You. Are. The. Man.

Very cool - three years after I am still exploring your videos! The way you capoed up made sense. Cheers from NYC!

I can't help but giggle a little, the opening is reminiscent of (Listen to the) Flower People. :) Oh, and thanks for doing the "from scratch" lesson.

Never thought of using a capo. Makes the whole song complete! Thanks!

Cheers James Lovin' the Johnny Cougar! We had tickets to go see Spoken Word, but he ended up pulling out Still Spewin!

Great work! I was working on it a bit and I came up with the lead that starts after the first phrase. Still has a capo on 2nd Fret. it is all on the High E string and it goes something like this:(first note is either a dotted quarter note or a half note. the rest are quarter notes.)7 7,9,11,9,11,7

Nothin' Matters and What if it Did. A great album with a great name.

Thank you james. You have showed me alot of cool songs to play for a while now. You are the man. Thanks again.

love this song, great job! :)

Love this! Thanks to you my ability to hear chord changes on the fly has greatly improved. Your efforts are very much appreciated.

JCM has so many great tunes. Hard to pick my favorite but this could be it. Thanks for the lesson!

Thanks for showing how you worked this one out learning by ear.

Thanks for always helping me out 😊 keep up the great work 🎸✌

Thanks James

Love this style of lesson rock on 😎🎸

Thank you so so much James for this lesson I'm a new guitar player and you using that capo and the newer chords you used were pretty basic chords but it turned that song into something beautiful. When you first started playing it I didn't know what chords those were keep up the great work buddy I'm following you

Damn I love capos. Great lesson as always. 5 minutes and I pretty much have it. I like the Dsus2 versus a straight D and maybe that's what you were playing. Now to work on that Indiana gravel vocal.

Thanks for a great lesson. Makes good sense.

There u go brother ..

Larry Crane was a superb guitarist who you hear on the original!!!

good ear. Larry Crane was still in the band and Mike Wanchic is still with the him. John does some geetar as well. from the album " Nothing Matters And What If It Did"- home of the hit, "This Time". good lesson on how to listen, hear and capo if it works out. your enthusiasm makes a joy to watch and you laugh off oopses that we all make. cool stuff. ♫ Ü

jj your just amazing. wow

Excellent work thank you

Great tune Robert ferd franks was doing the great bass playing on this song. He still lives in the st Louis area and is a wonderful guy!! I met him not long ago. He is a very interesting person!

Nice job...AGAIN, Privetricker. Have watched and learned from many of your vid's. Thanks much and keep up the good work.

I Tune Down half step and play C/F to get that open sound... You can even pick that that riff the mando is playin... Check it

Dude you are so good

Nice job. Thank you sir.

Great lesson. Thanks for sharing

Nice job dude

JJ, what a great song choice (most are). For fun, people should check out Johnny Cougar's (John Mellencamp's)1981 live vid on YT with the background guys in pink tuxedos. BTW, I have this on 45 rpm if you can believe that. Also, I just re-watched your final PT vid and have to say that your humor and intuitive approach (versus textbook) to playing and learning is what keeps me coming back - although this is my first comment on either channel. That has been the backbone of my approach for over 50 years. Cheers and Happy New Year............. Frank

First song of his I ever attempted. Most of his music is not complicated, but that doesn't mean it isn't great.

Bsus???

The band is actually playing the song in this video and you can see the capo at the 2nd fret on the silver Les Paul played by Larry Crane.kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqieksdrYZCZaJc.html
