This is a really great lesson. Thanks for taking the time to post it. You break it down very well and make it clear and easy to follow. Thanks again, Kevin
thanks for this - it is exactly what I was looking for. The tabs on line were accurate, but you make it come together and seem less overwhelming. Not really that difficult - just making sure the flat picking in the beginning stays clean. You also have a good style of instruction. Thanks for your time and generosity - hope to be good enough to post my own some day!
@alsaxe1 Pete always said that he was the rhythm player in the Who, it was Entwhistle who played lead bass. You can't beat vintage Townshend for the dynamics in his playing - sheer earsplitting angst to soft and delicate. Also interesting to note how his lead playing has changed as he has gotten older....yea, maybe a little to much use of the whammy sometimes...but a lot of finger style stuff in his later career solos. God love the man! He's the authority round here!
Hey man, thanks for this video! Naked Eye is easily one of my favorite songs by The Who, especially the two live versions from Young Vic (1971) and from the Island of Wight Festival (1970). The Young Vic is probably my favorite version, Pete Townshend GOES OFF in the outro solo. No wonder it was one of the last 2 songs played in both shows. Would you mind doing a video for the song "Water"? That's also one of my other favorite songs by The Who. I saw them play live in Minnesota just 3 days ago, and both Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend put on a formidable live show! I just wish those 2 songs were part of their live set. Thanks again!
Great stuff you mention, Nima. I think Tanglewood is easily my favorite performance by the fellas. I'll do a quick, no frills tutorial for Water, as you have asked, and try and continue to keep this platform free of all production value, ha. it'll be up by tomorrow. Thank you for taking the time, friend!
hey, Nima - Well, I thought Water would be an easy Townshend piece of cake song….and its NOT, haha. I may have to post the tutorial in chunks cause, frankly, I'm a little daunted. Pete at his best is harmonically complex, but always beautiful. Its gratifying to try and get my head around it. But Ill get close. More soon, Glynn
Hey- Thank you my good man! I'm really grateful for the kind feedback, and I hope you always just keep on playing - its beautiful, and its important! Glenn
@MarcoJfrisbee I'm really glad you found it helpful - I have no idea what I'm doing and winging it all the way! And, man, I'm sure you will post your own soon enough! These tunes may seem overwhelming for somebody just starting out, but trust me, someone who learned twenty six years ago by ear, this stuff is rudimentary. Its all in the "attitude" and rhythmic precision. If your ever needing any help with anything, I hope you'll ask, cool? Glenn - sorry for the delay - recently homeless.
@alsaxe1 I'll check out the program.....and thanks for the lead. This lesson is just a by ear general interpretation, its not based on any one particular performance. Keep at it! Thats all we can do. Speak soon again, G.
Hi very nice lesson, but I've one question, what exactly do you play at 4:09 it is 1xxx33 or 1x2xx33 or 12xx33 ? It is a G/F or a G7 or a Em7/F I couldnt figure it out...
@superfuzzymomma gotta love the different way that pete approaches guitar playing back in the day. He was a bit off at times w/his solos, but he played and still plays w/passion. I'm not much of a fan of his current style. He uses alot of thumb and index finger. His lead playing is very sporadic now and he tends to lean on the whammy bar alot nowadays
@superfuzzymomma i agree...whenever i felt down and out as a skinny awkward teenager..i put on, either Live at leeds, tommy, or who's next. The cheapest therapist there was..lol....he's my primary guitar influence, then leslie west, peter frampton, early joe walsh, not neccessarily in that order...
@superfuzzymomma i saw zz top in 74. they opened for ten years after..i liked them when they were a good texas blues/rock band. I hated it when they started to write for mass comsumption. i love alvin lee also...one of these days i'll work on his stuff too...Leslie had the best tone in the 70s...i hate his processed tone nowadays...
I saw that your first video for “Water” is offline/uploaded as private and can’t be watched. Would you be able to reupload it? Thanks man! Looking forward to the other parts of “Water” too!!
@superfuzzymomma ah..so u know about the sunn amps!...u r giving away your age...lol...nice les paul in the vid by the way..good tone also...where u from?
@alsaxe1 Same here, that stuff bolsters you with a like a brash confidence right when you need it...or something like that. We like some of the same , fine players. Saw Joe W. gig at Electric Factory early nineties...Joe was playing one of his Les Pauls...he had, still to this day, the most amazing tone I've ever heard live. I talk with a cat who was on the scene with Leslie W. in the day....I should PM you a story or two....How about Billy Gibbons?
@alsaxe1 You may also be right, bro....I know it by ear so am always open to being proved wrong!....I consider you as amending and expanding upon my presentation here...All the more to offer in the expanse of learning! Thanks alsaxe1 Glenn
hey..nice job....at 4:17 try a form of an F chord. F add 2 add 6. the same as u play it at 6:25....That's the way i hear it..lol...i may very well be wrong...i'll try it the way that u played
@alsaxe1 Thats funny man, I'm giving away my own age! I thought you were a kid first off! Well, ya could have been two at the ZZ /Yen Years concert? I'm from Bergen County New Jersey, where Bob Dylan likes to visit in the middle of the night! I'll PM you that Leslie story later on today, names Glenn, Nice to meet you, bro!
Thanks much. One of the great overlooked Who songs. A whole lot of truth in one song
Amen friend, thanks for taking the time to say that
Great lesson bro. Just discovered this now, 12 years later LOL, but have always loved this song. Thanks for taking the time! 😊
great I've been wanting to learn this for years
Thank you, Friend, for taking the time to write
This is a really great lesson.
Thanks for taking the time to post it.
You break it down very well and make it clear and easy to follow.
Thanks again,

@alsaxe1 No kidding?..Great Bill! Far as early / later ZZ, no question there, brother. Yea, Leslie and his Sunn's back in the day? The heaviest.
@alsaxe1 - Mountain - Live Theme From an Imaginary Western, - You've seen this one right? I think its Cincinnati, 71. One of the best solos on UA-cam.
