Not enough praise or recognition for Badfinger, a truly great band. They were awesome live too. They were the real deal.
Truly were the real deal. I saw them at the Whiskey mid-70s and they absolutely rocked the place apart!
^..^~~
Irk man. I grew up in 60s and 70s. Me and my friends were ALL about this band. Next to the. Beatles and Todd Rundgren they were our favorite.
Awesome lesson. We have a Leslie and intend on doing this song next week at rehearsal. Thx for the lesson!
Oh absolutely! Loved them. Learning this on my bass at this time. Thinking of playing it at an open mic with a friend, but that might depend on the age of the crowd. Oh hell, open mics are for us to do what we want. I'll play. But they were really great, and I have so many memories from this song.
@@ChefClary60 Too bad Todd turned out to be such a tool.
Badfinger's "Pete Ham" Was a genius, he put these songs together in his sleep, it's unfortunate that his band and music engineering still to this day isn't given the respect that it deserves.
Thanks for sharing, and keeping Badfinger's music alive for the ones who respect it.
Kind regards, Eric Dee.
They were royally screwed by the record company and their manager. What a sin.
@@Arcturian1111 Wow. Wouldn't that record company be Apple and their manager Paul Mccartney???!!!
@@davidcoon3602 Paul McCartney wrote the song 'Come and get it' for Badfinger, but he wasn't their manager and Badfinger actually had a very good deal with Apple records. It was when they later signed for Warner Brothers and took on an American manager called Stan Polley who was a fraudster and they got well and truly screwed. Pete Ham named and blamed Polley in the suicide note he wrote.

You know what's so great about your videos? You're not only a fantastic guitar player and teacher but it's the very calm tone of your voice people don't realize how much of a difference that makes
Many years ago one of my bands did this tune and I was fortunate enough to have an actual Leslie to play it through, what a feeling.
Bought my first axe six months ago at age 66 and learning has been a long and winding road for me, but I’m finally starting to get somewhere. Still a long way to go, but I can at least see a small glimmer of light. Anyway, this to me seems like a great tune to learn not only because it is incredibly beautiful, but also because it’s a great song for building skills. This particular tutorial has been tremendous for me. Thanks so much!
Same here old and started not long ago...just have fun buddy.
Rock on 🤘
Whatever you do, don't stop. This starts to get easier and easier till it starts to feel like therapy!! Cheers to your new adventure!!!
How is your musical guitar journey going?
Badfinger was great ...such great singers and songwriter's... RIP Pete Hamm.....thx man
An excellent tutorial for one of the best songs ever written
Pete Ham was a great musician, any aspiring RnR star should read about his story, its tragic but a lesson from history.
At least their heirs became wealthy ex post facto
I saw Badfinger live in Toronto in about 1973 at a small venue..... Roxy Theatre. AWESOME!!!! Still love their stuff.
The Leslie part is so noteworthy and catchy! Thanks for explaining and playing it!
The 70s have been proven to be the most fertile regarding the blues rock genre. Thanks for keeping these standards alive.
Such great songs. I remember them from when I was a kid and have loved them since. Now I appreciate them more knowing how much went in to creating them.
Great job!!! Great song! Very Paul. I played with the Ex-Members of Badfinger back in ‘81! And yes, we’re all a “sucker for (clever classic) power stuff!” 🎯
I can’t express what a great tutorial this is.
I appreciate the time you take to explain the progressions and add how the song is actually formulated. Learning a song from you, Andy, is almost like being in music theory class. Thank you for your time and patience to get these songs right, and to understand why they are right. Have a great day!
Have to say your song lessons are probably some of the best I’ve seen. There’s not only a lesson on how to play but that dissection of the mechanics and why certain chords and lines work together… Great stuff!
Thanks I needed this lesson I saw them live in 1972
This song still gives me the chills, the distorted descending chords with the Leslie guitar is amazing, your guitar lesson is the best out there, Badfinger would of been as big as the Beatles were in the 60’s, they would of captured the 70’s, unfortunately that piece of shit Polley killed them,l hope he is burning in hell. RIP Badfinger.....
I hear you on that louis, im a 66 yr young lover of great classic rock and i remember when badfinger had that run of hits and like you i get the chills when i hear them and a lot of sadness when i think what happened to them and recenty been going on line getting all these great albums on vinyl again and as long as i have the physical copys of those albums gives me joy, im bidding on a copy of "Straight up"but mint copys are up in price! Well stay rocking my friend and we'll keep the memory of badfinger alive along with joey molland!
I’m there bro, totally get what your saying, respect ✊
An Apple Band.....Badfinger! Forever Loved!
Everytime I listened to a Badfinger song I feel sad, so sad it was an under rated band and some members died tragically. Anyway great simple chords you shown us, thank you
same with John
not so much with Beatles music and his early solo albums
but Double Fantasy... it was tied too close together, within weeks... and he was gone
Great Badfinger lesson. The one guy is still alive and touring, hanging out with Rick Derringer and even playing my hometown of Simcoe, ON, county fair a number of years ago. If somebody told me that Badfinger would be at the county fair while I was in high school I would never have believed it. They were a great band that I grew up listening to along with the Beatles. I get the impression that you too are Canadian and of the older generation. Your choice of Badfinger and Canadian artists suggests that to me. I must commend you for doing all these free video lessons. I am more cynical as a musician and see many rock musicians doing a lot of work upfront and then nothing pans out. IMHO musicians are mostly powerless and taken advantage of, but it all starts with them. Just look at what happened to the band Badfinger. Anyway, I'm glad you are doing this and it must be rewarding itself. Keep up the good work brother!

Going to California plss
Great lesson as usual! Would love to see a lesson on Have a cigar by the Pink Floyd !
Cherry Bomb ( Runaways) please
Very nicely done.
Did Peter Ham do the slide? or did George Harrison?

Wow. This is the best lesson of this song on YT that I have ever seen. Thanks for posting this one.
Such a great tune from one of the greatest pop bands, with possibly the most tragic history, in all of contemporary pop music. "Day After Day" is easily in the top 10 pop rock songs ever, one that everyone I know sings along with when it comes over the air and internet waves. Great lesson! Going to learn this one to busk with as a tribute to Badfinger. Mahalos!
This songs reminds me a party girl I heard about before I met her.
I knew that she was a multitask lover free as the wind.
We were introduced at a ball party. She was veeery pretty, had a superb figure AND presence, was well educated and had a warm hearth. This made me realize that I had no chances.
At this moment a band started playing No Matter What. Then she said: I love this song and I said: me too (what a poor opening line).
But we discoverd we had many things in common and started to spend time together from that nigth on.
She made me smile, to take the life easy and felt confident. For my surprise, we became a sort of lovers for a couple of weeks.
Then I knew she was also an uninhibited lady soooooo pleasing.
Thank God she was very honest too about the no compromise, don't hook on me. I was 20 years old at that time, young but of reason, no matter what... there will always be with me my dear fleeting faithful, lovely friend for a couple of weeks.
Oh man ! What an unbelievable tune. Thanks so much for breaking that down and even still, appreciating it so !
Absolutely AWESOME sir !! I’m an intermediate beginner ish... ie playing for a long time but still shit 🤪 and as I remember this song when it first came out when I was a kid I’ve always been fascinated by the construction of the song that allowed the change from verse to that spine tingling chorus, it’s so McCartney esque in its feel and progression. I’ve always loved this song and now I’ve accidentally found your channel and followed your easy to play instructions I’m on my way to playing this epic song that means so much to me
I don’t have an emoji for tipping my hat to you , but you can guarantee I’m doing it right now, thank you so much 👍 🇬🇧
Love your Badfinger stuff! Thanks.
For as long as I've been playing guitar this has always been my favorite song to play.
In all rock history, there never was anything written or performed that was any better than these parts. These poor boys leaving us as they did was then, and still remains today, so incredibly sad!
I honestly don’t think anyone gives better lessons on here.
Great job as always! 🎸👍🏻
Thank you so much for that tutorial. It helped me enormously to get my head around all the parts of this track .
Top man
Great lesson guys, he breakups the two guitars exactly!!
Ah man, this is great stuff. I haven't heard this in years! Now, you make me wanna go try and learn to play it! Thank you.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks so much. You are a great teacher, and your guitar sounds so beautiful.
I love your video on this song. Could you do more Badfinger songs? Two more rare / obscure songs are Suitcase and Better Days.
Both were played live as full on jam sessions. Pete ham used a wah when live too.
Shine On is also a great tune.
There are virtually no covers of any of these songs anywhere.
Yeah i agree , that leslie arpeggio is the hook for me too, i always remember that when i was a kid and that was on the radio, when that bit came in it gave me goosebumps
I have been playing this so wrong for many years! You have got it so wright great job!
Great instruction , and al your tutorials are sooooo accurate . Classic song which has been lost in the sands of time.
Awesome Lesson! This his been on my "songs to learn" list for a while, now I can cross it off my list....Keep Rockin!
Andy I really look forward to your lessons each week! So great!
I feel compelled to comment on your awesome right hand technique , so ideal . . I wish I could keep my pick so aligned . You slant ideally when doing fast lead lines but switch to laser like flatness with a meaty hunk of plectrum on chord stabs and arpeggios . Sounds so full and articulate . Thanks for the lesson and song history
I bought an electric guitar when I saw this lesson, great tone !
I love that power pop style of playing too. Cheap Trick comes to mind along with Squeeze. I had no idea that guitar sound came from a leslie rotating speaker. Im a bass player and this helps alot in articulating ideas to guitar players.
Awesome lesson. Such a great band that last was short lived due all their misfortune. Thanks for doing this lesson.
I have to add, much respect to you as well. Great player and a great human.Thank you my friend for your kindness to all.
Hey, what a great lesson of a great rock classic! That was awesome, you play so well! Thank you.
thank you for doing such a great song by a great band!! Badfinger was truly one of the greatest
Pro instruction. Clear and concise. Not overly talked and always spot on. Thanks for sharing your unique talent. Love your Les Paul too. Those Zebras are a perfect match with the dark fretboard and wine red coloring . 🍻
Fantastic demo/ lesson! Thank you so very much for sharing this with us all. 👌🏻🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🕊🌅
Great Lesson, Great Band, Great Song......
Terrific lesson. Just the right pace for instruction, not getting bogged down on any one part. Thanks so much!
That moving around the circle in fourths has been used a couple of times and always works! Cool!
Great song, one hook after the other, great stuff, hope you can finish the whole suite with " Come And Get it"and "Day After Day", cheers
Excellent teaching skills i have been taught many times by your lessons/ videos
Thank you sir 👍🇬🇧
Extremely fine lesson. Crystal clear, both your playing and your explanation. Thanks!
Will echo what others say below. Great band. Great song great lesson. Also, for those who have never heard it, the knack did a very cool cover of this song for a badfinger tribute album. Fun listen.
That's so cool! Undeniably great song fully explained. Now it makes even more sense.
Simple but GORGEOUS chorus.
Just a great rock song TX for covering it so well! Outstanding
BADFINGER !! WHAT A SUPERB BAND, WITH A VERY, VERY TRAGIC ENDING, R.I.P. PETE, TOM, MIKE/MICKY AND KEEP YOUR MUSIC ALIVE JOEY.
Badfinger has such a rich musical legacy that's unfortunately shadowed by their tragic story.
What an under appreciated band! Great lesson - thanks!
Great Lesson! Thanks. Voice leading with the guitar. If you listen to the background "OOH" vocals, they're doing the same thing. Real Creative.
Spot on about The Beatles chords which makes it such a brilliant song, the 7th's and minor chords. Also a huge Beatles fan here.
Have you done a lesson on Elvin Bishop’s “Fooled Around and Fell in Love”? You’re the only person I trust to show me exactly how to play each song, and I can’t figure this one out.
Badfinger...A tragic story
Always loved thier tunes and only recently found out about what happened. So prolific.
what happened?
When Apple Records (the Beatles' record label, where they were signed) folded, they signed with Warner Bros. Records, but their manager, Stan Polley, was a complete a-hole, and by '74, '75, they were, like, broke, and because of that, Pete Ham (their lead vocalist/guitarist) hanged himself three days before his 28th birthday. His suicide note read: "Anne, I love you. Blair, I love you. I will not be allowed to love and trust everybody. This is better. Pete. P.S. Stan Polley is a soulless bastard. I will take him with me"
(Anne and Blair were Pete's wife and son, respectively)
They were good shame that pet bess killed em self great teacher by Harrison and the Beatles
@@andriealinsangao613 didn't Stan Poley steal their royalties& put them into a funny corporation?
Which made it impossible for Warner Brother to release Bafingers second record?
Brilliant as usual. Thank you
Bro this is the best lesson out there 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 they were such an awesome band with a tragic ending..R.I.P Badfinger....
Fantastic video! Dan, I've recently been listening (obsessively, much to the dismay of my wife) to XTC's "BBC Radio 1, Live in Concert" disc which, besides simply being an utterly astounding performance, is absolutely loaded with a myriad of brilliant guitar tones. It got me thinking that it would be fantastic to see you guys do a show where you focused on the effects used over the course of a single album. A lot to ask, I know, but I can't imagine anyone who could do it better. Thank you both, so much, for all of the work you do.
Such a killer song and lesson! Thank you!
What a great song and band,thanks for the tutorial,many people overlook Badfinger
Mega tutorial man! Thanks a lot
Pete Ham, great writer and player, also had George Harrisons Gibson SG that was used on "Paperback Writer" & "Rain".
always thought George kind of already had that "Leslie sound" on Rain; imo a better track than Paperback Writer.
Look close at McCartney , Dino Danelli, Harrison & Albert Hammond ..( who turned into willy nelson) pete ham & ted mullary of Australia.
Andy, your tutorials are simply the best. I loved your playing on the crazy train tutorial and a tutorial on Mr. Crowley would make a lot of people (including me) very happy. Just saying XD
One the best teachers on you tube ...excellent work
Im like you, Im a Sucker for that Power Pop stuff, I also love the Disco 16 note stuff too!
Wow, there is so much more going on in this song than I realized, thank you
you nailed it. thanks for posting
Thanks ! Very useful for trying to improve my rhythm guitar playing.
Takes me back to my school days, great lesson
LOVE your voice.
Love it! Nicely done!
My biggest wish is, that I could be half the guitar slinger you are my friend!! Thanks for posting these lessons and giving me hope. Johnny Rocco, a wanttobe guitar slinger.
Thank you so very much !! from Canada
Thanks Mr Shut up. Continues your excellent choice (taste) of songs to teach. Keep up the great work.
A blast from the past. They did the original version of Without You made popular by Nilsen and Mairiah Carey
I love this song and I think only we know It (I'm kidding). Here in my country, I'm sure, nobody knows it.
Thank you for rescue it.
Another great job.
Carlos, where is your country?
Bad Finger were very popular here in Australia too
Thanks for this great lesson! I agree a lot the chords are sooo Beatles…..beautiful song!
Excellent work!!!
Brilliant, thank you!
Thank you for the clear concise fantastic lesson!
Thanks great video.. you're a good teacher
Wonderful lesson! Thank you!
Great lesson.
Thank you.
Gr8 job, love this song
Thank you. Your videos rock!
Another fantastic tutorial on a great song
Great song. Great band. Great lesson. Unbelievably sad and tragic story IS Badfinger.
Great lesson. It was 1970 / 1971 and I was in 7th grade. This was on the jukebox in the school cafeteria and I played it about every day. Today, I'm 61 years old and still have the 45 that I bought almost 50 years ago in my own jukebox. Also play it and other Badfinger songs on guitar (Baby Blue, Perfection, Day After Day, etc.). One of the best bands with a promising career cut short due to Pete Ham's (and later, Tom Evans) suicides. Behind the Music story on them made me cry. Thanks for helping to keep their music alive.
I listened to them too back then. Then around the year 2000 I was introduced to Badfinger guitarist Joey Molland by a friend. I went over to his house a few times and hung out and listened many stories from back in the day when they played back in Liverpool England. Stories I cherish to this day. A great guy, great songs and great band. But a sad story. I'm sure Joey would be happy to know you like those songs still. I know I do.
@@Tuscarora What a cool story! That would be fantastic to spend time with Joey. I think he got a bad rap from a lot of people and "fans" because he continued to use the name when he was playing songs. I like that his response was, "I'm just keeping the songs alive and tell the audience 'this is a Pete Ham song and this is a Tom Evans song."
Excellent lesson, thank you very much.
