SYLVIA - Guitar lesson - Full song (with tabs) - Focus - fast & slow version

[@MrRFasters]

Jan Akkerman should be twice proud: to see his work respected here and you making a perfect example and tutorial on it.

[@PlaythatGuitar]

That's great! Thnx a lot and appreciated. :-))

[@tonyefc8423]

Please take note, all people giving guitar "lessons" on certain songs. THIS is how to give a guitar lesson to a song. Clear, consise, no confusion about chords/notes/bends etc, and a damn good replica of the original classic tune. If people are looking to give out guitar lessons, use THIS video as your template. You can't go wrong!

[@PlaythatGuitar]

Thank you very much for your kind comment and for your visit! Your support means a lot! PtG :-))

[@MrSyjdub]

Great content! Focus is one of my favorite bands. A great lesson. Thank you! From Brooklyn, NY.

[@stevegoddard9756]

Superb. I love the slowed version. ❤

[@guitnotes]

Jan Akkerman was one of the best guitarist ever!! Glad your doing this song!!

[@MrRFasters]

Agreed. But no worry. Jan still around and still playin' his chops. You need not refer to huim in his past tense. Nice to see his guitar career brought him in many directions. Jazz, Gypsy, Aoustics, Funk, PunkRock, Alternative, Blues, BluesRock. widely talented - wen looking at this wide range.

[@coloaten6682]

Well played Sir! Still one of my favourite tunes. Heard it on record as a kid, my parents owned it & had Hocus Pocus etc. Wonderful band of that era and still a tune that holds up alongside the great tunes of Burt Bacharach etc. When I lived in Holland my friends were amazed that I knew and loved Focus! Now I'm learning it on guitar in my 50s :)

[@rjprivate]

Thank you from Holland 🇱🇺

Is this in standard tuning ?

[@PlaythatGuitar]

Hello. Yes it is. :-))

[@sundancer667]

Real great playing, Sir! What are your Amp settings? Do you play through a plain simple clean channel? Do you use any kind of fx? Unfortunately, I can't tell from the youtube playback. Thanks a lot and keep on rockin'!

[@PlaythatGuitar]

Hello sundancer667. My gear: -Fender American Strat -Amp: Fender Princeton 112 Plus -Effects: Boss GT3 effects processor. For this song I used distortion, reverb, delay, compressor and tweaked some equalizer settings. Thnx a lot for your visit and for your great comment. Much appreciated. PtG.

[@sundancer667]

@@PlaythatGuitar Thank you so much Sir! Even though my playing ain't as fine as yours it's sounding much more authentic now with the fx you mentioned!!

[@davegreeley]

Like #34 and I can play this. Thnx up until the solo. Lol

[@PlaythatGuitar]

That's great and I'm glad to hear that. 😀
