How to Play "Everything Zen" by Bush | Guitar Lesson

[@gtrriffs]

Thanks for reminding me of this great band. Just listening to "Letting the cables sleep" now. Great video.👏

[@LetsPlayAll]

Nice!

[@kkrsnn5632]

Yeah I listened to Science of things and Golden state last week, they still got it

[@gasaddict]

Going to see them tomorrow so I thought I'd learn a few Bush songs. Always appreciated!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Enjoy the show mate!

[@jaimethomas8064]

One of the great openers of 90s rock albums!

[@dwlindley2110]

So many great songs from my youth belong to this band. Would love to see a lesson of “distant voices” such a great underrated song in their catalog.

[@xxasahig6412]

I was just listening to this today, awesome timing! Thanks!

[@LetsPlayAll]

You’re welcome!

[@prowlers]

Great Song from a great album.

[@kerryfromaj9032]

Another great lesson Matt. To me this sounds like some nice soothing rock to enjoy learning. Definitely helps clear my head.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Good to hear Kerry! Enjoy!

[@waynepatton689]

Love that tone!!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Cheers Wayne!

Every good boy and girl deserves a little _Zen_ in their lives 🤘🤘

[@LetsPlayAll]

Oh yes mate!

[@CharlieFader]

It's funny how Gavin's part during the solo, is actually the Machinehead riff, played 1 and 1/2 step higher. We also want Nigel's parts :) Thanks!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Cheers Charlie will do! 😀🤘

[@07foxmulder]

Shows the originality and range Bush had.

[@CharlieFader]

@@07foxmulder big deal, it’s just the background guitar under the slide solo. I just found it interesting.

[@Christian.simon08]

best band to come out of the u.k in the grunge era in the early 90's

[@LetsPlayAll]

I can’t think of any other bands from the UK that were in that post-grunge era, mad to think Bush were cracking on with that to a backdrop of the rise of Brit pop in the UK

[@danelectr]

Love it!

[@scaids7137]

PLEASE Do machinehead and the tone for that song.

[@digio2008]

Great lesson 👍 Could you do some more Bush lessons please?

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks man and yes more planned soon!

[@digio2008]

[@VanWhyDesigns]

Really like your videos but sorry I'm super disappointed you didn't show the lead slide guitar part. Was hoping to learn that bit

[@LetsPlayAll]

Fear not Chris, i'll sort those in another vid :-)

[@Ellz66]

What guitar is that?

[@LetsPlayAll]

It's a Suhr - more info here :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/apfPo2uAjd6jptE

[@ffkirch]

The single p90 is a Suhr?

[@smldvs]

So cool song :)

[@tootory9506]

there's so much more to it

[@cooltunesmadeeasy]

What amp is it you using for your vids?

[@LetsPlayAll]

Victory V40 😊🤘

[@emrahu1327]

Pure Grunge.

[@LetsPlayAll]

😀🤘

[@07foxmulder]

Post grunge* Watered down Seattle sound.

[@AimingWanderously]

Awful lotta lyric discussion in these comments. If you analyze grunge lyrics you have too much time on your hands that should be spent learning the guitar parts. :)

[@LetsPlayAll]

Haha I need to check out the lyrics for this one, must admit I’m terrible at remembering lyrics 😂

[@AimingWanderously]

@@LetsPlayAll I definitely wasn't saying this to you, but merely an observation of many of the other comments here. Thank you for your great videos!

[@dlm425]

Gavin teaches it better

[@LetsPlayAll]

I’d hope so 😂

[@brian4055]

Nice tone but the lyrics in this song are just terrible. 🤮

[@07foxmulder]

Oh my god for sure. The whole Elvis tangent...what that hell was that about lol

[@CharlieFader]

@@07foxmulder there are a lot of references of other songs, poems etc in this song. You just have to dig a little deeper. There are a lot of weird lyrics in grunge songs.

[@brian4055]

That find my asshole brother crap at the beginning just makes me cringe immediately. Yeah the Elvis nonsense is horrible too.

[@CharlieFader]

​@@brian4055 the whole song is about being bored and disappointed by the English music scene at the time, in contrast to American music and arts in general. So, there are a lot of references of American and some English bands/artists in there. For example Gavin used names of songs and poems that he likes in the song: Tom Waits (Raindogs) and Ginsberg (Howl). He also used to love David Bowie growing up and in the song Life On Mars there's the line: "Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow, Lennon's on sale again." So, he changed (John) Lennon to Dave (Bowie). Also, the “there is no sex in your violence” line is a about how American music looked more appealing/sexy to him and also a bit of a reference to a Jane's Addiction line "Sex is violent" in the song “Ted, Just Admit It…”

[@CharlieFader]

also, the line about Elvis being alive, is probably also another reference to American music, and that he believes in it, just like there are people believing that Elvis didn't die. I think it works great in this song.
