    Iconic album with this golden hidden track! I bought this record new at Licorice Pizza, North Hollywood, CA January 1980.

    I've been listening to this song my whole life in standard form,..but when Andy slowed it down at the end, I realized what I must do. I will get the Blues Brothers car from the movie, with the huge PA horns on top, and play the slow version far and wide, while driving at top speed. Thank you for providing me this opportunity.

    Do you mind telling me the finger positions are for D and A. I am sorry, but I am not completely sure what strings are being pressing down on or not.

  • @the59gibsonlespaul
    @the59gibsonlespaul 11 років тому

    Is there anyway we can request songs for Andy to do lessons on or is do you guys already have a set list of songs you are doing?

  • @BobConanOwen
    @BobConanOwen 8 років тому +2

    How come on the intro video it looks like you are playing a completely different chord technique on the main riff to the standard power Chord riff you show us? That first technique looks like the way the clash would play it live too..

    • @isaac_rodriguez17
      @isaac_rodriguez17 7 років тому +1

      BobConanOwen he's doing major triads in the intro which like you said is the accurate way of playing it

    whether you find tab or not , it would be really helpful if you try and learn it simply by the vid. trust me

  • @Danieltprout
    @Danieltprout 11 років тому

    That's gotta be a fender amp. I'd know that sound anywhere!

  • @arsbadmojo
    @arsbadmojo 6 років тому

    I appreciate the production value of this video, and don't even mind that it is basically a commercial for a reverb pedal (gotta pay the bills somehow) but there's some issues. Biggest one for me; watch yourself playing during the intro part of this video, watch your hands forming the A-D part. First, you don't say at any time that you're playing A and D, but worse, you aren't doing the same barre chords that you do later when you're showing the close ups. It looks more like a modified F at the 3rd fret. It's cool, sounds great, but I wish you had done a close up of that finger positioning.

  •  11 років тому

    Oh yes, You're probably right, but SGJ and LPJ are just stunning, and cost about 1000$ ;]

  • @DiatonicVids
    @DiatonicVids 11 років тому

    PGS doesn't carry Gibson guitars to the best of my knowledge. There are other brands the cover a similar niche in the guitar kingdom, but do it at a much better cost-to-quality ratio.

  • @77Kohout

  • @jjp009
    @jjp009 2 місяці тому

    Why are you playing those three main verse chords differently in the lesson than you are when you played it in the beginning of the video? I want to learn it the way you felt it originally....that's the way it should sound...not with the bar chords.

    • @ProGuitarShopDemos
      @ProGuitarShopDemos  2 місяці тому

      The chords are the same, I just played the A with my thumb on the low string but thought it better to show a proper form in the lesson. Still an A chord either way. Thanks

    @BCEFilms 8 років тому

    Sorry for my beginners status here, just starting out learning how to play but most sites seem to have it as D A A yet it seems as though he is playing other chords. Can anyone help me with this, as it is a wonderful song. And I apologize for my amateur questions here.

    • @JohnMartin-ng5ug
      @JohnMartin-ng5ug 8 років тому

      +BCE Films
      Look at 1:55. That is where the D-A-A riff is taught/played. It is one part of the song, but obviously there are other parts.

    • @skottietilson5925
      @skottietilson5925 8 років тому +1

      +BCE Films Watch his right hand and which strings he strums. For the the first "A" he doesn't strum the top string or two, then the second "A" he does. This helps distinguis the 2 notes.

    • @BCEFilms
      @BCEFilms 8 років тому

      +Skottie Tilson thank you so much, that has definitely helped since I've had a bit of a problem with the right strumming as well!

    • @BCEFilms
      @BCEFilms 8 років тому +1

      +Skottie Tilson Do you mind telling me the finger positions for D and A. My apologies again but I'm not wholly sure on what strings he's pressing down on or not.

  • @dannythompson1948
    @dannythompson1948 10 місяців тому

    Lol im realizing that this is one of those song's that sounds simple, yet nobody can play it. This is the ten video ive seen where its not only played using different chordas, but it also sounds just off enough... does anybody know the correct way to play it?

  • @siriuslizwood
    @siriuslizwood 10 років тому

  • @SasquachPL
    @SasquachPL 11 років тому

    Actually, no. "Zaginam czasoprzestrzeń" in a rough translation would mean "I bend time and space". And btw dyslexia is a medical condition which makes it a lot harder to learn to read and write, it's not the inability to do it.

  • @dapperdragon5602
    @dapperdragon5602 9 років тому

    I just want to learn how to play guitar on it. Not a waste of 77 seconds of the song that I CAME here for. You wouldn't think I already knew the song? And then 29 seconds of random stuff that doesn't help me with learning this song on the guitar at all.

    • @derdudernan
      @derdudernan 9 років тому +4

      +Westley Trease Jeez Westley, don't get your panties in a twist. In case you missed it he was showing you how to play the song in those 77 seconds. This song is simple enough to just watch the chords he's playing, if you really need instruction beyond that, maybe you need to start with something simpler. Thank you to the uploader for taking time to show how the song is played.
