Foreplay/Longtime Boston guitar play-along

- For more Boston covers, check out the playlist I made for them.
• BOSTON PLAY-ALONGS!
Guitar is parts I bought around 1982. DiMarzio body, solid Indian rosewood Warmoth 22 fret neck scalloped by me, Tone Zone in the bridge and Air Norton in the neck, Floyd Rose vibrato with Graphtech Ghost Midi/Piezo system built in.
I was playing with Guitar Rig 5 and kind of started getting this Boston type sound using the AC 30 amp so I just tried to see if I could get it even closer and I think I got pretty close but it's still not right. So, I decided to play Foreplay/Long Time and I never really learned it 100% so I ran through it a few times blowing it each time cuz I didnt' even know the beginning really and some of that middle solo. So I just said screw it. I'll do me best and make up the rest. HEHE

Huge THANK YOU to all who watched and commented!
TruthSurge awesome sir! 🤙🏽
Super clean cords , Nothing but Respect for You Sir !!!!!
I wanna grow up to be just like you
Rehearsed more ? F*ck you very much! Some effortless,smooth playing. Your vids kept coming up in my feed and this was the one I finally clicked on. Guess I was “taking my time “ ( couldn’t resist the pun) Great stuff man. Love me some Boston too. Been learning one of their songs myself.
Thank you for posting this.
Hello, TruthSurge. I just discovered you yesterday (9-8-2019) and am blown away. I am a 58-year-old retired musician who can no longer sing or play due to complications from chemotherapy. It really does my heart good to see you--a man of my generation--who can still make the magic happen. Thank you for making me feel better about so many things. I feel sorry for those young people who cannot recognize the valuable knowledge and experience that we older guys have accumulated over the years. Now that I can no longer play, I have felt like I can no longer do my part to prove the value of us older folks to those who tend to write us off. You speak loudly for all of us. What a precious gem you are to the world. Thank you for doing what you do.
...and one last thing: You are truly an awesome player and singer for anyone of any age!
A little off Topic but are you familiar with Probiotics and Ginger ?
I’m 36 but I grew up listening to a lot of unorthodox music for my generation, patsy cline , fats domino , BB King , Hendrix , Boston , Kansas to Stevie Ray Vaughn . Mother was 46 when she had me and my father was 36 , everyone has the gift and it’s good to see this man showing what the lack of todays modern music lacks . So this 80’s hair and I just learned of called Blue Murders -song is Valley of the Kings . I wish the best to everyone and keep up the music
P
Very well said Chris. I'm turning 38 this year and had over five years of chemotherapy in the early 90s. They no longer use the chemo drugs that were used on me because they were far too toxic. I have a fair share or problems from all those years ago so I know where you are coming from! But just remember, if you miss doing something, the only thing that can stop you from trying to what you want, is you. Best of luck to you my friend. I hope you will try to pick up your instruments again. I would give anything to have the talent of wielding a guitar!!! Blessings to you.
@@ManicMechanic82 Thank you for the words of encouragement. Man, am I sorry you had to go through chemotherapy too. The chemo almost killed me. The cancer is not nearly as bad as the chemo, but you already know that.
You are exactly right about not giving up. I do still pick up my guitar every day or two. I can still crank out a few chords, but I'm just a fraction of what I used to be. That's a painful realization every time I try to play, but I try to be thankful that I am a has been rather than a never was. It still hurts, though.
I hope the aftermath from your chemo is not too bad. If you are not a player yet, it's never too late to start as long a you still have the ability to control your hands. In regard to that, I hope you are better off than I am. If so, go for it, my friend. It is one of the greatest gifts this life has to offer.
If you lived next door...I'd be the happiest neighbor EVER!!!!
🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘
UziBooBooDooDoo Drum....So true! ...I would move next door to him!!! 😉
Think i will bye the house next door to him lol
"WOW!" "NOT ONLY CAN THE OLD GUY SING, HE CAN PLAY A FENDER STRATOCASTER BEAUTIFULLY!!!" "BOSTON WAS A GOOD CHOICE, MAN!"
Old is a state of mind :P Gilmour is in his 70s (so is James Young) and he's still cranking it. So many are considered ancient and still blowing it up.
@@StevenHavill Exactly. I would not dare saying he is old! I wanna be able to burn just be like him, when I am his age.
He’s like 38 years old
Looks like a yamaha
@@davet7454 it says in the description that the guitar was made by him using various parts
Love to see guys of my age who remember when Boston was new still rockin' it - great playing !!
If that was butchering, I'm quitting guitar.
Ditto
Popcorn Sutton, great profile pic.
Yeah, my guitar should be firewood.
I know! Right? That from my perspective was artistic license. Practice more if you want @Truth Surge, sounds great to me.
Blessings to you
No1 said that
Best I've ever seen cover. Not many people can cover Boston to begin with, let alone get the tonality. Practically impossible but this guy did it!! My guitar hero for sure.Boston is one of a kind, they can't be replicated or covered easily, this guy did some serious work indeed!!
thank ye. Ya boi doin' WERK! hehehehe I flubbed some of the intro and part of the solo but it was cuz I was too eager to film and upload. I didn't rehearse hardly at all. It's all live so I just didn't rehearse enough to have it "DOWN" but I could have. I just do these covers for fun. Some are really good w/o any real mistakes. The one I did of The Journey/It's Easy is really good (imo).
Trust me, you did not flub a damn thing. Tom Scholz would be very proud of you, that I'm sure. You are a great guitarist my friend, keep on posting. We enjoys it always.
Thanks. (i did flub heheheh)
Thanks babe I think the two days I have been trying to get a hold of it and it was a pleasure
He played it with the ease the way people breath.
Brother...You made this 63 year old shed a tear, plug in my guitar, and relive days gone by while dreaming of the days ahead. Thank you.
Thank you TruthSurge. I've seen Boston in concert, watched them here on TH-cam, and could never see what Tom Scholz is doing with his hands. You've helped me get more of a feel and understanding of the song, and your mistakes, you're the only one who knows they are there. I think they just add your flavor to the song. Thank you.
As someone who is old enough to remember this on 8 track in the 70's let me say...Nicely done Sir
Me an hour before leaving work: "ah I can't wait to go watch sci-fi and play space games"
What actually happened: Drinking beer and listening to some random guy rocking out to Boston on TH-cam >_>
life is strange like that! :)
... that was literally me tonight
😎 same here. This dude grows on you fr
Love how you nail all the small things that most don't even know they are hearing.
Boston....one of the first rock bands I remember as a kid and really liking them. Still amazed when I hear their vocals and unique sound. Awesome playing and thanks for brining up great memories.
i didn't know Moses was a Boston fan!! huh!! Thumbs up!!
😆
😁😆
I didn't know anyone could not be a Boston fan. He def rocks it... but he's also a grunge too. I am a huge Seattle grunge fan. Alice in Chains, Peppers, Nirvana, Jam, Sound (bowing)... all of them.
You didn't butcher it, you rock man. Thanks for reminding me of my early rock years. Live long and prosper sir!!
Truth, you are an incredibly gifted musician, and an inspiration to all of us older generation guys who are out there still playing. Thank you😍
I was born in 68 and in the mid 70's I was just a kid riding up and down my sidewalk on my Big Wheel, but as I got older and started to listen to the music from the late 60's and into the 70's, the culture, basically when my parents were young adults and caught up in this era, I just started to fall in love with all of it. This song in particular has ALWAYS been a 70's anthem for me. Powerful, emotional and just fun. You fucking killed it man. I've listened to this song a hundred times if not more. I could absolutely not tell any difference between your cover and my in-depth memory of this song.
Haha. Thanks for the Big Wheel reference. I rode mine until the plastic big wheel split apart.
Sir. You just reminded me how really great Boston was. Thanks. Enjoyed this.
I think Boston is an underrated band. That first album is a sonic wonder. One of the very best albums in all of rock.
First CLASS, I'm 59 been playing over 40 years love Boston, enjoyed that a lot.
As a 1970 baby you bring back so much of the music era I grew up on, kudos Amigo
One of the best guitar tones of all time ... and you nailed it perfectly. Well done.
excellent tone!!! perfect actually!!!! and im a freak for Boston .....holy hell that was crazy good!!!
This guy is phenomenal playing guitar and singing!
I’m a second generation rocker. My dad was a musician and so am i. Your fucking awesome!!! I’ve known about you for a while, but I just now subscribed. I could listen to you sing and play guitfiddle all day. Rock on 🔥
Gandalf kicks ass. LOL Im 40 your like my Dad I rember when yall were young still glad to see yall kicking ass. Sucks I was so young back then still miss those days Ive always respected your generation and music. I hate todays music no one plays guitar and makes good music anymore.
I just discovered and finished your "Flying High Again" cover about 10 minutes ago and then came here. Outstanding, my man! This made my day.
Haha, same here exactly! This totally rocks!
Me too. Same thing
hashtag me too
Yup
There ain't no youngins' that know these licks like us ol' man. Stay well & keep rockin' in 2017 !!! God Bless.
thx, you too!
I'm 14 I can play the intro and beginning solo so far
Your a Monster..Your a Goofball..and .. You take care of your Dad - I love You man - I jus canNOT stop listening ... You make ALOTTA people hApPy !!
I come back to watch this multiple times a year. Love this guy!
What floors me is the fact that he understood where those originally-played, ethereal sounds came from and how to reproduce them.
I've been a Boston fan for decades and I couldn't count the times I've listened to this song. You nailed it brother.. kudos
I could watch this over and over. Amazing playing my friend
Dude, your videos amaze me. Your the dude at a party that just comes out of nowhere and gets everyone psyched. Your licks are freaking 🔥
boston were the group that got me into rock no doubt, back in the 70's
Guitar work from this era was SO MESMERIZING. The backbeat was simple but driving. Chord progressions we're nothing short of beautiful! Stunning job! Thanks man, powerful stuff.
One Man with so much talent!! He is truly Blessed. Great Voice 🤗
Dude just don't know how talented he is!
He's as old as that song - long time
This Man 💯💯💯 Rocks and this song brings many Memories back in the day.. San Antonio Texas in the house..😎
Yes - the mid 1970's were rad ✔️
Pete Rodriguez hell yeah... I grew up around San Antonio, listened to lots of Boston...
Ome LMBO Hehe indeed. This video made me smile like a little school boy. Santa Clause was a Rock God all along😄👍🤟🇩🇰
Dude, you're a badass. The perfect balance between technique and tastefulness. Kudos to you.
I'll never become half the guitarist that you are but the joy of watching you have such a great time is immeasurable.
The Truth be Told! To me that was note perfect! What you called "butchering", just added your signature to this classic tune. Tone and pick drags were spot-on.
Dude, this is the first guitar I have ever heard outside of Boston that has the Boston sound. I am a huge fan of them and you my friend, rocked it!
Also check out "Lexington Lab Band, Boston". Equally amazing as the whole ensemble!
Man just when I thought I've seen some wicked players then you come along!! Pure awesomeness !!! 5 stars
A M A Z I N G ! ! ! ! ! ! 🎸🔥🔥🔥 I wish more than anything that I could play guitar 1/100th that well!!! He is nothing short of incredible!!!!!
What are you talking about? You nailed that. And the sound quality coming out of my iPad Pro speakers was strikingly pure and well balanced. Your play-along conjured up how amazing that song is with what is perhaps the apotheosis of rock guitar. I really can’t think of a lead guitar part in any song that is more screaming fun and musical than this song by Boston. Great tribute and bless you for being perfectly in tune with the recording. It was an enjoyable listen.
I Love This Song. Listening to this song reminds me of my youth.
You are always playing perfectly. 🎸
Thank you for your wonderful performance.
From Japan. 🇯🇵

Oh Yeah... You Rock Gandalf!
trying to! thanks. I'm about to upload Party by Boston. Turned out pretty cool and I added a few extra notes. :)
Guitar Wizard
James Díaz You’ll be old someday...
@@CaptainKirk007 i don't think it was an insult, more a compliment on the dudes awesome beard!
He looks exactly like Bobby Fischer when old.
the white wizard..quite the magician
Bingo mate. Magician, not musician.
TS you've gotta be rock royalty. I think you have a secret identity.
Even his playing of simple power chords is so tight and mesmerising. That's talent
Dang, boy. That’s some fine guitar playing!
I’ve been listening to Boston since high school and I NEVER realized how much detail lay in this guitar part! The nuances and special effects are amazing! I’m a pianist and vocalist and, as a musician, I should have known there was so much more to this guitar part than I realized! The nuances and special effects were awesome.
Thanks for taking me back to my “Glory Days” of high school. It did this heart good. You are living proof that you can never have too many guitars!
God bless you, my friend.
We need concerts worldwide. Just you on stage. Doing just this. Ppl will be there.
Great Job Man... Everyone who truly plays guitar, knows how tough these Boson Songs & Progressions are to play & remember!!!
Rock-On🎶
You broke their code , BOSTON's safety box it's been opened ....." You know every detail"
How does no one know about this guy and why have I never heard of him??? Incredible playing, sir! Love it!
I’ve listened to this song over and over for 40 plus years, to say anything other than great is just jealousy . When others post there video then they can hate. I’m sure every note was self taught. And has the balls to share it with the world. I say rock on my man rock on. Every video this man posts is just Awesome. Tame your green monster and admit he’s great!
That's enough for a lifetime of kudos for ya... You killed it! 🤘😎🤘
Love your playing. Glad to see you let your hair down...to your chin. :)
Totally. I just discovered this gentleman's videos earlier today and I am very impressed. Not only is he a great player, but if you watch his face when he is playing, it is very obvious that he is having an absolute blast. So many guitar players on TH-cam post videos where you can tell that they practiced and practiced the cover that they are doing...and is very robotic. But with this dude, he is smiling, his playing has feel and you can tell that he is just rocking out with tunes that he is familiar with. The dude is a killer. I love seeing guys smile when they play...the smile can be felt in their playing...If you know what I mean.
not sure if that was an ahole comment or not..but in the moment, I will take it as positive. He is very talented and entertaining to say the least.
Dear Santa can you teach me how to play guitar like Tom Schultz for Christmas!!!!! Awesome job!!!
Yeah of course, if youre good all year you can have anything you want, thats what Santa's for.
mike jones awesome that means I'll be in a Boston tribute band next year!!! I can't wait!!!!😃
Scholz...not Schultz.. he isn't the author of Peanuts...lol
dragunserf that's hilarious I knew when I looked at it didn't look right but I just didn't change it😂😂
😱👽😹😹😹😹arghhhhh my ballsss..🍺..🍺
Nobody can hit all the same exact licks. Dude I enjoy ALL your stuff! Your version gave me shivers- damn good enough!!! Right on!!
Ty!!
Mind...blown 🤯 Such a natural. The interpretative fills actually were genius 👏
Well now if THAT'S your "butchering" then I'm getting my meatcuts from YOU ! Fantastic to hear you play and replicate so well the tone & sounds ! Props to you sir !!
i would like to see this guy play with either Joe Walsh or Daryl Hall for some great cover songs. You sir have that old school feel to your playing style...Kudos to You for blowing my mind......Keep up with what you do, and letting the world know how good of a talent you have.......Really enjoy your videos and playing style..
Grandma and the Grand Kids are upstairs like..."Gramps is downstairs in the basement filming another damned TH-cam video"!....LOL!! Great job man!
Mantis," Grandpa is playing some weird music grandma! That's not the rap I like"!
If i were you, Id be trying my hardest to audition for one of these old school bands because alot of them split up and its very hard for them to find people who can actually play theyre music the way its intended to be played. you my sir have that gift. ive played guitar for 27yrs and only dream of playing this good.
Awesome! Sounds like Saturday night around a cold keg with my buds in High School...............in 1976! So many good memories associated with this song.
Honestly, I think you are much too self-critical! That was just great!!!
thanks!
This is so funny to find you playing great music on your channel. I have seen your atheist videos, and have seen you comment on other atheist channels. Hey Dude!
:)
TruthSurge
TruthSurge Great job!
Wish I could butcher it that well! Tops to you, sir!
You don't know shit, he nailed it.
@@EclipsedEmpires lower iq
@Nathan Gregory *Somehow STILL has lower Iq*
@@4wd24traction I'm not sure if you actually sat and watched the whole video or if you just listened to it while doing something else, but at about 5:40 TruthSurge put some text saying "Yeah, I butchered it". Meaning that what Redden said was actually a compliment.
@Ric Wood Finally someone get's it.
Right on TruthSurge grew up listening to Boston my fellow New Englanders🤘👍👍👽🖖
As a long time guitar player myself (32+ years) I highly enjoyed watching you play this! Bravo bud! 👏
2022 and I still think this is the best cover performance on TH-cam. You're awesome TruthSurge!
What’s up, SHREDDY VAN HALEN!!!! That was great man,keep these coming👍
This is amazing! So very well done! What a great beautiful setup you, your guitar and rig make! ROCK ON!!!!
Absolutely phenomenal
I have recently found your channel and you are talented and confident
Much respect
Excellent my friend!!! Just wonderful!!! I turn 60 in a couple of months!! I’ve played since about ‘74!! But I’ve gone cold the last few years🥶😢You’ve inspired me to dust off mine!!! And I thank you for that!!! Good luck to you!!
More awesomeness brother! I love your own touches you add to the songs you do. You are quite a talent sir!!
Man, you are a GENIUS!!! What a talent!
Awesome Beard Sir, rockin' that Charles Darwin look and slayin' that Tom Scholz solo/bar chord progressions 🎸 🎶
David Gilmour is in his 70s so no reason why this guy can’t rock on !!
Sam B Doesn’t go very far to explain why there are so few with THIS man’s talent level. When I start seeing ads for “America’s Top Senior Guitarist” then I’ll know Surge is not special. Until then......
One song I'll never get tired of. Rock N Roll man 🎸🎸🎸
That was fantastic!! I really enjoy your videos. Your vocal range is insane and your guitar playing is something to marvel at. Keep it up!!
I absolutely loved the little fills you did!!!!! Awesome stuff
My GF says that to me...ahhhh. Memories
What Santa does the other 364 days. Be proud, 3000+ views and zero thumbs down :)
+Johnny synth yep. He's a rocker and a roller. thank ya!
It is the image of "Johnny Cab" from Total Recal (1990).
My friend your tribute to this classic was just sick thank you
One of my fav songs, I love watching you sing and play. You have amazing God Given Talent. I wish I could in words how much joy and serenity you bring into my life. Showed my wife your talent and she thinks your amazing as well. God Bless to you and your family.
What does god have to do with it?
@@danielfox3003 Nothing if you don’t believe in God. I choose to believe in God.
You are playing the heck out of that whammy bar! Rock on dude. Awesome!
Great guitarist! So glad I stumbled on to your channel. You ROCK!
Hey ,thanks for showing em how we did it and how it gets done now!
Bravo your one the greatest lead guitarist Legend so far I know that Rocks 👍

One of the best collaborations that ever happened, now includes You. Cheers!
In addition to that amazing voice you play guitar too? That is too much for one person to be blessed with. LOL LOL
You sir are extremely talented you should be a millionaire
how do you know he's not?
I would say he's undercover Rock Royalty.
I beat the damn steering wheel off 2 town cars playing that bro. Nice
Fuckin' Beautiful, what a throw back. I just started playing my guitar again after 20 years and it's official this is the song I am starting with, this was such an inspiration to me. Thank You
Superb! Just too good never thought anyone
could play the Lead guitar like the BOSTON🥰👍
Killer vibrato.
TONE!!!!!!TONE!!!!!!TONE!!!!!!
Great all around..
This album should be benchmark 101 when learning how to play
(Didn't know Lee Sklar played Boston too..)
=)
Awesome Job Sir!!! You need to do an album called "Get off my Lawn!"!
Hahaha 😂😂😂😂😂
Santa is playing the guitar I asked for Christmas.
:)
mrBDeye have a little respect dick head
Maybe Santa would be good enough to autograph it for you and leave it in Your stocking next year? 😁
DUDE.....That was freaking awesome, thanks. Mike from Bend Oregon. I had everyone of those in eight track.
ty!
I've never particularly been a Boston fan so I have no idea what made me watch this, but I'm digging it.
You've got me nodding my head and smiling. Rock on, my friend.
