I've seen quite a few covers of this great 80s guitar classic. This is the only one that truly captures the style and spirit of Kevin Mac's playing note for note. Every nuance of the epic original is faithfully brought back to life. Thanks for giving us a rare, close up glimpse into Kevin's genius!
Sounds like a robot playing it note for note, just the one main studio track. You can't play it that way live. Watch MacMichael on a live version. But great job on note for note playing and clarity.
@Lighten UpFrancis Are you trying to imply that the three songs you mentioned, are not representative of the greatest emotional love stories, or were not best solos of the century?
Very well done!!! So refreshing to see someone finally nail it. Every other youtube video covering this song should be removed. This is the gold standard. Thank you!!!
This is, without doubt, the best ever attempt at playing this I've ever seen (other than from the cutting crew originally). Spectacularly authentic. Only 1 small suggestion as someone who has played and sang this live on many occasions though. The Bm chord leading into the choruses (bar 33 i think) is an arpeggiation of the Bm chord from the fifth string to the 2nd string, but pulling off the 2nd string to form a B suspended 2nd chord and then reverse arpeggiation back up through strings 3 4 and 5 before going up to the 12th fret. Please don't misunderstand me though. The rest of this lesson seems absolutely perfect to me (and far better than I could have produced), but its just that one section is slightly off I although I will freely admit that people can hear things differently. Only Kevin MacMichael could tell us for certain, and sadly he's no longer with us. But what a great band to write such a sublime song on their first release. And a superb lesson on how to play it. bravo Vinsama.
@@VinsamaGuitar thanks for the lesson, do you have tabs on your website? I can’t work out which is the right file. Thankyou. Great song and great playing.
This nailed itself into my consciousness as the single best song I ever heard as a teenager (when music really gets into your subcioncsious mind and sticks like a limpet) I've listened to the original tens of thousands of times in the years since and still believe it is the most perfect song I ever heard. I tried really hard to critique this guitar riff and cannot (even in my very compulsive mind set) find an incorrect note, or even one that is off beat by the slightest margin. I acknowledge that people more well versed in music theory might laugh at my poor effort, but for me this was indistinguishable from the original. I applaud the dedication that can fool my ear. (and I honestly believe that the only living human who has listened to this song more than me is Nick Van Eade, because it runs through his head as an earworm constantly. At least I get a break every noe and then when I'm very tired)
Excellent! I could listen, and watch this over, and over! Very very good, and clean playing! Every single note, string bend, and whammy bar hit is dead on perfect!!!
Nice cover! Someday I'll try learning it, but it's one of my favorite songs; sometimes I think and have to decide whether to just listen or learn to play. I'm beyond able to now, but it was really sweet to hear you play.
Wow! what an accurate and clear cover of this classic track, would love you to cover Chesney Hawks ( I AM THE ONE AND ONLY ) thanks again for your great guitar lessons......
The first two comments (@cjg6364 and @briancrisp) I encountered below captured exactly what I would have said. WOW, amazingly well-done -- makes me instanly want to to pick up my guitar, to listen to your cover again and again, and to just tune back into some of the (often unappreciated?) gems of the 1980's music era. You've got all the nuances down (and the tone is exceptionally spot on, too). Kudos, GREAT job and thanks for making this video.

This song is a masterpiece and you've highlighted just how intricate it is.

The best tutorial ever! Excellent! And very well executed
Thank you for watching!! Hope you enjoy :)
빈사마 기타 나라 Vinsama Guitar well, i already learned it! Thank you
@@VinsamaGuitar thanks for the lesson, do you have tabs on your website? I can’t work out which is the right file. Thankyou. Great song and great playing.
Excellent. Just excellent! I almost want to minimize the background just to truly enjoy your playing. Superb, smooth use of the whammy bar!!!!
Thank you!! This is killer....so is your playing. I love the lick leading into the solo at 3:12. Man, that is slick!
Listening you play makes me want to ditch my guitar as I feel there is 0 chance I'll ever be able to even come close. Hats off to you
Yeah, I'm with you. A very fluid style of playing that I've always struggled with.
