I use the 9 chord a lot but have never worked out what to call it,mainly e 9. just called it the funky E,I will enroll on your fretboard theory but I have a hand injury at present,and cant play,keep up the good work Rod Earp.
Wow. That is brilliant.I have always wanted to play this song properly,solo,…I have tried it while busking using a combination of bass and chords and descending riff but never tried to sing it with the fonky guitar riff . Here goes.
I haven’t tried to play this funky music on guitar before now. It was always some other genre of music that I tried. I’m glad you had this lesson. I liked it and I enjoyed your lesson. I always learn from listening to you.
The solo isn’t quite 100% but gets the basic vibe across. Excellent work on the chord voicings at the of the chorus😎. Kudos for a great & clearly presented lesson !
I have to say that taking video lessons with Desi is no joke. I never picked up a guitar before this past Christmas, and through Desi’s video lessons I play more songs, better, and by memory, than most of my friends who have been playing (at it) for years.
Desi, with songs like this I find it difficult keeping hold of the pick. Does your Picking Mechanics course address this? If not, how can I work on/ resolve this?
This is strumming not picking so it’s not covered in my picking course. Because of the tempo, 16th notes, and syncopation, this is rather advanced strumming. How well do you play the strum patterns in other songs? How many songs can you play using open chords, power chords, and barre chords?
@@desisernaguitar I'm fine with strumming most other songs. I can play all open chords and, thanks to your video lessons, most barre chords and triads as well. Been playing off and on for many years. I'm an older guy (62) and i seem to play with a light grip on the pick that causes me to either re-finger it or drop it completely. I've made a conscious effort to hold it tighter, but it feels uncomfortable. Looking for ideas. Thanks for all you do.
