Just back from an Easter break and did my usual Wishbone Ash search on You Tube and found this great video. Thank you so much Marcus for an excellent tutorial for this almost forgotten band. I have been a fan of this band since their first album in 1970. I started learning the guitar a few years ago and could find loads of tutorials for all the other bands songs I liked but because of the lack of any tutorials on You Tube for Wishbone Ash I have struggled to learn the tracks that I wanted to from their albums (mainly the first 3). This will help me a lot. Your tutorial is the first one I have ever seen on You Tube for this band. It would be great if you could feature some of the other great tracks from this album (Argus). Also, I wondered why you did not include the famous intro of this song. I have tried using tab to learn it but have never managed it. Seeing someone demonstrate it would be most appreciated and helpful. I will subscribe to your channel in the hope of more Wishbone Ash. Cheers Arthur
Hello Arthur, thanks for your subscription and your kind words! Yes, I was also surprised that that band seems to be a bit forgotten on UA-cam. I didn't include the intro, because it seems to be a jam part. But I'm talking about the rhythm guitar part of that section during the tutorial. But if there are some more viewers interested, I will think about to add also the lead guitar of this part. And yes, I guess there will be more Wishbone Ash to come! :-)
@@MarcusHetzel Hi Marcus, in my excitement to watch it I completely missed that you do indeed cover Andy Powell’s chords for the intro (2.50mins). It was just because I’m so used to hearing the longer, original, high volume and brilliant rhythm pattern version that I missed it. The only thing missing is Ted Turner’s wah wah (voice box?) octave riff that comes in behind it. Thanks again for your tutorial. I look forward to more.
I fell in love with the Argus album about 10 years ago. I especially love the guitar solo on this song and dual solo at the end of “Throw Down the Sword”. Also, the intro to “Warrior”, which sounds great on my SG. My parents had never heard or listened to Wishbone Ash back in their day, they didn’t get much play here in the US back then apparently.
Hallo Marcus, ich habe mich sehr über das vollständige Tutorial gefreut, da ich es alleine nicht genau genug heraushören konnte. Das Original auf Argus wird meiner Meinung nach einen Halbton höher gespielt bzw. ist die Gitarre wohl höher gestimmt. Einen weiteren Song, den ich als Tutorial leider nicht finden kann ist "Whats Going On" von Rory Gallagher. Das wäre vielleicht auch ein guter Song für ein weiteres Tutorial von Dir?
Hallo Ulrich, danke für Dein Feedback! Meine Aufnahme von der Argus-CD ist tatsächlich in der Tonart, in der ich das Tutorial gemacht habe, also D-Moll. Aber vielleicht gibt es ja auch eine, die aus irgendwelchen Gründen ein Halbton höher ist. Die Rory Gallagher Nummer behalte ich im Hinterkopf. Danke für den Tipp! :-)
Great playing man! Good lesson too!
Thank you! :-)
cant believe I lucked on to this , such a great song Thank you
Yes, it definitely is!

I agreed with him to add intro solo part, thank you for your great work sir.

I discovered the album in the early 90s and also saw them live back then. I was really suprised that there isn't to much material of them on UA-cam.
Excellent Work!!
Thanks! :-)
Thank you kind sir! Now I can finally impress my old man now😂.
😊 That's great! Thank you!
