Hey by Pixies | In-Depth Guitar Lesson

[@CreamJonson]

It's insane how excited I am. Tried to learn this a while ago but it just didn't sound right. I wish I had more friends who played guitar so I could tell them how INCREDIBLE this channel is.

[@CreamJonson]

Maybe I'll tell them anyway, what the heck.

[@cskueny]

That's what I do!

[@anabellamares1983]

thanks Cream Jonson!!

[@anabellamares1983]

is Cream a family name perhaps..

[@tommystrange]

the best thing about Adrian, is his constant love of actually 'simple' riffs......knows great song writing actually.....

[@ramonemiliogomezjorge8557]

the bassline on this song, shows you that simple things, can make really cool stuff

[@misterbuttersworth9904]

Pixies were so original and different than everything else out at that time! Awesome Tutorial

[@rolandboerhof9391]

They still are

[@AjDouble0]

@@rolandboerhof9391 yup lol

One of my favourites and my favourite from Doolittle.

[@danieli.9252]

That record is a banger, for sure.

[@adamdavis7557]

Just when I thought I couldn't like him more....he does this.

[@semajdis]

Finally the Mark Schnitzius tab can be retired after 25 years. Rest well, pioneer. You have served us all well. This video is ridiculously good.

[@PBRMuscle]

If I didn't know better I would think this was the actual album. You nailed the sound. Your videos are wonderful.

[@steamskynoise]

The attention to detail in this inc getting the tone of various guitar parts absolutely nailed on and then explaining how you did it is brilliant

[@capitaldharma]

I love this song. It’s a great choice and potential crowd pleaser!

[@station2station544]

Hey is an amazing track. The pixies caught lightning in a bottle in the Kim Deal era. GREAT playthru and lesson, Adrian.

[@wickedlee664]

“Kim Deal era”…….hahaha cute. As if….

[@station2station544]

@@wickedlee664 meaning the period when she was in the band. She brought a lot to the band.

[@scarystardust6095]

Amazing band up til '92. Couldn't be bothered with all that ca$h grab reunion shit a few years back.

[@sawdustcrypto3987]

This has to be the best guitar lesson for any song I've seen on the internet. Well done!

[@artcamp7]

just such a beautiful line. they made everything seem so effortless yet yearning at the same time

[@robertpreston5268]

Thanks, started to learn this a while ago but I couldn't get the rhythm of the picking right but this vid nails it. This and other tutorials of yours are so easy to follow. Thanks again.

[@thinlinejo5318]

Excellent choice ! 👍👍👍👍 I have been covering this song for about 25 years with my different bands Always with same pleasure...

[@jebkush1052]

Love this song. First solo I ever learned.

[@PeterKennedy3]

Great video. Thanks. I'm as obsessed with this song as Frank Black is with that horse. He plays his part on 7th fret later on in life.

[@shkibby1]

This is my favorite Pixies song! Thank you for making this

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Tidy, one of the best bands ever, brilliant breakdown 😎🎙🎸✅

[@Subfilth]

I always feel a great sense of relief when I search a song guide on youtube and your channel pops up. Always thorough and incredible attention to detail. Thanks a bunch for your service my man!

[@meadish]

Pixies have a special place in my heart. I never learned to play their songs properly though. No excuses anymore. Great lesson, as always.

[@jmenden111]

LOVE this song, love the whole album, definitely in my top 10 albums all time. Joey Santiago is an artist with noise.

[@AlexTapisevic]

The very first guitar tune I have ever played, not dominated or mastered that took me some years but, when I picked the guitar for the first time I said I want to play this shit and that was 20 years ago.

[@bristolfashion4421]

fab - this is *exactly* the sort of help I need to play the guitar these days - thanks ever so !!

[@shanrandall932]

Incredible the way you break it down. Love it. Great sound, great lesson. Classic song. There are so many good tidbits here with technique, effects, etc. Well done!

[@MKDvlad]

I can't for the life of me get the intro down. It's so simple yet I can't stop my head and hands around it.

[@commoneuropeanstarling]

Oh, mate!!!! Thanks!! One of the best riffs in history

[@karlm9302]

Super awesome news!! Unique channel I think there's no one out there like you with tutorials from such good bands. As a huge Pixies fan, could you please consider "Monkey Gone To Heaven" as well? I absolutely love that tune and your teaching would fit it perfectly!

[@adrianmoore8329]

One of my favorite songs of all time! I got very excited when I saw this pop up in my feed. Thanks for this great lesson Adrian :)

[@12038q]

I swear down every time I wanna learn a certain song this guy has it uploaded like 3 weeks ago lmao

[@Ozak42]

Dude, you get me every time.

[@SoulCitySawdog]

Perfect camera work: 01:19

[@glendearden5917]

I’d love some My Bloody Valentine lessons!

[@galenbeals3538]

Excellent video! F'ing love that song. I'm sure someone has already pointed this out but the Pixies nerd in me just won't let it go: Doolittle is the Pixies third album, not their second. :D

[@sean4586]

Great lesson. love the camera angle of the fretboard when demonstrating the song. I know you love your Fenders but that LP looks righteous when you hold it! Love your work.

[@codemaster1768]

I was looking for a tutorial on this. And this is the ideal one. Thanks!

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

your lessons are the best Adrian, thanks man! such a beautiful tune!

[@UnitedFeodor]

the best ever love song, imo

[@martymatrinez8384]

if anyone's videos are gonna get zero dislikes, its adrian's. nice lesson, man; great work, as always.

[@richfrommitch]

The best Pixies song.

[@goport]

This is going to be great!! Thank you!

[@kungstu22]

My fave Pixies tune. Thanks!

[@GregDixson]

Ahh I love Hey! May have to power through my damn lateral epicondylitis to learn it, even just the slinky bassline

[@martymatrinez8384]

if anyone's videos are gonna get zero dislikes, its adrian. nice lesson, man; great work, as always.

[@al271987]

You always get such great guitar tones for these videos.

[@martydurlam]

You have a telecaster. Would you consider doing a song by Dead Kennedy’s off their Frankenchrist record? Great vid btw!!!

[@acpg]

I'd certainly consider it. Can't promise anything, but I like the idea!

[@incredibledisc]

Capital idea. I vote for “A Growing Boy Needs His Lunch”

[@wickedlee664]

@@incredibledisc Chicken Farm is the dark ominous surf opus. I smuggled you the tabs in this gash I slashed in my thigh……..

[@dawngumban2961]

Easily the best pixies track.

[@katbert100]

pixies are great, thank you for the video!

[@sandem100]

This takes me back…..

[@tinpea]

Extremely accurate sounding, well done! and that whaling slide on the last note of the solo is killer!!! I'm still trying to make a worthy helix patch for the tele sections but I'm limited to a PRS CE24 coil split with stock humbuckers that just don't seem to be right for it. If anyone has a decent patch for it do let me know!! Thanks again, SUBSCRIBED

[@nelsonw2096]

You keep picking good ones!! Nice job.

[@marshallkohlhaas80]

Spot on! As usual

[@intothecountry74]

Brilliant choice

[@ST-xg3gy]

Always loved that intro!

[@jasonbrown1987]

Great track great album great choice great lesson great channel.. cool thanks Adrian

[@electrolinks]

Yes, nailed it.

[@GuilhermeJardim]

GREAT SONG!!!

[@tevamcgillis]

I like how your showing the gear u are using to get the sounds. Thx!

[@cousin__roman]

Great video Adrian. Would love to see some more Iggy Pop. Maybe neighbourhood threat?

[@gavintitley4440]

all these three are great people. Crypto class!

[@sagig72]

Great song, great video! good job man.

It's a beautiful song.

[@marcellofreirebrunocavalie4187]

Very good

[@RMatolicz]

You should get a Les Paul with a DiMarzio Super Distortion pickup on the Bridge, to make Joeys parts ring out more

[@AjDouble0]

Dang those unison bends lol I had been using and wondering why it flutters like that ha makes sense now

[@maggieo]

Pixies got so much out of so little. Totally parsimonious playing, but with a huge sound. Thanks for the lesson- like a lot of folks here, this a favorite of mine. PS: Every time I see your white Strat, it makes me think of Michael Karoli of Can. Hint, hint.

[@acpg]

Yes, I'm sure Michael Karoli was at the back of my mind when I decided I wanted a white Strat! Been toying with the idea of a Can lesson for a long time. It might happen. The difficulty is that their music is mostly all about the magical interaction between those 4 musicians rather than specific guitar parts. But I think there are a few tracks that might work as guitar lessons.

[@applehole448]

Could you show us how to play Helter Skelter by siouxsie and the banshees. I can't find anything about the guitaring anywhere online

[@newtrash4]

What kind of effects would you use to get Joey's sound on Monkey Gone to Heaven?

[@teleacousticplayer9386]

As always, I love your tututorials. I love your cats tails wagging in the background, as I sometimes use them as a Metronome :) This might be a bit out of character music wise, but would it be possible to show a tutorial on lead parts for Harper Valley PTA by Jeannie C. Riley? I"m not so worried about the sound, as I know its a dobro or something, as I may be able to get close with the katana amp and lead guitar. But I sincerely would appreciate it. Thank you :)

[@terrorbirds9835]

You are already amazing but it would be even more amazing if you touched on the songwriting a bit - you teased it here when you talked about if the chords started with the G or Bm. Maybe address why certain non diatonic chords might be in a song (just watched one of your Cramps lessons where I had to scratch my head over that for a while for example) etc. thanks 🙏

[@neurons0nfire]

Love that riff… weirdly makes my thumb a bit tired!

[@ricardomoreno1871]

More shoegaze tutorials 🙏🏽

[@sagig72]

Please make more videos on songs by the Pixies.

[@flaherty113]

YES!!!

[@Jacob-hv7jz]

why dont we use the regular d shape and hammer on with our pinky?

[@jacoblopez6075]

Next pixies should be “all I think about is now” !

Damn good ear!

[@meadish]

Yep. Great ear, great teacher. And a jolly good fellow.

[@sylvaind]

Great! Sounds just like it. Going forward can you mention the song key?

[@wsurfn]

Love. Me. Some. Pixies.

[@knobgoblin4486]

I was wondering why this wasn't your pick for the solo video

[@rolandboerhof9391]

Fuck the quite/loud dynamic. They hook you on 1 tone, like in Caribou. Strange that no one notices that

[@lamper2]

Request: Some Fantastic Place by Squeeze oh wait -you just did Squeeze... Good Thing by Paul Revere

[@justinkase8642]

Yes, some Paul Revere & the Raiders! I'd vote for Take A Look At Yourself, great guitar and bass.

[@cerclesvicieux]
