Great teacher thank you ! I wanted to learn how to play this song and i'm already halfway through, thanks to you, maestro

[@skysurfer6870]

Probably the best sounding and the most detailed tutorial ever made for this song. Mahalo

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

15:44 That's what i was looking for! Great!

[@everythingque4635]

My god that tone is AMAZING

[@desisernaguitar]

When used right, the Kemper Profiling Amplifier is really a splendid piece of gear. And I'm a sucker for this 80s style chorused-out guitar tone.

[@joebro77]

Fantastic tutorial! And what a great song as well for learning guitar. 3-4 chords, but different shapes/triads, funk/reaggae strumming, arpeggiations….and a short melody line. Should be a core song to learn for intermediate players.

[@geew-fr9th]

Fair play to you. A very good detailed lesson.

[@Upuia-c4n]

Very authentic demonstration of this famous song sir . Thanks alot for sharing your knowledge on this song. GB

[@andyglamrock]

This song is so great they based a whole country on it! Seriously, I love the rhythm guitars more than the sond iself

[@ILoveIce-Cream_]

Man, what a wonderful lesson! Subscribed without a single doubt!

[@DirkHardegen]

Really great job

[@jayseb]

Great riff to practice. Cheers.

[@listonsssurfer]

Thank you for the explanation of how this song works.

[@JKFlaker]

Wasn’t on my radar of songs I wanted to learn but just might give this one a whirl. Thanks Desi

[@gregarious_one]

Timeless song! My first album ever purchased and still have it. Great lesson, thanks!

[@romannumeral5547]

Thanks Desi for another great video. I'd forgotten how much I liked this song. You've inspired me to learn it. 😁

[@desisernaguitar]

Happy to hear that!

[@bryanmoya1000]

excelente

[@felsner1]

Thanks! Very nice tutorial. Of course, there are many more guitar dubs going on here, but this is an exellent basic rhythm part.

[@desisernaguitar]

Glad you like it!

[@blogsfred3187]

Brilliant lesson for more advanced players.. more please!

Excellent lesson! Thanks for sharing.

[@Andre_tc]

Nice. I like that you explained how to get the sound too. But there are things that I hear different in the original. The most important one is that they keep doing the palm muted b-f# also in the chorus.

[@desisernaguitar]

There are layers in the recording. I focused on the basic parts.

[@henkaverink2562]

Another great lesson Desi

[@desisernaguitar]

Glad you think so!

[@rockmpbbrasil4588]

Congratuations!! the best guitar lesson of youtube!!!

[@philcatalano3128]

Great job Desi! I never realized all the stuff going on in these guitar parts. Of course I never tried to dissect it that level anyway and I certainly don't have the ear that you have either. But very cool guitar parts, great job by you figuring them out and a great lesson on how to play it. You are an excellent teacher! Thank you!

[@desisernaguitar]

You're welcome and thank you!

Nice 👍

[@ront8270]

Great video Desi ... I like how you stay in key and call the keys out ..it helps me understands my short comings ..also the use of triads of the chords ( I hope I got those right on utube) ..thanks for the walk through of the song. Excellent instruction great book .... I’m writing as I’m watching ...cause the flute is in C you play the relative minor Bb to harmonize..do I have that right...thanks for everything

[@desisernaguitar]

If you're asking me which scale the flute is in, I'm not sure. I would say the same scale, B minor/D major, but I don't know if the flute is a transposed instrument or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@louispinault8569]

I believe the relative minor of C is Am. A natural is the 6th of the key of C. My piano teacher used teach me to count down 3 from the root note as well. Also Bb is not in the key of C. But maybe it's a mode? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@semajdis]

Great lesson! Oh the 1980s. Who would have the wit to rhyme thunder with chunder nowadays?

[@desisernaguitar]

Sheer brilliance

[@louispinault8569]

Hey Desi - GREAT lesson! How about Plans for Nigel by XTC? Would love to see you dissect and teach that song. Thanks.

[@desisernaguitar]

Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out.

[@Musicman3832]

What did you have the gain set at? I set my around 4 on the vintage Marshall on amplitube 5 and got pretty close.

[@desisernaguitar]

I don't remember, and settings will differ from device to device. I don't pay attention to the number, I listen for the amount of gain to match what I'm trying to copy.

[@Musicman3832]

@@desisernaguitar Thanks man. I appreciate it.
