The Way Ep. 3: La Luz’s Shana Cleveland Teaches “Sure as Spring”

[@mikeschneider2251]

This is the cutest guitar video ever. Almost clicking your heels like Dorothy. The eyeroll. Sugar filled guitar.

[@arturoc.martinez]

Learned how to play this in high school and still come back just cause Shana is so cool

[@paolobianconi495]

Shana is very talented together with Sade Sanchez. By the way La Luz and LA Witch are my favourite bands

[@slavepit1819]

It seems like the most talented musicians are quite often don’t even know what a guitar is but they pick it up and somehow magic happens

[@mcdaniels6188]

Shana has earned her place in rock aristocracy.

[@jlayton2335]

I'm a big fan of La Luz. Love all the songs and their artsy fartsy groove. Truly the Queens of Surf Noir.

4:49 HEY!

[@phira360]

i love this... i learned a lot

[@VladimirRadiomay]

Спасибо девушке за видео. Творческих и других успехов! )

[@johnkough]

Nice tune. I'd call the chords C sharp minor, F sharp, and E. They look like the other chords Shana mentions because of the capo. I guess it depends on if you name chords based on what your hands are doing and how far they are from lowest fret (which in this case is two steps up form its normal location), or if you name them based on what they sound like.

[@user-xu4ow3bu6f]

Yeah I was asking about this. Why do you think she plays with Capo to and then still makes a bar chord shape for the B minor. Why not just play the 3 cords that you list without the Capo?

[@johnkough]

@@user-xu4ow3bu6f she plays the other two chords as open chords. Open chords sound different and ring out more than bar chords, which she would have to do without the capo. It's a subtly cooler sound and it's easier on the hands.

[@user-xu4ow3bu6f]

​​@johnkough you know I'm a really crappy player but I played it both ways playing C sharp minor without the Capo and then I played the B-minor the way that she fingers it with Capo on 2 , and the whole sequence is just a more surfy sound , so thank you so much for pointing that out. I'm playing on a Taylor acoustic, and even for an abysmal amateur like me, the chords have a surf sound on Capo 2. What a majestically beautiful song about Lost Love And Regret.

[@CMCustom112]

5:41 Sounds like a pretty SWEET guitar.... You can keep that one. Go ahead, the first ones free.

[@mattc.8887]

Awesome! Anyone can tell me which strings to hit on the solo?

[@setphaser]

she must be so used to playing the lead standing up that when playing it sitting down it’s not the same!

[@edejong]

4:56. After that she has a cup of coffee and continues at 5:04.

[@user-xu4ow3bu6f]

So without the Capo it would be C sharp minor & F sharp minor and then E major? I wonder why she plays with the Capo instead of just playing those cords and please correct me if my transportation is correct because I'm not a musician and I'm just trying to figure out how you play it without a capo

[@mattgehringer7292]

What is the make and model of the guitar Shana is playing?

[@Updog89]

It’s a Fender Stratocaster, not sure which specific edition.
