Dude you are a great teacher. Thanks man. My first memories are my brothers putting this song on first thing in the morning when I was like 4 years old and this song was brand new. I would not have played guitar if I never heard this then. Now I can play it thanks to you.

Many thanks Joe. I stumbled across the intro one day but needed you to show me the rest.. Wasn't what I'd figured.. I'd never have got the lead break..Brilliant...

@gordonwong1946 Год назад

Thank you. It fits in my wheelhouse right now, but moves me closer to soloing and going up the neck.

@gtrjoe1901 Год назад

Keep at it my friend - it will come!! If this hack can do it - anyone can! Good Luck.....My Very Best ~ Joe

@mrmethane10 11 лет назад

Why don't any music books show the exact chords for songs as used by the professionals - how the hell do they expect us to learn. I gave up trying to learn the guitar after many many years of frustration. This may persuade me to have one last try before consigning them to the loft for ever.

@Berniewahlbrinck 10 лет назад

Hi! Thanks so much for this lesson - I've been trying to figure out this beautiful song since 1967. I'm not too sure about "you'll have it in no time", but I'll keep trying!

@Ronno4691 10 лет назад

Bernd, it looks like the bass note is G, on the 3rd fret of the E string (the thickest string on the guitar neck. From there, he picks the F note, 3rd Fret on the D string then picks the same string on the fret behind (or 2nd Fret) down to the 1st fret and so on. Afterwards, he adds in the open B and E strings by finger picking them at the same time as he picks the F, Fb & E notes on the D string (or fourth string). All that from just watching this for the first time and not played a guitar in over six months. Persevere!!

@rickvia8435 6 лет назад

Incredible...

@ButtBelch 11 лет назад

Last night, I saw the Monkees in concert at the Houston Arena Theatre. They opened with "Last Train to Clarksville." Peter Tork played the same lead chords you teach in your video. At the same time, Mike Nesmith alternated between G and F chords on his 12-string white Gibson guitar. It was very cool to see Nesmith play with the Monkees again after all these years!

@marklouis214 11 лет назад

Joe, Excellent job on your Last Train to Clarksville lesson. The original Monkees record featured Louie Shelton on lead guitar. I saw a concert video of him playing Last Train to Clarksville, and your lead break is very true to Louie's version. He said that several session guitarists wanted to play on the Monkees recording, but he got it because he created the unique intro riff and lead break.

@MikeFromNashville 9 лет назад

@samanthab.1912 2 года назад

Knew how to play this a long time, but was hoping this would show me a way to avoid arpeggios. No such luck. Thanks for the insight for the solo, which instead of strumming, I'll fingerpick for effect.

@myway43 11 лет назад

The biggest set back I find here on YT is when I am setting here playing at night is you find so many different artist played their songs in slightly different tunings. Sometimes right on 440 tuning , other times slightly higher, some times a slight bit lower. I need about ten guitars set at different tunings. Not enough time, not enough guitars! lol

@blurrg1 12 лет назад

Hey bro thanks again for this one. I am so happy you put the actual solo in. Man it gives it more flavor. I love the C7 and D7 chords to. They make it more fun. I'm sure you get this a lot request lol but if you can check out Vallerie has an awesome intro and Daily Nightly, and Salesman you would really get a kick out of these tunes. Thanks again

Agreed - it's catchy and fun to play ~ My Best ~ Joe

@jbix909 5 лет назад

Excellent. On the f you thought about barring; try add the 9 for a little flavor. The lead sounds great. Very wrecking crew.

@grammarcheck 12 лет назад

Thank! I've also been interested in that riff forever. And your tone is fantastic!!! I don't know what you're playing that Lyon tele through, but the sound is awesome!

@gtrjoe1901 13 лет назад

@sdcb27 I'm only picking >6th string/3rd fret to open 3rd string; then pick in order= 4th string/3rd fret, open 3rd string, open 2nd string; 4th string/2nd fret, open 3rd string, open 2nd string; open 4th string - repeat. All down picking, I personally do not pick this up and down. Hope that helps ~ Joe

@HiggsFenderU2 12 лет назад

Nice tone and Tele mate!!

@gtrjoe1901 12 лет назад

@railroading29 ...take your time and enjoy the journey ~ it will come ~ Joe

@gtrjoe1901 11 лет назад

Thank you for the nice complement!! I saw a video of him doing this on YT and that is how I figured it out!! I research all my video's as much as possible, I feel I need to present the best possible lesson. Glad you like. My Best ~ Joe

@dermot51 6 лет назад

Nice Joe have that ascending riff G to F maj7 sorted now thanks

@gtrjoe1901 11 лет назад

You're very welcome. To get the tone, you need single coils - so that means the strat you have and use the bridge pick up, If your amp has a vox type setting use that or a clean tone with a bit of reverb. That should do it, good luck ~ My Best ~ Joe

@gtrjoe1901 11 лет назад

I've noticed that also, but I'm not sure it's that the videos aren't tuned to 440. I think the YT player and how it converts the uploaded video or plays it back with the flash format changes the pitch slightly. I know this because it happens to my videos....just one of the quirks of YT we have to put up with ~ My Best ~ Joe

@railroading29 12 лет назад

great lesson....thanks for sharing i appreciate it..but i cant keep up being kinda sorta new to playing the guitar...lol....

@incredibledisc 11 лет назад

Great lesson Joe. Thanks a lot. One question though - how do you get that tone? I have a Epi Les Paul, a Rickenbacker 12 string and a cheap strat knock off and would love to get the sound you have on this clip.

@AngelMartinez-qs3cf 8 лет назад

Thank you for posting this. I Love the sound that is coming out of the telecaster! I have questiions, is the tele you built and shown on your others lessons? Also what kind of amp are you using. I have bad luck with the telecasters. I tried the MIM FSR Telecaster, the Squire Classic Vibe 50s tele. Maybe when I get another tele, I should upgrade the pickups. What pickups are on your tele you are using now in this video? I love the twangy sound of the tele, what kind of pickups you suggest I get to have like a Keith Richard sound and the twangy sound, that the tele is famous for? Thanks.

@gtrjoe1901 8 лет назад

+Angel Martinez The tele is made by Logan Guitars - really great tele's (I sold my Fender because I liked his so much and they are not real expensive). For sound I am playing through Amplitube 3 software on my Windows computer. I just set up a clean Fender type amp with some compression and that did the trick. I'll have to check out Valerie - stay tuned ~ My Very Best ~ Joe

@AngelMartinez-qs3cf 8 лет назад

+gtrjoeles Hey thank for you posting this! Logan guitars, I am at there website now, is your guitar the White Blonde or the Natural Black tele. I have one other question, I know any guitar can play anything but for the Keith Richards stuff, would you play this guitar or a tele with a humbucker in the nect, like a Fender Classic Series '72? Sorry for the many questions, I am trying to buy a Tele. Thaks.

@gtrjoe1901 11 лет назад

Well, they are usually written with basic generalizations. I take all kinds of things into account for my lessons, guitar tabs, other lessons on YT and live artists videos. Taking all that into account I try to get an accurate lesson, Don't give it up, there are tons of good stuff on the net now & you should be able to be a good player with some hard work (that can be fun also) and time. Take a small part get that down then move to another, you'll be on your way to outplaying ME ~ My Best ~ Joe

@EmmaPeelman 4 года назад

Aha I taut I heard a puddy tat at 12:30...

@sdcb27 13 лет назад

Question on the arpeggios, are you picking all the strings including the open strings within the cord? Sounds like hitting on the root and cross picking on way back up?
