I really like this set up for teaching a new song, having the overlay of the tab and chord charts is nice and the pacing is great, too. The only thing I'd be careful about is when you get to the B7 (m. 7 of the verse) you have C7 in the third beat. It would be more accurate to call the chord you're playing B7sus, as C7 would certainly sound strange with this song! EDIT: OK, It sounds like you do actually play C7 in the chorus, but you don't do that in the verse. Pardon me for commenting before finishing the video! Regardless, excellent presentation! Thank you.
Thanks AmericanComposer, fair comment I don't cover the rhythm part - what I actually play is B7 (x21202) followed by C7 (x32303), surprisingly it does work as a passing chord. Appreciated the feedback - cheers N&J.
@@AnAmericanComposer Glad you liked the guitar, I really don't put any effort into the sound recording of the instrument for the lessons, just so long as the voice and guitar are the same volume I'm happy. Needless to say when recording this guitar carefully it really does sound fabulous. It's a custom made instrument by Roger Bucknell of Fylde Guitars www.fyldeguitars.com/ it is based on an Eric Bibb signature guitar but with my own selection of woods and custom features. I have another Fylde, it's a classical guitar which used to belong to Gordon Giltrap, you can hear it on th-cam.com/video/gQ97CsORxZo/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for asking N& J
Sure, the easiest way to transpose the song to G is use a capo on the 3rd fret, so starting the intro up on 12th fret instead of fret 9. Keep on pluckin' N&J🎸
Thanks for the heads up on the key of Beach Boys version. It's a traditional song from the Bahamas which has been recorded by many people, the lesson is in the key we perform it in. Cheers N&J

Also, what kind of guitar is that? It sounds incredible.

Excellent Sounds great What is the original key by the Beach boys?
Hi Ian, thanks for your comment - I've just listened to the Beach Boys original - they do it in G#, so Capo 4 with our version. Cheers N&J 🎸
can that intro be played in the key of G ?
Sure, the easiest way to transpose the song to G is use a capo on the 3rd fret, so starting the intro up on 12th fret instead of fret 9. Keep on pluckin' N&J🎸
@@NickandJane got it, thanks!
Its supposed to be in G not A. Beach boy version anyway.

Perhaps we could have told us the key, you play the song in Fmaj
Hi Ira, thanks for the feedback; I think you'll find it is Emaj. Keep on pluckin' N&J🎸
