Working For The Weekend Guitar Lesson - How To Play Working For The Weekend By Loverboy 

“TURN ME LOOSE” pleeeease!!! 🙏🎸

Turn me loose is another fun one one

I saw Loverboy open for Journey in 1981, that was a kick ass show. Mike Reno really got the crowd going.

Schecter looks and sounds great! Thanks for another weekend lesson

Haha, it was driving me crazy, I knew that riff was reminding me of something.........Carry on Wayward Son! Another good one!

Geez I remember watching this video on MTV back in the early 80,s was about 18 ah the memories that guitar gave it a bit of a metal punch 🤘

Jam of a song....anytime it is used in a movie or comes on the radio it puts a smile on your face!

Marty finally got that technique down of muting the strings with my right palm and being able to control the strings like that, I finally got it. I'm finally there yay😎 what a world of difference when you can control the strings like that and make all kinds of cool licks

Great lesson as always. Big Loverboy fan. Saw them last year and they still put on an excellent show. Paul Dean still rocks. Thanks for sharing!

So much fun to watch you having so much fun...inspiring for us wanna bees. Time to turn on the Marshall and make some noise.

When you were playing the first riff at the beginning, I kept hearing "Unchain the Night" by Dokken. Good stuff as always man!

Lover boy was good girl pick up music! 😆 Thanks Marty!

I was having a good look at the exact same schecter, same colour and all a couple of days ago. Its a beautiful guitar, sounds awesome as well. My other half would slap me if I bought another guitar 😂. Another cool lesson 👍

I saw Mike Reno on Axis TV (RU-vid channel) being interviewed by that curly-haired sweetie. I saw Loverboy at Miami University (of Ohio) back in the 80s. Another great video by you. I can't play guitar for crap, but love your videos. ( did try to play Van Halen's "Unchained" on my acoustic after seeing your video! I never thought I could play a VH song! Thank you for that! Do you like Loverboy's "Only the Lucky Ones"? I love that song and all the guitar parts. I forget the Canadian guitar player's name, but loved his style. (Paul something. Dean?). You're one of my favorite YT channels ... right up there with Foresty Forest -- he's a mountain hiker and not a guitar player, but what you both have in common is personality.

Love that Schecter man. Looks awesome and the Sustainer is a huge bonus.

No way! I just woke up singing this song in my head and here it is 😂

Thanks Marty! We have these 80s nostalgia radio stations here along the coast but from some reason they never play Loverboy. They were huge for a minute, doesn't make sense. Jesse's Girl and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun over and over.

Love this tune Marty, we used to play this tune back in the Early 80s 😊

love that schecter!

Girls WILL show up at your show if you’re rocking Loverboy 😀

Enjoyed it Marty. 👍🏻 You should introduce your audience sometime. I noticed that your pets are around in some of your videos, they must dig the music 😅 They just want to be with their people..no matter what they have to endure to do so. 😎 Seems like I saw something that made me think you are in Tennessee. I do a lot of motorcycle riding in eastern TN with some buds from around the Knoxville area. Some great twisty roads there and in western North Carolina and North Georgia. Been learning a lot, thank you.

Happy Saturday, and a nice selection!

❤❤❤❤❤Thank you Marty, you make us so happy again, you are the best coach ever!!! Greetings from Germany

3:58 Metallica ... and Dokken!? The opening riff is vaguely reminiscent of Unchain the Night... I'm Canadian so I doubly appreciate this lesson: thanks!

I'm happily shocked Marty!!!!! Being in Edmonton this was a teenage staple when I was a teen.Canada has some good classic rock from the 80's.Streetheart,Harlequin,Fist,Loverboy,Queen City Kids had some great songs,tnx for the reminder.

Great pick Marty

First time I've heard was in GTA Vice City ... and omg that game introduced me to so much good music! #Loverboy

Cool lesson here Marty! Thanks man, just in time for the weekend too. I can't get over that guitar, that thing is tough looking and the color really pops man.

Nwice! Paul Dean is the man!!! just watched a video he has up how to play it

Great lesson, love that guitar man. Cheers Marty!

Thanks for sharing

Kicking off the weekend!

The other day when I finally was able to do that technique I was playing all kinds of awesome s*** I'm there dude I finally made it LOL

Love it! Great song and easy to play Marty I love the channel 😊

Dive into some Rush!

Sounds like Unchain the Night by Dokken, when you slow it down.

That guitar is outrageous! I love it! I want one! What is it? Some kind of Explorer/Destroyer type body.....But who is it made by?

Killer tone, what did you run that through?

Wow never realized how much Hadfield resembles the cowardly lion. Pretty funny.

Also I just discovered Lexi Rose, oh my goodness. is she beautiful so gorgeous and she's a natural guitar goddess. oh my goodness can she play go check her out. Now that's Entertainment she also works with GMM guitar Mastery method and you can see why. She also said she's only been playing for two years, that's what happens when you're young it's easier when you're young it certainly is. it was so easy for me to learn things on guitar when I was a kid and I didn't get serious with it till I was 59 and now I'm 63 and I'm just getting The Knack. you know what I mean when you finally feel like you're playing guitar,

Sounds kinda like some George Lynch tone!

what type of guitar? ESP what?

Nice Marty….. you are to young to know them….. How about Streetheart!

This is the way you play it if you’re substituting for no keyboards. This is not the correct way that Paul Dean played it as he just played A straight B bar chord.

Lover boy ? Good song I guess butt the presentation on they videos was a little too whimpy

The way "music" has been the last 15-20 years I fear guys like this are going to disappear and guitar players will be extinct in 30 years.

That's just like you, Marty. You come up with some of the coolest stuff to teach us how to play. That's why I love this channel. That's what I'm talking about. I used to like some lover boy stuff. Still do how about White Wedding Billy Idol? .

You gotta be a Canadian Marty...or northern States to know this.
