The Darkness - Growing On Me Guitar Lesson Tutorial

Here's how to play Growing On Me by The Darkness!
This lesson was inspired by watching a tutorial by Justin Hawkins himself on his Patreon. Incredibly, after a couple of live group chats via zoom, me and Justin actually met up for a 6k run down Brighton seafront! He was absolutely great and it was a real dream come true to spend time with one of my heroes like this.

Big love to everyone who's watched this video. This is a deep cut but I love this song and band so I really appreciate every view 🙏

[@BDHO73]

Is it really considered a deep cut? That blows me away. I always thought this was their best song! It never dawned on me everyone didn't think that. That guitar part is ace. Thanks for the tutorial mate.

[@christopherguzzi1316]

Not a deep cut at all. One of their biggest hits.

[@christopherguzzi1316]

If you want a deep cut listen to "Deck Chair".

[@memothemiddlingguitarist3160]

Best song about 🦀 since AC/DCs "Big Balls"

[@EJH-jn6mo]

not a deep cut.

[@joshwmusic6838]

Please more Darkness!!!! Makin' Out, Open Fire, Roaring Waters! SOOO MANY GREAT TUNES!!

[@MrDMF567]

This song, and pretty much the whole Darkness catalog, is so damn catchy

[@kevinwalsh8483]

No word of a lie.... this is one of my favourite songs..

[@andycrowley]

Mine too 🙌

[@Smugwood]

Absolutely spot on...hope Status Quo are listening...been trying to learn Quo but very little tutorials are close. Be great if they put something official out like this.

[@marvelousdata8744]

Your videos are very helpful ! Thank you and continue for ever😊😊

[@raymondmathisen225]

Dude, before you mentioned def leppard I swear I was thinking about it. That this song totally give me the same vibe as photograph from leppard! That nostalgic 80s vibe, with the chord progression, the rythm and the arpeggios. Just love this kind of songs!

[@colinsavory2484]

I'll have to learn this one tomorrow, just heading out to see these guys live in Reading tonight 🤘🤘🤘

[@andycrowley]

Apparently Reading was kick ass! 🙌

[@BobLoblaw1985]

Sorry, lesson quality aside, that tone is JUICY! Love it

[@gavinx13]

Anyone know what the set up is for that sound? I have a multi fx pedal I can set but I always struggle to get the right sound.

[@mickmoggers]

Great tutorial, saw them.last week on tour. Fantastic🙂

[@andycrowley]

Me too! Such a great night out 🔥

[@Christine16425]

Super Andy👍🏻 j'adore écouter la guitare électrique 🎸 même si je ne joue pas le plaisir d'écouter de voir *fan de Darkness, Kiss, The hellacopters, VH...

[@inayatsama6059]

Hi Andy great again love this stuff thank you Andy 😍💯👌👌

[@fd9717]

Andy, sincerely you are an excellent fan of The Darkness. Can you do I Believe in a Thing Called Love acoustic version tutorial? Dan once did it and it was mind-blowing.

[@andycrowley]

It's basically the same as my electric tutorial, but maybe a bit more strummed that's all :)

[@Dreyno]

Wanted a proper video on this for years. Missed it because I wasn’t subscribed but could’ve sworn I was subscribed for years 🤔. Anyway, thanks for another epic video 🙏

[@marvelousdata8744]

Hey andy! It'll be Christmas month!! Please make a tutorial of Christmas songs on electric guitar! Feels good

[@andycrowley]

[@tommyyoung7391]

[@shehanbartholomeusz7511]

is that GITA from k-on?

[@gerrardhart6040]

Hello there....

[@purviparikh6701]

Can you do a tutorial for Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift?

[@andycrowley]

More Taylor Swift videos dropping soon for sure 🙏

[@purviparikh6701]

@@andycrowley Perfect! Thank you!

[@apogeedata]

Are you sure he’s not actually playing instead of the D sharp on the Estring he’s playing a C that’s bent up to a d sharp

[@andycrowley]

If I remember rightly, how I play and teach this is exactly the same as he teaches it himself on his Patreon, unless I say otherwise in the video
