The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) Guitar Lesson 

1:54 Intro 5:56 Main riff 7:50 High line 10:40 Verse 13:14 Chorus 17:03 Bridge 20:52 Main riff variation 22:44 Unknown progression So glad you finally decided to do this one! Maybe one of the coolest riffs of all time

Thanks Carl, finally the correct notes for this tune, there are so many incorrect versions going around. Getting my Strat out now. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Thanks! my budget does not allow me to thank Carl with the patronage he deserves. But I can do this. Carl, you have been more help than any other source in the last 50 years of playing. Thank you. And thanks for another great song lesson.

Very impressive. That is not an easy song to play. You do not see a lot of cover bands playing that one because the guitar is somewhat difficult. You played it fantastic. And a great lesson. Merry Christmas.

One of the finest guitar intros ever! And such a great song that sounds as cool and rockin' today as did back in the seventies. Would love to have met that Long Cool Woman. I have never gotten tired of covering this.....ever! You can make that riff sound so mean and nasty. Excellent lesson, sir.

Man this is the most detailed guitar lesson,you covered every aspect of the song and did a tremendous job my friend, thanks for sharing one of my favorite songs.

wow thank you so much for being so patient and slowly breaking down the "magic"

I don't always listen to The Hollies, but when I do so do my neighbors.

Good teaching for sure. Thank you. 🎸🤘💯

You are a plethra of knowledge Carl ....keep on keeping on!!

One of my favorites! All of the counting seems weird, but if you know the song you will just know when you need to make the changes. Thanks for another great lesson Carl!

Oh Hell yeah Thank you! I've been running on my half baked version of this since I did my best to pick it out by ear 43 years ago off vinyl after I'd been playing for 2 years. I've never bothered to do better since. It's one of my fave guitar parts in rock, so thanks to you, I'll finally pick up the nuances I missed back in the stone age.

man this is such an amazing song, and an amazing teacher to teach it. thanks a lot. this one gonna be a good challenge for me

Merry Christmas Carl and everybody here!!! CARL YOU CREATE A BIG FAMILY HERE YOU ARE A PART OF MIND EVERY DAY THANK,S AGAIN TO BE THERE FOR US HAVE A GOOD ONE 🍻🍺

Well my afternoon is shot, absolutely amazing thanks for doing this Carl.

Awesome lesson as always, I was playing it wrong for years. You straightened me out on the timing and a couple notes I was doing wrong. I do kind of an AC/DC G and A thing in the verse instead of the voicing your doing too. Your playing is amazing and so damn effortless. Thanks for all you do.

Nicely done. Your lessons are detailed and easy to follow. I appreciate the presentation style.

Love this song, thanks for taking the time to do a lesson on this one!

Thanks Carl! Have a fantastic Christmas! 🎄🎅🎁

Sensai coming with another banger ... thanks brotha ..

Another fantastic grade A tutorial. Thank a million, and Happy Holidays.

love the arpegiated style cross picking. so expressive and detailed. 🎧 Excellent presentation. Thank You.

Carl you have such great taste. There's always one more great song and you're RIGHT THERE.

Much appreciated. Been playing this wrong for a year thanks to Marty! I knew it didn’t sound right

Absolute classic Carl, thank you for the lesson!

Man, I had lost track of you, by chance I don't know how, but I'm glad to find this channel again 😎 this song is a classic that cannot be missed 🔥🎸

Thanks Carl I never knew and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Killer song.. great job Carl.. I always enjoyed playing this song in the band I was in many years ago. Five thumbs up 👍 👍👍👍👍

THANK YOU, VERY MUCH, CARL, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY AWESOME SOUNDING TUNE!!!! FYI: I'M JUST STARTING TO FEEL THAT I'M FINALLY A BIT ABOVE THE "BEGINNER LEVEL", AND YOUR LESSON (HERE), IS VERY ENCOURAGING!!!!!! MANY MANY THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love your tutorials. I have learned quite a few songs from you!

Thanks, Carl! Will enjoy learning this for one of my friends. He is always playing this song when we hang out

You are one of the BEST to learn from, thnx!! 🎉

Such a classic tune with an amazing guitar part.

Thank you so much. One of my favorite songs. Merry Christmas 🎄

Happy Holidays Carl! Thank you so much for your Hard Work!

Great work. Have a good Xmas from Victoria Australia

Mind boggling? How did you figure that out? Brilliant

Great detailed lesson,thanks much.

Hey Carl, huge fan you have been such an amazing help to my guitar journey. Can you do some more Dokken? George lynch is my absolute favorite guitar player and there isn’t a bad dokken song out there 🤘

Such a great riff

Absolutely fantastic lesson Carl! I've been playing it wrong. Happy new year!

Nice breakdown. I just pound the guitar and go with the feel. LOL Great song!

Great lesson, and Merry Christmas! When I was younger, I always thought this was CCR. Lol

Great song choice and wonderful lesson as always. Thank you. 👍🏾

Best intro of all time!

Everyone commenting here should watch Carl's lessons on Eric Johnson's 'Cliffs of Dover'. He nails it spot on! It's a difficult song but one of the most fun.

Just discovered this song and a lesson drops on it!

Thanks Carl!!! Nailed this Classic!!!

Excellent job, if you could teach I'd love to change the world by 10 years after, everyone would be pumped.

Great job and that Strat sounds amazing not sure what you’re using for an amp would love to know but it’s right in the money spot for that sound on that song!

Good one to sit down and learn on this cold ass Saturday. 😆

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU CARL💖💖👍👍 ANOTHER GREAT LESSON👍

a lesson done properly here, nice share, good song, great band.

Great lesson.Can you please do the whole song lesson for song Gimme All Your Lovin.

Thanks Carl, great tune!!! 🙂

I really love your song choices

appreciate the lessons Carl and i promise i'll sent that donation i promised what 10 years ago now? life gets in the way dude don't know how you do it but keep it up Carl thanks!!! did you get that Les Paul yet you were having someone make for you?

Great tutorial. Always loved this song but never quite nailed down all the lyrics.

merry christmas, carl

Can you tell us how you nailed the tone with your effects and settings? Great job!

First time I heard this song was 1973 off an 8 track called Roncos Good Vibrations.

This is great! Thanks man. See if you can do Joe Satriani If I Could Fly. That'd be sweet.

Carl , I have searched and tried many different guitar instructors on RU-vid and live in person and I will honestly say that you are in my opinion which is 59 years in the making and I’ve been playing on and off since I was about 13. I started because of KISS’ Ace Frehley and to be quite frank I should be able to play amazingly and I absolutely suck. I’m getting ready to attempt to start from the beginning and learn what I need and fix what I do wrong. I’m going to continue to play songs you give instruction on and I want to go back and learn things about playing that can help me play the songs I want to play no matter how difficult it is. I would love to join your guitar lessons but I don’t know where I should really start is there a way I can converse with you privately about your classes and your opinion on where I should start. Thanks I truly hope you see this comment and get back to me. I’m always home, I’m a disabled vet and cancer patient so honestly when I’m not feeling like crap I have nothing better to do. I love your site and how you instruct so I’m looking forward to doing this. Thanks buddy

Good teacher. Thanks

Excellent song!👏👏👏🤙

They didn't have this when I was playing in the 60s.😮 wish they did 🎼🎸
