Aqualung Guitar Solo

[@jduncanm3golf]

Nailing the missed note at 0:50 was awesome

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

One of the greatest solos epically done, thank you.

[@fcamiola]

Martin Lancelot Barre!!! So under-appreciated in the guitar world! Awesome job btw.

[@gergemall]

Oh my God answered my prayers ❤

[@LEADSOLO]

Glad to help... thanks!

[@phatbackbeat6553]

Martin Barr was an absolute favorite of mine ! Very underrated...

[@rogerstedina2202]

Totally agree! He was never lost on me!

[@oscarsotelo8548]

Awesome, you kept the feel of it, Great Job Man

[@Schizosepsis]

My all time favorite guitar solo!!!

[@surveyordave]

one of my absolute favorite solos of all time! nice job.

[@mrpzak]

Of all the covers I’ve seen, this is prob the most accurate. Cheers!

[@ejej6934]

Tom is just a breathtakingly talented guitarist. Probably should be an in-demand session guy, if they still use session musicians these days.

[@doulos737]

Such a good, classic, iconic lead from the 70s. Nice job!...👍👌👏🎶🎸🏆

[@mguerramd]

Fabulous. Martin said he recorded that in one take, and Jimmy Page was distracting him from the control booth!

[@kenhigh8054]

And that “intentional” missed note at 51 sec is exactly what I’ve been looking for in these covers! And in my opinion you’ve duplicated it perfectly. I’ve rediscovered this song after many, many years and have played the original version over and over again over the last week or so and each time I listen I notice that missed note. I’m not a musician but can pick out intricate instrument “things” from songs. So this one missed note is something I was curious if any covers would reproduce and finally found someone that did it. You! Well done. (Sort of like that little harmonic at the end of George Harrison’s solo in Nowhere man ... I’m always looking for that in covers). Incidentally, I saw Jethro Tull in 1978 in Philadelphia. I forgot how much I love this song!

[@LEADSOLO]

Thanks for appreciating my attention to detail! And thanks for watching

[@MarksMusic123]

I agree with ALL of your comment. I also saw TULL first time in 1978 St Louis, Mo This video was what I needed to completely learn this awesome solo-

[@chucklaspino4685]

Definitely have a better ear than me, i keep listening to the original and can't pick up the missed note. I'll try again, fantastic cover

[@phatbackbeat6553]

One of my ALL TIME favorite solo’s. Martin Barr was in Key west not too long ago. I was booked and couldn’t make his show. 😐

[@LEADSOLO]

My brother caught the show in St Louis and said he skipped the guitar solo in aqualung altogether can you believe that?

[@phatbackbeat6553]

LEADSOLO that’s a sacrilege ! That’s like Page passing on soloing on Stairway to Heaven ! I’ve seen a few live clips of Martin soloing on Aqualung.., he never “caught that lightening in a bottle” again.., I was never impressed with any other ‘takes’.., almost like he had given up on trying to recreate the magic ?

[@jedsmith4988]

@@LEADSOLO He's tired of it, though acknowledges many still want to hear it. He tries to keep things fresh with his group. Tull shows became "predictable" and "stale", as he put it. I've seen every tour he's done since the break-up. All different blends, all powerful, as the old Tull performances were. Thanks for your work!! Studying your Rock n' Roll Hoochie Koo solo. Need to dig into the wallet and buy the tab!

[@baritony8763]

Beautiful. 'Nuff said.

[@gogomg8311]

Martin Barre, awesome guitarist and thank for that impeccable run, so true to the recording which is what true soloists want to learn. thank you brother, rock on!

[@rolandjgutierrez5839]

Wow your a pro I love that solo when I was out at sea In the navy i would get that song in my mind and get goose bumps that was great good tone and you nailed it thank you...Roland from Magdalena New Mexico usa.

[@miekwest1]

Super job. Martin Barre - excellent guitarist!

[@inuihachannel5289]

Good job! Perfect and beautiful bro

[@389293912]

Really good. That's the best, overall, guitar solo of all time (in my opinion). It was so well composed, and played and enjoyable by both guitar experts, and normal folks. Unfortunately, I never heard Martin play it that way live. He always went crazy shredding and never played anything even close to the beauty of that original, studio track.

[@gregmaddux7970]

Solo in that song is criminally short!

[@greytigyr4120]

Thanks!

[@LEADSOLO]

Thank you!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

One of my favorites. Great. At 53,54 seconds I hear something a little different than the record version, but not criticizing at all. Saw them live over a dozen times and that solo was never played the same as they had recorded it.

[@LEADSOLO]

I think you're referring to the 51 second mark. I figured that was the note you heard before I even watched it. I did it intentionally but what I did there was play a short note and leave some space. That is because on the record right there he plays a note with his left hand but misses picking it with his right (not saying intentionally but it's the way it's played). So it comes out muffled. I tried to get that across by leaving a little space there as that note is quieter on the recording. Very observant of you to catch.

[@mguerramd]

We get used to hearing recorded music note for note, timbre for timbre, nuance for nuance, especially when we listen to it endlessly! Which is easy to do with Tull. So you kind of expect to hear that at the concert. But it never is. The live performance is always unique. Which is fine. We can always immerse ourselves in the album anytime...

[@Waverlyw]

That was fun! Great job. Coffee and your awesome guitar work. Ready for Monday. Thank you.🎵🎸

Outstanding solo............ How about doing Jeff Beck's solo on the 65 Yardbirds hit Shapes of Things.........

[@flaviobello11]

Very good man, naild!

[@cragway]

Good breakdown...I think the hardest part of this solo where most players fly by the seat of their pants is at the 45 second mark the quick pentatonic run it's hard to nail that exactly like the recording.

[@LordBransty]

Nailed. Well done!

[@Malady]

Great job! Could you do the first solo from Dreamer Deceiver by Judas Priest?

[@mr3x972]

Knew you were gonna kill it when I seen the SG

[@Peter_S_]

Excellent!!! Thank you!

[@born_again_torinos]

Tom, please, please, please do the awesome solo from Orleans "still the one". Thanks buddy.

awesome but get rid of that kramer guitar strap ughh

Had it since the '70s and wouldn't trade it for the world. I could care less what it says.... I probably didn't know what Kramer was the first 20 years....
