CHRIS CORNELL SONGBOOK PERFORMANCE VIDEO FULL

His voice, lyrics and songs were special and even though I never met him apart from a quick hello after an Audioslave gig in Wolverhampton he was by all accounts a lovely, warm and humble guy. I felt his music and his lyrics very deeply. I have also covered quite a few of his songs in various bands I have been in too and only a few weeks ago filmed a tutorial for his song ‘Hunger Strike’ which is going to be part of the updated Fingerpicking Classics course (along with some other awesome tunes) for all new and current members. I’m either teaching some of his acoustic songs (the infamous covers and originals) as well as his big rock numbers, or I’m playing some of those songs myself, listening to them in the car or just singing bits and pieces myself. I am surrounded by his music on a daily basis still. Not only was he my favourite singer but he has released many of my favourite albums of all time, been in some of my favourite bands, sang some of the best songs I’ve ever heard, been part of some of the best gigs I ever went to and was usually playing on a stereo somewhere during some of my favourite memories. I lived and breathed his music for so long I think we only get so many heroes in life and most of those are people we know in our circle of family and friends and occasionally someone we don’t know. With Chris Cornell, it’s different, very different. I’m just a pretty happy guy who gets on with things.

I didn’t really get it but as Sarah tells me I’m not overly emotional. When they died though, part of me found it strange how much emotion people felt for people they never knew. They were all loved by many – I included. Over the last few years, some amazing talents left us in a variety of ways. People such as: I felt pretty crushed as I am sure many of you did. On Thursday morning of last week, I got a text from my partner Sarah asking me if I had heard the news about Chris Cornell and if I was okay? The day the world lost one of its great musicians He was voted the 9th best singer of all time by Rolling Stone magazine he was that highly regarded.

Mesa Arts Center- Ikeda Theatreġ2/15- San Francisco, Calif.Chris Cornell was the soaring voice who was the soundtrack to the last half of my life.He had a voice that could break down a brick wall, or pull on your heart strings and often he could do it in the same line.He is one of a handful of guys who inspired me to become a musician and help set me down the path of where I am today.If I didn’t discover his music I might well have chosen a different career other than that of playing and teaching guitar.I don’t want this to be a gloomy post or anything full of conspiracy theories (although there is a curious one) but I want it to be inspiring and I also want to share with you what is one of the greatest cover songs ever and give you some tips and the chords to play it.Anyway, for those who don’t know him, many regarded Chris Cornell as one of the greatest singers and lyricists of his generation and many more also believed him to be one of the greatest ever.
