How to play 'Man Like You' as performed by Tom Misch

One of my followers over on Instagram recommended the music of Tom Misch. I duly had a listen to his 2018 release “Geography”, and then fell deep into a neo soul guitar hole!

Not one of the neo soul cuts on the album, I particularly liked his version of Patrick Watson’s ‘Man Like You’. I liked it so much, I felt compelled to bring a lesson on it to my YouTube channel.

Both the original and Misch’s version use tenths (essentially thirds raised an octave). A beautiful sound that really grabbed me.

You can find the song lesson and a live performance by Tom Misch below. My TABs are also available on my Patreon page.
