Easy (Lesson) - Commodores

[@Green-cc4kf]

I often used capo to get things done but your version is so much better, thanks man!

[@TomTom-kv5nf]

Thanks! One of the things I love about this channel is the unexpected treasures!

[@bdubya63]

I never would have thought to do this song, but it's really fun to play. Thanks for broadening the repertoire.

[@michaelorourke3976]

[@seamanjive]

Been learning a few songs for a acoustic gig...love that little move on the Bm7 thing. I don't know what it's called either! Thx

You can sing too! Great job! Thank you.

[@stephenmichalski2643]

[@robertmandour5702]

Thank you so much, once again. I appreciate everything you do for us.

[@ibjamnndazone1255]

Damnit! Where was KZbin and you in the 70's when I needed you? I could have wooed all the cheerleaders!

[@thedoobiesistersandsackbla5718]

i would have wooed 2 at once.

[@davidgamboa918]

Help me time machine. Take me back to 80's

[@MarkRice-oy8qz]

Awesome breakdown dude! Best I've seen, thank you!

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Nice and simple little song. And you sing too. That might be harder to teach! Thanks!

[@Danman911]

Can really hear how great your acoustic sounds alone . Of course lesson and song is great. Thx

[@markcameron318]

Nice choice! Always wanted to do this one.

[@Dberesford10]

Thanks JJ. Nice relaxing strummer to break out when you need a good stress reliever. That song has always had a calming influence on me. That cord is an E7sus2

[@imola23]

E9. Just missing the major 3rd note.

[@michaelgallagher3640]

Sing it James!! Sing it!

[@harmonairbass]

Hey James, to identify guitar chords I use an app called "Reverse Chord Finder". It is quite handy. I hope that it helps. I appreciate you work here on KZbin. Thank you sir! Rock on! Dan from Newfoundland

[@DBTdad]

I really appreciate this one. My wife's favorite.

[@rwest8905]

That 4th chord looks like an E7. It appears to be the same intro chord McCartney uses on “Every Night”.

[@Jarcademis]

You, sir are a genius

[@jonhil33]

You could do the solo with a kazoo at the campfire :)

[@Dorian_sapiens]

That funky E chord is an E7sus2. The D on the 2nd string gives it the "7" part of its name. And the F# on the 1st string, when there's no major or minor third, gives it the "sus2" part. I think it's the same funky E chord George Harrison plays in "Nowhere Man", in that signature lick at the end of each verse.

[@imola23]

I think he only played it in the intro.

[@asssscats]

Download the *Chord Cracker" app. It'll tell you what chord you're using. Very helpful

[@miguelvoodooprime5050]

Great cover👌🏾

[@lancekalafut9914]

Another awesome job well done

[@PatrickDelumen-li1ko]

I wish I had a guitar like that😢

[@guitarDad100]

Well that was just "Easy"... Thanks for posting this lesson.

[@goomba7559]

Ahhhh.....dude....I just think yer fantastic as both a musician and a teacher.......great stuff here and on all of your lessons!

[@stewartshelburne2680]

Love the chord progressions

[@mn-kh2ro]

I think Lionel Ritchie's grandma taught him the piano. Lucky for us all.

[@brianmarcaida4140]

Nice.. thank you

[@Peter-rl4nc]

thanks James

[@stevespazolopolus7867]

Once again awesome and thanks !

[@georgeruiz1048]

Very nice.

[@mayito714]

What model Gibson is your acoustic? Thats the one I'm interested in and they have a ton of models.

[@jamesjames9275]

J200

[@mayito714]

@@jamesjames9275 Thank You!

[@reach1898]

Where you at James? Everything all right?

[@jamesjames9275]

Everything is just fine. I hope the same is true for you.

[@thedoobiesistersandsackbla5718]

nice

[@DrRussPhd]

Lionel Ritchie watch out!!!

[@Markle2k]

1:40 Looks like a D-shape Esus2 laid over an E power chord to me. Edit: That's a D7 shape. Duh. Chord Designer calls it an E7sus2 or a Bm/E

[@Dberesford10]

Markle2k E7sus2

[@patmcgroin9848]

thanks!

[@merrittkwarner8475]

Is this site still active?

[@imannonymous7707]

cool thanls man

[@jx14aby]

I like to keep my finger on my G string.

[@jukebox5308]

it"s my guess that E chord is a Em7/D ?

[@imola23]

No minor 3rd (G) note.

[@abejacgot]

Not the guitar skills, not your technical skills, although amazing, it's your ear I'm jealous of.

[@brianglade848]

The song is "Leaving".....cuz I'm leavingggggg.....leaving like Sunday mornin....

[@CaptainJBW]

I think it a Bm/E chord. thanks!

[@StevenJarrett1961]

This is easy? Lol

[@joeybologny6746]

Em7 EBEBDE.... Nice inversion though....

[@MrFrampo56]

Nothing minor about it. No flat third.
