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.

Fantastic lesson, Geoff. Sublime, pure genius song, RIP, Rick, you left something that'll be immortal.
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!
Hi Noozitrep, I heard that story to. Whatever he did it is a great riff.
your teaching stile is the best ive come across and very inspiring.63 year old and heading for my guitar, cheers.
Thanks I appreciate that
Hope your guitar playing is better than your spelling. It's 'style'.

Hey Geoff, brilliant stuff mate, thanks for showing,.any chance of doing the intro for this great song please ....and really enjoying your channel...and turning into ultimate bedroom Rock Star much to annoyance everyone else in the house Haha 😄
Just wanted to post a quick note the tuing is actually Low E tuned to G A tuned to B High E tuned down to D please take note!!!
Jon Shaw yes all the strings must be G B or D
DGDGBD, tuning the string up the much is just good way to break strings.
@@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.
Hi Jon, Rain is already in the works as it uses the same tuning as the Mystery Song
you are awesome, pal!
Thanks glad you like the lesson. Thanks for the support.
Great lesson many thanks, title track would be nice, ' Blue For You ' .
Great suggestion!
great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
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.
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.
And peeps say Quo were simple, their skill was making it sound simple
Totally agree

I haven't even watched this video yet but yes yes yes yes !!!
Hi Dale that explains why I saw a comment before it registered a view. I hope its doesn't disappoint
@@GuitarMates it's perfect pal!
@@daleywhaley Cheer thanks for that.
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
Your playing it wrong!!!
I agree, an entire step missing
