Beginnings/Chicago (tutorial) - cover by Tonedr

Thanks Doc! Terrific lesson. I love your work,both solo and with the Lexington lab band. Your comments on multiple voicings when playing with other musicians is also appreciated.

Thank you for your clear, understandable presentation / demonstration.
I'm quite old and icky, so having pointed out keeping the same finger
positions and sliding them, as one option, makes it easier to get into
practicing this great song.

The guitar you're playing in this video, is that a Martin D-35 ?
It sounds great.
I can't make out the name on the head stock.
Thanks again

Here's an unrelated question. I have heard some folks fool with the melodies of songs by transposing tunes which were originally written in major into minor. Some examples include the National Anthem, Hey Jude, Amazing Grace, and even Silent Night. Doing this gives the song an almost eerie effect. But when songs are ORIGINALLY written in a minor key, they may sound slightly sad, but it's much less noticeable. Why is that?

Nice job-
This is one of the greatest love songs of all time-
And that guitar is the definition of a nicely balanced sounding acoustic guitar.

I subscribed and im excited about looking at your other stuff.

Still a great lesson after 12 years. Those major 7 chords are a good workout (especially that cascading grip!). Much appreciated!

This going to be so easy I can't wait when I get my acoustic guitar I can just write down on the frets and the letters to put my fingers real slowly

good tutorial as always, thank u

Thanks again, Dale! I took this lesson eight or nine years ago and came back for a refresher, today. Wonderful lesson!

Thanks

Thanks brother.

Of all of the tutorials on this song, you have THE only accurate one! I had the honor of learning this from Robert himself, many years ago. Along the way, I forgot a couple of the chord voicings, and you nailed it. Thanks for the memories!

Thank you. what is the strumming pattern. I am missing it by a beat.....Thank you for posting, nice job at explaining it.

Stumbled across this a few days after seeing these guys live...good clean fun...thanks!

This video is dated 2010. I can't believe it's taken me 11 years to find your channel. You always pick the songs I love in your videos. Great stuff! Thanks!

When I heard it live. Before they went to Gmajor7 .
They went to Dmajor7 to c then Gmajor7

Excellent!

Thank You!! I just learned the whole song and it wasn't that difficult. I grew up listening to this song and always loved it! I can't believe I can play it anytime I want to now. Thank you.

Would u please send me the info on the guy that built that bass guitar I see on llb channel sometimes? Tks Keith

Nice job, bro! Thanks.

Thanks so much for keeping this up so long! Never thought I could play this on guitar but you make it crystal clear, thank you!

I'm singing and hearing it in my head as you play. Awesome technique! Spot on.

It's not cheating, it's good tradecraft!

Great lesson

I like the way your guitar sounds. Can you tell me what guitar you have and what strings you use?

Brings back good ole memories of growing up in the seventies.

Sounds really nice and mellow. ***
