Montrose! Easily the best hard rock album of the 70's! This entire album will melt your head. Way ahead of it's time.
No freakin DOUBT Homeboy! Thee Best.
Ronnie Montrose Great Guitarist
He set the standard how Rock
should be.
I wore that album out. Sammy Hagar at his finest on vocals.
He actually got better and more range with time
Definitely that band understood rock and roll. Tone lyrics Arrangement all perfect.
Rock-n-Roll!!!!!
You about outdid yourself in choosing this one - Ronnie Montrose was such a beast riff guitarist! (R.I.P. , Ronnie)
So many 80's bands owe Montrose a ton of accolades for his influence.
Great choice !!
Well said.
Wow....grew up with this album, played over and over and over! So underrated. So happy you're teaching this to a generation who may have never heard of this. And don't forget a very young Sammy Hagar as singer! Thank you for doing this, and the background of artist he played with, so cool!
Homerun, outta th' park! When I heard this on my friends' record player after school in 1973 it was a turning point in my guitar life and I've never been the same. Great job!
Hands down the cleanest, clearest, right to the point, guitar lessons on the tube. Its like candy watching these lessons with the incredible rock tone you get from that Les Paul and the great hard rock songs you teach. Thanks.
Watching your videos has demonstrated a couple of things to me that have been profoundly valuable: First, you've used the same (fantastic-sounding) Les Paul for each and every lesson where you've needed to teach an electric part, yet, I've come away from every single video feeling that you completely nailed the tone of each original recording. I'm a bit thick-headed so it took me a year or two to realize that what I am most responding to is how perfectly you've gotten the FEEL and nuance of each song, as well as the tone. Sir, your playing has profoundly answered the question for me that it ain't about chasing gear and, man, I will be forever grateful to you for teaching me that.
Great Album! I still have it on Vinyl after all these years and still play along with it
I use to love to listen to Montrose back in the day. I didn't know all that about him Great song
The licks on this song are sick!
Just when I start feeling good about my playing... then every time I watch one of your videos I don't feel that great about it anymore.
Righteous lesson. Loved Montrose from way back when I was a kid. Another Montrose fav is Make it Last. Thanks for this.
At the ripe age of 32 I picked up my first guitar and this was one of the first riffs I learned. 5 years later it is still one of the funniest to play! RIP Ronnie
You are a great player, Sir. Thank you for showcasing Ronnie's skills and talent.
Excellent lesson on a signature tune of one of the greats! Ronnie lived nearby and
he will be greatly missed.
I have watched many guitar lesson tutorials and you sir are by far the best. Not only are you a great player you are also a great teacher. You are doing a great service and inspiring countless guitar enthusiasts to pick up and play!
Good post VICTORY ... totally agree.
I agree! I've looked at tabs and all over TH-cam and this lesson is dead on in my meaningless opinion. I saw Ronnie Montrose in the mid to late 70's and they kicked ass! It's a major influence for taking up guitar.
First off, your playing is some of the best I've ever seen. Not just here, but in all your vids. So perfect & so clean. The actual song itself is only just okay, but the guitar parts, and specifically you playing it here, is absolutely sublime. So so enjoyable. Near-perfect blend of crunchy rock riffs, bends, fills, etc. Keep slaying guitar my man.
Nice reply.
Great job on this lesson. Glad to see some of these older classics taught correctly. 5 stars.
Incredible album. One of my all time favorites. Great lesson. Thanks.
So much precision in your lessons. If ya wanna learn the song right and with all the details and nuance, your channel's the place to be!
Great lesson as well as a wonderful history of Ronnie's playing.
I saw Ronnie Montrose in the early seventies when he was with Edgar Winter...smokin hot show and when he went solo I saw him again. I still have his first solo album and had Paper Money but it was on 8-track for those of you that remember, it went "kachunk" (track change) in the middle of a song. Thanks for all your work on these vids.
Wow you really nailed the sound of Montrose.....rest in peace Ronnie! I had the pleasure of meeting him and Davey Pattison at an amusement park they had a Gamma show that night!
That first Montrose album is simply required listening for any fan of guitar/hard rock. Any of these songs are excellent primers for newbie players interested in blues based rock.
Favorite Rock Album.
Kyle Drake. Mine too
Wow... have had that album since 1978!!! Sammy and Ronnie, what a trip. Excellent guitar riffs on every song on the album, but Rock Candy was the driver, unbelievable when it's cranked all the way up with subs pumping. Thanks for this and Purple Rain.
I like the way you explain things and the accuracy of your lessons. Great album.
Man, I got to say it don't get much better then the way you do it. It's a privilege to learn all these songs from you. As always another excellent job.Thanks
Love the history lesson of Montrose! The ability to talk Montrose and then sway into Freeride to make your point and then back to Rock Candy...dude, do chicks just throw themselves at you? lol You can walk into ANY bar, restaurant, club and take the place over. That is POWER.
“Do chicks just throw themselves at you”😂😂😂
They say you can’t improve guitar playing from TH-cam they are wrong thank you. You are a very good instructor very detailed.
I'm only 2 minutes into this man and I'm digging the s*** out of it dude I used to listen that back in the '70s you nailed it come on
Moved to the Inland Empire CA a few years back & met a dude who hanged with Sammy when they were kids. & read his book Red it's very cool. This is a killer jam/lick
you are the best sounding most precise artist helping us lesser players thanks for what you do!
gonna play this with my band on Saturday night! Thanks for the awesome vid!!
One of my all time favorite rhythm and lead driven rock R.Montrose songs with Sammy H slamming the vocals for icing. Always wanted to understand the licks in this one correctly. Thanks for allowing me to add this to my ax arsenal toolbox!
I learned this in like 88 or something and had forgot most of it, but thanks to you I have it again. Thanks so much .
First concert I ever saw. $5.50 at the Rochester War Memorial in 1976. No bass player. Ronnie had a different guitar on every song. He sat on a stool at "intermission " and did a crazy acoustic jam. Great foggy memories.
Excellent technique and tutorial as always. And your sound is fantastic as well. Thank you!
Sweet! Love this tune.
You have to be the greatest guitar teacher.on the tube...
Love the lessons and the history behind the music!
Love this lesson! I'm a beginner and unlike almost every other guitar lesson TH-cam out there, that over explains and makes it seem like you're learning quantum physics. Your delivery tone speed and hands on was simple exact and to the point. Thank you! Love your tone and guitar. Great song!
Thanks for for patience in making these tutorials, always informative.
Thanks for the memories, we ( band I was in at the time) played this so much that the pick slide actually wore our picks down. Good stuff and thanks again
Thanks for this vid tutorial! Your tone is pretty spot on to RM.
I was a teenager when this album hit the airwaves, and I thought it just plain ruled!
I still do...
RIP Ronnie
Of course thanks Ronnie M and lesson dude you are the man- so awesome dude thanks for putting this out there!
What a great song.
Nice. This one filled in some of the gaps I was missing.
Rock The Nation was the first song I was able to teach myself how to play some of Ronnie's licks and play it with eyes closed.
Great band with a really young Sam Hagar.
Dude - SOOOOO AWESOME - just perfect - thank you 🎸🎸🎸
hands down, best sounding lp on the tube
Montrose has always been one of my favorites. I would love to see you show us how to play "Town Without Pity."
Thankx For The Quick Warm UP Saved Me alodda Time For Tonight's GIG- KUDOS- BRO'
I saw Montrose perform this live in the 80s. Man, he was LOUD.
I still have the 8 track tape from 1974. Alas I don't have a 8 track player. I still love the fact that the album was done on a Fender Bandmaster. Another player that swore by the same amp was the late great Edward Van Halen.
what a killer riff !
Awesome man thank you very much and thank you Ronnie.
Great song and even better lesson. Thanks
Great instruction! I've learned so much about technique not to mention songs. 2 licks clean are better than 4 licks dirty. Starting to learn guitar at 54 y/o can be difficult but sounding right makes you want keep it up.. Thanks!
Kick ass. Great Lesson. Another fantastic job.
that sounds amazing. Gonna check it out right now!
Well I can't add anything more than others have already commented but great lessons and l love the enthusiasm and joy you show while dissecting the different sections. Well done! I have learned quite a bit from your videos. Again, great job.
missed this one somehow. great choice. that one slide just gives me chills. you use your thumb on the harmonic. interesting. I always use my index finger.
why do I learn so much more from u than just reading tabs....BECAUSE I LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE RYTHEM , timing and ear training just to name a few.
Thanks for the info about Ronnie, I had no idea he played with Edgar Winters, Van Morrison (Wild Nights) and Boz Scaggs very cool stuff.
You're a great teacher and make the riffs easy to follow. Keep it up. Love it.
Ronnie is so underrated its mind blowing
Was in to Montrose before anyone knew who they were ! LuvMotrose#1 !!!!!!!
Love your teaching style and video production.
You are rapidly becoming my favorite guitar instructor. Thanks for all these lessons!!
Dan, great job..you really nailed the song and tone.
Love it! Thanks for the vid. Too many "how to" vids on TH-cam take forever to GET TO THE POINT, and I love how this vid shows you the song first, before it goes into which finger goes on which fret. Wish more guitar vids did that.
Great tutorial on this epic tune! I had most licks many years ago, but would improve on the opening scratching pick slide that I never got to sound as explosively as he shows it here. Awesome.
One of the greatest rock songs ever. Thanks for breaking it down. Your Gary Moore stuff is great. R.I.P. both these greats. BTW they both played the same sunburst L.P. (A 59 I think?) It was stolen from Ronnie. One day Ronnie claims he saw Gary Moore playing i and contacted him about it. I wonder where it is now?
It's just a killer rock riff that should go down as at least top 20 rock riffs of all time !!
Dude, That's a really good lesson. Your approach is perfect.
great video , great playing , great tone
Super! Thanks. What a great simple tune with so many sweet advanced nuances. Thank again.
And thats where i learned my licks👍🎸✌
Looking for cool the engines. Boston. Hope you can show that one some day if you see this. Your the best on here for lessons. Thanks helping me on all the things I've learned here.
Hey...thanks for this, I didn't think I liked 70's rock music, but I think I do after all lol
Your info about Montrose is as great as your lessons. and that's saying a lot.
OK, that does it! First, The Boys are Back in Town, now this??? I wasn't expecting this one at all but saw it and couldn't click it fast enough! I just put my money where my mouth is and sent you a $20 donation for that one. Everyone else who enjoys these should do the same. Thanks again! 🤘
BRAVO!
Can't say ever seen you before but you know how to do it 🤘 that was killer man. I was just watching Neil play this with Sammy " unrehearsed" and seen that badass LP and had to click. Kickass 🤘 love Montrose
I hear a little bit of Robin Trower in there too, the fill after the E during the verse. 👍
I hear that to EC
Never heard this song... sounds great! Terrific tone and playing as usual. Awesome!
Great Job!!! Thank you!!! U Rock!!!
Nice work. Thanks -- you helped me figure out a couple things in this tune.
Oh now your talkin'!! Great song! Thanks for doing this!
Another great lesson! Right on the money. Thanks so much.
I've heard this song for over 30 years and I just now realized Hagar was on vocals.
Best lessons, great songs and en excellent guitar player. Love S.U.A.P 🎸👊🏻
Ross Uage loves it
great as always
I contribute , you should too ..... keep the site alive man .
Unbelievable!
Great lesson!
Hey dude you're a good teacher you have a good angle on the guitar and the fretboard you explain things well, you do a really good job, so thank you. Is there a part two to this song?? I feel there should be....
having just watched Sammy Hagar play this.... this is almost note perfect.....
Kick ass cover! 🎵😎
