Thick as a Brick, 3/4 speed play-a-long

[@charlieg1337]

Song never gets old...thanks doc

[@snoozedoctor]

I agree. One for the ages.

[@traceystern6592]

I’ve been trying to play this correctly for 40 year! Thank you for this.

[@snoozedoctor]

Glad it helps!

[@traceystern6592]

@@snoozedoctor it’all in his strumming hand, and changing up time signatures. Simple 70’s chords but he elevates them like no other. I have the song down now, thank you!

Imagine having to play this every night for 50 years.

[@justgivemethetruth]

I could dig it ... just being able to play guitar as well as Ian would make my day, or life. or 50 years.

Imagine playing this in your,bedroom for 50 years

Even at slower speed these arpeggios are REALLY difficult to get precisely in time. Ian is so automatic that he doesn't appear to have to think about it at all.

[@kasperjrgensen8274]

if I play this 3/4 speed track at 3/4 speed, I can almost keep up 😕

[@snoozedoctor]

It's a hard song! If I don't practice those arpeggios for a few weeks I struggle.

[@timculp]

One thing I've noticed about playing Ian's guitar parts is that having a 2 inch pinky is not a plus.🤨

[@snoozedoctor]

Haha. Yeah, he has a really precise pinkie, a digit Govan has described as "God's cruel joke", not that he has any problem with his pinkie, it would seem.
