Thanks for always time stamping these vids man.

I wish Carl would hire you

[@jamisonc7500]

@@dutchmaier5018 I would never be able to play guitar if it wasn’t for Carl and his Academy. The least I can do are these stamps

[@kodaallen4329]

When you say you listen to it from the perspective of a psychedelia song- what drugs are we talking? XD I tell u bro most any music on lsd is life changing lmao

[@genicholas3]

Thank you SO much for the time stamps. Makes an excellent lesson even easier.

Not here to ask for a different song or to even mention a cow bell, just wanna say thank you!

It seems as though he can play anything. He is the best teacher on the internet.

[@lnhislmage]

I concur 100%

I listened to this last night, and thought of learning it. This popped up as a notification. Maybe it's a sign?

[@mitkoatanassov6350]

A sign you don't need to fear the reaper

love this song. i've watched many guitar lesson videos of,, don't fear the reaper "but this is by far the best. can't wait ro pick up my axe again

[@KayBeeOG]

Mr. Carl, you're a legend! You're one of the main driving forces that keep me playing the electric guitar! You really are a great tutor and a fantastic guitar player. You've taught me many, many songs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@Bikeadelic]

I'm up to the 13 minute point just finishing up learning the first 3 licks. Loving your l3ssons so fsr because you actually cover the whole song unlike 90% of other people

[@jordanorellano3978]

I appreciate you doing the full lessons no one can match you guitar teaching thanks and please keep it up

[@mariacoyle8513]

This song is just so awesome, the artists of this era are just sooo creative in technique, it aches.

[@tr3ynag4ta]

One of my favorite songs of all times! I am convincing myself to get a instrument and learn to play!! Rather than using digital software to make music this will be my first video! Thank you brother!!!

[@Cademaverickv]

I love seeing you go back on these songs from your old videos and redoing them as the whole song lessons! Thank you Carl!

[@jasonparmelee1142]

Thank you for doing that song!!! One of my favorite leads!!

Carl can you teach more dio songs

[@drsmith4582]

Awesome job Carl. One of my all time favorites to play. Thanks to you, I can quickly go through the solo section with a fine tooth comb. My ears tell me you got it note for note.

[@The73275]

Perfect, thanks for teaching us this complete classic song

[@Longhorn.Rock_Roll61]

Man Carl you have one hell of an ear Bucks solos are not easy . He is very good at half bends at the right places

[@PinkSaltire08]

Your video’s are great I have just started to learn online and I’ve got most of it from you , I can’t play the right speed but hopefully some day 😊

[@bubbaclubbalang355]

One for the razorbacks! Need that solo

I just listened to the whole album and here is this! Carl, you're absolutely awesome!

Can you do your no good van halen

[@jodymaddison8856]

Hi Carl. Would you be able to do a lesson on how to play Cherub Rock by the Smashing Pumpkins? I tried other lessons but they’re confusing. Your lessons are always the very best.

[@xxjj4082]

As Always Carl, KICK ASSS!!! JOIN THE ACADEMY Today PEEPS!!!!!!!!

[@themastermind8175]

One thing I’ve noticed that differentiates him from other KZbin lessons is that he goes over the exact placement of fingers. He won’t just say “use f power chord here and cadd9 here” so if you don’t know the chords, you can still learn and practice the songs. I specifically watch his lessons for this reason.

[@alejandrobarreras8919]

Carl, could you do a lesson on Hitch a Ride by Boston, please That would be awesome

[@mkmusic3652]

yess! thank you❤️ 🎸

[@yawanathanyaaz349]

It sounds much better using alternate picking. I did not know you were supposed to use alternate picking so, thanks for the tip.

[@randallmorgan5184]

Thanks for the lesson Carl! Made an old rocker feel young again! Rock on Sir

This song was my Smoke on the Water. I still play it many many moons later, it's just a fun song to play.

Thank you so very much for this lesson! I love this song and am excited to really learn it. I can play the main riff although I'm still slow at it. But I know it's all practice practice practice. I'm going to learn it a part at a time and this really helps. Thank you again for taking the time to show us how to play this great song.

[@CrueHead18]

Your breakdowns are the best!

[@BlackStarFan007]

Awesome lesson thank you!!!!

[@KingBeevr]

when do we get to the part where you teach me to make my guitar sound like a cowbell? For real though, I love the whole section where you get into the solo. It's very meticulous and well done. Also, because I'm terrible at all of this, it gives me a chance to go back and continue to practice the intro and the fills while your solo breakdown plays in the background.

[@beginnerguitarlessons421]

Carl great video.....also love the ones you sing in.....😂

Don't know which riff is more iconic, this one or Aqualung. It's a toss up.

[@grady9752]

The licks are not the issue Someday I hope someone shows us how to get that spot on perfect tone. I'm using a 100W Katana and I have been really struggling to find that edge of breakup, sustain, reverb, delay combination that I think I am hearing here. He just pegged it in this video without having to turn on the Hiwatt or the Plexi.
