Thank you for not using uninteresting open chords. You nailed the exact chord voicings of the original with drop-D tuning. Brilliant! Now, can you teach us the solo? =)
Thoroughly enjoyable and productive. I am a born again bassist following a 51 year Black Sabbatical but I'm "semi tone" deaf. I need chord charts to fits bass line and when I look at lyrics and chords stuff, I struggle to work out where to change and yours is a great presentation and also you present it in a calm way All those zap and pow tutorials and hey you guys don't work for me but that's not a criticism just a preference. Thanks
Great tune and great lesson. a few days ago I've seen the video of this song by Reina del cid and I'was jus wandering how to play it, now I've found this beautiful lesson by you. thats great, now I've got all I need to play it. thank you Pilgrim. ciao
I just stumbled upon your lessons. I have been fiddle farting around on the guitar for years and consider myself a 4/4 campfire strummer. I will reference your lessons in moving my playing along. Thanks great job. You provide chord diagrams and tabs which is very helpful.
I dunno what they're doing in that song. Like all hits, there's a bitta magic in there. And its Gerrys guitar. My reckoning is that the intro was using a guitar in standard pitch with a drop D, and the song uses a standard guitar 'tuning', but dropped a whoe step (D)
Thanks so much for this lesson. I've been playing this approximately, but wrong, for a long time. As you have shown, the timing of the strumming is the essence of this song. And while I'm here, the other thing that is essential is the harmony on 'stuck in the middle'. Almost everyone who sings it, pro or open mic, gets it wrong. I'm not musically trained enough to explain what they're doing wrong. Any ideas?
not a difficult song, but I appreicate you putting the chord charts up since you don't have fret markers on your guitar which makes it a little frrustrating simply trying to follow you visually. (though I used to have a fretless bass and I love playing fretless instruments) honestly, I wish All guitar tutorials on RU-vid would use chord charts. there are too many ways to play the same chord and people shouldn't assume every guitarists knows all of them. thank yo.
You have a very interesting speaking voice. Singing is ok but your speaking voice.... I think you have something special or different. I haven’t pinpointed it yet but I think it worth doing a five minute recording of yourself reading maybe some children’s fairytales. Try it . I believe your voice could go places. Thank you ❤️🎶
Guitar Pilgrim The solos from 'Sympathy for the Devil ' would be fantastic as well; probably my favourite of all time. By the way, in English, Gerry is pronounced Jerry, so like the cartoon cat, not like 'Gary'. Gerry Rafferty was in a band with Billy Connolly for a while, this song is about signing his first record deal.
