music and even purchased it. Unfortunately, after viewing the music it's clear this is definitely not a beginner's song and I will not be playing this anytime soon. Should've known it wasn't going to be easy because Evan Dando is an amazing guitarist and his music always has strange chords and complex variations. I look forward to the day I can play this very much but definitely enjoyed your voice and skill. It would be amazing if you could do a video where you just play the entire song through. Thanks so much for posting this!

[@robbysimpsonradio4830]

Your voice is amazing This is really truly helpful Thanks!! 🙏

[@carljansen6896]

Very nicely done. Thank you. The intermission was a nice touch.

[@CKC411]

You pick the best songs to teach. Good taste, sir. I love that you do bands like Joy Division, The Stooges, Siouxsie, etc. AWESOME STUFF.

[@deannilvalli6579]

Very nicely figured out and explained. I think it's hilarious that Evan himself also confirmed your good work. And I agree with Brendan Tindall- you can sing pretty well!

[@tone.1]

Nailed it in seconds! The intermission was priceless ❤

[@lamper2]

i saw a lesson by Andy Partridge here on you tube where he shows the inverted E cord and suggests this is what made XTC sound different than other bands

[@acpg]

Yes interesting , these kind of inversions are all over XTC songs. Such a good songwriting trick, and an easy way of making otherwise familiar chord progressions sound fresh.

[@GirlPower342]

Thanks so much Adrian!😊 This is a super helpful lesson. For now I’m playing the inverted E chord without the low E string; sounds okay. With Halloween fast approaching, would you consider doing a (simplified) tutorial for “Ghosting” by Mother Mother?? Again, many thanks! 👻❤

[@JoshHorwitz]

Wow. Thanks so much for posting this incredibly helpful video. ED tunes just aren't the same w/o those wacky chord inversions, but I haven't been able to figure out what they are on my own. Would love to see more vids for Lemonheads tunes (Break Me)!

[@b52ro]

Very well presented, Adrian. Thanks a lot. Love the intermission. Hope the packages were as interesting as they looked.

[@brendantindall805]

love your singing voice Ive followed your channel, but haven't heard you sing on any cheers

[@elklakeradio8776]

Such a great teacher... thank you.

[@ronhedblad2415]

Thank you, Adrian -- great lesson. I agree; Evan Dando is a great songwriter

[@mheberling5939]

This guy is a fantastic teacher that has amazing taste in music. Maybe some Manchester-esc bands, like Charatans UK or Pale Saints?

[@johndowell1801]

I’m seeing the Lemonheads at the Roundhouse in a couple of weeks. If you need a hand with thisnumber Evan, I’m fully trained up …

[@ashleysmith1276]

One of my favourites. Bravo!

[@leebrianroberts]

[@TheJewellian]

Finally someone who gets the chords right!

[@rayredmusic]

[@Charliesmypup]

I guess the postman rings a bunch of times in the UK. Here in the States it's only twice.

[@ampman40]

Awesome. Great, accurate (as far as I can tell) and easy tutorial. Is that a D-28? I have one almost identical.

[@acpg]

Thanks Rick. Yes, D28, my favourite acoustic by far.

[@alfredoliguori2468]

[@alexanderfrazier4526]

hey man can you put a lesson to teenage fanclub- everything flows or alcoholiday

[@acpg]

I'll definitely consider it - I do very much like the Teenage Fannies, and there aren't many you tube lessons out there covering their songs.

[@mikepass5836]

Anything by Teenage Fanclub would be great 👍

[@countvond233]

Dude, play that in a pub an' yer gonna get a pint er twelve. A few bob, few quid, penny for the baby, bangers 'n mash and a loverly Guinness to wursh it down.

[@Mark_Williams300]

The Postman always knocks/rings twice

[@balthus69]
