I love this song

Yep… came to you to re-learn after hearing the news today….would like to learn “Laughing “….the tuning is crazy but it’s a real gem… the man put forth so much….

I can't possibly thank you enough for all your awesome lessons. You have turned me into a living room rock star.

Very cool! Well done, Thanks James!

Love the Black Falcon! My Dad gave me an original 55 White Falcon in 78... John Entwistle offered me 20k fir it 2 weeks before he died!

We added a Hamond B3 buddy to the group when clubs started to open in the area loved doing CSNY back then

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, understanding and passion. 1st timer, I will be back. BEST AND PEACE

Me and a buddy use to trade guitar parts back in the day cords are spot on James we'd entertain the teenage night time parking lot dwellers 😆 highschool days now remember I'm 70 now there really weren't many clubs back then back

I’ve been in love w/ falcons since I first saw them...the bow wow wow video with Matt Ashton playing his white falcon to “I want candy “ ...he could play too it wasn’t for show...the instrument is deserving of its legendary status IMO

Agreed. That Bow Wow Wow video turned me onto Falcons. It looked absolutely massive on Matt Ashton, which was so cool, like he tamed this huge beast. And then there was Annabella...

Anabella ❤️❤️🔥 The band was built around this beauty...the bass player was a very good flat picking bass player with a real percussive feel and the drummer slammed away with the “baramundi “ drum style...so described by Malcolm McClaren lol ...there is a similarity with Adam Ants sound and legend has it that bow wow wow were Adam Ants band before Malcom snatched them n started Bow wow....interestingly enuff...Marco Pironi of the Ants plays a beautiful falcon in Ant videos...and he bought it off Brian Setzer (who uses that falcon in the stray cat strut video) ...Brian tried to buy it back from Marco but allegedly Marco did not want to part with it for sentimental reasons...hey it was Adam n the Ants n they shook up the scene just like the Stray Cats...great story n legacy for the Gretch lovers out there- ....and James don’t forget to look at Duo Jets...Billy Zoom cmon now!

The Falcons are lovely. I’m keen on a lot Gretsch has to offer - that Great G sound (so much ‘air’in the notes!), the control layout (I’m keen on the master volume, and the tone switch), the thumbnail markers give the fretboard a classy look, they’re well put together, and I just feel great holding one!

Thx. I never made any headway figuring this out. One of my favourite songs by them.

I like how you reference David Cosby very helpful I heard song got to learn. So great 👍

Great job! You explained it and demonstrated it well.

Thank you. You are a very good teacher.

Thanks buddy hope your health stays strong.

Thanks, James, another great lesson- really appreciate your posts!

deja vu was number one for me for a long time. used to put the album on every morning for a long period of time after I got out of the army. got my head out of the killing zone.

Awesome, I've always loved this tune. Now I can bust it out on a couple of buddies and watch there faces fall off! Thank you once again 2 J's! 🐉💀👽🎸🎼🎵🎶🧠

That is about as groovy as it gets. Thanks!

Great breakdown of Crosby's inventive voicings! Playing around with this progression kept me occupied all afternoon--thanks!

The best teacher.

Just great tune and good interpretentantion of it. This song is pure classic and psychedelic.

Thanks!

This is so right on time!! I was trying to figure out this song a couple of days ago. Thank You 🙏 JJ !! ☮️❤️☮️

Love CSN+Y , Wooden Ships ! Awesome job young man !

Such a great song ! Thanks, Great keyboards and a bass that is all over you... It was a great collaboration and you got it .

Some of this comes from striving to reach emotions defined in these tracks. I'm fortunate to have found your channel. Thanks

Thank you sir!

Thank you! Great song

Very nice, much appreciated.

Very helpful! thank you!

Thanks. A friend of mine used to play this song , a bit differently, but I could never get close. Until now. As I heard it, Crosby wrote the music. Paul Kantner and Stephen Stills wrote the lyrics. The Jefferson Airplane do a good version

The sci-fi / apocalyptic vision seems to me so much more like Kantner than Crosby, no disrespect at all to Crosby. In fact, he gave Kantner his Have You Seen the Stars Tonight for Kantners masterpiece Blow Against the Empire. Agree, Airplane version is better with 3 great vocalists IMHO

Watching you now, I F dig it brother.

Your like an old friend I have never met. Good stuff J.J

Listen to the OR (ca 68-69) or even 2005 remaster - the warm tones starting ~32-34 seconds in are amazing. And even more fascinating is Jorma's work on the JA version.

Good lesson. David Crosby chord changes for sure. I have a Gretsch also... good choice for that song.

You still seem healthy and well.thank god. Give us an update on your health if you want to.thanks.

Great lesson, beautiful guitar!

it seems like you are always giving lessons on songs that I'm too lazy to relearn. I know you intend this as a lesson but this lazy guy thanks you profusely. enjoy the day.

Thank you. Sounds great! Wish I could get the same sound. I really like Stills' bass line. And I like the Airplane's version, too.

Sounds Great

Wonderful teaching skills! Thank you

Bravo! YT needs more tutorials like this - and less zombie chord/campfire versions of great songs.

Thanks a lot. I always thought they used a weird tuning I didn’t know on this which is why I could never work it out. Now I know! 👍

Purple berries are not silly! There Fantastic Maaaaaan

Hey can I have some of your purple berries? What a song!

Must be good! 1st advert 1 min in!!

really nice job, man. thanks a lot for posting this.

Love it!!!

I enjoy your lessons a lot-thank you! You just seem to have an easy way about you, like you left your ego at the door. Anyway I hope to keep hearing more of those " Hey Yall's" in the future LOL :-)

I agree this a terrific lesson genuinely thank you especially since this is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands... I might have a man crush on Stephen Stills😮

Oh, and thanks by the way, fantastic, will giving this a go!!

Too daggum cool, thanks!

Say ! Can I Have Some Of Your Purple Berries ?!?

Love the lesson. You know it doesn't sound like you have a terrible voice. I'm sure you must sing to your wife or have at one time or another.

Thanks man!

interesting thing is you're playing that E5 then that formation before the a is the E7 with the G# in the bass sounds cool. Oh yea, you can get that upwards motion from the G# - A - B in the bass if you dont play that g

Awesome lesson. Are Stills and Nash playing the same chord voicings or more standard open or barre chords? Or are these Stills' voicings? Probably.

8 Miles High is one weird song

That’s through a Peavey Classic 50. But I think the Gretsch has a lot to do with the tone. I could use the same amount of settings with a Les Paul or a Strat and it wouldn’t sound anything like this.
