I am so happy to see someone of your generation like this music and give it so much thought. I am 55, I loved and saw The Clash live, when I was 15, and I wish my son would not only listen exclusively to Rap. Keep up the great work.
This is amazing. I’ve never been able to pull it apart. Other lessons seem to try and play some of the bass notes on guitar to fill out the sound. Never sounded right. You’ve nailed (as usual). Chapeau 🙂
You just brought back memories of my trying to figure out the album by playing the lp’s over and over on my cheap turntable that was a little fast, so I was about a quarter step off. Made it tricky... I was never happy with my playing on Track 1, LP 1, never did get it right. My thanks for your deep dive and research, I’ve never seen tab or videos as thorough and correct. On top of being a guitar monster, you are a damn fine scholar and instructor. 👍
I was looking through vids a few weeks back trying to learn this one and I noticed no one seemed to get it quite right.Thanks so much for spending the time to wade through all these overdubs:your video is by far the best.
That performance gave me such pleasure - always loved the song. What fantastic parts and combinations of chord voicings. Thanks Adrian, you've done it again. All the best from NZ.
Thank you so much for this Adrian, I really love the detail in this lesson and I’m enjoying learning each element. The calm and considered explanation of the parts is excellent as is the breakdown of gear used... thanks again!
Congrats for such a nice piece of work! Amazing to see how many lines are going on behind the scenes of what could be easily mistaken for a simple Em, F, G song!
Adrian, amazing! Thank you very much to share this with us. I always use to share your videos with guitarrista friends cos of your musical taste! Keep going bro! Cheers from Brazil . Joey
Best breakdown of a guitar based song in my fifty years on this planet! Haven't picked up a guitar in over a year but stumbling across this lesson of my all time favourite song ever, I now seem to be missing the protection of those callouses I used to have on my fingertips, I even managed the barre chords which is a novelty for me. I will watch this on repeat, play through the pain and thank you for it!
Never a better time to slow things down and spend some time digging deep into classic tracks like this, as you said for such a well known song it’s very rare to hear it done in a way that sounds just like the record. Used to listen to this album a lot in the mid 00s and have also recently spent a long time relistening ever since it’s anniversary. Looking forward to future videos, whatever bands they might be for (🤞 for smiths, radiohead, stone roses, blur, new order, clash, cure, etc etc), and as the other comments agree, the more detail the better as far as I’m concerned! 🎶🎸
by far the best guitar teacher on youtube because you actually teach stuff i listen too lol And please be as nerdy as possible i love hearing analysis on the music theory aspect.
Quality deep dive Adrian, very informative, helpful and enjoyable, I can't believe it's been 40yrs! Three guitarists or a looper to play, or as I'm going to do, cherry pick the parts that best suit. Many thanks 😎🎸✅
great work Mate, always have had a hard time with fighting this one out, why i’ve not done a cover of it yet. Now I will thanks to you and this vid . Thanks for doing the hard work for us on this classic!
01:31 = the best thing I have seen on YT for many a while :D Great lesson. I _thought_ I had this pretty nailed - turns out ... I didn't . But now I will . Thanks Adrian! - stay safe .
I’ve been playing this wrong since we did it in my school band in 1989... that second chord where one guitar plays F whilst the other a “C shape” G..... I’ve always played an “a shape” F major 7... sort of works but it never sounded toally right! Great lesson that man... and I loved the bit where you go into Swedish at 18:15. I went to an exhibition in London where somebody had compliled lots of memerobilia and scribblings from Strummer ncluding chord box shaped scribbles...and in there he had the usual cowboy chords but also the major7 shapes .... I think he had the same chord book as yer man from the Jam.
You really did a super job of learning this song a big thank you for that, you explain it very good, you made it simple, just straight talk about the song your not trying to be funny, very good very professional, once again thank you. All other music videos should see this and learn on how play a song.
Maybe not intentional but I had just finished watching Markus Söder's announcement of strict travel restrictions in Bavaria when the notification popped up! And my first thought was, well-played, Adrian! The anthem of the apocalypse is exactly what we need now. Btw, well-played, Adrian, and with that I mean your playing but also your video editing skills, wow! Thank you 👍🏻❤️
The multi track is available from the old game Rock Band so you will need to put it into Audacity to split the stems off into individual wav tracks as it comes in an unusual audio ogg format. There are 4 guitar parts, 3 main and one room, the room one is interesting due to it not strictly following the rest of the other parts and its mic overhead room reverb tone.
Thanks for this great lesson. I never thought that this song is that "nerdy". They probably had a lot of time at the studio to try out new things like backwards guitar solos to get away from the usual three chords Punkrock. With Guy Stevens as a producer there were also a lot of ideas. He threw around chairs and put water into a piano,etc. Crazy. Yeah, and you even brought in Joe Strummers pumping leg while playing. Your explanation is very good, thanks again 👍🏻😁
If there's such a thing as a Grammy Award for guitar teaching, you absolutely deserve it. Brilliant!
Totally! Makes me want play guitar again after watching his tutorials.
„A little bit nerdy“... Good Lord, YES, that IS exactly what we‘re expecting😁. Great job, thanks for all the work that must have gone into this!
Amen!
Oh mate that feedback gave me goosebumps
Are we running a sweepstake on how many takes it took?
@@glennlilley8608 He probably spent more time on it than the Clash did!
@@jeffreysims3831 bless him though
The first correct tutorial of LC, the very first one and I've been looking for decades...
Thank you, you're my hero of 2020
I am so happy to see someone of your generation like this music and give it so much thought. I am 55, I loved and saw The Clash live, when I was 15, and I wish my son would not only listen exclusively to Rap.
Keep up the great work.
I'm 15 now and the clash is my favourite band ever
Ask him to give Magnificent 7 and (This is) Radio Clash a listen. Just a suggestion.
@@johnb5482 I did. Junco Partner as well. To no avail....
Let your kid listen to what he listens to. Rap has taken on the roll for rebellious youth this generation
he'll grow out of it hopefully by 19-21 when your tastes grow more personal and sophisticated
Finally, someone who watches live videos, to get the right sound
This is amazing. I’ve never been able to pull it apart. Other lessons seem to try and play some of the bass notes on guitar to fill out the sound. Never sounded right. You’ve nailed (as usual). Chapeau 🙂

Adrian, how in the world do you expect me to be productive working from home when you put out gems like these? How?
Another great lesson. Maybe think about doing Ghost Town- given the times.
YES!! The nerdier the better, Adrian. I learn SO much from you, thank you. Great song, great lesson. You are the best at this.
Man, I love your attention to detail...you even nailed the guitar feedback! Thanks for the effort you put into your lessons.

Great song choice in so many ways. And yes, your obsessive pursuit of getting things right is a blessing for all of us.
man, well done, again. Your lessons are so thorough, what joy when I too often go shallow on learning a song, to do your songs properly
Thank you so much for this Adrian, I really love the detail in this lesson and I’m enjoying learning each element. The calm and considered explanation of the parts is excellent as is the breakdown of gear used... thanks again!
Congrats for such a nice piece of work! Amazing to see how many lines are going on behind the scenes of what could be easily mistaken for a simple Em, F, G song!
Brilliant performance, brilliant editing! Great stuff!
Brilliant dissection of the multiple guitar parts! Thank you!
One of the greatest songs of all time. Thanks for this, as usual top notch.
Great Lesson man, love the breakdown, love the clash, fantastic song. Made my day, many thanks, stay safe. Thanks again..
This videos are extremely well put together. Fantastic work! Thank you.
Great video Adrian, one of the bests, and one of my favourites songs and band The Clash........cheers from Chile !!!!
Awesome mate, One of my all time favourite tunes, thanks
Adrian, amazing! Thank you very much to share this with us. I always use to share your videos with guitarrista friends cos of your musical taste! Keep going bro! Cheers from Brazil . Joey
Thanks Adrian. I've been waiting for someone to do a proper version of this for years.
My favourite album.
You've done a really impressive work.
Your video made me re-visit this song, pick up my guitar and re-learn it! Great job!
Best breakdown of a guitar based song in my fifty years on this planet! Haven't picked up a guitar in over a year but stumbling across this lesson of my all time favourite song ever, I now seem to be missing the protection of those callouses I used to have on my fingertips, I even managed the barre chords which is a novelty for me. I will watch this on repeat, play through the pain and thank you for it!
As always, a very good, detailed breakdown of the song
.
Great editing Adrian and you lay out this "desert island disc" perfectly. Ty

Outstanding lesson, thanks so much.
Well done on the feedback portion. I wasn’t expecting that.

Excellent as usual ! Thank you
Backwards guitar instructional has cracked the code: That background English sounds like Swedish...!!! Great work on all your vids, thanks much!!
I’ve been playing this wrong since we did it in my school band in 1989... that second chord where one guitar plays F whilst the other a “C shape” G..... I’ve always played an “a shape” F major 7... sort of works but it never sounded toally right! Great lesson that man... and I loved the bit where you go into Swedish at 18:15.

BRILLIANT And Very Very Helpful Thanks. Love Your Work.

Thank you 👍🏻❤️
The play through is so fire
Thank you!! I had a feeling there was some seriously layered guitars on that track. Learning it up til now was a pain. Great job.
Superb tutorial Massive Big Thumb 👍🆙
Great lesson!
Great work, thanks!! interesting and inspiring.
Great, so well done!
For some reason the bass groove always reminds me of pirates! A brilliant song and lesson! Thanks!
Great job as always

I didn't realise the Em to F was a "revelation" as I been playing it that way since about 1986 and it can be clearly heard in the song? Great lesson!
Very Cool! Great video. Joe Strummer Rocks! London is drowning and I live by the river!
Thanks for this great lesson. I never thought that this song is that "nerdy".
