+Geordie Hallam i'm glad you are enjoying your guitar! thanks for checking this out and all the best with your music! BTW i'll be hearing DM live for the first time this summer on tour with Doobies and Journey.
Love this song. Just got tickets yesterday to see Dave Mason in Milwaukee with my best friend since 1978. Can't wait. I remembered that you did this tutorial and just wanted to listen. So nice. I downloaded a bunch of Dave Mason songs on to my Nook from Spotify and realized that I knew the words to a ton of his songs. I don't know if you and the band have chosen the music that you are going to do this year, but boy does Dave Mason have a catalog of great songs, including his Traffic stuff. Lots of great guitar solos. Really wonderful lyrics as well. Thank you for posting your tutorial. Love to hear you play.
"We never disagree"...........love this tuto, friend........actually i love all your tutorials and vid lessons...........your really a great professional and that's why u are the best ........GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great lesson on an old classic. Been following your lessons since I started 5 yrs ago and I'm extremely grateful for your time and knowledge. Cheers buddy!
Another great lesson. Thanks Dale. Every few months, I check in to see what some of my "bucket list" tunes that are out there to learn. Coming to your site guarantees this. Never Going Back Again, South City Midnight Lady, and so many more. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing.
thanks so much for the very kind post and taking your time to check out the vids - in a perfect world we'd get together and play these! your friend, dale.
I wanted to leave you a message the other day, but I think I forgot. What a great lesson!!! At 57 seeing things unlocked on the guitar is mind blowing to say the least. Brovo to you!
hello...thanks for the kind post and taking your time to check this one out! I saw DM last summer and he sounded amazing! I hope you enjoy playing this one and all the best with your music!
I've been playing guitar for 50 years and have never heard the term "grip" used. But the first time you said it a lightbulb went on over my my head. And it wasn't one of those lousy CFL bulbs....it was a good old fashioned incandescent light that shone a lot brighter.
VR Sarti haha..i like the old school lights too! thanks for giving your time to check out the vid and your post is sincerely appreciated! Between us we've got a couple years in at this and i love it more than ever as i'm sure you do as well - wish we could get together and pick - who knows one day we might!best,dale
Thank you! Amazing how many bad covers there are of this great song on the internet. But you nailed the chords and the sound with the open E tuning. Only thing missing is the 12 string guitar! Great job!
Hey Dale! Great tutorial on a fun song to strum and Play! Though not terribly difficult this one gives me trouble if I don't play it for a While! My twin brother Dave asked me to show him this one and as I said piece of cake thought I'd better check with you before I take the cake out of the freezer! TX my friend, the cake has Defrosted! I like going back to B chord Also! Hope you and your family have a great summer and God Bless!
hello Bob...so good to hear from you and thanks for the making me laugh! In a perfect world you and your brother and i would sit and play this one together - 3 guitars would sound amazing - and while we're dreaming we'll ask DM to and sit in too:) keep pickin', your friend, dale.
WOW! Great tutorial.. I am never one to learn covers unless pressed. Rebecca wanted me to play Elton John's Your Song so I learned it for her. I have always appreciated Dave Mason's song We Just Disagree. I heard it enough times in my youth to have it by heart. Thank you I just may give it a go! Right now i am banging away at George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" Steven Dwight Longe
REALLY good lesson... and I love the Collings. Some day... some day... I'm going to own one. Any chance you could do a lesson on "How Do I Get To Heaven" by Mr. Mason. I think I'm "close" but something tells me you'd pick up some things I'm missing.
Nice tune. I may put this one on the list. Great tone on that little guitar. Remarkable intonation while playing up the neck. Good teacher. I don't have my guitar out but I think that is one of the preset tunings on the the Variax. Thought the tuning was more for slide guitar, but it works really well on this song.
Like to revisit time to time. This one right here links us. Must've played you a few dozen times to see if i could sound out chords strummed by my passing brother. Two awesome spirits.
such a great song and thanks for the very kind post. I heard DM live for the first time a couple of years ago and it was so great to hear him play this! thanks for sharing music and friendship, best, dale.
@@tonedr hey Dale, i like to revisit your posts now and then to remind me of how much i suck😂😅 and to bring back songs I’ve forgotten since we play many of the same songs. I’ve had alot of medical issues that take alot out of me and keep me from playing as much as i love to. I also love to listen to LLB. It’s truly a collection of professional musicians having a great time but not getting credit for it. Both channels give me a tremendous amount of comfort since I’m in alot of pain at times but playing and learning music i love brings comfort so I thank you. Listen, if you ever plan on coming thru Salt Lake City, Utah, look me up and we can jam. I’ve got some extra equipment and if you want to come visit and ski we have great skiing. I live alone so if you need or want a free lodge to crash in I’d enjoy having you anytime. Take care and keep up the great music. I really enjoy listening. Fogelberg’s an old favorite. I was sincerely bummed when he died. Take care my friend . I know we’ve never personally met but for some reason i seem to relate. Best of luck and much happiness in your future endeavors. (801)698-4963. Come out and visit if you ever just need to get away. You are always welcome.
Completely forgot about this gem until I heard it on the radio a few days ago. You’re the first one I’ve seen to get the tuning right. Great job. How about a tutorial on Sailing by Christopher Cross? None of them I’ve seen is correct. It’s an open tuning too
Man this is amazing! . If you don't remember me I'm Didedrum and have always loved your tutorials! I lost my entire accont and am to trying to reconnect. beautiful playing! Rock on! ~Dice~
hello friend! great to hear from you and i'm sorry about your channel. Glad your back and i appreciate you checking this out. Thanks for sharing music for…a few years now, your friend, dale.
TX Dale! The 3 of us playing would be great! I think you could show DM a thing or two! If not on this side of life, We'll jamm on the side where there is no need for tuning! All guitars are in perfect tune in heaven and Open E is there for the asking!
So Dale, haven't had a chance to tell you about the DM concert I saw a few weeks ago with my best friend. You were right, he was fantastic. His voice is as good as it was 40 years ago. So I almost didn't make the concert. The week of the show I started feeling really sick with a cold and by Fri. I was sick as a dog. By Fri. night I had a 102 degree fever and felt like crap. So when I woke up on Sat. I took two of absolutely everything in the medicine cabinet, because of course if one is good, two is better. By the time I drove down to Milwaukee I was feeling no pain. Had dinner and a couple of drinks with my friend and then went to see the concert. It was so good. Have to put it in the top five concerts I have ever seen. He played just about everything that I wanted to hear. He did a couple of Traffic songs that were killer. He did Dear Mr. Fantasy, and then the highlight Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. So good. I looked over at my friend of almost 40 years and we both had tears in our eyes. After the show we went back to our hotel and had a couple of beer flights in the bar. My best friend is the funniest person that I know. Do you have a friend that when you are with them all you do is laugh? My friend lives in IL. and I live in WI. so we don't see each other a lot, but when we do we have such a great time. Any way bar closed so we went up to my room and I turned her on to LLB. We watched you guys for two hours. All of a sudden it was 2:00 A.M. She is now a fan too. What a great night that we had. Going to be hard to forget this one. I will be seeing my friend again at the end of the month. George Thorogood added a concert in Milw. so she and I are going. This ought to be a doozer!. Sorry for the excessively long post, but I still haven't learned how to condense my thoughts.
Great lesson. Thanks. Would love it if you'd do Only You Know and I Know (also Open E I think), if you had the time. What string gauge are you using to tune up to open E? Can you leave your guitar at that tension for a while? Thanks again!
love that song and i promise i'll give it a hard listen! I'm using lights - i think best practice would be not to leave in open E - an alternative would be to leave your guitar in open D (DADF#AD) and capo up 2 frets but i know that's not ideal either. Keep pickin', dale.
I have a download from Ultimate Guitar which shows a high E and an 'M2' which is the 9th fret grip at the 11th fret. I'm going to watch Dave play and see if he does it that way. Your video was helpful in getting the rhythm and sounding the D string...I missed that though now it seems obvious..
Great instruction! I've always liked the song but could not get a guitar player to do it correctly. I play bass, but saw your video and learned the song (I have always played a little guitar). I played it on my new acoustic at a gig when everybody was on break and the guitar player was blown away. Thanks Man!
You're right to add the extra notes, that is correct. Dave has other musician's playing those notes while Dave sings the song, he sort of takes short cuts while performing it. I noticed the same thing you did. Thank you for doing this and posting it. Props.
it's a Collings 01A - a Martin design and it is little but it's very comfortable and with the pickup i'm very happy playing out with it. Thanks for the interest...all the best, dale.
tonedr Thanks--Love the Collinngs Guitar--It seems your the only guy who chords We Just Disagree Like Mason with "E" tuning--Interesting to see the others interpretations (one is really pretty interesting using a "D" tuning--like the fact you picked up the difference of how he does it in concert and the recording (going back to the A)--glad I found your video--will look for more--W
Very nice, I went to a Mason concert last week which renewed my enthusiasm to learn this song. Thanks for making it easy! How about "How Do I Get to Heaven? :>
I know it's not your mission in life, but you have been extremely helpful to me. You've obviously put a ton of time into learning these songs correctly and I can't express how awesome that is. You've saved me an incredible amount of time by not having to sit down and figure out each song by ear. I'm indebted to you. Perhaps someday I can be of service to you. Thanks again for being so generous with your labors. PS, to anyone reading this, this gentleman is a first rate player and is meticulous when it comes to performing. You can't go wrong studying his work. Bravo! soundcloud.com/ptm-productions
PTM Productions please know i really appreciate this kind post - it makes it all worth while and what a great thing it is these days that we can share music and get to 'meet' others with whom we share a common passion. I wish you the best with your music and your post was 'service' enough. your friend, dale
tonedr I have to whole-heartedly agree. The amount of work you've put in to not only reach this level of proficiency but to so generously share it is a wonderful thing. Dale thanks for helping my music as well. I love this song, I never realized it was in open D.
I dont know if its me...ive only been playing two years. I find so much explanation on chord strucure. And too liile on the strumming. Up up down up....etc....the timing of strumming as well. too... ...
So many bad lessons on YT for this song. I mean, they don't even remotely sound like the song. Then I found yours...open E tuning. Duh. That's the ticket. Great lesson, thanks.
I wish someone would break down the strum pattern per chord more slowly. The chords are eeezy peasy...but the song is so syncopated a playthrough at 1/5 speed would allow me to the nail this semi complicated/syncopated pattern.
