A guitar based channel for folk who like to learn good old classic rock. Maybe a few items that have slipped through the net and not been looked at too closely before.
This is great, cheers! Covid times- not so dandy😂! I was trying to work out "a year in the life" from split the other day and decided Tony was just evil😂😂. What a great player and a great band! And your rendition is groovy too!
@@theguitartundra aye, I think it's a lot of open chords around d g and the odd bflat but the bass is so prominent and all the chords anchor on it that it's hard to hear what or which guitar is doing. It's another great song by them though. They really did some amazing, hearty and heavy stuff.. one of me faves!
The whole of blues obituary has a unique sound to it, all the instruments captured in their live state(mcphee could couldn't replicate it live though). I've not heard any other recording by anyone with natural guitar tones like this. Enjoyed your breakdown immensely.
I didn't particularly want to learn any Duane Allman stuff at this stage (more interested in the Burlesque walkthrough) but got hooked by your playing! I did wonder, however, why Parts 1 & 2 were played on your white Strat but not Part 3. That white Strat is so sweet and I just have to find out what pickups are in there, and are they also the same as in your sunburst? ps. I've been playing since the '60s but never even learned a single Groundhog track. Better see what I've been missing !
Firstly thanks so much for watching all of those 🙏😊. Both of those Strats are Bacchus guitars, made in Japan, 20 odd years ago. They have Yuta pickups in them which are quite highly regarded. I think I played the sunburst one, just because it was lying around to be honest, although the frets are slightly less warn on that one, so it’s a little easier to do those Duane bends 😊 - thanks so much for your comment and I recommend ‘Split’ and ‘Thank Christ for the Bomb’ as good access points for Groundhogs music. 🙏😊
I don’t think I have seen anyone else show the minor chord methods. Really cool. With three string power chords, 6 string major chords, fretted minor chords and single string slides, that is quite a music vocabulary. As two string slide bassist Mark Sandman said: that is enough, you know.
@@theguitartundra I have the open tip medium glass for my ring finger. Great! I see that they now have a new Balltip medium glass that may be better (but sweaty). There is also a semi balltip brass one that might be good for pinky playing if sweat is a concern.
I remember reading he used to dime his Amp which I think was a Twin Reverb here with JBL D120 speakers....that pedal is a winner....there's an amp by Mason Dixon that captures his tone too......👏👏👏👏👏
Well done mate.....his playing brings tears to my eyes.. ...so expressive was Duane....the Layla album would not be the same without him on it.....I'm sure Clapton would agree....there's another way to step down from the Am....it's a typical blues phrase....much simpler....difficult to explain but easy to show.....
Great job mate.....he's my hero....I'm old enough to have seen him play live three times before he passed....he's the reason I play guitar today....sure miss those boys
Absolutely love this really gunna help with my bands cover, think we’re even gunna put it on our e.p😁 Love holding claim to the youngest groundhogs enthusiast I know lol
I’ll send it over when done, we’re currently on song 3 of 5 for the e.p it’s a long process getting everything done ourselves with limited equipment but it’s rewarding !
Great video man and playing! Thanks for posting. I’ve had the pleasure of taking drum lessons from Paul T. Riddle and in 1995 he asked me to teach his students while he played for the Allman Brothers while Jaimoe was ill. Then Paul T. Had a band called Seven Moore and I saw them performing this song at the end of the show. Wow! I never got the pleasure of seeing Toy play. But I love love this Lp and there others. Paul came down to my house last year and just tore up my kit! I would post some of that but I respect his privacy. My band at the time played at Doug Gray’s wedding. The band has had a big influence on me as well as tons of people around the world. 🎶. Good stuff.
Always loved the Drumming on this one but in general this Album had a more refined sound which was maybe using better recoding gear or just down to the Sound Engineer, who knows. Anther Gem from Tony TS RIP
1st person to play it righton the money except 1st time through on the C sub Bnote instead of C shape saw toy bunch of times right up close.1st time thru is different from rest of song
Thank you for this! I hope you will not mind my putting a link to my cover version of this song? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dSb-2OHlqlA.html
Very nicely done my friend 👍👍 I grew up a Southern Rocker (MTB, CDB, Blackfoot, Delaney & Bonnie, NRPS, JJ Cale, Outlaws etc.) MTB always seemed to lean a little towards the jazzy side, so very tasteful. Sweet & smooth
Geeeezz , was I hibernating still ? The man is back and I f#@&*ng missed it by several weeks ! Glad to see you here again . And with another lesson in Groundhog greatness . Thanx a lot , that was another one on my bucketlist . One of many more to come , I hope , he cried out in desperation . But I know of the time issue . So I'm happy with everything that comes on here .
Hi, I’m afraid I don’t think I do. I’m one of those peeps that is really bad at listening to lyrics. Are they hard to discern ? I’ll have a listen later and see 😊
@theguitartundra Hey, Thanyou for the reply. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Yeah, there really hard to make out. i used Ai to even spilt the audio so i could just hear the Vocals still tricky. one of the only groundhog albums i dont have thought it might be on the sleeve but cant see a thing. Might need to just ask Ken next time i see them.
@rayrocket8564 although, Jen’s band was singing the wrong lyric in garden last time I saw them 😂. It’s worth a try though. I’ll listen to the BBC one, it might be more discernible
