Hey, kids! I am very proud to announce the release of two new albums: “Tony Cultreri ~ On Betrayal”. Pure instrumental music, straight from my heart. A guitar-driven, intense, and emotional journey. And “Tony Cultreri & Brian Lynch ~ These Different Machines (Deluxe Edition)”. Essential songs, powerful lyrics, and passionate playing. The Great Ride's starting now! Visit tonycultreri.bandcamp.com for high-def digital downloads. They're also available to download on iTunes, and all other usual locations. Now streaming everywhere finer records and tapes are streamed. Your support is needed and very much appreciated! ❤🎸🤘😎 ~ Tutorial Notes: I show the very first note of the intro as an E harmonic played on the 12th fret. Greg Lake sometimes played it that way live, but on the original album he simply plays an open E. ~ Subscribe if you’d like, and please remember to “like” this video, as that helps it show up in search results. Thank you, and enjoy! 🎸

@UncleTonyGuitar7 ай бұрын
My guitar is a 1977 hand made D’Agostino, essentially a double cutaway Les Paul, made by Pat D’Agostino, who had recently defected from Gibson Custom Shop. As far as we know he made five of these. This guitar was made for me. It sounds incredible and has enormous sustain, but it weighs as much as a Prius. He sold the company to Italian makers, who then sold it to Korean makers. You can find guitars that look like it online, but they are not the same. Hope you enjoyed the lesson!

Thanks, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ~ That’s my D’Agostino guitar. Pat D’Agostino was a builder with the Gibson Custom Shop in the 70’s. He made 5 of these by hand. The company was then sold and re-sold to overseas concerns several times, each owner making worse guitars than the previous. A few years later, it died. You can find terrible versions around; this is not one. This guitar weighs roughly as much as a Prius. It is currently in its case, replaced by a much, much lighter PRS McCarty 594 Thinline that I love.

Hi Tony, those are extremely well done tutorials and I thank you for it, only one thing, when Greg starts playing this one, he starts with the low E (not it's harmonic) and the harmonics of G B E. In contrary of the Yes song ''Roundabout'' where in the intro, They indeed start on the harmonic of the low E. I loved growing up with that music (1954 model here ;))
@UncleTonyGuitar2 жыл бұрын
I’ve seen him play it live both ways, but you are correct that the opening note on the original record is an open low E, and not the harmonic. I added that to my notes, above. I was originally going to teach a live version of this, as I feel it’s a much better version, and on that he opens with the harmonic. I decided on the studio version because Keith's Moog solo is superb, and I wanted to teach that on the guitar. : )

What year is your D55? They are such great-looking guitars that fly under the radar compared to Martin or Taylor.
@UncleTonyGuitar6 ай бұрын
This was my 1993 Guild D 55. I traded it in for a Taylor 417e-R Natural because, although the Guild sounded and recorded beautifully, it was becoming just too much for me to play. It’s a very stiff, unyielding instrument. But quite frankly, the Taylor didn’t even come close to comparing. Yesterday, I traded the Taylor in for a Martin HD28E. Now we’re talking! I just could not live with that Taylor. Although it was beautifully made, I would not even put it in the same league as the Guild or the Martin. Now, all I have to do is pay for it…. 🙂
