[@lucaconstantinescu6429]

Can you please teach Turn The Page by Metallica? It's such an underrated song...

[@thomashamilton914]

You’re the only person I’ve seen on KZbin do it how mick Ronson does higher up on the fretboard for that D thank you so much for doing this lesson

[@stratdoc]

Thomas Hamilton The easy way all day long! The key is that cocked wah tone! Carl's right though..

[@stratdoc]

Thomas Hamilton kzbin.info/aero/RD3qrOvBuWJ-c Oh yeah..last time through Mick confirms..

[@jips123]

exactly! Good work!

[@madhatter1789]

Look for the youtube vid of mick in hammersmith odeon: Mick bars at 7th with his first finger and does not play the 4th string (I think)!

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Yh I noticed this. I've always played open d on that. Which sounds fine , in my humble.....also makes the walk down way easier...but I'm no wizard.

[@symbolic1884]

Carl Can You Teach “All of My Love” By Led Zeppelin 🤘🏻🎸

[@pabloorganero3019]

Yes pls

[@RC32Smiths01]

The diversity of content of lessons on the channel always prevails and shows! This is the best Bowie song in my opinion!

[@johnhareiel5118]

I think this plus Heroes

[@fender1000100]

Mick Ronson is the most underrated guitarist EVER.

[@clemclemson9259]

LOL yea ok...... another UNDER RATED comment ...where the hell do you people come up with this

[@TheFishingTrucker]

Thanks for another great lesson.

[@theblackcat788]

could you do a lesson on "its so easy" by guns and roses??

[@jonathanphlek5252]

its so easy..

[@nhproductions1895]

Can you pls pls pls pls pls pls do hit the lights or dyers eve! Been waiting for them for a while now. I'm sure the others will be interested as well, when it comes to the pure thrashy nature of HTL and the challenging and pain inducing dyers eve!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevegardiner8473]

I'm no expert but, I think the A majors should perhaps be A minors. Thanks for the lesson.

[@omgitsasquirrel8574]

Hey Carl could you do 'Arriving somewhere but not here' by 'Porcupine Tree'? Much love from the Netherlands

[@yourfbiagent6483]

Great suggestion. I’d love to see any Porcupine Tree.

[@stratdoc]

Second time through Mick might play the B minor up at 7.. listen to the live movie version. Just fun to mix it up. He would grab a fill sometimes. Played this last night at a show and spent some time nailing the timing of "and the spiders from Mars" lyric while playing that line . It's out of synch and you just have to muscle memory it! Great lesson Carl. I forgot to turn off my "cocked wah" and was half way through the next song wondering why my tone sucked!!

[@darrenhirtle3142]

Excellent lesson Carl , if you could teach " I used to love her" with the solos by GNR that would be awesome. Keep up the good work

[@qu1ckns1lent42]

Man I love your videos. Just wanted to say you should do How Will I Laugh Tomorrow by Suicidal Tendencies

[@mollykeane2571]

Thanks, I was looking for someone who plays it like Ronson.

[@thomashamilton914]

Yes I’ve been listening to this so much lately and requesting this

[@AjaySpiderman2009]

thank you for the lesson these are amazing! (and free!)

[@ShaggyOtis]

Is it just the tone that’s producing the higher line on the riff? Sounds an octave higher on the record but in videos Ronson plays it just like you

[@ferpiopiogm]

Guys! Got a question here. Do you hear a dissonance in the first C chord it's played at the begining of the song? It's really annoying me. Cause i hear it and it's not caused by the distortion. Perhaps the guitar it's not perfectly tuned. Although I reckon there's some note no one teach in youtube videos. And I wonder if someone can solve the mistery. Cause personally I think that sound is where the magic of the riff lays.

[@carsonrodriguez9326]

I’ve always liked this song, but didn’t think about playing it until I read how big of an influence this album was on Randy Rhoads.

[@Weenor7820]

Can you please redo stairway cuz it’s such an old lesson and you don’t show us what we’re playing beforehand so it be nice for you to redo

[@Yoda-cm9of]

An other brilliantly done song. I've learned so much from this channel.

[@markrosenquist8259]

Yeah he’s one of my go to guys especially for electric guitar. I’ve learned so many songs it’s amazing!🤙

[@mattyc.9332]

Sweet. I never fully figured out the chords, so this is great...

[@johnsimmons6136]

I have been watching your channel for a while and love when you do classic rock. Most of the time I find that you point out something that I been doing differently for years where I could've been more accurate. Thank you very much, I really appreciate that you take the time to learn and document these songs accurately!!!

[@andjustjizzforall]

Damn Carl this is the lesson I've wanted. Thanks a lot mate

[@chipcavallo7287]

Thanks Carl. Classic song

[@JerryCherryBand]

Good work.

[@theconcerned]

the wah tip nails it. thanks again. \m/

[@homebrewznz3482]

Good lesson 👍

[@kychemclass5850]

The song dates from mid 1972. Glad you have the correct Dm at the 5th. I saw Ronson play it there, although the open D is a reasonable alternative ;) That C walkdown was kinda used in Boston's More than a Feeling ('76) and Status Quo's Whatever You Want ('79). It seems like there is a Cranberries Zombie inspiring playing there too. One notices there's a bit of Stairway ('71) in there too. Thanks Carl.

Thank you!

[@LuisEduardoBraschi]

There are many songs with this wah trick that I keep trying to figure out with octave fuzz and Marshall IR until someone tells me it's a wah.

[@shawcremeans1773]

great 👍

[@keithb5612]

Thanks for the lesson. Would you consider making a video lesson for "Prairie Rose" by Roxy Music?🎶🎵🎶

[@nepalibabu9049]

Please do Rainbow lessons. Temple of the king, Rainbow eyes , catch the rainbow...

[@Maggiethegsd]

Hey Carl could you please do a lesson on Take no prisoners by Megadeth? that would be awesome !!

[@nerrdinho]

Can you please do a lesson of Lady Jane by The Rolling Stones, the other few lessons on youtube aren’t exactly what I’m looking to learn! Would love to hear your arrangement of it.

[@jasonremy1627]

Thanks for the lesson. There's a lot of good ideas in here I'm going to use to improve my playing here. I think you missed a chord on the verse though. These a quick B major (I think) in the first half of the verse on the "spiders from Mars" bit where on beat 3.5 he hits B for two 8th notes, then hits C on beat 4.5 in passing before landing on the D for the next measure. It goes like ...Bm || C C | C C | r B | B C || D ... on the 8th notes (r is an 8th rest) I think. At least, that's how I've been playing that part.

[@7u7-w3w]

Hello Friend... I love your tutorials and they have helped me a lot to learn many songs ... Could you make a tutorial of the song "Only When You Leave- Spandau Ballet"??? I would really appreciate it

[@paulbaluch439]

Hi Carl I was fortunate enough to see Mick Ronson do that song live a few times back in the 70s and of course covered that song myself in bands out through my lifetime saying that I would like to say that you did a outstanding job on that lesson you could not ask for more you give a great guitar lesson thanks for all you do🎸🎼😊

[@stratdoc]

Paul baluch.Mick never played the same way in the few recordings I have seen. He was a "feel" type player. It so amazing that David fired the"spiders" after the sacrifice they made too get him over the top! The influence of his NY management no doubt. Maybe Nick took a little bit of spot light..? Either way you saw him without Bowie?

[@paulbaluch439]

I seen Mick play with Bowie back in 1973 and I agree he would play different each time you would see him somewhat. the biggest example I would give would be the way he did moonage daydream yes I agree that Bowie fired the guys it was unbelievable not really cool in my opinion the Ziggy album was the best and Aladdin sane was pretty cool after that I didn't really follow him that much Bowie definitely was for Bowie

[@jimszikk775]

Should it not rather be a cry baby than a wah?
