@@GeorgeAnthonyCondover yep A minor is the relative minor to the C major chord. Which means they share all the notes of their scales. A minor is the 6 chord in the key of C major. Usages. Try putting it together with Cmaj, Fmaj, and Gmaj to find some familiar chord sequences.

Sure does 😊

Sorry you can't understand a northern British accent, but I hope you got what you needed from the video anyway. You can get the entire vocal melody mostly around the B and E strings in the chord changes. Play with a capo on the 7th fret to be in the same key as the original.

@fret-less nothing too be sorry about! It's me, I unironically thought you were speaking a European language i didn't know

Hi thanks for commenting. To be honest I tend to use my fingers more often than a pick I find picks tend to rotate in my grip or like you I drop them. The down side of course is that I wear down the finger nails on my right hand and get blisters so I switch back to the pick for a while. 😄. I also support it with my second finger. I wouldn’t worry too much about technique. The only technique that really matters is the one that works for you. Without hearing or seeing you play it’s not possible to pinpoint where your problem is but I can tell you a lot of new players tend to grip the pick too tightly and try pushing the pick through the strings rather than stoking them with it. Have you tried different thicknesses of picks? A lighter more flexible pick can be useful to get the feel as they’re more forgiving. Difficult to explain so I might put a video together on it. Someone else was asking about strumming tips recently.

@fret-less Thanks. That's good to know that it's just not me that uses a 3 finger grip. I try various thicknesses. I should probably stick to one for continuity. Just sometimes when I play it back if I've plated a tune it just lacks a bit of finesse. Kinda sounds a bit clunky. I'll keep plugging away. Cheers

and to you! looking forward to lots more of your drumming :D

@ thank you my friend 😊me too 😁I’ve been busy. Hope you’re doing well

Looks wise it’s pretty much a standard les Paul with the exception of having P90 pickups. Nothing particularly fancy just a nice epiphone with a fairly chunky neck.

@@Re9sTwitch really powerful stuff. I’m told it’s a baroque style. (I know very little about classical music). He plays more of it in the intros to the tales of jenny and screech which I highly recommend if you haven’t heard them yet. I’ll be sure and have a listen to the pieces and players you mentioned too. I’m always up for listening to something I’ve never heard before. Thank you.

It’s a cool one for sure 😊

@@ДмитрийД-и9о thanks for commenting. So glad you liked it. My regards to Russia from Ross-Shire. 😀

@@jamesgibson3242 cheers glad you liked it. Let me know if there’s any other songs you’d like to see a lesson for. 👍

Tha technique for the slaps differs depending on if you are using a pick or your fingers. If using a pick then the slap is done with the side of your hand on the down stroke. If using your fingers it’s done with the thumb as a small tap against the bass strings. If you think of a bar split into 16th beats. Generally we strum down strokes on the quarter and 8th notes and play upstrokes on the 16ths. The slap would replace a down stroke. Hope that helps. Not sure I’ve explained that too well.

@fret-less I understood your explanation fine. It's going to take some practice on coordination for me and sore fingers lol. Thanks for the response and advice x

No worries at all. Keep practicing, it’ll get easier the more you do it. You’ll find the groove and drop into it. 👍

@@E.F.Rietzschel hi, I tend to play with my fingers more than a pick so I haven’t actually tried it. I’ll try playing it with a pick and get back to you in a day or two 👍

OK so I just watched it back and played through it again (long time since I played it). I noticed I hit that open A string a few times during the breakdown but figured out that if I extend my first finger which is barring the high E, B, G and D strings, I can mute the A string with the tip of that finger and still fret the other notes and the hammer on much cleaner. I keep the strums fairly gentle and focused on the higher strings especially on the up strokes. Incidentally, I have since figured out that he plays another voicing of the E chord during the verse. It is muted low E, muted A, 2nd fret on the D (E), 1st fret on the G(G#), open B and 4th fret on the High E (G#). Hope that helps and gives you something new and fun to try.

@ Great, thanks! I’ll play around with that. About muting the A string with the ‘barring’ finger: that will be a challenge, as I am used to avoiding exactly that when playing a partial bar chord. ;-) I’m going to give it a try!

@@E.F.Rietzschel you’re very welcome. Sometimes I think it can be harder keeping unwanted notes quiet than it is to play the notes you do want haha. Glad it helped good luck with it. It’s a great tune and worth the effort.

It’s been a tough year I won’t lie, but we’re getting through it and doing ok my friend thank you for asking. I hope all is well with you.

@ I’m hangin’ my friend. I’m glad you’re doing okay. I’m here for you. Have a great day my friend. 🤗🙏✨💖

Look again sir I’m playing C#,G#,A and E I believe it’s a first inversion as the 4rd (C#) is in the bass.

@@DennisPate-t1s 👍

@@jonwagner811 completely agree. Fantastic songwriters beautiful melodies. What more do we need? I must do another of theirs soon.

Thanks for the explanation. 👍

Oh it really does. Great spot that might be a fun tune to learn.

Cheers buddy

Glad you liked it! It’s a good fun one to play.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it was helpful. was fun to do :)

You’re very welcome
