The Weight Intro And C Chord Variations And Fills

I often hear from students how they want to learn to embellish chords, so that's what we'll talk about in this video...
I was inspired by "The Weight," by The Band, and the little intro that is played at the top of it.
I originally played it in an 'E' shape, but later saw Robbie Robertson play it in a 'C' shape and thought that might make a cool lesson.
So grab your guitar, I hope you enjoy it.

I love lessons like this. Messing with chords/triads and pentatonic shapes are some of my most valuable and memorable fret board discoveries.

Superb. Clear. Expansive. Mind blown

[@loftyheyts2231]

Came here looking for the intro of "the Weight" but got so much more. Great lesson

[@yangchenyun]

Great lessons to connect pentatonic scale and chord embellishment.

[@lukeb528]

Thanks so much! You finally helped me understand the caged system!

[@damien6685]

That was 15 minutes well spent! How I hadn't seen the chord/pentatonic tie-up for infills before is beyond me

[@DMR_SR.]

Thank you for the lesson. You explained it in a way I could understand. Please keep up the good work and I am now a new subscriber 😊

[@imannonymous7707]

i dig ur insight....its not verbatim and yet its dead on accurate and i got to keep going over the box lessons you posted.....they rock!

[@cdusty308]

Very eye opening. Thank you

[@buddhamus]

Thank you very much for this lesson. I love lessons like this. I really liked how you explained it using the CAGED system and the pentatonic scale. I hope you'll do more like this.

[@bruceall2001]

Great explanation with theory. Thanks!

[@brucewernick6542]

Wow,this was great fun. I knew about the relationships between the pentatonic shapes and the CAGED chords but I never quite had it under my fingers. Now, as I noodle along while following you, I can feel it coming together. Maybe, I'm just ready for it. It's definitely in my learning program for a while. Thanks for the great lesson.

Thanks Griff. I really enjoyed this lesson. You’ve given me lots of ideas to play around with and right now I’ve got time to work getting these ideas under my fingers

[@stevelankford7343]

Awesome lesson 👍

[@meb2126]

Thank you! 🙂 I'm a beginner, so it will take time to learn this song ... but some day, I will play it.

[@meb2126]

@@keithclark486 No, I have been working and after that been to tired to try. But ... some day! Right now I listen to others playing instead: that's more beautiful to the ears. ;)

[@jimmyjams1974]

Great video!

[@triskalrecords2863]

thanks much

[@1taylorgibson]

You could also call this the Keith Richards lesson. It is the secret to his early sound.

[@robinfawcett7973]

Great - I feel inspired! The Beatles have something similar in Don't Let Me Down...

[@imannonymous7707]

yea

[@imannonymous7707]

[@5barkerstreet]

[@forester057]

Spent way too long trying to read that awesome shirt!

[@steveg.3022]

Is it a play on a Stones song, but “Beast of Bourbon?”

[@dongeraldo7823]

Yeah it's really everywhere🤣👍

[@Al-nt8tn]

Hendrixy!

[@brianwood7237]

This is cool, however I thought we all knew these voicings, until I realized I'm old, so of course I know this stuff. My son, probably not🤔

[@keithburnett-i7f]

Ahh ...key of ‘C’ ...no sharps or flats to figure out! Easy!!🤫

[@georgemercer3013]

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE'S DOING THIS BECAUSE ALL GUITARS ARE ON SHUTDOWN..... MUST BE 6 FOOT AWAY...FROM PICKER...
