I wouldn't mind if this song went on for another 20 minutes, what a groove! Thanks to all Patrons for your continued support, your chord sheet is available here: bit.ly/40eESsU
I love your videos, informative and inspiring and interesting nuggets of information, I would have no interest in this song but your take on it and enthusiasm for it and discussion of it makes it appealing to me. Though so far all i have learned is that maybe i am open minded, maybe blues is something i would never want to really listen to but really enjoy playing and always happy to learn about. Thanks
Leon was the glue that held many of these collabo bands together back in the early 70s. And to think that Elton found him in the ditch by the side of the road later in his life. I'm so glad he went out on top.
Wow!!! I never thought this footage would be noticed or made a video for. As a beginner i wouldn’t say i did a good job of transcription but I’m glad someone else did!! Thank you
👏👏That was terrific Thom! Great tune and one of the best live versions was done by The Allman Brothers. Hope that you and your family are doing well. 👍👍🎸🎸
You got me groovin' again this Saturday morning. Taking this song along with me for later. BTW, I read about this recording as prep for "Concert For Bangladesh". Thanks Thom.
As a guitarist, I preferred Harrison's tossed off, improvised soloing, which shadow the basic I IV V changes (typical of Harrison's country-jazz harmonic sensibilities redolent of his influences, e.g., Chet Atkins, Big Bill Broonzy and the like) whereas Clapton pretty much works his pentatonics around the tonic, as is his wont. And the two guitarists sound great together, somehow managing to back iconic Leon and yet play with him at the same time. This off-the-cuff rehearsal captures iconic musicians at the end of an era, side-stepping the weight (no pun intended, Robbie) and just grooving. Great stuff. GREAT ON-POINT COMMENTARY, Monsieur Guitar Pilgrim
"The woman i love, lives with my best friend..." Russel didn't have to make this up, there in 1971 he played with the blueprint! A year before, 1970, Clapton had written "Layla" about his love for Pattie Boyd, Harrison's wife at that time.
Thom, Guitar brother (GP) you are fantastic. Every video I’ve watched from you I have always enjoyed. Heck I’d say I love them. You have a great attitude. There are a few YT guitar channels out there that I enjoy and are really good. You rate right near the top. I’d love to hook up with you and grab a drink but then just sit down with you and just talk and play guitar. Cheers! You always make my day. Yours truly, The other Tom (Thomas). Ha.
Good video. One question please, what Fender model is that guitar? I want to buy one of the same and follow your videos, since I am subscribed to the channel
thats a great tone on your strat - what its going through ? This is not just a random question as I am plugging in my own american standard after several years on acoustic and failing badly do get anything decent . Thanks also for bring this video to us. A groove that will butter your toast.
You don't think double drummers work? Guess you never saw the Allman Brothers perform. You don't know what you missed. Thanks for your tips. i watch every video.
the famous "dope-sick" gig for clapton.... first time he had to travel overseas as a full blown H addict, and was not prepared for the withdrawals. had to cop methadone off one of the camera guys just to play the gig.
George has studio quality musicians playing the good sounding harder to play stuff just like they most of the Beatles stuff had studio musicians instead of him.
@@chiefline7084 they only used other musicians for instruments they did not (yet) play themselves. The only exceptions were Clapton on While my guitar gently weeps and Billy Preston on Let it be and Abbey road sessions. And of course George Martin played piano on a lot of songs.
