Hi Everyone, I realize this John Hughey intro has been done so much, but I'm going to post it anyway because I think have cracked the code on how to do it properly! I was going through all of my videos to update them with the soundslice tab player for my site and was noticing how horrible my version sounded to me, and I think I figured out why. Also, I just couldn't just leave that up there! So, I redid it. I thought that the 2nd measure where he drops down from a Bb to Bb79 was using an open 6th string to get the Ab, which I believe he is using that note in the voicing but not in that way. I watched a Travis Toy video where he does a version of Rose Colored Glasses and saw how he was doing the b79 chord voicings and then figured out a better way, using Travis's way of voicing. Many of you probably knew this already, but it took me like 3 years. Who knows what I'll think of it another 3! Regardless this b79 chord voicing is super cool and you can use it in a lot of stuff, it worth learning and this video show you how. Anyway, I wanted to let you know I updated the video and tab and it's there for you to enjoy! Here are the links to both the intro and solo, both have backing tracks and tab: Intro: https://jeffsguitarandsteel.com/lessons/song/john-hughey-look-at-us-intro/1680 Solo: https://jeffsguitarandsteel.com/lessons/song/john-hughey-look-at-us-solo/1681 I hope everyone is having a super summer!
