Wow, The best lesson for playing No Rain.
That Guitar is pretty sharp. I almost bought one like it. But I am just a beginner and just wanted somethiing that I could learn on and if I stick with it then the expensive guitar.

@MrRockmeister1 You are correct. This is actually E mixolydian mode (as I explain later in the video lesson).

MrRockmeister1August 9th, 2011 at 5:11 am

It seems to me that this song is resolving to E in spite of the fact that it is in the key of A. The 5th almost acts like the root. Neil Diamond used this kind of thing too.

you have a little fault.

Excellent! Thanks!

@puchitopiover2 As explained in the video, the notes and chords used in this song stem from the A major scale. That’s why you play A major scale patterns over it. But in this scale, it’s the fifth degree E functioning as the root. When a song revolves around the fifth degree in a major scale it’s called Mixolydian mode. I teach all this in my guitar theory books and DVDs.

puchitopiover2August 9th, 2011 at 11:38 am

Can you explain how you knew the song was in the key of E? I don’t understand how the song, being in the key of E allows you to play an Amaj scale. Sorry I am new to music theory.

Great videos and you’re a great teacher! I’m having a hard time playing Jimi H. songs because I have short fingers :s any tips/trick?

BCt0xiNAugust 9th, 2011 at 1:19 pm

you just have to -5 frets when you move it up a string, it’s just a matter of relearning it in the position you want

mialaw31August 9th, 2011 at 1:48 pm

Thanks very much, you are an excellent teacher. I am going to buy your book!

GuitarMusicTheoryTabAugust 9th, 2011 at 2:00 pm

YangusburgerAugust 9th, 2011 at 3:48 pm

Thats true

whaleinsmallbathtubAugust 9th, 2011 at 3:52 pm

it is, because its hard to slide on the frets that are on the flat.
