Marrakesh Express (Lesson) - Crosby, Stills and Nash

[@550zoom]

JJ you are one of the best. Short, sweet and to the point. Thanks.

[@billcrook9602]

Many thanks, I enjoyed watching, and I just wish my 77 year old pinkie could get onto the 6th string so often.

[@jimmorrow6523]

I am a huge Nash fan, never thought this song would be in my reach, but thanks for your clear lesson, I can do this.

[@alanmcclelland5245]

[@TypicalGirls]

One of my main go-to songs to play...and such a fun song to play, too.

[@alkitzman9179]

Once again a cool choice for the day. Can't wait to get home and give this a whirl. I live in Milwaukee so a Packers and also a Bills fan. Hope to see them meet in the Super Bowl. Keep up these great lessons James

good one...

[@SpuzzyLargo]

For what it's worth, to this day I still have an "official" songbook of that CSN album from back in the day, and it says C G x3 (not C G Am G C G) in the chorus. Something like: Intro: G/D(D@7)-G5/D(xx078-10) Dm7(D@5)-Dm9(xx0560) x2; Verses: G/D Dm9 Dm7, G/D Dm9 [or simpler "campfire chords here: G Dm7 x2] Em A7 C*(x32030) D-Ds4-D-Ds2; Chorus: C G x3, Em A7 C-D-G, Extra: All on board: Dm7 G x2; Bridge: Bm G G/F# E C; Verse 3; Chorus x2; Extra; Coda: Dm9 or just Dm7

[@jamesjames9275]

“Official” song books aren’t worth much, in my opinion. But play it however you hear it.

[@SpuzzyLargo]

@@jamesjames9275 I agree, JJ. In my youth, before KZbin and other internet resources to help me learn songs (like your fantastic channel here), I had to take what I could find--like fellow guitar-playing pals and the occasional songbook. Perhaps like you, I found over the years that most songbooks to be pretty simplistic, and for many that's okay. But some have some sour-sounding chords/arrangements. Ouch to my ears! (A rare exception is Milton Okun's 1981 two-volume "The Compleat Beatles"; it's a superb songbook that I still reference today.

[@SpuzzyLargo]

Anyway, I believe that the cowboy chords suggested in my initial post above can sound pretty good playing guitar, sitting around a campfire with friends.... and we all shine on...

[@stitchgrimly6167]

0:44 that's G.

[@sg40011]

sabers!

[@Johan14Cruyff]

Shit load of fun! Up the Bills

[@danny1959]

The electric guitar is a steel guitar played by Jerry Garcia, I believe.

[@jamesjames9275]

That’s Teach Your Children. This one is Stephen on electric guitar (overdubbed in harmony).

[@danny1959]

@@jamesjames9275 I can't believe I've had this wrong all of these years! I read it somewhere.

[@GaryBook]

Good luck on the Buffalo Bill’s express.

[@deedubslite]

I think "that D chord" is a G??? not an A.

[@SeadartVSG]

Yup- we all have brain farts.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Yep!

[@DoctorDauer]

Which model Martin is that?

[@jamesjames9275]

D41.
