Sex Pistols- God Save the Queen Lesson

I had a lesson for this on Vanderbilly, but since that is no more, I re-shot a newer version. Some things I've learned since I posted the original.

Quite a lot of "lessons" on KZbin aren't as in depth as yours buddy and for a beginner this is gold, Thanks

[@woodfireguitar]

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

As a relative newbie, i find your tutorial very informative and interesting. Many thanks.

Nice video Richard. Your original magazine solo is correct. Check out the Live@Winterland 1978 video, clearly shows Steve playing it the way you thought. He's obviously adapted his style over the years as we all do.

Thanks for dong all the hard work. I've been trying to learn this using a tab book, but while much of it sounds right, there are bits I wasn't sure about. Also, I couldn't get the guitar solo sounding like it should using the tabs. Cheers!

Thanks, this is real good.

Thanks for a really great lesson, lots of detail and killer tone. Surprised there are not more views and likes, so here are a few more 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

Thank you. It's a super fun tune that was more complex than I thought.

Jones changed the way he played the solo quite a lot! One can never find the "definitive" tutorial. I guess most people want something that sounds like the solo from NMTB.

Thank u so mutch

Thanks

Nailed it

[@robank3900]

Anyone know the exact magazine /issue he refers to?

[@michealgillman7418]

Think Steve changed it depending how pissed he was...what a man!

[@Itelkner]

I hear a bit of reverb in there. How high?

Can you do holidays in the sun

That bit at 10.10 was not unlike Johnny Thunders at the time, who liked chuck berry and Keith ect, the pistols came after the new york dolls and that bit sounds similar to a Johnny thunders bit in edit: pirate love from johnny thunders and the heart breakers

What pedals do you use for the tone??

[@woodfireguitar]

The amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with a touch of dirt on the O/D channel, and then I added a Boss SD-1 in front of it.

@@woodfireguitar thank youuu!!

о рад и урок как играть

You should show your right hand too. Good tutorial anyway.

[@woodfireguitar]

Thanks for checking it out. I weighed the options of zoomed out to catch both hands, or close up on my fretting hand. I figured I'd be able to show more detail zoomed in and add the picking hand to show oddities on the fretting hand as they come. Without moving to a multi camera set up.

[@Victormene]

@@woodfireguitar learning this right now, thanks a lot... Did you also do a Driver 8 tutorial too? I remember the Vanderbelly site mentioned in that one

[@Victormene]

@@woodfireguitar the reason I asked you to show your right hand is because I've seen some tuturials for this song where in the comments they criticize the way the teacher is strumming. They say downstrokes should be prominent.

[@Victormene]

@@woodfireguitar I'm having a hard time picking up what strings you strum in the solo.

[@woodfireguitar]

@@Victormene No, I only did a lesson on REM's "Drive", but someone else did a Driver 8 lesson on VB
