Who Wrote Can’t You See?
"Can't You See" was written by Toy Caldwell, the lead guitarist and primary songwriter for the classic Southern rock group the Marshall Tucker Band. Caldwell was known for his distinctive guitar playing and made big contributions to the band’s iconic sound.
He wrote "Can't You See" while recovering from a motorcycle accident. The song's bluesy tone and reflective lyrics show Caldwell's emotional state during his recovery.
“Can’t You See” was released in 1973 on the group's debut album The Marshall Tucker Band. It was recorded in 1973 at Capricorn Sound Studios in Macon, Georgia. This studio was a hub for Southern rock at the time, hosting sessions for bands like the Allman Brothers Band and Wet Willie.
The lineup original lineup featured Toy Caldwell (guitar, vocals), Doug Gray (lead vocals), Jerry Eubanks (flute, saxophone), George McCorkle (rhythm guitar), Paul Riddle (drums), and Tommy Caldwell (bass).
The Marshall Tucker Band album was produced by Paul Hornsby, who also played keyboards on the track. "Can't You See" has become a signature song for the Marshall Tucker Band and a staple of classic rock radio. It has been covered by numerous artists, including Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr., and Kid Rock.
There is an extended version lasting 6:05 and then a single edit for radio that was about half the length coming in at 3:20. But the band was known for its extended live versions. Live, Toy Caldwell's guitar solos would go to the moon featuring the band’s improvisational skills and epic energy.
The song has appeared in various movies, TV shows, and commercials, including the 2001 film "Blow" starring Johnny Depp.

Loved this song 50 years ago; yes, I am that old. The lesson is very well done, thanks!
Felt like this song was written explicitly for me, or at least one that I could completely relate to, more than a couple times over my my lifetime. Still one of my all time favorites!!
your opening lead her is amazing, can you break it down for us?
Did I just find my new go to guitar channel? Thank you for the video..VERY HELPFUL!
Great lesson !
I have indeed wnjoyed your videos and learned from everyone I watched wether it pointed out what I forgot/Ignored or gave me something new to work on or refine you make quality content and I appreciate that..Cheers for Myrtle Beach SC
Wow! Thanks, man!

Thank you!
Good lesson Jon and congratulations on getting to 70,000 subscribers. You deserve many more.
Excellent vid mate…
Nice, one of my favorites!
I really like your lessons. Accurate, high quality. Definitely helping me fill a lot of gaps. Been navigating your channel,aside from your daily posts, it'll a goldmine! Love the Slowhand series
Awesome stuff Jon! Lot of cool soulful riffs all clustered in the BB box
I prefer to hear licks described by note function like "bend the 2nd up to the 3rd" rather than "on the 2nd string bend 15th fret up the the 17th fret". It encourages people to think in a very useful way about what they are playing. I really like this channel and it seems like its oriented toward more experienced players that might agree with me on this. But you know your audience Jon, just MHO.
Recently saw them in concert at a casino. We got kicked out though because I was drunk and you weren't allowed to dance with a lit cigarette. Lol Great show, no matter how much people talk down on their lineup today.
I like it when you give the notes, F# down to E, etc. I know many players use the fret position, 3 on 1st string, etc, but I like to know the notes. Glad to see you're rocking the mature haircut.
Aren't those licks in the G major pentatonic pattern? What am I not getting?!?
Am I seeing this right? On the PDF Ex 2 reads 15 t0 13....shouldn't be 17 to 15? I might need new glasses.
👍
