Another song by David Gates and Bread is in the library now - Make It With You.
Make It With You is a song written by David Gates, and originally recorded by the American band Bread, of which Gates was a member.
It appears on their 1970 studio album 'On The Waters' and became Bread's only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
This lesson is primarily based on how Gates himself plays it on guitar. It's done in the key of E, and uses several colourful chords, which we break down in great detail. We also take a look at this riff played by the other instruments throughout the arrangement, for the ones who'd like to incorporate it.
The strumming in double time is somewhat straightforward, but features quite a bit of syncopation.
There is also a segment in which we talk a little bit about the names of the chords. Some are very long, but aren't necessarily hard to play.
