I dont play guitar, but i play uke. You're a fantastic teacher!

Thanks!!!!

I've just been looking for this classic soul song, and very useful lesson. Thank you so much

Well explained bravo Thanks👋

Absolutely brilliant! Now committed to learning this with your fine help.

I’ve wanted to play this song since I was a kid! Thank you!

I wish you would do a play through video and post tabs on screen.

2 words: Deal A Meal . . . cover song: Biz Markie Just a Friend The beat and hook come from Freddie Scott's 1968 tune “(You) Got What I Need”

What a great version Dave, thanks so much. Your playing is so smooth and accurate.

Gotta love this one . Thanks Dave. - you two sound great .

The best 'loosely' related guitar-related channel bar none !!

Por favor, hágalo fluido, no es necesario hablar tanto, solo muestre los acordes.

Ever great rock on !

Thank you for this. Your arrangement is perfect for a solo guitarist. Just what I have been looking for. I think I can get this with a little practice.

Killer lesson! I am 75 years old. I cannot tell you how much I have learned some of the classics that I love to play, and my audience loves hearing. Keep it up.

Great job explaining the chord structure. Thanks

Such a beautiful tune!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

Thanx Homeboy- ! I just stumbled on to your channel I searched "chord progression of poetry man" I arrange stuff on keys. u guys are lovely, I'll return. Boston strong 💪

Best foundation to learn music. I have to change chords I can’t finger at times.

Ben Orr and Ric Ocasek or Ric and Ben, were quite the pair. They seemed co-joined in an intriguing almost mysterious way as if they had something between them you didn’t have. Ben, with his amiable personality and rockstar good looks, was always the focus of any performance of the two of them or with the bands they fronted. If anyone had the goods to make it, Ben had it. Ric, with his lanky frame and face was their manager, promoter, leader and hanger-on. Hanger-on because he didn’t have any musical talent to speak of. He was a third rate singer at best. If they made it, it would be because of Ben’s musical talents, not Ric’s - that’s how it seemed…then. Ric had this slick, huckster like quality, which he brought to most of his interactions. They had some cred because of the Milkwood album. It was also clear they hadn’t gotten very far because of Milkwood. “I’ve been listening to Patti Smith. I can’t tell you what effect listening to her music has had on me!” Ric Ocasek told me over the phone back in 1977 or 78. I don’t specifically remember the year. He and I would talk occasionally after I returned to Vermont having failed in my efforts as a lead singer to get a recording contract, to front a popular drawing crowd band, to get noticed at all. I knew of Patti Smith. I hadn’t bought any of her albums, but I was tuned to the groundswell about her at that time. There was a seriousness and an openness in his voice I hadn’t heard before. He sounded genuinely moved. That was the last time I spoke to Ric. I joined a band called Zzebra. As lead singer of Zzebra, I, we, the world, started hearing about the Cars. Ric Ocasek and Ben Orr made it. They made it big. I still listen to their music quite regularly because I truly enjoy it, for what it represents: pop/rock music with a synthesized, digitized, forward leaning, art/rock, yet, rooted sensibility. Ric Ocasek found his voice …big time. Patti Smith and the punk/new age music explosion of the times freed him to express himself on his own terms. He doesn’t sound like Patti Smith (but if you knew him and how he sounded earlier you can understand how hearing Patti Smith opened up floodgates for him), he sounds like Ric Ocasek. I get goosebumps at times, recognizing he shared that with me. I’ve always acknowledged I never found my voice as a singer, as good of a vocalist as I might’ve been. Knowing someone who did find their voice the way Ric found his gives me a sense of satisfaction. As good of a vocalist and as charismatic of a personality Ben Orr was (he sang their number one signature song, “Just What I Needed,” and “Drive” - the ones that Ric wrote that needed Ben’s melodic good voice) he never matched his partner’s unique and singular sound and voice. As the far weaker singer, Ric became the dominant voice and icon of the group, despite his vocalist shortcomings. His vocal personality became the signature sound of the group. How far would the Cars have gotten with Ben as the sole voice, like Roger Daltry with the Who, we will never know.

Dave I dig it! You make it so easy to understand every lesson you give!! ❤️🤘🤘

Nice lesson Dave...

7/20/24 - guitar player here. 50 years (ouch!). I have seen tab and RUclips videos that are too simple. Your lesson here seems to be the best one I have found; one that matches what I hear when I listen to the song... intently! (of course). Thanks man.

I see a bloke called 'Dave', and its 'Dave's Guitar Channel'. I subscribe immediately.

Excellent I just tune in and see Roy wood top right 😂

Nice!

Great tutorial, thanks for this!

Great tutorial, thanks!

I start my day, every day, with a quick video guitar lesson (while visiting a certain room in the house) and this is a lesson I find myself coming back to all the time. Something so calming and easy about everything. I love the simple graphics in the corner. Excellent teaching. Not too fast.. not too slow...

Great work

Wow thank you very much sir! I can’t make out your finger placement and when I look up the chords they are not consistent with your fingerings. Any suggestions?
