Lionel Richie - Hello - Guitar Lesson (Solo) - with Tabs!

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hi everyone! Thank you to @drummartijn for noticing that my tabs for Section 6 include one wrong note. In the first box of that section, I tabbed the last octave as 7 on D and 11 on B. The 11 on B should actually be 10 on B. My apologies for missing that, and thanks again to drummartijn for calling it out! 👍

Awesome lesson. When I was a kid I asked my Berklee graduate guitar teacher to teach me this back in the early 80`s just after this song came out. I still remember how to play it. 😁 Of course, you nailed another lesson perfectly. 👏👍

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Hey John, thanks very much bro. I had not heard this solo in so many years when I decided to learn it recently. I totally forgot how cool it was :)

[@HanValen]

Agree 100% - Great Guitar is great no matter what style of music. You're playing is next level!

[@hughsnow830]

This a a great Yacht Rock solo. Another favorite from Lionel is the solo to Dancing On The Ceiling. The solo & bridge are the highlights of that song.

[@Charvel1980]

I like when you play different stuff like this.

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks bro! It's not to branch out once in a while :)

[@lordmaster7343]

Thank you so much for thinking about the advanced players. I have been playing for 45 years (I'm 62). Some (most) of the lessons on KZbin are, "put your first finger on the 2nd string, 3rd fret, put your 3rd finger...." Drives me up the wall!!! Run it thru on slo-mo (like you did) and I'll usually pick it up in 5 minutes. Thanks again. Oh, one of these days I want to learn "I Want You Back"... another amazing guitar piece by Louie.

[@leemason666]

Love this. This is a solo that my mum will appreciate haha

[@TheGuitarFretZone]

[@brokenchains]

Sounds great, I played a cover of this years ago, such a classic song, awesome lesson

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks BC, I hope all is well! :)

Hi there, I am so happy that I found on the internet. You are a brilliant teacher. I am 70,years old and I am having problems playing riffs etc fast, any advice please. Also is there any way that you could do a tutorial on a song called Smootching by Mark Knopfler. Thanks a lot and take care. Greg.

[@weejim48]

Cheers, this is brilliant and a great help. I was watching Louie Shelton play this last weekend and my misses said “ can you play that ?”. My response was NO. But because of this video I have got the first half nailed. Just the octave bit to learn now. 🇬🇧👍

[@johnmcmahonBXLA]

Great lesson PDX! I could see you doing Steve Lukather on your next departure video. More EVH please ❤️

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks John! Lukather rules for sure! :)

[@jakebee6218]

Beautiful. Very soulful!

[@michaelcameron2292]

[@jamesmalia4522]

Man, you are so wonderful and appreciated! Thank you!

[@EarthAltar]

Nice! You think this guy was a Wes Montgomery fan or what?

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Those octaves for sure :)

[@EarthAltar]

@@PDXguitarfreak Yep!

[@bobubastardbbqandmetal9908]

Sounds amazing..I love this shit

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Right on, me too bro :)

The small laughter at the end be like "Now your turn suckers!" I am kidding of course, thanks for the tutorial. That made my day. :)

[@moogdome2562]

Thank you so much. Love the song and what a great teacher.

[@McNair-eo8ee]

Can’t wait to learn this!

[@PedroLopezBeanEater]

You rock, man

[@turdfurguson4451]

Cant wait for the Antosocial solo! Should be a great lesson!

[@ta2160]

I saw Lionel’s concert a few weeks ago. He started with “Hello”. This solo was moving. So I want to master this tune.

[@alcoustic5297]

🤘 fantastic

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Thanks Al! :)

[@tinletrung8762]

Very exciting tutorial. Thank you

[@fab.silva1119]

George Benson is next, right? LOL (half-kidding) I think you're absolutely right... good guitar is good guitar no matter the song or genre.

[@lsjperera]

Many thanks for informative breakdown of solo

[@heitorfelipecardosodasilva1723]

Muito lindo o solo desta música!! Como a música em si ❤

[@drummartijn]

Thank you so much for this great lesson, I’m learning the solo right now! One tiny thing: on 11.49 pinky on 10, not 11, right?

[@susanerskine3220]

Awesome😁

[@alexanderalmeda438]

Thanks a lot you are the best.

[@doquangtan]

Nhớ năm 1998 lần đầu tiên được nghe bài hello

[@manoontanaragsa1593]

ขอบคุณ ครับ

[@caseylm100]

learning stuff like this is how u up ur game from the usal heavy rock jams. he may have made it up but he olayed it the same and new it cold. the phrasing like this has to be more planned for pop songs. i think of touch of grey. a great solo JG butchered live all the time even though that song is more popish then jam rock

[@SillyGoose2024]

Wow. This choice is eyebrow raising. I like it. I think(?) this channel also did the solo of Donna summer hot stuff which is an awesome solo.

[@Rowvango]

Pearl jam - alive, megadeth - symphony of destruction, lionel richie - hello solo

[@LAZY_PHILOMATH]

Hello. The chord changes would be cool for us lazy fooks

[@keepingup2952]

That song about Lionel taking advantage of a blind girl? That whole thing gives me bad Bill Cosby vibes!

[@drummartijn]

Thank you so much for this great lesson, I’m learning the solo right now! One tiny thing: on 11.49 pinky on 10, not 11, right?

[@PDXguitarfreak]

You are absolutely right. I played it right but tabbed/explained it wrong. Thanks for calling that out!
