New Values is a real pop and/or melodic rock oddity in the Iggy Pop canon. Every song on it, from New Values to 5" 1', is full of great guitar riffs, great song arrangements, rich backing vocals, harmonies and even the beautiful ballad (!) Angel is an absolute masterpiece of production, with Thurston's gritty mixture of piano and slide guitar. Scott Thurston really is a talented, much underrated multi-faceted musician. New Values is awesome. When Iggy has some versatile musicians on his albums, that's when you get a Lust For Life, The Idiot and...New Values!
You know it's simple but it's kinda hard to figure out so thank you for doing this. I kept playing what i call Keith Richards chords and it was close but not quite there. You the man dawg!
The other guitarist on that OGWT performance, is Jackie Clark, and he's playing a 1970s Ovation, either a Deacon or, a Breadwinner. Also through a Marshall stack.
I was smiling ear-to-ear when I saw this lesson...then the idea of you ripping off your shirt made me choke on my coffee. Thanks for putting this out there.
New Values has always been my favourite Iggy album. The guitar solo from "I'm bored" is one of those musical moments that always stops me doing what I'm doing. Great stuff, thanks for uploading this!
Ace song! Being mega pedantic, the title of the video is a great example of why punctuation works. Witness "Im Bored by Iggy Pop", versus "I'm Bored, by Iggy Pop". I glanced at the title and read the first meaning, at first; then realised the Channel, and immediately clicked back into shape - hehe. Great video, as usual :)
Brilliant, I was going to request this. One of my favourite tunes of all times and such an excellent riff. I almost had it worked out, but thanks for showing the details and timing and feel. Amazing how you keep covering all the best songs, you have great taste!
If you're taking requests, I've always wanted to learn "Sixteen" from Lust for Life. One of those I could probably figure out if I gave it enough time, but I'd never get it to sound as dirty and mean as it does on the record.
Thank you for all the wonderful lessons! I remember you doing a captain beef heart lesson, would it be possible to do a captain beef heart im glad lesson please. Keep up the good work.
I’ve seen photos from those recording session where Scott is tracking on an early 70s strat and a tweed champ painted red. Your sound is really close though great job, Adrian!
Great lesson for an underrated track. This and your lesson on Love Comes in Spurts are among my favourites you’ve done. I thought the solo was going to be more difficult but your breakdown of it made it a lot easier. It will still take a while to play it at normal speed though! Even though I’ve been playing for 30+ years I’m still finding new things to learn to improve my playing from teachers like you. Do you have any tips on tremolo picking? I find it difficult to maintain consistent attack and speed. Also, who the hell gave this lesson a thumbs down?
Thanks Adrian, another stunning lesson! I've almost nailed it...just needs a bit more practice on getting that tricky solo up to speed. A lesson on "Bitching" by the Stranglers would be great (check out Hugh Cornwell's great solo)
Adrian you’re the only man in the world with better musical taste than me. Please consider some of the more whacky Talking Heads songs. Thank you for the great song lessons.
Many thanks ,great lesson,great song, how about the Monochrome sets He"s Frank which was covered a few years ago by Iggy & Fatboy slim as the BPA, In fact any Monochrome set song would be welcome cheers!
I love The Monochrome Set, they really were influential to me. Melodies and lyrical content were sublime. How they never became massive I still can't figure. Edited because of the effects of alcohol 😄
This has been a favourite of mine for years. And it’s only just occurred to me that it has a similar tone and feel to the Rolling Stones’ 19th Nervous Breakdown.... thoughts?
Love this album and song. I believe that he filmed a music video for this song at the NZ House of Parliament - "The Beehive". I think it's an "alternative" music video to the one most folks know.
Hi Adrian thanks alot for all your videos Was wondering if you could give tutorials on the sound band (uk post punk) it's my favorite band and would be much appreciated
On that OGWT performance, Scott Thurston is playing a modified Gibson Melody Maker (1962 or 1963?) with two PAF humbuckers. Not sure about the tailpiece mod.
Would you consider doing a Soft Boys song at some point? I've had Pigworker on heavy rotation for a week now. If I weren't so lazy I'd make a serious attempt myself... and it would be better for me, I know. But it also wouldn't be as accurate as what you do.
Adrian continuing to teach me songs I never knew I wanted to learn.
Wow that tone is bang on. Exactly like the live show on the OGWT in 1979

The bassist on the 1979 OGWT performance, Glen Matlock, is playing a 1960 Gibson EBO.

Thurston played his heart out on that album; I remember buying it in vinyl as soon as it hit the racks back in '79...helluva job, Adrian...
Thurston?
SCOTT Thurston - who eventually became a member of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.
HELL YES! Have loved this song since '80!
New Values has always been my favourite Iggy album. The guitar solo from "I'm bored" is one of those musical moments that always stops me doing what I'm doing. Great stuff, thanks for uploading this!
What I love about this is the run though that you do at the start. Thus, making it about the song and not you. Really good stuff mate.
that wee linking bit is excellent and the way it goes into the riff is magic
ya best lesson ever! Thurston and Williamson and Asheton all masters of the Pentatonic!
Excellent. Would love to see 5 foot 1 also! Love the guitar on this album and did not know it wasn't Williamson.
One of my favorite Iggy tunes of all time!
Your lessons make me happy.
Always killing it. That intro was great . Thanks for making this.
Man, whenever I think of a cool song I’d like to learn, it’s always you that’s got it. Thanks for everything Adrian.
"New Values" -- Iggy's most underrated solo LP.
Still got it on cassette,survived many a car stereo!
As well as one of his greatest solo lps.
Absolutely agree with you
Oh yea!
Even if it does have African Man on it lmao
Another superb song and lessons..
You pick the best songs.
As always, I enjoy your sense of humor! Once again a fantastic choice for a lesson, so good! Thank you and have a great weekend!
Messy playing - the one technique that seems to come naturally to me. Thanks for the lesson, great stuff!
dude this channel is so underrated, it’s the best
Crazy album. Do a title track lesson next ;)
Love a bit of iggy pop and the stooges.......thanks adrian 👍👍👍
NICE !!! Simple but absolutely brimming with filth and rock n roll attitude. Kind of funky
Thank you so much for covering Iggy Pop!!! I would love to hear more Siouxsie and Iggy! Really great rendition!
Another great selection. Thank you.
This is a real gem of a song, esp. the Thurston's guitar...great work on your channel!
Good job. A great rendition of an obscure but amazing song.
I must say that's awesome thanks
New values was the HUGE album for him among the early punk to 80's scene......and I love your Island sense of humor!!!!!

Mate, such great taste. Cheers for this, your lessons always get me playing!
Awesome & very funny. Great job!!!!
Excellent Adrian, this song has been going around in my playlist of late. "I'm president of the bored." 🍻😜
Chairman of the bored!
Smörgåsbored.
Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.Greetings from Italy!
Thanks for this Adrian. All time favourite and superb riffage in this tune. Bangin!
Go, Adrian!! You're creeping up on 200k subs!! Great video as well!! Cheers, mate!! :)
Great video lesson Adrian, Nice!
Cheers!
It is a wonderful guitar part. I heard it and instantly lliked the tune... Nice job and thanks for doing this one.
Brilliant. Thanks for showing how to play all these great songs!
Great! Never bored of Iggy.
Brilliant song and even better lesson, thanks again Adrian.
Not only do you like John McGeoch but Scott Thurston as well. Impeccable taste 👌
I dig your style and killer taste! I'm Bored's one of my most favorite songs. I always thought it had a "Jumpin' Jack Flash" element.
Another awesome play thru. The first one I saw was your Dead Kennedy’s play thru. Subscribed!
Great job - always loved this solo and you broke it down nicely.
Well done . Great tone great technique .
Brilliant mate. Another favourite song from my youth! Thank You!🙂🙂
If you're taking requests, I've always wanted to learn "Sixteen" from Lust for Life. One of those I could probably figure out if I gave it enough time, but I'd never get it to sound as dirty and mean as it does on the record.
The best I've heard you play . Excellent lesson . Cheers .
Very accurate lesson!Thank you very much!
super great thx ... formidable
Thank you for all the wonderful lessons! I remember you doing a captain beef heart lesson, would it be possible to do a captain beef heart im glad lesson please. Keep up the good work.
Love it! This is one of my favorite Iggy tunes!!!
Scott Thurston! Yay!
You have a great taste in music ;)
Great! Thanks. This track is amazing!
Excellent choice Adrian
Taps aff! Brilliant as always. Annoyingly TH-cam not notifying me of your new vids
I’ve seen photos from those recording session where Scott is tracking on an early 70s strat and a tweed champ painted red. Your sound is really close though great job, Adrian!

I find it difficult to maintain consistent attack and speed.
Also, who the hell gave this lesson a thumbs down?
Flippin heck that was top drawer!
Always love hearing about the gear you're using too! 🎸
Awesome tune, cheers!
Irving Stone Lust for Life 🎸 Really great guitar!!!!!!
Excellent!
Nice gear Adrian!!!!
Thanks Adrian, another stunning lesson! I've almost nailed it...just needs a bit more practice on getting that tricky solo up to speed. A lesson on "Bitching" by the Stranglers would be great (check out Hugh Cornwell's great solo)
Time for some Bernard Butler era Suede, Adrian?
You nailed it bro! P.s. I always thought it was Williamson on guitar on New Values. (Apparently he did play on "Don't Look Down").
Adrian you’re the only man in the world with better musical taste than me. Please consider some of the more whacky Talking Heads songs. Thank you for the great song lessons.
You are great, nice sounds and punkrock
Many thanks ,great lesson,great song, how about the Monochrome sets He"s Frank which was covered a few years ago by Iggy & Fatboy slim as the BPA, In fact any Monochrome set song would be welcome cheers!
plus one for this request.
I love The Monochrome Set, they really were influential to me. Melodies and lyrical content were sublime. How they never became massive I still can't figure.
Edited because of the effects of alcohol 😄
Alphaville and 605 Lines are my Monochrome Set faves. Great band.
Who's the guitarist playing the Ovation Deacon on that performance on OGWT?
Gracias por el video 🏅👍
This has been a favourite of mine for years. And it’s only just occurred to me that it has a similar tone and feel to the Rolling Stones’ 19th Nervous Breakdown.... thoughts?
I play the song with my Les Paul Jr. w/a P90, through an original '72 20w Fender Bronco amp turned all the way up with a little intensity and reverb.
Thank you so much for this :)
Love this album and song. I believe that he filmed a music video for this song at the NZ House of Parliament - "The Beehive". I think it's an "alternative" music video to the one most folks know.
I thought that was Super Hans in the thumbnail, here I was expecting a lesson a classic Man Feelings tune.
Hi Adrian thanks alot for all your videos
Was wondering if you could give tutorials on the sound band (uk post punk) it's my favorite band and would be much appreciated
Man this is awesome! Please tell me you will be doing a few songs from this album?! Please do New Values next :)
Fantastic song selection, continuing the Iggy / Stooges legacy 🤘
Great stuff Adrian .. any chance of doing Raw Power ?
What a wonderful idea to do a lesser known song by Iggy. Tnx for that. Are the hairdressers in the UK closed too? (as they are, again, in Belgium) 🙄
Lesser known? I beg to differ.
Looking Good Adrian
I think it's time for another Smiths song. Any chance of doing Barbarism Begins At Home?
Ooohh...nice.
On that OGWT performance, Scott Thurston is playing a modified Gibson Melody Maker (1962 or 1963?) with two PAF humbuckers. Not sure about the tailpiece mod.
Nice chair !
Not watched the actual lesson yet, but great track and great playing!!
Next, New Values the Song !!!
A part 2 for greatest Ron Asheton riffs?
Please do Munchies for your love - bootsy Collins
Would you consider doing a Soft Boys song at some point?
I've had Pigworker on heavy rotation for a week now. If I weren't so lazy I'd make a serious attempt myself... and it would be better for me, I know. But it also wouldn't be as accurate as what you do.
Me too.
Could you do any The Kills lesson?
