Hey Dunsy I never liked the sound of that second part of the solo but it is what it is right. Thanks 🙏 my good friend Dunsy. Peace and your the best. I know you work hard to get these lessons spot on.
One of my favorite songs. The only vocal line by Klaus is "Ahhhh..." Before the solo. Those diads are great tension before the release of the guitar solo. A brilliant song by Rudolf . Michael may have helped but Rudy actualized it. That was great thank you!
One of mine too, absolutely classic. A perfect Metal instrumental with power and melody. Thanks a lot for checking out the video, Maxx, much appreciated.
You keep showing us the way you play it, sounds just fine to me.
Cheers Andrew, thanks a lot for checking it out. I felt that this one deserved a proper in depth look.
Hello Friend! Well done! 👍Congratulations by Stefano 😊
Hello Friend! Thank you! 👍Much appreciated by Dunsy 😃
Yes well done indeed
BAD ASS!!! 😛 😛 😛 THANK YOU
Thanks buddy, appreciate you checking it out.
Great lesson! Thank you!
Thanks buddy, appreciate you checking it out. Love this tune.
Awesome track. Thanks so much for this. More Schenker please!
Thanks a lot for checking it out, my friend. Much appreciated.
I was practicing yesterday and I thought I should do Coast to Coast tomorrow. I go on you tube and their you are with this lesson. Totally blew me away, I still can't believe it.
You're more than welcome, my friend. A classic collection of riffs and an iconic solo.
Looking forward to this, Dunsy! Love the LP Special but I do miss seeing your Michael Schenker Flying V 😁
Yeah, it was a nice guitar. Sadly another one that had to go to make room for something else. Michael is one of my favourite players, but I can’t do him or that guitar the justice they deserve - plus folk kept wanting to hear the extended version of Rock Bottom when I took it out to a gig! 🤘🛸
@@DunsysGuitarWorld Better that than Big Bottom! 😂
Well done mate. I've poured over tabs posted online and couldn't seem to get it. This is great help!
This song has always been like the proverbial "brick wall to the face" of late 70's rock. Sends chills up my spine.
Now if I could only get the same crunch out of my shit box modeling amp.
Thank ya - yeah I figured that spending a bit of time over this one was well worth it. Such a great tune. 100% classic.
🇧🇷🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶Hello from Brazil. Super. Excellent performance.
Thanks for the fine guitar lesson and tabs
Thanks for checking it out, Buddy, much appreciated.
Cracking Dunsy. Brilliant song , really well played.
Thanks David, I know you're a man who can most definitely play this kinda stuff!
Your iconic dunsy keep up the great work thanks for sharing 👍👍
Too kind, Sam, too kind!
Wow, This lesson is going to give me hours of fun. Thanks for throwing in some easy options. Do you have any recommendations on how to achieve a useable tone?
I think it’s more a cleaner tone to make it easier to follow. That being said Fast Eddie and indeed the great Schenker used surprisingly cleaner sounds than todays metal.
Yeah, I didn't use a whole lot of drive on this one - I think a 70's Marshall setting on my Kemper. The P90 in the bridge is a super high output pickup, which works really well with dynamics when you dig in for the solo.
Really great lesson, Dunsy 👍 I’d say it’s iconic too! It must take a lot of time and effort to make these videos - the close-up with tab is really well presented and easy to follow. Thank you 🙏 🎸
You’re very welcome, Sir. Always happy to share whatever knowledge I have. I worked out that it takes, on average, 1 hour for me to make 1 minute of video (including all the work I have to do to get my playing up to speed so I can actually play it, lol 😂). So this one took me literally a whole day. Over a few days, obv, as I have a few other things I need to be getting on with, according to my better half 🍺🤘
One of the most comprehensive tutorials in UA-cam land. It’s sure to get plenty views, certainly by me. Loved the wee bit tab and allowing enough time to get fingers where they need to be. With lesson decided spacing for easy access to the parts fast forward and rewinding. I’m starting to understand how it took you 20 hours to edit it. Masterpiece
A labour of love, this one! I thought that the song deserved me taking the time to set it all out (apart from the end but, which I still need to learn, obv).
Fuking brilliant !!!!
Hey Dunsy, my friend. So good to be back. I don't get your lessons sent to me so I forget about you until you plateaued on your site, congratulations 👏🎉. So I thought id spend an hour with you brushing up on Coast to Coast. It only took me as long as it took you to explain everything. Wooo! The last time we text, you were worried about not having many likes on your tutorials. Now look how things have turned around for you. Peace 🕊️ brother. See ya on the next one.
Thanks buddy, appreciate your support over the years. Yeah, I get way less likes on a tutorial video than I do on a video of me playing the song. Not sure why that is.
@@DunsysGuitarWorld People especially guitar players are just weird, lol.
@@DunsysGuitarWorld and you play so well, they like watching you. Everyone that watches your site doesn't have to be a guitarist.
Excellent instruction. Like a genuine instructor thank you
Thanks so much for checking it out, much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing this! I wish all UA-cam instructionals were this well put together!🤘
Thank you! Another Scorpions lesson will be going live tomorrow.
Alright Dunsy, more of my cup of tea, thanks 🙏 bro.
Cheers Bud, there’s something out there for everyone 👍
Great lesson Dunsy! Keep them coming! 🤘🎸🤘
Thanks PJ, appreciate you checking it out. A classic!
Well done, Dunsy! A solid guitar lesson. The tone of the P90 pickups are also growing on me more. 👍
Cheers Matt - yeah, I'm very much loving the P90's on this one.
Great work, very nice instrumental from old times, keep it up
Thanks buddy, appreciate you checking it out.
👍🏻👍🏻
I like the lesson and I also like your Hellanbach t shirt, matey. I knew those lads! Hellanbach that is, not Scorpions (I think they prefer it if people don't put 'the' at the front of that, but I could easily be wrong...). Although I did see ('The'?) Scorpions at Newcastle City Hall just after Lovedrive came out. They were great, in a naff, cluelessly Germanic kind of a way. I recall their-then bassist Francis Buchholz asking us in the audience, 'You vont more Scorpions rock?!' Well of course we fucking did! As for Hellanbach, lead singer Jimmy Brash once got trapped in the toilet at me mam's house in Durham when he went for a shit one Sunday afternoon. I had to bust him out, which meant kicking the door in Sweeney-style. I'm still waiting for the bastard to pay for the damages! Keep up the good work, Dunsy - always interesting, useful and entertaining. Cheers, son - PT x
Without a doubt one of the finest comments ever, Sir! 😂 Ah, ah, ha, ha, genuinely bellowed at that whole thing. Man, I love The Big H. I was speaking to someone a wee while back at a gig here in Edinburgh (a Geordie lad, funnily enough), who said that Dave was very unwell and hadn’t played in a long time. Really sorry to hear that if that’s the case. A really fantastic player and a great band. I’m hoping to do a feature on them at some point, but it’s so damn difficult to play (and the tuning is real low which my guitars are brutal at). Jimmy must huv been in a right lot of bother if he got stuck in the shitter, I hope he recovered better than yer ma’s bog door!
I think this may be the first song i ever learned to play (although never quite got to the solo!)... I played it the Rudolph way... will try it again see if it all comes flooding back!
Hope I helped with that, Paul. I think the first part of the solo is pretty doable, the second part can perhaps be played with a couple of notes less (the difficult ones, lol!) and most folks wouldn't notice. That's how I roll!
@@DunsysGuitarWorld Yep it was great. I haven't quite got the speed up yet but your tutorial was fantastic. So what's next!
@@paulwhickerthetallvicar excellent stuff! Good man. Um, lesson wise I’m not sure (they seem to be falling in number of views the more I do - which to me says that I’m attracting a much more discerning audience! 😆). I have a video on Friday with me and my mate discussing the Lovedrive to Love at First Sting albums (which I was laughing at while editing it yesterday!), Saturday’s video is a closer look at my new Melody Maker.
@@DunsysGuitarWorld Sounds good, love both albums. My take is do what you enjoy, UA-cam is a fickle place I guess!
@@paulwhickerthetallvicar yeah, 100% - if earnings were a consideration I should probably stay clear of obscure NWOBHM covers, lol 😂
Hey Dunsy, great job. i enjoy and learn alot from this great vid. amy chance you can send the tab? thanks
Thanks for checking it out buddy - I don’t actually have a copy of the tabs, I just typed them out on the video, as far as I remember.
Excellent tutorial Dunsy. If I could maybe make a suggestion for future videos, perhaps at the start, you could talk about the guitar your using in the particular video and what the original player of the song used/uses.
Cheers buddy. Yeah, something to consider. I guess the choice of guitar for me is pretty much just down to what I was playing that week. No real rhyme or reason to it, just whatever I had restrung and set up at the weekend.
@@DunsysGuitarWorld I figured as much, don’t recall Matthias or Rudolph ever playing any Les Paul Specials 😉
@@aaronoid1 I might do some New York Dolls lessons with a Flying V 😂
No School Kids Here !
you forgot the fast run.
