I can't believe a player of your level on RU-vid tips his hat to the great Poison Ivy. And you manage to come quite close to the Human Fly sound with a JazzMaster, which is pretty amazing. Congrats.
Your daughter has a brilliant teacher, just don't push too hard. She will teach you, if she enjoys music, and I know you're a good listener! Much love for all your efforts on youtube.
Your videos make me want to form an alternative 80s cover band. I love The Cramps, and this is probably my favourite of their songs... along with "Don't eat stuff of the sidewalk". You teach so many great alternative 80s songs. I was working in a(n alternative) record shop for the first half of the 80s and, well, nuff said, that's my bag. How about some Fuzztones? Sisters? (more) Bauhaus?
Anything that keeps alive and pays homage to the sound of the Cramps and especially to the guitar stylings of Poison Ivy, who praise the gods is still with us, despite not playing publicly, is welcomed.
If I had a kid, I would follow Adrian's suggestion, and introduce him/ her to (electric) guitar by learning how to play this, or Rumble. For the time being, I will practice myself ....
Another sublime lesson! Picked up the Cramps Psychedelic Jungle/Gravest Hits after you covered Goo Goo Muck and I love it, overwrought singing and all. It adds to the vibe. The Way I Walk is terrific. The rig rundown was extremely helpful. Cheers!
I very much enjoy your channel. I’ve played in a number of bands though the years but have been recently playing again and have been slightly humbled by the six strings. ☺️ I was fortunate enough to see the Cramps I believe seven times mostly in Detroit and then in Los Angeles when I moved here in the early 80’s Just wanted to leave you a friendly comment and again gratitude for your content 👏🏻
Adrian, thank you for another superb lesson and especially for taking us through your amp and pedalboard settings at the end. You pick the greatest songs.
Thanks Lee, very pleased you enjoyed it. I get a lot of questions about amp and pedal settings so I'm trying to do a bit of that at the end of each of my new vids.
The defining track of my student days; a brilliant choice and clear teaching as always. Really appreciated the gear rundown at the end too. Thank you Adrian.
Fantastic! I stumbled upon your channel by chance and followed it since. I have to say it's a breath of fresh air to see someone that does not play solos and scales all the time but emphasises the importance of the song and music. Thanks !
anyonecanplayguitar.co.uk It’s usually pretty subtle. Rumble, How Soon is Now, Crimson and Clover, Crush With Eyeliner, some Duane Eddy, make heavy use of it. It’s super cool. Probably get sick of it like any effect if it’s used too often.
Another one of one of my favorite bands! Thanks Adrian! As you say, this is excellent for beginners, and indeed was one of the first songs I tackled. However, I believe I never got it right! I will now! Another good song is "I am cramped" - practice for barre chords.
Yup, Univox U-1095 Super Fuzz, Fender Pro Reverb Amp, Fulltone Tremolo and a Maxon Delay, simple but yet very effective for her sound. Bryan Gregory used Fenders amps as well not sure on his fuzz pedal though, probably the same Super Fuzz
Thx for The Cramps lesson! Finally! Not just like all the blues metal same riffs all over youtube. Do ...Of Tanz Victims "Demented Tonearm".Nobody can do it properly.
Thanks Martyn. I might have to take a bit of a break from the Cramps for a while just as I've done 2 songs of their recently. Sure there will be more in the future though.
Hey adrian! Great stuff, have you ever considered doing A video on chet atkins. I would love to see A lesson on "hidden charm", its A a classic tune and is one of his more simple pieces. There are A few videos of people playing it on youtube but i am too slow to learn from them. I love all your videos and your way of explaining things and would be overjoyed if you made A tutorial on any chet atkins song.
I have been looking for people trying to teach lesson on the cramps , And I found this video awesome!!! Would you mind doing Domino also!! ( subscribed)
Sooo good.. I’m cramped ... i’m lovint cramps and you play, guitar cool .. fuuuzzzz ... 😍 coolovemusic mi firma.. au bye adiós muy bien explicado 🤙 valencia spñ
Dude, I look forward to your channel and seeing what you come up with. You keep pulling out some amazing tunes that make practicing guitar fun. Songs I grew up with and songs that are truly unique. Thank you for being you. Any chance you plan on a Elvis Costello tune or tunes? Alison or New Amsterdam? Maybe something XTC?
man I need to ask you a question What effects do you use to play the songs of the cramps? I like them to get them out but I want them to be heard as original as possible, as well as your videos that sound great I hope you answer me 🤟
Seen cramps many times back in the '70s and early '80s poison ivy has never had any respect from the guitar world it's so sad such an underrated guitarist
