Beautiful sounding SG Special-I picked up a 60’s Special at Gruhn’s in Nashville several years ago. Great instrument-I had a crush on that guitar since I was a kid. In the 60’s and early 70’s my father managed a coal company store and they sold everything from baked beans to dresses to refrigerators. They also sold Gibson guitars and the store had a SG special like the one you are playing that I lusted after and grabbed everytime I was at the store. Unfortunately, we could not afford one but I swore if I ever could, I would buy one. Gruhn’s made that dream come true-great shop!
Here I am in the middle of Alaska pouring rain my phone starts beeping my favorite guitar Guru shows up Doing a classic Tom Petty song I'm standing in the rain I'm going I can't wait to get home to practice this song oh I'm so happy excited being associated learning from the best guitar teacher on the internet doing all the classic songs that I love so dear thank you do you rock I know why I'm subscribed to this channel it's the best even if it's pouring down rain down rain
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down I got a notification, Doug posted another lesson Tunes went by, me and my PRS were singing little Runaway I was flyin’ Yeah, runnin’ down a dream! So stoked to learn this solo. Thanks for breaking it down into 7 parts. Will make it so much easier to learn.
An epic song - a Tom Petty rock classic. The intro riff always reminded me of Tony Iommi /Sabbath style riff. Mike Campbell was an animal on this! The song structure is quite simple BUT it is all about attitude. Good lesson. Congrats on the 100k subscribers - keep up the good work.
Great lesson for this epic solo. Really enjoy watching your video lessons, even for songs I already know how to play because a) you cover all the little details I'm too lazy to figure out myself, and b) I just really enjoy and appreciate your presentation and you obvious love and enthusiasm for the songs and the guitar playing, which I share. First proper band I was ever in (we actually had a bass player and microphones and a PA and sang) way back in high school, we played the song "Restless" from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "You're Gonna Get It" album. I brought it in and taught the other guitar player the parts and and everybody the vocal harmonies. So basically Petty has been there from ground zero in my life as a musician.
Great lesson! I'm glad you reinforced the ringing E's and B's with the rhythm part. I didn't notice this until I heard the live Filmore version that came out last year. The rhythm part is really dry on 3rds. Power all the way.
It's here, but he calls out using it for the solo, doesn't call out the riff ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tHVf4C2x_3g.htmlsi=OSaNaCXc73rT40Ve
Every time my local radio station plays a Petty song, they always call him by his full name, Thomas Earl Petty. Maybe instead of playing Tom, they should just play your recreation of this song, I already know no one would suspect a thing 😂
