BEWARE OF DARKNESS GUITAR LESSON - SOLO INCLUDED - How To Play Beware Of Darkness By George Harrison

[@russellkempe3231]

Nothing short of magnificent from George Harrison. One of his very best.

[@randy_constan]

Excellent. Thought I knew it but now I realize it sounds better with the open chords mixed in! Boy what a genius Harrison was. Few realize how amazing that he was able to make a melody so seamlessly fit these key modulations. Not to mention the slide solo. What an ear!

[@montymason1647]

Excellent take on Harrison's most haunting -- and prescient-- composition. And a brilliant guitarist he was and remains. You've done him justice, note for note: FINALLY, an online guitar tutor who understands Harrison's leaving (far) behind the pentatonic bottleneck slide solo for a chord-tone conceptualizing, fusing Indian classical and American country Jazz elements and urban blues to the measure: Ravi Shankar meets Tal Farlow and Elmore James, and yet comes out Our Sweet George. As to the overlooked lyrics: one notes that this this morning, the Right-wing Supreme Court opined from the bench that holding to legal account a president who incites an insurrection to end American democracy is more a "threat" to the "peaceful transfer of power" than the conspirator's attempted insurrection, George presciently responded All Those Years Ago: "Watch out now, take care Beware of greedy leaders They take you where you should not go While Weeping Atlas Cedars They just want to grow, grow and grow Beware of darkness" Indeed, George, indeed.

This is my favourite song on my favourite album by any artist!

This tutorial is outstanding. I've watched lots of "how to play X song on guitar" over the past 15 years, and this is near the top: the content is laid out well and easy to understand, excellent presentation, notes, and the tone and delivery of the teacher's voice. I've always wanted to nail this song and i feel confident i can crush it thanks to this video. Cheers!

[@geoffbox1684]

The G#minor gives the feel for me. Beautifully exdcted...

Indeed... Someone posted a comment from Germany with an ELP live video. Unfortunately, I can't find it now :-(

Thank you very much for this excellent lesson. 🇺🇦

[@andyjamerson5613]

This is the first of your lessons I’ve run across. I’ll definitely be looking for more.

[@FilmFlam]

Hey, Howard, it's Rich from the future (relative to this lesson). The other day's lesson on John's #9 Dream led me here. Thanks for both.

[@robhead22]

Marvelous. I love this song, and I have long wanted to learn it. Ty

[@iamjesper]

Very nice!

[@overcome8628]

Damn, I love your lessons!

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thanks :-)

[@mathguy829]

Very nice

[@FAB7362]

This is so good. I even hear parts of Baby Blue on here from Badfinger.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Yes... George Harrison was key in those Badfinger tracks. It's my understanding that he played slide, sang background, produced etc... Baby Blue and Day After Day seem to have his "touch" for sure.

[@FAB7362]

@@247GuitarwithHowardHart Love watching you play. 👍

[@tomkrovatin9346]

Very nice. First time seeing your posts, via Beware of Darkness. Considering your faithful slide work here, I see you’ve posted some Doors lessons, would you please consider posting lessons on Moonlight Drive and Wild Child?

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Thanks so much for watching... and yes, I would - time willing :-)

[@marcoantonioorozco1137]

GREAT

[@bradleydeeming2725]

Incredible video as always! Are you using a pedal and if so what are you using?

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Hi - Thanks... I'm using a Joyo Chorus Pedal. For the slide tone, it's just my Orange Crush RT20

[@TonyNardella-n7y]

Excellent

[@fishgazoo5851]

Perfect.

[@guitarstrunged]

Just curious. I've seen many of your videos and I'm wondering if that guitar you use is a Fender or a PartsCastor. It looks much like mine which IS a partscastor made from a Solo Kit. The actual Fenders I've seen, you don't generally see the wood grain as they are painted.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Hi - It's an American Fender Telecaster... Standard

[@guitarstrunged]

@@247GuitarwithHowardHart Thanks for the info. It's what I would chose if I had the bread.😉

[@SuperBC10]
