A sample from "John Sebastian Teaches Eight Lovin' Spoonful Hits" available as an instant download here: leapingbrain.com/modshop/chec...
Learn to play some of the most enduring hits in the history of rock and roll! John Sebastian guides you through nine of his classic songs, teaching the chord progressions, bass lines, strums and fingerpicking techniques that will enable you to play these good-time tunes with relative ease.With his affable good humor and impeccable musicianship, John points out the small nuances that will help you simulate the instruments and sounds you heard on the original recordings. He adds insights into the music and some delightful tidbits of rock history based on four decades of experience in the music business.Most of the arrangements on this lesson are in the basic C chord position, giving you a musical education in how to get a lot out of a few simple chords and some subtle ideas. You'll have lots of fun adding great songs to your repertoire.Songs:Do You Believe in Magic, Daydream, Summer in the City, Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind, Nashville Cats, You Didn't Have to Be So Nice, Welcome Back, Younger Girl, Darling Be Home Soon.

I would have loved for Zal Yanovsky to have shown what he played on the record. There is footage of them doing this live on youtube. If you are a better guitar player than I am you might be able to figure out what Zal was doing by watching. John is showing a great arrangement for one picker on acoustic guitar. I would love to see hoe the lead licks were played on the albums. I'm not trying to taking anything away from John, I'm just a HUGE fan of Zal Yanovsky.

He was not ahead of his time. He fit right in with his time and era. This phrase is used way too much about average musicians. There were 4 men truly ahead of their time in rock and pop music. Robert Johnson, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen. His standard chord progressions, catchy melodies and teeny pop lyrics were NOT ahead of anything.

'Saw John (solo) at a little venue in Toronto called "Hugh's Room" a few years ago. 'Wonderful, wonderful night. He had such a good time, he broke his rule of never playing the "Welcome Back Kotter" theme, and played it for us! We had a chance to meet and chat after. He is such a cool man.

Thanks John. I always loved your singing style that had a talking groove to it- that F & G chord blend sure helps clear that 5 for me. This particular tune had that extraordinary bluesy overlap harmony that still knocks me out every time.

@starfishsystems 6 лет назад
That's an F extended by an added 9 in the root. I suppose it would be written F/9 or it might even show up as F/2. It's not quite as wistful as a maj9 and the inversion firms it up even further.

John Sebastian- paying it forward for years. Solo, he did more beatuiful songs standing the test of time. I can't start summer without blasting Summer in the City, or playing She's Funny when I reminiisce. Great jug band music and last I knew he was still showing off playing harmonica. Seems effortless to him. Plus he seems like such a great unselfish gent/ There are a lot from this generation paying it forward, musicains doing this- look them up. Betthey'd like to know they are still well regarded for helping a budding musician

I got John's DVD as part of a "Baby Boomer's" package deal from Homespun, along with DVDs of Tom Rush teaching (some of) his favorite songs, and the late Pete Huttlinger teaching Jim Croce songs. Good stuff. "To give the impression of the autoharp, which, _schwunggg_ . . . " Yup, that's what it sounded like, John; loved it. (Ha; I wonder if "schwung" is the past tense of "schwing.")

@2011littlejohn1

I think John Sebastian is graciously assuming you already know how to play the guitar and is just teaching you the song in a very diplomatic equal sort of stance. The video shows you exactly what he's doing and the one time he strayed from a straightforward chord he told you how to do it. Great to see his irrepressible humour is still around.

That's awesome it's the original guy playing it, but it's in the wrong key! :( I know things get transposed sometimes, but it's in the key of A on the original recording, so I'll probably just use a capo on the 2nd fret, which will be what he's playing, but in the original key. 😎

Is this a "sample" of the lessons? For what seems like quite an easy song, I couldn't make out all the chords, and the picking was a bit fast. I'm sure the lessons for sale are alot better. Anyway, I've seen a couple of famous singer/songwriters on You tube, and I think its so cool of them to teach their own songs, like this great one. Thanks, John! Always loved your songs, going way back to the 60's!
