  • Here is a lesson on how to play Sleepwalk by Santo and Johnny. I disect the two versions available on TH-cam and teach us how to play the recorded version. I give a little bit of theory analysis and I explain how to play both Santo and Johnny's parts. I once played this piece with Kevin M Buck band, now one of my greatest students Tom wanted to learn it, so I got tired of constantly relearning it and decided to make this video for all of us.

      Terrific job! I think you got everything right except for the last 3 chords. I believe he starts on an 8th fret C MAJ7(C,B,E G) then plays an Fm7b5 (F,B,Eb,Ab) and then the C6 (C,G,E,A). The key here is the B string moving up one half step every time.
      (Of course I could be wrong. I missed out that high G7 on the 10th fret to the regular G7 bar chord 3rd fret that you showed because I didn't get to see the como video only Dick Clark and they hardly show what Johnny is playing on both videos. Plus he's way too low in the mix.

    Terrific job! I think you got everything right except for the last 3 chords. I believe he starts on an 8th fret
    CMAJ7, (C-B-E-G) then he plays an Fm7b5, (F-B-Eb-Ab), then finally the C6 (C-G-E-A)
    The key here is the B string moving up one half step every time, from G to Ab to A.
    (Of course I could be wrong.) Unfortunately they hardly show what Johnny is playing on Dick Clark and Como. And Johnny is way too low in the mix.

    Thank you. I've watched a number of videos on this that shown me slightly different little things that helped me make more sense of it. When you explained Santo's part playing the G to Bb on the 2nd/3rd strings before the verse starts again was the one part I was really missing. Im also playing a maple neck sunburst strat!

    What type of scale are you playing out of for that first lick you said you could add in over the (C7) chord at 31:18

    • @kevinmbuck
      @kevinmbuck  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was just playing random stuff over C7 lol...looks like the first bendy blues lick is a C Minor pent mixed with Major pent (Mixodorian)...then I played some C7b9 arpeggios (C#diminshed7th) then I played a whole tone sounding thing (C9b5b13)...but was just explaining that it is C7 chord, and you can play any Dominant Seventh licks that you want there etc.

  • @lamper2
    @lamper2 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    GREAT explanation about whether it's F or F minor. that seems to be what teachers are yelling about and disagreeing about! I'M HITTING SUBSCRIBE! any chance someone could just ask them ...if they're alive?

    What is the really high part called? I have been searching it up for ages. I can by the way not play the guitar.

    • @kevinmbuck
      @kevinmbuck  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You could look at it a few ways...maybe an easy way to think of it is just as a G Major Pentatonic Scale melody...(over the g7 it gives the sound of a G13 arpeggio...when the C major chord,l sounds, it gives the sound of an implied C major 7 chord.)

Good work in your conversational instruction without trying to set the world on fire with flying fingers. Gave it a like.

    You’re not playing the lead refs. This is just all rhythm. That’s why I’ve become a finger style guitarist. I got sick of read them all the time. I put some pizzazz into my music. I’ve been playing finger style guitar for damn near 50 years I love it that’s the easiest way to ever play this song. But it sounds pretty cool anyway.😎😁🎸
