How to play 'Werewolves Of London' by Warren Zevon

[@blimeylimey13]

By far one of the best teachers online and in person ❤

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Blimey - much appreciated and hope you are well as can be! Shane

[@vincentlussier8264]

My favorite thing about your GREAT videos is your excitement. It is contagious and makes everything fun and enjoyable. I have played guitar a LONG time and do a lot of different stuff. I recently started taking lessons with a younger guy who is a music theory wiz to help me fill in the gaps of how and why I am playing what I play. Hanging out with him has brought out the fun and excitement in playing again. I feel the exact same thing when I watch your videos. It brings out the JOY of playing. Thank you!

[@mermaid10x]

learning this tune for me is important for a few reasons and Shane made it fun and easy. I always wanted to sing but didn’t like the sound of my own voice however for unknown reasons I can sing most of warren zevons songs. Big surprise to me how it actually sounds ok singing werewolves of London which gives me the confidence to keep on singing whatever I want. Pavarotti I am not but I can stay in tune and I have loved warren zevons music since I first heard the excitable boy album. Thanks again Shane for teaching this tune

[@nof123]

Love this guys enthusiasm in teaching, makes me excited to watch and I enjoy myself learning.

[@RhettK1996]

I've recently discovered your channel and you're already my favorite teacher on KZbin! I love how people of all skill levels can get something out of your lessons and have fun playing along. I never leave your videos feeling frustrated or discouraged, but inspired to learn more. Would love to see some more Zevon tracks from you! Cheers

[@GuitarAtWork]

A big thank you for that - glad to have you here with us! Shane

Another lesson that’s chuck full of options ! Love the fact that I can revert back to simple version once my fingers get totally tangled up. Great challenge, can’t put it away. Fun stuff… , Thanks again Shane !

Big thank you! Shane

Fine work.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Glad you enjoyed! Shane

[@chesterproudfoot9864]

Good lesson, and instruction. I liked the higher key options. I'm trying to learn some Allman Brothers up around the 9-12 frets so it's not alien to me, but it is really nice to be able to mix in some fun "campfire" tunes to reinforce my practice without getting frustrated. Thanks.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Chester - all the best with it. Sounds like you’re on a good path. Cheers, Shane

Thank you! I really appreciate that. My best to you, Shane

[@KevinORourke25]

One of my favorites Shane. I got the beat buddy, but being a coffin dodger, I find the Aeros a little complicated. This, as always, is a GREAT tutorial. Thanks so much.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Ha! Thank you Kevin - it's a favourite of mine too. Glad you got the Beatbuddy - so great! The Aeros is not complicated.....it's the easiest looper I've ever used, great to have the big screen so you can see exactly where your loop is at. Cheers, Shane

[@janetsorensen3998]

Hi Shane...AWESOME lesson...youre such a great teacher and fun to watch. You make alearning so many songs a do-able thing. Btw, can you just plug the Beat Buddy into a wall socket?

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Janet - glad you enjoyed. The BeatBuddy plugs into the wall socket for power but you also need to plug it into an amp/mixer to hear it. Cheers! Shane

[@mcgseafrass77]

Cool way about you. Thanks

I'm a girl. I have girl hands. The best guitar playing advice I've received in years is to bring the thumb down to extend the pinky. Thank you for that!!

[@GuitarAtWork]

So glad it helped you Patrice - so often it’s those little technical things that hold us back. Best to you! Shane

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Nice lesson, like the sound of your Taylor. What model is it?

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Brad. It’s an 814CE (2019). Cheers, Shane

[@robw95]

Great lesson. Stupid question, Beat Buddy looks cool but what do you plug it into? External speakers, computer, or does it have it's own speakers? Thanks.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thanks Rob - glad you enjoyed. Not a stupid question at all, many people have asked about that. You can plug the BeatBuddy into an amp or even better into a little mixer and then out into powered speakers. That’ll give you these amazing drums in stereo. Fabulous. Cheers, Shane

[@bonscott6353]

I cant hear this song without picturing tom cruise dancing round a pool table.

[@benjaminmcdougall8805]

How about a single guitar riff incorporated into Mrs. Robinson?👍

[@GuitarAtWork]

Great idea Ben. Thanks Shane

[@benjaminmcdougall8805]

Funny that I had just mentioned this song (WW of London) to someone yesterday saying it was another Sweet Home Alabama which Every Day is a Winding road is also but in Eb, then you posted it today, I currently working on your It's a wild world which isn't too difficult either but a touch of grey and Smooth are a bit more challenging....

[@jimh375]

It's also sweet home alabama...

[@GuitarAtWork]

Exactly right Jim. Cheers, Shane

[@daveowens]

What mic are you using for these? Sounds great!

[@GuitarAtWork]

Thank you Dave. Guitar is plugged straight into my mixer/recorder. A bit of compression and reverb added at mixdown. I’m wearing a lav mic to capture my voice. The guitar bleeds in as well which helps by blending with the direct signal. Cheers, Shane

[@GuitarAtWork]

Lav mic plugs into iPhone. $75 Amazon.

[@zappasmoustache23]

I’m just sat here going ‘aahwooooo werewolves of london’

[@GuitarAtWork]

Fabulous! Shane

[@cookiemonster5281]

I love Sweet home Alabama

[@GuitarAtWork]

For sure Cookie - a top ten for sure.

[@frankcoffey]

You could easily make a medley of those two song and I'm sure you could find a third. Kinda like D-A-E What I Like/ Cherry Cherry/ R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. medley.

[@romaholcomb7768]

Fun.

Thank you Roma. Cheers, Shane

Not saying the lesson is moving a little slowly but could I offer you a triple shot Espresso!😅🤣😂😉 Actually it's a great lesson for a song I love and I think the triple shot may be a bad scene!

Good comments on the looper, Shane. Only problem is that at this end it is two crappy guitar players instead of one ;)

Thanks for reminding all of us that that is an option. Cheers, Shane

[@skoffco]

@@GuitarAtWork No thanks need here, just referring to myself.

[@mermaid10x]

Amazing lynrd skinyrd and warren didn’t sue each other as this is the same chord progression as sweet home Alabama. Good thing they didn’t because a lot of rock music would have been affected.

[@ricka371]

Wonder how much coffee he drinks.

[@GuitarAtWork]

Just enough. Cheers, Shane

[@hotlov72]

Isn't Werewolves London basically just Sweet Home Alabama?

[@GuitarAtWork]

Same chords Neville - but....a much different riff. Cheers, Shane

[@Tim.R.McDonald]

I noticed the same thing as first, "Hey this sounds like Sweet Home Alabama ". The fills get added and the song came together ".

[@iplayalittleguitar]

I third that.

[@chesterproudfoot9864]

D-C-G or any variation thereof are the basis of thousands of songs.

Sweet Home Alabama?

Same three chords.

Too bad they let Kid Rock steal this melody.
