Yeah, you're definitely right.I'm a guitar player myself.I remember when the song came out and it was fantastic.I loved the Guitar Center.Yeah , it affected everybody , you're right , bud anyways , thanks
I lived across the street from James in Los Angeles for a period of time before he died. My kid played with his a kid once or twice. I never put it together that he was who he was until after his death. I also lived in SF in the 80s and saw James play with Chris Isaak a couple times.
I remember this song most from driving home to Houston fromLos Angeles, multiple radio stations were playing this through the night as we drove through the desert areas under the beautiful stars. Just a moment in time.
One of the all-time greatest songs about love found and lost. The guitar expressed this to perfection. It's a classic people will listen to a hundred years from now.
If you’ve never seen him live I cannot recommend Chris Isaac enough. That dude puts on a freaking show. Wasn’t expecting too much but was astounded how hard they work and how good they sound live. A must!!!
James Wilsey was a great guitarist with awesome feel and a really cool guy, basically said here, but that I do remember about him. He helped put Chris Isaak on the map.
Yes, you’re the first one Ive seen show new players what I call “slop” that we all do, between chord changes sometimes, but a new player may not realize that we do it. We all do it, but nobody remembers things like that may need to be shown to a new player. Thank you for being real and honest.
We do so much without thinking. When a beginner asks what a strumming pattern is I really struggle to explain it because I play it automatically. And things like hitting open strings or muted strings between chords are like magic dust that make it come alive and you don’t even realise you’re doing it.
That haunting guitar turned me on to Chris Isaak back in 1990. Had to have it. Bought most (if not all) of his albums and even got a James Wilsey solo album (El Dorado) back in 2007. Great job replicating/teaching it.
Great lesson. Love how you picked out all the little idiosyncratic sounds that make up this ethereal melody. A mysteriously beautiful song. A masterpiece in 3 chords, Mr. Isaak This one's for you Peanut RIP...
Hands down one of my top 5 songs songs to play… I love it.… the ladies seem to like it too 😉 All technique and tone. Thank you for presenting this beautiful song. James Calvin Wilsey, the King of Slow, RIP.
The song was so hauntingly beautiful and then you had legendary fashion photographer, Herb Ritts direct the video with the stunning Helena Christensen, and that video was just so beautiful as well with that timeless black-and-white feel to it. The song Will always be a timeless favorite.
This song was a real breath of fresh air on the radio when it came out. That clean, haunting guitar tone grabbed me right away. Great job teaching the feel and taste of the licks and melodies!
Great Tutorial. I had taught myself this by ear when the song was a radio hit. I became friends with Chris' current guitarist Hershel. He told me they had to re-record Wicked Game for a foreign TV commercial. So they referenced the original mult-track and Hershel said that James' riffs were spread between 2 tracks so the reverb tails could sustain. It's sad that James had some issues and past away. But that did lead to Chris working with a number of different guitarists on San Francisco Days which is a very guitar lush album.
Totally agree, one of the most beautiful pieces of guitar playing I’ve ever heard. Wonderful lesson and nicely done, thank you kindly and have a good rest of the weekend. 🤠
Back in circa '99, I was having brunch and bloody marys at Harvey's in Kalamazoo. I looked out the window, and there's a big tour bus parked outside, as The State Theater is next door. Then I see Chris Isaak pop out from the cargo area, carrying equipment. I always appreciated that about him, big rock star, but not too big to do some of the dirty work. Respect!
Wow! That's just like the recording. I've heard many people try to play this song but there's always something missing. In my opinion, you're the only one that has been able to dial this in just right. You definitely have an ear for all the details. Awesome song, great job!
James was a member of the old Fender Discussion Page back in the 90s, and was always willing to elaborate on Wicked Games guitar questions, and there were many. RIP
I saw Chris Isaak , with James Wilsey and his full band (same bass player and drummer) play in a small club called Nightbreak in SF, Haight street real early around 1985 . I saw them a couple times…Chris had the whole look and sound happening already. Wilsey was amazing..I don’t think they had this tune yet , maybe but the sound was all there , retro and unique at the same time. Great job.
@ yeah Hershel is a great player, I remember watching them on that showtime series he had …it was great! But back in 1985 I guess Chris was right out of Stockton, Ca. But he had it all organized, image sound everything. . Jimmy Wilsey kind of had that sound going which gave it all that great new/Retro template , Isaak though had the voice and songs. RIP Jimmy Wilsey….love your channel.
ts another great lesson. You are such a passionate and patience guitar coach ! You taught with your heart and not showing off techniques that no student can follow. Always learn something new from watching your channel. Keep it up !🎉
I HAD NO IDEA THE DUDE THAT PLAYED THIS GUITAR WAS IN THE AVENGERS!!!! FUUUUCK I LOVE THAT ORIGINAL '77 ERA PUNK BAND. This song really hit me as a kid watching MTV. Then today I learned that the guy was in the AVENGERS PLAYED ON THE WE ARE THE ONE EP!!! 🤯 SO HAPPY TO LEARN THIS POWERFUL CONNECTION.
Can't play a lick, but love the strat in that song. A masterpiece that was captured so well by your tutorial. Multiple smiles and goosebumps. Thank you.
I usually get aggravated with guitar tutorial videos where the instructor talks about what he’s fretting and plucking (announcing every string and fret number) but you’re able to make it interesting and informative. Subscribed.
I love this lesson. You have a great calm/relaxed teaching style that makes it inspiring to play guitar. I love when technically gifted players appreciate well placed notes and chords. I had no desire to learn this song until now. If it sounds great, it is great. Thank you.
Thanks for featuring this song. I love how the guitar’s tone haunts you as each of the notes drip off the fretboard like honey and completely dials you in. Then the vocals hit you like a Mack Truck and you’re all in to the very last note! What a great song that sounds like it’s from late 50’s / early 60’s. Roy Orbison Eat Your Heart Out!!! I used to place this one and nailed the vocals as well. You did a fantastic job teaching how to play Wicked Game. It sounds exactly like it to the T! Well played Sir, well played, Bravo!!!!
I saw him with the original band in clubs in SF right before he got signed. He was amazing and still plays out. He did a show in Nashville and had JD Simo on guitar. JD borrowed a 50's Strat from a friend, walked in and nailed the entire show like he had been with him for years.
@@12footchain Indeed it was.. Zac is a very nice fellow. TrueTone always does me right. i have the CS12 and they did a repair and were very nice about it.
Thanks for the deep-dive into this haunting piece of music. I got to see James develop his talent over the years while he was in S.F. Really miss his playing.
A great tutorial and I loved how the sound you were making touched your soul every time and you were not ashamed to show it. Very emotional and instructive, thank you :) Zs
I didn't like this song back when it came out. Then I grew up and had my heart shredded a couple of times. Now I absolutely love it. It is some brilliant guitar. Not necessarily in the skill but in the note and rythm choice which I guess is very skillful. Thanks for the tab/lesson and settings. I will have some fun with it. 👍 Those last four words are absolutely haunting.
From the "Heart Shaped World" album there was an even greater guitar driven number, called "Don't Make Me Dream About You". Not many people remember that hit, but the guitar work from James Wilsey was even better and more stupendous! To me all his guitar work on each of the pieces simply gave character and plot to the story on the songs!
J'ai l'impression d'avoir enfin trouvé quelqu'un qui a réellement écouté attentivement ce qui se passe dans cette chanson, il était temps, et bravo à toi !
Thanks for this. I love that song. I tried figuring it out a few years ago but never thought of the open b and hammer on technic for that intro part. Now I will grab my guitar and play it Correctly!!!
This song was playing in the store while shopping with my then wife and realizing she didn’t love me anymore and my marriage would end. It will never leave me.
Hope after that, you found real happiness; it’s why I waited til I was 31 to get married. By then, most men & women realize they’re tired of pretending and being pretended-to. Best of fortune to you.
Many a metal head/punk rocker who lives and dies by a a loud Marshall counts this as some of their favorite Guitar playing and tones. At least this one does.
Fascinating, well done on this, recall it when it first came out and was blown away by it's beautiful guitar work AND the vocals. Such an iconic piece and thank you for showing it at its very best!
I wound up meeting James on tpdi, a luthier site focused on Fender Telecasters. Once he could play it Chris seems to have what you would call: wicked game(ed) his guitarist. Don't know Mr Isaak, but James was humble dad, living in South America writing TV commercials while raising his much beloved son. Liked him immediately, just as I loved both of their's song at very first listen.
Thought I could learn something and I did. The chords at the beginning for example. This is the only song I know using pre bar bends for chords and single notes. Courious if there are any others. Thanks, this was great and realy accurate. Best 3-chord song for loopers ever! He used a volume pedal. Since I didn't have one I had to learn for the first time to play controlled quiter which was harder than I thought. And at this very first moment I'm asking myself why I didn't just use the volume knob. 😂
Beautifully done, sir! I have been working on this for a couple of weeks and your video was a great interpretation of the piece. For those of us who are learners, it would be nice if you'd keep the fretboard display up and show every note all through the tutorial. I also like that you are so reverential with respect to the song which is a great demonstration of how a great piece of guitar can be relatively straightforward. Many thanks.
Fantastic lesson! So clear and able to follow. Loved the tone you got from the super reverb 😎 agree this song has some of the most beautiful guitar work 🙏
Awesome, thanks! I'm covering this one with my band and had worked a lot of that, but your insights on the chords voicing for the chorus will be a great addition! Also helped me understand why I couldn't get that "prebend" thing he does to work, since I was just doing it with a normal Bm and it didn't sound quite right. Kudos!
This song……my band did several renditions of this number! Nice subtle additions on just a three chord simple rhythm! I played the intro on a 98 PRS with coils tapped and thru a Laney Amp. Not quite the same! Thanks for the accurate break down!
A drummer friend of mine's band opened for Chris Isaaks right around the time this was a big hit. He told me that after their crew loaded in all their gear, they loaded in two huge wardrobe cases and several full length mirrors into their dressing room. My friend and his bandmates were looking down sheepishly at their own ripped jeans and t shirts, like "Aw, shit...." He said they were all really cool to them, though, and they looked as great as they sounded.
No person on earth was unaffected by that guitar part
Yeah, you're definitely right.I'm a guitar player myself.I remember when the song came out and it was fantastic.I loved the Guitar Center.Yeah , it affected everybody , you're right , bud anyways , thanks
Between the guitar work and the sizzling girl in the video, this song was going to be a hit.
@@livingadreamlife1428 I gotta look for the video now. Thanks!
@@livingadreamlife1428
And Chris Isaak said the girl hated him and there was literally no chemistry between them!
@@Frankie5Angels150well she didn’t age so well…
I lived across the street from James in Los Angeles for a period of time before he died. My kid played with his a kid once or twice. I never put it together that he was who he was until after his death. I also lived in SF in the 80s and saw James play with Chris Isaak a couple times.

Check out a little known song by Lynyrd Skynyrd called "One More Time." Same kind of idea but much more gritty.
Quintessential song for your armoire repertoire …..amazing tone and feel.
@@seanhammer6296Great tune!
If you’ve never seen him live I cannot recommend Chris Isaac enough. That dude puts on a freaking show. Wasn’t expecting too much but was astounded how hard they work and how good they sound live. A must!!!
Can confirm
I’ve seen him at least 6 times…every show was a treat!
100%!!! Chris is still incredible singer ! The band is so good
He does have an amazing voice!! An can control it amazingly too!!

Beautifully simple... but not. Three chords but with so much pain inside it. Thanks. 👍

Great tone! And great lesson, thanks a lot for clarifying some parts that I wasn't too sure about
This is a great lesson on a very awesome guitar sound. Thx. Moving
The album is great overall, this and blue hotel and blue spanish sky are my favourites off it. Just a gorgeous electric guitar tone
A drummer friend of mine's band opened for Chris Isaaks right around the time this was a big hit. He told me that after their crew loaded in all their gear, they loaded in two huge wardrobe cases and several full length mirrors into their dressing room. My friend and his bandmates were looking down sheepishly at their own ripped jeans and t shirts, like "Aw, shit...." He said they were all really cool to them, though, and they looked as great as they sounded.
