Hi Everyone,
Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.
Grammy Award winner Bon Iver is an American indie folk band founded in 2007 by singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. Skinny Love was the first single released from their debut album ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’. It was also successfully covered by artists such as 15-year old Birdie and Ed Sheeran.
It features relatively easy chord shapes in the key of C, in an open C-tuning where the strings are tuned as CGEGCC. It’s in swing time, with a simple main strumming pattern. The lesson covers the progression as well as all the fun to play riffs and embellishments such as slides, pull-off’s and hammer-on’s which appear throughout the song.
Enjoy this level 4 lesson!

I haven't heard of Bon Iver before.
Gosh, that tuning creates a strange but attractive sound.
Looks to be a cool lesson, no change there eh ?

You're certainly not the only one there Willem and it actually outrages Bon Iver-fans a bit. :laugh: Gosh, on youtube people are argueing about it all over the place, who's version is so called 'better' and such. Personally I'd say it's a pointless discussion. The original was on guitar, by a male, key of C, swing time. Birdie's version was on a piano, by a female, key of E, straight feel. Couldn't be much different right?! In the end it's a matter of taste. However the original is just fun to play on guitar and the other is nice for piano, which i have taught to a lot of my piano-students. However it took me quite a while before I heard the original, although I did know Birdie's version was a cover of Bon Iver, but that was about it.
Many thanks Willem!

I really thought it was Birdy's song and love that one but who thought it was a cover, me not.

TGNessa,
Another cool song. I hadn't heard it til last week. rock!
I LOVE your playthrough. The open C tuning sounds great. I swear at a couple of points I was hearing another instrument, but I guess it was just the guitar singing a heap of extra frequencies.
Cool riffs, love the swing time, and your vocals always make me smile.
Thanks sweet Teach!

Hey my sweet biggest fan !!
Many many thanks for your sweet comment! It's a cool song indeed and not too hard. It had to grow on me I have to say, I'm not much a fan of his singing, but it did grab me at one point, since it's much fun to play and I really like swing time too. Glad you liked my vocals though, haha! :cheer:
And yeah, the guitar makes a lot of sounds I suppose, this week I'm in Open E-tuning, sounds great too!
Anyway, thank you very much Captain!
