The Waiting (Lesson) - Tom Petty

[@roncarter2188]

You can definitely hear the influence of the Byrds in this song, especially the opening guitar riff.

[@bonannop]

So happy you are back on your feet and instructing the masses. The best by far on KZbin. Thank you for making me a better guitar player.

JJ, this could actually be one of your best lessons, although there are so many great ones. Love that guitar too....

That thing sounds like a beast , cool tune thanks.

[@miketurso1667]

Nice job as always JJ. Petty said he walked around with that riff for weeks before coming up with the lyric.

[@aoodjean]

You are the best guitar player!!

[@zedteio]

Congratulations for sharing. I would recommend on the bridge, substitute the Bsus2 for A/B (leave only the bar finger) \m/

[@joshuabecker6875]

Really awesome james ! You are the guitar heroe ! \m/

[@paulmoore7768]

Man your the coolest.

[@dswcnn]

Just out of curiosity, any reason why you don’t have a Rickenbacker in your guitar collection? I love that Gretsch, though, as I own an old 6120 myself.

[@richzuker9295]

There's a pretty serious price difference between a Gretsch and a Rickenbacker.

[@mikebaum5976]

Thanks.

[@robtoc]

YAY! Petty Rules! Thanks JJ!

[@MrDoneboy]

James, is that a 1970 "Cuda model, next to the red amp?

[@michaelwelty1141]

[@bonhamhouse1169]

Looking forward to the game!

Hey JJ you like doing lessons and covers on old songs so maybe you know what this song is. Was watching the Cleveland Show the other day and they played this old rock riff and I can't remember what it is and it's driving me crazy. Here's a link to the video on here, the riff is between :34-:49 seconds. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mafcaqptjpamo9U

[@jamesjames9275]

Sounds a bit like the intro to Ah Leah, but I think it’s just generic soundtrack music.

[@dickdastardly2560]

@@jamesjames9275 THAT'S IT!!!!! THANK YOU. Man that was driving me crazy I must have played that sound bit 100 times trying to figure it out...lol. Again Thanks keep the videos coming they're great! It's korny song but that opening riff is pretty cool, it's by Donnie Iris who was part of Wild Cherry.

[@dickdastardly2560]

@@jamesjames9275 just found a video of you playing that song on your old # 5 LP.
