Everybody Wants To Rule The World -Guitar and Looper Lesson

[@micloupe8978]

Discovered your channel a couple weeks ago. Grateful for the work you do. I’m playing my first open mic this weekend… well, my first in over 10 years.

[@FrankPersico]

That is awesome thank you for leaving the comment I greatly appreciate it. Check back for more videos and good luck at the-open mic

TRICKY!!! You don’t say!!! LOL😂… 60 yrs of Smash & Bash … Where do I find a neuro surgeon to dissect my brain into all those needed channels…. Waaaaaanh!!! {10.6 K…. You Rock 😊…!!!!}

[@FrankPersico]

You can do it. Little by little

[@BCDanno63]

@@FrankPersico I’d need you like the nun’s in school to sit by me and crack my knuckle’s with the pointer when I screwed up!!..😂

I have trouble just downpickinge strings 1 at a. timec hard for me. But. Fast is how I started

[@justbeingmybestbob]

This is my favorite video of yours. The loop videos pushed me back to my loop pedal, and got me a better start this time. But this, the way you explained how to break down the song. Bravo! I have always thought of playing songs like this, and could hear them in my head, but I didn't have the knowledge to break it down. This video has opened that door. Thank you!

[@FrankPersico]

Oh wow. I’m really happy to hear that. Thank you.

[@kelly2558]

Sang this song years ago in a 100pc Rock Choir - very cool. Never dreamed of playing it as a solo guitar vocal but now I am. Thanks Frank. You da man!

[@FrankPersico]

Oh wow that musta been awesome. I appreciate the kind words . Let us know how you do!

[@fieldvisiontv]

You are a terrific teacher

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much.

[@justin6point7]

That was fun! I'm not a guitarist, but was following along at my keyboards. You get Tears For Fears Unplugged, while I get the 3TEETH version 🤣

[@FrankPersico]

Glad you enjoyed:):)

[@RussellSturgill-hs7qm]

Frank...you are growing on me...like a fungas minstrel...Good man!

[@FrankPersico]

Perfect. Though I prefer to be a mold more so than a fungus lol

[@kerrireidy5064]

Frank, Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your stuff and feel like you are genuinely rooting for your fellow musicians and that is awesome. So Thank you!

[@FrankPersico]

Wow, thank you!

[@erikgainesmusic4399]

Thanks for another great video Frank. You are certainly encouraging me to grow in many different facets of being a solo musician. I think its easy for us to get in ruts and just barrel through playing shows from week to week without really growing. These videos are just what I need to keep moving forward.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks man. Believe me I know it all too well. I appreciate the support.

[@markmalanaphy3374]

Great tune 🎸🎶🎶

[@FrankPersico]

Enjoy!

[@cmbates4053]

Thanks for the videos. I’ve been inspired to practice with my Mooer GE200. I’ve been doing it wrong but now I’m getting it. Cheers.

[@FrankPersico]

You can do it. Little bits at a time

[@sambaManniom]

Another great lesson, Frank (subbed). I haven't tried it yet but I'm planning an extra layer using a percussion loop first so it keeps going through the other sections. Cheers

[@FrankPersico]

Go for it! That sounds like a great idea. Let me know how it works out.

[@guitarnuccio]

Great video!!! Would love to see more of these “how to approach…..” videos. BTW, the manner in which you share your knowledge is very engaging.

[@FrankPersico]

I will definitely do more. Nice to know this approach is useful to you .. thanks so much

[@stevewhittaker2930]

Thanks Frank,😊 great lesson 👍🙏

[@FrankPersico]

Glad you liked it!

[@joechiricosta4004]

Great video mate. Lots of great advice and tips which translates to many other songs. Especially where parts can be separated and built upon (intro’s etc.) Even though as musicians we know the songs inside out and we wanna play all the parts 😂 The punters just want the key elements of a song! Be smart with your arrangements. P.s for foot percussionists… same deal. Just grab the most important parts of the song.. accent the right way and whalla… Cheers

[@FrankPersico]

Glad it was helpful! Totally agree w u as well. Gotta capture the essence …cheers!

[@seamasmulholland8839]

Really entertaining presentation, well explained. Thanks from an amateur strummer!

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much. Really appreciate it

[@gadaffi1000]

Like this just discovered guy. Thankyou Frank - from the UK/South of France.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks sooo much 🙏:)

[@gadaffi1000]

@@FrankPersico Your generosity is beguiling and your 'we can still be friends' quip still makes me chuckle third time around....😊

[@CozBoogie]

Well played, nice arrangement, and oddly timed as I was just looking at how to incorporate that D bass part more efficiently.

[@FrankPersico]

I love that. That was always my biggest obstacle hence this video. Nice to know I wasn’t alone lol

[@AG-wg1sy]

Great fukin job! Awesome song

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks AG!

[@van1976]

Nice harmonics in there Frank. I started learning this song a lot of years ago, but never finished it. However, I do a little short version that sounds pretty cool. After seeing your "Short", I went down by "The River" and recorded it, but I was in the shadows and it came out too dark. I'll take an early walk w/ my dog "Jo-Jo" and try again today,. I think you would like it...stay tuned. 🙂 5 STARS! --Van

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks Van. Glad to know you are in the lab working on things. It’s a great mindset to be In

[@Barflew1]

Liked & subbed.Have a RC-600 looper.Thanks for the lesson.Great Song.Have the Ted Yoder CD doing this song .Fantastic rendition.Going to give this 1 a shot. Best Regards..

[@FrankPersico]

Awesome thanks for commenting and subbing. Please check back in and let me know how you do

[@ChrisMacdonald-z8x]

Great practical lesson Frank. It's so funny, I have a big fancy Boss RC50 3 channel LoopStation that looks like something from Star Trek, so it just sits on the shelf, instead been using a tiny one-button AAmoon loop pedal because it's so much more fun to just plug in and go in seconds. Keep up the great work

[@FrankPersico]

Thank you so much. I appreciate the comments. All the best to you

[@stevebailey5254]

Frank do you play in California? I could have sworn we saw you in Oxnard and or Laguna Beach. Learned much on looping and actually playing some songs! Thank You!

[@FrankPersico]

No I do not. So you mean there is another incredibly handsome acoustic singer in Cali?? lol JK thanks for the kind words … more vids coming soon

[@jeffwickermusic134]

😎👍🎸

[@FrankPersico]

Boom lol

[@kennethwooldridge7102]

Frank, been following your videos here recently and they are very well done . You have a very positive affect. Noticed in one of your gigging videos that you were using a tablet mounted on the boom section of your mic stand. Could you share with me what holder for your tablet you are using that will achieve that? Thank you.

[@FrankPersico]

Hi I'm so glad you are getting something positive from the vids. This is the exact model I bought and here is an amazon affiliate link should you want to purchase: amzn.to/3Xj00iN

[@kennethwooldridge7102]

@FrankPersico Thank you brother.

[@bourbonloftstudio]

Hey Frank, great lesson. What strings do you use ? Like the tone.

[@FrankPersico]

Thanks so much. I just use daddario phosphor bronze. 12s Nothing fancy

[@kocherpm]

Don't worry if you don't have a fade button on your looper, we could still be friends. lolololol !!!
