Kelly! I've been playing 45 plus years. Always struggled with this song, Your video suddenly opened a door showing me the song is more straight forward and less complex than I had been making it. Great job putting out a solid tutorial! Thank you!
Kelly, excellent job on a great Montrose song. You are a great guitar player and an excellent teacher. Your videos are very clear and concise and easy to follow. Once again, GREAT JOB! and keep making these great videos and sharing the joy of making music and teaching others in the process!!
Yea I remember well, as I also played that annum right out …lol..seen them in Duluth with them opening for Foghat and Black Oak Arkansas …Montrose blew them both out the water , I’ll never forget them starting with space station #5 …they played La Grange threw the PA Before they went in SS#5 …everybody’s heads were rockin then they kick it again…totally awesome…
Seems to be my niche lately, and I'm not complaining. Lots of big players to come out of the seventies who are still highly regarded today, but still more who time seems to have sadly forgotten. Just doing my best small part in keeping them alive and in people's ears.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitarAny chance you'd do some riffs from Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy? Maybe some heavy ones from the Renegade or Thunder and Lightning albums. Another guy might be Aldo Nova, like "Monkey on your back"?
When I was a kid, I rigged up the stereo system in my bedroom in the basement and hung speakers on each side of the bed. I would play this Montrose album until I wore out the grooves and had to buy another one. This is one of the albums that made me want to play Electric guitar. Oddly enough, the drummer in my first real band was a male stripper and I loaned him a Fender Mustang guitar that he used on stage to strip with to Rock Candy. He had more women than he knew what to do with so the rest of us got a lot of good leftovers. Thanks so much Kelly for showing us the song. A half hour later, you want another. Thanks again my friend.
The first Montrose album had a powerful and lasting impression on me. Ronnie's instrumental solo album The Speed of Sound is also impressibe. I noticed that the main riff uses similar notes as in Hair of the Dog. I didn't know that Ronnie died in such a tragic way. Sorry to hear that. Thanks Kelly for your comments in your tutorials. I find them informative. I also like your teaching style.
Love you channel my fellow Canadian. Any chance of doing a part 2 for the rest of the licks and solo? To me, that first album is the best classic rock album of all time. Not a dud on it. Do a series on the entire album. Now I'm getting greedy. Thanks for all your time and effort.
One of my all time favorite jams. Anything Sammy touches is gold in my eyes! Wish him & Kevin would have done it acoustic on the Lite Roast album cuz I think it would sound awesome!
Cool riff and awesome grinding the last three years! Whats your thoughts on the solo on «Thank you» BBC verdion by zeppelin? Allways loved that one and theres no lessons!
Mr k . your forgot HIS PROJECT ONE GREAT underrated band GAMMA I MET RONNIE IN MY HOMETOWN SACRAMENTO CA.AFTER HE CAME TO OUR HOUSE HELPS SET UP THIS MONSTER PA SYSTEM SO YEARS LATER HE HELPS MY BUD'S BAND CITY KIDD THAT HE SAID DICH THE NAME FRANK HANNON COMES UP WITH TESLA. Ronnie and I became friends he called me about four in the morning witch we were just getting home from opening for ENUF z nuff Ronnie was very much distressed he had some music misshapes well I did as well Ronnie Montrose was my inspiration favorite guitar player who played with van Morrison, Edgar winter so he broke the news gamma had broke up I was very happy to get a shot to get a xguitar player to help Ronnie get a new record cut n roll the cash out Ronnie was such a great man songwriter AND his style sound was so ahead of time I got to play bass after gamma broke up in a few clubs by San Francisco I was deeply saddened to find out of his passing his music 🎼 lives on his amazing sound ,great one of a kind riffs solos songs that would pump me up AND still inspires me to this very day yes I really do miss that guy who's music will never die MONTROSE FOREVER rest peacefully brother ronnie.in our heart's always so crank his music next time you get a chance.thanks people rock on ..stay safe 😮!!!!!
Kelly love your channel you are an incredible guitarist! Do you do any lessons? Skype? I’ve been playing guitar for a long time just never took it serious until about four years ago.

I saw them play this live in 1974 at Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham Alabama.

Ronnie used a 3x10 Bandmaster combo turned up to 11 with a Big Muff for this album...
Wearing a Fender Strat shirt while playing a mini-Les Paul style PRS. I dig it

Awesome instruction!!! Would you consider doing Keep Yourself Alive by Queen? Id love to see your instruction of that.
Also, the guys in KIZZ and also Eddie Van Halen said that they used to listen to the first album for inspiration
Lakeside park lead or y y z nice solos
One of the heaviest riffs in history ...
One of my all time favorite jams. Anything Sammy touches is gold in my eyes! Wish him & Kevin would have done it acoustic on the Lite Roast album cuz I think it would sound awesome!
Don't forget the great voice of Mr Sammy Hagar one of the best all-time rock and roll voices
Cool riff and awesome grinding the last three years!
Whats your thoughts on the solo on «Thank you» BBC verdion by zeppelin?
