Classic pop ballad... wonderful playing/performance, kind sir, and a great song for beginning guitarist, like me, to learn. Major Props! 🤓

Dave, i'm an old nam vet still chasing the greatest instrument, the guitar. I got my first acoustic while in the service and the action was so bad it bloodied my fingers but i loved it and couldn't put it down. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your skill and love of the instrument with me. Your method is great, i can't deal with the "first finger third string second fret" style, anyway thanks!

[@rose_elca]

Wow, big hands dude. Thanks for sharing, i really like to learn this piece

Great teaching lesson! Your not trying to show off and make the video about you, but the song your teaching.

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

Yes, the song is always the star. An artist without songs is an unknown artist.

[@headstockharem4]

That video is interesting....the lefty guitar guy (Graham Russell??) just flipped a right handed guitar over, heavy strings on the bottom, then for the chord arpeggios, he starts at the bottom to pick the lower strings first. Would be neat to hear if he started picking at the top (lighter strings) and went down like normal. Great lesson!

[@cagedoctaves]

The F with a G bass (you referred to as G11) is a 3rd inversion of an Fadd9 chord (1 - F : 3 - A : 5 - C : 9 - G). I'd write it as F/G (my personal preference - obviously). good video all the same.

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

I appreciate your comment however anytime I've ever done a session when the F/G chord appears as the 5 chord in a song song it is listed as a G11. The 1 b7 9 11. This is to inform you that this is the 5 chord. Let's you know it's going to resolve and also that you can put all kinds of tension on it. The way you named it would assume we all live in a bubble and we just look at chords without the surrounding information. Either way I appreciate you watching and I appreciate your comment.

[@cagedoctaves]

It's that old "implied" versus "absolute" harmony argument (and I bet you can guess which side we're both on). I'm more in the Joe Satriani camp with this one and try to resist ( for want of a better term) the bigotry that the chords will only be built in thirds and all else is an "alteration". I'm more of the view that sus2 and sus4 chords are distinct chord families and NOT neutered major or minor chords. Anyway thanks for the reply.

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

The a chord is acting as a 5. That chord wants to see tension when you play against it. So, if I am playing or anyone is playing for that matter and you called the chord an F(add9) in the 3rd inversion. I am thinking this is the 4 chord of the song and therefor I am playing pretty much to the key, here would be in the key of C. However, when you call it a 5 chord, therefor calling it a G11, which let's me know this is a dominant chord. I then can play tensions to this because I know it will resolve back to the root. So therefor I an play G double diminished, I can play Ab Melodic Minor. Hell I can even play F# major over this chord. Because the chord is actually a 5 chord. As far absolute harmony or whatever you were talking about in your point, or whatever Joe Satriani says, I would have no idea. I am simply looking at it from a musical standpoint the Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Allen Holdsworth, Bill Evans, etc would look at it. Watch my live stream this wednesday I will be discussing understanding the 5 chord.

[@cagedoctaves]

​@@DavesGuitarChannel making the Fadd9 into the 5 chord and renaming it G11 - in actuality the way you play it it's G11 (with no 3rd or 5th) : 1- G b7-F 9-A 11-C ; is the "usual" jazz implied harmony version (which allows all the lead guitar scale jiggery-pokery you've described which I fully understand and accept that's how you deal with it). However, I'd contend that this is NOT a jazz song and rather than your concocted 5 chord (producing a perfect cadence) this is really a plagal cadence where a 4 chord is used instead of a 5 chord. We can argue all day about what the writer intended from this chord (unless we hear it from him in person we'll never know), and your version allows jazz type soloing as you've described, but treating it as a 4 chord would introduce other less well trodden paths for improvisation. Anyway I've embedded your video into the bottom of my weekly blog (if that's OK). Cheers from England....cagedoctaves.com/blogozon683.html

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

Most jazzers works refer to my chord as the G9sus4, however if you ever watched my theory show, you works see the clip i use at the intro where Donald fagen calls the chord C/G a D11. Again as a working player doing sessions, when the chord was acting as the 5, that's the way it was written

[@eagles_s]

Love this F/G11/G7 “trick”. Ive been using it in other songs and its such a nice easy turnanround.

[@JackTheRabbitMusic]

nice. I do a cover of this lol...everyone makes fun of Air Supply, but this is a great song.🤘🙂

[@johnathanb8291]

Everyone loves airsupply

[@bmoore5868]

Good job here.... Regarding the lefty in Air Supply: I'm a left handed guitar player and have about 3 people in successful bands play right handed guitars in such ways... It stresses me to watch

[@rr8012]

With due respect, pls tag it as Lesson Not For Beginners. You did well but wasn't of any help to me though. But please keep it it up. Help begets blesssings. Hope to see you again but in more detailed of a lesson, if you care for. Bye.

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

If you want beginner lessons, there are plenty of great guys on here. Marty Schwartz for instance. That's not what I do.
