[@eddiet2]

With patience, thorough teaching, and no b.s.! You, young man, are a very good teacher. Thanks.

[@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials]

Thank you Eddie glad you enjoyed it, you're too kind! I'm exactly the same when it comes to BS in videos, but still that's probably the best comment i've read in recent times! Thanks again.

[@giovannidaminato1717]

Solo ora ho scoperto questo tutorial, il migliore in assoluto tra tutti quelli che conosco. Ce ne fossero di questi insegnanti! Bravissimo!!

[@jerry_fishguy]

Excellent job separating each section into small bits and pieces. I'm not quite there yet but with a little practice I'll be there

[@oatnoid]

Excellent tutorial. No messing around. right to business. I highly recommend it. Excellent video and audio quality too.

[@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials]

Thanks for your kind words John! I had no idea this video would attract so many views haha!

[@aodh5022]

excellent lesson Anthony; clear, well paced, straight to the point, easy to follow. I ve watched a lot of guitar tutorials on KZbin in recent months and this one is easily one of the most impressive. a great tune. I will really enjoy learning this one. thanks man.

[@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials]

That's fantastic to hear Aidan! Really makes my day when people like yourself find these videos useful for your own playing/gigging, all the best!

[@aodh5022]

thanks for the reply Anthony. you're clearly a talented guitarist and equally talented at teaching what you know. you should have no problem gaining the benefits on KZbin; like the song lyric says "you've got it!"

[@SteveMavronis]

Such a great catchy song. Love the solo too. Thanks for the great lesson breakdown.

[@MusicPerson233]

Guitar sounds awesome

[@neatstuff8200]

That's perfect I just can't believe you can do that note-for-note

[@joseph-ow1hf]

Thank you for taking time to reply. Yeah, lot a Brit bands of the era doing the blues thing, but using 'country' licks is pretty cool.That note bent up against one held is a great sound IMHO, plus the double stop bit. Thanks again for doing a lesson on a highly under appreciated song.

[@fincaranda]

I like it so much! Perfect lesson! Thank you so much Anthony! The solo is a hard work. I started with guitar just 2 years ago, but I´l try my very best. Muchas Gracias deste Mallorca /Espania!

[@qua7771]

Thanks. I'm taking a short hiatus from hard rock to do some clean strumming. This song has a nice feel to it.

[@ЮрийБорабошкин]

Спасибо!

[@grievouserror]

LOVE this song! The Shocking Blue original or the Bananarama cover... thank you SO much for the tutorial.

[@haroldnoid]

BRAVO! GREAT TUNE & GREAT INSTRUCTION

You man are a real good teacher !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@milosit]

This is an exceptional tutorial. I have to learn that solo in prep for an Aug 24th/2019 gig. Thank you so much.

[@keyboardpaulh9540]

Except it’s wrong.

[@pierremeridius9540]

Nicely done!!! Fantastic!

[@MrTigerNah]

Great! Thanks! Most useful lesson! Огромное спасибо!

[@oldemails2296]

Well done!! Fantastic lesson.

[@irritatie]

Great tutorial, thanks. One small thing. Looking at the original videos, it seems that Robby van Leeuwen is playing the Am and D a bit higher up on the fret board. Not that big of a difference but I though I’d mention.

[@Mooseboy08]

Good tutorial, fairly accurate. But man, those hands and fingernails are amazing. If this guitar thing doesn't work out, you could be a hand model. And I mean that in the most complimentary heterosexual way.

[@uh304]

That was a fantastic lesson! Thanks for sharing!

[@gjprieur7744]

Perfect ! been looking for this one.

[@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials]

Fantastic, Really glad you're enjoying this one! it's great to hear people like yourself are getting on with this video!

[@frankkramer9064]

[@GAZAIRIAN]

THANKS FOR GREAT LESSON COOL SONG! NOT SUPER COMPLICATED BUT THERE IS BEAUTY IN ITS SIMPLICITY! WELL TAUGHT!

[@conceicaoaparecidalemostam44]

Fantastic!

[@carloscoll5249]

Dude this is awesome, can you do long and lonesome road by the same band?

[@MrUniverse]

Good man. It was the little bit of lead work I couldn't quite pick out the opening 6 notes. This video helped without the long bullshit preamble a lot of people do. Subbing.

[@leobardoquintero8708]

Excelente maestro

[@Theearthtraveler]

Thanks for posting!

[@van1976]

Nice tutorial "Ant's", it wasn't on my list to learn, but I'll give it a go....I like the way you broke it down.. 5 Stars! --Van

[@RobtJude]

[@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials]

Thanks for the comment Tom! All the best!

[@javelin1835]

Good lesson. Nice to have a lesson without all the crap. Nice one fella.

[@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials]

Thanks so much! Yeah I'm really not interested in the nonsense, let's just get straight to work!

[@emanuelevitale3231]

Thanks so much bro!!🥰

[@virgil7100]

Beautiful!

[@ZPX945]

Great lesson!

[@andreasfreyaldenhoven5785]

In an interview the drummer of Shocking blue once said that venus became such a success because the guitar part was copied from the beattles. Anyone knows whether he is talking about this part here and what Beattles song this comes from?

[@warringtonminge4167]

Grew up with the Beatles, grew into adulthood with Shocking Blue (+ King Crimson, Led Zep, Small Faces plus loads more rock and prog) but never found a link between Beatles and the stuff I like (until George Harrison was let loose).

[@angelmazon3486]

Genial Maestro 👏👏👏🇪🇦

[@andersonrolim2979]

Congratulations. Very nice.

[@diegoinga8495]

Thank you very much!!! That helped a lot

[@jsteelman1000]

WOW.....cool lesson........how you learn to play so good ?

[@LeCarreNJ]

Very well done.

[@joseph-ow1hf]

it seems like a silly little song, but that solo is really interesting. Thanks for breaking it down. Very cool.

[@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials]

Thanks Joe! You've got a really interesting point, for a 60s pop song the the solo is really a stand out feature, easily overlooked, but touches on some interesting techniques! Great to hear you liked the video!

[@bozka4999]

Vous avez la même guitare que moi 👍 merci pour cette leçon 😊

[@flaviocortes8072]

Bravo!!👏👏👏👍

[@javtah]

Nice job man Thank you!

[@lamper2]

I like you give notes not frets. After that first sus 4 chord they play a diving down note. what note do you dive from?

[@Teach2TeachMusic]

Excellent tutorial video

[@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials]

Thanks so much for the comment! Great to see another music channel!

[@ameliahare209]

Anthony really nice and concise lesson you spend your time on! greatly appreciated the only thing is one part that sounds in 1:08-1:11 of the song that I dont know what to play. anybody pls help ;-;

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Amelia Hare Barre 7th fret 1st finger all 6 strings 3rd (ring) 9th fret A 4th finger pinkie 9th fret G

[@WA-.-]

There's a slight difference between this solo and the original solo.. after listening closely, i realised that the lead guitar plays the third part twice, instead of a 3rd and 4th phrase combined, as showed in this video.

[@keyboardpaulh9540]

Yes this is wrong

[@Yvesfrenchtouch]

thats great can we play VENUS with a cello ?

[@skilz4days]

i love this!

[@DJNITON]

How do you play the solo on banjo?

[@basilebasilavecchia5707]

please, tell me. The neck of yout guitar seems to be special. Is it a 12 inch radius ? Something else special ? Thanks in advance

[@jsteelman1000]

Hello, you have a Em right beside the B cord , then you can go to A at the 5th fret why not use it ?

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

John Steelman because it rings to high..You don't want that high b and e string ringing out plus when you finish on the Bsus4 you can hit the a thru g string and side down to 1st position em as they did on album..That whaaoo is very noticable as the chord progression begins and Mariska began singing

[@becomingclear]

What is the finger positioning/tab for the B7sus4 Chord? Cheers mate

[@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials]

Hey! So index finger barring the 7th fret, and then ring finger playing the 9th fret of the A string, and then pinky finger playing the 9th fret of the G string, hope this helps!

[@zetmoon]

Pretty good but in the second part the little finger should be on the first (high-e) string and there's twice the same line.

[@luizcarlosmarchioreto8153]

Aula perfeita!

Aula maravilhosa (Brasil )

[@jeanpat8946]

Perfect !!!!

[@jersonmajin]

Gracias!

[@philoumars3168]

This exactly the kind of song which seem simple to play on the guitar but in fact it is not. Rhytmic guitar if not easy at all, the chords are so simple but the right hand has a great importance. If you do not play it well then you make a depressive noise and it is a pure catastrophe. That" s the test.

[@msenecal]

Easy to play. Hard to play well.

[@emilianozapata9747]

Añachay wayqe: thanks brother! 😉🇵🇪👍🏻🖐🏿✌🏼

[@lesbrown8099]

Thank you...:)
