Many of us worship Yngwie and Van Halen. Yet more is said with a few repeated notes in this main guitar lead. Great job as always Steve.

[@SuperBowser87]

Great lesson Steve. Was very sad to hear the loss of a rock icon.

[@Thedagda801]

Fantastic, Robert Fripps guitar always made that song. Thank you

[@sixstring4597]

Great Lesson Steve, David Bowie was a big inspiration on me always loved his music his unique sound.

[@jonmessenger5621]

Thank you sir. You have honored the man in the greatest way possible, his music.His talent and approach to music and vocals was a little different than some. But the heart and soul was always deep inside. Heroes is one of my favorite songs. I have enjoyed your video lesson for a while and love what you do for those of us who are still learning. Thank you again :)Take care and may God bless

[@wlflightlr]

Thanks, I've seen many lessons on this song but for me yours make the most sense, especially if you are singing it and playing at the same time.

[@Guitarzoom]

+wlflightlr Thank you!

[@michaeld.mahoney9106]

Great - thanks for the lesson! In the early 80's before getting up my nerve to look for an all "girl" band to join in San Francisco I took a rock band course at the Blue Bear School of Music and one of the songs we did for our performance was Rebel Rebel - I just played rhythm guitar and another person played the iconic riff. Listening to this I can really appreciate the unusual and beautiful chord progression and approach.

[@aa8ky]

Great lesson, Steve. You make everything so easy.

[@vxmoto23]

Always one of my favorite songs and you rocked it! Love the interpretation!

[@Guitarzoom]

+Vince Howard Nice to hear that!

[@surfrby8876]

I just happened upon you the other night Steve,I've feared theory for years, but started watching some of your videos and got hooked, you 're a great teacher, I ve also been looking for a way to play this song electric or acoustic,but couldn't come up with anything interesting,this version did it for me, again your approach to teaching opened things up for me ;) thx

[@kingsixstring]

Very good lesson.....I have just read Fripp quoted as saying he did not use an Ebow on Heroes but others use it to try to emulate his performance....he said it was a Les Paul into a Marshall in combination with his technique to get those great tones and sustain.

[@NigelThompson-hb5jg]

If you listen to Visconti he states they had an arrangement of mikes across the studio, sound triggered at distances to give layers of delay to Fripp's playing,, whilst he was apparently just whilst sitting in a corner doing as Tony told him with his jazz chords....... :)

[@stephenbingham5935]

Love the song, espec those little wailing parts. Thanks for sharing them, great lesson, easy to follow. I am off and into it.

[@ricardoturin5858]

Great lesson like always. I save all of them and I thought David Bowie was great!!!

[@Guitarzoom]

Hi. Thanks for the comment and for sharing! Glad you liked the lesson and hope it was helpful. Feel free to ask any questions of you need to and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

[@ROHill1956]

[@JROC2112]

[@adrianoranzani7635]

[@johntriglia3947]

[@mpaz48mo]

Dear Master Steve. You are a Fantastic Musician . Please Big Friend. . . . When will You come to play in Brazil ?
Receive my big embrace and I hope for You many, many success.

[@jeanconstantineau2443]

Awesome lesson Steve!

[@SurfsideRick]

Thank your for taking the time, Steve. Very informed lesson.( Hard to believe it has been a year.) One point / question: at the "we can be heroes" part I always played Am, Em, D (that's what I heard). (Of course, with the various parts you're playing, it may sound the same.)

[@petea1uk]

Oh yeah...you nailed it. Thanks so much for this one. Top draw song😁

[@mangatraimodi]

The epic riff starts at 12:34

[@morehumorehu4861]

Awesome!! 😎

[@mickharvey5448]

fantastic lesson THANK YOU

[@davidlittlewood8752]

oh ya love all your lessons.

[@igorlukas23]

Great lesson!!!

[@robertherzog9294]

Steve, I took your track and recorded my vocals over it using a Blue Yeti Pro Mic and Magix Samplitude Music Studio 2015 DAW. I'll have to post a link to it somehow when I'm finished with it.

[@carlosteran8114]

Just a Great Job, showing the mix/"subordination"(among them), of guitars ya need to get the armonic right sound ...and get the Soul of that Fantastic Tune!!! All the Best mate ;)

[@FilmBizDude]

Thank you. Now as someone who is just beginning to play electric guitar (use to only play acoustic) I am wondering if it would be possible to briefly describe at the beginning of the lesson, the amp settings and effect pedals in use, starting with this one :) Cheers!

[@tigerrat8]

thats cool bro! thanks

[@ThiaGou123]

AMAZING

[@slappy200]

Excellent (as usual). The layering kind of reminds me of Temple of the Dog's Hunger Strike

[@gabrielkrepos878]

Fripp is the MAN!

[@Stardust.Wonder]

Thank you!

[@Guitarzoom]

Thanks Steve great vid'

[@wideyxyz2271]

very cool..
many thanks

[@cliffsheldon7963]

Hey Steve! What about the ebow part? I've seen video where Mick Ronson plays that part, or was that played on a keyboard on the album?

[@robinbailey3052]

+Cliff Sheldon Robert Fripp playing through a Burns Buzzaround fuzz.

[@TorkG8]

+Cliff Sheldon
Have you seen Fripp on this. Great! ua-cam.com/video/JcuXYlzxmF4/v-deo.html

[@TorkG8]

+Cliff Sheldon
Although on the link I left above, I wish the camera had been on Robert Fripp the entire time. It was Fripp who played on the Bowie track, Brian Eno called him in. It was no keyboard, it was Fripp!

[@heracleummantegazzianum429]

+Steve Stine i think that part was played by Robert Fripp on the record. Since eno was involved pehaps he used frippertronics or a ebow/sustainer.

[@GaryBook]

Here is the video with Mick Ronson using an e-bow. ua-cam.com/video/CFm-bk4gJkk/v-deo.html

[@dhultgren1]

Almost 100k subscribers! Rawk Ahn!! :)

[@mikerouse6600]

A lot of lessons I've found show how to play like the recording with several diferent guitars but I want to learn it for one guitar.

[@GaryBook]

mike rouse There are many lessons showing one guitar. Bowie recorded the song with four guitars, so I appreciate this video with the multiple parts.

[@marcosperoer]

gran video, esta genial!

[@terkapak]

I believe A and E are minor chords. Worth mentioning in case you play the whole chord, not just the power chord.

[@gatoryak7332]

I believe the power chords sound better, especially where you call for an Em. On just one acoustic guitar, I think a Gmaj sounds better than Em, but E power chord also sounds better than Em.

[@raindancer89]

Yes

[@belo1971]

Great work you made for us........did you play the bass part when you play "your" 3 guitars together ? Thanks...it is awesome !!!

[@rickb4806]

Thx very good.

[@ThePedroski007]

Did I miss the Robert Fripp sustained A note and slides on the B string? Best part.

[@Guitarzoom]

Thanks for watching, Peter! :-)

SUPER !

[@catfan5439]

fantastic!!!!!!!!

[@davidlittlewood8752]

steve can you give me the tabs for that walk about, I just cant get it to stick in my head , lol

[@mikerouse6600]

I would like to know how to play the song with one guitar like earl slick did live.

[@datrealboi3881]

I have a question for the part @ 12:40. Do you have any effects that causes the sound to keep on playing?
I tried to play this today but as soon as i hit the fret again after the strum the sound just stops, as if its being cut off. While in the video its kinda like a smooth transition from one strum into the other. (I hope i explained it good enough, english is not my first language, sorry for that)
Sorry if this is a dumb question, im still relatively new to the guitar.

[@Guitarzoom]

Hi. Thanks for the comment. No worries. Well what makes the sound extend is some reverb. Most amps have a reverb effect. Try it and see if that works better for you. Hope this helps.

[@datrealboi3881]

@@Guitarzoom Hey! Thank you for your answer, sadly my amp doesn't have that effect (I guess thats what i got for trying to save some money😅). But it does help for sure, thank you! :)

[@Yu2beFool]

This ESP LTD sounds great, man! What type of EC is it? (I guess the 256FM Sunburst, right?)
(Well, I know the guitar will never sound by it's own, of course (lol)!)

[@Oliver-pz8us]

he was doing so well teaching until the very end ! but these Americans are starting to improve !

[@mikepresseopfer3059]

I cannot understand why making a VIDEO, something to SEE ... and then i ask myself ... ohh ... powerchord ... nice ... which fingers i should use ... why there's no tab ? I see fingers that look like they are pressing some string, but they don't. What is the advantage of the vide compared to a tab?

[@blueskycrying]

or you can just play it in drop D like it really is done and is a lot easier to me

[@catfan5439]

OBVIOUSLy,3 DISLIKES FROM 3 PEOPLE WHO WOULDNT KNOW A GUITAR FROM A .....TOILET PLUNGER..LOL
