When I first heard this guitar solo, years ago, it just grabbed me. I still believe it's one of the best guitar solos ever written. Thanks for breaking it down, so perfectly. You are a very gifted guitar player and teacher.
Thank you for doing this one! Ian Bairnson is such a criminally underrated guitarist...he has the knack of putting just the right amount of pizzazz at just the right time in a song. Very subtle, very under appreciated!
The way you explain things makes it easier to understand. How the notes from the chords and solo playing those notes explain a lot. There's a reason you have so many likes compared to 0 dislikes. Thanks for explaining it clearly.
your instructional videos are some of the best on RU-vid. Been playing guitar for over 40 years and really appreciate the way you add context to the parts, framing the CAGE concepts and of course the cord tones and arpeggios
Love it! I recall a few years ago that a song by LADY ANTEBELLUM had a very similar progression, and wanted our group to medley/morph into EYE IN THE SKY. Noone knew what the hell song I was talking about. LOL.
Ian Bairnson was a great guitar player. His parts sounded simple, but they were deceptively difficult. But he played his parts around the chords, and he played through the chords.
We can learn a lot of this solo yes, maybe because you explained it! Never say that is boring again! And by the way... Excellent work as ever and thanks for another song from Alan Parsons.
SHUT UP!!!! i was totally digging this song on the radio!!! love alan parsons when i hear it out of the blue! love this and awesome lessons using arpeggios and chording structures!! great lessons and insight on the full structure of this piece
Man you are such a great player and teacher. You and Tim Pierce are the best out there. Is that a wine red Deluxe,? I let a 1974 just like it get away from me......a regret.
Just being mentioned in the same sentence as Tim Pierce it's a huge honor...He's one of the most polished guitarists around and one of the nicest guys to boot! You can read about my guitars and amps etc. on my gear page here: www.shutupandplay.ca/gear.html but it's a 1975 LP Deluxe. Cheers Andy
Great detailed tutorial. Thx sir. You have a very good style of relaying info clearly with just enough background and good solid playing. Nice tone too! I have a student who is very interested in the 80s Alan Parsons material and we’ve been digging into some of the songs lately. Keep up the great work!
The keyboard parts you play starting at around 4 minutes reminds me of the song "Lady" from the Little River Band, which is beautiful. BTW: You are my favorite guitar player/musician. Thank you 👍.
You are right, this is a great song to learn. I see three different scales or modes to play. In the key of D, the root, fourth G and fifth A, you can play bm pentatonic, D major scale, and the A Mixolydian which is the Fifth mode of the D scale. That position at the second fret from the F# - G note A mixolydian. G is flat seventh in A mixolydian scale. From the fifth position of the Key to D. Thanks for the great work you do.
I ALWAYS do a demo of the song, mostly in a separate video. There's a link to my website in the pop-up card in the top right hand corner of the video or the link in the description or the first pinned comment...my demo and the lesson are on the same page. My stuff is a lot easier to navigate through the website. Cheers, Andy
So good man A+ you explain very well and then add a ton of good information in between!! This video will teach me some serious but basic soloist “meats” that I have struggled with thank you 👍🏻
Man, I have ALWAYS wanted to learn this song. One of my favourites. It's still on my workout play list. :-) (Can you give me the Chorus Pedal settings please? ) Thank you. :-)
Very, very cool lesson. Thank you very much. Finally got this solo thanks to you!! Beautiful song of a classic album. I always liked the style of Bairnson. He's a very melodic player. Much underrated indeed. I see you also dedicated a lesson to 'I wouldn't want to be like you' of I Robot... Great. Can you please consider doing the solo of 'Gonna get your fingers burned' of the Eye in the Sky-album? It's a more complex solo compare to this one. Again, thank you very much! Great lesson!
Hey thanks Andy! I used your superb tutorials on a medley of Alan Parson's I released today....swing by the channel and see your tutorials in action ;) Man, that eye in the sky was really tough...got it fairly close but I had to learn all the drum parts etc also.....and I only give myself a week to do these...anywho, hope you enjoy and thanks again....discovered your channel last week and sub'd! Great stuff! 👍
great , just out of curiosity , Q = how do you get that cleab vibing tone ? ( ok i hear a great digital reverb ) but that nice sharp glassy tone reminds me of that hit that goes ; hey now , heay now , dont thinks its over , etc etc
I know you did Bron-yr-aur by Zeppelin but I was wondering if you could do one on Bron-yr-aur stomp since Page kills it and I can't seem to find an accurate tutorial on the way he plays it on Led Zeppelin 3
