Dave Grohl is one of my fave guitar players - very creative and often doesn't follow the usual 'rules' and chord shapes - which is what makes his guitar parts so interesting and melodic. I've been playing these Foo Fighter songs for a while - but can now appreciate them even more because I understand some of the clever chord work! Thanks for explaining!
As Dave often states in interviews: He is not musically trained, therefor he doesn't know "the rules"... He is noodling around and keeps what sounds good to his ears
I took basically what you said in this comment and I used it in my music course work as I am a huge fan of the foo fighters so nice one mate for the extra couple line ahha
Just recently ive been breaking down songs i love, so i could learn and see how theyre made that way i can try and make my own, i come across this amazing video, thank you so much for going into detail, i really appreciate it!!!
Times Like These sounds big because the root note is in unison like a drone. And notice that Best of You and other songs take advantage of open strings in the way that Praise and Worship music often does to make the acoustic guitar more anthemic and bigger. This is arena rock technique. Very cool.
One of your best lessons my friend! 3 great examples of what you can do to add so much flavor to your progressions, applied to music we already are familiar with! So we hear it in context. Higher note on the lower string . . . pedal points and skip the 3rd. BRILLIANT! : )
I'd note that, at least in Best of You, the vocal melody supplies the third note, for major keys (B and A) each time. The open guitar chords allow the melody to determine the key, without doubling up the third.
Thanks again for this video, really helpful. Could you pissibly do a video like but for the Smashing Pumpkins, they sound like theyre using some interesting chords/techniques?
I remember Dave said that he’s a Drummer so he looks at the guitar like a percussive instrument.. maybe that’s why he uses pedal notes .. no pun intended 😂

Progressions like the intro to "Lonely as you" are another interesting Grohlisms.
Grohlisms, I like that!

Excellent analyses of alternate ways of making familiar chords new
Just a brilliant video. Simple, clear, effective, well performed… BRAVO
Great channel, very flavorful topics as well, you’ve got really good taste
Thank you kindly!
Dave invisions song writing like he is on drums I heard him once say
That makes sense!
Thank you for this. So useful for learning.
Great analysis!
Impressive breakdown. Thx for sharing
Great content!
Awesome lesson

I have no idea what all this means but sounds good bro
Try any song from The Color and The Shape, especially Monkey Wrench & Everlong

Tuning is standard ? Or drop?
Standard!
