We're gonna take a look in this lesson at a old traditional folk song that probably goes back to England
I'm guessing or at least derived from English songs because it has a lot of
Stylings of English folk ballads called Peggy.
Oh now
There are a lot of versions of this around a lot of people do it everybody puts their own take on it
It showed up on Bob Dylan's first album in a kind of frantic manner
Simon and Garfunkel did it in their early days and in a kind of bouncy happy go lucky manner and
The Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia also did versions of it where with different feels a little bit spacier spookier
Melancholy kind of feel so we're gonna talk about Jerry's version mostly [Ab] with a couple of different accompaniment patterns
We'll talk about doing it in cut [G] time
[Am]
that kind [C] of feel
[D] Let's go also play that as a finger-picking [G] version
[Am]
[C] [G] And so you'll see live versions out there of Jerry playing this with more of that kind of feel
But the first I'm really gonna base it on is the one from the Grateful Dead album go to heaven now
This was it was an [N] outtake.
So you got to get the the remastered repackaged reproduced
Version that includes the outtake of it.
I'm sure you can find it on YouTube but
The reason that I'm I haven't played it for you yet is because we're gonna do this as an ear training lesson to for you
to figure out the chords partly by numbers and
So I'm gonna play it a few different keys at different times, too
I'm not gonna sing it in the key Jerry does just I'm probably saying it
I'm even gonna try saying it
We'll get to that as we go on
but what I want you to do first is listen to the Grateful Dead studio version from go to heaven and
Get a feel first for the phrasing of the lines
How many measures do you hear when do you hear it come back to chord one figure out what chord one is?
There's a great clue with the first four notes
You hear a little bass run that leads you up to note one of the tonic chord the key
It's in so we get to all of that
I want you to listen to that first before you watch the next next segment where I'll play through some of it you can hear
It with a little less
Adornment and accompaniment and things like that.
So that's your assignment.
Don't print up the page yet.
Hopefully
Go listen to it and see what you can come up with pay attention to the phrasing of the lines first
We expect to hear in a song like take me home country roads
Four measures to a line and four lines to a section and stuff like that
Not the case with this song so get an idea for where the chords change and what the chords are in the key
It doesn't use any chords outside of the key
So we really have it limited to the six chords that would be in whatever key we decide to play it in
And that's of course where one four and five will be major two three and six will be minor if we're playing in the key
Of D that would give us D
Two would be a minor three would be F sharp minor four would be G
Five would be a and six would be B minor
Seven would be C sharp diminished not gonna happen.
So
That's it for the hints on Peggy Oh
Go listen to it first and then come back and listen to me play it with the left and dig up the music stand and block
Out the hands here.
So coming up some cool stuff on Peggy.
Oh, that was the first part of a lesson
And what we did the whole lesson is based on ear training and trying to figure out chord progressions
we run through it in a few different keys and also talk about playing in [C] cut time [G]
[Am] [Em] and
[F] counting half notes
[C] one [G] two one two
[C] And then also mixing up the measures
Where if you have two measures of a [N] chord, it's good to have the first measure accent the half notes
I'm playing a C chord [C] now one two meaning don't play the second quarter note
[Eb] But my hands moving at the [C] speed of quarter notes if I count the quarter to be one two, three, four one two
Alternating that type of strumming pattern
With a busier one
Which would work great for a second [N] measure of the same chord
So if I was gonna go from C two measures of C to two measures of G, I would do something [C] like this
[G]
[D] Maybe it is me
In the first [N] measure of each of those pairs of measures
I accented the first and second half notes or the first and third quarter notes and
Then in the second measure had more stuff in there to make it busier
So it's one of the things that I addressed in this lesson
Now this lesson is up at totally guitars, of course as part of the target program also available as an individual purchase
We also have a lot of free lessons there.
There's like over 500 of the target lessons though now
I believe so it's quite a quite a value if you want to check it out
But the the point of this lesson was really to dial in some ideas about ear training
We talked about listening to the phrasing first
Figuring out where chords change before you even worry about what they are know where the changes happen
So it's one of the techniques or styles of lessons
I've put together every once in a while and people get a lot out of them because ear training is really really important the more
You can learn to figure out by yourself
The more you can learn by yourself without having to wait for your teacher to to help you out with it So anyway
If you'd like to check it out or any of the other?
