How to play The Riverboat Song by Ocean Colour Scene

[@SophieBurrell]

I like the way you say "draught", very nice. Hahaha, can't wait to show everyone our tracks!! Great lesson as always, tone is outrageous. 🖤🎸

[@SpedSpedding]

Look at you swooping in early mate. ❤️ Thank you, I’m super excited as well. So excited that I just ripped my window handle off. Will text you now. 😂😂😂😂

[@chrisjude8794]

You guys 👍👍👍👍😁

[@JonnyReturns]

Love this song. I actually was introduced to these guys from you when you did that Spotify list a few years back. Thanks for the lesson.

[@SpedSpedding]

My pleasure Johnny! I wish I'd have kept that up however I think I overdid the track listing. Probably be better to just do 3/5 a month rather than an anthology. Hahaha

[@mikeg2939]

I liked the ambience of the lighting on the wall and how it creates a cerebral, halo like glow around your head and shoulders drawing the viewer into believing that enlightenment is being imparted and, therefore, demanding their attention while also giving credence to the words being spoken without you having to detract from your typical mono-tonal and laid back delivery. I also liked the special button on the guitar. That was cool.

[@SpedSpedding]

That’s actually a window behind me; you’re looking at a sunset over the ocean. Must be mistaken about my mono tonal delivery. I once quantised my speaking voice and examined all the notes: I am an orchestra of wisdom.

[@mikeg2939]

@@SpedSpedding ok, well, at least I was right about the special button.

[@StuartSidneyGuitarist]

Great Video Mate! 🎸

[@chrisjude8794]

The only thing I can see that has changed since those early days is You used to think you were king 🤴 But now we know you are king 🤴🤘😁😁😎 Great tutorial as always Can’t wait to hear the new original material 💯

[@SpedSpedding]

Received a letter from the Palace this morning reminding me that I am the king. How did I forget?

[@megadave1197]

I feel old now as o was older but cool video! Tomorrow my Casino arrives and this will be riff number one to learn properly

[@jeffstonr9792]

Love the humour 😂

[@SpedSpedding]

It’s a good job really because I’m a full-time comedian, part-time musician. 😂😂

[@linziwinter5439]

And how many times did I hear this song booming from your bedroom 😂😂😂. Love the memories xxx

[@SpedSpedding]

😂😂😂😂 it’s all true. All worth it though as I paid for your dinner Saturday.

[@linziwinter5439]

Absolutely 😂just waiting for my villa now in the sun 🤣🤣xxx

[@md1trk]

Is it possible to get an official Sped Spedding mug with the words "Make sure it's cheeky" written on it?

[@SpedSpedding]

I mean I could whip that up in ten seconds for you all. I reckon I might only sell the one though, to you! 😂 Maybe 2, one for me as well.

[@michaelogden5093]

OK... I just found your channel. I'm intrigued... slightly. After a long day at work, I don't want to think to hard but a little is OK. Good lesson. Subscribed.

[@SpedSpedding]

Welcome aboard! Glad you liked the lesson, let's take that slightly intrigued and upgrade it to obsessed!

[@michaelogden5093]

@@SpedSpedding Good one.

[@pamelaarmstrong3612]

You are so funny. Omg. Thanks for the entertainment with the lesson.

[@rvanstar]

The drummers also amazing on this

[@SpedSpedding]

Yeah that constant groove throughout is hypnotic and driving at the same time. 🙌🏻🥺

[@practicerepobarrie]

Wow, playing a that tune like that on a spanish acoustic, well wasn't that a little cheeky thing to do. That's when your parents knew you had grown a big set of balls. Talk about going for it. - now look where you are today. That would have made Slash proud. We all have to start somewhere, great job Sped.

[@SpedSpedding]

Cheeky is my middle name mate. 😂😂 It was a bit of fun, I remember asking if I could play it by myself. No fear when I was 10. 🔥

[@practicerepobarrie]

@@SpedSpedding Both my parents were British Sped. So when my brothers or I got busted for doing something wrong and we started talking back to one of parents - we got asked "are you being fly, checky arse" *translation* are you being a smart-ass. Depending on which parent, it meant your close to getting either the slipper or the belt. Those were the days. We knew the word "cheeky" all to well growing up. That's why I commented, in remembering

[@kingcontraryman7850]

Ocean Colour Scene what a blast! How do you say blast? The proper way hopefully 😁Being an ardent viewer of Ms. Burrell’s work too , I am very excited to hear what is to come🤘🎸

[@SpedSpedding]

I say blast like b-LAST. That's really cool man, nice that you watch and support us both. We're really excited. I've been tracking some guitars at home today.

[@charliezimmerman2114]

Love the cheeky little bend. Haha! Looking forward to the original tunes. Maybe some time you could you could teach a UFO tume. Cheers Mate

[@SpedSpedding]

Thanks Charlie! Might be able to go one better than that… 😏

[@Jhossack11]

Yes - bring those skillz-abundant originals out!

[@SpedSpedding]

Haha will do. Working hard on it Jim!

[@cullenhill3292]

Love it!!!🤘🤘In the future I would love to see a lesson on Royal Orleans by Zeppelin, one of my favorites from the Presence album

[@SpedSpedding]

Cheers Cullen, glad you liked the video!

[@craiggamble1083]

Are the original tracks you mentioned out yet? If so, Drop us a link, mate. Would love to hear em. 😊 👍

[@johnnyboo8243]

good call the Spedanator!! That takes me back :)

[@SpedSpedding]

I know right. 🛶🤯

[@StealthParrot]

Believe it or not the very first song I learned was Stairway To Heaven. Played it with a pick, painfully slow, and quite badly. Looking forward to hearing some of the new tracks!

[@SpedSpedding]

Wow, not the easiest place to start! 😂 How’s it sounding now in comparison? 💪🏻😏

[@leemartin2978]

I think there’s a great many people looking forward to hearing these new tracks ….👍

Thanks Lee! Myself included. 🙌🏻😂🍿

I have a lot of love for this comment. ❤️🤘🏻

[@davedavid7061]

do you not use AC where you are at? I would burst into flames without it here

[@SpedSpedding]

AC is not a thing in British homes. Offices is a different story. For the most part we don’t need it at all. So when it gets hot it’s a case of windows and fans. 😂

[@davedavid7061]

@@SpedSpedding gotcha

[@martinlewis1015]

Why are there so many different versions of playing this song on KZbin but not the version I was taught by my guitar tutor. The riff should drop a string and slide up neck. Yours was closest I found on youtube. ( he had a perfect ear)

[@SpedSpedding]

Did I not slide up myself?

[@martinlewis1015]

@@SpedSpedding no you dropped down to lower string after first part of riff you drop to lower string when it's better to slide up neck

The best on the toobs

Thank you Mike! That's really cool.
