Acoustic Guitar Lesson

[@clars7146]

Just to let you know… Amos Garrett, who originally played the song… Is alive and well here in November 2023 and I spoke to him the other day and he was practising lots as he had some corporate gigs at Christmas this year!

[@LudwigHohlwein1974]

The solo on this song is such a beauty.

[@drspago]

THANK YOU DAVE - this is a terrific yacht rock song. I love Amos Garret's lead in this song - quirky and perfect for the tune.

[@paulbaluch439]

It is always good to see Emily singing another one of those great songs to learn thanks for sharing your lesson collection

[@jamesdickinson4186]

Takes me back to being twelve and hearing the song on the radio in 73 or 74, love it. Great lesson Dave , wanted to learn this song for a long time.

[@HC_GUITAR]

I'm soaking this one up like a sponge! Classic song and Amos Garrett's solo is sublime! Very good indeed!

[@peterromano4405]

great the guitar and the singing...you are wonderful

[@royvandevender8461]

Thanks 4 sharing! Nice work!

[@richardclump]

This one has always been on my bucket list. Back in the 70’s when I was working on Aerosmith, Bad Co. songs, etc., my Dad told me I should learn this one. I’m sorry he never got to hear me play it. Thanks for the great breakdown of this classic. Yes, I dig it! You rock, Dave!

[@ricaradovargas8104]

You and your partner, Dave, are really good couple...God bless you both...we love you !

[@bobk9879]

Great video/lesson. Got a surprise (albeit a very nice one) when your good lady broke into song - really nice voice. Loved this number since I first heard it aged 12, and it never loses its magic. You’ve both done it great justice here. Well done and thank you very much. PS subscribed 👍😊

[@jaymesjmathias9390]

Emmy for Emily even if that's for movies only, this is a movie just don't have a roaring lion at the opening, it's got a beautiful voice/pretty lady singing midway through😊

[@lyndamcardle4123]

We dig it, we really dig it (too) !

[@stratdad8218]

[@salciaburri5133]

Thanks for this lesson. This will be good practice for me . This song always brings me back to a happy time in my life way back in the early 70's. I'm so glad I found your channel. I enjoy listening to your smooth chord changes on your acoustic guitar!

[@floydsmithjr7999]

I remember my mother punching up this song on the mini back of the booth juke box at the local diner, remember those? jeez Im older than I think I am.

[@artvandelay1555]

Thanks Dave. I always liked this one also. Cool chords. Emily has a nice smile by the way. Natural.

Great ! Love it 🎶❤️ Nice vocal from the lady I always thought this song was brilliant and unique musically n lyrically

[@bigdog1275]

Just incredible…you never disappoint…

[@stratdad8218]

Consider a lesson in the ‘Bakersfield Sound’? Perhaps a Buck or Merle song?

[@jeffreyogden8802]

Thx again

[@lyndamcardle4123]

The full Ebmaj7 (as you know you can play Dmaj7 the same way) is such a beautiful voicing....nice lesson Dave !

[@Relicsun]

Nice lesson, perfect voice!

@@DavesGuitarChannel no prob, you have the best channel on KZbin. You have the closest musical taste to mine on this planet..... Didn't think that was possible. I'm really enjoying the tutorials!

[@jimo50]

That voicing of Eb7 is basically impossible for a inexperienced player but then so is the whole song. Still you might want to help them out lol

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

Then again, I might not.

Your using terms I don' know, like "play it square". And another word you referred to the next Emaj7 becomes a "p......" I don't know the word you used or what it refers to. Other than that I like the lesson. Thanks

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

Play it square means play on the downbeats. Push the chord or saying it is played on the push means that instead of it coming in on one, it comes on 4 and off the previous bar. So 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 And, the chord will fall on the and. Technically in music this is called an anticipation. Playing the note or chord an 8th note early. The slang term for an anticipation is a push. In a song that has frequent pushes, when you say play it square, You are saying, play the chords on 1. Hope that clears it up.

[@steve60.]

@@DavesGuitarChannel Thanks for taking the time to respond to my dumbness it really helps. I had never heard those terms before. Oh well, even at my age, (which I won't mention at this time) I still have learning to do.

[@mattfoley6082]

What's a "push"?

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

A push is another word for anticipation. So instead of a chord starting on the downbeat of 1, it comes early on the upbeat of 4 and.

[@mattfoley6082]

@@DavesGuitarChannel I'm 62 years old. Been a bass player for 40 years and never heard that term until now. LOVE this song! Those chords are delicious.
