Bad Company - Can't Get Enough - Rhythm Guitar Lesson (w/Tabs)

[@stratolestele7611]

Wow, 7 years ago and yet a typically timeless excellent lesson. I find your lessons to be the most accurate in every aspect. Lots of guys put up what I group in the 'cover band, bar gig, and the cheap and easiest to play cheat versions.' - It's amazing what bands get away with when playing to drunk patrons who can't tell the difference. Thanks as always for keeping me on the accurate track. Wife, friends, and strangers tell me that I'm an excellent guitar player, so I especially appreciated the corrections your lessons have given me. Accuracy is very important for me. If I can't play a tune accurately and play it confidently and well, then I'll skip it. Cheers from Texas!

[@frommetoyou4401]

@StratoLesTele I also share the concept of getting the details and being as accurate to the original recordings we are most familiar with, as that's what us players want to learn. That said, many of the YT "instructors" serve as a guide to get us going on learning at least the basics of the track, which is useful. Some of the "instructors" even say that they don't intend to do note-for-note lessons.

[@johanramakers9711]

This is the best standard tuning version on YT. For all you purists, if you're playing in a cover band, there is no way during a gig you have the time to re-tune your guitar every time you need to play a Keith Richards Open G, Open E or drop D classic or in this case an open C. Stop whining. Thanks Alex.

[@timpenfield5]

yes, but i still would like to know, are there 2 guitars playing in the original track, 1 in standard, 1 in keif tuning?

[@StompingRabbits]

The Bad Co original recording has the guitars tuned to open C.

[@StompingRabbits]

If you watch Bad Co. playing it live back in the 70's you see both guitars play the first C chord with neither player using their left hands. They both strum the first C chord without using their left hands. From this it is safe to deduce that both guitars are tuned to an open C chord.

[@richardgregory3644]

Or you have a guitar one guitar you leave in that tuning

[@mickweick3699]

@@StompingRabbits correct 100% But its not a standard open C tuning .. it's the same notes in a different configuration. I'll let u figure it out !

[@jeremyhoule9221]

Good lesson, Thank you!...For those of us who can play and just need a real quick lesson - Intro- 1:36 Verse- 3:25 Chorus- 8:37... Thanks Again!

[@bigsidable]

YOU ARE ONE HELL OF A GUITAR TEACHER.

[@MinezaFender]

Superb video lessons on all aspects of this great classic song, Alex. Fantastic! Thank you.

[@rbtguthrie]

Alternate open-tuning options notwithstanding, I think he did a terrific job capturing the original voicings with standard tuning. The Bb shape delivers a great sound.

[@stormman8393]

One of the best on you tube well done. All of your tutorials are first class

[@licksnkicks]

This is just awesome! Standard tuning is awesome! This is not really all that hard, even the solo doesn't looking too intimidating. I want my band to cover this song and thanks to you I will be able to do my part!

[@Jegiro]

Man that guitar has an awesome badass sound, you absolutely nail it in this lesson, great work!

[@clbdyc]

Best Can't get enough lesson out there.

[@StompingRabbits]

Vladimir plays it well and is nice enough to share but it's not as jangly as the Open C or Open G capo @ Fret 5 versions.

[@gregdemeterband]

Thank You and Best Wishes on Your Journey in Music... I took a whole lot out of this; hope to be blessed again with other Covers I intend on playing out...

[@rayross997]

WOW!, Alex, great lesson. You explained it so clear and simple. The tab is very helpful and your video is clear and of excellent quality. You have a great teaching style, thanks for the lesson and keep it coming.

VERY nice lesson, thank -you.

[@sparkie119]

Very well done.

[@yossire]

You are awesome !

[@cecea2630]

Amazing lesson thank you

[@MegaGuitarpicker]

Where do you get Guitar Rig? It looks like an app but I can't find it. I saw computer software for it but it is unavailable. Fantastic job with these lessons!

[@frommetoyou4401]

"They don't play it every time the same thing", that's definitely true, e.g. in live shows. Yet, the altered versions are recognizable enough that we know what song it is they are doing.

[@pauldendleguitar]

According to Mick Ralphs this song wasn't recorded in 'standard tunning', which is why trying to duplicate the dynamics is difficult to nail in standard tunning - so don't beat yourself up if it doesn't sound quite right.

[@tomyost3959]

Thanks mate

[@northtone288]

We play a lotta stones songs. I keep a second guitar in open g. It just sounds better. I suppose if this was the only song you played with the optional tuning i would agree.

[@misko1961]

the best!

[@doctortommy]

Very thorough thank you.

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Isn't it in an open tuning?

[@timpenfield5]

i have seen several covers of this song that are not in standard tuning

[@Shinewee]

good lesson easily explained

[@enriquejareno8628]

MUY BIEN, me ha gustado mucho, very well i like it.

[@scottbutterly8997]

WOW...... Fantastic..Thank you

[@simeskelin-croat6917]

Maybe you can show some song of Sekyra Peruna?

[@StompingRabbits]

Open G capo @ 5th fret gives a close aproximation of Open C used by the Bad Company!

[@licksnkicks]

Hey great lesson! Is there any standard tuned backing track for this song that you know of?

[@GuitarForceCom]

+licksnkicks Yes, that's what I was using in the lesson. You can find some backing tracks and this one here - www.guitarforce.com/backing-tracks/

[@licksnkicks]

+GuitarForce.com Hey thanks! Your the best! Just a great song!

[@overcome8628]

bob seger ..come to poppa solo PLEASE!!!

[@wild7279]

Just interested to know why you won't teach it in open C tuning ?. Since that is the way it was composed.

[@guitarman7597]

We weren't aware that you composed the song. Do you not know any other chords?

[@wild7279]

+Guitar Man no need to be such a bell end cause I'd then have to ask you do you not know any other tunings like even the one of the song you claim to know. .

[@wild7279]

a bit of research my so called learned friend would show you what key the song was composed in. Come on I thought you Germans were supposed to be methodical .

[@guitarman7597]

+wild 72 do you speeka da ingie?

[@cecea2630]

thank you

[@mcconvi]

The correct way to play this song is in an OPEN G TUNING w/ the pitch slightly raised. This info is straight from Mick Ralphs , by the way....

[@rum5812]

C, C, G, E, C, C, low-to-high--is the correct tuning

[@jerryjohnson5797]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bullittsandbullets1821]

Why everyone arguing about the tuning man. Chords are chords, geez. Even you can play Keith Richards in E and sound good. Chill people

[@The73275]

Nice

[@LarryMar]

Awh. C'mon. Be a man. Play it in that crazy C tuning! Afraid to break your neck? ;) Love the G5 settings recommendation!

[@stevenlornie1261]

nice video, just can't get that chorus. A bit more detail in what you're playing would be great. :)

[@ogrish76]

guitar rig had the best look, the best customization, and it sounded like sht compaed to Line 6 at the time lol.

[@deanburge8747]

the song sounds much better and is easier to play in open g ,capo at 5 which = open c.

[@valtercruz2947]

Muito bom , muito legal

[@hywel4605]

mick plays in a drop tunning

[@lfader]

G. Not. C.

[@thebeatlesbeat]

Hi this is a good cover but its not what Mick Ralphs plays on the song. He uses an open C tuning. which is C-C-G-C-E-C. This gives the true sound of Cant Get Enough

[@moyamontgomery1468]

Maybe not but if you were doing a gig with one guitar it's a real pain to retune on stage.

[@stricknine8623]

alex lowe If you WATCHED the video...He clearly says ORIGINAL tuning in open C..... Also you can mimick those open C sounds with the first inversion triads like he is showing in the video.

[@timpenfield5]

is there a second guitar on the original track in standard tuning with the c tuning?

[@StompingRabbits]

No, both guitars tuned to open C on the original recording!

[@skummtoons6686]

@@stricknine8623 some just don't pay attention.

[@StompingRabbits]

C-C-G-C-E-C !!!!! Gots to jangle or it ain't right!

[@mcconvi]

The song was originally done in Open G. Check any Mick Ralphs interview. But you chose to show beginners and those interested YOUR VERSION IN Standard Tuning. What a joke, man

[@geoffpatch8255]

I want to learn it in standard tuning. I don't have time to retune during a set, and this is more than good enough. Not everybody thinks like you.

[@charlesnwarren]

Too much talk. Just play it.

[@antoniosantorini9355]

Stop talking please

[@mcconvi]

Why would you waste everyone's time and NOT show the correct way tp play this song IN ITS OPEN TUNING fORMAT?!?!?

[@scottbutterly8997]

If you don't like ,Don't Watch ,,Have you put anything up ?

[@Guitarplayer724]

It's C tuning, and who cares, there's more than one way to play the song. I prefer the standard tuning. Also, if I'm not mistaken, it's in the description that it's not in open tuning.

[@Yu54m18]

Great lesson. Thank you
