The Doobie Brothers Listen to the Music by dtaylor

Hey Dean,

This is another great by the Doobies with a tough strumming pattern (for me at least). You ready to try Long Train Running?

Scott

Another winner, Dean!

You have great rhythm and control of the strumming.

I'm off to check out the lesson...

[dennisg]

Great job with a tough song, Dean. Like Al, I'm off to scope out the lesson.

That is really good on a tough song. I only wish the fingering would work as well in the key of A (where I sing it), so it would sound "spot on" instead of just "close".
Or maybe just sing it an octave lower to your accompaniment (C ? )
Anyway, great job on this!

Jerry

Dave, Bob, many thanks.
Marc, thanks for the tip. Tom, it's a great one to practice but what a tune as well.
MJ, I would dearly love to be able to sing it, Tom Johnston I ain't!
Scott, can't really do the double barred A shape, but it's another iconic hook that I'd love to master one day.
Al, Dennis, glad to remind you of another great lesson. Al, if anyone can sing it it's you... or Jerry it'd be good to hear you?
Willem, it's one of those songs that can't help but brighten your day when you hear it, to be able to play it, well that's a bonus!

I checked out the lesson.. and I'm even more impressed by your strumming and timing.
This is one I'll need to work on for a long time.

Thanks Al, it's a beauty of a lesson, just a few chords with a HO PO combo, but so much to learn from it. Cheers again.

Cheers G, it's a good workout for both hands. Don't think I could keep it going for 3 verses!
