Hey Gang,
Nesh has brought us another Phil Collins tune, That's Just The Way It Is.
‘That’s Just The Way It Is’ is a anti-war ballad by English singer-songwriter Phil Collins. It was released as a single in 1990 from his fourth solo studio album ‘…But Seriously’. (1989) It features David Crosby on background vocals.
This lesson teaches an arrangement in the key of D (Capo III) with the 6th string tuned down a whole step to D, Dropped D Tuning.
It breaks down the intro, which is the main theme throughout the song, in two different ways. It’s effective, sounds lovely and with a little practice it should be doable for most guitar players.
We of course take a look at both hands and go through the progression. The latter repeats itself often and is very straight forward.
