[@peacefulbliss1]

You're a great teacher and player. Loved that Shotgun Messiah album "Second Coming" and that guitar player impressed me too. Great lesson.

[@delete.102]

Harry Cody is one of the greats undeniably

[@diegojRiera]

One of the most underrated shredders

[@MichaelWilson-ri9pn]

This is like Christmas for me. Harry is the best of the best. Second Coming album should be a must listen for any rock guitarist. His phrasing and tone is like the 90s version of Van Halen I

[@mikehesq007]

No joke! Every song is sonically powerful! Such a underrated guitar player and band. I’ll pay anything for a reunion show/tour

[@MrDollarRoxx]

Ditto. Most underrated rock guitarist ever. Sure, Eddie had Eruption. But don't forget that Harry had The fuckin' Explorer.

[@jasonsetters1059]

Top 5 album of all time

[@dsvet]

Greg Howe on High Gear was like the next evolution of Van Halen.

[@pinetree4600]

You are very good! Thanks for sharing some cool memories. Keep rocking!

[@dsvet]

I used to listen to the track The Explorer over and over and loved it. Awesome tune!

[@24756550]

Thank you for all these 3 for all!'s !!

[@J24777]

Thank you !!!! Awesome David!!!! You are the Best!!!!

[@waybetter6276]

Such a great video. I used to live close to Harry in the -80s. We’re from the same small town in Sweden. He used to skip school just to practice guitar.

[@alexbrenner975]

Thanks so much!!! I’m such a Shotgun Messiah freak. So underrated.

[@Danieleilcane]

Great player! Glad to know someone still remember him!

[@Danieleilcane]

Tim Skold, singer in the second coming album, became guitarist for Marylin manson

[@gregcastdrywall1645]

I didn't think anybody knew who shotgun Messiah was besides myself. Heartbreak boulevard

[@shaneomack5018]

Huge fan of SM. Bought second coming the day it was released

[@pickboy7]

Harry Cody is so underrated! Thanks Dave for this lesson!

[@jpslaym0936]

Holy crap I sometimes I wondered if anyone else realized how f'ing amazing this guy is. He was just mind blowing in his technique but his song writing on Second Coming is just amazing. I still remember those songs well

[@michaelsavage752]

Awesome lesson. Harry Cody absolutely rocks!!!

[@GibsonHeavy]

Thank you Harry ROCKS

[@deathound98]

Holy shit! I didn't expect that, awesome! The first Shotgun album is amazing

[@gymratt88]

great stuff. Shotgun fan too. You've done well by them to not only play it skillfully but also know the artists and their groups. Thank you!

[@Belseful]

He can play that good, because he said to me once: I got a good ear to hear what to play! I play what I hear in my head! There you have Harry K. Absolutely amazing guitarist, seen him several times in the cellar, ohhh man, he is good. Sorry to see how a good guitarist like Harry just vanished... I hope he will come along...and play his amazing guitar again!

[@chubbyteddymonsterproducti1320]

Loved Shotgun Messiah thanks for doing this.

[@batpigguitar]

I love that you did this one, Harry is awesome

[@jeremydean6320]

Harry Cody was a monster guitarist and it’s beyond a shame that he’s not a household name...love love love his work!

[@benjamingoeden6967]

Thank you for doing this!!!

[@lizzietheheretic7831]

Yeah you got a good ear...interesting licks..kind of unusual like..cool video again 🍺👍

[@wonder1908]

Thanx!!! Love Codys playing!!

[@Scottocaster6668]

Boy that 14 minutes went fast! You had my full attention during this. Thank you for our request 👍👍. D B🐓

[@back4onemore]

Thank you 🙏 awesome lesson ,love Harry Cody & Shotgun Messiah.

[@drockny]

Awesome job David. Thanks for bringing back some great memories. I listened to Second Coming so many times back in the day I'm surprised it still plays. What a great player Harry Cody was. I heard he was writing new material with Matt Kramer from Saigon Kick after Shotgun disbanded but I guess it never materialized into an album. Speaking of Saigon Kick, Jason Bieler is an incredible guitarist. The Lizard Album is phenomenal.

[@kreuzzer2845]

wow! after Soo many years, I Never could imagine to see a lesson about Cody! Thank you very much for it! you did a great job here! especially for the explorer!! one of my all time greats!!! Greetings from Germany, KREUZZER

[@vancedean6209]

Another great lesson. Thanks for doing it

[@MichaelWilson-ri9pn]

Oh my freaking god I love you Dave!!! I only bugged you for a few months and here it is!! You are number one on KZbin! I cant believe you did this. Thank you soooooooo much!!!!!!!!

[@chungaleta1234]

Mate, you're hitting my heroes one by one, amazing!!!! Would love to see one on Rob Marcello!

[@emeraldhaze]

Second Coming is insanely under-rated. Love Tim and Cody ! Wish they'd form again. ☆☆☆

[@BillLarkinmusic]

Yes, Harry's work on Count Zero and other tunes with Stu Hamm on kings of sleep. Rocks!!!

[@voronOsphere]

I have the 1st album! Thanks, David! He's a great player! "The Explorer" is a great instrumental! Beautiful melodies!

[@Mad_Axe_Man125]

Shocked someone acknowledged this criminally underrated band.

[@guitarfreak0194]

Awesome Dave... I been a fan of Harry for along but had forgotten about him... Thanks

[@derekmcgowanmusic]

YOU RULE. I have loved Harry's playing since 1992!! So great to see this thank you!

[@The_Macaroon]

Never heard of this guy but will look up some of his music. Great stuff as always

[@davidsollenberger2998]

Thank you so much! I saw my comment about Harry K in your screen capture. I know a lot of Harry K licks already, but it’s great for people that might not know hm. He had always been my #1. As for another suggestion: Vernon Reid

[@mikeherb]

Dude, THANK YOU!! I love Harry Cody. Holy crap he was insane.

[@ryant3600]

Harry Cody was one of my all time favorites as an young adult. The dude is mindblowing. I have an autograph photo from him and some of his picks which are cool. But the dude needs to get back out there he and Vito have frustrated me to no end, cause they've got more musical talent in one finger tip than most musicians of today have in their entire body. I just miss both of those guys.. Glad to see more and more people are starting to find Harry.. Ride the Storm is my favorite solo of his.. incredible feeling in that one

[@delete.102]

Dude you're accuracy is impeccable. But Harry Cody on second coming you should showcase all the other great songs on that album at least four or five or six I can't remember. Just a little bits and pieces of them show them why they're great

[@derekmiller1240]

YESSSS!!!! Thank you so much! Such an underrated guitarist and band 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻

[@syncopatedbox]

Hey dude! Thank you for every lesson that you upload, thanks to you I’ve been discovering new bands and guitarists (I’m 16 years old btw haha) and improving in this amazing instrument, thanks a lot man I really appreciate you and your vids, you’re a god.

[@racrx7]

Thanks for the licks! Cody was soooo under rated!🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@billbruceguitar]

This is great! I played rhythm guitar (and harmonies/doubles) with Harry on the Violent New Breed tour...very cool to see your breakdowns of his solos. Really awesome job man!

[@Scottocaster6668]

Nice! 👍 Lucky brother. Such a drastic difference between albums.

[@tylerarrigoni7700]

I can't believe how underrated Cody is. His playing and tone are amazing. I was blown away seeing them in San Jose, CA with their Second Coming album tour (3 decades ago). His rig sounded so good...He sounded so much better in person than I was expecting. I was shocked...

[@glenncoleman6253]

About time Dave. In a short space of time (3 albums) this guy became one of my favorite guitarists ever. Simply brilliant. I’d love to see you cover The Explorer 😉.

[@chuckhanson7506]

Great job, David! Harry is an amazing and exciting guitarist. A truly long lost guitar superstar! This brings back memories for sure!

[@samuelheldilaof6361]

The Explorer must be one of/if not the sweetest instrumental "metal/Rock" instrumental ever recorded! Along with Perpetual Burn album with Jason Becker...

[@AleX-ux2qz]

Thanks for the video! Guitar part in "I don't care about nothing" really influenced me, I was shocked on how it was even possible to play like that. I see now and then Zinny Zan in rock bars in Stockholm. Sometimes I wonder: what happened to all those guys from the 80s? But they are actually still active and making music!

[@djft6944]

Great job imo Cody is one of the greatest underrated guitarists ever

[@carlweiss9325]

I seen Shotgun Messiah in 92 at JB’s Lounge in Youngstown Ohio. They jammed and T-Ride opened. Was killer.

[@edwincrain986]

I loved that band.

[@samkupper]

Thank you for doing my request!!!

[@eliodrue]

My compliments to you for offering lessons about stuff that is both precious and unknown. Always looked for something like this.You are the kind of teacher that rock lovers need !! Rock on, cheers from Italy

[@MrElliott1972]

Bam….love Harry Cody!!!

[@jimmyvonesh3188]

I've always been a big fan of Shotgun Messiah since '89.

[@mikehesq007]

Dude thank you!! Such a underrated guitar player and band! Second coming is in my top ten albums! If you haven’t heard of shotgun messiah.... you must pick up “second coming”... you’re welcome

[@Scottocaster6668]

Mine too. There's not one bad song on that album.

[@ayesparky9789]

In Shotgun Messiahs - "The Explorer' the final run blew me away, the entire instrumental perfectly showcases Cody's amazing guitar talent.

[@patpolowyk6434]

Great lesson as always.

[@michaelarsen7587]

Good job really enjoyed this.

[@juanrajara2887]

Thanks so much for this lesson. I still enjoy popping in my old Shotgun Messiah cassettes as much as any of my current music. I'm also puzzled as to why you recently received so many requests for this but I'm glad you did.

[@davidsevern4765]

Jason Bieler of Saigon Kick would be a great episode to do. Cheers, loving this channel. Keep up the great work.

[@TheTroutHammer]

Harry Cody is the guy I wanted to sound like when I first started playing guitar 31 years ago. He's still one of my favorites

[@kevinharrington4009]

I love This! Great Job! I was hoping for "don't care about nothing" 😜

[@edwincrain986]

Great episode bro !

[@markkizer3254]

Every other day I look forward to watching what you have ! Thank you! Must be a lot of work ,Shawn lane the way it has to be would be is a song I haven’t found any tabs for ,have you ever messed with it?

[@johnnygault365]

Psychic I thought I was the only one Not even watched the video yet Thanks in advance Halfway in and no explorer yet......hope

[@johnnygault365]

His touch is phenomenon .....

[@JPM777]

I still have the Guitar World issue when he was mentioned as one of the new hot guitarists together with Zakk Wylde, the Skid Row guitarists, Chris Impelliteri, and a couple more. Heartbreak boulevard was the first video I saw and first visual impression of them. MTV heafbangers ball, I guess. Great times, great music.

[@edwincrain986]

Yeah...I was there bro. And I subscribed to every guitar mag ... Back then.Such a great time.

[@erniebender7886]

Thank you ... and I’ll say sometimes you might find Harry Cody on a les Paul forum . He does pay attention to us all believe it or not he considered doing institutional stuff online and was asked to do Shot gun again. But unfortunately him and Tim scold opted out not enough money but they do still chat with zinny. ....... thanks man I hear now Harry does high profile studio work and writes commercials for a living ... thanks David Brewster I almost gave up

[@ajslam41]

He does usually answer on that forum, he is very humble and happy to talk about his music, we talked about my favorite piece of his that never made it for commercial consummation, he gave me the break down on that song, also sent me a autographed pic :)

[@warmoth68]

Great vid brother. Very in depth. The breakdown of phrases is superb. Keep em coming!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnfoxguitarlessonschanne8541]

Hey Brewster I got a deep cut guitarist for you. I’m sure you know tony Bruno from Saraya? Phenomenal guitar player and those two saraya albums are incredible and filled with amazing guitar work. A three for all from him would be sick.

[@GtrMatt]

His playing on those Saraya albums and the stuff he did with Danger Danger is fantastic!

[@cliffordamey4822]

You should have way more subscribers then you have right now your lessons always impress me

[@tomprice3258]

This is great! Thanks so much. Harry is so good!

[@davidsmith-jj4iq]

Great tone on your playing here,so sweet and musical ,and ,its a new name to me , so thanks.

[@scottperrin9655]

I seem to remember buying a Shotgun Messiah cassette and it came with a stencil of the logo. Am I making this up?

[@davidsollenberger2998]

Yes, it came with a stencil. I had one too.

[@carlweiss9325]

Scott Perrin me too, classic!

[@MoCatt]

I still have mine with the CD lol

[@pava2237]

Yes you are right I have mine as well!

[@andyjett]

Stencil also came with vinyl version! I have one.

[@northfortyrecords]

This was so awesome to hear! I too was a huge Harry Cody fan as well as the Shotgun Messiah songwriting and you chose some great licks of his. He was so melodic. So many great melodies he authored!

[@bd0111]

Thanks David. Can't say I'm a huge fan of Shotgun Messiah (remember them from back in the day, but that's about it), but that last lick is really tasty. Any chance of some love for Thin Lizzy? Specifically the Brian Robertson years. Him and Scott Gorham are my favorites. (BTW the Gary Moore and John Sykes lessons were awesome).

[@CoolStuffDad]

Totally dig the HKC dedication to these licks - and really glad you included the "Explorer" bits - was hoping it was the ending run he does at the end of the song - that bit is so fluid & a fitting crescendo. Anyway, great job - dig your vibe in your video work!

[@kevinalfrey2633]

Thanks for posting would you please do Philip Sayce

[@ziltoid-the-omniscient]

Saw them live twice. 2nd coming and VNB. Amazing both times.

[@atteljas]

This was nice. Totally had forgotten him. I think he was such a monster and totally in same league as player as Nuno. Unfortenately the band wasnt that strong.

[@MercutioUK2006]

DUDE YES. Also, perhaps Craig Goldie next?

[@sritchey]

Hey David @latenightlessons Could you do an episode on Butch Walker? He may be considered "lesser known" but is an awesome guitarist/songwriter/singer. He shreds with Southgang and later with Marvelous 3! I enjoy your videos and you've shown a lot of great guitarists and bands that I either haven't heard of (like this episode), or hadn't listened to their non-mainstream hits (like the episode on Kansas) Thanks for what you do!!

[@williamf.buckleymusic666]

Coming in for some more (well deserved) Harry K love. HUGE fan! His playing had a huge inspiration on my own. So melodic and well put together. If you could do some Ronni le Tekrö from the Tell No Tales/Intuition era, that would be fantastic

[@delete.102]

Your technique is flawless. My god dude you're nailing the piss out of it I would be bragging and showing my talent off to everybody. And I'm a really good guitar player. But you are off the chain fellow.

[@chadallegro4086]

Harry Cody rules! Cool choices of licks here.

[@BuddhaBKFL]

Great Video! Would love to see a video showcasing licks from James Murphy! (Death,Obituary)

Nice! I had never heard of him, thank you👍 If you haven’t done it already, any chance of some early Night Ranger?
