Classic, cheers Adrian......'You're my guitar hero!!'.
That line popped in my head as he was playing the solo, ahh I love the Clash
Haha cheers!
😂
I still remember the adrenaline rush when this was released, it came stampeding out of even the tiniest tinniest transistor radio.
I remember it well, what a great time it was!!!!!
I was in my dad's car, and DLT played it!
I'd love some lessons of anything off Give Em Enough Rope, my favourite Clash album... Safe European Home in particular! Keep up the excellent work 👍👍
I agree with you mate, give 'em enough rope took a bit of a beating from some quarters but I thought it was a great album, and this guy teaching is excellent, well done that man!
Great song, I don't even bother to learn the song I just enjoy the quality and presentation of the tutorials!
Cheers Paul
So do I sometimes 😂, we'd better practice than watching these tutorials with no guitar in our hands 😉
@@lordclancharlie1325
Haha, very true mate!
You're my guitar hero!!!!
The only band that matters courtesy of the only guitar teacher that matters!
OH I only gone and waited for the invention of the internet till I actually got a true insight into THAT guitar solo. Years spent with my now faded CLASH songbook my american import THE CLASH vinyl first album (remixed and extra songs) , then CD's came along.....then I bought a guitar trainer CD player to slow the songs down without changing key.....and finally 40 years later I'm sitting with a REAL les paul and getting the true insight into playing this. Never for a second did I think he bent the notes, but you're on the money there. And as for that one step bend ,up one fret up. at the G...GENIUS ! But I have to say having not quite the fingers of jonesy or you I do play the intro with the added Aflat note but not on the 5th string. I simply let the low E drone whist moving from the Bnote on the 4th string to the Aflat on the same string in a quick move playing only the bottom 3 strings then straight back to the E. Thanks for taking time out to disassemble this song and all the others you've done.
One of my favourite songs by my all time favourite band... Thank you!
Any plans for any Wilko Johnson tracks? Another guitar hero of mine...
Cheers Steve c
Yes!....HEROIC BENDING! Finally somebody called it straight on
My favourite 45rpm of the era. I'm old enough to have bought it at the time. You've made an old (ish) guy very happy.
Thanks Adrian, brilliant as ever, I've really loved learning this one.
For anyone, like me, who finds the stretch in the opening riff really difficult, you could try barring the ninth fret with your first finger and then using second and third fingers to add the extra notes rather than your pinky.
What a gorgeous Les Paul! Thanks for everything man, your lessons and song choices are my favourite from youtube!
best guitar tutor on the tube
Another great lesson love the Clash saw them first they came to Chicago with my brother keep it up keep the Clash ongs coming
Thank you Adrian! Please do more early Clash, Mick Jones stuff! Cheers!
late to the party but excellent lesson on an all time classic song, well done! if you're ever motivated to do more clash i would like to humbly request I'm so bored with the USA. Keep up the great work!
Damn! One of my favorite Clash tunes. Thank you once again.
Thanks Adrian for another 1st class lesson.
Perfect timing for me as I'm learning to play English Civil War & there are some similarities in the solo's.
Mostly Mick Jones' RnR influence from Chuck Berry.
Great stuff 😎👌
Cheers
@Jack D'Ripa Lol. You obviously haven't listened to any Chuck Berry 😂😂
Wonderful Song, soundtrack of my teenager
Finally early Clash lesson on youtube! Thanks a lot!
Fantastic , as I was listening my brain filled in all the guitar parts. Thanks Adrian.
Brilliant mate 👍👍👍
You're the only one doing tutorials on the stuff I grew up on, and you are certainly the most thorough. Cheers from Los Angeles!
Richard Hell; who does that? Adrian, that's who...
Thanks again Adrian! Another belter - almost my favourite Clash song. Your choice of bands & songs seems to mirror my own musical journey exactly. Almost all of them are on my 'Songs I want to learn someday' list. Brilliant!
Just love Adrians vids! Funnily enough, I watched Clash’ documentary ‘West Way to the World’ last night (highly recommended) so Adrian is not only brilliant in his playing/teaching/taste in music, he can apparently also read my mind I knows what I want him to make a video of! (I’ll watch another punky-orientated video this week and see if he can pull the same trick off 😊)
West way to the world is a great doc
Maybe one of best ever
Check out ramones end of the century...that’s up there too
Amazing, plz do more clash songs, especially the stuff mick Jones does.
Adrian I didn’t get anywhere close to making the right noises
but loved revisiting this part of my life. Keep it up
Thanks for sharing this Adrian. The Clash were/are stll very underrated IMO as a musicians. Great tune, great lesson.
Jonsey had the 61LPjr with p90 cranked. Right outta the box they blew me away.i actually had my hands on Joe's tele the security guy said"don't even think about it"lol thanks for the video, really brought me back.
Hey Adrian!
I'm a proper novice with the guitar still, but I've loved the eclectic choices you pick for your song tutorials. You're the reason I've been able to learn and (sloppily) play any tunes at all. I know you've done Making Plans for Nigel on this channel, and that's probably going to be the next song I dig into. However, I really love XTC, and I'd be super happy if you made a tutorial for one of their songs off of Black Sea at some point! I totally understand if you have a proper list of songs that you're planning on making videos for, so no worries if you're not able to do it/aren't in a hurry to make that video, but I thought there would be no harm in asking!
The greatest punk song, ever 👍
thanks for all your great song choices man! such a killer track, the clash always had a lot of the best and most creative guitar work in punk rock imo!
Thanks man, everiday I like you more and more... you are saving my guitar life with these excellent tutorials.
Nice lesson. Topper did a good job on this song for sure...
Hi adrian I am a beginner but just getting close to the right sounds out of my guitar is encouraging. Also seem to have similar tastes in music.Keep making music and smiles
awesome...you nailed it!
One of the only ones on UA-cam doing good songs. You're my guitar hero!
Excellent! Part of my mid teenage years and one of the earliest vinyl singles I got.Proudly the singles had scratched “Porky Prime Cut” from the guy who cut the Master discs.
Back in the day when this was released,my elder brother had just purchased a Black Columbus Les Paul which was decorated with the word Positivo in garage door self adhesive lettering.
This was in homage to an NME photo of Paul Simenons Bass a Rickenbacker with “Positivo” .Back then [pre internet] I tried to play my brothers guitar and Complete Control Intro in particular,only to discover there was no way of getting a good crunch sound as the Cheap Columbus guitar had low output single coils in big humbucker housing.
Thanks for this fine uplifting video.
much respect from Australia
Great stuff!! Love the fact that you're doing The Clash songs. Can you go for Tommy Gun, Safe European Home, English Civil War or Pressure Drop eventually? Keep it up, great channel, great music!
Cheers fella - your lessons are really good and your presentation first class -- Thanks !!
Thank you for uploading this movie! would you please give another lesson Cheapskates The Clash?
Quality lesson as usual Adrian! Any chance we could get a Fugazi tutorial in the future?
Hey ! Your playing on this song gave me shivers... respect. 🖖🏻
Jaja for a second I thought it was She Lost Control Again! Thank you for making quarantine bearable for others.
Great lesson cheers mate. Interestingly I didn't think the recorded verson of complete control did it justice. Sounds a bit dull and lifeless. If you listen to the live version on the from here to eternity album though, WOW!! That's what it sound have sounded like. Absolutely brilliant.
Well that’s this evening’s entertainment sorted 👍🏻 one of THE classic early Clash Tunes. Clash + Lee Perry FTW.
Big thumbs up. You have nailed it.
Thanks for this!
Awesome song man. Have a good day.
Thanks Adrian! I bought this as a 7" single when it came out, and saw the Clash three times in 1977-8 and even got to meet them right after this was released. I had their autographs and everything, but ended up throwing them away, since autographs were just so against the punk ethos. I learned to play bass playing along with Paul on the first album. I still kick myself about the autographs, but to be able to plug in my DC P90 LP, with the right amount of gain, and get that Mick Jones sound gives me goosebumps. I bought my Telecaster 30 years go, just 'cause of the late great Joe Strummer. "The only band that matters".
That's very cool !
Well Done!
I already know how to play this song but i'm excited to watch this! Thanks Adrian! Wonderful!!!
Thank You! Really 👍
Top track
Very good ,thankyou.
love it love it love it Adrian!
Legend! You are ! To quote Yoda.
Brilliant, as always... again!
Cheers another excellent choice
you are just the loveliest man!
Love your channel Adrian its a great change from all the others who tend churn out all the rock classic's that have been done a hundred times, being into punk in my early teens right throu the indie stuff in the 80s and 90s yours is such a refreshing change cheers muchly....... btw any chance you could cover Elastica's waking up great song imho.
thanks adrian. great lesson
Good stuff
Cool choice, nicely done 😎🎙🎸✅
GREAT song Adrian, and as usual you spoil your audience by nailing the tone - even that bit out of tune as it should be!
In my opinion this would sound perfect on a backing track of some sort.
I'm convinced that the soloing you're showing at around 9:40 was Mick slightly running out of gas, and Joe's sarcastic "You're my guitar hero!" was directed at that bit of anemia.
Thank you!
That Les Paul sounds awesome.
Adrian, great rock n roll moment from the clash and played perfectly and broken down really clearly. What about the guitar solo from station to station and one nation under a groove lessons?
Thanks, Adrian. Another great example, how the songs you choose and the way you present them are both extraordinary. I'm looking forward to every Friday, since I found your channel. (BTW: Did you ever think of taking a look at "Brother" by The Organ?)
Cheers mate, another killer one. You do such great lessons, in every aspect. I was wondering if you took requests. I have a few that have been gnawing at me over the years.
Either way, no worries, and please keep these coming.
Great and cool!!!
Greeting from Spain :-)
Note perfect!
This is Joe Public speaking 'nice job Adrian'!
YES! Thanks for this. I used to do this one as a Teenager and never quite got it right.
Hello! Great guitar lessons and music taste! I think you should do some Ruts stuff, like Babylon's Burning.
It just dawned on me, but is that a Bo Diddley beat mixed in at the beginning? I know he opened for them early on, and a couple other songs have a clear BD beat, but I think this does, too.
I am Mick Jones. Until the solo...Great choice lots of fun with this one.
I don't know if you like Suede but i'd really love to hear some Suede in here! Especially from the first album or even 'Coming Up' which has great guitar playing
You're my guitar.....HERO!!!
May I suggestThe Damned, Smash It Up parts 1 an2?
White Man in Hammersmith Palais...pretty pretty please.
Meanwhile...this is good. Thanks!
My healing broken wrist hates pinky hammers on power chords...get stuffed wrist.
I hate it when guitarists get wanky talking about "tone" , but you really have a great tone here. Suits the tune perfectly. Need to go listen to the original to compare now.
Was a fuzz pedal involved ?
Yes, I don't like the way people are always droning on about 'tone' either, though I'm sure I'm occasionally guilty myself. There's a quick run through of the gear I'm using towards the end of this video. No pedals here, just straight into the amp.
Grrat song, Adrian!
Any chance on a new Dinosaur Jr lesson?
Get me or Just Like Heaven would be great, specially the solos
Yes, might well do another Dino Jr lesson - thanks for the song suggestions, will give it some thought.
please do I fought the law! my favourite clash song
Could you please do a lesson on The leader by the clash? Pleaseee?
Magic adrian any chance you could do a tutorial for kiss me deadly by generation x
Maybe! Great song.
Great video,we’re you using any pedals to get that sound?
Please do Cry by The Birthday Party
Not that it matters, but I think Mick played a Les Paul Jr. during this period, the one Joe dubbed "the heart attack machine."
Would be cool to see you do a Franz Ferdinand song next!
❤
Wow
How did you get the tone?
Sounds great. What kind of Marshall is that? Thanks
Did stiff little fingers copy this song to make suspect device,or are they just similar Barr chords🤔
Did they slide into the e and b chords? That’s what I hear.
A powerful anthem could be Hurry On Boys by the Skids
Adrian, I have a request. Could you do a tutorial on Black Knight by Deep Purple?
Yes, I quite like to do some proper rock stuff, so maybe!
In case it's useful, I recall that Justinguitar did a lesson on this many years ago. Not sure he covered every detail though.
