    In this Tonight, Tonight guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all of the guitar chords to this hit by The Smashing Pumpkins off of their Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness album.
    You will need to tune your guitar down one half-step to (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) in order to follow along with this lesson and the original recording.
    When it comes to guitar chords, Billy Corgan keeps it pretty simple in "Tonight, Tonight". He uses only open chords throughout the entire song with just a couple of extra things thrown in. One of those things includes using the thumb to play a bass note on the low 6th string. This can be a difficult technique for some guitarists, but since it is used in so much rock music, it would be a worthwhile technique to master.
    One thing you can do to help facilitate that thumb move is to play the chord on top, in this case it is a D major chord, then simply bend the inside of wrist upward in the direction of your face. Just a little bit of bend will help your thumb stretch over the fretboard to play the 2nd fret on the low E string.
    With the relatively easy chords to deal with, one of the most challenge elements of playing "Tonight, Tonight" is the picking hand rhythm. It requires you to do a lot of quick 16th note bursts in many parts of the song. Because of that, you will want to keep a nice and relaxed picking hand wrist throughout the entire song.
    Another picking challenge is the arpeggio picked verse. The great thing here is that even though we have a nice challenge in the picking hand, the fret hand never has to play more than one single note. It makes for a cool hypnotic effect that is fun to play once you get it together.
    In any case, "Tonight, Tonight" is a great song and should be a welcome addition to any guitarist's repertoire. Have fun!

    Excellent teaching skills. Not too fast for beginners, not too slow for people who already know the tricks of the trade ;)

    It's been great fun coming back and reminding myself how to play this awesome song once again. Thanks Carl.

    I think something that every CZcams guitar instructor could do to better their videos is maybe highlight the fingers that are pressing down on the strings, it’s hard to tell if a finger is just hovering over a chord or actually pressing down sometimes

      @bubblerings Před rokem +2

      Usually just go back to the First time he shows it slowly.. It is all there on every video of Carl's I have ever watched.

    The pitch and every note You play in the chords sounds on point. I thought i had this song down but i knew something wasnt right in the intro and chorus and it's that strange g chord u play and the d chord with en Open high E . You have a great ear for music . Props to You man . You Should write your own music if You don't. I have never heard how to play Creed Songs You should do a vídeo on that.

    nice! this reminds me song "tonight the streets are ours" by Richard Hawley, its a nice song. could you possibly do a lesson? there are tabs but i always find tabs hard to understand

  • @N0die
    @N0die Před 4 lety +1

    I’ve always hated this E♭ tuning stuff, I’m thankful to find corrected to the key of G.
    the purpose of this E♭ thang had something to do w/ 90s digital recording issues, which to a degree still exist to this day, but everyone’s online so...
    the convenience of digital has habituated the ears of post gen-X ears essentially
    What you cannot post to Instagram is seemingly without much social clout anyways

    • @jbasti227
      @jbasti227 Před 4 lety

      But it sounds great for letting open strings ring out during chords. At the end of the day, it just comes down to personal preference.
