Great to see this track getting some respect, and fascinating to see it broken down like this- I really appreciate the insight and research. I've always loved the original "Canned Wheat" version the most.
I'm a pre-UA-cam guitar player who learned all these wonder things from Randy Bachman off the recordings. You're showing me that I got a lot of it right. Thanks!
Interesting. Been playing this tune since 1970-something (I'm 62). I play that clean guitar bit a little different. I play a one-guitar version that always seemed to work for me and it's very close to yours. I'll have to give the song a listen, maybe with headphones. Excellent choice by the way. I love the Guess Who. I always liked Star Baby. I remember when it came out in '74. "Clap for the Wolfman" was on the same album (Road Food, Kurt Winter guitar). Thank you for your videos. I like them a lot.
Yeah thats a great song. Great job on breaking all that down. Lots of easy little licks in there. Ive always said most of the time allot of the simple stuff in music sounds the best.
Great lesson. Thanks so much for putting the chord diagrams up with the lesson. It can be difficult to know which strings are being pressed down when camera shot is dead on with the guitar. I really appreciate your extra work to make that happen. Thank you.
Thanks again, I got to see The Guess Who live a few times, back in the day , here in The small town of Oxford, Pa at a club " bar". Later on on the big stage in Philly. Pa.
Dude I’m in bed, sick today and doing a deep dive into ur tutorials. Ur preference for the neck pickup on fuzz is something I learned years ago when I bought a Roger Mayer Octavia pedal (remember those?). It really only sounded good on the neck pick up on my Stratocaster. I almost think some of the fuzz pedals have a more pronounced effect with a cleaner amp setting. Even direct in to a mixing board sounds good on some tunes. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for doing an excellent, detailed lesson on this great Guess Who song. 👍 We saw them in concert last year, and although there is only one original member still in the band, they sounded great and played all their hits. Please do some more Guess Who, maybe No Sugar Tonight.
Great stuff your breakdown of Randy's fuzz tone parts demonstrates how its sound accentuates the angry feeling of the song. A great musician always helps to improve on the theme and feeling rather than be a showoff which make guitarists like Randy in the same company of George and Keith
Such a great song, I grew up on all the music of the time. Took up guitar in '66, really got into R&B Motown Chicago Blues the Stones ofc. Anyway I have a song lesson suggestion, Power of Love by Huey Lewis. I really appreciate your channel, it takes me back to how I learned songs, by listening to the record and or working it out with friends. Much success, Thanks ATB😎🎸
I just recorded a version last night and saw you had done a lesson today. Randy mentions Buffalo Springfield's "Rock N Roll Woman" as inspiration, but his fill is more Mr. Soul solo overdrive.
Big fan here of your vids and the Guess Who. Now that you've done this one I'd really love to see your take on American Woman. I've got the rhythm down (there's a trick to it - the D is played open) but I'd love to hear your take on the lead. I play it across the neck with scales but he's probably sliding up the neck. Keep up the great work! 👍
@12footchain It's funny I played that wrong for years until I watched a video of Randy Bachman describing how he wrote the song on stage after tuning up. It's crazy how easy it is and it gives the riff a 3d sound since he's going from the seventh fret B to the open notes back to the 7th fret E. Can even play it and sing it at the same time something I couldn't do before I figured that out.
Awesome tutelage figured this one among many other tumes lifting the tone arm needle and ruining a perfectly good vinyl 😂but thats how we did it back then unless you had a good reel to reel most of us couldn't afford after guitar amp and effects pedal purchases😞🙆
I love this channel. I am a happy Patreon participant too. So much fun.
Awesome! Thank you!
I love this tune. Great lesson! I'd love to see a lesson of Argent's "Hold Your Head Up".
Excellent. I've always loved this track. Thanks for the help with the clean fills.
Great to see this track getting some respect, and fascinating to see it broken down like this- I really appreciate the insight and research. I've always loved the original "Canned Wheat" version the most.
"I'm going to roll the volume down a bit , no I'm not" Love it! Great lesson!
I'm a pre-UA-cam guitar player who learned all these wonder things from Randy Bachman off the recordings.

It was a CLASSIC!!! (and you do it JUSTICE!!!!!) Really involved work as far as songwriting goes.

Thanks again for another great lesson! I love that song!!!

Thank you 👏🏾 I searched and found this gem 💎. One of my jams from Randy Bachman and Guess Who

You’re becoming one of my favorite UA-cam channels. Thank you sir

Greetings!

I'm from Winnipeg, this is cool! Thanks!

Wow- you figured this one out to a T". Great song and lesson.
Thank you God for this beautiful band and song
👍
Great lessons. Thank you for posting these. Wonder if you would break down Laughing by, The Guess Who. Thanks again
Such a great song, I grew up on all the music of the time. Took up guitar in '66, really got into R&B Motown
Chicago Blues the Stones ofc. Anyway I have a song lesson suggestion, Power of Love by Huey Lewis.

YES!!! That open D! Not many people get that! I'll get to that one

This is probably a dumb question, but do you just record the different guitar and just sync them up afterwards in your editing software?
I make a backing track stripped of all the guitars, then record mine over that.
Good video!
Cool song🎵
Great Canadian band!😊
Wow. You don't see a lot of Guess Who lessons these days. :-)
Thanks! How about Let it Ride by BTO?
I learned how to play boys don’t cry by The Cure
Great cover 👌 👍 no time. Would you consider running down the street
Also by the Guess Who
Awesome tutelage figured this one among many other tumes lifting the tone arm needle and ruining a perfectly good vinyl 😂but thats how we did it back then unless you had a good reel to reel most of us couldn't afford after guitar amp and effects pedal purchases😞🙆
Thanks for your lesson. With all respect; you look like Julian Lennon.
This would be a great lesson if you had 4 arms and could play all u show. Way to complicated. How would 1 guitar player could play it not 4. sorry.
Aw yess mate! 😎
