Hi @ireliaismyheroine5366. I know the part you mean. However when I record and edit these videos I do be watchful of time. If I make the video to long viewers don't stick with the video. UA-cam has got more and more like TiKTok and promote shorter videos. As a teacher its hard to get the same recognition as someone playing a simple riff from a song. If I do see a song has a high view rate then I do try and do a more in-depth lesson on my Premium channel. I respect your opinion and appreciate your comments. I hope you continue to watch and support the channel.

@@GuitarMates I fully understand and respect your motivation to shape the video as you did. I greatly appreciate the time you invested to write such a thorough response. I will certainly continue to watch your videos and have gained an increased respect seeing you are a true musician but also a gentleman first and foremost.

hi @jesterm.1202 Great to hear from you and thanks for the comment. I have actually done a in-depth lesson on Alexander The Great on my premium channel. It is such a long song with many parts I thought it was better being n the premium channel. Here is the link premium.skypeguitarlessonsonline.com/courses/alexander-the-great you also find lessons on both guitar solos.

Hi great to hear from you, hope your doing well.

Good call I will add them to my to - do list thanks for that.

Are you completely sure about that. I know they are tuned down standard tuning. Check out this video apart from me being in E I don't see a the use of a Open G tuning ua-cam.com/video/3nWFFojfRiM/v-deo.html. Then again maybe I am wrong.

@@GuitarMates Indeed, you are right, this video shows a standard tuning, but on the album, I believe we are in Open G. It was very clear this morning when I was playing it, especially on the chorus. I can't draw tablature here, but try playing the chorus in Open G in the style of the Stones, and you will see that it really sounds like on the album. I could be wrong too, but perhaps Paul Quinn will be kind enough to tell us where the truth lies if he reads this. Thanks again and all the best to you. And long live Motocycle Man, a sublime piece. Michel in France."

I would be great if Paul would comment on the lesson. I know his niece did.When I do lesson I try and watch as many live videos of them playing the song just to get an idea where they are playing in the fret board. I also now use Moises for track separation so I really hear the nuances of the playing. I do know in the past I have been wrong, but what the hell it's UA-cam. The main thing hear is that your listening to the song and not just opening a tab file and taking that for gospel.

@@GuitarMates Thank you. I finally doubt about the Open G, and I think I'm wrong. Something is still missing for my ears, but...Thanks again.

Dont forget there are 2 guitars and bass adding to the sound. Its only when you can isolate a track that you can hear what is being played. Its not always perfect but it certainly helps.

Hi Eric, Your right about Megadeth, there cover was excellent. Glad you enjoyed the lesson.

Thanks man,

Hi Mike, I see what you mean, in fact both ways will work, its the same chords but in different positions on the fret board. I would suggest doing what I am doing.

@@GuitarMates thanks!! Will do. Glad I signed up for Guitar Mates! Fantastic lessons.

@@MikeMCT and I appreciate your support. 👌

Hi Mike, hope you have fun learning to play.

Your welcome, thanks for comment.

Hi Phili, that is on my to do list but probably just look at the rhythm guitar, doing the lead would take a monumental effort.

@@GuitarMates cool man been searching for a lesson on it for like forever it's a absolute masterpiece of a tune 🤘

Let me see about that. I can't promise as I have a large request list that I am slowly working through.

@@GuitarMatesSure, no problem thanks.

Yes he does a great version, Have you seen this video of Bernie Marsden and Warren Hayes playing the song together. Best of both worlds ua-cam.com/video/EewGHviDc4w/v-deo.html

​​​@@GuitarMatesyeah there's another version with them together ua-cam.com/video/7pKOhEcFD7Y/v-deo.htmlsi=4nBUQKjZwbvj0Esd I saw Bernie do it at a jam session at the old Cardinal Wolsey by Hampton Court. Also catch Micky Moody playing blues duets with my old friend Papa George. But my favourite Warren Hayes versions are the Soundcheck one and the solo one, which could be the basis of another cool guitar tutorial. ua-cam.com/video/cips1ZkakdM/v-deo.htmlsi=OzcAdNjPANdwusW

Thanks for that, I always enjoy seeing musicians just jamming and having a good time. I will watch the Warren Hayes and see, but the UA-cam audience has changed in the past year all they seem to want now are cover version of songs. I have never really understood that.

Hi Jeff, I really enjoyed reading you message. Its messages like that that you make a difference to an old teacher like me. I am happy to have helped you enjoy your playing and ticked one of the many boxes as a player of the guitar. Do keep in touch, and thanks for lighting my day.

You might see that sooner than you think. I am considering working through all the songs from there 1st album.

Hi Dennis, I based what I played on videos I saw of Robin playing the song, but He wasn't in the room with me so not always 100% sure if I am correct. At the end of the day if what you play sounds right then I wouldn't worry.

Thanks glad you enjoyed the lesson.

Thank you so much 😀

I hope I did it justice :-)

@@GuitarMates: U did...The little nuances that most don't hear make all the difference...

I have thought of doing some. Apart from Angel Witch have you any suggestions?

​@@GuitarMates Tygers of Pan Tang during the John Sykes era...his solos will certainly test everyone...'Don't stop by' 'Rendezvous ' 'Love potion number 9' would be a good place to start.

@@GuitarMates well…sticking to the NWOBHM, here’s a couple you may want to consider doing at some point; pretty classic stuff: Angel Witch- Angel Witch (intro lick is pretty tricky) Grim Reaper - See you in hell Diamond Head - Am I evil or Helpless Demon - Don’t break the circle Holocaust - Heavy Metal Mania Thanks!

Yes

I am already looking into this, But it will take some time to create a lesson that demonstrates this as a subject, plus I am on vacation through August so I have been creating video for while I am away.

@@GuitarMates Hi. Ok. Looking forward to that lesson that's gonna rock!! Thank you.

Your welcome, don't forget to hit that like button, it really helps.

@@GuitarMates oh right I keep on forgetting. Will do Geoff.

It's certainly up there in the top 10.

Your more than welcome, glad I helped you learn to play this great song. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks a lot!

Hi David, great to hear from you. You must let me know how you get on with the song.

Thanks, he was what I would call one of the originals blues rockers. Great player and greatly missed.

@@GuitarMates His book, "Where's my guitar" is a good read for brit rock enthusiasts.

You're welcome!

Your more than welcome. thanks for the kind comments.

Hi Eric, lots more available on the channel for you.

@@GuitarMates I love all their stuff, and am now rediscovering (with youthful joy) Defenders Of The Faith in its amazing totality. I'm especially fond of The Sentinel and Rock Hard, Ride Free - challenging songs, but infinitely rewarding! 🤗 Thanks again for your wise tutelage!
