Randy Bachman Teaches Lookin' Out For #1

[@joandouglas9000]

This is such an amazing song! Just deep, lovely, fav since the 70’s. Thank you Randy for sharing your how-to’s!!!

[@korkenknopfus]

I just can’t believe I have watched a lesson from the author himself, telling us even what scales to use in the final solo. That was pure gold, thank you very much!

This one grabbed me the moment I heard it. Such a classy arrangement, and a wonderful song; a change of pace in a string of hard-rocking' classics. Thank you for the one-on-one, Randy.

Who to hear the original version from than Randy Bachman himself. Excellent.

some underrated composition and leads definitely came out of BTO. ln the 70s they were a staple in every record collection.

I remember seeing the Guess Who playing outside under a big tent at the CNE in Toronto. These Eyes was out and they also played their "new" song Laughing. It didn't cost anything except for our admission to the CNE grounds. What a memory.

[@OofusTwillip]

It's the haunting jazz chords.

[@MrPercussionPete]

Randy is such a fine musician. Lookin' Out is a true gem. I loved it in 1976, and I still love it. It's timeless beauty, this wonderful mixture of rock and jazz.

This prove's that you are not only looking out for # 1 but also helping others.

Thanks! Such a great song. Four wheel drive and Not fragile.......... Big part of me growing up. Mostly played on cheap recorders,C-60 tapes..... Fantastic! A million thanks for such great music...! Hold back the water is my personal favorite. It`s just as good now as it was then. ❤

[@Ndiaown]

Great song indeed. Still thrills me listening to it. Also a fantastic solo!

[@kpmitton]

Thanks Randy. So cool to teach us this. That is my favorite music shirt too. My daughters keep me supplied with cool shirts.

[@mbrownie22]

One of my favorite BTO songs, you guys could rock but also had some sophistication. Thanks

[@johnmaer]

Absolutely incredible video by an artist who is not selfish about sharing his composition and arrangement for what has to be a classic jazz oriented rock song from the 80's that I have tried to pick out the chords by ear and have wound up with an incredibly awkward chord voicing that makes for difficult playing. Mr. Bachman deserves kudos and commendation not only for a wonderfully innovative song for the era, but in taking the time to map this all out for us guitar player wannabe's. Thanks, Randy.

[@richieboy6825]

Thank you RANDY! I grew up in the 70's just 5 houses down the street from you on Sinclair & Hartford (in Winnipeg) Your brother Robbie was our paperboy! I have learned many songs from you and am very thankful you are so sharing! You are a LEGEND! Jeff

[@suncookrocks]

My older sister used to babysit him and Robbie when they were young. This was just after they released the first Guess Who album. The whole band was still in diapers back then and my sister would change their diapers in between sets and serve them Molson Golden Ale and Labatt's blue label and they would eat Poutine and club baby seals.

Randy Bachman is just a treasure. I could listen to him tell stories and explain music all day. Brilliant.

[@tomc4271]

@randybachmanoffcial the last time I enjoyed your music live was in the late '90s when you and Burton were out on tour with Joe Cocker as the Guess Who, before all the legal craziness occurred with that name. That still ranks as one of my all-time favorite shows. It was in my hometown of Grand Forks, only a couple hours south of your hometown. I grew up listening to 58 CKY and became a huge Canadian rock fan as a result. Keep bringing joy to music, Randy! You're one of the best.

[@thepepperlanders]

Thank you. Saw your band BTO back in the early 70's. What a great concert !!!

Mr. Randy I finally have enough of undun to do it at a campfire or small gig venue. I'm surprised at how many people who I didn't think were Guess Who fans or even BTO Fans, that know this song and LOVE IT KEEP EM COMING. 😁😎👍😆

[@markcorliss3059]

When I learned undun I combined your lesson with another utuber and manage a good version. I have big fat hands and normally play bass. If yer ever lookin for a bass player I'm yer guy. When I saw Ringo at Camp Pendelton it was probably the best concert I'd seen. Burton, Joe Walsh, Tim Schmidt, Todd Rungrun of course Ringo and his Son. After all these years Burton did American Women and it was like quality vinyl being played on an expensive turn table through killer speakers. That show was all the best of the music I grew up with. I believe Todd is Canadian as well. My Grandmother was born in Quebec and spoke French. I was disappointed when you left the Guess Who rt up until I heard Taken Care of Business. Your song writing skills are at the top of music I grew up with. I loved the Beatles and went to see Ringo. Then SUPRISE, American Women, Walsh did In the City off the Long Run and Timothy did my fav Eagles song. I Can't Tell You Why. I felt like Best concert ever. I was in a bike wreck a year ago and sustained a major head injury. I am not quite fully recovered, but my Taylor 314ce and U Tube has kept me alive and playin. Please forgive me for not using Mickey Baker Chords, I had a Book by him about 25yrs and found jazz a bit challenging because of my dumb bass player hands. I love the bass, but guitar has kept me from well 6months ago I considered taking my own life I was miserable. Utube and guitar changed that and now I'm coming out of my depression. Thank you Randy it's hard to believe I'm communicating with a true Rock Superstar. Keep em coming Brother With all due respect Mr. Marky

Rolling Stone used to be relevant in maybe the mid 70's. They have all the cache of CNN today. A once mighty and influential entity severely diminished and completely irrelevant. Randy Bachman doesn't need Rolling Stone.

[@Caperhere]

I had a BTO 8 track when I was a teenager. I got a player for Christmas, called a ‘ Loudmouth’ It was an early type of ghetto blaster, and had a mic for singing along. Sturdy as heck, weighed a ton. A big problem with 8 track players was you always had to shove a book of matches or other wedge under the cartridge, whether in a car, or home stereo. Not so with that Loudmouth. I loved lugging that thing around, listening to music at the beach, anywhere.

At 64, I'm just now learning guitar. But that doesn't mean I'm new to Jazz or even Jazz guitar. Very few Rock artists venture into jazz or even touch it, yet that's the main thing I admire about you and BTO. Songs like Blue Collar, Rock is my life, Welcome Home and this one have very strong jazz overtones. I would love to see you do a solo jazz album, so keep us posted. ROCK ON-!!!
