ACE How Long Lesson Solo Lead Guitar

[@matthewandsteven]

I am 50. I was 14 years old when this was a hit. I have always wanted to sit down and learn this song, great lead guitar.You have done an excellent job with this! Thank you! It's so much easier to be a guitarist these days. Just pull up a video, watch how it's done, plug into a thousand perfect sounds (yes kid's those sound's took us a lifetime to create and maintain and make) and hit repeat on your ipod! I had to pick up the needle and put it back to the beginning it took 4ever! Thanks!

[@jmorra]

Always loved this perfect little solo. A textbook of " less is more." Thank-you so much! Will learn!

[@MrZofo]

Thanks very much, I'm glad I could help out. I must apologize for the video quality, it got messed up when the files where converted.

[@prepn]

Finally cracked this solo after many attempts thanks to your great lesson. Cannot thank you enough ! Peter.

[@mongopeavey]

Great job. Thanks for posting, it saved me a lot of time figuring it out by ear. :-) I had heard this song on the radio a few times when it first came out. But then a live band played it at our last High School dance of the spring, and it instantly became one of my all time favorites. The guy was playing an ES 335 for the solo, and I was floored.

Hey man that first chord is just gorgeous :o) and showing the chords to the song and the solo. Well played too. Thanks for taking the time to upload a how to play version of "How Long" is a class song.

[@MusicTennis]

I did all the tracks except lead guitar. Your video helped tremendously. Thanks !

[@dingodadanimals]

Thanks, MrZofo! I'll be playing this song on Saturday night in Tarpon Springs, FL, and it looks like you posted this just in time for me! I've played that solo before, but now I see some things I was doing wrong. Nice job!

[@luminositymusicbrianpricka6357]

dingoDAD the position for the solo was very interesting.

[@Hellscrap3r]

You, sir, have done my Dad justice. He played this on the actual record, and I thank you for doing such a good cover of it. :)

[@BrianArtea]

I agree!!! Wow really that's your dad on the record?

[@glasgowweddingvideos1569]

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS... YOUR A STAR.

[@ChristianMichaelVitone]

Wow, great job.....nailed it! Thank you for posting this great solo!!!!

[@mikeradcliffe5556]

Loved your phrasing on the "great fun to jam with it" comment at the very end

[@peithkichard]

fanx, my main man....your mah hero of today !!!!!

[@tdarnold]

Thanks for this great vid. Our band is playing this tune and I learned the solo from this great video!

[@OakBluffer]

At the end, the 10 sec Mrzofo jam is out of this world! Paul Carrack needs you.

[@melroberts7987]

Very cool lesson.

[@ndsquared]

Great to see this one laid out...great song, nice job!

[@2009starlite]

Great tutorial but what format video are you using or which camera? Maybe the type of compression the camera uses is not adequate for the platform you tube uses, or the signal was being distorted by some appliance while you were recording. try converting it to a different codec, good luck thank you.

[@gbastow]

Thank you so much for this!!!! You saved me a lot of time.

[@axxeman2002]

Nicely done - just one thing; it's in B flat and the first chord is Ab/Bb (A flat major with a B flat root). Otherwise it's all good. Getting some video break-up in places though so maybe higher bit rate needed ...

[@taxitalknyc7600]

BRILLIANT !! Grrrreat lesson for a Great song.. ALWAYS thought this was a cool song !! ;)

[@Lemonsong59]

Great video! I picked up a few points on your style besides learning the solo. Sorry if it has been mentioned before but at 1:19 you mention that the solo is in B. Seems like C to me. Am I missing something?

[@ortizbrett]

He says Cm

[@offriff]

Do you have a website to see the video without the blur?

[@321j78]

Thanks, this one is hard to find. Is the verse just the G# and A#?

[@EHuff37855]

This kind of video distortion is sometimes simply due to dirty tape heads... that is if you are using a tape medium. In which case it';s easy to fix, by just cleaning the head with a cleaning tape which is a nominal expense. Nice job on the solo..

[@BernieZazz]

What effect other than fuzz is on the solo? Flanger?

[@morrisman64]

Great lesson thanks!

[@MikesYourMortgageGuy]

Great Work!

[@colorider903]

Seems like I showed up late for the party. Anyway,,, that was Awesome!! Really nice.

[@MikeyMack303]

Excellent! Thank you for sharing that! As far as "why this happens", my guess is that your effects pedals are interfering with your camera. There was a significant "buzzing" sound that started as soon as you turned your effects on!.........You've probably figured that out by now.......I just noticed "how long" ago this was published!!!!!!!

[@blueleadguitar]

You've done an excellent job, great work and thanks! :-)

[@splush-beats]

I love this song. Well done!

[@jimjim7819]

Yes thank you for this !

[@TheAndyGillespie]

Great song and thanks for posting this lesson just what i needed - you've made a lazy guitarist very happy :-)

[@bluesroc]

can you tab this out the lead guitar parts

[@eduardosolerubillus6573]

Excelente solo

[@telecasterdarren]

Did you film that with a potato 😮

[@rtg1999]

Right on chords a real big help thanks!!!

[@scottybee33]

Please redo this. You're right; you're the only one to show this you tube.

[@therhayanz]

you are so amazing bro.... you are my idol...

[@ebayfools]

it's the video codec you're using during rendering. play with your little codec!

[@glennkrzeminski7539]

Only my opinion but I don't find that the A# in the base of that first chord adds much to the song. When I play unplugged I can't even hear it. If you are having trouble fingering that chord you have a few options: you can simply play the G#M (G#M is in the key of Cm so it doesn't sound bad), you can finger G#M but strum only the middle notes omitting the base note altogether, or, I find it easier to fret the A# with my thumb, T, X, 3, 2, 1, X.

[@eschreffler]

dude, that helped allot

[@tdarnold]

Start off with a little higher quality video to keep it from becoming blurred I am thinking.

[@mkii1964]

I feel like I’m having an acid flashback....

[@rabidgoldfish65]

Nice...the lead is very Santana-esque.

[@thecookchef]

Very Good Video but I can't learn the solo because of the video quality.

[@glennkrzeminski7539]

You're so blazing fast the video can't keep up with you!!! Cool effect, albeit unintentional. Thanks for the video.

[@agork]

No it is sensored

[@daryjohnson643]

ITS A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX, MANDELLA EFFECT.

[@alienskater552]

[@ambrid5837]

Very helpful, nice job with pull off phrasing...but man, youve got serious amp buzz

[@JAZZSTARish]

This tune is still poignant to me. Thanks for the upload.

[@austinduran3557]
