Hi. This video was done years ago. I don't have the guitar anymore. And I honestly don't even remember the amp I had at the time. But if I had to guess it was a tube combo amp with 1x12. I probably was pushing some kind of OD pedal into the preamp of the amp. So if you have a tube amp and some kind of low/mid gain OD pedal like an OCD you will get there. Oh yeah and humbucker pickup on the bridge position.
@geekneek Yes it is. Great guitar. One of the most versatile and easy to play that I've ever picked up. It's currently my #1 and probably will be for a while.
I like your pick up configuration. With the two humbuckers and the two single coils between. I wish my guitar had pick ups like that. Iatleast i can throw my hunbuckers out of phase
@1mike161 I honestly don't know a lot about Tommy's rig choices back in the day or more recently. I'm sure there's a bunch of info out on the net if you search for it though. Thanks for watching.
Hey Mike, There is a video from 1996 where he is playing an Explorer. Which im partial too. This is the video I use to play with (Thanks to you and your excellent teaching) ua-cam.com/video/kopMEpSG_Zg/v-deo.html
@Michaelp78664 Hey I had every intention to put it up but honestly there is one run at the end of the solo that I just can't figure out and I don't want to put up a half-baked attempt at the solo. That is why I never put it up.
Thank you for posting this. The lesson was well presented and easy to follow. I was looking for a lesson on this song about 6 months ago and couldn't find it. Any chance you could do a followup with the bridge part before the solo? And there are a few runs towards the end too I think. Thanks again
hey i got it down but would you mind sharing your amp setting? I cant get a good amp sound its all too distorted with my amp...it seems like you have it perfect!
Still amazing after all these years. Nicely done, sir.
A ton of distortion, reverb, and slap back delay. Recipe for the perfect rock tone.
Thank you for taking the time to do this! Your awesome man!
Kelly appreciate the comment and thanks for stopping by to check it out. ~Mike

Can you please redo this in 4K now? It’s hard to learn when I can barely see the frets.
Great tutorial. Thanks for downloading it. Tommy Shaw does this one on an episode of Live from Daryl's House that will blow your mind.
Thanks for checking it out. I've seen that episode of LFDH. Great stuff.
@geekneek Yes it is. Great guitar. One of the most versatile and easy to play that I've ever picked up. It's currently my #1 and probably will be for a while.
How about Crystal Ball, and Man in the Wilderness on Acoustic Guitar Chords ,Thanks Love your videos...
Your lesson opened many doors for me on this song thank you
That's really cool man - thank you for checking it out!
Great lesson video, thanks for posting this video!
Great guitar sound

It's such a rockin verse riff. Tom Shaw was a bad ass.
When I saw Tommy play this in 78 he played an Ampeg/Hiwatt stack.
I miss Vanderbilly.
Its a good song,Its so fun,I love to break it out on set lists
styx rules man!!

thanks Man, this is good work. Can you share the finger positions for the Eb chord?

@alangil40 I'm sorry, but somehow I missed that you covered the bridge part I asked for.
@hoogua The solo lesson is up

@hoogua The solo lesson is up on my channel.

Nice guitar
Thanks. I don't have it any more sadly.
hey i got it down but would you mind sharing your amp setting? I cant get a good amp sound its all too distorted with my amp...it seems like you have it perfect!
@geekneek Yes it is.
The second chord should be G minor and is played only on the 5th fret of the D string and the 3rd fret of the GBE strings.
solo please! i lovee this song!
hey what is the chord when you finish the first lead of the song...you never show it.????
@halobros8710 See response above.
Thanks a lot jos! who needs Hal Leonard anyway :-)
guitar is okay. Gibson for life.
How do you get tone that bad. Tommy Shaw must be cringing.................
Sorry this is all wrong...the minors make the song
