      I know, right? I bet I've come back to this video 50 times just for the 1 minute intro. It's his TONE and the simplicity of what he's playing. It's not anything complex, but he's playing it with a style and finesse that I could never achieve. I stand in awe, and it sure makes this Les Paul devotee wish for a Tele.

      ​@TheMaxKids Part of his secret is an effects unit he uses. I f you search his videos, he showcases it in one of them. Of course, with all due respect to the unit, a lot of the trick is in his fingers, lol. I love Joey's playing style, also love Canned Heat.

    My first thought as a beginner guitarist knocking on intermediate is "how the heck am I supposed to remember all the new chord shapes???" and then you show off the secret cheat code and I feel like the beginner that I am.

    I have a Squier Classic Vibe Tele which I keep in open G (with a low D) mainly for Keith Richards moments and for slide playing. However, I hadn't thought about using it for playing other Blues tunes so this was really helpful. I also have a Danelectro 56-U2 which I keep in open D for slide playing. Definitely need to experiment more.

  • @allenmcdaniel1470
    @allenmcdaniel1470 ปีที่แล้ว

    I LIKE the way he lets you TUNE YOUR AX to HIS, instead of just long explanations (which have their place) but just go 'here's how I do it' or 'here's how Keefy does it', etc. COOL!

  • @jacko717

    Getting old I've eventually found out how useful exact reading can be. It simply is an 'Introduction'. Pretty and appealing, though. The great thing about Open G in my ears is, it is super easy. And even playing a small slide solo in between just takes a few hours of practice. Do it fingerstyle on an Accoustic and it hums 'Mississippi' immediately. Thankyou 😊

  • @JohnnyD683
    @JohnnyD683 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Fantastic Joey. More open G would be great. I play 5 string in open G and i have never missed the low E string. You nailed the precision of playing in this style.

    • @johnbradford6845
      @johnbradford6845 ปีที่แล้ว

      Why not tune that low E string up to G so it doubles the low G? Makes for a nice droning sound.

    Dude, that opening is just so killer! The triads around 3:50 are sweet too. I could go on - great lesson. I like open G for blues/country rock like everyone else, but I like some mystic dreamy stuff too. If you don't mind me mentioning, Rosetta West - Deeper Than Magic (Labyrinth version) is a good example.

Wish you showed the chords better. Like I said at first, this is to make you want to get better. Thanks !
