This lesson will live on TH-cam as one of the greatest ever done. Long after your gone it will be the standard for guitar instruction. Congratulations.
Bringing joy to quarantined axe-men everywhere...we have been awaiting this. Thanks Andy!
This is the best guitar solo lesson I've seen on TH-cam. Also - after 40 years of wanting to play this solo, I'm getting close. Thank you so much for your hard work on this!
Tom Scholz is one of the best guitarists ever
I can only imagine how much time and research went into this lesson. Thanks Andy
Dude that was a smoke show. Been trying to figure that song out for 40 years!
Thank you. 🍻
The notes and phrasing of this solo is an absolute masterpiece...
But I've also got to say that the tone in this video on those bends is everything to do with the reason that I picked up guitar 41 years ago and still play it today.
I’ve been playing this song for close to 4 decades and working way harder than was necessary. Thank you for showing me an easier way.
Gotta say. This is one of your best. I mean I tried tabs, watching him live, nothing worked. Just incredible job.. Thank you
17:46 I love how you literally roll up your sleeves for the hardest part of the solo. You weren't kidding! 😆
In 1976 I was in High School, I play guitar. Boston change all the guitar concepts in my mind. Boston is one of the best rock music by far. About you.. you are the best teacher !!!, many years waiting for someone knows Boston like you. THANKS THANKS THANKS !!!.
One of the best guitar solos ever recorded in my opinion and you do it supreme justice in my opinion. I've played this song hundreds of times and still love playing that outdoors solo. Sadly don't have my rockman any longer but I get by with a wah pedal just fine. Great video!!
You're an incredible guitarist and your lessons cannot be bettered by anyone as they're absolutely spot-on every time. Top quality instruction and video production to boot. Cheers!
Your attention to detail is incredible. You nailed it note for note !
I can hardly thank you enough! This video is very helpful. I appreciate your dedication to every nuance and tone
Great stuff, you've got the best Boston tutorials on youtube. Stay healthy
Thanks for teaching me the correct hand positions and notes when playing guitar. I been cheating my way thru forever. I appreciate your technical skill and teaching. You actually take the time to talk us through these lessons. I think your the best teacher on TH-cam. Again. Thank you.
Another great lesson with detailed breakdown of each section of this classic guitar song - thank you.
Another brilliant lesson! You are easily the best guitar tutor/teacher on TH-cam, so incredibly informative and true to the song every single time!
No doubt that Tom Scholz was an absolute genius, and it’s so great that you are able to express that in your lessons. Keep up the good work and a big thank you for uploading all these masterpieces.
I love how You put your heart and soul into the lessons 👍🏼👍🏼
I love melodic dynamic solos. This is one of the best. Great job and thank you.
Been fumbling around this solo for YEARS... this really helps! Thank you!
LITTLE WING please🙏🙏

Great tutorial! Thank you. This is my fav solo of all time.
Thanks Andy, this is incredible and just gives me even more reason to be in awe of Tom Scholz, he was a genius, wow!!!
Thanks again for a great lesson Andy can't wait for what you have next for us.
Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial my guy, it's my all-time favorite Tom Sholz lead and one of my favorite leads in all of rock!!!
Such a lovely solo with loads of great techniques to work on! Thanks man! x
I always love your tutorials the best, you really sweat the details Brother!
Thank You! so much for spending time on a quality lesson on this gem :)
This is a fantastic lesson! Thank you Such a beautiful guitar song and solo.
Thank you so much for this lesson! I have been working with this solo for like a month now i just have to master it as i just finished the vid! Thank you, you are great
Saw the demo, it was magical. One of my favorite lead solo's of all time. I've always dreamed of playing this one but, while I only pick up the guitar once every few years, this one is going to remain out of reach. Good stuff though. I hope this video is still here when I do come back to it.
What a beautiful Solo, and a great job breaking it down.
Thanks - that ought to keep me busy for a couple of weeks.Tom Scholz is a guitar genius
You did it my friend!!! Thank you for the lesson 🙏
You are NOT "The Rock GOD" but "A Rock god"!!! This solo keeps bringing me back to listen and only wish i could play it. Where the Heck have you been? Need more tutorials.
Ive got to learn this! Outstanding lesson 👏
Fantastic song from 1976 !!! Great stuff !!! Nice !!!
I remember this coming out i just started guitar and was like omg this is insane he goes so fast. but 4 years later i am getting pretty well... still have to put the vid in .5 speed sometimes and replay parts like 20 times but it works!
Wow. Great lesson. Thank you.
Excellent, thank you!
One of my top 5 favorite leads

Outrageously good.
Again. You rock. Sometimes better than the original.
You are good. Really good.
donated 10 bux for this. Way above wanking, this is art at the highest level. Killer tones and playing. Thanks
Every guitarist on the planet should subscribe to this channel!
Love the solo and you helped me to learn it. One of the best instructors on TH-cam. Is it just me or is this entire lesson taught one step down from the original recording? It sounds like that to me on my headphones. Great tutorial none the less
Yes my thoughts exactly. If you watch Rick beato cover it, he plays it one fret higher
He mentioned that in the video
I appreciate your teaching style. Not sure if this is the place to make request but I’d love a tutorial on REO Speedwagon Flying Turkey Trot as well as other tunes by the band!
Awesome! Can you do “another park another Sunday” by the doobie brothers
You the master
Learned stairway and hotel california in 2 days,this one ,still working on it!specially starting at 17:56.
Kicks ass!
you got some real skill.I always start with your site if i am looking for something,How about some Thin Lizzy ie,Warriors and Johhny the Fox meets jimmy the weed
Sensacional 👏👏👏
genius!
Thanks for these awesome lessons. How about some Ten Years After - I'd Love To Change The World !
Awesome video, thank you for this. I’ve been wanting to learn this solo for a while. Can I ask what strings and effects you are using?
“That’s All I Wanna Do” by Graham Coxon please! Beautiful guitar playing. Would appreciate it. Take it easy
Bookmark 27:40
Awesome lesson!
Really nice vibrato technique.
The composition and the playing of this by Tom Scholz was/is "epic".
But this guitar lesson is also "epic" 😎
nice
Definitely approximated that Rockman tone with the wah!
Do you know the song elk river by six organs of admittance? Beautiful song and I would love if you did a lesson on it
I think , I’m not sure .but I think he does that vibrato with that hyperspace pedal that he has . He said in a video on TH-cam that he only made two of them a long time ago . He has one , and somebody else has one . I may be wrong ,but he plays a Les paul also with no whammy bar .
There is always a subtle "reference" to Foreplay/Long Time in many of their songs - this one is no different, especially in the some of those triplet riffs in the solo - he uses that a lot.
Fantastic lesson and play thru!
BTW, what String tree/butler brand are you using?
Is there a specific tuning for this song? GP has a various of tunings.
Please tell me how I play my guitar along with the recording??? How do I do that???
8:00am by Marcus king live in studio on TH-cam
Is this down one half step or is it tuned up one half step on the recording? Does anybody know? I'm following just fine but it doesn't line up.
The song is in fact a half step up
For those who haven’t watched the demo it’s a must see.
Boston's "Don't Look Back" Please 🙏
The solos were trade offs between Tom sholtz and Barry Goudreau . By the way. Their styles complimented each other but were subtlety different
This is all TS. Barry only played on 2 tracks on the debut album, "Let Me Take You Home" and "Foreplay/Long Time." Cheers, Andy.
If I’m not mistaken, some of the structure of this solo was written/contributed by Goudreau, but he’s not playing on this particular song
Thanks for the tutorial! - if you're tuned a half step down to accomodate the early rythym part why aren't you playing the notes in the proper scale? Everytime I go to play with the song I need to move my hands up haha... Maybe my speakers are just tuned a half-step up
T.S is a very melodic guitar player.
You can sing his solos.
No doubt that came from studying classical piano. Just like EVH.
29:37...."Oops" he says. As if it's a big problem to get the sounding of a single note among 1000 off a bit.😆
Incidentally...this is arguable the single greatest composed solo in the history of Rock
what about barry grudou

Very interesting. With respect to the multiple guitars, did Barry Goudreau contribute to any of it? I'm pretty sure he played the lead on "Foreplay/Long Time". But I'm not sure what else he was involved in. I know Tom Scholz played pretty much every instrument (except drums) on that entire album.
Back in the early '80s I bought a Les Paul, put some DiMarzio Supers in it, and bought a Rockman, because I wanted that Boston sound. And I got it! I could strum a chord and it would sound a lot like a Boston guitar sound. I'd plug the Rockman into an amp on the clean channel and get that Boston sound. I still have that Rockman. But I don't have any way to power it up.
There's a very very early demo of this, under the title "San Francisco Day" from when the band was called Mother's Milk, and still renting studio time to record, probably around the early 70s (maybe late 60s? Boston timeline stuff is hazy pre debut album) where Barry and Tom are both on lead guitar for the outro, and it sounds like Barry plays the opening line of the outro (but it's unknown whether he improv'd it or if Tom showed him the melody) and then the whole thing sort of progresses into a meandering jam where they're both shred/noodling over each other in a way that feels vaguely Allman Bros, but doesn't have the magic of the final track. By the time of the six song demo, when Tom had built the first basement studio on School Street and holed up to perfect everything, San Francisco day was recorded with Tom on all guitars, bass, and keys, Brad on all vocals, and Jim Masdea on drums. It sounds basically like the album, which was recorded more or less note for note like the demo, only with Sib Hashian on drums.
Also per your Rockman, is it a headphone amp and if so does it not work with batteries anymore?
It is a headphone amp. And it works with batteries. It takes 8 AA batteries. There is an AC adapter called "Rockadapter" which was available, and I bought one. However, the Rockadapter no longer works. I recently found it and tried to determine the problem. It seems the problem is in the AC adapter plug part. I think it's a loose wire inside, because if I fidget with the wire, sometimes it comes on. But it will not stay on.
@@RoguePhysicist Yeah sounds like a faulty wire in the Rockadapter. I think those still pop up on ebay and reverb every now and again. Sounds like you did test it with AAs and it worked though? Or did you only use it with batteries when you first got it?
When I first bought it, it did not come with a Rockadapter if I remember correctly. In those days, batteries didn't last very long at all. Also, I found that the sound quality degraded quite a bit when those batteries started running out of juice. So I got a Rockadapter and used it all the time, which kept the Rockman operating a full power.
I took the Rockadapter to an electronics shop to see if they could fix it. There's a loose wire in the plug portion. Unfortunately, the shop said they don't do small jobs like that. And suggested I pry it open at try to fix it myself. Previously, I searched online to see how to fix an AC adapter plug, which involved prying it open.
Prior to that, I put some modern "top-of-the-line" Energizers in it and they lasted a failt long time. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn it off recently and the batteries ran down.
I "jimmied" the wires which attach to the plug to get it to work, and now I am using it with the Rockadapter again. Since I am not in a band or anything now, I just have it sitting on the amp and I won't mess with it until the wires come loose again. But if it gets to the point where I can't manipulate it into working, I might just pry it open and try to fix it myself.
Barry dont recorded anything on that record
9:50 Solo starts
