Toys In The Attic - Aerosmith. Every Track / Every Riff. Full Album Guitar Lesson Tutorial.

[@whatarefriends4]

I like how you keep it moving along without too much excruciating detail

[@Dram1984]

I know right? Lots of KZbin teachers don’t seem to realize we’re watching a recording and can pause, rewind, skip, etc… they teach it like they would someone in the room.

[@vincentdeangelis2558]

First 4 Aerosmith albums are all Classics. So glad that father time gave me the opportunity to listen to these albums in my early teens, as they were released. They were young. I was younger and it was magic. I really appreciate your appreciation of these early Aerosmith albums. I don't think I bought another album after Rocks. Just not the same band, musically. They sort of took out the blues and the balls and replaced it with a mass appeal pop sound.

[@uncleremus5046]

@ Vincent Perfectly said Brother!!

[@bluzzjazz]

I was a senior in HS when it came out. The first two albums are classics and this one is awesome as well. These are the songs that I learned guitar from. I remember hearing Draw the Line and thinking what a lousy recording. I couldn't name one song on it.

[@R.and.R.]

Everything up to Done with Mirrors is awesome.

[@halseyknox]

I agree...the first 4 is the Aerosmith I was into and remember fondly. After Rocks I also changed gears from them.....

[@mookytc]

We wore those albums out throw in Draw the Line as well!

[@GINKBB]

This is an absolute GOLD MINE! This is a wonderful thing you have done. THANK YOU sir!!!

[@TheChef470]

The interplay between Joe,Brad and Tommy on those first 4 albums was orchestral......nothing else like it. They were magic.

[@ChicagoBeaver]

Probably one of my favorite albums of all time, and at one time I had 600 albums at one time. Definitely, Aerosmith's best album.

[@TheChef470]

I remember as a 12 year old stealing this album from my older brother,(who hardly ever listened to it) and going to sleep with it when I went to bed.....it was my lullaby. : )😴

[@perrysar5954]

You sir are a NATURAL BORN TEACHER...THANK YOU!

[@sirwinston2368]

V. nice. Been playing for 45 years and I appreciate the intermediate lesson. None of this... "put your first finger on the 2nd fret...."I'm 62. Wore out that vinyl record on my Mom & Dad's Sears Roebuck hi-fi stereo system!! I was 14 years old. Thank you. sw

[@georgehuerta1990]

To me this is the greatest album Aerosmith ever put together every single song on the album is great

[@scottparmenter5783]

I just faked no more no more in standard tuning. Would have never figured out that great open tuning. Thanks!

[@fatstratcatdaddyo]

Whenever I hear the opening riff of Adam's Apple with that flanged guitar, I peg the volume. Pure f'in rock & roll bliss.

[@Oldsaltydog2]

70's rock is king , terrific stuff

[@dougtull4594]

"Uncle Salty" is worth the price of admission.

[@Randy-ul5hy]

Having been born in 1961 I totally agree with your comment that this was the best version of Aerosmith..especially if you are a hard rock/metal music fan like me. Toys in the Attic and Rocks were the 2 albums that started me on my endless journey of heavy guitar/blues driven music.

[@Richard-1776]

Thank you for the great video -- Very cool. This was the first album I ever actually bought. I thought Aerosmith were the kings of cool back when I was a kid (aside from Dean Martin, of course). I must preface that by relegating my praise to only the FIRST FIVE albums because in the 80s, Aerosmith got a vasectomy, then they got full out neutered as they degenerated into limp-dicked "housewife rock." 80's Aerosmith made me ashamed to even say I ever liked them to begin with. The first four Aerosmith albums in particular made them the best American rock/ hard rock band. They were our Zeppelin, or Stones, because they were more like a hard rock version of the Stones. I forgot how much I loved them when I was a kid. I can play things on guitar, and a sometimes pretty well, if i apply myself, but i can NOT do it without people like you. I can't figure anything out on my own. GREAT video. Thanks.

[@Richard-1776]

You gave a good channel. You just appeared in my feed, i guess because i was searching for Seasons of Wither lessons. It weird how channels exsist, and they never show up in my searches. Yiur channel is new to me. Anyway, I'm sending a link to your channel to a cyber friend i met while gaming. He got me playing guitar again. He's a vintage Tele nut. He talked so much about the damned things , the next thing i knew, i was buying one myself, which was great because I'd have never played guitar again if not for him and that tele.

[@mikemurdoch2891]

I was 17 when this came out and after listening to it I decided to make music a part of my life and went on to learn guitar and still play in bands to this day Rock On!!!

[@cerclesvicieux]

Adam's Apple is the coolest lick. I reember when this album came out. Def my favorite Aerosmith album, at least of the classics. Thanks.

[@mez5590]

Very cool…I’ve wanted to know the Adams Apple riff for 50 years!

[@curtiswilson9640]

I wanted to say that I'm a big Rush fan and Kim Mitchell. Thank you for teaching In The World Of Giants and hope you'll teach more

[@monmixer]

Ahhh, no more no more, That song drove me nuts. I tried to learn it in the late 70's when this album came out but this one gave me fits so I gave up. I knew nothing about open tuning back then and the bands all wanted danceable toons. WE slipped in a few but it's hard to get booked if you don't play danceable. Was back then. I got into production heavily in the late 80's and and in the late 90's I was clear out of the band thing. I wasn't making a living playing my guitar but I was making a living running lights and mixing on a pro level. National acts at least once a week. I'm in my semi retirement years now and want to put together. I have a shit load of gear and even have my own pa and lighting rig for clubs / small street festivals. So I don't have to rent gear!!! That song is so easy now that I know what tuning it is in. Thanx

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Cheers mate! My pleasure.

[@ceb4382]

This is a great way to teach-an entire album of the riffs. It is great for a student to see an entire project like this. Appetite for Destruction would be a killer lesson. Blind Melon's self titled album is also a killer guitar album. Thank you, Sir!

[@R.and.R.]

The Blind Melon S/T is amazing!

[@rubicon-oh9km]

Soup is just as good as the first in my opinion.

[@R.and.R.]

@@rubicon-oh9km it’s definitely less jammy. I need to revisit it…

[@sauletto1]

The first album was great, but "Get Your Wings" got me all the way. I can listen to it on permanent loop forever ... So many incredible albums by many bands from that era, I'm hoping you do more of these... Stellar video, brother !!!

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

Do you know who performed the solos on "Train Kept A Rollin'?"

[@robpaxson4455]

@@MrJohnnyDistortionWagner and Hunter

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

@@robpaxson4455 👍🏼

[@johnegan4762]

Thank you for doing this. When you see how hard these songs rock it is hard not to imagine, pound for pound, Aerosmith outshined even the Beatles. Or at least matched them in terms of setting a gold standard.

[@BlpBud]

From a les paul guitar playin ‘78 graduate THANK YOU!

[@johnwatson3948]

This is really great - note the extreme precision of the songs and how different the style is from Rocks. The guitar parts were certainly played by the given band members in demos, but the actual tracks you hear on the album were done by studio musicians (except for most of the lead guitar bits that were played by Perry and Whitford). Recording Rocks, the band had the power of success and did most of the album themselves.

[@wilhelmrogue1]

Look at you KDA, movin up the ladder with 36K followers,,, congrats,,and gotta love Toys…

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks man! Growing slowly but surely. We'll hit that hundred thou yet!

[@tullyaussie]

i’m 62 & this was one of my first rock albums i played over & over!! Love it!! Did the same thing with “Rocks”!! I also play guitar & have the same guitar , a prs se version!! thanks for this!!❤❤ saw them in Chicago in 78 with AC DC & Foreigner!! Comiskey Park Jam!!!

[@johnklein4558]

Thank you Kelly ! I think you nailed “No More No More” always wanted to learn that one.

[@johnn2326]

Years ago I read an interview with Brad and he said that he had a hard time getting down Walk this Way correctly. Kudos to you Sir.

[@Bwiser63]

Toys In The Attic was the 1st 8 track album I ever bought in the start of my young life when I was 13 years old back in 1975 and Elton John’s Greatest Hits was the 2nd.

[@emmetwesley]

Aerosmith, Boston Garden, 1978...my first concert ever at 12 or 13 years old......WOW!

[@ghfdt368]

Thank you so much for doing these lessons in such detail and patience. I'm currently going through your YYZ lesson and im sorry to hear you have been having issues with copyright lately. I just wanted you to know I and thousands of other people really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and time with us.

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks mate, that means a lot.

[@robertsims6718]

Love your videos. My favorite Aerosmith song is "Kings and Queens"

[@IncendiaDivinus]

I will never get tired of hearing Kings and Queens.. definitely my favorite song by Aerosmith as well !! Good choice !!

[@scottblanch274]

Thank you for this. I really enjoy this album approach. I am looking forward to the approach for "Rocks!" We all appreciate the time you give in sharing your talent with us. Please keep it going.

[@tonychavez1733]

My wonderful childhood involved headphones and this album.

[@CatarineausArmory]

Listened for years and I like the history lessons that you bring to the mix.

[@nathancl2k]

This is a great video concept! Love it and really appreciate how much time and work must have gone into making this.

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks! Lots of work obviously, haha. Gotta learn all this stuff, then break it all down in my head so I can teach it. Then make 8 separate tutorials.

[@tricorn1776]

Man this LP and Get your Wings were my life! some ways still are.

[@IZ7IZ7]

I would love some Motörhead tutorials I feel like there aren’t any good ones on KZbin. Would love a sweet revenge from the bomber album tutorial

[@jodymills3138]

One of my favorite albums of all time. One great song after another. Nice job on teaching these fantastic riffs!!!

[@martinscholes2023]

Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧. That was spot-on, mate. I’m a lifelong Aerosmith fan and had no idea how beautiful No More No More was written and played. That whole album is class, except the last track 😅

[@trinityflow]

Great classic album with tasty guitars. Nice job breaking it down.

[@gill.5116]

Man love the teaching method where was this back in 75 when I was wearing out my vinyls and slowing them down

[@daviddigital6887]

I just discovered your video. This was probably my favorite album of all time. I think I wore it out back in Jr high and high school during the late seventies ! In my opinion it's one of the best albums of all time.

[@if6turnedouttobe9]

What a great video on the first album I ever bought when I was 11 yrs. old...Rocks next please...

[@Docsjeff]

My senior year in H.S. was 78.I wore this 8 track out before every football game I played that year.

[@robertcoggin3366]

This is a great video. I'm not real happy that you didn't make it about 45 years ago, my life would be a lot different now

[@rcatawampus]

Such a good concept. I hope you continue with more albums and artists. You give a great lesson and we get to see the contrasting styles of the artists (Brad and Joe) AND how their parts worked together. Very well done. New subscriber!

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks Richard! Yeah, I think I'm onto a video concept here that nobody else is doing. It's a lot of work, and I could easily just release 8 or 9 separate tutorials, but I like this format as it's rather unique.

[@bluzzjazz]

I was a senior in HS when it came out. The first two albums are classics and this one is awesome as well. These are the songs that I learned guitar from. I remember hearing Draw the Line and thinking what a lousy recording. I couldn't name one song on it.

[@iancurrie3763]

I totally agree. Draw the Line was heartbreaking in terms of it sounding like a reverberant mess

[@mookytc]

Rocks would be a fine choice for a similar lesson down the road. Thanks for this gem.

[@mygirlzrock652]

Damn - this was a nice surprise to stumble upon tonight! Thanks!!! This was one of the three albums that charted my path to playing guitar and every lifestyle thing that goes along with that inspiration. I love how you gave the play-by-play for each song with no tangential distractions … great job! Appreciate your time spent on this - kudos amigo!

[@JerryTheVeganRockstar]

Awesome. Thank you. I played a bunch of these in the 70s but forgot how to play them. Although there was no KZbin to tell me the actual way to play the songs

[@earlross7704]

You are the best teacher I have seen on KZbin by far. I give you a 20 out of 10

[@dougvolinski5824]

Thanks again Kelly. I really appreciate your teaching style

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

You are so welcome!

[@dantwomey4215]

Nice! That Toys/Rocks one two combo was probably the most solid since perhaps the Fab Four.

[@rebelrocker113]

Awesome lessons with no bull ,,,My favorite Aerosmith Era 🎸

[@billwarkentin3630]

Great tutorial, Kelly!! Such great riffs!! Thank-you!

[@guitarkyle]

Awesome man! I love this album. There's nothing like blasting it in the car stereo on a warm summer day. I can't wait to grab my guitar and dive into this lesson. I probably couldn't play the solo's anyway so just doing the riffs is great for me. Thank you!

[@markbaum9615]

Stuck at work..... Looking forward to tackling this project on the best Aerosmith LP.....thanks Kelly ...appreciated

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks Mark, and good luck with it.

ahhhh the best Aerosmith era in my opinion :)

[@HanValen]

[@shm_nashville]

Thanks!

[@thebluesrockers]

Would love to see you talk about Frank Marino. He's a great player that's been over looked for years. Johnny Winter spoke very highly of him. His version of "All Along The Watchtower" was completely mind blowing. There's a few live versions on You Tube. They're definitely worth checking out for those who don't know who I'm talking about. I'm sure Kelly, knows all about "Mahogany Rush" Great lesson, Kelly. I hope things are going good for you and your loved ones. Peace.. Joe

[@IncendiaDivinus]

Oh man !! This is a gold mine !! Thank you sir !!

[@jamiemartin8853]

awesome, funny that you're doing this,,, back in the day when I learned to play guitar, piano and what knot I always learned the whole album because it was a pain to always restart the song! well done sir, keep up on older albums..

Another awesome video! I played all this stuff but never correctly. I’m gonna get every single riff down. I’m definitely sharing this one ❤

[@stevecosta]

Like it! Do Rocks plz

[@modernrelic6592]

Hey Kelly, Great job. One thing I'd like to add, and it actually took me years to finally realize this, is that on the outro of Walk this Way where the riff repeats over and over as Joe is soloing actually changes. The first time it happens the notes played in the riff are E, G, G#, E. And then plays the standard riff of A, B flat, B and E. And then it alternates throughout the end this way. I would always play along with the song but something always struck me as not quite right at the end. It took me forever but I finally figured it out. It's just that that riff is so ingrained that you don't expect it to change like that. Give it a listen and see what you think.

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks mate! Yep, I'll check that out for sure.

[@modernrelic6592]

Yeah let me know if you hear that as well. It drove me nuts for years!

[@aerosnout]

Awesome ! Thanks for posting!

[@Randy-ul5hy]

These entire album tutorials are fantastic...especially these classic 70's ones! Question: on the opening of No More No More, is there an acoustic guitar layering underneath? I always thought I could hear one. Cheers!
