- In this video I demonstrate how to play the song Comin' Under Fire by Def Leppard. This is a great track off the band's album Pyromania and features some excellent riffs from Steve Clark. Steve had a dark and brooding style that was the heart of Def Leppard and was an essential part of their style and sound. Mutt Lange worked with the band on this album and helped orchestrate and co-wrote parts that interwove Steve's guitar style and his rock/pop sensibilities that was unrivaled buy most bands of that generation. We are very fortunate to have these albums and songs to listen back to and enjoy. There will never be another player like Steve Clark. I hope you enjoy the video. Please subscribe!

Steve Clark was one of the most underrated guitarist ever. You can tell and hear what he contributed to the band. After he died they lost the leppard punch that we all know from the Clark era. He will always be my favorite guitar hero, RIP Steve. Marty, I knew you were smart and I appreciate how Steve is your idol. Cheers 👍🍺🍺
I saw the same SiriusXM performance, and wanted to find a lesson! Boom, here I am! Great lesson 😎🤘
I was just a teenager when High and dry came out. I still think its my favorite. But pyromania was a solid favorite also. Back then we listened in cars driving around town. I was in another room cleaning when I heard this video coming on. And I swear the tone made me come back to see if Mastodon more than I could chew was playing. I was surprised they were so close in tone. That guitar sounds fantastic. Thanks to the algorithm for bringing it here.
If only they (any band that calls itself rock) wrote songs like this nowadays. This song has always been killer. I think without Pyromania and Metal Health, there would have been no hair band strip from '86-91. Nice job, Marty!
Imo, Steve and Pete are one of the most underrated guitar duos of all time. Phil was solid too, I just really loved Steve and Pete together. Those first 2 albums had so much swagger and attitude all over em.
To me that's one thing that makes Pyromania so special - the one and only album that includes all three of them.
Steve Clark was an absolute effing genius at writing those riffs with chords that, while only using 2 or 3 notes, sounded bigger and more complicated than they actually were. The undertones and overtones associated with distortion had a lot to do with that, but so did the rhythmic component.
There was a philosophy prevalent at the time that if you were using distortion you should stay away from 2nds, 3rds, 6ths and 7ths because the exaggerated harmonics of the overdrive would clash and be too dissonant. Root-5th power chords were supposed to be the way to go. You were supposed to stay away from "jazz" chords if you were overdriving your tone. Thankfully Steve Clark and some others ignored this and wrote some helluva killer rock riffs.
Great video, great lesson. Way to go, dude.
your an inspiration brother! I'm so busy with work and life in general and when I haven't touched any of my guitars in months I play one of your vids and I blow the dust of my guitars and play again! sucks getting old and not being able to play guitar as much as I want to, keep rockin' 🤟
Just another AMAZING video Marty!Loving the channel and lessons for sure. You can never go wrong with Def Leopard! I was lucky enough to catch them live last Friday in Toronto. Appreciate YOU!
I love hearing you give Steve Clark props!! He and Phil were such a tandem, and Def Leppard was NEVER the same after he died!
By the way, Def Leppard finally played this song live on a Sirius XM show.......arguably my fav song from them!
Great video and breakdown of the guitar parts. I also seen them on the sirious radio performance. I cannot believe that song was not more popular and more pushed out as a single! because it is damn good!
Well done Marty…Steve Clark is one of my favorites 👍
Awesome deep track. One of my top5 albums in my life
I love this song. One of the best rock albums ever.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Pyromania is their best, so much better than Hysteria
Def Leppard haven’t been the same since Steve passed. They were incredible when he was alive. I have everything from Leppard on physical media but I really only listen to the first 4 or 5 albums.
Same here man!
Mutt Lange was the biggest influence of change in the band. He added the commercialism that wasn’t as evident in “High and Dry”. That said, I still luv all their albums.
@@jimmcdougall9973you know he produced that album?
@@frasiercraine1776 yes. But didn’t use his influence to the same extent. I have had many conversations with him. We went to the same university and have kept touch.
I’m a Northern Ireland boy and love Steve but have to give a nod to Vivian who was influenced by Gary Moore who was influenced by Rory Gallagher 👍
Like your channel buddy 😊 Big fan of Steve clark too. My first guitar I purchased was a dark brown Standard Les Paul that Steve played. He inspired me too. Note I have some of my gear in pawn shop now uggh lol 😂✌️. You could telll Def Leppard was headed for greatness. Even at young age 💯🎸
Huge fan of anything Def Leppard ! Keep em coming !
Come to think of it Buckethead’s “soothsayer” intro sounds a lot like the starting riffs of this one ! Maybe he got some inspiration from Steve ?
I'll check it out!
Outstanding Marty, chops and tone are spot on, thanks for the lesson. RIP Steve Clark.
Thanks a million man! 🎸🎸
Went back and learned this gem after hearing the live show too! Great song!
You nailed it once again! Great lesson Marty 🤘🏻. I’ve always loved this song too. There’s just something about the old Leppard songs that kicks ass. To me, their best songs are with Steve Clark. He always brought the dark and edgy sound to their music. Keep up the great work. Thanks again for teaching us this classic rock masterpiece.
You're very welcome man. Pyromania is such a dark masterpiece. A riff gold mine 😎🤟🏻
monster album / killer song
I just watched another video you made and now I'm subscribed. Very good instruction. I love the 1st 3 Def Leppard albums and Hysteria too it's just a bit pop for my liking and they kind of lost their edge IMO. Steve Clark is my favorite guitar player and Pyromania came out when I was 10 and all people were talking about was Def Leppard. That summer there was 1 of those compilation rock cassettes and the commercial had just a clip of Rock of Ages and that's the song that got me. Then, I got into High N Dry and then of course On Through the Night. From 1983 to 1986 I think I played Pyromania every day. I listened to other stuff too but I actually wore out 2 Pyromania cassettes. When I asked my mom to buy me Pyromania she was like I already got you that tape. I had to explain to her that it was wore out and the wheels or spools of the tape wouldn't spin anymore. That happened twice. So of the 100 million albums Def Leppard sold I bought 4 Pyromanias because I needed it CD as well and 2 High N dry's and 2 On Through The Nights because you know cassette and then later CD. You're welcome.
Thanks for subbing man! Glad you like the content. Man, bands in the 70's and 80's had it made with record sales. Think of how many albums were sold due to getting in on vinyl. Then cassette. Then cd. Now digital. And also all the times we had a tape get eaten or broke and had to buy again! lol. 😂
Hell yeah! I’m so elated that everyone is talking about this song since they played it live a few days ago. Steve was a badass and this was some of his best. Love the vids, man 🤘🖤
Great job 👏
Thank you Marty, great explanation of this great track. Did not realise the late Steve Clark was an influence, definitely the reason I picked up the guitar.
I’ve had this song in my head for a week now. Thanks,I guess it will still be there next week. By the way, I put a down payment on the very same Explorer last year. I got myself into a pickle. It cost more money than I could afford. I was also saving money for some work on my Bronco. I had to tell my wife,who is very understanding on my guitar purchases and Ford Bronco needs. But I had to “Let it go”
Many thanks, one of my favorites! I needed this little pick me up today.
The tuning is slighty less than standard to my ear and via the tuner on my Helix LT just saying , awesome lesson great Def Leppard tune ,keep up the great work !!!!!!!
Saw them on that tour they killed it the first couple albums were the best im a big fan of the Pete and Steve era of Def Leppard as well great job Marty i know I wore that cassette out at least 2 or 3 times those were some of the best times in my youth 😂 🤘👽
Great video! Thanks! Classic Lepp was 🔥! One of my favorite tracks off that record!
Looks like those strings are wrapped around …….whoa that’s cool I just asked about that. Great lesson. Love the Def Lep
Great lesson! Love the vintage Leppard era! Thanks Marty!
Awesome lesson ! Love all of the little nuances !
Fantastic Marty...thats great. I love your work. Thank you very much. Greets from Bavaria,Germany
Nice one! I've got Pyromania spinning in the car, the 40th anniversary version and I reckon this is probably my favourite track as well. Cheers!
I watched the same special you were referring to, Billy’s Got A Gun one of my favorites. I enjoy your channel. Thx.
Thank you for that Marty 👍🏼 very helpful.
Thanks Marty! Haven't heard that one in quite a while!
Marty and the analogue metronome 🤟
Great lesson and that amp sounds great!
Saw them opening for Billy Squire and Krokus in April '83 in Ames, IA...
I saw Def Leopard, Krokus, and Gary Moore in early 1985 Fayetteville, NC. Yea I'm getting old lol.
What amp are you playing? Nice crunch!!!! Awesome lesson!!!
Interested as well about the amp/pedal used?
Excellent work ❤
Takes me back to 1983/84 and MTV - when it was worth a shit. That 3 year span of 1983/84/85 had some of the best music of the entire 8O’s decade - esp. for Classic Heavy Metal and Hard Rock/Rock and Pop , for that matter. Pyromania was in everybody’s rotation list - excellent album . There’s a lot of great straight ahead Rock riffs throughout the album . And yea : Steve Clarke had such a presence in the band and the songs
Saw a video of leppard playing this live in a small studio a few days ago and it sounded like one of the guitars was using volume swell on the verse chords. I'll have to dig the album out and see if its the same on there.
Cool! Hope you weren't mad at fuzzy guitar comments? Just having fun! Thanks 🤘 Marty 😊
cool
Great video. I love the style you use to show us how to play. Do you think you could do a lesson on: "Love Walks In" by Van Halen?
Nice shirt, broheem 🤘
Pyromania was Steve Clarks masterpiece. People kerp talking about Pete this and that. Its widely known and out there for everyone to see that Steve was the primary heavy hitter in the band. Pete was a good rhythm player but most of what you hear is Steve and Rick Savage too.
Steve brought the pain man. You can hear it in the riffs. It's just got that sound.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalkerdefinitely. Even with their b sides off of retro active "desert song" and "fractured love". They're just moody... You feel those riffs. Almost cinematic like a movie score.
@@frasiercraine1776
Here you go, your Wrong when you say Pete was just a good rhythm guitar player. He actually was the 1 that help write the songs and was 1 of the founders of the band. This is just off of " On Through The Night "
Rock Brigade = Pete
Hello America = Steve
It could be You = Pete
Sorrow is a Woman = 1st Solo is Steve, 2nd Pete, 3rd is both of them.
Satellite =Pete main solo, Steve the ride out.
When the walls come tumblin down = Steve
Wasted = Steve
Answer to the Master = 1st Steve, 2nd Pete
Overture = 1st and 2nd solos are Steves, 3rd is Pete, the 4th is Steve
" High n Dry " got even better as they traded licks and solos. Do your research, it's out there.
@@bentheredonethat-lx6nhyou're getting solos confused with actual writing music. There's plenty of resources out there that talk about Steve's part in the band. Not discrediting Pete, but he may have been a factor early but it was Steve's work that helped catapult them. What did Pete do outside of Leppard? Id say if he was that influential he would have done something of substance. He didn't. He went in a band that tried to sound like Hysteria era def Leppard.
@@frasiercraine1776
Pete was the co-founder. Your confused
DEATH WISH COFFEE? Where did you get that Shirt?
Oly?
That's a great guitar tone. What are you using to get that tone?
Thanks! Fractal Ax8 - Friedman BE model and Friedman IR's. In stereo. A little dab of stereo delay, chorus and reverb added via ProTools during recording/mix.
Hi how are you dude rock on l am learning to play guitar basic power chords.
Enjoy
You get out what you put in enjoy your journey 🤘
great but the second part of the riff is a little different
A lot of Pyro's riffs were still Pete.
Yeh, he was great.
They were not. Steve did the majority of the guitar work for pyromania. It's fact.
@@frasiercraine1776 Phil says otherwise. But I appreciate your opinion.
@@mikeday6908actually I'm not wrong. You're referring to Phil talking about Pete's rhythm parts. There are plenty of old interviews and it's in their book "animal instinct". Someone else can write a guitar part and another plays it. It happens quite frequently. I'm not knocking Pete in any way but most of pyromania was Steve.
Let me spend a few words about Joào Fèlix... Namastè.
Obviously Dokken was influenced heavily by this with "in my dreams"
You could have saved us the history lesson and just got into the song. SMH.
Epiphone?...😂
Nothing wrong with them, I've had several that where great. Must be your inner guitar snob.🙃
@@chriskitchen4772 I wouldn't be caught dead holding an Epiphone let alone playing one it in front of viewers. If you can't afford the real thing (Gibson) then save your money until you can afford one. Don't just buy a knock off version. I feel embarrassed for this guy. He looks so pathetic with that guitar. I couldn't even watch all the way through the video.
Epiphone sucks. Play it on stage and get ready to be hit with insults, jokes and tomatoes.
@@AVdfhj I'm really hoping you're trolling
