The Bitterest Pill (Tutorial)

[@bilbobaggins3139]

‘Nice one’ Mr Neil
Massive PW fan and think your tutorials are excellent and easy to understand and follow. You make little slip ups but you don’t airbrush them to make perfect videos like the so called ’proffessionals’
Keep ‘em coming 👍

[@MrNeil562]

Bilbo Baggins Well thanks mate! I always look back at my tutorials and cringe, but if they work and are appreciated that’s all good! I don’t profess to be brilliant just passing on the little bit I know.

[@milliemckenzie3034]

Brilliant! A tutorial you can actually follow! Not everyone reads music, and instead play by ear. Thank you so much 🤘

[@korkyrougewhite864]

Mr Neil - you are honest,engaging & funny - bid cheers great song by the way !

[@lesmalone9109]

Honest rendition of a tricky song how I like to like to learn

[@cyclesgoff9768]

And , of course, for you keen CAGED students out there the modulation between the F#m and the Amajor (is it the relative major and minor😄) can be played with the CMajor shape at the 12th to the convenient F#m ( Am shape with the route on the 9th).Again another falsetto tip if your performing this live is to wear black, have your stage crew wear black and have he or she stand behind you at the end of each verse and apply a pair of pliers to one gonad, only one mind you, that gives you the unfeasible octave. Seemingly the punters love ❤️ it.

I've loved this song for years , now thanks to you I can play it , a big thank you .

[@MrNeil562]

Andrew Cooksey No worries mate. I'm always glad to pass on what I can and find it's useful.

Blimey...something we can follow, patience, humility an all that. Bravo!

[@MrNeil562]

Ta mate!

[@cyclesgoff9768]

Dude , you are correct with the second version , it’s similar to the “ It makes me wonder “ part of stairway with a B minor to D major on the end. I was always fascinated by this song because allegedly PW wrote this as a piss take of ABC’s magnificent “”All of my Heart”, and didn’t want it released😱. The falsetto at the end of the verses is easy, just wear a pair of Y fronts two sizes too small.. Respect ✊.

[@alihart]

Both of those songs are indeed magnificent

[@Theleasinoz]

Thanks this was really useful, it's great that you pick a classic Jam song, it is much appreciated

[@danphipps615]

[@MrNeil562]

Hi Gaz. No I haven't had the solitude I need for a while. I will try and get some done soon.

[@NicolasGirls]

What is that SG up behind you good Sir?

[@MrNeil562]

It's an Epiphone SG Pro mate. It was a bargain so couldn't resist! It's away getting set up so I haven't actually played it in earnest yet.

[@NicolasGirls]

Thanks for the reply, I have one that looks exactly the same I got from a friend it has Gibson pickups and smells very old (like a charity shop)

[@Justwhois]
