    RIP John Sykes ! We are going to lay this Friday night in remembrance of him. I knew I could learn it fast from ole Carl. Best on the net !

    It's amazing to see just how simple the main riff actually is. Once you get it right at a slow speed, all you have to do is play it at the right speed. Well, that's the way I usually learn riffs and stuff.

      Jeff Roth It’s like that with anything music related today. Remember having to get your “music news” from magazines like Hit Parader and Circus magazine? There is something to be said for learning a song by constantly hitting rewind on a cassette tape or back on a CD, it taught you how to play by ear. Once you did it a hundred times you could tell by listening to a new song where they where on the fretboard or what chord they where playing. You had to actually work for it to get better. I’m not saying it’s any easier to learn a guitar today then it was a few decades ago but it’s easier to find tabs or instructional videos thanks to UA-cam and apps like Songsterr and Ultimate Guitar.

      Are you kidding me Jeff Roth. I’ve been trying to do this for a week. This song is intermediate to advanced. Of course this guy can play it he’s a guitar teacher and obviously been playing for many years. Not so easy for some of us.

    Nice tutorial. Thanks. It cleared up a few nuances for me. But for those wanting to really nail that main blues riff, there is one thing Carl missed: when the B-C-C# chromatic precedes it, the usual first note (B on the 5th string, 2nd fret) is not used. Instead strike the middle E first (4th string, 2nd fret). Then do as Carl said for the other times (starting on the 5th string B). It's a small thing, and easy to miss for sure (I did it wrong forever myself). But when you do it this way and get used to it, then it becomes easy to hear on the recording -- and it's even cooler imo.

    I’ve been playing guitar since 12. I only dropped out because my teacher was teaching me in Spanish. Now as adult I realize how naïve it was on my part. I lost the opportunity of learning from a great teacher.
    Back in the day there was no UA-cam and the Internet was slow thanks to net zero. Technology has changed a game. Kids within two years are mastering Bohemian Rhapsody. Still the older generation earned their stripes through trials and tribulations. Nothing but passion sweat and tears. Fantastic video.

    Thank You for this lesson. It is the most spot on lesson on UA-cam. You play it very well, the tuning and tone are perfect, and you really show us "wannabe's" how it is done. I have always liked this song. IN DEPTH!!!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your awesome lessons! For those of us still trying to dial in on tone, it would be helpful if the description listed settings (i.e. used distortion at X, with a slight delay). Keep 'em coming - very helpful.
