I agree he's a great teacher and he's uncompensated. What a gift. With that said, check out "shut up and play". He's the absolute best and he offers many good songs for free including this one. Untouchable. Love Justin though. Anybody who does this stuff for free is a gift to mankind. It doesn't take 10 minutes to do this. These guys put in many hours. God bless them all.
just learned la grange from your video. I am 65 yrs old. Just started playing 2 yrs. ago. I am amazed that you make them so easy to learn. Thank you with all my being!!! These are my tunes and thanks to you I can now play them.
Justin..you are the best teacher on the internet. I love this song and dissected it 40 years . There is no D note on the A string in the intro. The A string stays open.
Thanks buddy, been invited to a summer garden jam with a 70 year old lifetime guitarist, he's given us a small set list, of which this ole classic is one, thanks again, just gna take ur advice and go and transcribe the solo.
10 minutes to learn a classic - only Justin could do this - any chance I can buy you a beer or 7 sometime? The anthem of the 70s.RIP Koss, one of the greatest solos of all time - sublime beauty.
You just made me a happy man. Once I got this I'll get the solo down by ear. The best motivation for learning a song is to be in love with it in a strange way.
I played rhythm guitar in a rock/blues band for 2 years and I don't think I ever played one song 'correctly'. We played All right now and it went down a storm but we didn't play it quite like Free. As long as you enjoy playing and the crowd are happy then everything is cool... :-)
Learn them as written then embellish a phrase, if you learn as it was meant to be it pays tribute to the creator. Not to be mean but anyone can play their version of a song 😉
AWESOME!! I just printed off the lyrics and chords to start learning this tune. I love being a little older and having a crowd to play to that loves this type of music! Thank you SIR!
Justin, your lessons here are always superb - THANKY YOU! - not too much talking, straight to the point and, how you said: Figure it out by yourself - that's what we vinyl kids did back in the days. Once learned how to handle it you'll never forget - that's the base! All the great guys nowadays (old bands) they had no internet...they did it how explained here - GREAT!
Justin is one of the best,getting right to the lesson, showing us how to do it several ways. Always enjoy your upbeat personality. great choices of tunes!! keep it up Justin!!!
Justin; all your teaching is great,1 thing that about learnig solos off record was very good advice, I have tried to get people away from tabs & learn as much as you can off record as you suggested I am with you on that , most have given up learning music !!!!
I play it this way, and have for a few years since a friend in a band showed me. Pretty happy with this way, sounds the closest to my ear anyway. I like that you don’t just demonstrate how you THINK it goes, but do some research and listening first. Great work. 👍
I am learning this song with my guitar teacher now, I think yours is better and closer to the record, especially the strumming part. And you have cute accent :) thank you for the lesson!
Wow thanks for "La Grange" and "Alright Now", they're 2 riffs I've been doin since B4 you were born, (in your own words, you said "La Grange came out in 1973, B4 you were born") well I was 13 in 73, and just starting on guitar, I always wanted to do "It's alright" but no bar bands were doing that cover tune, not until the 80's anyway. and then it was in a magazine called "Guitar For The Practicing Musician" which today I think is entitled just "guitar" Magazine. I must say thank you for finally being one of the online guitar teachers, that understands, what you don't play is just as important, as what you do play, the silence between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves. Tony Iommi has shown the world that "less is more" for years. I come from a wide variety of influences. When I was 13-17 yrs old, I was heavily into Sabbath, Dylan, and Al DiMiOla, Segovia, and Montoya. I wanted to write like Dylan, and play like the other 2. I've since given up on tryin to be another DiMeOla, but I've more or less got the other 2. People love my song lyrics, and I've come to appreciate the air between the notes/chords is as important as the notes/chords themselves. It builds tension, expectation, and gives the riffs feeling, which a lot of so called "artists" have since forgotten about these days, but then again seeing how so many white boys are into this Rapp Crap, it seems they'll always go for the lowest common denominator anyway, at least until they grow up. Funny how many of my nephews, and friends kids, are inot rapp during the years of about 9 - 20 then they start to realize what real musicianship is, and then get into higher forms of music such as metal, Bebop, Folk, Bluegrass, country etc...
There are things (chord shapes) in this song that are not conventional... You've nailed it sir... the influence of Paul Kossoff is well demonstrated here! 👏👏
Easily one of the best rock tracks ever. Absolutely awesome! Its funny how even in 2016 kids are still coming through the door and asking how to play this. :)
Couldn't have asked for a better song choice, can't go wrong with any free song! Paul Rodgers comes from my hometown :) Cheers for the great lesson Justin.
Thanks Justin and fully agree that we need to be spending more time working stuff out on our own. It's just great to get over hurdles by watching postings such as yours. Keep it up, I really enjoy your lessons.
Man, I love that little rant at the end there...as it hits you that you KNOW what you're saying is right at the same time as it crashes into everything you've achieved so far :-) Great moment Justin - thanks for sharing it.
Justin. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time for us. Out of all the lessons I've bought/ found yours are by far the best and easiest to follow. No offense to anyone else, just my opinion. Thanks brother and keep em coming. It would be great for you to break down Joe Bonamassa, sloe gin, the way he plays it at the battle of the blues thing. Thanks bro. rock on
BIG Mahalo to PHi LOS !!! We all know Justin needs monetary support to keep his site running but that verse you wrote for him, that's money for the heart (priceless). That'll keep him going!
Thank you for a free lesson back in the day you had to pay for guitar lessons and if you could find a teacher to teah songs it became very expensive thanks to the computer age save many dollars thanks for your time
Justin, that was excellent. Really enjoyed your delivery, and thank you, thank you, thank you for saying at the end about working parts out for yourselves. Songs especially early rock blues songs are personal with feeling. Playing robotically with one day kill the passion. Perfect my friend.
Justin's tutorials are soo helpful. They are as close as you can get and very well explained in detail. Personally I've played this song for quite a while with my band but just did it in easy guitar style, i.e. simply using a change between A and D in the 5th fret. Now Corona gives me the opportunity to put some effort on enhancing my skills ;-) A minor hint regarding the chorus: I find it easier to play the F# note (played between the A and G power chord) on the 9th fret of the A string instead of 14th fret of the E string.
Thanks Justin. I could never figure out what the chord was before the D at "Smiling from her...", I knew there were 2 chords, but they both seemed to be "D". Also, I never heard the subtleties at the dusty end of the neck before. Really appreciate this lesson.
You are playing the main riff as he does live. But on the recorded studio version of the song, the third chord that adds the G in the D chord is played by lifting your first finger up so that the F# on the 4th string and the D on the 2nd string rings together with the open G string giving it that jangly sound. Then you put your first finger down to end the suspension. You are playing the chords like a Dsus4/A with the sus on the 4th string, the chord is actually a Dadd11/A. Other than that, I enjoy the tone and the singing.
As he says, there are two guitars on the studio recording playing in close harmony with each other thats why it never sounds right on one guitar. So to play in live you have to play one or the other or try mix and match both as close as you can.
Jason , you crack me up ! i mean that in a GOOD WAY . i GET A KICK OUT OF YOUR LESSONS AND YOU ARE #1...could you say what your amp is and what your settings are ? THANKS
That's a live one and there are loads of different versions! There are other vids I watched before doing the lessons which show him playing it the way presented here! :)
Yeah, I agree it would be better to work it out on my own however, truthfully, I'm not quite the guitarist I would hope to be, maybe if I had the gifts like a Justin Sandercoe, He is certainly the best teacher, in my opinion, on the UA-cam, and a Highly Polished Guitarist and I am so greatful to have found this channel. The bottom line if I can copy what the Masters do then I can at least sound like I know what I'm doing.
I'm in no place to correct you Justin but I just saw a Free "All right now " video and Paul plays verse and chorus on neck pickup and lead on bridge pickup. Great job Justin!
Great lesson! The band I'm in started going over this yesterday and we were having some trouble with the chords on that opening riff. I watched a live video of Free and what you are doing looks and sounds like what Paul Kossoff is doing. This was driving me crazy! Thanks for the video!
He's the best teacher on here. Keeps it simple, doesn't get ahead of you, well, he's just the best. Nice guy too.
I agree he's a great teacher and he's uncompensated. What a gift. With that said, check out "shut up and play". He's the absolute best and he offers many good songs for free including this one.

That is so well done...Good voice Justin.
it's nice to see that justin is finally comfortable with his voice..
Thanks buddy, been invited to a summer garden jam with a 70 year old lifetime guitarist, he's given us a small set list, of which this ole classic is one, thanks again, just gna take ur advice and go and transcribe the solo.
Dear Justin, A Great lesson. You even sang it well!! Love this song.
10 minutes to learn a classic - only Justin could do this - any chance I can buy you a beer or 7 sometime? The anthem of the 70s.RIP Koss, one of the greatest solos of all time - sublime beauty.

Exactly. If the audience are enjoying it, its right.
No no no.. I would leave if you butchered this iconic song
Learn them as written then embellish a phrase, if you learn as it was meant to be it pays tribute to the creator. Not to be mean but anyone can play their version of a song 😉
@@macknolan410 Ha ha what a dumb comment, pls tell me you're joking?
I'm 64 and I appreciate all your words and ev'ry piece of advice! Thks
Of all the "guitar instructors" on You Tube, yours are the most concise and professional!
Thanks
Best ver. on the net🎉❤🎉
One of the meanest riffs ever written. Finally just got to this in the book.Can't stop playing the beginning riff now. haha
I love your comments about transcribing on your own. It's how I learned to play and is invaluable to training your ears!!
Nice work here. For one guitar this is the way to go.
Wow happy to see you here
Best teacher on the planet ! And a nice Guy as well.
If it wasnt for you I would have forgotten one of the greatest hits of all time. Thanks for the very cool lesson. I AM SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE SEEN IT.
I've played this "close enough" for years. You have nailed it. Now I can play it right. Great job
you are my favorite teacher...you take your time and show all the correct fingering and strumming techniques..great job!!
Oh man nice job! The correct way and the only way you get those notes to ring out that way! I used this as a refresher. Thanks man
AWESOME!! I just printed off the lyrics and chords to start learning this tune. I love being a little older and having a crowd to play to that loves this type of music! Thank you SIR!
Justin, your lessons here are always superb - THANKY YOU! - not too much talking, straight to the point and, how you said: Figure it out by yourself - that's what we vinyl kids did back in the days.

Great guitar lesson for one of the best rock songs ever, and it still hold up well today.
This is pure gold.
Signed: Free fan
Thank you Justin
Wow!!! The guitar is simple, but singing and play at the same time is not easy... you have a very nice groove!!!
As a rock percussionist from California, one of my favorite drum numbers ! Nice riffs 👏
Justin; all your teaching is great,1 thing that about learnig solos off record was very good advice, I have tried to get people away from tabs & learn as much as you can off record as you suggested I am with you on that , most have given up learning music !!!!
Joe Riffsky follow the record by soloing over the song with the pentatonic scale. works for me.
been playing this for years, now playing it your way Justin (the right way) great singing too, cheers.
I play it this way, and have for a few years since a friend in a band showed me. Pretty happy with this way, sounds the closest to my ear anyway.
I like that you don’t just demonstrate how you THINK it goes, but do some research and listening first. Great work. 👍
The way he get's it close top you and repeating the Details....great
spot on Justin... I have always loved this song but never learned to play it...... thanks man
Best guitar instructor on UA-cam hands down
I am learning this song with my guitar teacher now, I think yours is better and closer to the record, especially the strumming part. And you have cute accent :) thank you for the lesson!

Just found out I need to learn this song for the coming weekend. You saved me (again).
U know the song. I'm happy u mentioned there r two guitars. Most don't know that. Good video.
bless you Justin, this is always the place to come to get the lowdown
There are things (chord shapes) in this song that are not conventional... You've nailed it sir... the influence of Paul Kossoff is well demonstrated here! 👏👏
Interesting remarks at the end.
Thanks J for mapping out the cool stuff in this great classic, and for your generous time and energy as always.
Nice Lesson Justin. Nice to see you Playing a Gibson Les Paul
Easily one of the best rock tracks ever. Absolutely awesome! Its funny how even in 2016 kids are still coming through the door and asking how to play this. :)
great lesson, and good advice about doing our own transciptions!
Couldn't have asked for a better song choice, can't go wrong with any free song! Paul Rodgers comes from my hometown :) Cheers for the great lesson Justin.
Awesome....I woke up with this song in my head and had to learn it!
Thanks Justin and fully agree that we need to be spending more time working stuff out on our own. It's just great to get over hurdles by watching postings such as yours. Keep it up, I really enjoy your lessons.
Acdc girls got rythme
Man, I love that little rant at the end there...as it hits you that you KNOW what you're saying is right at the same time as it crashes into everything you've achieved so far :-) Great moment Justin - thanks for sharing it.

Great lesson Justin to this fab intro . I'm a electric newbie so great song to get my teeth into to 🎸! Thank you 👍

So makes playing much fun. Thank you Justin.
Great lesson Justin, thank you mate.Kossoff would be pleased too.

Excellent lesson and advice .... thanks Justin...
hey Justin, your lessons are great, you get straight to the point and dont mess around like a lot of other lessons
simple rhythm yet so elegantly brilliant
Lovely song and guitar lesson. Thanks as always
Hey guy I really dig what you do and how you teach, thx for taking your time out to show us stuff and I've been playing this all wrong.
You nailed it man. That is awesome!!
BIG Mahalo to PHi LOS !!! We all know Justin needs monetary support to keep his site running but that verse you wrote for him, that's money for the heart (priceless). That'll keep him going!
Thanks for making this video so easy to follow.
Sounds bloody good to my ear, maybe as good as the original. Well done.
Finally someone knows it properly. Nice one man!
Hi Justin, you absolutely rocked the intro!
Thank you for a free lesson back in the day you had to pay for guitar lessons and if you could find a teacher to teah songs it became very expensive thanks to the computer age save many dollars thanks for your time
Thanks very much. Kossoff was quite inventive. I would have never figured this out on my own
Justin, that was excellent. Really enjoyed your delivery, and thank you, thank you, thank you for saying at the end about working parts out for yourselves. Songs especially early rock blues songs are personal with feeling. Playing robotically with one day kill the passion. Perfect my friend.
Justin you're a good dude and that is a badass guitar
Thanks Justin! Great playing and with attitude!!
nearest I have heard so brilliant lesson Many thanks Rob
Great lesson and authentic rock n roll voice too!
La escuché en los sopranos por primera vez. Amo esta canción!
Justin - great lesson and nice LP Goldtop

Correct Ruscoe Dave you see reason for that is that Paul Kossoff layed down to guitar tracks on the recording.

Don't suppose you've got a video showing this? I've always just played it with the same chord shape all the way through, ie the Asus/add9
You are a great instructor, nice lesson
BEST EVER - THANKS ONCE AGAIN Justin.
excellent teacher, has revitalised my interest in playing. Thank you.
"Spot on" mate!! You do a wonderful UPBEAT service to us all, Cheers! Gb
Jason , you crack me up ! i mean that in a GOOD WAY . i GET A KICK OUT OF YOUR LESSONS AND YOU ARE #1...could you say what your amp is and what your settings are ? THANKS
Loving the Rock Songbook, Justin. Any ideas when this Lead/Solo book is coming out?
You are a great teacher JUstin. thanks
very good!! play very well, thanks from Brazil
Thanks Justin! Now I'm ready to go on stage an ROCK!
That's a live one and there are loads of different versions! There are other vids I watched before doing the lessons which show him playing it the way presented here! :)
Thank you my friend.....amazing lesson ....Greerings from Chile .....✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌.... !!!!!!
Great Voice Justin. First time I heard you sing man. Another great video, Thanks!!!
Hey Justin, that was the kick that I needed, it's a great song. Thank you...
GREAT!
Finally a song from my youth - many thanks
Justin you are awesome!!!.l thought this song was played by Bad Company😇🙈.l listened to this song during the '80s
Awesome Justin. Love your gold top too. Now I added to must learn list.
Yeah, I agree it would be better to work it out on my own however, truthfully, I'm not quite the guitarist I would hope to be, maybe if I had the gifts like a Justin Sandercoe, He is certainly the best teacher, in my opinion, on the UA-cam, and a Highly Polished Guitarist and I am so greatful to have found this channel.

Excellent. Thanks Justin!
I'm in no place to correct you Justin but I just saw a Free "All right now " video and Paul plays verse and chorus on neck pickup and lead on bridge pickup.
Great job Justin!
Who csres what pickup was used originally? Sheesh...
Who cares....MOST musicians don't play their own material the same way all the time anyway.....
Its music, no need to overcomplicate it
I like your approach. And thanks for sharing a very cool song.
Great find on UA-cam - Justin, you made my day. Thank you.
Great lesson! The band I'm in started going over this yesterday and we were having some trouble with the chords on that opening riff. I watched a live video of Free and what you are doing looks and sounds like what Paul Kossoff is doing. This was driving me crazy! Thanks for the video!
