I use a capo on the 4th fret when playing this song. I asked my friend “is this cheating?” His reply “playing the guitar isn’t a competition.”

I would say he's right :) // Guillaume
slow dancing is the easiest song to learn bc it has only 4 chords, but also the hardest to get right

yeah for sure man. that's pretty typical for most blues as well. Santana songs are kinda similar in that sense. Nailing the accents, timing, and bend intonation is what makes simple blues songs extremely difficult to master.

watching you talking all throughout the video instead of actually playing it is so great. loved it
on sent toute la pression qui pèse sur toi avec le gros soupir avant d'entamer ce monument de la guitare moderne. Super vidéo Guillaume !
I get the feeling that you were slightly nervous about this one! Haha You did very well man, the tone is great and probably the closest I've heard

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses this series is one of the main inspiring series that got me interested in playing guitar.
Assurément, le son est très proche de l’original ! Et le jeu est parfait , bravo ! Tout l’album est formidable mais cette chanson est magique !
I have to admit that watching you talking for so long instead of playing is... great, I enjoyed it , I can see how much you love what you do! Keep it going, so far this song is waaay too difficult for me but one day, one day...
Literally last night before I fell asleep I looked up how to play this song what a coincidence y’all came out with this today

Just recently bought a new fender American pro tele. Took me hours to decide on an American strat or tele. Even played a G&L legacy that I think was better than the strat and 500 bucks. American strat next on the list. All that being said middle position in the tele sounds sweet for this song
I love that vintage radio, stereo, turntable thingy!

Hell yeah G! 30 more please.
Do I dont trust myself (with loving you)! Great tone btw!
That feeling when you finally learned how to play every barre chord from CAGED and now you need to relearn everything with thumb up :v That's fine - said doggo with a mug
Well done with the timeline chapters, well done.
Bien joué Guillaume, on est vraiment très proche du son original, beau travail 😊👌

Awesome job Guillaume -and very brave of you to go after this specific song. It is so revered that it is almost impossible to please everyone’s ears and opinions on it....I’ll be very happy if I could come as close as you do, both in tone and feel. Keep up the great job👊🏻

Cemetery Gates by Pantera would be amazing
Sounded good! 😎👍

Late to the show on this video and probably won't get a response but... do you think that this can be played on a Fender Players Strat? (I know physically it can but can the same tone be reached?)

Nvm, saw the suggestion on the website. Thank you!
nice video.....subbed
A Jan Ray clone (clone of a clone) and a Tumnus gets me close (both set like 9 o’clock gain and volume to taste). EQ after ODs mid scooped (I really think this scoop is necessary to get a fender to sound close to JMs tone - makes it clearer and less muddy). Single delay (so short it doesn’t really matter what you pay for it). I’m through a Princeton w/12” canabis Rex. Tone is like 40%. The rest is hard work and your wife telling you, “that song again?” My favorite song to play, no lie. Good luck!
