I saw an interview with Skunk Baxter. He said that he developed his “ca-chunka” style strum from playing by himself with no drummer. To him it added that element. The rest is history!
I've noticed your dog always comes over and lays down when you start a lesson. It's like they know your filming, or maybe just thinks you're telling them a bed time story. lols
If I talk a little too loud, my cats evacuate immediately but I can strum at full volume and they'll just hang out next to me. Animals may be more responsive to music than some of us might think.
Excellent as usual-the "Tommy Johnston shuffle" as this used to be called.I keep waiting for that great Tiran Porter bassline to come banging in after the first few bars.!
There are tons of song instructions on yt but your way and style of teaching is really great and very accurate, I'm new to your Chanel but loving it thank you
Apparently they used to play this as a jam song at nightclubs. Their producer Ted Templeman, suggested adding words, so Tom did that and voila. Great tune.
Howard your the Dr. What a way to start the week....you Rock ...Thank you...I'm older and remember when that song hit am radio...it stopped us all in our tracks...people stopped and listened....this song made us all want to play guitar....again Thank you...your lesson brought back memories
Did you know Jeff Skunk Baxter became a highly paid, highly sought after expert on electronic signal technology leading to a career DOD Contractor in the area of SIGINT
This guitar part is always a cool one. Do you have vids of you in bands you played in? That would be nice to see. You have a great Channel with many songs that I use as a library. Nice work!
I'm curious and trying to learn. During the Cm7, Cm6 part, after the 2 down strokes, why do you "hang" at the bottom and start the triplets with an upstroke? Why not use that extra time after the 2nd down stroke to come to the top and start the triplets from the down stroke? Thanks.
Great tutorial ! Very detailed :) Only thing that could confuse people is your rhythm example at 6.12. You are using three down strokes which could could confuse people (may be because you try to only on the rhythm). In order to be able to play this (very cool :)) Cm7 part, it is crucial to play down -up - down strokes when the chord rings. This creates a very even 8th note rhythm, with the chord only ringing on the first (down), fourth (up) and seventh (down) stroke You do play this correctly of course in all the normal tempo examples ;)
