Subject: RE: Chord Req:Little Green Valley by Fret Killer UTube
HiHo, now that you know that FK is playing in C ~ well, actually in D, since he's capoed at the second fret and playing key-of-C chord shapes ~ you should be able to learn a few new licks by watching him.

Actually, while he doesn't "give lessons" as explicitly as his fellow-headless-wonder DeltaBluesTips, Fretkillr's showing us exactly how he plays his songs. Not everyone will learn as quickly as others, and our singing abnilities may vary, but if you want to learn to play exactly what he's playing, he's giving us all the info required. Some plausing and rewinding will probably be required, but it's all there plain to see.

Note that he (like many of us) plays the G chord with left pinky on the high E string, so the changes from C to F to G/G7 require minimum movement and really facilitate those walking-bass runs from one chord to the next. (I'm assuming that anyone who wasn't able to recognize the chords in the video is not real familiar with intermediate/advanced playing in the key of C, and might not be wise to that fingering for the G major chord.)

Very nice song, by the way ~ I was not familiar with it before.
