Rikki Don't Lose That Number Guitar Solo with Tab

Jeff Baxter's guitar solo from Rikki Don't Lose That Number with tab. The solo is played once at normal speed and again at slow speed. I got so many requests for this. Thank you all for being so patient. Long live the Skunk!

[@fueradeljuego]

Man, if only all tutorials were like this... no talking, only demonstrating and with tab. Bravo!

[@RockingAOTSwirled]

Agreed. I watched one the other day. The bloke sat there talking crap for nearly 5 minutes before even played a note.

[@Geetar48]

Totally agree - I don't need to be shown how to play guitar, I just want to save the time and hassle of trying to figure out how to play it myself, this tutorial saved me tons of time and it was succinct, accurate and to the point!

[@tomandaj1]

one of the most tender emotional rock solos ever played ... the resolution at the end is PERFECT.

[@rrrripbing]

Perfect lesson. Normal speed and slow is more than enough. Don't need the endless waffle that so many others indulge in when presenting a lesson.

[@BokkeBlue]

I agree with Tan. ("you put your index on the 12th blahblah"). And the Rammstein t-shirt is a nice touch to this delicate tune ;-)

[@gr8guitarplayer]

Oh my God!! Thank You!! If you need someone to tell you which fret/finger/string/note/etc, the lesson at hand is beyond you anyway. I've said it before: If you're capable of learning whatever solo is being taught, you don't need all that wasted instruction.

[@johnrowland2773]

yep, that's what that whole pause/rewind thing at the bottom is for.

[@jimfitzgerald6510]

Thanks. I am always amazed when I think about the player who sits down and has the skill and creativity to come up with this solo originally. Mind boggling.

[@MrDennislatimer]

You are welcome! I enjoy playing Jeff Baxter's stuff. Glad to hear so many appreciate his work.

[@Mooseboy08]

Very, very nice! I remember learning this solo when the song first came out, but not having any idea of what I was doing. I never got a chance to play it live, so it went away. It was only later than I figured out that Jeff was "playing over the changes", which was a foreign idea to me at the time the song was released. So it's time for me to learn it again, as I have it in a setlist coming up in another week. This tutorial was great, thanks!

[@adamkane9340]

The greatest solo of all time. It has EVERYTHING!

[@brianmcdermott281]

It really does, It’s quickly becoming my favorite

[@forresterconnor651]

This solo looks alot easier than it sounds. Really great phrasing and interesting rhythm towards the mid/end is the impressive part

[@HusaCreature]

Thanks, Dennis. An all-time favorite, might be the best guitar solo ever.

[@bane1240]

Agreed... Actually this song, My Old School, Reelin in the Years and Kid Charlemagne are probably all in the top 5-10 solo's of all time.

One of the best Peg - Jay Graydon Guitar Man - Dean Parks Help Me - Larry Carlton Midnight At The Oasis - Amos Garrett Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix Stairway to Heaven - Jimmy Page Child In Time - Ritchie Blackmore Sweet Home Alabama - Ed King Hotel California - Don Felder Sultans of Swing - Mark Knopfler Can’t You Hear Me Knocking - Mick Taylor Something - George Harrison There are many

[@Ston247]

Reeling in The Years - Elliot Randall

[@jabu003]

there is not a best guitar solo ever ..........but this one will probably be in my top list .

[@lqueso]

Many thanks, Dennis. I've been wanting to learn this since the 70's and I finally dood it!

[@115bobbobbob]

I forgot how great this solo was - thanks for putting this together. Time to jam:-)

[@josephliptak]

Man, that is the best, most accurate instructional solo on KZbin. Thank you, Skunk would be proud!!!

[@davestrong6119]

Great job Dennis! Had to cop this for a cover band gig tomorrow and you pulled my coat. The slow version lets you sing along to lock it in, and hear what not to play. I’m subscribed!

[@ugot2rollwithit]

Fantastic tutorial - perfect balance of detail and efficiency - all killer no filler! Thanks so much.

[@Choppalapk]

Brilliant.... thanks so much!

[@michaelhaller1762]

One of the best solos of all time Thanks for upload!

[@davidglabais4919]

Thanks so much for posting this Dennis it was very well done and much appreciated!

[@johngreenwood3540]

Luveeerrrly stuff. I've tried for years to play this but now I'll try again. many thanks.

[@MrSoittelija]

So very hard, but I enjoy practicing. Great solo and lesson, thanks Jeff and Dennis

[@countdown2xstacy]

DAN-TASTIC!!! Just listened to this for 20th straight time in a row....cant get enough. PERFECTO !!!

[@guitarvocs]

I just recently sat in with a band that does this tune, and I loved it so much I'm working it into my own set. I have the chords (and the weird little riff at the end of the verse!) but this solo is so iconic and so sweet I'm going to try to get it just right, as opposed to just close enough as I usually do. Thank you so much for posting.

[@gerdeywii]

Thank you for spending the time tabbing this out. I am going to dig right in. Chris

[@amdar1]

Best lesson style, I've seen.

[@cryptonet007]

Very nice vid! You have played and produced a superb tutorial on this great solo. Its all there, from top to bottom correctly. Thank you very much and the tone is perfect! Great job

[@robertbuilder8001]

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing Dennis 👍

[@jzf128]

A big thanks for Your effort. I could grasp the overal vibe of the solo but i needed some tweaking and thanks to Your excellent tutorial i can grasp the whole thing.

[@TKDunn-qq7kd]

Great transcription and well played. Thank you - this will save me a ton of time :)

[@millie2079]

It's the third and fourth fingers around 38 seconds that has me grinning in delight. Excellent rendition!

[@HeyPattiana]

That part is a true soulgasm!

[@richardwood6121]

Excellent tutorial, the best one I've found. Thank you!

[@sniffableandirresistble]

So good thank you

[@saleasylum]

Great video!

[@joeperry9814]

Awesome

[@marypetrie930]

Brilliant!

[@SyntagmaStation]

Fantastic video! Kevin, it took me a while to get that part down at 1:05, especially at the end. I think there's a couple of back to back pull-offs he's doing there before he hits the last note. The part at 1:42 is also really tough to get the timing, but again it's a couple of back to back pull-offs, or at least that is what finally worked for me!

[@jmack619]

47 seconds dammn! thank you from canada

[@junkjunk2493]

good work man thx
