I was one of the engineers doing the Gin Blossoms work in their iconic days, but a full on metalhead/hardcore punk who figured I would hate this band, but they are some of the most awesome people in the world and AMAZING musicians, like mindblowing multi instrumentalists, but even more, just all around good guys who go way out of their way to help people and make positive life changes in others. So glad to see someone showing their songs here. In the Valley of the Sun, the scene's fanbase often lovingly refers to the whole scene as "the dead hot swafford blossoms", if you are covering the song in the bar, you will hear the audience sing along in the chorus, "Hey Jesse!" Which is even more fun if its Jesse Valenzuela playing that night.

That’s awesome mate, thanks for sharing! Very cool 🤘😊

[@ronmorey3475]

Great song and great band. Used to see them all the time in bars locally here in AZ. RIP Doug Hopkins. Always one of my fav writers and guitar players. Thanks for this! Your lessons are superb.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks Ron!

@@ronmorey3475 The last time I drove by there, it was a vacant dirt lot. All those experiences and memories...razed to the ground.

[@ronmorey3475]

Very sad to hear that. It was a one-of-a-kind place. Lots of great memories for so many people though. Good times!

[@drewmack1709]

Have to say love your commitment to the 90s heyday of tunes. Keep them coming!

[@speedy7834]

Such a good song. One of the best

[@christhayil8354]

Reviving a forgotten jem! I love the 90's and miss it greatly....not just because I was young and free, but because we had really great rock, alternative, grunge, etc. As a musician myself, I would not like being a young teen/20 something nowdays or for the last 10 years where rap and pop is heavily promoted from music media.....gotta have rock for me!

[@howardd9979]

that's the coolest guitar I've seen in awhile.....

[@gregknight1920]

My band is covering this song and the first place I came to learn it was this channel (come for the Pearl Jam, stay for all the goods!). Sadly it wasn’t here so I had to go elsewhere. Glad it’s here one week later so I can ensure it’s done right!! Love the content!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Awesome you’re welcome mate!

[@daviddonaldson5908]

Great lesson, thanks for doing this one. Hadn't heard it in ages then it popped up on a playlist at the weekend. Always meant to learn it so no excuses now!

[@AimingWanderously]

Bravo! I was surprised at the lack of solo tabs for this song a few years back so I ended up teaching it to myself out of necessity. I play it a touch different than you do here, but it's great to see someone finally have a tutorial on not just the simple chords but the whole thing from the octave melodies to the rythms to the solo. Nicely done!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks mate!

[@EmanuelBardanis]

Excellent breakdown of the various parts, and I appreciate the tab - thanks!

[@rafemaxwell4143]

Another pretty forgotten but fantastic and unique 90's band. Always comin in with the excellent cover selections over here 👍👍

Cheers Rafe!

Brilliant track, reminds me of being young....I think that I was a teenager when this came out....🤔 now I feel really old. Thanks Matt 👍

[@LetsPlayAll]

You're welcome mate! Great tune!

[@trevorwarner1322]

Cool guitar.

[@MrNeilltupman]

What a song! We have it our Red Mosquito setlist, and we recorded it for our demo about 4 years ago. Think I play it roughly the same, but there's a lot to cover with just the one guitar 😉 This was timely as just off to RM rehearsal now, we have a gig Saturday and this opens set 1 😎 Great video mate, and kudos for giving TGB some love. There's a few on Congratulations... I'm Sorry which would make a good lesson, Follow You Down springs to mind.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Nice! Have a great gig mate!

[@noseconeprophets]

Nice Novo!!

[@impressiveprogressive7343]

The Gin Blossoms was one those quintessential 90s rock band with that 90 ingredient and groove that still no other bands since the 90s has been able to capture, RIP Doug Hopkins. If you are trying to sound like the 90's not a bad thing at all check out "Alex Sucks" these guys are really really close. My pro-tip is, the 90s was grungy AF, it was everywhere just remember to add your attitude to your music along with your issues and a slightly out of tune guitar. Do not let "perfect" be the enemy of "good".

[@jamlemon]

First heard this only a few years ago when Marc Agnessi played it in a Norman’s demo. Never heard it before despite being a 90s kid so was pretty good finding new old music!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Always good to find new old music!

[@jamlemon]

@@LetsPlayAll yep, there’s probably people watching this vid and discovering the song for the first time.

[@johnhk4]

Great solo break down. The double stops make this a standout radio rock solo and other YT vids don’t do as well to explain it! Thanks!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks John!

[@jgltd]

Hello, I am an absolute fan of your channel! I love it especially when you show new pedals in the context of some band of our time! I particularly loved the sound of the pedal you showed here, being able to make those distorted chords and make them sound clear, I wanted to ask you with which pedal, more "recognized", could I get a similar sound? I'm from Chile and I doubt I can get that pedal here! Cheers

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks mate! You just need an overdrive pedal for this one, so anything that has a decent eq will get you there! I’m not sure what you’d have available in Chile tbh - hope that helps!

[@douglasvaughn9349]

Keep the great content coming mate! Do you use individual pedals mostly or do you have a helix etc? What’s your take on them ? Multi fx

[@LetsPlayAll]

thanks mate! individual pedals mostly, haven't tried the helix but modelling has come a long way, i mean Jerry and Mike have used Line 6 stuff for years, i think they both have MM4s in their current live rigs, i know Jerry defo does so i'm sure they're decent!

[@williamlayton1827]

Met my wife when this song was a hit good times that summer.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Good times indeed!

[@scogg837]

Man I love that guitar so much...looks awesome! Did you have it built to your spec or did you find it second hand somewhere?

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks man! Had it built to my specs! Had to sell some stuff but it was well worth it tbh 😀🤘
