Second chord is an B (224442), Run is Fis (244322) D (xx0232) B (224442) Cis (224442) all chords relative to capo. Yusuf does not press the A and E string when playing barre chords just the lower 4 strings. And he lays his ring finger across the D, g and h strings when playing an A-type chord such as B, Cis, ect.... Btw, it's easier to tune down the guitar one step and play it in the key of G

suncatcher & downunder72 Thank you. I can understand, it's hard to see whether he uses a pick or not. That's why I was wondering all the time about the sound and was studying all available live videos - even in slow motion Btw. best to watch in the BBC '71 concert: For example when he plays "Maybe you're right" on the piano you can see he places a white pick on the right top of the piano. When he stands up to return to the guitar he takes it.

Concerning C.S. strumming technique and the position of his little finger I think it's simply just his (great) style. But his picking technique seems to be more interesting: Usually a guitarist learns to assign each melody string the accordant finger. He uses just the forefinger for all melody strings. Seeing and hearing that he was switching between picking and strumming within a song I was also sure he can't use a pick and was always wondering how he still could get this clear strumming sound (strumming with fingers sounds different). Studying same live performances then I found out that for the picking parts he is able to "hide" the pick (plectrum) between middle and ring finger meanwhile and is able to switch extremely fast between picking and strumming. When the pick is placed between middle and ring finger you can't use them for picking just the forefinger is "free". Btw. I saw Neil Young using the same technique. I tried to show this also in my youtube video-cover of "Peace Train" www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTdgqGz6Vco

Does anyone have any idea what the chord progression for "Bitter Blue" is. When watching two live performance I'm convinced there isn't a simple progression of G - C/G mid verse. That being said I've scoured the web and sheet music only to find simplified progressions. Any help would be mos appreciated. Trix

Hi! I did covers of most of Cat Stevens songs on youtube. I tried to play them as close as possible to the original, with awe and modesty to the originals and know, there is no way to beat them. Still these covers can maybe help you how to play these songs. I've also done some tutorials (they are not posted "in public"). Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
