How Long/Ace (tutorial) - cover by Tonedr

[@martyrdanielson]

I'm 11 years late to this party, but I appreciate the heck out of this lesson. A couple of things that might get overlooked are strumming and the subtle hammer-ons with the middle and ring fingers on those m7 chords -- some hidden gems in there for us as we become better players. Thanks Doc!

[@tonedr]

Thanks so much for checking this out..greatly appreciated!

[@josephsacher1048]

Confusing tabs left me looking for a better option on KZbin and lo and behold, there's ToneDr with the goods. So another thank you nearly a decade after the original posting. Always enjoy your videos, performances, and posts onTGP (and the old Collings forum, back in the day). Best, Joe

One of my all time favorite songs!! Somehow I was just thinking about it today, decided I have to learn to play it, and by sheer miracle, there you are ToneDr!!!! Gonna pick up my Taylor tomorrow and spend a Covid Saturday learning this awesome song. One of the more complicated songs (chord-wise) that no one seems plays. Except you and a very few others. Your lesson is GREAT. Can’t wait to learn it. VERY cool chords. Thanks!!!!!

[@PsyJaye]

My Lord, it has been a while since I have had your fine company...as usual you are a great teacher - I wanted to kick it up a half but it does work well until I get to the lead - gotten sloppy in my old age but gonna play it right - puts a trip on a 4 string bass though - Paul Carrack's newest studio version os sweet - guitarist i funny but uses field hollars"" to answer Paul's vocals after the break - really nice - Peace

[@dougjacobson8135]

nice job keeping the Bb over the Ab.... I was hearing B half diminished not Bbm7 for that passing chord.... whadya think?

[@tonedr]

hey Doug...hope all is good sir! Thanks for checking this out...i think your right - i should have said B not Bb if i said that on the vid (sorry) because your right it's moving from the Bb up to the Cm7 - i hate misspeaking on tutorials - thanks for pointing this out. keep pickin' - your friend,dale

[@sadierumpet]

Another Great lesson. Thank you. Suggestion: The Lexington Lab Band should cover Rosanna by Toto. You guys would rock it. Regards.

[@tonedr]

Toto...we've talked about it a lot and i think we just have to get around to it! What 5 tunes would you pick?

[@sadierumpet]

Asia - Heat of the Moment The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again Stampeders - Sweet City Woman Dan Fogelberg - Part of the Plan Chicago - Dialogue

[@chulaivet]

Howdy Dale.... Working on this one as we speak. At 75 I should know this one already! Thanks amigo....and hope all is well with you/family orbit. Later....

You're awesome, doctor. I always love your work. Do you play for a living? If not, what do you do full time?

[@tonedr]

Thanks so much for checking this out..greatly appreciated! I am a special ed teacher

[@minder4u1]

you are a great teacher, my only issue is that you should just stay with one set of chord progression patterns as it spoils the flow when you show other ( open positions)

[@tonedr]

thanks for checking this out

[@carlosgaldamez1850]

cool dude

[@tonedr]

Thanks so much for checking this out..greatly appreciated!

[@mvp019]

charlysstore thanks for checking this out - greatly appreciated!

[@1980tele]

Are you the Lexington lab band guitarist?

[@tonedr]

yes, great thanks for checking this out!

[@ahackbutitry]

you have some beautiful guitars. What's your amp setup?

[@tonedr]

hello Scott...really appreciate you getting in touch and thanks for sharing music! I play through two amps - a Princeton and a Headstrong Lil King. The Princeton is an early 60's with 1x10 - the Headstrong is a Princeton clone and it has a 1x12. I pull it more for HB guitars but like it with single coil as well. I wish you all the best with your music, your friend, dale.

[@sashavalentina7739]

I literally hate asking this every time I find a guitar tutorial that I'm a huge fan of, but do you have a layout of the tabs?

[@tonedr]

I'm very sorry I do not...thanks for checking this out!

[@scottybee33]

Awesome rhythm lesson within a lesson. Thank you so much. You helped me on a bunch of songs. Are u really an MD ?

[@tonedr]

such a great tune isn't it! appreciate the kind post and thanks for checking out the vid - no, just a self-given SM name:) your friend, dale.

[@scottybee33]

OMG, I just saw one of ur Lab Band videos, and you mentioned Wilcut's.... How freaking funny, I live in Danville. Do you guys still play clubs in Lex ?

[@RickDanner]

[@tonedr]

[@lesterjenkins7304]

great job again.... requsting show Big Log by Robert Plant..

[@tonedr]

hello Lester...really appreciate you checking this out and i'll sure consider the request!all the best,dale

[@lesterjenkins7304]

Thank you. I used to play in the late 80s and recently about 5 months ago got dedicated to playing again. I really like your straight forward approach. It has already helped me tons. Im slowly knocking the rust off and truly enjoying playing again. Keep up the great teaching.

[@kimjasso9953]

Such an underrated song. Love Paul Carrack's voice. Whenever I here How Long I think of Clapton. Saw Clapton in 78 after Slowhand came out. His backup band was Ace. We were walking to our seats when Ace was playing and we all just stopped in our tracks. So good! We saw Clapton again, I think in 80, and he had Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters with him. Muddy Waters comes out and starts playing and introduces Johnny Winter, they continue playing and then Muddy Waters introduces Eric Clapton as his son. Well of course the crowd goes wild. I love watching you play because the music that you play brings back so many great memories. Thank you so much. Discovered this tonight. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGGVn6uGedqqi5I

[@tonedr]

totally agree - Cararack's voice is gold!

[@da64sifuentes]

This one and Tin Man are my two favs...trapped in time man, trapped in time. Which model eg is that bud??

[@tonedr]

i'm right there with you...i think i'm frozen in time somewhere around 1979 best i can tell! It's a Fender built by Dale Wilson.

[@da64sifuentes]

[@JVegaTrio]

+tonedr Thanks for the info. Again, you have a great sound, man! :)

[@robwilliford2898]

Great stuff Tonedr on a classic by Ace! Now working on Eric Clapton's lead intro on kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqbQkIWCiq-tr80. The chord rendition in his intro is exactly as you describe in your 3:08 to 3:58.
