One of the best lessons ever. Not only did you show the notes but you explained the picking patterns and the song structure. And all without wasting a word.
Great lesson Howard. I am a little younger than these guys but I grew up playing all over the north of England the same clubs and pubs as them before they went on to much deserved fame and fortune. I hadn't played this song in forever and you are one of the few people to play it exactly right, at least in my humble opinion. A shout out to Tony Hicks a player for whom the term underrated was literally invented and also the great Bobby Elliott on drums. Look forward to following your work.
Thank you for the lesson!! Great Job!!! I was a guitar player from the 60's. Always loved The Hollies back then. I quit playing guitar 50 years ago and went into playing Pedal Steel Guitar for over 40 years now. Still active at 70. Picked me up a Les Paul to play at home. Get back into it for home fun. My current Pedal Steel is a Sho Bud Super Pro D10 with 8 floor pedals and 6 knee levers. Been a nice pass time playing a 6 string again.
I used to play this (my version at least) years ago and found this. Didn’t play in a while so I wanted to relearn this. I wasn’t sure on the intro hammer-on so I put this on my ASD app, slowed it down and looped it. Sure enough its there. Its so quick you almost miss it. Excellent tab
I have dabbled with this tune before and it was lacking, with this lesson I picked up the things I was missing. Thanks for shining a light on it like you do and keep up the great work!
My hobby is to watch these kind of video and play the songs and I have watch hundreds. I belong to a paid subscription to lick library and I need to tell u that you are one of the best. Love you teaching technique
After getting my first electric guitar, this is the first riff I learned, and I still love playing it. Good lesson Howard! I never saw anyone teach the harmony part before with the boogie pattern. Thx. GT
always wanted to learn this, what an awesome ,patient teacher you are and a fine musician also! thanks so much for sharing your talents so hacks like me can learn from you sir!!
VERY cool lesson! I know I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to mention that I noticed the Jethro Tull "Living in the Past" T-shirt. Awesome!
You’re an awesome player as well as a teacher I have played this tune a while back but couldn’t figure out the harmonic part of that riff I got close but it was higher up on the neck, mystery solved. Thank you!!🎶🎶🎸🎸
That was excellent Howard. I always wondered how this was performed correctly . Your demeanor is great on these videos . I needed these types of lessons 40 years ago. Thanks again
Cool video!!! your technique to play is so beautiful!, with 3 fingers on the guitar, I try it, I can put so far only one!, but im working on it! Thx for the lesson!
Why haven’t I seen your page before ? I just subscribed to your page. You are a great teacher teaching at an easy and understandable pace . Thank you !
There are many tutorials on this song. I've seen at least 4, and I rate this one the highest in terms of clarity and technique, including the hybrid picking in what is basically a guitar solo equivalent for this song.
great lesson as always Howard. I have a request, it might seem a little odd, but Last Train to Clarksville, seems simple enough but the Picking pattern in the intro as well as the solo, (those quick triads) I just can't seem to nail. Thanks

Yes , this is my 4th video of this song and this was the best breakdown imo
One of the all-time greatest riffs!
It really is cool :-)
I’m 60 and been playing guitar for 1 year…very good lesson..txs…keep putting more…cheers
