Je te répond un peu plus tard que la normale, j'avais l'intention de te répondre lorsque j'avais tenté de télécharger *Green Flower Street* il y a un mois et demi, mais TH-cam et/ou WMG (copyright owners) me l'a bloqué mondialement sans possibilité de le partager dans ma chaîne.♪
---------------------------------------
Alors depuis ce tragique incident d'il y a six semaines (pour moi car beaucoup de travail/50 heures min,) j'ai recréé la backing trame sonore de mon cru, en y investissant un autre 20 heures pour mixer et enregistrer la musique (les guitares + drum track) sans les paroles (ça c'est moins grave, mais la musique par contre..!) ♪
---------------------------------------
J'ai techniquement commencé les travaux, la fondation de ce tutoriel *Green Flower Street* il y a un an en octobre 2021. Ensuite j'ai tranquillement repris le travail de compléter la leçon lorsque Gilles était toujours parmi nous, je l'ai terminé (la version avec la musique originale qui fut bloquée) Gilles n'était plus parmi nous et entre ce temps tu as effectué un fantastique voyage de quasi 4000 KM de moto (wow ) ♪

Y'a trois choses que j'aimerais souligner en ce qui concerne mon développement + intérêt pour jouer de la musique/la guitare et deux fonctions dans mes tutoriels que j'aimerais te faire part.♪
#1- Sans équivoque
c'est toi qui m'a inspiré et motivé d'apprendre la guitare/devenir un musicien♪
#2- Dans les introductions/mes ouvertures de tutoriels, le fait que j'invite les gens et que je met religieusement l'emphase pour que TOUS utilisent la fonction (dans les paramètres/settings de TH-cam) de pouvoir ralentir la vitesse du playback sans atténuations/tout en restant dans le même pitch (ce qui est hyper-pratique et fantastique), c'est à cause de toi, car quand (à mes débuts,) tu m'avais partagé le fait que toi et quelques amis musiciens, trouvaient que ça déroulait trop vite pour bien exécuter et/ou apprendre fluidement.♪
#3- Comme tu a peut-être remarqué? depuis spécialement 2022, (quand c'est nécessaire et que ça ne fait pas que suivre/*fly over* les root notes) j'anime même la BASSE , et ce nouveau rajout (quand t'es guitariste pas compliqué d'émuler/comprendre qu'est-ce joue la basse) est aussi inspiré par le fait que lorsque qu'on se verra, nous pourrons s'amuser de les jouer ensemble (et un jour peut-être avec Gloria au piano?) et c'est un win-win pour inspirer les gens à partager mes contenus, à une plus grande variété de musiciens de toutes langues.♪

I hope AI won't find a way to create tutorials like these, an easy thing.

What a great lesson - not a bunch of talking and great clear video with tab. Use the slow down feature and pause if I miss something. I've been playing for years and your choices of chord voicings/etc. are "practical" and usable. Liked and subscribed!
Greetings and welcome, Mr. David Garfinkel ;^)♪
Super thanks for the genuinely humbling and much-appreciated appreciation, sir.♪
As far as I'm concerned, I'm not a big fan, too, of the long & often tedious
selection of talking heads video guitar lessons.♪
It doesn't take off their undeniable competencies and precious musical information,
but I'm sincerely pleased to read that you enjoy the no talking and straight-to-the-point SD lessons,
because I know it's more effective (and thanks, too, to YT for their slowing down the playback speed option
in their settings) and I know it will cater to lots of musicians preference, as a learning format/visual method.♪
But trust me, I would highly doubt, that there are many folks like me
who as 40 years of guitar experience combined with 5 intense years of learning
this very complex editing software *After Effects*, that enables me to produce
these advanced animated guitar chord progressions.♪
Not just that, but the fact there is no talking,
technically it should be understood comprehensively in all languages, too?
And tablatures with numbers, never been able to follow them,
always preferred to have music sheets. But even though I can be perceived as biased
I definitely prefer what I call *my animated musical notes/sheets*, that I proudly share
with you all, for an easier ride toward learning their outstanding music catalog.♪

Hi there again, Mr. boomiron. Very humbled by your comment. ;^) ♪
I do this for guitarists, and they're the ones who really appreciate it the most/ they understand the musical, visual language is laid out before their very eyes. ;^) ♪
Till there is more (I say this humbly), advanced guitarists that have the experience and the will to edit (with "After Effects" or another software)
long and tedious animations like these, I'm sure my method will remain in a category of its own. ;^) ♪
(99.999%) of tutorial formats are English talking head format, and wait (average) 3 minutes before clearing the first chord explanation.
Well, another 30 to go..(with SD, obviously)..lol. .;^) ♪
For that matter, I like to believe that opening the boundaries of languages by capitalizing on the visuals, English is definitely the most significant player in the world of learning (especially Steely Dan), so I hope people, in general, will be motivated/ not hesitate to share it within other cultures and their different languages. ;^) ♪

What pickups are in the telecaster? Amp?
Hi there, Mr. Blue Eyed Soul Man .;^) ♪ Thanks a bunch for enquiring about my gear,
and sincerely hope you've enjoyed the learning method/process of this tutorial, too? (lol..!) ♪
The amp is (sorry I can't post commercial links in the description, so just copy and paste, you'll get there instantly)
- BOLT BTC-50 guitar amp, made in the USA, Celestion, 6L6 or EL34, FX loop, reverb, Loaded with features! -
There's the one single 12-inch open-back version, but I own the four 10-inch Patriots open-back (so heavy) BTC-50 model. ♪
Truly a rich tone versatile tubed amplifier, that has a patented line-out for recordings, that emulates either, an ON or OFF axis microphone. Straight out of the body. quite impressive, and the recording sounds as good as what you hear live. ♪
If I choose to add an external microphone for recordings, most probably we would get more of the speaker's intensity and grain,
but in all IMO it's a massive time saver and a sound that is easy to mix, because of such great input and the reverbs are so lovely
and rich/full body + pleasefull for the ears .♪
You can have from the beautiful Pat Metheny and Walter Becker's clean guitar sound and tones to Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughn's crazy tones. It's a Mesa Boogie/Marshall/Fender (and more?) combined in one.♪
There's an ACTIVE tone button (a turbo), that enhances every 3 levels of amplification, in either the RHYTHM CHANNEL or the LEAD CHANNELL which you can choose independently a preferred reverb for either one, between the Hall, Plate, or Spring nice-sounding reverbs.♪
-----------------------------------
The Pick-Ups are two (copy and paste) - Seymour Duncan HOT P-RAILS
Versatile Hot Humbucker Pickups -
(I guess, I enjoy Versatility? (Lol..!)).♪
It's has mostly a Gibson ish tone aesthetics, ♪

I take this time writing this elaborated message, because on June 25th, 2022, there was a memorial for my late step-father *JUDE*, who past away before the pandemic in December 2019.

The only thing of a Telecaster, is obviously the original American maple neck (which thick as a shovel (Lol..!),)
that he had ordered a long time ago, to finally stop procrastinating after years and built it up, with some prefered pickups.♪

Excellent video. One correction: 'Stetson' is a brand of high-quality hat made in Texas.
Greetings, Mr. Freedomsound4469, amigo ;^) ♪
I'm surprised today after all this time since I've published it, that it's the first comment that has pinpointed that quite obvious misspelling (that I haven't saw too).♪
Unfortunately, once I've uploaded it, it's unmodifiable or has to be reuploaded with the correction (maybe one day?).♪
I don't know how or why I missed/made so many misspellings at the beginning, maybe it's my French-speaking background?, but eventually a SEBscriber Bruce Siegel volunteered to verify my lyrics before I publish them because he noticed a lot of misspellings all around, and my English bio about me, and stuff I was writing in my descriptions.♪

Little bit easier to play this one than Deacon Blues! Lol love Steely Dan.
Hi there (mr./mrs. ?) LMH! Cannot agree more! ;^) ♪
"Can't buy a thrill" the album in general. I obviously the one that has "Only a fool would say that" in,
Like you said, all their tracks are more accessible than any of their 8 other albums. ;^) ♪
But "Deacon Blues" (and for any other more complicated/ advanced songs), In TH-cam parameters,
if you slow-down the playback and set it up at 75% or 50% of its average speed (yes, without losing the pitch)
the learning processes are astonishingly easier. Try "I got the News," the average rate ain't fair .. lol..! ;^) ♪
But what distinguishes the winning and magic word in your phrase? It's not that it's easy but EASIER!

Hi there, Mr. Stratman 1920, Thanks a bunch for your appreciated reply/ comment. ;^) ♪
A slightly different approach, I admit. You need a lot of time on the side and a few (4) years of programming/ keyframing, with advanced software like " After Effects" and a few more, like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Ableton Live. These EACH can take me an average of 5 days (40 hrs + ) to produce and learn. ;^) ♪

dealing with visual FX software is quite an adventure when you wanna go in-depth to learn all the many details to oversee.

Hello once more, and how you doin', Mr David Lane ;^) ♪
(IMO) In this channel with my content/animated visual method
I honestly don't even know why someone would care for guitar tabs,

postion changes for guitar chord voicing progressions.♪

.
what does r mean? why is the A minor so bad sounding when i play it?! getting the hang of the song though!
Greetings, Mr. Bulletproof Panda, sir ;^) ♪
The *R* stands for the ROOT BASS note of the chord displayed. ♪
The only thing I can think about what could make your Am sound bad is that if you put your finger when the ROOT NOTE is highlighted IN WHITE, it's because it's an OPEN STRING that is required. ♪
Other than that, make sure (especially for the BLUE BARRE/the index) to focus on the *R* as the star of the chord position. ♪
---------------------
When the *R* open A string is required, If without knowing or by mistake you put your finger on the first fret, therefore playing a Bb, the chord becomes an *Am/Bb*, which is indeed very odd sounding (lol...). ♪
If there are any other questions, please let me know.♪
Peace + respect ;^) ♪
