    Just wanted to correct me comment on the tuning which is as follows:
    High E - down to D
    B
    G
    D
    A down to G
    Low E up to G
    The song concerns a young man's encounter with a prostitute. The B-side was "Drifting Away", from the band's 1974 album Quo. The song was written by Rick Parfitt and Bob Young.
    The line “STs showing, you really got me going” left many wondering what kind of illicit code words the band might be using in their lyrics - though it turned out that “STs” simply stood for “stocking tops”.
    Mystery Song only reached number 11 in the UK charts. Personally I feel that it should have been much higher as i rate this as one of there better songs.
    Blue for You is the ninth studio album by Status Quo. It was released in March 1976, and is the last album until 1980's Just Supposin' that they produced themselves, which resulted in subsequent albums having a noticeably lighter, more pop oriented sound.
    The song was reprized, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare). It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.

    Francis Rossi told the story of how the riff for this song came about. They were in the studio recording the album (Blue For You) when the rest of the band left Rick Parfitt behind while they left for the night, Rick saying he was working on a riff. He had taken speed (allegedly). When they came back the next morning Rick was there sitting on a stool with his guitar practising the riff. 'Oh. You're in early' they said. He had been there all night!

    • @GuitarMates
      @GuitarMates  4 роки тому

      DGDGBD, tuning the string up the much is just good way to break strings.

    • @leesloan8216
      @leesloan8216 6 місяців тому

      ​@@bericjeavons8362 This tuning is open G with a low E to G rather than D, I have never broken any strings using this tuning and I am a heavy player, but I do use hybrid sets 10-52

    Top man, Rick Parfitts finest hour and a track I've always wanted to learn,... Whilst on the subject of Blue for you why not do Rick's second best track?....Rain.

    • @GuitarMates
      @GuitarMates  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Jon, Rain is already in the works as it uses the same tuning as the Mystery Song

    On the main riff are you muting any strings? As it just sounds like a complete mess of a racket when I play it, the noise from the other strings cancels out the melody.

    • @GuitarMates
      @GuitarMates  4 роки тому

      Hi Jon I am muting but also strumming across the 2 lower string at an angle so as not to strike the lower strings and using the fingers of my left hand to mute the remaining strings.

    Your sound is a bit tinning, needs more grunt.

      it's too heavily distorted, almost fuzzy, Rick played it clean with phaser or similar it gets heavier because it's a Ac30 at full chat
