Folks, my new music video is out today, check it out and please subscribe to my project channel, thank you kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIOWgYJuoKqniMU

[@ansonrey9234]

Pro tip : you can watch series at Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies these days.

[@kaiserchaim6739]

@Anson Rey Yea, been using Flixzone} for months myself =)

[@veshaw.]

Sounds good Yung blood you got soul ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[@deehouse7400]

Awesome, Awesome lesson. I really like when a teacher gives alternate picking/chording. Very, Very good......I subscribed.

[@NemoCee]

Glad that worked out yeah, thank you!

[@ferdynantkiepski8309]

I like your style you're musical and you have nice feel man! and it is so good not hear the theory crap like most guys do. They talk for half an hour before they play a note. well done thanks

[@NemoCee]

Thanks homie. Gonna record a new video today. I'll put it up tomorrow. Rock on!

[@douglaschristine8387]

Nice name Nemo, I haven't heard this song in years and now I'm playing it, yeah. I saw them at Circle Star theater in Redwood City back in the 70's. Peace.

[@NemoCee]

oh wow, that would have been amazing, right in their prime

[@glstewart9469]

Thanks! I was able to come up with something suitable for my own enjoyment to make this work for me with how you showed how you do it. For those of us lesser players if you used a guitar with the neck marked it would be easier to follow. I have to count from the nut to know where you are sometimes. GS

[@Piper707]

Thank you, excellent transcription! I looked at a lot of videos, but you got all the nuances down perfectly!

[@NemoCee]

I'm picky with certain chords and will 'cut corners' where I feel it doesn't hurt the song. Glad this one worked for you.

[@rubinfricejr3341]

Really good lesson bro Your the best I've seen..you really know the right chords..I'm a guitar player also a RYTHYM player and I know for a fact that you're really on top of your craft..I will be watching you all the time and extremely close.. Great job...please keep posting

[@NemoCee]

Thanks Rubin. I haven't been posting lessons lately but your comment just inspired me to post another one this week. Probably another Stevie track. Axe.

[@kwekuhodgson1976]

This video's turned me into an instant subscriber!! Looking 4ward to learning beautiful tunes and chords!

[@TDTMFM]

Nemo this is crazy. It just sounds so mellow man. This will be one I learn off of U.

[@jsmcguireIII]

chord substitutions very helpful. thanks nemo. golden lady also nicely done.

[@givorget9658]

Dude - thanks! Saved me a ton of time trying to hear it

[@lingsto195]

I nailed Golden Lady, now I'm going to work on this....a thousand thanks, my musical brother!!

[@corybrown8296]

That was a great lesson... Love to see you right hand strumming... Thanks

[@NemoCee]

Glad it helped. I've been made aware of this. My newer videos have a second shot of the right hand as well. Axe.

[@rinasax]

Excellent chord transcription. The most accurate in sound. Thank you Nemo

[@NemoCee]

Oh right on!

[@anthonyjones2441]

Thank you so much. The lesson just lifted my soul & I haven't learned it yet but I will before morning. Thanks Man 👍🎸!

[@jazclemente8121]

Yeah for sure. Did you try learning it yet?

[@qwill1998]

Groovin' with music theory! Awesome! Thank you

[@Thrombip]

Very nice transcription with beautiful technique and pleasant vocals. Also excellent amount of detail, explanation and graphics. just about perfect, friend. Thank you!

[@jazclemente8121]

Thanks so much. Hope it helps bring all the joy of this beautiful song.

[@royraken7746]

First time to your site. Excellent lesson on a classic tune.

[@Larrymh07]

You fine tuned me here on this great song. Thank you!

[@NemoCee]

haha, excellent. I want to do 'after the love has gone' but has so many key changes that one

[@Larrymh07]

@@NemoCee My E.W.&F song right now is, Love's Holiday. Not only the terrific guitar solo, but I'm not used to grabbing the major and minor 9th chords as quickly as needed.

[@microtex1]

Great job Nemo..really smooth indeed! Got it down pat, thanks to you for doing all the heavy lifting here. Good inversions too...really skilled. Larry Brown, USN-Ret.

[@jazclemente8121]

Definitely. Thanks for the compliment and for watching.

[@jasonsanford8926]

Nemo I'm a keyboard player. One of the things that's VERY frustrating to me is not being able to voice chords the way I would or could on the keyboard BUT you have truly solved that with this tutorial! Thanks Sooooo Very Much!!!!

[@NemoCee]

Thanks for the comment Jason. Very glad this helped out.

[@Baci302]

Excellent video. Just what I was looking for. Thank you. Liked and subbed.

[@NemoCee]

Thanks a bunch!

[@AnjaliNatarajan]

Awesome! This just saved me a few hours of transcribing - thank you!

[@kenq7948]

Excellent. I learned a lot, thanks

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

Great lesson. I've been on several lessons for this song and they all offer different ways to play it. Each lesson works and I love incorporating all the different changes. They all start with the same first chord and then it's all over the fretboard. Keeps it interesting and challenging. Thank you for your input.

[@ramen41rungasamy]

Stephen Adams more joy to give than receiving... thanks

[@patdorn4436]

Very nice! Thanks for posting. nice voicings.

[@gavett]

Thank you for this. You capture the original rhythm as it is integrated with the melody. Btw, you have a really pretty voice. 🙂

yo thanks @mysticalgoldfishbowl

[@josephl.briggs4734]

Awesome, thanks for that! ...Very nicely done. I'm in love with this song, atm. :) ...Wow, Lenny Kravitz really stole this for It Ain't Over, didn't he!

[@jazclemente8121]

It's funny cause it's almost in the same key I think, may be off by a half step or so, and I think he uses more suspended chords, so it sounds less melancholic or sad than this one.

[@永野啓三]

Great lesson! thankyou!

[@Dougwarren69]

Nicely done, sir!

sooooo nice and sooo beautiful. thank you for your lesson. More EWF and Georgy Porgy acoustic ver please , which no once on youtube could find right chord i guess. Last but not least, next time , please use guitar with fret position mark .

[@NemoCee]

+ca911 yoichiro Right, You're welcome. I don't have a steel string guitar with inlays for viewers unfortunately. I'll just point it out.

[@leefowler3240]

outstanding and I got it all down

[@tonyb8660]

thanks for showing the fingering. A lot of vids just show a text for the chords and a side view of the neck, which is useless. This is good.

[@NemoCee]

Nice, glad it worked out.

[@jadeheart57]

thank you very much for posting. you noted that the root/C# stays in position for main riff, true. but i think it wld've been helpful to note that the root note is ALSO "walking down". this is a very popular and tasteful guitar (and piano, obviously) technique: to have a note, be it the root or 3rd or 4rth note of the primary/intro chord walking down while the other notes are subtly rearranged to accommodate what is a rather straight forward walk down. thanks again for posting - i woke up to a snow blizzard and just HAD to learn to play this song. :)

[@NemoCee]

Hi there James. That's right, the root stays in place, and it's the color of the chord that changes, not the root. It wouldn't be accurate to say that the root also changes, as it cannot both change and not change simultaneously. The way EWF plays it is they fix that root (which is how I explain it here). If you were to think of it as a moving root, then the chords would be called something different and the song would sound slightly different, try it. Peace.

[@smooooth46]

man that was great

[@jeanlouissorin7598]

very nice TUTO. It is a pity to not see the right hand. Thank you

[@jazclemente8121]

I think I tried to get as much detail on the chord hand as possible. But a shot of the right hand would be nice, agreed.

[@NemoCee]

Thanks for the suggestion, I've now setup 2 angles to get the right hand too!

The significance of this beautiful song to me; this may not apply to everyone but perception is in the eye of the beholder. "Hearts of fire creates love desire" (Our hearts being put through the refiners fire creates within us a desire to ❤ love) Zechariah 13:9 "Take you high and higher to the 🌎 world you belong" (Taking us to Mount Zion or Yahrushalayim, the city which sits high upon a hill) Hebrews 12:22 "High and higher to your place on the throne" (Another reference to Yahrushalayim, YAHUSHA Ha'Mashiach is the only One who sits on that 'throne' fixed in His kodush city) Isaiah 9:7 "We come together on this special day" (Remember to KEEP this day set apart and to have a kodush convocation on it for YAH-Shabbat, His day of rest) Lev.23:3 "Sing our message loud and clear" (He inhabits the singing & praises of His people) Psalms 22:3 "Looking back, we've touched on sorrowful days" (He will wipe away every tear) Rev.21:4 "Future pass, they disappear" (Time will be no more one day) Rev.10:6 "You will find peace of mind" (YAHUAH gives us perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him) Isaiah 26:3 "If you look way down in your heart and soul" (To love YAH with all of your heart, soul and strength) Deuteronomy 6:4-5 "Don't hesitate because the 🌎 world seems cold" (This world is not our home, with all of it's wickedness and cold hearted people) Hebrews 13:14-16 "Stay young at heart, 'cause your never, never old" (Unless we become like children, we will never enter His kingdom or kodush city) Matthew 18:3 "That's the way of the world" (Do not be conformed to this world, but transformed) Romans 12:2 "Plant your flower and you grow a pearl" (A sower went forth, some seed fell on good soil, and the kingdom of YAH is like a costly pearl of great price) Matthew 13:8 Matthew 13:45-46 "Child is born with a heart ❤ of gold" (For unto us a child is born, a son is given) Isaiah 9:6 "Way of the world makes His heart so cold" (Though YAHUSHA's words seem cold, we are given a choice to choose Him and gain life or not choose Him and lose life) Matthew 10:34-39 Again depth and meaning are different for everyone. I love this song and this is just what I interpret when listening to it. 🤗❤🌍 BARAK YAHUAH YAHUSHA L'OLAM 🙌 ♥

[@grandpabobbydean]

Thanks for the lesson!!! This will give me something to work on for the next few MONTHS! (since I only know one or two of these chords) Did you figure this out by ear or find a transcription somewhere? Either way, thanks again!

[@NemoCee]

+Robert Peck Hi Robert, Glad this is inspiring you to learn more chords. They do great progressions. I pick these by ear, most pop songs stay within a few chords, even EWF, they use more colorful chords but nothing too out there. Jazz songs however present quite the challenge for me to pick by ear.

[@melroberts7987]

Wow..just..wow

[@NemoCee]

I'll take that as a positive wow, in which case, glad it helped.

Hi hi there, no I don't have the tab for this, don't think I've ever written tabs for a song now that I think of it. Is it that my fingering in the video is too small?

[@jasonsanford8926]

Hey Nemo, do you play keys? I'm just wondering how are you able to voice your chords like that? May I ask, what type of training do you have? I was taught private lessons and then I studied in high school and college.

I suppose I'm not too sure what you are asking about? What specifically about the chords?

@@NemoCeeThanks! Well I HAD a Gibson 335 sunburst circa 1984 and the first Roland Guitar Synth (including the guitar with the hex pickups) but sold both to go back to school. This was before the internet so there was not a lot of good educational material, just books and trying to decipher stuff from vinyl! I haven't played for a while but I'm looking for some instruments to get back in there. I 've got a ton of courses from all the great sites t help me out this time and I am a quick study!

[@NemoCee]

@@deaconblues3964 right on, but was also kind of magical to find a treasure of something educational that was so valuable. I got a little bit of that, but this era is also amazing to learn. Really comes down to 'what do I want to learn today?'.

[@deaconblues3964]

@@NemoCee Yeah. Later on, at the end of the eighties I discovered great material by Ted Green (Chord Chemistry), George Van Eps (Works 1 and Works 2 - 7-string jazz guitar) and Berklee came out with some great guitar at keyboard books (I had the Keyboard series and the guitar series by Willian Levitt). Also remember the David Baker books and the play-along books by James A (forgot the last name) When I moved, I tried to carry all my stuff with me, but I am not sure where all that material is now! Most are out of print and hard to get (Berklee updated the books, and they got some good stuff now with video and everything). I am trying to track down their location. I think I stored them somewhere!

one thing peeps have never given EWF credit for is their use of "jazz" chords.. "nuff said!!

[@gusmartins1660]

It’s obvious their level of musicianship would include these voicings. So can’t say I agree with you.

[@jadeheart57]

oops, u can tell i'm not a real musician - the riff is NOT walking down the root/C# note, it's walking down the major 7th note. is that right? anyhow...

may i have the guitar for"pathway to glory"

[@cordovaband5389]

You called out one of the chords incorrectly. You called out a G#9... playing the D, G, B & E strings , but your voicing is actually a G#7#9 chord.

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

This should be a two for one because it's also the chords to "It Aint Over Till It's Over" by Lenny Kravit's". Lenny clearly lifted the chords, bass line and vibe from Earth Wind & Fire. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip6of4CQe7qIlZI
