Thanks SO much for putting so much effort into a somewhat obscure bit of music. I've loved this song for years and always thought the solo was out of my grasp, but thanks to you I've nailed it in one (very dedicated) afternoon. You're awesome.
Aw man that's awesome, really glad to hear it! There are some trick runs, but other than that it's not too tough a solo. Hope you have fun jamming this one out 🤘
I've always loved this song and longed to know how to play this incredible solo. I've now cracked it if i play it slowly. You have totally made my week! Thank you brilliant lesson.
Brilliant stuff, as others have said I remember this song as a kid back in the 70's and it still makes the hairs stand up. Thanks for taking the time to get the solo down like this, I might finally now be able to master it with a bit of time, its an up-beat foot stomper that really does make you smile. Cheers
Brilliant. As others have said, you really take the time to explain the phrases, groupings of notes, which is key to the solo. I'll give it my best shot. Would really love to get fluent at this.
Dang! I've been playing that solo wrong for a long time now. Re-learning it the right way is going to be interesting. Thank you for such a good lesson.
Cheers bud, glad you liked this one! Had to learn it a few years back and was never totally convinced by the tabs I've found, only got round to recording it recently for whatever reason :)
I doubt many folk play it verbatim (I think I got a few bit wrong here as well!), maybe hitting a few key licks here and there? Really glad that this can add a wee bit something to your version!
Liked and subscribed mate. Thanks for this tab, I just learned a version of this solo on ultimate guitar what sounds really good but this sounds very close to the original. I'm gonna learn this version when I can get my hands on my guitar tomorrow. Thanks again mate, great video, slow speed was a real help, aswell as using TH-cam's 0.25 speed it give me a chance to see every note being played.
Hey, this one is a GN93CE. I damaged the pickups (don't know how) and it was a total nightmare to find a replacement set, other than that great guitar!
Yeah, with an improvised solo it's always a bit tricky to transcribe! If you can timestamp specifically what's wrong and include suggested corrections, that will likely help others out. Would be interesting to see if it's the same parts I wasn't totally convinced with :)
@@JbfMusicGuitar sure hmm, I dunno if I can type it well here. There's a little thrill in the beginning, he does 5h7p5, then picks 5 again on the D string quickly. The second slide 5s7 gotta wait a bit more, it's like 3 beats before sliding, like, just after the keyboard chord, then slide, and then when he does the thrill thing from 8h10p8 of the B string, he does the same thing again, he picks the 8 of the G string after the little thrill. Next part after the little tremolo I think he does 12p10 10 on the B string and 12 on the G string, little pause, 12 12 12p10/9 on the G string, pause, 9 10 12 10 9 on the B string again then 12 10 10/12 12 12. Again, he does the 10h12p10, then picks 10 quickly again on the B string. The very last note of the solo he picks twice, the 10 in the A string. Well, that's about it, sorry if it's confusing, I have no idea how to write a tab here. Or I can try some cellphone recording of how I do it :). I'll write a timestamp with all that I said here, just to simplify
th-cam.com/video/XM1SN00lh3I/w-d-xo.html this is a cover of mine. Excuse me the quality, it was recorded by cellphone, and I'm a bit rusty, recovering from repetitive strain disorder lol.
@@pauloguitar4366 Yeah there were a few of those trills, where I couldn't tell if he picked the note after or not for sure! There were a few slurred timings as well, that I might have rushed a bit. Interesting, I hear that 5/7 slide as being on the 3rd beat, rather than after it. I couldn't follow the rest of it though, sorry! Hopefully will be of use to someone though!
@@JbfMusicGuitar mate I spent hours practicing this on my new gretsch hollow body that arrived yesterday. that's all thanks to you and that's going to be the thing I remember about this guitar forever, so a heartfelt thank you. Grand job! x

Great tutorial of a song I first heard as a 12 year old back in 1974.
Steve Harley RIP.
It's really cool that someone can create a piece of art that sticks with us for so long, the guy was just effortlessly cool as well
Teaching my dad guitar, he's learned the rhythm so now I need to learn this, just what I was looking for! Cheers mate!
Glad I could help! Hope you guys have a blast playing together, sounds like a really fun thing to do!

Awesome Chris! Always really great to hear stuff like that- you've made my week as well bud!
One of those iconic songs that if you play you must play well. thankyou great usable tutorial 🇦🇺 scott
Glad you enjoyed it Scott, thanks!
Gentleman for doing this, superb
much obliged my good man!
Brilliant stuff, as others have said I remember this song as a kid back in the 70's and it still makes the hairs stand up.

Cheers
It's a cracking tune, great solo too. You're spot on about it being a kind upbeat foot stomper! Hope you have fun with the solo 🤘
Nailed it! Thank you very much for providing a tutorial!
No problem mate, hope you get this one in the bag, pretty tricky, but also very fun to play!
Brilliant. As others have said, you really take the time to explain the phrases, groupings of notes, which is key to the solo. I'll give it my best shot. Would really love to get fluent at this.
Best of luck mate, I'm sure you'll nail it! Really happy to hear that more detailed approach is useful to you as well!
Great format!
Thanks fella.
Dang! I've been playing that solo wrong for a long time now. Re-learning it the right way is going to be interesting. Thank you for such a good lesson.
Cheers dude! Trust your own ears- I could easily have made some errors as well!
Great lesson, thanks very much, cleared up a few things I just couldn't pick out. Thanks for your time.
My pleasure Nick, really glad it help you out, just a really fun solo to play, nice bit of acoustic shred! 🤘
thanks a lot from Perth Australia great lesson, i also didn't know i could slow videos down until you said it.
Cheers Peter! Oh man, that's been a game changer for me, way easier to learn stuff!
Very helpful - love this format - Thank you ✨
Terrific lesson format & execution! subbed, chrs..
Stunning !! Well on my way to being able to play this - thank you
Awesome, hope you get this down in no time Richard!
Spot on! Well done thanks!
Cheers bud, glad you liked this one! Had to learn it a few years back and was never totally convinced by the tabs I've found, only got round to recording it recently for whatever reason :)
Great stuff
I’ve always “blagged it” using G mixo but this has added that little extra

Superb! Glad to hear it, fun solo but not exactly an easy one! Oh man tell em about it=, that speed thing is a life saver
Excellent lesson - thanks
Brilliant, hope it helped out! Don't hear acoustic solos like that in many songs, bit of a belter don't you think?
Yes I noticed as you stated in info you missed a note on D string played once then again, and slide to 12 the fret. Thx
great
Cheers dude! It's such a great acoustic solo, hope you have a tonne of fun with it 🎸🎶
My dream to play this shit
Awesome. It's a tricky solo, but I'm sure you'll nail it! 🤘
Hi there what the model number of your takamine you have ?
Hey, this one is a GN93CE. I damaged the pickups (don't know how) and it was a total nightmare to find a replacement set, other than that great guitar!
@@JbfMusicGuitar hi .thanks for info 👍🏽
Mildly inaccurate, nothing serious though, just the timing and some picked repeated notes after those little pull offs.
Yeah, with an improvised solo it's always a bit tricky to transcribe!
If you can timestamp specifically what's wrong and include suggested corrections, that will likely help others out. Would be interesting to see if it's the same parts I wasn't totally convinced with :)
