    I can't believe a player of your level on UA-cam tips his hat to the great Poison Ivy. And you manage to come quite close to the Human Fly sound with a JazzMaster, which is pretty amazing. Congrats.

    So I just started listening to The Cramps some 45 years late and am finally trying to learn the guitar - and here you are! How awesome is that!

    ‘96 tears in 96 eyes’. A nice poetic nod, I guess, to the melancholy mood of the movie, The Fly, or to a great sixties pop song.

    Your videos make me want to form an alternative 80s cover band. I love The Cramps, and this is probably my favourite of their songs... along with "Don't eat stuff of the sidewalk". You teach so many great alternative 80s songs. I was working in a(n alternative) record shop for the first half of the 80s and, well, nuff said, that's my bag. How about some Fuzztones? Sisters? (more) Bauhaus?

  • @harigeorgeson5885
    @harigeorgeson5885 6 років тому +1

    Another sublime lesson! Picked up the Cramps Psychedelic Jungle/Gravest Hits after you covered Goo Goo Muck and I love it, overwrought singing and all. It adds to the vibe. The Way I Walk is terrific. The rig rundown was extremely helpful. Cheers!

    I very much enjoy your channel. I’ve played in a number of bands though the years but have been recently playing again and have been slightly humbled by the six strings. ☺️
    I was fortunate enough to see the Cramps I believe seven times mostly in Detroit and then in Los Angeles when I moved here in the early 80’s Just wanted to leave you a friendly comment and again gratitude for your content 👏🏻

  • @billybrownie
    @billybrownie 6 років тому

    Fantastic! I stumbled upon your channel by chance and followed it since. I have to say it's a breath of fresh air to see someone that does not play solos and scales all the time but emphasises the importance of the song and music. Thanks !

  • @leetintary2074

    • @acpg

    Another one of one of my favorite bands! Thanks Adrian!
    As you say, this is excellent for beginners, and indeed was one of the first songs I tackled. However, I believe I never got it right! I will now!
    Another good song is "I am cramped" - practice for barre chords.

  • @fabiopunk1661
    @fabiopunk1661 6 років тому +5

    If I had a kid, I would follow Adrian's suggestion, and introduce him/ her to (electric) guitar by learning how to play this, or Rumble. For the time being, I will practice myself ....

    I think Cramps used Univox Super Fuzz and Fulltone Tremolo pedals.

    • @Mr.Steve-O
      @Mr.Steve-O 3 роки тому

      Yup, Univox U-1095 Super Fuzz, Fender Pro Reverb Amp, Fulltone Tremolo and a Maxon Delay, simple but yet very effective for her sound. Bryan Gregory used Fenders amps as well not sure on his fuzz pedal though, probably the same Super Fuzz

    Finally. A use for the tremolo besides Rumble 👍🏻

    • @acpg
      @acpg  6 років тому +1

      Indeed yes, you've got to love a bit of tremolo!

    • @Dreyno
      @Dreyno 6 років тому +1

      anyonecanplayguitar.co.uk It’s usually pretty subtle. Rumble, How Soon is Now, Crimson and Clover, Crush With Eyeliner, some Duane Eddy, make heavy use of it. It’s super cool. Probably get sick of it like any effect if it’s used too often.

    • @rockitMiC

    @denenk5853 6 років тому +4

    Hey adrian!
    Great stuff, have you ever considered doing A video on chet atkins. I would love to see A lesson on "hidden charm", its A a classic tune and is one of his more simple pieces. There are A few videos of people playing it on youtube but i am too slow to learn from them. I love all your videos and your way of explaining things and would be overjoyed if you made A tutorial on any chet atkins song.

    • @acpg
      @acpg  6 років тому +3

      I do like Chet, and I'll check out that tune. He was a master and some of his stuff is fearsomely tricky to play!
