Hi Frank, I want to thank you for taking the time to say hi to me after the gig outside of the Orpheum in LA on Rogers Use it or Lose it tour in 2009. Ive never forgotten, what a top night, you are a gentlemen.

Fantastic look into the genius Pete Townsend has in composing songs that endure over time, never growing old or tiresome to hear. Pete has always been one of my all time favorite players! On a side note there's just something so majestic about the E chord in any song, it especially here in Pinball Wizard! Well done Frank Simes---thanks for sharing YOUR genius!!

Frank I met you after a Roger Daltrey show in Fort Myers, Florida and you signed my old hand built Fender Stratocaster. Thank you for doing that. I have played that guitar so much that the signature is gone. You did say keep on rocking and never give up, guess I took your advice. I'll probably end up warming up for some concert evening for you and the Who before I'm dead😂. I have been playing Pinball Wizard for 30 years and every video I watch I learn one more little detail to add or remove. I'm glad I found your channel. I also remember seeing you with Roger Daltrey again doing Tommy at Meadowbrook music hall in Rochester Hills, Michigan a few summers ago, great show. Thanks for the encouragement to keep at it and great new details of how Pete Townshend plays that song. Rock and Roll baby!!🎸

I saw The Who in a small venue in Sunderland - the Bay Hotel Whitburn but I was at the back and couldn't see what Townsend did so thanks for the demonstration - especially the strum pattern which I think is the hardest part. It was an amazing gig they were so tight and loud that in their famous split second pauses the silence hit your ears like a hammer.

Great job! I sas hoping you would have played the song through at the end. Maybe a more endepth chord chart 🤔 for us amateurs.
@phenixreturns2 ай бұрын
or you have special hand - neck but hard to the mute the A string with the thumb and also in the same time, we must play the E string (B note) we must play the little B string too and with an open E string lol So, it's quite impossible or very difficult or only a few strings sound but not all they should be So, the easy method is a to play a bar chord for the B sus 4 and B chord etc.

Sounds great! However- there are no tight shots of your left hand so would be hugely helpful to superimpose a tab in the bottom left. It's a little tough to figure out where your fingers are at any given time. Or ask one of your minions to do that...

It's 99% - there's an alternate double accent that he has missed for the msin strumming walk down....listen to the record. It's on a few other tutorials.
