I have to say great Tutorial.... the first time I heard the Outfield the week the 1st album came out, I bought it that day after work.....I played it so much it got to a point where after playing it so much I stopped listening to it.....and did not think about that much till maybe 20 yrs later.....now I can hear it and still enjoy the music.....
Man you are an awesome teacher! This is a tune that I happened to already reasonably well. But still, I find I pick up a little nuances so readily from your explanations. Always a treat! Much appreciated!
Outstanding, KDA! My best bud, the guitarist who got me into recently learning to play the instrument myself, was an Outfield fanatic. I was dragged to around 11 of the 'fielders' gigs across the U.S., including a couple of nights of debauchery afterwards with the band themselves in Port Huron, MI & Orlando, FL. RIP Tony & John - You guys rocked! Learning this one definitely will benefit me when ensemble noodling with our band. Thanks much and keep 'em coming!
Good lesson. “Had” to take my high school sweetheart to see these guys back in the day. Guilty pleasure, I guess. 😂 This band wasn’t quite a one hit wonder they had at least three, but I know what you mean. Thanks Kelly!
Ohhhhhh NICE! The waves of nostalgia are super thick on this one and your mining of deep cuts must be commended. Since You’ve Been Gone is another great one by these guys.
Great lesson. However the outfield were far from a one hit wonder band, this track hit number six on the US Hot 100, but they scored with four other top 40 hits in the States “all the love in the world” “since you’ve been gone” “voices of Babylon” which actually charted higher than “your love” on the US Rock chart and “for you”. This is a great song.
Yeah, when I think one hit wonder The Kings - Switching To Glide comes to mind. The Outfield really did have some other good songs like Say It Isn't So, All The Love. Were they hits .. maybe but not as big as Your Love.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar That's funny you mentioned that because up until a couple of years ago, I used to assume the same thing about a lot of good bands. That's the nice thing about TH-cam. Now when I rediscover a great song, I do a search for their other works and I'm often amazed how they actually have a number of solid albums (and of course other times I discover they really were one-hit wonders). 90% of the songs you feature are familiar to me and I always explore the other 10% since we have such similar taste. Are you familiar with The Good Rats? If not, check out songs like Does It Make You Feel Good, Ratcity In Blue, Taking It To Detroit, Victory In Space, School Days... Tons of great guitar!
Hi Kelly, I was just reading about these guys the other day. They were kids when they wrote this song and what a good song it was. The guys voice is good too. Thanks Kelly.
very cool. that album did have several really great songs. The Outfield sounded to me, like the Beatles meet the Police. Mystery Man?..I think that was another great tune
Lesson suggestion: something by Big Head Todd and the Monsters. The rhythm is straight forward and catchy. And solo work is full on Rock Blues. KDA Love your style of teaching and that you do the entire song!
I remember reading about the release of Play Deep from the perspective of the band. The thought was that the guitar in 1985 was dead as an instrument to produce hits. At that point in the 80s it was all about keyboards. Play Deep had 4 songs that charted in the US: Say it Isn't So, Your Love, All the Love and Everytime You Cry. The album was double platinum in the US and showed guitar based songs could still chart based on the strength of the song and the musicians. They wrote some very catchy music!
They had a lot more hits than just Your Love. The whole album was amazing, but sadly they never played the rest of them. The song Cherry really showed off his vocal chops. I still own all of their albums, one of my fav. bands.
Never heard anyone say these guys sounded like the police. The singer sounds nothing like Sting and has a way higher voice than Sting (Jon Anderson high type of voice). Also the guitar riffs sound nothing like Andy Summers would play and the rhythm is straight ahead rock which the Police did not do as much.

Cool story.

Thanks Kelly!
Looks like I’m behind on your lessons again, looking forward to checking out the Steely Dan and the Steve Earle 🤠
I have been looking for a lesson like this one for this song, Great Job!
Oh man, thanks so much for this one Kelly. Played this to death when it came out, I loved the singing as much as the guitar.
How ‘bout it? Like he’s forcing it and holding back at the same time. Brilliant vocal.
I’ve been listening to them since they hit the scene in the 90’s. Very talented musicians, it’s a shame the guitarist passed
The album came out in 1985 - single early 1986
Thank you. Great quick and easy lesson.
Great breakdown and great song 👍 Always loved this catchy song🎸😎
Great lesson. I got some great insight on those arpeggiated parts.
Ohhhhhh NICE! The waves of nostalgia are super thick on this one and your mining of deep cuts must be commended. Since You’ve Been Gone is another great one by these guys.
Thanks mate! All the major guitar tracks have been done to death here on TH-cam. I like to stay away from those for the most part.

This is a great song.
Agreed
Haha, I get this "one hit wonder" shit wrong almost every time I use it.
No worries brah, you deliver solid lessons and that's what matters.

Loved this song when it came out...had a cool video

Great video thanks 🎸

Nice tutorial my friend, can you do another song they had called since you’ve been gone
Lesson suggestion: something by Big Head Todd and the Monsters. The rhythm is straight forward and catchy. And solo work is full on Rock Blues. KDA Love your style of teaching and that you do the entire song!
Yes! Bittersweet please!!
Great job. I like to play the solo with double stops

BTW, the quick Solo on ( G-A ) can also use 3rds. Great lesson here.

KDA are you familiar with Tygers of Pan Tang? Early band of John Sykes with tons of great guitar driven songs.
Yes. Back in the day. Haven't heard that name in While however.
May I suggest you give a listen to the Story So Far from their Spellbound album? I think it is right up your alley.
Great lesson thank you very much... I have to laugh with myself at how I made the song harder for myself.
Third!
I thought they were Australian all this time
Me too. So much so I just googled it!

Outfield are far from being a one hit wonder.
