Hi. My name Kelly and I play guitar. Again. Right now I'm 56 years old and I began playing when I was 13. Was quite obsessed as a teenager, often practicing upwards of 14 hours a day. Joined my first band at 17 and continued playing clubs in and around Halifax and Toronto Canada during the eighties.
Because of personal issues, and my failure to crack the big time with my music, by the age of thirty I had pretty much hung it up. Sold my gear and quit guitar completely.
Cue 23 years later and my teenage daughter started showing interest in guitar. I decided to teach her. In doing so, it re-ignited my love of the guitar. This time just for the fun and challenge of it. I am once again obsessed and playing some of the best guitar of my life after nearly 23 years without barely touching one.
No dreams of making it big anymore. I'm happy just pushing my limits to see how good I can get, strictly for the challenge of it.
Phew, I've been working on this for 5 days now and I'm having trouble remembering everything (after all, I am 67 - my memory is not so good anymore) This solo is really hard because it has so many different parts :-) Great video lesson!!! Thank you very much for this great work.
Hey this has nothing to do with this video but I didn’t know how to get a request in, but I was wondering about an old Sammy Hagar song. Don’t make me wait, off of VOA. I can’t find a pdf tab file anywhere I can print. Maybe just intro and basic rhythm. Thanks
I like everything that you said except I completely disagree I think that the cover of born to be wild is all-time EPIC! seems like a weird shout out by you… That being said keep on rocking with your PRS
Getting started on working on have a drink 🥃 on me. I like the fact I can always come back to your video for a refresher when trying to get something right
Instead of playing D to A during the verse, play open A string, fourth fret on D string, second fret on G string, and third fret on B string. Go back and forth with this to the A power chord. I think you’ll find that this is more what it really sounds like. 👍
(Bodhisattva) Boh dee saat va. It is a term from Buddhism referring to an enlightened being who, instead of transcending, chooses to remain on the Earth to help others become enlightened. With the song, Becker and Fagen are actually making fun of all the hippies following Buddhism at this time in the '70s, therefore, the references to China and Japan. Also, Aja is pronounced Asia, like the continent. Guitar playing was good though.
If you need to play this bloody song in your set of hackneyed cover versions transpose it down a semitone to E - much easier & more natural. You’re welcome ✌️🎸✨
A wee bit fast... great song, BTW Max Webster is one of my favorites. The entire catalog is great, Universal Juveniles, IMO, a great heavy record... I saw MW on the Moving Pictures tour when they opened for Rush. I was 13 and blown away by Kim's playing... actually the whole band was phenomenal. From there forward I was hooked, couldn't get enough of Max Webster, went out ans bought every LP starting with Hangover (the original on Taurus Records, ans just so I didn't miss anything I bought it on the Anthem release too. The quirky lyrics, progressive type guitar playing .... fantastic! Anyway thanks for the breakdown I've been playing this wrong 😅😅
Gosh, can your fingers crack open walnuts with no problems? Is it just me, or your fingers just shred the fret board like a hurricane? Awesome performance.
