Big Bad Company fan from day one....Paul Rodgers voice is a one of a kind, perfectly tuned instrument....Shooting Star, for me, is one of those songs that never get old....I was a teen when it came out and I love it just as much now as I did then....All Right Now by Free (Paul Rodgers) is another rock and roll masterpiece that will never grow stale in my ears. Thank you very much for this....I’m a lifelong “beginnermediate” guitar player and your video was perfect for me to be able to learn this song quickly and easily....still working on the intro but having all kinds of fun.
When the song fades at the end and there is nothing left but your guitar, it sounds so perfect and meshes exactly with the song. It's so cool sounding. Thanks for showing how to play this one, it's a great song and you play it so well.
Exactly right! On the studio cut, second verse, when the lyrics are "gonna be a big star some day', and you are playing the A, in the studio cut he plays fast descending double stops on the 9th, 7th, and 5th frets (the high E string) , he strums, muting the B string, so on the G string he's on the 9th, 7th and 6th frets when he takes it down...I like your strumming, you get those fast mutes on the E maj before you go to G, muting with your right hand whilst you keep strumming...that's what i learned from you and it sounds great. I'd bet you heard those double stops but did not include them to keep the tutorial straight forward. Oh, also, off the subject but another 'simple' acoustic intro I like a lot, is the studio Led Zep, 'Ramble On', which goes back and forth with E and A chords, Page does his E using a barre on the 7th/9th frets and does 2 different suspensions on the E maj before going to A where he goes back and forth suspending the A the same way you suspend the A with 'Shooting Star" except he plays his A maj on the 5th fret (A sus 4). I know that's right cause I saw him live demo it on his Les Paul from what I guess is his castle...or whatever grand place he's in....'excuse the digression but my head operates that way...I looked at 3 UA-cam demos of Shooting Star and they all get the chords right but you nail the spirit of it...and it makes all the difference...and that's when you know your in 'good hands' ...when you see the superficially easy chords need some subtleties to sound really right.... With any instrument at any level, it's the details that transform it from just OK to terrific... and i think I have 'earned' the song, enough to improvise, only after i can mime the original as perfectly as I can....So, Thanks! for your attention to details for a really proper tutorial......Geez, I'm like 'Chatty Kathy" tonight and not even drunk...is that some sort of Gibson? Your getting a real bright sound.....Recently i picked up a Gibson 1963 J50 at a steal...and it's ridiculous really, blindfold tested between a nice new guitar and a good old one...it gets subjective fast what sounds better.....I'm fairly ancient and it makes me a little ill when i think about the 60's Martins i bought new in the 60's....not only about how inflation has perverted prices, but how good they'd sound now, if I'd had the foresight to keep 'em.........I paid $220 USD for my first HD-28 and $600 for a new D-41...Brazilian rosewood etc......Now $600 buys a "Martin" D Junior which has a plastic fretboard and bridge and made out of 'mystery wood'.....Floor scraps from some out of country floor, emulsified with synthetic resins...with action so high it's really only appropriate for slide work....Gibson, Martin, Collins, Taylor, Larrivee, Seagulls, replications.........apples, oranges, mangoes etc......totally derailed chat now....Peace!......D
Someone should put together a bracket chart. I'm seeing Paul Rogers vs. Steve Marriott on one side, maybe Daltrey vs. Mercury on the other, until we finally get down to, who, Jagger & Plant? Joplin?
...this dude kills it on every video I've seen .....I noticed on " Ready for Love ( btw that he nailed also ) ..the comments were tuned of .....got 7 dislikes ....dislikes !??....must've been 7 X girlfriends that were next to impossible to make happy .......imagine that.
So amazing! So many questions...... do you play by ear? How did you discover your unusual talent? How many videos have you made? When you decide on a song for a vid, how long does it take to make one? Is your ability to read music (or hear a song) something you discovered one day? Thanks so much for sharing with the world. I could listen to your videos for hours on end.
Thanks! That helps a lot i’ve been trying to do this song and I’ve done it over and over again from another UA-cam or I’m just going to combine both styles and see what I come up with now.👍
Since the 1st time I have ever seen one of your videos I knew you had a Monster Ear & an appetite for figuring stuff out the way it really sounds. Thx for sharing all your musical fixes with me. I wish I had more time to watch them all but I don't. Just wanted to say thx a lot man!! :)
deedubslite My fave Sheryl song! My bud opened for Jeff Trott's pre Crow band and stayed pals with him when he was working on Sheryl's first few albums. I think he still writes with her but stopped touring!
On an isolated acoustic guitar track of the original recording of this song, it sounds like he goes to D rather than to G. Actually, a D hammering to a D6, most likely at the 5th fret. The first two times it's a regular hammer on, the next two he does a little strum with it. The rhythm picks up momentum as it goes along. The E sounds like it's at the 7th fret. The A sounds like he's at the 2nd fret hammering on and off with the B string 3rd fret and D string 4th fret, a technique I believe he uses on a few other songs. ua-cam.com/video/gr-2ebH1AS4/v-deo.html
Is there any chance you could throw out a tab for that intro or maybe do another video where you slow it down for us intermediate guitar players?Thanks

Great tune from an album full of great tunes. Deal with the Preacher one of my faves.
The bass line in this song (esp. on the chorus) has always been one of my faves. Beautiful work by Boz Burrell(?).

Very cool sound Bad Company still listening 2023 would love for you to do "Fade Away " tutorial
They really liked those "higher fret" D formations for intros. It's like the continuation of "Feel Like Making Love". Thanks for the awesome tunes!
Jeff Kahl Very similar, yes.
For my money, there's no better rock singer than Paul Rogers.
EclecticHillbilly Hard to argue with that.
Someone should put together a bracket chart. I'm seeing Paul Rogers vs. Steve Marriott on one side, maybe Daltrey vs. Mercury on the other, until we finally get down to, who, Jagger & Plant? Joplin?
I rate them...1 Freddie Mecury 2 Paul Rodgers...3..jeff Buckley...RIP
Kickin' ass... and a shout out to Paul Rogers for keeping it clean and living to tell.
Always been my favorite band 👍✌️🖖
I was watching a few covers. Seen the J200, knew it had to be good! Awesome job man! This song has a certain feel most people can't get right.
rock on young man

I hope whoever hit thumbs down gets diarrhea on Thanksgiving!
Hey James, have you ever seen Paul Rodgers live? amazing voice, sounds just as good live as he does recorded , man was born to sing.

Welcome to the gold mine. As JJ usually signs off, "Good luck!"

Great song and lesson
I was just You-Boobing SHERYL CROW! She's got some good songs out there! How do you feel about Sheryl's work? I really like "My Favorite Mistake".
I've met her a few times -- a great lady!

Great tutorial. Wondering how you’re doing health wise? I hope you’re in good health and spirits.
I’m both. I hope you are, too.
Yeahhhhh!!!
Is there any chance you could throw out a tab for that intro or maybe do another video where you slow it down for us intermediate guitar players?Thanks
