one of my fav songs to play ever... cheers man that's awesome... 70s rock had such great grooves... great guitar work but you could move to it too... awesome stuff my good man...
This sounds really cool .Great sound and amp sets.With the 2 guitars it sounds great.I wish I could found someone with the skills like you to play along.You should do more duets if possible.
A lot of T. rex stuff has multiple guitars on the record. Bolan was the only guitarist in the band when playing live. Hence the live versions don’t have the same depth and layering. Still fantastic all of it.
I see talent runs in the family, Fantastic job guys!! Sure do need 2 guitars to play this and make it sound correct with one doing the chugging part and other doing the upstroke part, I play this but tough to do this on one guitar.
Hey James James....you've got friends ! I was worried about you. I was thinking, someone locked you in a room and forced you to make these videos. If you need help...give us a message. A fan.
All hail the headless guitar players! Love the channel man, started my UA-cam channel 6-7yrs ago but had followed a fella called Fretkillr, never showed his face, the mystery of it blew me away! Plus he could play! Always loved your channel man, absolute fucking pleasure.
@@jamesjames9275 Sorry James, was half cut when I posted. When the first cleaner chord at 14 seconds starts, do you start with an upstroke? For some reason my youtube is out of sync with audio and video.
On the special edition Electric Warrior album there are outtakes and you clearly hear that when he sings the words Bang A Gong he plays A minor not A (surprisingly). ua-cam.com/video/xo6wCYYDp54/v-deo.html
Yes, definitely an A minor on those versions. But the string arrangement is A major (drowning out the minor), and I have to go with Tony's decision over Marc's on this one. The major sounds much better to me. :)
+Shtan I doubt there is anyone of Noel's age in the UK who didn't hear Get it On a thousand times growing up. T. Rex was massive there. Besides, those two songs are just about identical - that can't be coincidence.
+James James He actually got sued by the estate of Marc Bolan and had to pay a shit tonne of money and adjust the writing credits to include Bolan but Noel can afford it. He just laughed it off.
Didn't know that...Maybe that came around the time they were investigating Bolan's missing millions...the late business of Roland's inheritance... Pretty sure Marc would not had sued over this...probably would've loved it...He often told us where his songs originated, even copied from...'Get it On' I recall him saying, came from him playing Johnny B Goode...Badly as he put it.😊
Love this short lived T. Rex band and Marc Bolan was a great guitarist, too!! RIP Marc.
One of your best interpretations...bravo
I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more T. Rex!
What a classic! I actually just learned to play it by watching this video. Thanks for sharing.

Sick, sick guitars!
Very nice! Great tutorial and love the rhythm guitar in the background while teaching the lead! Good addition!
And.......you just taught me another one in ten minutes. Man, you have been such a value.

what a classic. fantastic, simple rock guitar is as good as it gets
Excellent James, thank you for this, it’s spot on..
Awesome! You guys nailed it!
I like this tune. Thanks
AWESOME! I have been wanting to play this for a while. Most excellent!
Kool Man,Marc would appreciate.👌👌🎶
Really excellent version... well done :))
Good job guys, super nice save near the end when you started the solo licks one bar earlier! Also super nice triplets a-la Townshend: tasty!
I also like the Power Station cover.
Jan 2021 still a Kick Ass song !
is it my imagination? Or have I finally found something worth living for?.........It's crazy situation but all I need are cigarettes and alcohol...
oasis too jkjkjkjjk
And a fix? No kiss!
Si tal cual jajajaj
Well this is just awesome!! Bro Jam!

He wisely added a second guitar player for the 1977 shows.
More Guitars is definitely better, any day or night! Thanks for this!
+deedubslite More guitars is definitely better than more cowbell. lol :-)
really like the dual axe method.
THANK YOU FROM CANAY ISLAND YOU ARE VERY GOOD.
Now I’m searching your channel for more T. Rex. Thanks again!
Sorry the other channel had to be shut down, but so glad I found this one. Love your stuff!
what channel ? not pt ? .... maybe you are referring to fretkillr
Man you're good.
I see talent runs in the family, Fantastic job guys!! Sure do need 2 guitars to play this and make it sound correct with one doing the chugging part and other doing the upstroke part, I play this but tough to do this on one guitar.
Whaaaa?? I’ve never seen a duet James what is this wizardry 😅
When my brother comes to town for a visit, the guitars come out of their cases.

What if it's himself duplicated?
If I were able to do that my house would be a stage... pouting my lips, shaking my curly hair and then ....

what ever happened to old fretkillr did he pass away or something ?does anyone know?
Not a 100% sure but I think UA-cam closed him down, some of his covers drew more attention than the originals did, his channel was massive at a time.
he's here ua-cam.com/users/fretkillrlives
@@sharkytwo This isn't Fretkillr. It's someone who archived his videos and re-uploaded them (without monetization).
This is great!!!
Another god one!
You have the Emerson Building on your tee shirt!
Indeed. Most people think it’s Big Ben.
precise!!!!
Class Act!
Sweet!!!
YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
🐴🐴🐴👏
nice one...
NICE!!
perfect, you start on an upchord 3 high strings, first finger on g string part? nice work
Not sure what you mean.
@@jamesjames9275 Sorry James, was half cut when I posted. When the first cleaner chord at 14 seconds starts, do you start with an upstroke? For some reason my youtube is out of sync with audio and video.
Good cover BTW, the tone is spot on from both of you.
@@bpdarragh When you're hitting that open B/E string part, you go with an upstroke.
@@jamesjames9275 Thanks James, thought so. Nice one
For some reason, the Power Station version of this song lacks the nuance of the original. Great, great job!
Agreed. But then, I don't think the Power Station was really aiming for nuance. :)
Temazo
brilliant
Meanwhile, I'm still thinkin'... 🤔
Nice

I totally agree. The minor sounds just so wrong but true to mister bolan I chuck a minor in when I play it.
Is that Joe Carson playing in the back? :)
+Oliver Oliver That's a different brother.
+Oliver Oliver No, Chuck "Duck" Berry, back-dated;)
Wow really musical family
👍✌️🇮🇲🏍️🎸🎸🎸
What year is that Les Paul?
+Isaac Odom The goldtop is an 08.
+James James Thanks for the info, man. Keep up the great playing.
you can see where noel gallagher got his inspiration for cigarettes and alcohol
I think that goes a little beyond "inspiration." :)
cigarretes and alcohol!!!
I think that Noel ripped off this riff accidentally. He might not have heard Get It On, but who knows

TimB4305 really? It's just the 12 bar blues, how can you sue someone over that?
but the solo from Power Station is much better.
Not Robert's best work.
who's the other guy?
That's my brother.
There seems to be an awful lot of adverts, considering the channel's been shut down
UA-cam? ?? ? Care to comment?
I have nothing to do with that, UA-cam puts ads wherever they want to. I doubt they care whether I’ve posted recently or not.
Is it my imaginationnnnnnnnnnn
