your Privettricker library is so vast, it took me this long to figure out you moved. I just watched your Privettricker farewell video yesterday, and I'll be honest, I felt heartbroken when you explained how you were being treated by certain KZbin trolls. You've managed to singlehandedly create what is arguably the most comprehensive, easy to follow, and accurate encyclopedia of classic rock guitar lessons known to man. That, my good sir, is one hell of an accomplishment. How dare anyone on KZbin treat you any way other than with gratitude and respect. I'm sure I'm not alone in this sentiment. thanks so much for keeping it going!

The intersting thing to me is how he single handedly has made the most comprehensive guide pretty much just out of the joy for playing. Lots of other guitar playing "teachers" on youtube always feel like they talk down to you or throw lots of silly angles that make it weird to learn things. But James James/Privattricker and also the lady tokabilitor seem to combined have the best lessons ever!

I remember this from the PT channel as it was a big eye opener. When I can't find the capo, I still play it in the same key. When it comes to the E chord, I just play the B, G, and D strings on the 9th fret and occasionally hit the B string on the 10th fret. For what I'm doing, it's good enough. I do the same thing on the 9th and 7th frets after playing the F# minor chord on the 9th fret during the beginning of Under My Thumb. It's a gas.

hey James...love your lessons and your attention to detail. Question...I notice between this explanation of Monkey Man, and your lesson (both published on the same day), the main riff is played differently. In the lesson you hold down the 2nd & 3rd fingers (at 7th & 9th frets respectively) when you put your pinky on the 9th fret G string. In this explanation it looks like you always take off the 2nd & 3rd fingers when you put down the pinky. They both sound good. Did you notice something different between making the two videos? Is it just how you feel at the moment when you play this song? Thanks in advance!

There's definitely a capo in the studio version. It would sound pretty close without one but not as sharp as with one. I think the reason Keith used a capo in the first place is because it's standard tuning and standard tuning isn't good enough for him without some sort of modification haha.

right after he hits the minor to major 3rd of the C# on the A string (fret 5 and 6). He then goes to g and b strings on 6th fret and hits em at same time. it "feels" like there is a bit of bluesy bend in there. Same goes for the minor 7th after doing the 4th and 6 at the same time. Maybe I'm off...I think you do a great job...used to be in a stones cover band..that went nowhere.:) I think some of our half rendered stones tunes are on my channel.

I think you're correct that this is how it was done in the studio and that Keith does it differently on stage and that that doesn't really mean anything. The thing about Monkey Man though is that unlike lots of the open tuning songs, if you do it without the capo, it still sounds good, whereas most of the open tuning songs just sound like crap if you try to fake it in standard.
@jamesjames92758 жыл бұрын
+Whiskers B I suspect that the way Keith approaches tour rehearsals is to say, "Hey, let's do Monkey Man on this tour. What key is it in? OK, count it off..." And he doesn't even refer back to how he originally played it, he just comes up with an arrangement that works. Onstage, he's not worried about things like hammer-ons and suspensions. He approaches guitar playing like an impressionist approaches painting.
