I get a lot of questions about my gear. You can read about it on the website here: www.shutupandp...
Thanks for watching. Cheers
Billy Duffy deserves way more acknowledgment as a brilliant guitarist. So many fantastic licks from him! 'Electric' has weathered as well as any album could, and still sounds timely today. (Especially at a time when hair rock was at it's peak, The Cult was turning out some authentic, classic rock sound)
Absolutely agree. His sound and songs are forever memorable
Couldn't agree more. Killer songs that have held up well!
This guy is all about the authenticity of the song. Very good tutorials with added tidbits.
Every now and then I find these beautiful pieces of music i've never heard before. Then I search for a guitar tutorial and to my amazement you have already made a video on it. Great work and many thanks for all the free tutorials!
Thanks @JPazer. I put a huge amount of time and effort into making these videos. I like to keep them free for those that can't afford it, but if you can, please support what I do. Cheers, Andy www.shutupandplay.ca/donate.html
Dont Don't know shy but something about this tune always gives me goose bumps. It has an other worldly quality to it.
Just got our band leader to add this to our 80’s set list for next months show. Can’t wait to play it. Thanks. This channel is the best on ALL of UA-cam
Beautiful sound. I'm hearing a sitar in my own tone deaf kind of way. Quite pleasing indeed. Thanks!
This drone style originated from the late great Stuart Adamson ,originally the guitarist with Scottish punk band The Skids,latterly the frontman of Big Country,,check out the Skids track ,Off one skin,,The Edge himself quotes Stuart as a massive influence,,U2 and Green day covered the Skids classic The saints are coming?an early U2 track on the Boy album ,Electric co is Stuart's style with Edge adding delay, Nuff said.I'm sure Billy Gibbons was no different!!oh brilliant lesson as usual !!
Awesome info. Thank you for sharing
@@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard Ain't it just - that immense celtic vibe running through the whole thing. G W mentioned Big Country who supported Bowie on his Glass Spider outing at old Wembley stadium and I was lucky enough to see it. I wish I was an accomplished enough wordsmith to relate to you how sublime that was.
Simple yet powerful. The importance of playing with feeling. You don’t need a lot of fancy licks and scales.
Thanks a big bunch, this is such a great guitar tune. You always come through with these lessons. Explaining how the sound is achieved is an added bonus. You have a great ear and I think world class playing as well.
Everyone:
I never thought I could play it until I learned how it was done and now it seems so simple.
Me: That’s why it’s genius.
Damn, SHUT UP AND PLAY....nicely done!!
Shut up?? But Why?? Lol
Exactly!
Duffy actually uses his signature Gretsch White Falcon to plat this riff which gives it that "Billy Duffy tone ".
Incredible lesson sir.Appreciate the precision in your tutorials. Thank you
Wow, thanks for a great lesson. This is one of my favorite guitar riffs, & you've made it very doable.
Have to say SU & Play is fast becoming my favourite online tutor. Just shows you how to do it and zero BS 👍
This is brilliant! Thanks so much for this, it didn't take long to get this down thanks to your great teaching style.
Always turned this song up since me was a youngy. Never imaged it being so easy to play. Thank SUAP!
You’re a good player and teacher...Love your tempo....I’ll pass you onto my son who plays guitar...love The Cult.
Back in old days i used 3 Yamaha SPX90's to get the sound. You can only use one effect at a time on the Yamaha's so that's why I had to stack 'em. One SPX was for delay, the second was for the flanger and the third was the reverb. I almost forgot, sometimes I did use the TC Electronics 2290 for the delay, probably the best delay ever made.
First of all, your youtube videos are far and above some of the best tutorials anywhere. Your patience and detailed explanations are simply amazing. You have over 70,000 thousand subscribers. We should all send him a dollar of month. That's less than a cup of coffee a month for the best tutorials on the planet by some of the greatest song every written. He should be able to sit home and devote his time to more videos. 12 dollars over the course of a year is meaningless to us for all we get back. I am headed to paypal to give him 12.00 now. I challenge all of you to do the same. Let the man do what he does!
Awesome!!! Trying very hard after 4 months on electric,and this took me up another level!!!
I used to play with the d- g strings for hrs when first started playing. Especially when i got my Strat... LIke a meditation.
That’s my current state.
Total newbie. But have started learning this killer song!
A great lesson, thanks. I also went out and bought a Nova system ( on lay-buy ) and picked it up today. I know very little about electric guitar methods, amps and effects but I was able to have a great deal of fun with it after reading instructions. Have a lot to learn but I totally love the sounds I managed in 90 minutes. Thanks again. Steve in Australia.
Finally! Thanks for the suggestions towards effects. With this setup, Billy Duffy created the foundation for gothic guitar sounds and it's been used over and over again by other early eighties guitar players. Even if you're not sure if this is the correct effects setup, it gets pretty damn close and will certainly ball over every audience.
Great lesson you always do such a great job the sound of your guitar playing is always spot-on PS great looking Les Paul🎸🎶👍
simple things makes the world stunned by,like Ayrton's driving,the Edge on New Years Day,Duffy..now are they a legend that i adore to hear 20y later..to be a part of their rocking the world..now we create new legends,in memory of them ;)
Funny that as you were first playing, I thought of the Edge with his sliding, chiming riffs. As for effects, I'm a ballpark guy too. I get it close and play, don't delay. Hell, I wanna rock. 😄 I've been playing for some time, but so much appreciate you showing us these songs. Cuts way back on the "figure it out" time, so we can spend more time playing, not delaying. Grest stuff, man. ✌
Thank you for sharing this I have a hard time reading music and so I either can listen to a song or watch somebody play it on guitar like yourself and 9 out of 10 times I can pick it up fairly quick. I love this song and now I can play it myself which is Awsome Sauce, Thank you again for the well put video in simple, easy learning terms at least for me
thank you for taking the time to share with us and show us how to play
I have heard this song in the past, but I never realized how good it is.. I know keep you comments silent please..Just a killer track.
The way you got the tone was pretty awesome for a novice like myself.
I read an article a number of years ago in which Billy described the origins of the sound and effects in this song. The pedal board that he was using at that time ( one could imagine the boxes of the day that would have lived on his board) was the key. He turned on every pedal he had on his board which where set up for various songs and voila! That was the genesis of the sound of this intro and breaks. Happy accidents.
Without aging myself!!!! Hahaha..
I frigging love this sound, this song gets me up!
U did a magnificent job!
I caught myself wanting to begin singing every time u started over.....lol
Great vids, and you are absolutely correct when you said great is great, whether it’s complex or simple.
I think this is the biggest problem with today, people are trying to be way too complex. We just need to get back to the basics, look at what Zeppelin and countless others did in the 70s, they just borrowed from the old basic blues stuff and put their own swing on it, that's what we need to get back to today...
There's so much great 70s stuff out there, I wish some modern bands would borrow and get influenced from it a bit more.
Really enjoyed this lesson thank you very much. Great stuff. Easy to understand - wonderful teacher. 👍
I like your demeanor and your generous affection of the song. Your bit about setting up the sound was easy to understand and clever.
Well I've written may lessons, but you take this to a whole new level. Excellent, thanks.
Never realised The Cult were popular in the states........love this riff.
Back in the day here in Ohio one of the clubs close to my university campus had AC/DC - Cult night every week on Thursday for a while. Think DJ and dance floor with songs from only those two bands. One of the few and the worst bar fights I was ever involved in happened one of those nights. Closest I've ever come to going to jail.
@@Zoetropeification What year was that?
We played this in the band I was in during high school out in California. It was super fun!
Thanks for the great lesson! I have the Nova System as well and I completely agree with you, they’re an incredible unit. The drive/distortion function can be a bit noisy but it’s still manageable.
One of my favorites, thanks for the lesson, you play well. Your tone sounds great
Sir, always love your lessons and as have said before your genuine enthusiasm for music always comes through. Of course I watched your vid on Bowies 'Heros', and it occurred to me that you could take Billy's droning scale walkdown , and combine with the move to Am to Em and back to D, ala 'Heros' and have a pretty cool lick. I think in order to actually become a musician, the key is to not just copy a song, but learn ideas and then make something new. And yes, I love when people can take something that on the face of it is almost absurdly simple and turn it into a great song. Hell Bob Dylan was a master of that.
NEVER thought I could play this. Thx.
IS THAT FREEDOM ROCK??? WELL TURN IT UP!!!! Lmao! Anyone remember that commercial????
😂😂😂
Hell yes. Thanks for the 1991 flashback.
Yes sir I remember that , also if it’s too loud your too old !!! Remember that
@@drdave971 That saying was on the back of a KISS tshirt.
@@superjoint57
That’s right
It was from kiss radio station 99.5
👍
Been playing this song for year but saw this video and learned so much thank you my man 👍
another great lesson,i was playing this wrong for along time ,now much better thanks!
yeah Billy makes it simple - that's what a professional does - and Duffy is Epic and Original
X Girl You don't like the song, we get it. We also don't care.
X Girl Yet here you are, seeking out their videos, to post negative comments.
I'd suggest that says rather a lot about you...
lazaglider Burn!!! At fat girl ..I mean Xman, or girl.
Just what I needed, Thaks Andy.
At first I wanted to write a mean comment because of a 4 minute intro, but now I'm glad I didn't do it, what a great lesson! I mean, there's so much atrotious misleading lessons here on YT it's a joy to find really good one. Thanks!
Your lessons are always great, bro! Thank you!
that was one of the best tutorials ive watched man! bravo.
Dylan Burns pretty much all of his tutorials are
So easy to see where Sweet Child O`Mine came from!!, G N R used to support The Cult on US tours!
Shut-up & Play:
~ Hello again (... I once left a "comment" to your lesson for the song "Alright Now" by Free). These are a few of thoughts that occurred to me while I was watching this video: Around the 4:18 time-counter mark you mentioned "the Billy Duffy tone". Just to mention this - Billy's mainstay guitar is a Gretsch "White Falcon"; although the one time that I saw The Cult in-concert (at a local multi-band festival during 2012) he sometimes also used a Gibson "Les Paul Classic Custom" (which was a short-lived model from around the early 2010s, that had a "torrified maple" fretboard). Also, the continual "drone string" motif used in this song always struck me as being influenced by East-Indian sitar music. Finally - , yeah - , it's amusing that there is a (probably) acoustic-guitar in this song, whose purpose was just to play that ONE CHORD 😁.
simple can often equal brilliant
Absolutely true...
Simple = elegant
Great lesson, great song. Would love anything by The Cure, Echo and The Bunnymen, Siouxsie and The Banshees if you get chance
+Rayza1983 Thanks bud, so many great bands and songs from the eighties! cheers
+Shutup & Play - Guitar Tutorials - No thank you for all your lessons. Always spot on! Yer 80's was probs my fav time for music. Love post punk, new and dark wave
Spot on Rayza. Great days for music and The Toffees too 👍
A classic! 80s Cult was the best. Funny you mentioned would be good for bagpipes, that's how I've always described Billy's tone on this song. Great vid!
+The Rubber Band Thanks bud.
It would be great if the used bagpipes on the intro...then switched to guitars did...ac/DC did this on one of there songs...kicked ass
Too much talking, explain it once, then play it
G'day from down under and thank you for another great vid!
Great lesson, thanks. Would love to see a Coming Down (Drug Tongue) lesson If anyone can, it would be you!
This my new lockdown challenge. Thanks👍🏻

If you’re a fan of the drone notes, check out Big Country or The Skids - it’s almost their trademark. Great song, nicely explained, thanks.
I grew up in the 80's listening to this band!! Now I want to learn this tune!! Thank You so much for the lesson!! Cheers!! Please keep the 80's bands coming! :) Do you take requests?
Rain!!!
Best tutorial i saw!
Hey fella.. I think you do a great job on this video, people dont realize that Billy's sound (like many of his others) is
a clean sound, why peps want to distort it is Sanctuary !!
You're making the rest of us look bad... great job! Great tutorial!
It's super simple and cool to learn, thanks
A technique the late great Stuart Adamson from Fife in Scotland used many years before the Cult guitarist. Legend has it, the Cult guitarist seen Adamson playing live and copied his guitar playing style.Want to hear that Scottish/bagpipe sound on guitar ? Just listen to "Fields Of Fire" by Big Country then you'll get it. Also check out "Into the Valley" by the Skids, Stuarts first band. I'm surprised the tutor on this video hasn't mentioned Adamson.
HE TOPPED HIMSELF DIDNT HE....I LIKED THE SKIDS..AND I KNOW WHHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT SOUNDING SCOTISH...
Superb tutorial, I am sure all those who wondered now know!
Thanks for a very interesting lesson, great stuff!
Thats not forgetting the man who did it first with the Cult.
Another great lesson. You nailed the tone! Thanks again!
Saw the Cult open for Metallica in 1989 and they just killed it. The pit during their set was the most violent I was ever in (that's saying something) ... dudes were coming out of there smiling bloodied and cleaved.
What a night!
just fantastic easy going easy to learn
Thanks for this! You know, I always went the long way round with either barre or power chords, Derr !.. How silly of me, this is a bit of a eurika! moment. You've just lit the lightbulb and , Ping! Everything is crystal clear now, the whole song blasting out of my amp! Think I might even make it the 12" version too! Haha. Thanks so much!
Awesome! Thanks for the tutorial
Hey man you want one of the best guitar teachers on UA-cam I just have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering for the solo comfortably numb you played it on a Les Paul how did you get that sound if it was originally done on a strat? Is it because of your pickups? Cuz I'm getting a les Paul and I'm afraid I won't be able to do the solo because it was originally done on a strat. Thanks so much Man U rock!
Awesome lesson material some of the best ever chez
Thank You for your wonderful instruction on one of the great rock and roll songs.My only complaint about this song is that it needs MORE COWBELL!
`This one would be a good one for bag pipes.`
That does it : I just subscribed.
Bagpipes, yes!!! So, I'm not the only one hearing it. The song has a very Celtic feel in general.
Nice, thanks! For a "reinterpretation" of this G/D-drone, in the same key, check out Satriani's guitar part in Chickenfoot's "Sexy Little Thing". I was wondering what I found so familiar and mesmerizing about that song, now I remember.....The Cult!
Love The Cult. Great job!
Thanks for another great lesson ... from my favorite Guitar Ninja
Thank you! You are the best teacher that gets to the " point" and no wasting time of " Iddle prattle".👍
Great song! Excellent tutorial. :) Thank you so much. ~Tom
Very cool lesson. Thanks a lot.
Great song, killer lesson...what year is your Paul and what pickups do you use,thanks
Great videos, even when I know the songs, I still gotta watch you play! I've seen a few attempts at CCR's Ramble Tamble hint!
I had to laugh when you mentioned bagpipes, Duffy didn’t write this, he heard me play it the Glasgow School of Art when his band was called the southern death cult, in the eighties, copied it and released it as an original, when they rebranded themselves as the Cult, the comment is spot on, as I originally wrote this as a Jamming piece playing with folk musicians, I’m Scottish
Hey! I love your explanations and stories about songs! The Cult was under appreciated. Those guys kicked some ass.
Keep rocking brother!
Back for seconds. I'd love to see more tutorials for Billy Duffy. There is a great Ernie Ball interview on this site titled "Pursuit of Tone Billy Duffy" that has some great insight into Billy's influences and orgins of the band. Highly reccomend watching it if you haven't already. Peace!
Can you do one using his Gretsch White Falcon? The pang of the White Falcon is legendary. I love the sound of it.
Excellent!! Re the Edge, check out "ElectriCo" from BOY. Believe its Drop D. but the riff will be noticeably similar.
You have a great ear. I would like to request Blue Morning, Blue Day by Foreigner.
When you get time. I got sort of close but it gets tricky knowing just where they are executing the notes. Thanks, you are the best! -rw
This is excellent thank you!!! It's hard to keep hitting the d string though!!
Superb!! Thanks!!
+Mark Love Thanks Mark.
very cool, man! I really like your playing ! :)
Great tutourial excellent lesson
You nailed it. Thank you
so good thank you for this
Great stuff...the notes are from Indian Raga ..cheers for showing bro'
Great band killer track killer album
Great lesson.
