Won't Get Fooled Again (Lesson) - The Who

[@RollingStoneZzzzz]

Saw the Who a few times in 1976 one was a general admission against the stage! Wow! Pete with ALL his numbered Gibson Gold Tops...Paint By Numbers! He did!👍❤️😎

[@honeyblunt5150]

It's crazy how many different sounds this guitar does well.

[@DannyGatton94]

Yep, it’s a rock n roll machine!

[@sharkytwo]

One of the most powerfull rock songs ever made .One of my favorite one's.

[@jamesjames9275]

I sometimes argue it’s the greatest rock song. But I’ve made that argument about a lot of songs!

[@BilnBax]

For all of the years I have dissected this song and and compared its parts to other rock songs........This is the Greatest!!..................

[@fredconkling6448]

I concur!

[@RollingStoneZzzzz]

​@@jamesjames9275 Growing up during the British Rock Invasion James...I said the same thing! I saw the Beatles and Stones on the Ed Sullivan show Elvis and more in black and white 📺! Wow...What a ride!!😎👍❤️ Thanks!👍

[@jimr6971]

I've said before I will say it again I have learned more from your channel over the past couple years than I did playing for 30 years before! Thank You JJ!!! You are amazing!!!

[@roberteberhart1139]

The Who songs are my final frontier in guitar. Never could figure out the most popular of them on my own. Pete is a tricky guy.

[@astoker06]

We need a lesson on how Pete jumped off his speaker stack

[@NorthWriter]

OR DID THAT KNEE SLIDE IN THE 1970 VIDEO!

[@jreagle58]

That might be a bit hard jumping off your Fender Mustang amp in your bedroom!😉

[@harrykadaras9459]

Pete was the original hyper wild man...Windmills, jumps, scissor kicks, kicks of all types, cannon balls, slides...and of course smashing...= the most exciting guitar player ever and most prolific songwriter.......

[@francoisbegin6718]

your sound is pure gold...

[@AmpliFIRE]

I watch this regularly. Such a great job and a fun tune to play.

[@cpt.morgan5993]

I can't express how grateful I am for your lessons. I've learned tons from You, stuff I didn't know that exists. Greetings from Poland.

[@telecomex]

Frickin just like W O W man! Turn it up! Thanks for the lesson. Made my Week! This is Rock and Roll. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Best scream in Rock and Roll. (Jim Morrison was had a pretty good holler too!) Thanks man. This is just so excellent. Only wish i was 17 again. Vancouver BC Canada

[@mk00918]

that's a gorgeous Gretsch! good lesson too

[@kiely4561]

What a beautiful sounding guitar

[@moonie7622]

Honestly, this is my favorite song, period. Thanks James :)

[@genoclark5730]

Looks like I’m 3 years late posting this, but recently became obsessed with playing this song. So glad you had a lesson on it! Been following you since the PT days. You have helped to make me a better guitar player! I appreciate all you do!

[@12166971]

The best video on this song ! Thank you so much.

[@georgefranklin4402]

Excellent job. Agreed, one of the all-time greats...Awesome Black Falcon!!

[@golf4ubacknine768]

This a must for any aspiring guitar player ! Thanks James , as always great lesson 🎸

[@goldrock2]

you are the absolute best. Keep them coming!!!!

[@larrygeetar9309]

James James, that is impressive! Kudos to you. That's all one can say. You've nailed it all the way around.

[@TropicalFuzz]

Man! You're the BEST! LOVE YOU! I started to play guitar and learned the same way as you. All by ear. BLACK FALCON! MY DREAM GUITAR! All love from Brazil! Keep up the good work!

[@huskvarsm]

I have to agree you are a great teacher you make it easy for guys like me to sound pretty close to the original and that’s a great feeling I own a 100w marshall head 2/12 cab and my baby a 2010 Gibson les paul traditional which I have heavily upgraded and I could never get what I thought a good sound should be like until I tagged along with your lessons a suddenly tunes that I’ve loved since the 70s were coming from my hands and my guitar I can’t tell you how big a deal that moment was for me so I wanna say thankyou man you are the coolest.

[@WienerDogJonez]

You are an incredible player, and an incredible teacher. Love your videos.

[@funguy4utube]

JJ you nailed it ... classic power rock to the first degree !

[@rnarizona9686]

James, this is a great lesson, great tone on your guitar, and a really great song. I never realized how many great riffs and licks the song had until your breakdown of it. Happy Saint Pat's Day.

[@slippingjimmy2897]

Unbelievable!!! After playing one of the very best songs in history you're straight in "Ok......" I'd be doing cartwheels and screaming that I could play like that!

[@davefraser272]

I could tell you were having fun with this one, and then I burst out laughing when you held your guitar up to the camera! I love your taste, love your playing, love your profile pic and your humility. Thanks a ton!

[@budandbean1]

Thanks for the super lesson, you really know all the little nuances, makes it sound so good.

[@michaelgallagher3640]

Ha!! Looked like you were gonna break into the windmill in there.

[@michaelmastrangelo4665]

hey..i play the drums but I still love all your Who covers...u have Pete down to a tee!

[@brankoj62]

Great!!! Live version with Noel in Royal Albert so powerfull.

[@karathracey]

Love it!! Ive just gotten a really good backing track of the synth section so it will be interesting how I tie in the bits I learn from your video. Awesome work. I know, its 4 years later but I just love this song.

[@1111MJR]

Really is impossible to play without succumbing to the temptation to windmill. Even if you are sitting down.

[@MrBoobization]

You're such a beast! This is the best way to learn how to wield the Axe, a combination of watching and using your ear

[@josephcorcoran8714]

Great lesson and job playing. I love the Black Falcon!

[@WaterfordGiant]

Great music, great lesson. Some young ones needs to discover this one. Miss you dude.

[@fredricbolton3506]

Well done. My initial thought: 22 minutes??? Yep, and I watched every one. Very clearly explained. Thanks!

[@1Keef]

Epic mate! Thanks for the upload. Love the guitar by the way.

[@poptart4260]

J love the controlled windmills !!

[@rogerlittreal642]

That was awesome!!...... thanks for sharing!

[@NorthWriter]

I just learned a ton. This is great. Now I can't flippin' wait to get home from work and try it out.

[@lawrencesimon]

That's a lovely sounding guitar! 👍

[@rcoveyduc]

Epic performance of an epic rock song!

[@aknightwhosaysni2475]

I hit like as soon as you struck 1st chord, what a sound 👍👍

[@johnnyboo8243]

awesome! its all about the attitude townsend's playing for me :D

[@danielgirard3759]

You know I have been watching and learning since privatricker and I never cease to be amazed by your prowess. It is a sight to behold and learn. Keep up the good work!! Oh I forgot Happy Thanksgiving from north of the border!!

[@fredconkling6448]

You have been inspiring me for years with this tutorial … I finally created an account so I can tell you how much I appreciate you!!!

[@1GuitarHack]

Really nice sounding guitar and great playing.Have a Merry Christmas.Thanks Dave.

[@rubikscubeking8398]

This is THE best video on you tube. Amazing.

[@Slammintone]

Confirming something I suspected. With a Gretsch that has the mud switch, gotta go full forward with it engaging the muddiest position along with the bridge pickup into a bright overdriven amp. And the sound is THERE.

[@eckispassion573]

A Fat Compliment, man 👍👍👍 Picked up my guitar and play - worth to put my old LesP out of the case again! Rock‘n Roll greetings from Germany

[@KowboySantos]

solid! appreciate all your lessons. thank you!

[@nolenzvolenz9086]

You’ve got the feel , great stuff man .

[@drh2]

[@BarryPennock]

Beautiful sound on that guitar nice down to earth vid instruction

[@greensombrero3641]

[@yankeelawdog]

You hear, find and chord the nuances. Unbelievable.

[@fredconkling6448]

He RULES!

[@edwardprete]

Was just picking up on that

[@bobcorbin7545]

As relevant today as 1972. Maybe even more so. Thank you.

[@tpourciau]

This is a great lesson. You do great stuff man

[@JohnnyMacalvee-cf7et]

I don't even know if I commented here yet. But James you are a beast with the axe. I also learn more from you than any other. Hope you are back to full speed. Seems like it from your recent videos.

[@rnarizona9686]

I've had a lot of fun playing along with this. There is a lot of technique here, and I think that you picked the best way to teach this lesson. Thank you, thank you, and all the best to you. Have a Happy Easter!

[@derm212]

Amazing. This is the only true to Pete version I’ve ever seen. Kudos brother!

[@1111MJR]

Great Job! I sense you were really fighting the urge to do some windmilling there.

[@STRUMMERBOY1975]

That sounded Gr8! 🎯

[@randy4210]

You got it great job!!

[@alann5003]

That Gretsch sounds just like Pete's.

[@regularperson7540]

Very Impressive !!!

[@raypitt9350]

Sounds good.love The Who saw in DC a couple of years ago.

[@jamesjames9275]

I saw them on that tour. I was stunned by how great they were. It totally erased my terrible memories of the '89 tour. That was just an awful, awful tour.

[@carlherling1856]

Awesome dude!...

[@nicknewman7848]

Quality tutorial. Thanks man!

[@tonytrotter2708]

Nice guitar and lesson

[@brendanf1971]

I saw The Who Reunion Tour in 89. I was 17 and it was like Woodstock.

[@jamesjames9275]

I saw them on that tour. It was a lot of fun, but I saw them 25 years later and they just blew away the 1989 version of the band.

[@royothebuzz]

Top class lesson. Thanks

[@peterlund1851]

Well done!

[@LightningDogg]

I miss James James' videos. The guy was so laid back and he knew his stuff. The dude could play. Hope you're doing well sir.

[@lawrencemaxwell6536]

ditto jim r.... learned so much j j ...u r swingin !!!!!! tanx

[@FrontRowRock]

Every nuance of Pete's style you nail it. Better than his little brother Simon does. Get some air moving with the windmill and I would swear its Pete. I have a video I took of this from the front row zoomed on Pete's guitar. (Shameless channel plug). You play it pretty much just like in the video I shot. I keep learning from you. Great teach at the end too. For those who don't know this is likely the most difficult song to emulate by another player. JJ just f'n nails it! Great job!

[@tricorn1776]

Fuckin Greatest band ever. thanks Jim!

[@Cickstart]

you kick ass! simply said! thank you!

[@pascalfleury461]

Excellent.

[@n.s2353]
