@@jeanserrano2395 WoW! It sounds even better.

[@blobikon7164]

great video with all the parts in greatly explained just two minor details in main riff: it's A to E not C#minor - first of all it would be C# minor 7 but since the song is in E i think E makes more sense second I think that last chord change in main riff alternates, once its E to A and sometimes it's B (4th fret) to A

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

I think it’s all about how you perceive and visualise the chord. C#min shares the same triad makeup as an Emaj, so they function the same way, and they even sound the same in that arena. The C#m7 could also be interpreted an an inversion of E as an E/C# Same with the other chord. The E I refer to it based off a CAGED shape, it’s technically an E/A because of the bass note I’m playing. You could also imagine this as a B6sus4 with an A in the bass, which functions as a Bmaj, which is why it doesn’t sound out of place. I think a lot of chord based harmony is how you hear it and what makes you play it better.

[@blobikon7164]

@@LeighFugeGuitar sure any major chord is basicaly minor7 from relative minor key my point was that song is in E major and overal sound of main chord sequence is major so naming it E makes more sense at least for me there's one more thing i've noticed in your otherwise great video those diads funky riffs he is playing in different positions using D and G strings for first and third chord and A and D (like you do) for remaining chords

Hey, Leigh! Make sure to bring a tutorial for all of the songs of the new album! We will spend a lot of time on your channel! haha

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Hey Kanard, Thank you so much for checking out the video! I do plan on making a bunch more tutorials soon, so maybe a few of the new JM tunes will make it haha!

[@owenthunderguns3608]

Awesome video and great playing! I think the first verse (when he says roll me all night long) the chords are A/E/E/A -exactly like you're playing. However on the next go around (when he says use me till im gone) i believe the chords are A-slide up to B/B then back to A. Minor difference and both sound good...There's alotta TOTO in this song and the keyboard player in TOTO would often slide up to B if they were hangin on A.

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Hey Owen, Thanks for checking the video out. Yeah I saw that change. Technically, the E I play (Which is technically an E with an A in the bass) could also be viewed as a B6sus4 which would also function as a variation of a Bmaj chord (Which is why it doesn't sound out of place). It's VERY Toto! I guess John was binging on his 80s rock before writing this haha!

[@owenthunderguns3608]

@@LeighFugeGuitar Oh OK- Nice...sounds great!

[@crystalskyesvt]

This is awesome! (corrected:). What was the chain of effects or are they in the order that you list them? (Also a Helix user)

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Hey Crystal, Thanks for checking out the video, glad you enjoyed it! The patch is available via my website store as part of a Helix patch bundle I have available: www.rightnotesmusictuition.com I wanted to create a JM style patch that can handle a bunch of JM era tones in one.

[@scarletbond2716]

Solo starts with a bend on 15th.

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Yeah I've seen a few others play it that way too. Just my interpretation of it though. As long as people have fun learning it and play it in a way they enjoy that's all that matters.

[@vincentchen5341]

I suppose you got the speed force, flash!

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Haha! I'm not sure what the speed force is... but I'm assuming its a good thing?

[@vincentchen5341]

@@LeighFugeGuitar Lol. It’s Flash’s power source for him to run fast enough to do the time travel thing.

[@javamon]

So I'm thinking something different for that lick that you said is tricky in the solo at 18:10. I think he bends the 17th on the b string and then hits the 12th fret of the e string. What do you think?

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Hey! That's also a great take on it. I've seen someone else play it that way too. I love that it can be interpreted in different ways. I went for the single string approach because to my ears it sounded more like the notes were gliding together. I did consider it the way you just explained, but to my ears it didn't sound as pleasing. I'd love to see a close up of how John does that line!

[@javamon]

@@LeighFugeGuitar kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqqUlpR4fZeHjJo Looks like 12th fret to me. Interesting, he doesn't play chords during the verse. Mostly just sings.

[@williamdeweese2546]

This is very well done! But it’s missing one thing in your tone. Can you tell me how he gets that 90’s Clapton tone? (Is that a wah wah half way pushed?) I want that sound lol

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Thanks William, I didn't try to replciate the tone of the track, I just used a JM style tone that I always use for this kind of thing. I'm using a Line 6 Helix in the video for my tone. In the video he looks to be using a combination of a Soldano, Dumble, Roland JC120 and something else. The Soldano will definitely add to the Clapton vibe.

[@gchrysos]

maybe its just me, but it would be a lot clearer if you had visible markers on the fretboard. I'm counting to see which fret you are on because the markers are too dim

[@GabeWilliams]

Speedy fast!

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Thank you man! It's a great track too, it's a lot of fun to play.

[@billysterndale3873]

He’s even got the pink guitar

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

I do indeed!!

[@bern1e74]

What amp/pedal settings would you suggest? Thanks in advance.

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Hey Paul, It depends what amp you're using to try to get the tone. What setup are you running at the moment?

[@jakedelgado2248]

I have a helix floor and would like to know your litigator settings!

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Hey man, Thanks for checking out the video! Glad you enjoyed it. The patch is available via my website as part of a bundle of Helix patches: www.rightnotesmusictuition.com I based it around a few different JM tones so it covers quite a lot of ground.

I'm trying to learn this song but I just can't use my thumb like that, any tips?

[@Andrew-oj2yr]

Just keep practicing guitar, it takes time, tip: whenever you're playing a bare chord, use your thumb to cover low E string, instead of point finger

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Hey Julian, Great question, it takes a little while to get that technique down. The trick is to try to stretch your thumb over, which at first is the hard part. A good way to get used to it is to learn a D/F# chord, which is a D major chord (played in the usual way) but with your thumb playing the 2nd fret of the Low E string. This gets you used to using the thumb, then once you start to feel comfortable using your thumb, try some of the chord shapes in this lesson. The chords in this lesson are essentially just your regular barre chord shapes, but John plays them in this way (Breaking them into a triad and a root note) which he got from Hendrix.

[@danielpleitez-martinez7638]

How do you learn a song that fast? Can’t learn thoroughly that fast can you?

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Hey Daniel, I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and because I play professionally, I've gotten pretty good at learning lots of things in a short space of time. I'm used to getting given a setlist of 30 songs to learn in a week, so learning a song in a day is quite a nice change of pace haha!! Thanks for checking the video out! Hope you've learnt something fun from it. Check out my guitar course link in the description, there is a download of some free licks which are great for testing your learning speed!

[@jaymills1720]

Could you get away without an amp and a helix? Thinking of selling amps and pedals

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Yeah absolutely. I'm not using a real amp in this video, only my Helix. I've done loads of gigs with my Helix too, plugged straight into the PA with no amps on stage.

[@jaymills1720]

Hey Shaheer, Thanks for the comment. I'm using a Line 6 Helix for the tone. I have a patch bundle available via my website store, if you're a Helix user you can get the patch there. www.rightnotesmusictuition.com

Why am i watching this? I can barely go from D to C in under 3 seconds....

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Keep at it man! You'll get it! It's tricky, but with persistence you'll nail it. If you need any help with that check out my guitar course, www.rightnotesmusictuition.com, there is a huge beginners tier and there is a focus on chord changes in some of the lessons.

[@TheFlyingPlectrum]

18:30 that is not how JM plays it. It's much easier just to move up a string kzbin.info/www/bejne/pF6Vc2ihrrGBpLc

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

I filmed this video within a few hours of the single coming out so at that point there was no videos of JM playing it, just how I heard it. He's quite keen on changing finger patterns with solos, he changes things up live a lot to keep it interesting so I wouldn't be surprised if he's played it a few different ways.

I think there's supposed to be some kind of unwritten law against wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt and playing a pink guitar at the same time.

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

No, I checked. It's perfectly legal to do so. The law seems to be ok with it.

[@Ottophil]

There should be a law against thinking something is wrong with a color.

[@TJISLA]

Horroroso. Sacar el dedo por detrás del mástil.

[@LeighFugeGuitar]

Why? There is nothing wrong with putting your thumb anywhere that it feels comfortable. Also, it's worth noting that this technique is used by John Mayer, Hendrix and many other players... surely they aren't all wrong too?
