Toys In The Attic - Aerosmith. Every Track / Every Riff. Full Album Guitar Lesson Tutorial. 

You sir are a NATURAL BORN TEACHER...THANK YOU!

"Uncle Salty" is worth the price of admission.

First 4 Aerosmith albums are all Classics. So glad that father time gave me the opportunity to listen to these albums in my early teens, as they were released. They were young. I was younger and it was magic. I really appreciate your appreciation of these early Aerosmith albums. I don't think I bought another album after Rocks. Just not the same band, musically. They sort of took out the blues and the balls and replaced it with a mass appeal pop sound.

I like how you keep it moving along without too much excruciating detail

The interplay between Joe,Brad and Tommy on those first 4 albums was orchestral......nothing else like it. They were magic.

Probably one of my favorite albums of all time, and at one time I had 600 albums at one time. Definitely, Aerosmith's best album.

This is an absolute GOLD MINE! This is a wonderful thing you have done. THANK YOU sir!!!

I just faked no more no more in standard tuning. Would have never figured out that great open tuning. Thanks!

I remember as a 12 year old stealing this album from my older brother,(who hardly ever listened to it) and going to sleep with it when I went to bed.....it was my lullaby. : )😴

I was 17 when this came out and after listening to it I decided to make music a part of my life and went on to learn guitar and still play in bands to this day Rock On!!!

Having been born in 1961 I totally agree with your comment that this was the best version of Aerosmith..especially if you are a hard rock/metal music fan like me. Toys in the Attic and Rocks were the 2 albums that started me on my endless journey of heavy guitar/blues driven music.

To me this is the greatest album Aerosmith ever put together every single song on the album is great

Very cool…I’ve wanted to know the Adams Apple riff for 50 years!

Ahhh, no more no more, That song drove me nuts. I tried to learn it in the late 70's when this album came out but this one gave me fits so I gave up. I knew nothing about open tuning back then and the bands all wanted danceable toons. WE slipped in a few but it's hard to get booked if you don't play danceable. Was back then. I got into production heavily in the late 80's and and in the late 90's I was clear out of the band thing. I wasn't making a living playing my guitar but I was making a living running lights and mixing on a pro level. National acts at least once a week. I'm in my semi retirement years now and want to put together. I have a shit load of gear and even have my own pa and lighting rig for clubs / small street festivals. So I don't have to rent gear!!! That song is so easy now that I know what tuning it is in. Thanx

V. nice. Been playing for 45 years and I appreciate the intermediate lesson. None of this... "put your first finger on the 2nd fret...."I'm 62. Wore out that vinyl record on my Mom & Dad's Sears Roebuck hi-fi stereo system!! I was 14 years old. Thank you. sw

70's rock is king , terrific stuff

Adam's Apple is the coolest lick. I reember when this album came out. Def my favorite Aerosmith album, at least of the classics. Thanks.

Thank you so much for doing these lessons in such detail and patience. I'm currently going through your YYZ lesson and im sorry to hear you have been having issues with copyright lately. I just wanted you to know I and thousands of other people really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and time with us.

This is a great way to teach-an entire album of the riffs. It is great for a student to see an entire project like this. Appetite for Destruction would be a killer lesson. Blind Melon's self titled album is also a killer guitar album. Thank you, Sir!

Love your videos. My favorite Aerosmith song is "Kings and Queens"

I would love some Motörhead tutorials I feel like there aren’t any good ones on RU-vid. Would love a sweet revenge from the bomber album tutorial

The first album was great, but "Get Your Wings" got me all the way. I can listen to it on permanent loop forever ... So many incredible albums by many bands from that era, I'm hoping you do more of these... Stellar video, brother !!!

My wonderful childhood involved headphones and this album.

Thank you for the great video -- Very cool. This was the first album I ever actually bought. I thought Aerosmith were the kings of cool back when I was a kid (aside from Dean Martin, of course). I must preface that by relegating my praise to only the FIRST FIVE albums because in the 80s, Aerosmith got a vasectomy, then they got full out neutered as they degenerated into limp-dicked "housewife rock." 80's Aerosmith made me ashamed to even say I ever liked them to begin with. The first four Aerosmith albums in particular made them the best American rock/ hard rock band. They were our Zeppelin, or Stones, because they were more like a hard rock version of the Stones. I forgot how much I loved them when I was a kid. I can play things on guitar, and a sometimes pretty well, if i apply myself, but i can NOT do it without people like you. I can't figure anything out on my own. GREAT video. Thanks.

Thank you for doing this. When you see how hard these songs rock it is hard not to imagine, pound for pound, Aerosmith outshined even the Beatles. Or at least matched them in terms of setting a gold standard.

Look at you KDA, movin up the ladder with 36K followers,,, congrats,,and gotta love Toys…

Years ago I read an interview with Brad and he said that he had a hard time getting down Walk this Way correctly. Kudos to you Sir.

This is really great - note the extreme precision of the songs and how different the style is from Rocks. The guitar parts were certainly played by the given band members in demos, but the actual tracks you hear on the album were done by studio musicians (except for most of the lead guitar bits that were played by Perry and Whitford). Recording Rocks, the band had the power of success and did most of the album themselves.

Toys In The Attic was the 1st 8 track album I ever bought in the start of my young life when I was 13 years old back in 1975 and Elton John’s Greatest Hits was the 2nd.

Aerosmith, Boston Garden, 1978...my first concert ever at 12 or 13 years old......WOW!

Man this LP and Get your Wings were my life! some ways still are.

Thank you Kelly ! I think you nailed “No More No More” always wanted to learn that one.

This is a great video concept! Love it and really appreciate how much time and work must have gone into making this.

Sweet ginger brown!!!

I was a senior in HS when it came out. The first two albums are classics and this one is awesome as well. These are the songs that I learned guitar from. I remember hearing Draw the Line and thinking what a lousy recording. I couldn't name one song on it.

Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧. That was spot-on, mate. I’m a lifelong Aerosmith fan and had no idea how beautiful No More No More was written and played. That whole album is class, except the last track 😅

I’ve always favored Rocks!

Thank you for this. I really enjoy this album approach. I am looking forward to the approach for "Rocks!" We all appreciate the time you give in sharing your talent with us. Please keep it going.

From a les paul guitar playin ‘78 graduate THANK YOU!

My senior year in H.S. was 78.I wore this 8 track out before every football game I played that year.

Stuck at work..... Looking forward to tackling this project on the best Aerosmith LP.....thanks Kelly ...appreciated

Such a good concept. I hope you continue with more albums and artists. You give a great lesson and we get to see the contrasting styles of the artists (Brad and Joe) AND how their parts worked together. Very well done. New subscriber!

i’m 62 & this was one of my first rock albums i played over & over!! Love it!! Did the same thing with “Rocks”!! I also play guitar & have the same guitar , a prs se version!! thanks for this!!❤❤ saw them in Chicago in 78 with AC DC & Foreigner!! Comiskey Park Jam!!!

Would love to see you talk about Frank Marino. He's a great player that's been over looked for years. Johnny Winter spoke very highly of him. His version of "All Along The Watchtower" was completely mind blowing. There's a few live versions on You Tube. They're definitely worth checking out for those who don't know who I'm talking about. I'm sure Kelly, knows all about "Mahogany Rush" Great lesson, Kelly. I hope things are going good for you and your loved ones. Peace.. Joe

Listened for years and I like the history lessons that you bring to the mix.

Thanks again Kelly. I really appreciate your teaching style

One of my favorite albums of all time. One great song after another. Nice job on teaching these fantastic riffs!!!

Holy cow! What a lesson!

Whoa. Just watched the lesson on No More No More…. Then surprise!

Awesome man! I love this album. There's nothing like blasting it in the car stereo on a warm summer day. I can't wait to grab my guitar and dive into this lesson. I probably couldn't play the solo's anyway so just doing the riffs is great for me. Thank you!

Rocks would be a fine choice for a similar lesson down the road. Thanks for this gem.

Awesome lessons with no bull ,,,My favorite Aerosmith Era 🎸

I just discovered your video. This was probably my favorite album of all time. I think I wore it out back in Jr high and high school during the late seventies ! In my opinion it's one of the best albums of all time.

Nice! That Toys/Rocks one two combo was probably the most solid since perhaps the Fab Four.

This is a great video. I'm not real happy that you didn't make it about 45 years ago, my life would be a lot different now

Thank you sir for showing this , especially Adam’s apple

Of course I find this a couple days after buying the tab book. Oh well, good stuff! Thanks

Damn - this was a nice surprise to stumble upon tonight! Thanks!!! This was one of the three albums that charted my path to playing guitar and every lifestyle thing that goes along with that inspiration. I love how you gave the play-by-play for each song with no tangential distractions … great job! Appreciate your time spent on this - kudos amigo!

Seriously Kelly ,you need to be on Truefire or Jamplay,students need a teacher like you.

ahhhh the best Aerosmith era in my opinion :)

"Killer ! Brother ! Amazing LP Lesson !"

What a great video on the first album I ever bought when I was 11 yrs. old...Rocks next please...

Right up my Attic! Thanks

Awesome. Thank you. I played a bunch of these in the 70s but forgot how to play them. Although there was no RU-vid to tell me the actual way to play the songs

I'm 10 minutes in and I've loving this so much. First I've seen Aerosmith several times including v1.0 and love this period of their music. Your teaching style is awesome and I love that you are doing the entire album. Thanks!!!

Great classic album with tasty guitars. Nice job breaking it down.

This is a perfect album.

No idea haw many times I played this classic album but yeah, if I had a nickel ... great stuff Kelly. Thanks so much.

Great tutorial, Kelly!! Such great riffs!! Thank-you!

Thanks for a totally awesome lesson. This album is an absolute masterpiece as you mentioned.

Great series Get your wings maybe ?

awesome, funny that you're doing this,,, back in the day when I learned to play guitar, piano and what knot I always learned the whole album because it was a pain to always restart the song! well done sir, keep up on older albums..

Oh man !! This is a gold mine !! Thank you sir !!

First 4 albums rock!

Wow. Instant liked and subscribed ! This whole album lesson concept is brilliant ! I've never seen anyone else do this. Fricking beyond incredible . 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸Thanks for this.

This is awesome and at the right level of detail and speed for me. Thanks so much.

It's been said Appetite for Destruction had an Aerosmith feel, but i think that there is more Aerosmith in Jerry Cantrell's riffs.

just came across your channel and subscribed, nice work, good camera and lesson. found a new guitar guy.

Hey Kelly, Great job. One thing I'd like to add, and it actually took me years to finally realize this, is that on the outro of Walk this Way where the riff repeats over and over as Joe is soloing actually changes. The first time it happens the notes played in the riff are E, G, G#, E. And then plays the standard riff of A, B flat, B and E. And then it alternates throughout the end this way. I would always play along with the song but something always struck me as not quite right at the end. It took me forever but I finally figured it out. It's just that that riff is so ingrained that you don't expect it to change like that. Give it a listen and see what you think.

Just great Kelly!

Bless you brother. This is awesome.

Fantastic!!!!

Man love the teaching method where was this back in 75 when I was wearing out my vinyls and slowing them down

This is awesome !! Toy's is in the top 5 of my favorite albums.

Another awesome video! I played all this stuff but never correctly. I’m gonna get every single riff down. I’m definitely sharing this one ❤

I Love Ya Man.

Awesome ! Thanks for posting!

That was friggen awesome..

Thanks for putting so much time into this video! Learning some of my favorite riffs!!

This was dead on & amazing. Great album & great tutorial.

You are the best teacher I have seen on RU-vid by far. I give you a 20 out of 10

Epic lesson! Thanx man

Awesome video -- great lessons for a great album. Looking forward to learning these songs one at a time. And I love The Cult, so that will be the next project to tackle! Question: Is that one of those bridges that Tom Bukovac talks about?

Knew ya would. Thanks

Righteous!

...excellent job brother

OMG…subscribed.

Excellent job- easy to follow along.

Hey, KDA, Awesome!🔥🎸

I actually understand this . He speaks my langauge
