Hey Aaron, just a little heads up for you and others who reads my comment: Elvis asked Jerry Reed to teach his guys to play the way he did (Jerry) and J.R. said to Elvis;; There's not way I can do that son because They are all straight pickers,, ,, I play with my fingers,,, ALL of them Elvis !! Elvis said;; Well hell man you play it on my recording then. J.R. ,, Well hell man show me the bank,, in other words ,, Where's the cash and i'm not talking about Johnny,,, J.R. straight picking is ok son,, but you can't tell the whole story doing it that way, you've got to use your fingers. Just a little story from an OLD MAN that was there, and I do mean really old. from Mr Briggs51,, I wish that was my age. haha
This tutorial is soooo frustrating! It's obvious you know what your doing but your hard to follow. Your string reference changes "0, 4, nothing, 3".... at first "0" is the low E and then you're talking about the high E. I can't see what your fingers are doing... argh.... i wish marty covered this!
Its close. You missed a few. Look at dean parks version-who played it on the record on his you tube. You missed the g and f# on way back down. Etc. very nice work , teaching and feel. Your way is nice as well
i really wish i could play the guitar. i tried before, but my fingers hurts so much so i stopped. i like this song so much, i didn't know it is this complicated. :-) great tutorial and i like your accent. :-)
Great job and i like how your right hand hits the right notes in a sort of strum instead of muting. Did that come fairly natural? Seems like it would be tough to learn. Big paws always good for playing those 4 fret stretches too!!! Real good job!!
..hey...thank you so-much, brother..it does have some-complexity...parta' its beauty, I guess-- but you have skills & smoothness-- and I appreciate you explaining & sharing with all of us..for breaking-it-down, in-parts, then "rollin' back-through-it", so we can hear & feel-the-flow...very nice...thank-you, Aaron !
. the best lesson are the ones you learn from world class guitarist. The Tommy Emmanuels' Jimmy Herrings and Jacos of the world....I like this guys lesson, direct and to the point, great tutorial, kudos to Aaron ,,,, but this dude up here riding Marty Shwartz jock...get real man.
This song is not by Eric Clapton as the title of this upload suggests.. it was written by three men.. none of which are Eric Clapton... played on the record by yet some other men.. again not Eric Clapton.. then Eric overdubbed a solo on it and sang the written melody. Its a fine song though.
One of my favorites from Master Eric. Young man, you have a talent and a gift for teaching. This is probably the best teaching video I've seen yet. Your taste in instruments is also top notch! I play a Tak just like the one used in your video. Beautiful sound. Thank you...!
Perhaps this will shed some light on how "Master Eric" got this song completed and recorded. Search TH-cam for this title: Eric Clapton | Change The World | Dean Parks | Tim Pierce | Performance | Talk
@@caseyspaos448 Nope. The A7 chord played in this song has a C# which is the 3rd note from root A. Ryan 1995 could be right or wrong depending on how you interpret "middle note".. I assume he means taking the octave A on the G string down to a G note which is the 7th note now making the chord an A7 from A major.
your version sounds right - it's not the way i learned it or the way eric plays it when you watch him...but yours sure sounds right..?? good job explaining also btw!! thanks
If you do a bar chord G# You lift the pinky finger to go from 466566 to 464566. That would make a G# major 7th chord (G#7). Seventh chords are very easy to learn and you can apply them in a lot of songs. Go check out some lessons about major and minor 7th chords! :)
Can't believe I've just found your video dude and it's 13yrs old already! Great lesson and I hope you're still gigging - thanks heaps, now I can play the song properly!! 👍👍
Hey Aaron, thanks for the great tutorial on "Change the World"! I love that song, & u saved me a bunch of time, showing how it's played in such an EZ to follow lesson!! Btw, I teach too. Mostly children, & mostly really easy songs, but some classical guitar as well. I'll be back for more of ur lessons!
I think if you sign up and send him a request. He does after all answer our requests. Plus, he has so much theory to show us, I don't see why you want to learn and play the song if you don't know what it is, or what chords you're playing. They do different lessons.
You've left out Eric's INTRO, and the chords are not the same. (Listen to the bass note). They are: | E / F#m7 / | G6 / / / | then back, played twice and ending on a Bsus4, before the verse begins, holding down only 5th, 4th and 3rd strings, withe rest open (don't play 6th string). Also, it sounds like you said B#m7b5, probably bad replay. It is, of course, a D#m7b5, which is also known as a half diminished 7 (D#ø7) - exactly the same notes as D#m7b5. D#dim is the leading note chord in E, i.e. built in 3rds on the 7th note of the scale, using only notes from the E maj scale (D# F# A), in this case with a 7th added (D# F# A C#)....I hope!! Interval structure: D# F# (minor 3rd) F# A (minor 3rd) A C# (major 3rd) The E major scale (E has 4 sharps in key signature): E F# G# A B C# D# (E) I love this stuff!
Aaron, like someone mentioned.. no blah blah..screwing around etc.. just right straight to the point and you are darn GOOD !!!! Excellent explanation. I have your website on my favourites.
I got lost during the chorus >.< What are the tabs for those three chords? I tried looking them up online, but they appear to differ. Haha, this is what happens when a beginner attempts an "Eric Clapton song."
Excellent teaching Aaron! I know it's hard to pack a complete lesson into a 10 minute TH-cam video, but would love to know how you're getting that rhythm pattern with your right hand. Cheers.
Great Job, besides watching Eric himself and trying to get it, you helped me get this in one sit down. You're better than the rest on you tube on this song for sure. Thanks for sharing.
With a second accoustic playing, as you walk up the neck have the 2nd guitar play a more of a bass line with a power A (second fret bar) using your 3rd finger to hit the D string 3rd and 4th frets and on the E chord use the base root chord with a pinky hitting the A string 3rd and 4th frets, a basic rock and roll thing but chopping the rythym out with down and up strokes and some of your right wrist dulling the strings out on those chops. I play this along with the CD and the mix imho is good together :).
Man, you're gooooooood.... great job playing and explainin... I have absolutely no idea how to play a guitar but you kinda made me wanna learn... cheers on that! xo from Argentina
this is hands down the best "change the world" instructional on youtube! thanks so much for sharing, great playing.

I've wanted to know these chords for a while now. I never could find someone who knew them, let alone play them. You're great, man! Thanks a million!
Great lesson!! Thank you so much!! And you don't talk too much!! It's perfect!
Superb, but you were the last guy at looked at because ot the hat, ha ha
That was so easy to understand, never thought I'd learn that quick!! THANKS, you're amazing!!
I have ties older than you...u r a good teach. Thank you...I'm going to try to get this down. And I dig your helmet.
could guitar teachers stop saying wassup. After five videos it gets annoying. thanks
Its close. You missed a few. Look at dean parks version-who played it on the record on his you tube. You missed the g and f# on way back down. Etc. very nice work , teaching and feel. Your way is nice as well
Dean Parks! Session wizard!
Awesome lesson, Aaron! Amazingly thorough for a 10 minute video. Thanks so much for doing it.
Now this is the way to teach a difficult song...great job!
Absolutely brilliant, the whole way of playing the song unfolded. My way was musically passable, but not as genuine as yours is.
i really wish i could play the guitar. i tried before, but my fingers hurts so much so i stopped. i like this song so much, i didn't know it is this complicated. :-) great tutorial and i like your accent. :-)
Young Seth Green thank you SO much for this!
Actually, it was written by Gordon Kennedy, Tommy Sims and Wayne Kirkpatrick...just FYI...
Great job and i like how your right hand hits the right notes in a sort of strum instead of muting. Did that come fairly natural? Seems like it would be tough to learn. Big paws always good for playing those 4 fret stretches too!!! Real good job!!

Just wanted to say thanx for making this tutorial. Because of it, you, I can play a tune I really enjoy, you made it enjoyable.
JD from toledo
thanks man for detailed shoving i learned whole after 10-15 minuts, now just need to practice to get able to play and sing :)
@seanNnoa well no offence to this guy, he's great too, but the best lessons in thew world are made by Marty Shwartz !!!!!!!!
great job mate . but i think you could have done the second part a little slower for a dum ass like me lol good vid
trying to learn how to play the strumming version of hte chorus but cant tell witch strings to play. can u help me?
This song is not by Eric Clapton as the title of this upload suggests.. it was written by three men.. none of which are Eric Clapton... played on the record by yet some other men.. again not Eric Clapton.. then Eric overdubbed a solo on it and sang the written melody. Its a fine song though.

Awesome lesson ! You dont over complicate it like tool bag talking teachers do
Wow the only correct version up I cant believe the incorrect garbage people post on here
Kid can play AND teach! Very nicely done!
good explaination of how to play guitar and finger pick this classic eric clapton song.
Hi Aaron, what's up with this Doo Rag On your head? Too Rags are so over.
"Baby if I could...' it's an A (you played F#m)
To be more especific the G#7 and the F#7, I dont understand how I need to do them.
After watching others this is my favorite thanks!
Thanks Buddy, your video is the best. Now I can play that song thnks for you
Superb, gonna try that tonight,, thanks Aaron.
an A major with out the middle note is an A7
Nope. A7 has the 7th degree. This is an A without the 3rd.
@@caseyspaos448 Nope. The A7 chord played in this song has a C# which is the 3rd note from root A.
Ryan 1995 could be right or wrong depending on how you interpret "middle note".. I assume he means taking the octave A on the G string down to a G note which is the 7th note now making the chord an A7 from A major.
I don´t understand two chords of the song, they are 7 chords.
Thank you!
got the nuances there, thanks for sharing
Where can I see Marty Shwartz do "Change the World"?
your version sounds right - it's not the way i learned it or the way eric plays it when you watch him...but yours sure sounds right..?? good job explaining also btw!! thanks
this is an amazing tutorial...thank you so much!
Rally great man…thank you.
Jeez. Youngster can play!
Great lesson. Thank you!
Thanks...... what's with the do rag......
you need to chaaaaaange your strings
If you do a bar chord G#
You lift the pinky finger to go from 466566 to 464566. That would make a G# major 7th chord (G#7). Seventh chords are very easy to learn and you can apply them in a lot of songs. Go check out some lessons about major and minor 7th chords! :)
thanks bj novak
Can't believe I've just found your video dude and it's 13yrs old already! Great lesson and I hope you're still gigging - thanks heaps, now I can play the song properly!! 👍👍
Thanks for doing this. The Great session guitarist Dean Parks played this part on Eric’s recording.
damn what a tricky song!! those jazz chords can throw even some of the best for a loop!
Great video!!! Helped so much with playing this song.
muchas gracias !!! con tu ayuda lo lograre
use to many numbers but its still helpful

So the chords are broken E7 F#m/E G/E then the 2nd set are A7 Bm7/A C7/A
Thanks🤔🤔🤔
I am now just learning to play guitar. I want to learn with this guy. I enjoyed this video very much.

Amazing how quickly you can teach a fairly complicated song with a simple no nonsense style. Well done mate!

Excellent tutorial- you really explain it in good detail and hit things that a lot of folks need to see broken down. Thanks.
Jeez what a difficult set of chords to learn. I’m not used to these chords
great lesson...I looked at some tabs that I had for this and got a headache....but you made it a million times easier.
Great Job, besides watching Eric himself and trying to get it, you helped me get this in one sit down. You're better than the rest on you tube on this song for sure. Thanks for sharing.

People ask me if I give lessons. After watching you, forget it!.. I'll just lead them astray, I'm sending them to you! Great job, thanks.
Awesome Job Bud. Learned some new chords today!!!
Man, you're gooooooood.... great job playing and explainin... I have absolutely no idea how to play a guitar but you kinda made me wanna learn... cheers on that! xo from Argentina
excellent job young man! Thx a
Awesome! Thnx for posting. Got a little confused with the picking part... But I got it down. Great tutorial again!
Marty is great for beginners and blues, but Aaron is better for the more intermediate/advanced player.
This is a really great video!! I'm a beginner and have always wanted to play this song and now I'm half way there! Thank you so much :-)

Excellent Lesson!
Really, I just seen hi, and I dont' think so.
How much is he payin' you?
Sad, go post your own videos!

great, very helpful, thank you
Cool lesson but It would have been nice if you played it once through.
Very nicely done...and conveyed brilliantly.
I'd there a rest of the video it would be nice to hear it played all together once through
Great job. Thanks for putting in the time
great lesson
thanks
Thanks - thats it !
Thank you!
Gotta say thanks also for a very clearly explained lesson, dude.

You look like Seth Green.
