Hi Everyone,
We have a new Target and Pay Per Lesson release for you, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart by the Bee Gees!
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart is a ballad released by the Bee Gees in 1971. It appears on their album
‘Trafalgar’ and was their first US No. 1 single.
This lesson shows primarily how to play the song in the key of D, using Open D-Tuning, like Barry Gibb does.
It includes segments showing the chords in standard and Dropped D-Tuning as well.
Additionally, we also take a look at Al Green’s popular version in the key of E, using a common picking pattern
in 12/8. The latter could be done both with fingers as well as with a pick.
Enjoy this level 4 lesson!

TGNess,
I finally got the time to sit down and look at your offering here. WOW! Teacher Ness strikes again! SO many choices! I suspect the hardest part of learning this song will be deciding which tuning and which style to use.
Nice one Ness. The Bee Gees is always an excellent choice.
Thanks Teach.

One of the most talented groups ever! The Bee Gees have written songs for a lot of the top artists. Sadly only Barry left now. Pretty much the end of an era...... gotta love the Bee Gees!
A comprehensive lesson Vanessa, above and beyond.

:laugh: You're right, the hardest choice is which tuning/style to use. :laugh: I tend to wanna go the Bee Gees-version. Like Tom says, you just gotta love them. Admittedly, Open D sounds fantastic, but a little too much work when the guitar is in standard tuning in general. So I'd go for the latter obviously. Still i love to be able to play in other tunings as well. By now i got a nice handle on Open D, after covering several Bee Gees' songs.
You as a fingerpicker , i suspect you might like to try out Al Green's version, which is obviously a great one as well. Different, but surely beautiful I'd say.
Many thanks Shel, glad you like some more Bee Gees! B) :cheer:

Very pleased with your vote too Tom!
I agree with everything you say. I've always loved the Bee Gees. You just gotta .
It's incredibly sad that only brother is alive ....Barry still has his older sister though.
