Might be the best cover you’ve ever done, Justin! I’m going to give this one a try.

Justin, Thank you for this lesson. This is one of my favorite songs. I am anxious to get started learning it and experimenting with it. Thank you again.

Looking forward to the tab - not currently there?

tab please

Hi Scott @scottasaigon and Jamu @Jamu (welcome here and wishing you an amazing ride :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:),
With new tutorials it can take a while before the tab is added, but usually not too long…

I have a new song in the queue :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:, nice played, great to learn indeed,

Greetings,Rogier

Cheers for the heads up. Gonnado the song now without tab and see how it goes :slight_smile:

Good on ya mate!! YOUR VOICE has improved SO MUCH over the years!!!

Thanks for the lesson btw!! This one’s on my list!

Looking forward to learning this, your version was inspiring and your vocals are so good.

On the piano emulation part, it looks like Justin is playing something different from what the tab in the video says - the G6 to G9 specifically has different fingering to the tab, I think?

Tab is showing a G major but listed as G9. Use the fingering Justin is using in the video.
But either chord will work.

Strange to see it as a Grade 1 song while the F chord is only taught in Grade 2.

We plan to play this with our band, so already had some trials, but I never felt I was nailing it. Now I see what I was missing, thanks for the lesson Justin, I’ll do my best to improve

Hi Justin-Team,
I still can’t see the TABs. Is there an issue with the webpage?
Thanks 4 helping.

With new tutorials it can take a while before the tab is added, but usually not too long… (copie from above :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: )

I don’t know how long you’ve been playing at what level, of course, but I thought it was a super easy to see lesson, the execution took some fine-tuning :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:, but it’s also really good to do… If you can’t do that, you’ll have to be patient for a while, I’m afraid. :grimacing:
or…

are you aware that at the bottom right of the videos there is a settings ‘wheel’ where you can adjust the play speed, this has often helped me in the past.

In the meantime, I wish you welcome here and I hope you have a lot of fun :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Great song and great lesson! I think leaving the bass out sounded just as nice as with. Better still when you kinda alternated.
