Ah man. That brought back some memories from the time machine.
Exceptionally brilliant. Adrian’s left leg is an absolute metronome.
Your absolutely on it. Just like the record.I played that tune in jr. High and High School the same way. In the late 1960's. But I didn't get a Fender Tele until 1972. And found out most of the hits on the radio, I could sound just like them.
Makes me want to drive through a shopping mall.
The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year.
in a police cruiser?
@@BrickBlacktoe Only if you fix the cigarette lighter.
I'm laughing my ass off. Thank you for that.
This place has everything!
So simple but so steady.
I love guitar players who choose not to overplay and to focus on the "pocket" instead. Of course Steve Cropper stands out among such players. Thanks for another brilliant lesson!!!
Another great one! The best guitar guitar channel on TH-cam.
Otis’ backing band, and absolute masters. Very much appreciated, Adrian. You choose the stuff we need, and we need the stuff you choose.
Fantastic tune with a great bass line by Duck Dunn.
Our band used to open every show with this tune which we would segue into the next without a break. Love it.
Learned this from the Clash, finally now got a Tele to indulge my Cropper love!
My step father recently passed away and knew Steve. Steve his son's family were kind enough to send two flower arrangements to the memorial service. Cool dude!
In a musical world where every guitarist seems to want to be Guthrie Govan, this is a breath of fresh air. Top work Sir.....guitar that makes you smile while you play instead of frown.
Who the fuck is Guthrie govan
Or Cory Wong, he could learn to leave some space.
@@guitarman1477 he’s a prodigy who could play this as perfectly as Adrian does here. But I think the point is guitarists become very lead oriented and focus on the same twenty lead players while ignoring rhythm and parts playing which is what bands and artists really need from a guitarist in the first place, not sweep picking .
@@dahliafiend well, I’m a guitarist, there is nothing difficult about this, it’s very easy , what is your point?
@@guitarman1477 I think the point is that the newer breed of guitar heroes play too many notes in an effort to dazzle with proficiency when, many times, a less flashy approach better serves the song, such as is the case with Steve Cropper.
Steve Cropper is one of my favorite guitars. Growing up in the 60's, I heard songs like Time Is Tight, Soul Man and Green Onions regularly on the radio. Still love hearing those songs.
Yup, The Clash introduced me to this song in 1980...and they really covered it well (chorus with The Clash goes to D rather than G)...playing the main riff was one of my early guitar accomplishments :-)
Excellent, cheers from Canada....
Steve Crooper greatest studio/live performer ever.
He is and will continue to be a bridge between races.
He played with SOUL.
Prototypical Steve Cropper! ZERO wasted notes! Yet every note there is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!! Thank you for this valuable lesson and analysis.
Cropper is the king of R&B and soul guitar.
Great song, great lesson. Steve Cropper really had a funky guitar sound.
I love that bar chord change.
You are always right on it. Hats off to you.
Love this
These lessons are a gem. Thank you.
The best guitar channel by far. Not only by the way you play the tracks but also for your amazing selection of them. Congrats
Love this classic. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos, it's duly appreciated. I think yoi di an awesine job and it's one of the few tutorial channels that I actually learn something from. Cheers!
I love this tune. Great lesson. Thank you for doing this.
"Who wants an orange whip?.......orange whip👉?......orange whip👉?...... Three orange whips!"
Ole Man Trouble & Gotta Make a Comeback are brilliant examples of Crops work.
Always loved this tune. Superb straightforward tutorial!!
First heard this in '68 at the age of ten. Always brings a smile...
You've done Steve proud, one of the very coolest of grooves and jams..
Mighty, Steve is The Man! Thanks for this one Adrian.
I recommend the version recorded in the 1990s included on their boxed set. It's live, and Booker had written a sort of epic arrangement to it that was used as their finale. It's absolutely magnificent.
Any casual fans reading this should buy their 3 disc boxed set. You will not be disappointed. It happens to be called 'Time Is Tight'.
A great tune, well played. The Tele is sounding great!
One or my all-time favourites, cheers!
Love this. You are a very talented guitar player and teacher Adrian.
Thank you so much! I also am going to spend the weekend with this groove!
What a groovin’ tune! Thanks for doing a video on it!
You always do an amazing job, but I especially like when you turn your attention toward Steve Cropper. Great work.
One of my favorite Booker T tracks.
Wow, this is FANTASTIC, Adrian! As always, wonderful lesson and superb playing. Thanks so much for this -- I'll go have fun now and dive into it on your Patreon. Rock (and boogie!) on!!
Always loved how this was adapted as an intro for Can't turn you Loose with the brass riff, but it is a great instrumental on its own.
Great lesson from you as usual. Love this song since day one. Such s great vibe. Thank you young man.
Thats my cut! Very nice 👍
this was one of the first songs I played on the organ - and now it‘s one of the first songs I am learnig to play on guitar 😀
Another excellent video, I was lucky to see him live a few times absolutely fantastic guitar player
Brilliant as usual !!! Thanks for all the vids mate
Excellent lesson! I wasn’t looking for it, it was just suggested by You Tube and I’m so glad I clicked. Like others have commented, this tune is a breath of fresh air for guitarists.
Far out!! Love this tune. Your tutorial is tops!
Another nice one, you have such varied taste. Thanks for teaching us all much appreciated.
Another great idea for a song to learn. And still playing and really enjoying your album Adrian.
Awesome lesson Adrian. Inspiring.
Sehr, sehr schön!!
Perfect lesson! This made me sign up for his Patreon account. My favourite teacher online by far. Keep on sharing with us!
Great tune! Thanks Adrian
I always like straightforward guitar playing, stuff I can sing or whistle and play along. Cheers for the video!
Bang on man! Keep up the good work!
Outstanding- thank you!
Awesome telly and great tone in your vid!
Adrian , you are such a versatile player
Thats really great! Thank you so much!
Yes I agree great choice of song fun to learn and play it's the second song I've learned from you this week Johnny kid and the pirates shaking all over great songs to learn never get old appreciate it thank you keep up the good work
I was impressed by the way you played the keyboard part with your left foot.
Great lesson once again 👍
Clean as a whistle...
I really like the sound of that amp!
The film was named "Up Tight".
Very nicely done! Subscribed and saved.
Great song! Great lesson! Thanks!
Thanks for this one from Jim in the midwest. Nicely done
Thanks, been meaning to sit down and figure this out myself, but never got around to it. Fairly simple. The rhythm seems to be the hardest part.
Another great tutorial as well as background information on the song.
I've always loved this song....but I've always felt there was a piece missing. It's like when I just about feel the song is going to bust out (when the organ sound is cresting) into a groovy solo arrangement, it drops back to the main riff or intro......gets me every time.
There are a ton of subtitle accents in this tune- thanks for running through them
Another great lesson thanks
"Play it Stevie!"
I first heard this as the countdown music of Johnny Walkers' chart show on Tuesdays at midday on Radio 1 in the 70s. I never got to actually hear the no. 1 song because as soon as he announced it, I had to leg it back to school which was just around the corner from my house.
One of the best video!!!
Guess I missed this one.Glad I was scrolling down in my subs.Thanks Adrian, I have learned quite a bit watching your lessons and I know it's because you are a great teacher.Great job always!!
Zabardast, cheers from Canada mate!!!
Fantastic job 🍻🎸
easy but very effective exercise
great lesson, thanks
Great work
thanks a lot, very useful lesson! and - as always - very good tabs!
This is a tune!
Great choice!
Great sound man!!!
Princetons have changed my life - great stuff as ever. Cheers!
Guthrie Govan would be the first to recognise the brilliance of Steve Cropper. It just so happens his preferred style of playing is extremely virtuosic and technical. He is every bit as humble as Steve Cropper too, which is a huge reason I’ve followed his career since I first discovered him back in 1995.
For the record, I aspire to play like Steve Cropper more than Guthrie, simply because I love the guitar style and prefer the songs he has played on. Whenever Guthrie speaks, however, I listen because he is an absolute master and is an incredible teacher too.
Just in case anyone wasn’t aware, by the way, it is possible to love and respect both Steve Cropper AND Guthrie Govan. I know I do!
You are that rare sensible person.
Of the two, Cropper would be easier to copy whereas Guthrie would be practically impossible, such is his technical gift. However, Guthrie is hardly known outside of the guitar geek collective and Cropper is a global legend.
@@GaryAppledale Govan’s playing is like really fast typing, of a story that isn’t particularly memorable nor interesting. Ultra-fast guitarists who preceded him, like Shawn Lane, Malmsteem, Holdsworth, and for an all too brief time, Jason Becker, lose a lot in trading musicality, phrasing, riffs and songs that stay in listener’s heads, for speed. He’s incredibly skilled but his music is disposable. Unlike a Les Paul, a Jimi Hendrix, EVH or SRV, or a BB King, w/o him, music would be the same.
@@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426 Agreed. A lot of the guitarists made famous via TH-cam, though undoubtedly incredibly skilled, can't actually write for toffee. And what you say about songs "staying in listener's heads" resonates with me having heard Dylan say the [practically] same thing., that you have to be able to write songs that "get inside people's heads." I have many friends who are aspiring songwriters but they all seem to produce only rather melancholic self regarding, 6th form poetry set to a few chord changes. I keep shouting "write some frickin' rock 'n roll will ya!"
Best thumbnails on TH-cam(the lessons are pretty cool too).
Thanks was stuck in a bit of a rut. This made me pick up my tele again 🤟👍
This made my day, I’m still grinnin’. 😁
Another excellent lesson, Adrian! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. I really enjoyed the two Kenny Burrell lessons you did a few episodes back. Would love to see more Jazz (e.g. Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel, Django). 👏 👍
Cropper is one of my favorite guitarists too
Bread and butter fundamentals. If you learn stuff like this you'll always get work, never mind if your interests lie elsewhere. Great pocket -playing.
Can anyone else hear Elwood Blues talking to the audience as this song plays? No telling how many times I've seen the Blues Brothers movie! Great lesson.
Thanks!
Love it
You have his tone down perfectly
Mate. This comment refers to this video along with the video of Danny Kirwan's Jigsaw Puzzle Blues. Respect to all the other comments here. This is how to do these lessons. This is just perfect. Go well son.
