LESSON - Baby Come Back by Player

[@glencruciani]

I play in a Yacht Rock band here in Connecticut, and we do this song and many others in this vein. I don't think enough musicians these days have a true appreciation for how musical and challenging this genre is. I'm in my early 50's so it's probably more nostalgic for me because I grew up in the 70's. Thanks Dave for being such a fantastic resource!

[@luisaragon9435]

Your awesome Dave! The greatest! I hope I can learn this! My wife would love this very much! Im going to surprise her!

[@guitarwayneo]

Another great song and lesson. Thanks Dave !

[@utuberanter]

Those chords form such a beautiful groove. Thank you for breaking down this song. I've enjoyed it for 50 years and never even considered trying to playing it. I've got a new favorite jam of the month! Great stuff!

[@scotto0010]

I really like how you go into the theory of what makes up these songs and even the transposition with remarkable clarity.

[@elvampiro.8631]

Congratulations Mr. Dave. the precise way of playing the songs is impressive, I'm from México and I follow your channel, I hope to learn to play soon.

[@tonyweaver835]

So glad I found your channel!! Great songs and you are a good instructor!!

[@raymondvaughan6262]

Great nice chords to a great tune thanks great job

[@shayh.3556]

Appreciate the break down on the progressions man. This song has so many different chord charts but your version sounds the most accurate. Always been a fan of his guitar work on this song!

[@americanbanned]

Hey master I like the way you teach .thank you very much .for me its clear .I love this song .Saludos .

[@plgplgplg]

You're bringing back my teen-aged years man. On the way to the lake, a.m. radio, sunny days, love it. Oh yeah, cool progression and shapes too, thanks.

[@LaTrec9]

This song is the Anthem of all broken 💔 s

[@shayh.3556]

So 4 months ago the G/A (A11) chord thats used in old R&B/Funk a lot was giving me trouble (never seen it before besides a Luther Vandross song) so I gave up on this song but now have it down and man great lesson, probably the best for this song on KZbin if you ask me! Thanks a lot bro

[@frontyardfun]

Excellent lesson! Thank you.

[@markdickenson1338]

Great lesson 👍

[@domhaul1]

i freaking love your channel and have learned so much, you are an amazing teacher and player

[@christos7344]

Thanks for posting. Excellent AM Gold song!

[@staylor537]

The A 11 or G/A is definitely it Dave, thanks for proper teaching .

[@sgt.majorburtontruxal249]

Thanks man, I like this song and the way you play it ... makes use of practical sounding notes for the acoustic guitar. (I enjoy playing and singing; my biggest fans are my dog's and they love to harmonize .. lol)

[@MegaQwerty2000]

I remember noticing that 10cc's "I'm not in Love" and " Player's Baby Come Back" have similar chord structure.

[@alanmcdowell977]

Have a Happy New Years Dave's Guitar Channel Think you so much for your time Teching guitar songs and lessons

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

Happy new year

[@larryaustin6977]

Great lesson! Love your channel. Keeping it all to myself and not telling my guitar buddies about it. So they just think I am a super good player. Ha! Just kidding. I will spread it far and wide.

[@mikeg3660]

Great song...nice job Dave!

[@roberteberhart1139]

Another great one

[@markseevers9964]

That A7 is a sweet little cord ! Thanks Dave

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

The A11?

[@markseevers9964]

Lol yes Dave A 11 , I don’t know how I typed in 7 , 😊

[@markseevers9964]

Thanks for your lessons Dave , From Melbourne in the land down under

[@insidechocolatewithjimothy5313]

Yes also called a slash 4 over 5 if I am not mistaken. Not used very often as a starting Chord but used to tremendous effect in this really great song. The only other I can think of is Marc Jordan's "Only Fools" from is Debut lp produced by Gary Katz. Works really well there as well. Any other examples comrades ?

[@jahjah67]

Suggestion for you-The Things We Do For Love by 10CC. Seems like it’d be in your wheelhouse and I’ve always loved the song. Thanks for all the cool lesson videos and the effort involved.

[@dannyfittro7438]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love this song, and I did not know these chords or the leads. You really expanded my abilities and opened my mind to possibilities. Thank you so much!

Excellent video and performance Dave! Have a fantastic week my friend!🎷🎷

Sometimes KZbin is a fucking blessing. I was listening to the song because it popped into my head, and KZbin plays your lesson as the next title. I love you, my brother, for teaching me this song. And you have been subscribed.

[@Nundahmusic]

Excellent! Thanks Dave.

[@barybowman1914]

Yup great song...always been one of my favs too..

[@objectiveobjective1948]

Doesn't matter how long ago , that was superb

[@JackTheRabbitMusic]

I used to do an acoustic cover of this tune. Love it!❤️🤘🐰

[@PaleRider638]

Hey Dave.. Just wanted to tell you I prefer your version. Dam easier to remember. And you explained it well. Thats something for me. Whereas you can play it 20 times I have to play it 100 times to "get it" Got this one right away. And yes this is a great song from the 70s The guitarist for player (Peter Beckett) is also the guitarist from The Little River Band Thanks again brother.. Ciao! Benedica! The old guy

[@kibo46]

Very well done! Thank you!

[@Andreu_de_Valls]

moltes gràcies. Thanks. Very good.

[@saltymike1247]

Excellent stuff, Dave!!!!!

[@markbaum9615]

Dave..you're 150% correct...... Thanks again for your accurate interpretation....

[@dbfcrell8300]

This is a more complex song, or shall I say well-constructed song than most players know or give it credit for. I've always put this tune in the same category as tunes like Dance With Me and similar sleepers that I love. Thanks for showing all the reverse engineering tid bits

[@Drummerboy135]

Great song! I’m just getting it down and it’s a great classic. Also Mom annoys me when she sings along to it in the car lmao

[@rajeshgumber363]

Just Brilliant!

[@rajeshgumber363]

Hi Dave, just wanted to ask if you could do a lesson on a song by Chairman of the Board called "Give Me Just A Little More Time?" Thankyou

[@craigtaylor9407]

Excellent Dave, Thanks, Great lesson, I use a harmonizer, and wow, does that fill it in,, People love to hear this stuff from the 70's,, Brings back many memories, and like a lot of songs , you could name where you were when you first heard it. oh, to go back in music time 40 years ago, So much superior to todays plain/ flat meaningless " music " and I use that term lightly !

[@miscellanyman263]

It was that period of the 70’s with Ambrosia, Player, Pablo Cruise and Little River Band, all of whom had “that sound” which made them sound similar. “Magnet & Steel” (Walter Egan): I always thought was Fleetwood Mac! lol. Great stuff here, Dave! 😎

[@henry-joemurphy1286]

70's BABY!!!!

[@stephengoh5456]

Super! Thanks for sharing!

[@gleissonchaves]

I love this song.

[@BentTom]

The ending was the best. Richard Christy is great. "You're on the money. You hit the nail, the target right on the head". Classic!

[@jahjah67]

Man, I’ve watched several of your videos and this song is definitely one of my favorites from my childhood. It seems like the 11th chord is really the secret sauce for many of these songs. I’ve definitely learned a few things just since discovering your channel a couple weeks ago. Nice stuff

[@petewentz3528]

Check out Hall & Oates "She's Gone".....for one....applying the 11th chord and then progressing to a major chord one full step up with same bass note.

[@arturoaguilajr2009]

You inspire me sir

[@JMACIEL20120620]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH DAVE FOR TEACHING ME THIS SONG THE BEST WAY. THAT WAS REALLY HEALPFUL. BLESSINGS UPON YOU. P.S.: I USE CAPS LETTER DUE TO MY LACK OF VISON.

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

YOU ARE VERY WELCOME!!!!

[@petewentz3528]

Dave, the chord voicings are incredible....they capture the delicate nuances of this classic 70's tune. Here's a request: Can you and the lovely Emily do your acoustic cover of B-C-B......I'd love to hear her vocal.

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

Sure, we both love it, sometimes we do a triotrio. My other singer in AM Station sings and Emily and I do the harmonies.

[@petewentz3528]

@@DavesGuitarChannel Okay, something for me to look forward to. I heard you reference Baby Come Back in another video and just searched for it. You continue to blow me away with the great song material from the 60's, 70's .....whether Three Dog Night....Player....Burton Cummings...Thank you, sir.

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

I am so glad to hear that

[@petewentz3528]

Props once again, Dave. I commend you for the wonderfully entertaining and informative tutorials on music that form chapters of some of we old guy's social life from decades ago. Appreciate your sharing all this great knowledge. As someone below opined, the music of Player, Ambrosia with David Pack, Pablo Cruise and other similar groups deserve to be resuscitated as you do when you serve up a lesson. For a good number of guitar hackers, the acoustic guitar is the instrument of choice no matter whether the original recording featured electric guitars. If you get the right chords, proper voicings, and the added embellishment of lead fills or riffs from the tune, it can be 7th Heaven. Rock on......

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

This is the best compliment. When I teach, I want people to understand the song. The structure etc.

[@musicismyreligion5213]

I really dig this song and have for decades. And usually I wouldnt want to change from the original key on such a classic tune, but in this case I agree that it does seem to ring better in 'A' on the acoustic. It helps when trying to sing those high notes too.

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

Exactly 😊

I remember when Howard Stern went ballistic on Richard Christy for pranking him... he said "you've been Richard Christie'd..." and Howard was pissed and sent him to the hospital and threatened to fire him. It was ... well.. funny and not funny. Anyway, dude you are a great guitar teacher. I've been at it for over 50 years. Even though I'm an Eddie Van Halen clone, I love the songs that were popular when I was young and innocent. Player, Hues, all of them.. so, so many.. ELO... I've been searching ALL OVER for the correct version of "Rock the Boat" it's got some very cool chord progressions just like "Baby come back" ... and I know these songs word-for-word, and i can actually sing well, I just can't find the right chord progressions. I could beat myself up like I did when I was 18 playing 24 hours a day, but I'd rather just SEE someone play it correctly. That's all it would take. The covers on youtube are downright embarrassing.

[@jameswillis1742]
