Thank you ! I grew up and live on the BC border of Washington state and am probably the most Canadian American you’ll know. There is so much good Canadian music that people don’t know about…
You are now an offically welcomed Immigrant, a "Sanctuary Seeker' whoo needs Good Music! Jump across, get out of the Crazy Town America has become. You're a Hoser now!!
Another Canadian classic .......... hard to find great tutorials doing Canadian songs. Ever thing about doing Barney Bentall .... Something to Live For ????
Hugely popular in the Midwest of the United States back in the day, and it still gets some play on occasion. Great timing on this lesson and topic as I re-watched the movie Vision Quest just a couple of weeks ago for the first time since the 1980s. Great job on this, have a good weekend.
Wow... You mean to tell me that for 30 plus years one of my FAVORITE Pink Floyd songs was, in fact, NOT Pink Floyd?!😂 Well I guess that explains why I never could find it on any of THEIR albums... Further Proof that you're NEVER Too old to learn... Thank You Kelly!
Excellent, teacher you really rock. This actually entertained us! I learn songs all the time and my wife loves to jamb but she never gets all the way through a guitar lesson. You had it all the way! Thanks
Got a lot of airplay back in the 80's on the "rock" station I picked up out of Pittsburgh, even before Tom Cochrane had his mainstream hit "Life is a Highway". Love this song.
NIce background and lesson Kelly - this has always been my favourite Red Rider song. Such a great riff and all those different chord progressions sound so wonderful. Really like your take on that slide solo too! Bookmarking this one for future study and practice. BTW, congrats on hitting the 40K mark! ☺ 🐸
Thanks man! Been a long slog to 40,000 haha. 5 years. But we're picking up steam lately. A few videos (one that's 2 years old) have gone somewhat viral and have boosted my channel significantly over the past 2 months. This keeps up we'll hit that hundred thou number next year I hope.
Great job! This song paints such an amazing soundscape. That 'slide' guitar solo is brutal! I just got actual goosebumps as you played through it! Just fantastic!
I was born in canada to us parents in military and raised in S C USA but this song was a big hit through my teen years and have always loved it esp the break down and lead , it brings back great memories and fun as hell to play , thank you for reminding me of a great song
Perfect lesson! Love this song. Had no idea how some of this was played before watching. Seems accessible now! Thanks for sharing! Nice slide work too!
Hello Kelly, This feed just popped up here and as soon a I saw the song you're teaching I had to have a peak... This song was on so much back in the early 80's ( New Yorker here ) and it's a real cool song too, thanks for doing this. Just subbed your channel of course! Thanks again, Tommy~
Great song, awesome tutorial! And long overdue. Every guitar teacher/instructor here on YT should follow how you deliver the goods. Already hit the subscribe. As all should. Cheers!
Thank you for the explanation Kelly, this has always been a favorite of mine. I remember hearing it when I was a freshman in 81. You definitely earned my sub sir. Thank you for such a great job. Keep up the tremendous work! 🙂
Excellent video thank you so much for doing it. I've been searching for a lesson on this tune for a while and could never find one that sounded and felt good. I was a high school wrestler in the '90s and this song was on The vision quest movie soundtrack. I know I've listened to this song over a thousand times.
That song was in heavy rotation on WMMS in Cleveland back in the early 80's! Thanks for the lesson - I've been working on Ah Leah lately (same era - easy power chords) so this will fit right in.
Thanks KDA! I heard this on "Miami Vice" back in the 80s and it always haunted me for years until I found out what it was and got hold of a copy. Now I'm well on the way to playing it. Simple enough, but lots of practice required to get the smoothness and flow down properly. Great lesson sir! Really enjoying your channel. All the best from the UK. :-)
I wanted to learn this song and not surprised at all that you have a lesson on it. Glad I subscribed to your channel a few years ago. Another great lesson. I need to work on more of your songs.
Yes, a great song (I must be in that demographics group too!) and a great lesson - not so difficult when it is well taught, as you so often do. And the slide solo as well! Much appreciated as always!
EXCELLENT!! YOU SURELY KNOW HOW TO PLAY THAT ONE TOO!! ONE OF MY FAVORITES THANKS!!! Kelly, you seem to be a pretty cool dude. Canada a? I'm an old guitar player from Texas who just found you tonight. Third video & I will be subscribing!
An actual playthrough would be so very helpful for those maybe a little more advanced and able to get a handle on it if they can see it played. Thanks....appreciate you efforts and your guitar playing. :D
Like And subscribe. Thank you for that excellent lesson. I saw a Red Ryder open for Foreigner in the late 70s early 80s can't remember exactly LOL... most excellent bands.
Just a minor correction on the ending. At 4 minutes and 11 seconds on the recording he hits the first chord four times instead of two. He does that just the one time.
Hey man, I saw one of your videos a few years back about you modding your Donner DST and I have the exact same guitar and am looking to start modding it aswell. I was wondering where you found that black pickguard that fit the guitar perfectly since I dont know wether the fender stratocaster ones online could fit mine? Thanks man you just gained a new subscriber!
kelly, ive noticed your last few videos the guitar is low and very thin sounding. Not being critical but your vids have never sounded like this. Anyway great lesson as usual .

Love this song in the movie Vision Quest!
Yes! That's all I think of when I hear this song! Gooch!
When that song was on the radio I couldn’t help but crank it up really loud
Another Canadian classic .......... hard to find great tutorials doing Canadian songs. Ever thing about doing Barney Bentall .... Something to Live For ????

Great job on this, have a good weekend.
Very popular tune here in Texas during the early 80's

Grew up in the metro Detroit area. Always loved Canadian music.
Excellent, teacher you really rock. This actually entertained us! I learn songs all the time and my wife loves to jamb but she never gets all the way through a guitar lesson. You had it all the way! Thanks
All the way down here by Nawlins' (New Orleans) this was a huge hit with us rocking people. Great song.
It was a hit here in the US to ….still one of my favorites today. The entire album is awesome. Was stoked to find a lesson for it .
Got a lot of airplay back in the 80's on the "rock" station I picked up out of Pittsburgh, even before Tom Cochrane had his mainstream hit "Life is a Highway". Love this song.
Excellent guitar playin' & coachin' right there...Thank you...🤘🎸🤘
Great lesson! I never thought about trying to play this song, even though I grew up appreciating it….I will play it now!
Thank you
Thats for the refresher on Lunatic Fringe. always loved that song back in the day. Never learned to play it till now "Thanks"
The rock stations in California used to play this a lot, but I never knew they were Canadian. Learn something new every day + another iconic song.
My buddy won the Life is a Highway Single Cd at Dollywood in Sevierville Tn circa early 90s!
By far the most accurate and comprehensive tutorial. Thank you!
NIce background and lesson Kelly - this has always been my favourite Red Rider song. Such a great riff and all those different chord progressions sound so wonderful.

You always pull out those forgotten gems. Thanks man

Thanks chipper!
I freaking grew up with this song. It plays on lical FM radio in TN USA since I was a kid. Tom Cochrane is sick!
You speak my language. Thank you. btw....I saw Red Rider open for RUSH 2 nights in a row at the Maple Leaf Garden in 84.
I bought that album when it first came out in the USA. Love it. And Toms voice.
Right on KDA! Your an awesome teacher!
Thanks for this man, great work!
great lesson clear and perfect speed to learn ,thanks I'm subscribed now!
Always wanted to learn this one Kelly, thanks for the lesson and happy long weekend !

A great song ! Appreciate you sharing this instructional lesson with us. One I will definitely learn !
Excellent video thank you so much for doing it. I've been searching for a lesson on this tune for a while and could never find one that sounded and felt good. I was a high school wrestler in the '90s and this song was on The vision quest movie soundtrack. I know I've listened to this song over a thousand times.
One of the first songs I learned how to play when I got my first guitar some 45 years ago. LOL Great lesson! Nice to revisit it.
That song was in heavy rotation on WMMS in Cleveland back in the early 80's! Thanks for the lesson - I've been working on Ah Leah lately (same era - easy power chords) so this will fit right in.
Thanks, never thought of playing this before. It's a Great Song. 🙂👍

This song brings me back to my Miami Vice days...wow! 😊
Authentic & outstanding, thanks so much.

Yes, a great song (I must be in that demographics group too!) and a great lesson - not so difficult when it is well taught, as you so often do. And the slide solo as well! Much appreciated as always!
Excellent. Love the Canadian classics.
Classic track. Love it❤
Thank you for uploading this. It’s a classic!! I love it!
Just found your channel, what a fantastic teacher👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Fantastic….I’ve always loved this song…great jam👍
Not to be that guy but this song doesn't fade out. It actually has an awesome, power-chord laden ending.
Great lesson. I was just listening to their album Don't Fight It earlier this week.
EXCELLENT!! YOU SURELY KNOW HOW TO PLAY THAT ONE TOO!! ONE OF MY FAVORITES THANKS!!! Kelly, you seem to be a pretty cool dude. Canada a? I'm an old guitar player from Texas who just found you tonight. Third video & I will be subscribing!
Great lesson love it.thank you
Awesome! KDA!🎸🔥🙏
Was as hard core as anything back in 1981. Great tune
An actual playthrough would be so very helpful for those maybe a little more advanced and able to get a handle on it if they can see it played. Thanks....appreciate you efforts and your guitar playing. :D
Excellent.
Very good job. Awesome
Cool lesson I thought the slide sounded great. I just subscribed Thanks
dude u nailed it
Loved this song and Cowboys in Hong Kong. Maybe a lesson on Greg Kuhn Band - Breakup Song. Another fun sing.
Awesome job Thank you
60+ American and hell yes I know this song!
Great job, thanks!
Hey, thanks so much!!
Like And subscribe. Thank you for that excellent lesson. I saw a Red Ryder open for Foreigner in the late 70s early 80s can't remember exactly LOL... most excellent bands.
Classic!!
I love your song selections, we are about the same age and have similar tastes, I'm not Canadian though eh. :) Thanks for all the lessons!
Woah Kelly!! congrats on hitting 40K subscribers!!!!!!! Well deserved!!!!!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks man! Yep, kind of nice. Had an old video go viral the past month. Really gave me a boost.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar - Outstanding, which one??
@@CC-qb9sm th-cam.com/video/piM2_tv-k0s/w-d-xo.html
This Gary Moore lick video.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar - Wow! That was an amazing lesson! I can see why it went viral!
@@CC-qb9sm lots of complaints about talking too much, haha. That's kind of my thing!
Louden Swayne!!! Nice Kelly
It was every high school wrestling team's entrance music in the 80s and 90s in my area
Awesome!!! Thanks.
"Great jam!"
I first heard this song in Mindhunters
A pedal steel guitar was mainly use in this song, Even in the lead solo guitar.
Great tune and thanks for sharing.can you do some Jethro Tull like Aqua Lung, or anything else of your choice.
Just a minor correction on the ending. At 4 minutes and 11 seconds on the recording he hits the first chord four times instead of two. He does that just the one time.
Thanks! Great lesson. What can you play behind the solo??
Hey man,
I saw one of your videos a few years back about you modding your Donner DST and I have the exact same guitar and am looking to start modding it aswell. I was wondering where you found that black pickguard that fit the guitar perfectly since I dont know wether the fender stratocaster ones online could fit mine?
Thanks man you just gained a new subscriber!
Awesome lesson and song. Is that the 245 you're playing Sir ?
Great tune, Any Headpins ?
Great album white hot 🔥
Do you know what the lap steel was tuned to?
This song is so much better than Life is a highway. That song gets on my nerves.
Canada Pride lol. Yes it was a huge hit in the USA. If you're over 50 you've heard it...not mainly Canada. Too funny, man.
kelly, ive noticed your last few videos the guitar is low and very thin sounding. Not being critical but your vids have never sounded like this. Anyway great lesson as usual .
👏👏👏👏👍👍
Sweet lookin watch. what is it?
Fossil
Tom Cochrane doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
BTW, the first time I heard “Lunatic Fringe” I thought it was Pink Floyd.
its a steel guitar on the solo
