Song Link: • Labi Siffre - I Got Th...
That was cool, kinda funky, reminds me of a song by I can't put my finger on it. This song for me is a 4.0. Good Choice.
In keeping with Pete's theoretical essay on music and sharing knowledge. I was thinking about how to open up the fretboard for guitar players. I don't know how far along Manny is with understanding the fretboard but maybe this will help his understanding the guitar better. Bare in mind, I'm self taught and this is my perception and view of the fretboard. I'm sure there will be people that see it differently.
How well do you know the fretboard?
Back in the day, one problem I had was soloing within a chord progression, like the pros do it. I was content to just solo in the key. But I found that boring and my playing really didn't sound great, just ok. I heard of the C.A.G.E.D system and triads but never really dove into it. Until one day my buddy stated, it really isn't that complicated. All the caged system is the 5 pentatonic positions for each open chord shape, C, A, G, E, D... hence the word CAGED.
Example: The pentatonic scale in the first position, which everyone who plays guitar knows, is based on the G open chord shape. So if I was playing in the Key of C or Am, that pentatonic position 1 would start on the 5th fret A. This is my G shape pentatonic in A, playing in the key of C or Am. On either side of my first position pentatonic is my chord shape A pentatonic and chord shape E pentatonic. Thus far you have three positions of the pentatonic based on the chord shapes of A,G, and E. If I move past the E chord shape Pentatonic you get the D chord shaped pentatonic and before the A shaped pentatonic you have the C shape. Therefore, the pattern will always be the same in that order spelling CAGED. I know it sounds long winded but this is a huge aspect of of paying rhythm and lead at the same time.
The other aspect is knowing your triads and movable chords. The movable one's you should know most already, but the triads in conjunction with the CAGED system and movable chords will take you to a new level of guitar playing.
Example: In the E shaped pentatonic on the bottom strings (GBE), you have a shape that looks like a house and consists of 5 notes. Everyone knows this shape. Would you believe there are 3 triads/chords just in the little box of 5 notes. You have the 1st (key/tonic), the 4th and the relative minor. I suggest learning the triads shapes on the GBE strings first. You already know two of them, the D and Dm. This information will take time to process and it will frustrate you in the beginning but stick with it and before you know it you'll see the fretboard differently. Once you know the shapes of the triads, use them in conjunction with the movable chords and CAGED system in a chord progression and solo in between chords.
My suggestion is to start with a simple chord progress like C, G, Am, F. Play the chord and use the CAGED system to do a mini riff to advance to the next chord. Try and stay in the same area you are playing. Example, start with the open chords once around the progression, then move to the bar chords and triads as you move down the fretboard. This was my eureka moment that opened up the fretboard, hopefully it works for you.
Wow Dukes. I'll be honest and say I understand none of it (esp. since I'm no guitarist), but it was a very interesting read about the "CAGED" system. Appreciate you sharing that.

@@jpmp1201 I wrote it mostly for Manny, and I'm sure he understood most of it. Like I said, I don't know how far along he advanced on the guitar, before he stopped playing but if he loves playing, unlocking the fretboard is huge. On a separate note, Justin, you used to play bass, so everything I said applies to you as well, if you ever decide to pick up the bass again.
Jay producers sampled it on ,"streets is watching"
DukesRocks lol PEOPLEEEE!!!!
Nobody seems to notice it’s the Dr dre sample for « my name is » by Eminem.
eminem
One of the most sampled songs in hip hop. It achieved legendary status a long long time ago. Siffre has made a lot of memorable records and is kind of underrated if you ask me.
Who, besides Eminem?
The guy at the right look like a young Labi Siffre
mikatteba225 he really does
Yeah I did a double take.
Lolll exactly why I clicked on it aha
No shit.. And what's my name
& he doesn't even see it. Life's funny that way. Here here, same here guys
Better Call Saul ✌️
This is the kind of discovery which makes you realize how much great and necessary music is out there. 4.8
Right? I've never even heard of him before this, but he sounds...essential.
-JP
The best bit is that Chas and Dave (the cockney duo) played guitar and bass on this
Eminem sampled Chas and Dave. Brilliant.
Came here because this is my favorite song and no one I know enjoys this kind of music, so I had to watch someone enjoy it with me :’) gives me chills every listen.
Same. Music from pre 2000 was different. Makes me nostalgic.
That makes 3 of us
First half is used in JayZ's 'Streets Are Watching'. Oh and 'Bless the Telephone' is a beautiful song by Siffre.
Really like Labbi Siffre. He did some songs that became quite iconic over here in the UK. It Must Be Love from the beginning of his career that was also a big hit for a group called Madness and then Something Inside So Strong that became an Anti Apartheid anthem.
And Chas n Dave played on this track...
Labi Siffre’s music is so Iconic here in his native UK. This has to one of his most iconic songs.
I was looking for hip-hop samples and discovered Eminem sampled this. When I discovered it a few months ago, I nearly had a cardiac arrest! It's unreal. Goosebumps every time!
Dr. Dre samples it*
Guy on the right needs more ice. His drink could have sank the titanic
There is no such thing as too much ice in a chilled drink made at home.
Any DJ who plays this during their sets, is going to get massive love. Thank you, CZcams.
What’s great about this song that some might not know is the Guitarist and Bass players are Chas and Dave which might not mean a lot to Americans but you’d be hard pressed to find a cockney who doesn’t know those names and the fact that they are involved in the making of this song in both performance and writing is awesome
I grew up listening to my mums copy of this Album in the 70s/80s, the whole album, Remember My Song, is just brilliant.. I still have mums original and still play it regularly..
"99% of my life ive been lied to, i just found out dre got his beats from a labi siffre vinyl"
Great choice, guys ! If you want hear another funky songs from Labi Siffre, you have to try "The Vulture" and "Doctor Doctor" (sampled by Le Peuple De L'Herbe in 2012) absolutely. Bonjour from France !
This music sounds like something strait from a spy movie. I love it.
What also funny is dude on the right (drinking red vodka) kinnnnnda resembles the singer...i was like...Black sure dont crack...lol
Now look at more things from Chas and Dave who are the core musician duo driving that sound on this track...
🙏
It still blows my mind that the guys who made those fun cockney songs could lay down such killer grooves on tracks like this.
@@daved2352 Let me (potentially) blow your mind more: The reason they did those other type of songs is because they believed British folk music was moribund and no longer a truly living genre and needed to be. Those songs are all attempts to make contemporary (for the time) songs that reflected the voice of the British working class, sort of like how Country is a still viable genre in the US.
Chas and Dave might be two of the most musically and creatively brilliant artists of the 20th century, despite how weird it is to write that. 😀
1975?? Wild. I've been getting into some jazz/soul lately, this is great
Nice!
I just heard this song for the first time 10 mins ago and I’m still in shock
so good...its funny seeing your faces....i still get shivers up my spine when I hear this....they just dont make tracks like this anymore
Found your channel after discovering this gem myself recently. I've been diving into 60's and 70's music and I'm loving every minute of it. It's made me realise that a lot of the music I really enjoyed during my childhood in the 90's has it's origin in those early years. I was very much into hiphop back then and the samples are all coming back in their original form. I'm surprised you guys didn't get the Eminem/Dre link, but then again I don't know your musical history. Anyway, fun channel! Really enjoyed it and if you guys don't know it yet listen to Cissy Strut by The Meters!
Watched this on your channel when you first put it out but come back every few months, love Lavin Siffre and love your reaction to this great song. Such varied music in his back catalogue! Siffre is a great man, his words have changed attitudes. What a thing to achieve!
Eminem's song "My Name Is" uses a sample from this song
It's nice how the song provides a 'surprise' half way through. Another song the has a 'surprise half way through' is Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain', perhaps worth a try?
Perhaps perhaps!
RE: The Chain - that will depend on whether they know Formula One or not... ;O)
The originals are almost always uncomparingly better, they are the real thing. And the originals usually have a sign of proper quality - violins.
1975 was great time for rare groove
As an added surprise for any brits watching this - keyboards and bass on this were played by the cockney rockers chas and dave
Guys the 70's was explosive for music and genre crossover. This is funny, because whoever is familiar with the 70's they won't be so shocked :)
Very nice song. Can't say I've heard of this man. But yes it's timeless. I also thought Shaft.
4.2
you may have heard something inside so strong by him or the song it must be love that madness covered with his permission, he is in the music video too
@@jasminejo2424 thanks. Neither one was familiar but the second one by madness had a slight Beatles sound to it.
I love this track so come back and watch your reaction quite a bit but I’m now wondering that the light you have is that changes to the music, desperate to get one myself! Any response much appreciated!
Limitations breed creativity.
I don't know why I'm watching reaction videos lately, but I'm really enjoying your banter and song selection. And thanks for turning me on to this album! I'd swear that the 3rd section is what Eminem sampled for "My Name Is": maybe that's why you think it sounds "modern".
I think you guys would really enjoy another rarity: "White Bird" by the band It's A Beautiful Day. Give it a shot!
4:47.
I’m 28. Not very musically talented. Decided to find the origins of Ye’s “I wonder”. Came across Labiwhile searching lol! I love music!!
I love this song and really enjoyed your appreciation of it. I was listening again to it through your ears and learning from your understanding of it. Thank you.
How do I go about suggesting something for you to listen to?
"If I shoot you I'm brainless
You shoot me you're famous"
Jay Z "Streetz Is Watchin"
First part of "I Got The..."
Love this guys singing love the band liked songs of the lotto horns and percussion hey is this butter butter
SO smooth!
-JP
Yo just found this channel and you guys are sick, I fuckin love this shit
My Song is also great by Labi Siffre
That was the same exact reaction I had when I found this song. I saw the documentary about Em meeting Dre for the first time and a piece of this song is in his sample and I was like “I HAVE TO FIND IT”
there is no point trying to predict how music will be regarded in the future. In the 80s I liked metal , and hated most pop music , but have nostalgia for it now because it reminds me of my youth. I only stumbled upon Labi siffre because I liked his cover of it must be love by Madness. I did not know it was them who covered it and he wrote it, nor did i realise he is English ,and had a huge influence on rap and hiphop .
So good 4.8. 😎😎👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻🍻🍻
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that the dude on the right is a spitting image of Labi Siffre?
The first time i heard it. without context was in a coffeeshop in Amsterdam and i thought which Jamiroquai song is this?
4:46
Since you liked this, check out Now That We Found Love and by The O'Jays, and Love and Affection by Joan Armatrading for variants on the soul/funk with an orchestra idea.
Also, I feel I should kinda do a breakdown on this, given the shout-out. Maybe tomorrow.
You gotta stretch before breaking it down :D Thanks Pete!
-JP
I want that dude's shirt, with the red fish
Chas and Dave on backing vocals and bass guitar
Dr Dre Is a genius sampler...check the song he sampled for G Thang, homie made millions off loops!
Can you do Quietdrive-Afterall please?
Steely Dan - Night by Night if you like aggressive horn arrangements and blues/funk
Labi Siffre, this fly muthafukka SUBVERTED ALL YO EXPECTATIONS!!!!
I enjoyed these two minorities listening to music. Seriously though, I loved the whole video.
Oh yeah this is SO 1975.
Never heard this before, but this is fantastic; totally of its time and, because of where music is today (as you discussed), timeless.
Recommended: Stone Soul Picnic by Laura Nyro. Predates this song by five years, but there is such a direct line between these two.
Great find, guys! Keep up the great discussion.
The guy on the right actual looks related to Labi in the thumbnail. Its y I decided to click. This is one of my all time favorite songs
I'm stealing Absomazingly. So this is where Eminem got the sample? I heard it on Better Call Saul S05E08: Bagman, the desert scene.
The guy on the left's face when the second passage started.
Hi! My name is...
Aye. Please do a reaction on Beneath Me, by Lucid Planet. Trust me, you guys are gonna be in for a treat.
I wanted to like this song more than I did. The second half just dragged on a little too long for my taste. (3.8) Thanks for playing a few more samples of Labi's music, too, I'm impressed by his diversity. How did you find this song, anyway? When you mention where and how you find songs on your videos, I will search those places on my own, too; places like Reddit, Spotify, Rate My Music, etc. When you call out certain followers, too, I start paying more attention to their posts and recommendations. I didn't hear any of that info on this vid.
Totally forgot to mention! He popped up on my CZcams recommendations after listening to some Marvin Gaye.
-JP
you guys might want to react to Sokoninaru - complicated system or basically anything from Sokoninaru
Do “Poppa Was A Rolling Stone” by the Temptations. That’s if you haven’t done it already.
I give this one a 4.8
Big dutty riddim
I know it's going to be a great day when I hear another 5
Also, Eminem samples this song in 'My Name Is'.
A great way to start the day :D
And Dr. Dre too.
And jay z too
Hi my name is!!!
Hi... My name is... What...my name is...
Están bien mecos carnales
La neta :v
Prog Funk Yall !!!
Mp resembles labi 😂😂
Better Call Saul
starbucks coffee is like drinking liquid faeces

Justin looks like Siffre
Em In Em is overrrrrrated
Wait till they Google Chas & Dave !!!
Compare Siffre's My Song to Carole King's So Far Away.
Hi, my name is...
I always wondered if Eminem ever paid or even gave credit to Labi Siffre.....czcams.com/video/sNPnbI1arSE/video.html
Reminds me of Maroon 5 with more instrument
React to this is my song by Labi Siffre
Justin looks like he could be related to Labi Siffre.
Why are you surprised this is 1975? Because it sounds like modern music?
We just gonna ignore the fact that dude looks just like labi siffre?
Hi this is it an amazing song. 4.8 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😎.
It's just a 4 part band
MORE THE STROKES
You know Eminem used this right? 🙊
Great song, 4.5. Funk meets jazz meets progressive rock. Timeless but not popular in its time (didn’t fit into a box). Back in the day the music you listened to formed a lot of your identity. The clothes you wore, your hairstyle, your political views, the safety pin 🧷 through your cheek. Music as a lifestyle and a battleground. Hundreds of English kids died in fights between Mods and Rockers in the 60’s. Point being...music imho is not as important now as it was then, not as tied into the everyday fabric of our lives, for better or worse.
I agree to an extent. Its not as interwoven into the mainstream as it may have used to be because of the digital age as well as more technological distractions. Before you would express yourself and your frustrations through music, now you can just do it in a twitter post.

Polyphia
cherries ARE NOT BERRIES.
THEY ARE STONE FRUITS.
Howwwwww could you admit to not knowing who he is???????????
The violin solo in the end makes me think of the sonic games. And comparing Michael Buble to this isnt good. You're comparing him basically with a coverband. Thats what i see Michael Buble do al the time. Even Eddie Murphy with party all the time is more original.
Can't believe you ain't dancin (for real, not posing)---- I can't keep it in when this one or i dont know what happened to the kids today -that ending...
Pronounced La-Bee Se-Free
Someone may cry "Racist" on me. But I have to say it... Justin looks eerily similar to Labi.
