Ceremony by New Order | Guitar Lesson

[@kiaora12]

I've been playing this song for years and always come back to it. It's such a classic! I also really like the Galaxie 500 version.

[@shoegazer1298]

Yeah, Galaxie 500 , loved that version as well 👍

[@sandy00w]

In the Galaxie 500 box set notes, they talk about this song and hanging out with new order, and learning the guitar directly from them. Both versions are great and give me chills every time I hear them.

[@losttimeblues]

I was gonna write that I love Galaxie 500's version.

[@Big_Bag_of_Pus]

Adding tp the chorus of folks who love Galaxie 500's cover as well. It's my second favorite New Order cover, after Chappaquiddick Skyline (Joe Pernice)'s cover of "Leave Me Alone".

[@stephengodsmark4353]

One of the great covers. Even more great cus new order and ceremony is one of the great songs. Truly great song.

[@T289c]

One of the Greatest Songs ever recorded. Simple but Deeply emotional

[@ronanjm]

Completely agree. So elegant and moving.

[@stephengodsmark4353]

Yes it is.

[@indieguy81]

For as easy as this song is to play, I've seen at least four or five tutorials on youtube and they're all different. After watching this I can say confidently that yours is the best by far, and the most accurate sounding to the original that I've seen. Thanks for another great lesson!

[@carloscoll5249]

I loved this lesson. Please do "dreams never end".

[@paulsammax]

I was lucky enough to see the first public performance of this song. I always think that the original release is how the single would have sounded had Ian lived.

[@SubSkip]

This is the song that inspired me to learn guitar (at age 47). I've been working on this song for two years and the chorus section always eluded me. Thank you for breaking it down slowly and showing what strings are being played. Thanks, Adrian!

[@dermot51]

You will be playing this 'perfect' or at the very least like Bernard (ouch!) after a little practice

[@chakakhan3751]

I can recommend Guitar Pro 8. Really helps me

[@dmanntube]

Bernard Sumner is such an underrated guitar player. Great version. Thanks

[@Ohms_vs_Draaggs]

D M that is true but I suggest you check some live footage I was shocked when I saw how he played live

[@daviddockery8962]

baker boys fan with new order he wasn’t as good of a player because he isn’t very good at balancing the roles of singer and guitarist, but if you listen to joy division performances he’s usually always a good player.

[@ryanboshell6124]

The riff that start at 00:52 gives me a reflective, sombre feeling. The opening chords of Regret give me the exact same feeling. Thank you sir for mapping out such an amazing anthem.

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Great choice, played it in a couple of bands; along with Atmosphere and Temptation it's my favourite. The sparsness of the guitar really complements the despair of the lyrics. "Too frail to wake this time"

[@scenario1236]

This song! This song! THIS SONG! The Lo-Fi subtlety The structure.. Emotion.. Quite seriously one of the best songs of all time.

[@djh6970]

When every KZbin Chanel try’s to teach me the blues scale.... then there’s you😁

[@chadlong1109]

Ironically this song does use some pentatonics. But, yeah, something about being really good at guitar makes these KZbinrs have shit taste in music. They all worship John Mayer, and I don’t get it.

[@dsi76]

This channel is one of a kind ❤️

[@19peter96]

@@chadlong1109 It's cause there's a difference between being a good guitarist and a good musician. People who like indie and punk and all that prefer the later. They're willing to be crude and less technical but more creative and original because the guitar is just a conduit for the music. People who see themselves as guitarists first sometimes treat playing more like a sport so they just wanna measure how fast and brutal they can make their blues lick.

[@Diego288Ford]

Chad Long lmaoooo yes i dont know john mayer but i can already say your statement is valid

[@bigboss3051]

stop hating shit you don’t understand. this music wouldn’t exist without blues and blues rock, so there’s a reason why it’s useful to know that first.

[@Messihaz]

one of the best songs ever

[@Mr1967flyingv]

This is the best guitar lesson on KZbin.

[@vv247]

I keep coming back to this one, its awesome.

[@bencoopercoys]

Easily my favourite song of all time, thanks for this Adrian. Excellent lesson as always

[@malcolmlagares8245]

This truly is the best video on this song in this entire platform. . . No exaggeration.

[@06danielsj]

Stops me in my tracks every time, this song. Impeccable taste once again Adrian!

[@bas1cbas1c]

Fabulous stuff as always. Hooky and Bernie sure knew how to write simple catchy riffs. Excellent backing track as well - amazing attention to detail.

[@leafsmithleafsmith691]

Excellent ,Thanks.I remember seeing New Order 1981 February 1981 at CoManche Union Manchester.Its great to see someone really enjoying playing this and sharing their interpretation

[@latontolog]

Great lesson, and one of the greatest songs of all time. My first New Order record was "Substance", so any other version of "Ceremony" always sounded slightly off to me after that.

[@applemanuk]

After working really hard in lockdown today .. you cannot beleive how thrilled I was to discover this video this evening. Thanks for posting.

[@DevoutlyAgnostic]

One of my top 3 songs to come out of Manchester. Ever. I’m glad they carried it over from the Joy Division days. I’ve been playing Substance all the way through at least once a month since 1988.

[@JohnVieto]

One of the best songs ever.

[@BR0WN_H0RN3T]

Oustanding! Thankyou very much. So very nice to see you play this and having fun whilst doing it. It's a remarkable song.

[@mmccartney6579]

What an incredible lesson!! You explain things SO well, and not only make it easier to learn, but make it fun too!! Thank you, Adrian!! Cheers, mate!! :)

[@christopherskoczen4589]

Such a beautiful song and the type I will play for years without ever getting tired of it. Thank you so much for this.

[@garypreston2024]

Fabulous Adrian! Barney so underrated! One of my fav songs to play.

[@diegoaguayo5707]

Came to learn this song today finally. Remembering Ian Curtis!

[@ricardoroberto100]

Brilliant. A single I have played regularly since it first came out and the original version is still the best. Thanks for covering it.

[@rockinbobokkin7831]

man.....you murdered that in the bloodiest, best way possible. absolutely killed it. that was awesome.

[@StephenInKanata]

Wanted to learn this one for years, now's the time!

[@plev10]

Thank you SO much for breaking down the ultimate JD/NO song Adrian! Now I can finally play it properly!!

[@georgedoyle7971]

Great cover!! I saw New Order in concert back in the 80s they were supported by the Happy Monday’s. I was only about 18 yrs old. Feels very nostalgic to hear this now. Shame they split but that’s the nature of bands. Can’t imagine what Ian Curtis would have written if he was still around. A great loss to music. All the best great guitar lessons very clear and well demonstrated, good luck with the tutoring.

[@steveholderness1450]

Just another reason I'm happy to support you on Patreon! This is perfect..

[@andrewhibben8327]

You are the man, Adrian...thank you for this - I reckon I can do this one!

[@PabloMollAN]

My favourite guitar lessons channel. Thanks so much for the content. You made me go back to the guitar after years. Now I can't stop.

[@FantasticTrees]

Thank you Adrian! Fantastic lesson. My favorite song of all time!

[@nicennice]

Another great choice of song. Lucky enough to have seen Joy Division live when I was sixteen. It was intense. And for those that haven’t seen Radiohead’s take on this you’re in for a treat. Thanks Adrian.

[@malcolmlagares8245]

That introduction was GREAT ! ! !

[@moonlitwebs]

this is my favorite song, thanks for doing this🤘🏻

[@juancjdz]

I've discovered this channel just a few days ago and I'm enjoying so much! Great song selection, totally different to others

[@germanrobledo9291]

Thank you. Great job!

[@slamrobot6584]

Fantastic video. Seriously. Great work.

[@Dreyno]

Brilliant. Love Ceremony. Fantastic. Thanks 👍🏼

[@jake2879]

Thank you so much for making this. It’s one of my favorite albums

[@jazzblasterrr]

Jake Heywood what album did this appear on?

[@mcbrodz1663]

Kev BeeTM Bee more of a singles collection rather than an actual album m

[@jake2879]

Jazzblasterrr Whoops i meant to say song

[@christianhahn1299]

Thanks so much Adrian. My favorite New Order song. And delighted that you provided the backing track--so key!

[@jonburrows2883]

Nailed it! Absolute classic

[@Rynaylorguitar]

Thanks for the introduction to this one. Love the lifting barre finger idea.

[@markweaver8529]

Perfect,I’m seeing new order in 2 weeks so I’m gonna have a crack at this.’thankyou.

[@zarnero]

AWESOME

[@WMJS0]

Already liked your earlier Joy Division songs and now New Order : great ( and going tot see them this October)

[@robhooworth6738]

Fantastic lesson as always. How about something by The Durruti Column? I imagine Vini Reilly is the sort of guitar player who would be right up your street.

[@dermot51]

The incomparable '.Sketch for summer' maybe

[@alexZZGuitar6447]

Hi Adrian, thanks for introducing me to this great track and brill guitar playing from yourself.... just wondered if you might look at 'Regret' By New Order sometime? I think Bernard Summer playing a 12-string electric that Johnny Marr gave him i think if i got that right? has a nice smithsy sound...

[@vv247]

Every song I know well on your list you play exactly how its recorded 👌

[@deannilvalli6579]

So well explained. But where he says "primitive" I say "elegant".

[@TheKorpan44]

Glad I found your channel. Great taste in music and good for a beginner, like myself, to play quickly. Thanks

[@martynspooner5822]

Am running out of plaudits for this guy just brilliant every single time .

[@EditHandIe]

Song added to my learning list 🤘

[@spacemen2629]

I love you my friend!!! So many my loved songs I'm dying to learn!

[@mikelumbreras4903]

I am a big fan of your lessons and this king of musique. Thank for your video and your advices.

[@bernarddouthit4647]

Great job mate! I love this song and you do it justice.

[@blakewhittington4336]

I know you're a Television fan. How about the song Days or Ain't that nothing next? Your videos are great and very accurate you're a great player

[@乐文玉]

Great song, great tutorial! Thanks a ton Adrian!

[@imadhamadieh9936]

Love all your videos!!! Amazing songs from the best era for music. Keep it up!!!

[@NoCoverCharge]

Just made my Sunday practice session So much better...Thanks for this fun One!!!

[@mkn.567]

bless you, skinny, flannel man. I suscribed! love this song so much and the chorus was throwing me off exactly how it was played.

[@mrcoan7553]

This is awesome! Long a favorite! Thanks!!

[@juicylucy5797]

Simply beautiful.🎵

[@tbobmann229]

Brilliant song!..The guitar work is quite impressive to be so simple..but damn what an awesome song!

[@vvanhellsingg]

Thank you very much for doing Ceremony! I saw New Order I think in 83 here in Düsseldorf. Bernhard Sumner played a Gibson 335 ? through a Vox amp but not an AC30 but I think an early solid state Amp that makes that distinctiv trebely sound.

[@alexgansert9936]

The guitar on this song sounds so good.

[@craigesson6944]

Fantastic stuff, thanks very much!

[@rickderby8438]

Really enjoyed your playing. Yes passionate and with a lot of feeling. Thank you for this. And, you chose my favorite version. Thanks man.

[@audacityofthemind8348]

I absolutely love this song

[@mheberling5939]

Dude! It's been a while. What a way to kick things off again. Great tune form a great band. Looking forward to more.

[@pme77713]

Loved this one! Thanks!

[@diskonnektion5496]

I think there’s some footage out there of New Order performing this song as a trio where Stephen Morris sings the first verse while Bernard Sumner plays the guitar parts. The first chorus is sung by Peter Hook, while the second chorus is sung by Bernard Sumner. The addition of Gillian Gilbert allowed Sumner to focus on singing the first verse while Gilbert would play the guitar parts.

[@acpg]

Sounds good - will have to give that a watch.

[@simdoyle]

Thanks for sharing Adrian.

[@grenmatze]

New Order... YES!

[@shakeynineteen-sixtyfour1559]

Another great lesson. Thanks so much Adrian!

[@texas_triple8146]

Prefect! Subscribed. Thank you for the work this takes to create and share

[@adriennec532]

Such a beautiful lesson - thank you 🖤

[@SyntagmaStation]

Just love Adrian.

[@Grunfeld]

Love this! Would love to play it live but I know it would clear the floor down the Dog & Duck. So much fun music to play other than KOL. Thank you for your channel - a nice reminder that I'm not (quite) alone :)

[@Wyserbytheday]

Adrian, can you please make a compilation of all your play-throughs? It's wonderful music in and of itself, that would be the perfect track for work. I'm sure it would be a KZbin favorite.

[@pmbiff]

Excellent, thanks for covering.... love it

[@simonwebster1148]

Brilliant tutorial and song choice as always Adrian, would love to here some more Smiths and Stooges tutorial, would also love it if you did a Replacements tutorial!

[@sherman1348]

Pls do Atmosphere!!

[@stevendugandzic4347]

Right out of the ball park brother brillant❤

[@symulcop]

Excellent tutorial! thank you! Greeting from Lima-Perú

[@acpg]

Glad it was helpful!

[@redcoat4ever323]

FANTASTIC!!!

[@andrewdkussmaul]

love the lesson, I recommend you do a lesson on a Stooges song off their debut like "Not Right" or "Little Doll" Great stuff!

[@mcbrodz1663]

What a hero

[@ShlomirBareket]

I always regarded New Order as the electronic Rolling Stones! You play it better than New Order AND Galaxie 500! ‘Dreams never end’ is another NEw Order classic in this mould. The Cure would rip it off for ‘in between days’!

[@mcbrodz1663]

Yuval Legendtofski did the cure rip off dreams never end?

[@ShlomirBareket]

MC Brodz no clinical evidence but sounds remarkably like ‘in between days’

[@АлександърАлександров-р5т]

Great lesson!

[@ourkid2000]

Adrian this is fantastic. You've really nailed it and your explanations are spot on. I noticed you didn't speak about the tone though. How are you getting the right sound because it's dead on. Is it just straight into the amp? So much of this song is in the tone of Bernards guitar.

[@bradpittiful7288]

great song and great lesson man!

[@alleygh0st]

Thanks. Much appreciated.

[@shapdanone]

Absolute banger

[@gonzodidonato4852]

I love your channel even more!
