    Justin I'm sure you've heard it all, but as a high school teacher for 20 years now, I have to say that you are a great teacher. You seem to be a down to earth nice guy. Nothing has helped me more with my guitar. Thank's a million and best of luck to you from Montreal.

    My 9 yr. old is working on this song for an upcoming performance, and this really helped. The F chord joke went right over her head, no worries there. Thanks so much for the fantastic lesson. ;)

    Thank you! I'm working on (of all the crazy things) a crochet parody for an upcoming broadcast and wanted a short cut to learning the riff on this song. You're an excellent teacher! Wishing you all the best!

    The fifth member of the Monkees :-). Thanks for a fun lesson. I grew up with the Monkees as a kid during the 60's, I liked their TV show and I loved playing guitar, I played mostly surf music from groups like The Ventures and The Shadows. You can tell I am old.

    I don't know how you can sing the lyrics/chord names with a straight face... But I'm glad you do. You have a true teachers heart... And a true servants heart. So you have two hearts, and you should probably get that looked at by a doctor. But thank you for all you do.

    Hi Justin -nice tutorial - very easy for people to follow and learn. In the chorus it can be a little more interesting if the first G chord becomes a G7 (traditional way with the F on top) and on the second G chord the D note is added on the B string (mute the high E string). This sort of follows the organ riff.

    Going from the riff back into the song is a lot easier in ND's original key of E (or put a capo on the third fret).

    After the riff play the first G chord barred at 3rd fret, then D, then go to open string G. May make the transition a little easier.

    I love just Justin: "A little tip there for the pro's.. Its called: Cheating.. " xD hahaha
    Selftaught musician here, and yyyup been doing that for years, this 'trick' was a simple side effect of playing outside in the cold where ones fingers simply cant move as quick due to the cold.

  • @robbi1b1
    @robbi1b1 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    hi justin, cheers for your version, seems every 'copy' of this song i come across uses different chords (i don't mean different keys), for instance, where you use d7, 1 version i've seen uses dm7, another version uses an am7 in the chorus, and so on. none of them sound quite right, but yours does !

      @DrHouse1238 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rob Bower hmm,I would disagree ,well obviously not with justin being correct ,he just lowers accuracy for the playability,all of his lessons are made for beginners and if some part is too hard he just changes it up a bit to make it easier for his audience.but again ,nothing but praises for justin.

    you should do fade. nobody had figured them out yet, there aren't even tabs on the internet. you could get all kinds of views. i've been trying to learn "Kings of Dawn" but i get lost at the chorus. (I'm also trying to do an acoustic version, so that might be a bit of a problem lol)
