Great job Marty! I play Let It Go by bending the double-stop on the 4th fret a semi-tone. If you listen to the recording, that is what is happening. Your method makes it more clear for beginners, as the double-stop bend may be tough for newer players. Instead of going to a full G chord, you can play open D and G strings in between...much easier that way too. In the context of a full band, it likely isn't as noticeable but wanted to share my two cents.
Yea gonna say bend 1/4 step on the 4th and 2 guitar players on this song playing identical parts so maybe 1 guy bends and 1 guy slides like he does? Let it go 🤟🏻
Thanks for the refresher. I used to play these riffs for my young bride, 30 years ago. 😉 I bought On Through The Night when it first came out. I'm that old. The first records were great. I did like the Pete and Steve era, though. So in 1996 my wife and I saw Queensryche and Def Leppard. I didn't want to go because I didn't think Def Leppard would play the old tunes. Wrong! They opened with all of their A-tuning songs. Hit and Run. Let it Go. I was blown away. I think they played three or four songs back to back before welcoming the crowd.
Oh man! These are some of the best DL tunes! Such raw energy in those days. What I love about their catalog is how they’re songs and musicianship progressed over the years. I dig it all. Let it go is such an aggressive tune, musically and vocally. Thanks for this video Marty. I’m all set for my weekend jams now!
Killer, Marty!! Just killer stuff. The foundation of Def Leppard. Steve Clark laid it down, and this was it. The rest is history, as they say. Such great stuff they had back in the day, and that led us to Pyro and Hysteria. The riffage was so bad as back then. What a band!! I'm so glad they are still around. Good stuff, Brother!
Those first Leppard albums were great. You Nailed the tone. That sounds just like the Album. Some Scorpions, that four album sweet spot from Animal Magnetism to Love at First Sting. Always nice to see something drawn by hand after months and months of perfect straight lines and circles. Good stuff.
I like when you say ……. “this is what it sounds like to me “ just due to the fact that each of us guitarists have their own interpretation of how something may sound! Some of us may hear some more intricate sounding progressions or some may just take the simplest part of each progression or phrasing but all in all it’s pretty well bang on when you bring it to us! Another great job brother!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hey great tutorial. I love the "Classic Era" of Def Leppard as you call it. I am by no means a musician but have been playing since 87. I call myself a "guitar owner." But when I love a song I get tabs and try to learn it. Steve Clark is my favorite guitar player. I've been trying for years to learn the solos from On Through the Night, High N Dry, Pyromania, and even some Hysteria songs but mostly stick to the riffs. I just don't have the patience. I've said I'll actually study guitar when I retire. I especially like the way you break down Bringing on the Haertbrake.
Thanks for this, Marty! I’ve been playing “Let It Go” as a warm up for awhile, but I’ve learned a new note or two I was leaving out. I have a Tab notebook that I copy what tabs you give into that book. Thanks brother! 🎸🤘
Hey, I love your channel, very informative and easy to follow. On Let It Go, I hear a bend on that opening riff. your lesson is a slide. Keep rocking, thanks so much!
Yeh totally a bend. I guess I just taught it the way I play it haha. Sometimes I have a habit of that! Thanks for the comment and the channel support. 😎🎵🤟🏻.
Marty. You are the best guitar instructor of the music I like on the the tube, and i like your mellow demeanor, plus you rock. Just saying. Keep up the the great catalog of rock metal. Am Learning alot. Subscribed 🤘
Marty love ya man, love what you do and usually you get it right but I gotta tells ya brother, you got bringing ion the heartbreak All messed up. Your making it much more difficult then it is. I been playing that song in bands for 25 years .
Dude, I just started following you. You have become one of the main instructors on TH-cam that I follow. I really like how you demonstrate your lessons. Any chance you could do a follow up to the Let It Go lesson with a full lesson version? I've been playing this song totally different and your versions sounds more like the album version.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I was looking up some videos for Let It Go and if you watch them they're bending the A string at the third vs doing the slide from the 5th fret to the 4th fret. I understand this is the way you play it just thought I'd share that with you. But I really dig your teaching style and appreciate your lessons.
Även om du visar hur steves handarbete på gittaren så det så oerhört mycket som man inte förstår vad han gör...hans sätt att spela på sin gittar var är och kommer alltid att vara ett mysterium...han var en ENORM gittarist låtskrivare och musiker och det kommer aldrig någonsin att kunna beskriva hur han spelade....men du är oerhört duktig på att beskriva hur steve spelade...tack för ditt intresse och kärlek till den största gittarist låtskrivare och musiker genom tiderna och det kommer aldrig någonsin att finnas någon som steve mer
Love your channel Marty. You do an excellent job breaking down songs and I have learned a ton from watching your channel. What type of pickups are you running in that LP?
Every tab I’ve ever seen on this song shows that little c,b,a slide you play on the 4, 3 and second fret of the D and G strings as a actual full ste bendon the fourth fret, DNG string they bend it up from a B to C and then drop to the second fret, for the A.

Most definitely man! That way is certainly performance correct. I guess I have morphed into this way over the years lol! 😂😂😂
Absolutely a bend to keep in the spirit!
I was going to suggest this as well but you beat me to it. High n’ Dry, the best Def Leppard album. Just pure, raw rock n’ roll.
Glad you pointed this out man as it took ages to get the technique/ strength in my fingers to bend properly and then finding out I'm playing it wrong.
Yea gonna say bend 1/4 step on the 4th and 2 guitar players on this song playing identical parts so maybe 1 guy bends and 1 guy slides like he does? Let it go 🤟🏻
This is crazy!!! I’ve been listening to this song for the last 2weeks.Let it Go is their best song
Awesome man! Perfect timing!
Check out Lady Strange another great one!

My pleasure man! I love this early Def Lep stuff as well. Steve Clark was a riff master!
I couldn't agree with you more.
You my friend, are an excellent teacher.
Thank you so much! So glad the lessons work well for others 🤟🏻😎🎸

I hope to conjure up the good old days when guitar teachers did this! Kinda matches the era I focus on! Thanks so much!! 😎🎵🥂
Dude you rock. These my favorite tunes. Grabbing my guitar…thanks
Glad to hear man! 😎🎸

Great job 👍
I actually saw Def Lep on the Pyromania tour at the Municipal Auditorium
I was just learning Lady Strange yesterday lol! Awesome stuff!

Thanks so much, Steve Clark had some tremendous riffs and such feel. Glad to help out. I appreciate you watching 🎸😎
So many memories of learning these songs. Don't often go back to Def Leppard. Though I always seem to stray towards BTO in private lol
We don't take the easy way on this channel!!!
Love it man, thanks for the great Lepard stuff!!
It's guitar boot camp. Easy Company style. 😂
Thanx Marty‼️🎉
You are so welcome

Probably safe on the support. But I'll let em hear it for sure!
@@geoffreylowery9730 hahah!! 😂😂😂😂
Thanks Marty. My new speaker cabinet should arrive this weekend. So I will have a go at these once I get plugged in.
High n Dry was a great album 👍
Awesome man! I hope it is exactly what you are looking for. Have fun man!!!
as requested and appreciated!
I always thought u just do a slight bend 4 on d and g for let it go not a slide 🤔
Most definitely can! 😎🎵🎵🎵
Thanks for this, Marty! I’ve been playing “Let It Go” as a warm up for awhile, but I’ve learned a new note or two I was leaving out. I have a Tab notebook that I copy what tabs you give into that book. Thanks brother! 🎸🤘
You're very welcome man! One day I'll open up a site where all this stuff is downloadable. When the time allows. I appreciate you watching man!!
Awesome tutorial Marty🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻

Thanks again Marty. Would love No, No, No off of this album as well. Just something that you never see for a lesson.
You're very welcome man!!
Love this can you do some bad company foreigner zeppelin type of lessons in this same format🎸🎶
Valeu demais 😎
Nice!
Thanks!!
I was taught is by bending the notes on the fourth fret

Love your channel Marty. You do an excellent job breaking down songs and I have learned a ton from watching your channel.
What type of pickups are you running in that LP?
Thanks man! I am so happy to help and hear that people get value in the videos and lesson. This model has Gibson 57 Classics. 😎🤟🏻
Please do the white lightning solo Marty🙏🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😎🥂
Iam lovin’ the tobacco burst on that LP
Thanks man! 😎
Meat and potatoes.... my favorite!
Yes! 😎🥂🎵🎵🎵
Hail to the Yaze🤓
Off topic here, but I'd be curious to see how you'd play the opening riff to Lady Strange.
Can you please show us how you play your intro? PLEASE!!!
I had the DL book that had high n dry and pyromania best of back in the 80's. It was terrible. Awaiting the Tesla!
Tesla! I need to get some Tesla on here!! Yes.
I think they both play the opening riff
I believe the main riff is bent not slide.
Yeh true. I think I have morphed into this way over the years lol
😃✌️👍👍👍
🤟🏻😎🤟🏻
I'm wondering if Cinderella was influenced by this for nobody's fool?
You sure that’s a slide and not a bend to open strings ? Doesn’t sound like a slide on the recording
Wait are you Ben eller or Marty Wtf
How about Fire it up? That’s a riff
Wrong
Every tab I’ve ever seen on this song shows that little c,b,a slide you play on the 4, 3 and second fret of the D and G strings as a actual full ste bendon the fourth fret, DNG string they bend it up from a B to C and then drop to the second fret, for the A.
Yeh that's probably accurate as well. I teach this often how I hear them or have played them. Sometimes for simplicity too. 😎🎵🎵🎵☮️
MUUUY MAL
