Here's An Uncle Tony's Quick Tutorial of how to play “Up The Junction” by Squeeze, with music by Glenn Tilbrook and lyrics by Chris Difford. I try to keep these tutorials as brief as they can possibly be. Remember: you should strive to have almost no tension in your wrists and hands when you are playing, keeping the rhythm is more important than playing the "right" notes, and down / up picking is the key to the universe! Have fun! 😎🤘🍔🍟🎸

[@jxbusic]

Thank you for posting. Your #1 golden rule on avoiding tension was really interesting too. That is definitely something I need to work on. Best wishes from Australia.

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it! Playing without tension is the key; and you can do it. It’s a matter of habit & discipline. 😎

[@SingleMalt77005]

Thanks for this. I am bummed that your tutorial for In the Court of the Crimson King got blocked!!!

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Thank you, and I am quite bummed, as well. I worked on it for three months! I will see if they unblock it ( that happened once before). If not, I will upload it without the full song play-through, as that’s what the bot objected to...

[@FOGHORN515]

Great lesson, Tony. Thank you.

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@wordsmithington8270]

What is the skill level required for this song ? Would it be good for my first song ?

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

Any song can be something you work towards learning. That having been said, this song contains some barre chords that might be challenging to a beginner. Search KZbin and you’ll find there are many lessons for first timers. Good luck, keep playing, and have fun!
