:13 seconds in and I’ve stopped to like, subscribe, and comment. Simply your voice and energy are an immediate “Yes!” That this channel is called Anyone Can Play Guitar, that I AM an anyone and am learning to play guitar seems quite appropriate for me. (Actually, have played acoustic guitar for decades, just now, at 57, having care-given both folks to dignified final exits, I am finally exploring all this electric gear I have collected but been too intimidated, time consumed, or just plain lazy to try.
Thank you for the information and encouragement!
That tone is HEAVENLY.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Really. There is just no pleasing some people. I have been playing 40 years and spend a lot of time on TH-cam learning tunes for two bands I play in, and there are a handful of teachers who always get it right and can communicate concisely and clearly. Andrian is one of those teachers. He is an amazing resource and an extremely gifted musician and teacher. Thanks Andrian!!! 😎👊🏻
I totally agree, but I think if you posted a video giving information leading to world peace and the end of all human suffering some asshole would still give it a thumbs down.
Thumbs down are probably because the Chinese cats in the back are waving out of sync with the tune.
Evert Albers Japanese cats. Manikineko is its name. Chinese restaurants just use them a lot.
Absolutely... wish I’d had a teacher like this when I started out.
Maybe it was an accident.
For anyone wanting to learn about harmony, chord voicing, tasteful playing, jazz, blues, R&B, soul, Hendrix, SRV etc.. There’s real gold in this lesson. Thank you Adrian.
that doll was looking straight into my soul
haha
Shit, I didn’t notice till I saw your comment......freaky af.
Lol.
now I cannot unsee it!
LMAO
there is the concept of finding the right teacher at the right time. For me , Adrian is such a person and I know enough about learning the guitar to make the judgment. All of which to say that the guitar journey never ends and teachers Like Adrian have a real and appreciative audience out here and I shout out a very special thanks to him for posting
Man...soulful would be an understatement.
Excellent how he relates the notes to the chords, that is how you understand what you are playing.
Not just showing notes randomly like some teachers.
00:28 I love how the black cat at the back is almost perfectly waving on the beat XD
IT comes down to this! You can be the best technical play in the world...Theres many UNKNOWN players that know every chord, every scale, every note, every song, and technically play them perfect....But to come up with a part like this, you have to have something else, you have to be born with it, its the god given ability, to listen to a melody and create something a top of it, that convey human emotion, that stands the test of time... and Cornell dupree certainly had it, so did Hendrix, so does Clapton, Beck, Page, SRV, And last but maybe top 5 Curtis Mayfield....All innovators, to make up or bring a style of music and make it immortal or timeless....Someone in 300 yrs will listen to this, and get that feeling in there stomachs, and again convey an emotion...Cornell may make you think of somebody you lost, or love, Clapton may bring out your rebellious side, Page, may make you wanna break things, and the list goes on and one..At the end of the day, few guitar players have it, and i think were all born with a little bit of it, but just like we have to work hard to get our fingers in shape and learn scales, chords, etc, we have to work just as hard at playing out what we feel inside....No guitar riff, from ones soul can ever be a bad one...People ask why dont you learn how to play this or that song note for note...Bc it does nothing for me, i learn some songs i that move me up to a certain point then, at some point, something inside takes over, and i just start putting some of myself into it....B
Although, ppl are right i should learn more songs note for note its great practice, but its tough for me, something inside starts making me drift, i guess thats the soul....Always awesome to learn from you my man, you have an old soul, we like the same stuff, your a pro!
Just to say, your one of the very best guitar channels on TH-cam, I am loving this lesson, something that I wouldn’t have thought about playing but loving every minute. You have made me a better player. Thank you and all the best.
yes sir! my kind of music, i like his playing
and how he teaches.
Adrian Woodward's got SOUL! Some of it reminds me of Curtis Mayfield's playing.
That's a very well-done rendition of Cornell Dupree's famous guitar work on Brook Benton's "Rainy Night in Georgia." Very impressive; you've obviously paid your dues. The famous record producer at Atlantic Records, the late Jerry Wexler, once said that the only two men who played rhythm and lead guitar combined and made it work - were Steve Cropper and Cornell Dupree. Both soul/R&B legends, and rightly so. A tip for you: If you have not yet heard Dupree's solo LP from 1974 "Teasin'" - do yourself a big favor and get it. You are in for a real treat. The whole LP is instrumental, Dupree backed by the cream of the King Curtis, Aretha Franklin and NYC session scene. David "Fathead"Newman on sax, Richard Tee on keyboards, Bernard Purdy on drums, Chuck Rainey on bass, and Ralph McDonald on percussion, to name a few. Rhythm guitar by the amazing Phil Upchurch, if memory serves. Blues, jazz, and R&B the way it ought to be played. And given a chance to stretch out in comparison to so many of his brief studio session recordings, Dupree himself shines. Brilliant brilliant player.
Thanks for the "Teasin" tip - much appreciated
Tony Joe White wrote the music and lyrics, Dupree is playing what TJW wrote.
@@alm574 - It is much more likely that they composed without anything written. That's how most southern musicians of their kind worked, save maybe the arrangers and horn players. If they used charts, they were probably basic chord changes only. Cornell Dupree was brilliant, every bit as brilliant as TJW. He didn't need anyone to tell him what to play. He was a first-call session man his whole career. Why? Because he knew what to play and when and had tremendous taste. A very influential guitarist, too. TJW - well, what can be said about him? One of a kind.
Maybe you might like to listen to Wah-Wah Watson on Herbie Hancock's `Hang Up Your Hang Ups', and `Spider'.
Don't Leave out my guitar hero Reggie Young!
Very Nice! Cornell has been my favorite R&B guitarist for about 50 years. You did him proud!
Wow, very beautiful playing just as he was listening to the song itself hands-down🎸
There were a lot of great soul licks during the era when this masterful song came out. It was a great single but I can't imagine this song without the magical licks and riffs that carried the song along. In some respects this song reminds me of the Dobie Gray song and the great licks of Drift Away. Both of these songs and the instrumental riffs just can carry me away. I am hard pressed to find that in today's music. I know it may be a generational gap just has my parents had problems with my taste back in the 1970's
I clicked as soon as I saw Cornell Dupree. Have you seen Josh Smith's video on rhythm guitar where he talks about Dupree?
This is why I subscribe to your channel. You get into guitarists ignored by others.
Yes, I've heard Josh Smith mention Dupree before I think. Not surprised he's a fan!
Dupree's lick, voiced by you Adrian at 13:43...whoa. It's just one of those things that makes you wonder why people don't want to always have a guitar in their hands. So simple yet so perfect for that moment. Thank you, as always.
Thanks for this. Rainy Night in Georgia is one of my all time favorite songs, in large part because of the tasty guitar parts.
Thank you so much. I can hear Curtis Mayfield's influence throughout this masterpiece. I know it's Mr Dupree's session but the tonality & phrasings seem to mirror Mr Mayfield's body of work.✌️
Josh Smith talked about Dupree and that led me here. Thanks so much for posting this. I can't believe I haven't heard about him until now. This is a cornucopia of hybrid picking and double stops.
I always love this type of Rhythm playing, Greats singers like Curtis Mayfield and Al Green were also masters of this guitar rhythm which was a big influence on Jimi Hendrix who felt it sounded like piano playing though his guitar on songs like bold as love and little wing. Thanks for the Video!
Thanks so much for doing this. There are a lot of gems in Soul Rhythm "hidden in plain view", in my opinion.
Stating the obvious here, but an excellent teacher and player. Thank you for a tasteful and useful lesson. All the best.
Seems like it’s raining all over the world! Love this song, thank you👍🎸🇨🇦
I agree with the last comment. This dude really broke this down. Excellent in my book.
great playing and teaching together...a rare commodity indeed....i am a fan!!
Love Cornell, and this tune in particular! Can't wait to get on this. Got to see him several times playing with Steve Gadd and Stuff back in the 80's.
Such a coincidence! i just saw the Bill Withers doc STILL BILL on youtube yesterday! Cornell appears toward the end to play even though he was on oxygen and was dying-both were soon dead. THANKS for the hours you spend for us!.... you even started up those cats! (i thank you for right away telling the key!)
I think you are a fantastic instructor, you talk just enough to teach the song and that’s rare 😊 thank you 🙏🏾
And he’s easily understood ❤️🎸✌️😎
Adrian. Your a diamond in the rough. I don’t think Cornell Dupree could do any better than I just heard. What a beautiful song and a great player/teacher to take it home. Thank you so much for all your great songs and lessons. Your timing ,tone and phrasing is unreal. Great work
Jerry D PA USA
Great lesson. Well taught.
Exactly what I want to know taught in an excellent and fully comprehensive way. BRAVO Adrian ! Jules
Beautiful soulful playing. Nuanced. You do a great job of breaking it down. Thank you!
My mother was a huge brooke benton fan. Shows what I know. I didnt that was cornell dupree. hendrix loved him.
I listen ti 5he intro and i hear band on the run. Another homage to cornekl. I love this leeson. I wired it ti death.
Rainy night was one my favorite brooke benton songs. I subliminall6 tried for decades to emulate cornell in so many ballads, but never got it right. Until now. Thank you. You are a great musician, not ti mention guitarist.
This is genius, not just coz it's a great tune but because Adrian makes you aware of the importance of understanding the chords that underpin it. I've been playing long enough to pick up the playing easily enough to impress non players but knowing the foundations allows you to develop your technique and replicate it in other songs. I made sure I mastered the chord changes before the fiddly bits
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Fantastic lesson, Adrian! Beautiful demonstration of the masterful soul guitar of Cornell Dupree. I'll bet even Steve Cropper and Bobby Womack were jealous the first time they heard the guitar on "A Rainy Night in Georgia"!
Adrian you've outdone yourself again. Been studying this every free moment I'm a big fan of Dupree, Cropper, Mayfield. Thanks for the Patreon part 2, I was studying the tabs over the full song over the weekend and your second part was helpful in making sure I was playing it right. Aretha Franklin at the Fillmore recording with Dupree and the King Curtis band is mind boggling. It's hard to find someone with ears like yours, I share your love of guitar that spans from Andy Gill to Cornell Dupree and everything in between. All killer no filler. People if you're not paying for Adrian's Patreon subscription you're really, really missing out.
Thank you for this first-rate lesson covering my favourite Brook Benton song. What wonderfully tasteful guitar fills.
YOU are in the Master Class! Very heartfelt and well done!
Really appreciate it when you show us where the little partial chords come from .
Beautifully done man. Soulful ! 😎
Oh my goodness this is so good, Cornell Dupree was a genius. Nice lesson quality as always.
Reggie Young would be proud of this lesson! Great soulful riffs!
Fantastic lesson! One of my favorite songs. I appreciate the way you emphasize that all of these fills outline the underlying chord. It makes it much easier to understand them and use them in other situations. More soul lessons like this would be welcome!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Seriously thank you. I needed the over view to truely understand. To be able to use what knowledge of music theory I have. Others are just like do this but i couldnt understand why or how it fits into the chord progression etc. I was lost and now i'm found.
telecaster...what a tone, it is awesome.....
Yes thanks Andrian. You keep me motivated
Superb lesson - and a great tribute to the wonderful Cornell Dupree
This is beautiful. Works as a stand-alone instrumental piece in its own right. Thank you!
You are definitely one of my fav player/teachers on TH-cam. Thank you
I could listen to this all day
I have watched almost all your videos and this is by far my favorite. Thank you!
Inspiring, excellent. You're always worth a listen. Thanks Adrian
This is outside of my usual listening and well out of anything I've tried to play, but it's really beautiful. I'll be trying this in the future.
Might seem so simple to some of the commentators, but that is really beautifully played and a lovely tone.
Wow. One of my favorite songs ever. Tone from heaven.
thats a gorgeous guitar. i love a nicely tinted neck and i do think butterscotch teles are the most handsome kind
fabulous - superb explanation. loved that
One of my absolutely all-time awesome best songs there is especially Cornell Dupree beautiful timing beautiful licks
Bad to the bones !! Take it to the crib !!
Adrian, this is an excellent lesson. Your guitar sounds perfect. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I’m always glad to see a soul guitar lesson on this channel. Such helpful general information and theory.
Absolutely amazing sound
Awesome lesson man. Thanks for doing that. I'd love to hear more in this style. Such a chill sound. Cheers!
Very Appreciative !
" PEACE & BLESSINGS "
This lesson (for one of my favorite songs ever) is done beautifully and is very tasteful and easy to follow, I'm subscribed cant wait to check out your other lessons.Thank You !!
Just great, Adrian. Thanks.
Guitar playing at its best. I love this.
Fantastic lesson and very soulful playing!! Thank you!
Always excellent instruction! Thanks for the lesson!
Outstanding! One of your best!
Awesome lesson. Thanks for breaking this down. I know this guitar part from the recording but being of limited guitar playing skills I could never have decoded it. You lay it out so well I actually can work on playing it. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your lessons.
Thank You Good Sir! Brilliant Breakdown of Cornel Dupree’s guitar style....🎸🔊🎶
Wow, fantastic lesson that was seriously great and your playing and tone are awesome!!!
An excellent break down, thank you! My 52 re issue is enjoying this one :) Cheers!
Thank you!!! As a teacher for guitar you are one of the best! If all the people I watch...you explain it best for me and I appreciate it
Excellent lesson. Just started watching your channel a few weeks ago and I've already learned so much. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the great work.
Real nice Adrian, some quality moves😎🎙🎸✅
Great song beautifully played and taught. Happy to find this. Thanks so much.
Thank you for that! I usually watch all of your videos, but some grab me more than others, and this is one of those. Very very nicely done. I’m looking forward to playing this another 20 times and getting it down. Cheers 🤘
What a wonderful lesson Adrian. And fantastic tone. Clearly the best R N I G tutorial on the net.
Beautiful my friend, just beautiful. Thank you.
Wow this lesson absolutely made my day! Love this style of of R&B/Soul playing, and how you taught it was exceptional! Especially showing and explaining the connection between the embellishments, chords and scales which many instructors fail to do not realizing how important all is. This lesson alone was a serious "ah ha" moment for me leaving me with a much better understanding on how it all works and how it all comes together along with learning a beautiful song as well as Cornell Dupree's style of playing!! Doesn't get any better then that! Now I can also actually try applying some of those embellishments concepts elsewhere as well! This is definitely how instructors should teach if they want their students to learn! Great job and thanks for video lesson! Do know how much it's appreciated!
great soul thank you Adrian....
This style of playing is quickly becoming a favorite with me, your an amazing teacher. Thank you.
Yo, I just found his channel... you got anything off top of your head that’s like this he’s done?
Cheers
This is a fantastic analysis of this RnB masterpiece.
Excellent lesson! Thank You!
Great lesson, awesome song. One of my favorites, thanks for posting.
Lovely work, Adrian. Thank you so much. I love this kind of playing. Very much about playing for the song.
really good teaching and tune choice Thanks
You're spoiling us!! Friggin' incredible tone and playing. I also just realized how a slowly strummed major7 chord actually sounds a lot like raindrops slowly running down a window.
Excellent lesson! Thank you for sharing. Stay safe man, the world needs music!
Beautiful
I can hear Conway singing! AHHH AWSOME lesson! Thanks 👍👏👏
In love with this song
Love your playing and teaching!
Superb. Great lesson - really well structured - and of cpurse that gorgeous playing. So poised and expressive. Thanks very much!
Wow great feels with those notes, wonderful lesson thank you
