Hey all, back again with another full album tutorial video. A companion video if you will, to my full album tutorial for Aerosmith' Toys in the Attic album, which I posted last month. That video was quite successful and there were numerous comments stating that I should tackle Rocks next, so here we are.
Now, just to be clear, these AREN'T full song tutorials. they're mainly focused on the main opening riff from each track, however I tend to keep going and cover a bit more just for fun, maybe the first verse and chorus. not getting into bridges, outros, fills and solos in these mini tutorials.
Hope you enjoy the vid and find it helpful in learning this fantastic album, just full of cool and raunchy classic Aerosmith riffs.
Cheers, Kelly

I was 15 years old. I made 40 dollars a month. I would buy a cheese pizza, a concert ticket, some smoke, and a album..... one month I of course bought this album. Definitely a great month. I had such a great time listening to this album with my headphones. I got my first guitar when I was 15 also. I'm 65 now. Oh what a joy to have been born in 59... Thank you sir for all your hard work and bringing us Joy.
What he said
1964 here and I envy the hell out of you.
Thanks Tony, my pleasure mate. It's been all classic Aerosmith all the time over the past few weeks round my house. Trying my best to get my 7 year old son into it. So far, no luck, haha.
@@ScottDaddyMac1964 here as well.
I did pretty much the same at same time, Worked at a minor league ballpark. Bought an album each week when i got paid. Was 15 as well when it came out. What a perfect time to be a teen!
Rocks is the greatest hard rock album of all time.
Hands down one of the best rock albums ever recorded. I became a huge Aerosmith fan in 1975 with Get Your Wings. I have worked out many guitar parts of this album, but there's a couple things that I definitely learned here, and that is a great thing! Nice job!
Get Your Wings is my favorite Aerosmith album
I was a professional musician in the late ‘70s and ‘80s in Boston. I got to meet Joe Perry in 1981. It was during the JPP years. He was in pretty bad shape but a very cool guy. Rocks in IMHO was a masterpiece. Great video!
Coincidentally, I too met Joe Perry in the early-80s during his Joe Perry Project days at the Stone Balloon in Newark, DE. Same experience....pretty bad shape, super nice guy, and played a killer set. Good times!!
Those first two JPP albums are exceptional.
The lyrics to "Conflict of interest" are almost futuristic, when you apply them to how divided
we are today with social media, cancel culture, etc:
Here i am, alone on the street, with hundreds of people who's eyes never meet...
You scream outrage, all i say is tame!
Make sure your interests don't conflict with mine...
Wow I can't believe you actually did this after someone asked for it when you did toys in the attic, your the best!!
That Back in the Saddle riff is sooooo funky and nasty. Love Rocks! IMHO this is the greatest American rock album until VH 1.
Agreed.
then VH II
@@mikerinaldi7170 Fair Warning!
Question for you: Joe Perry is sometimes thought as a blend of Page and Richards, but I think that’s more of his look. His riffs are really different than anyone else’s. Rocks and Toys sound completely different than any other rock albums. How do you define his style? Example: Back in the Saddle is such a weird riff but it works so well. Walk this Way in the verses is so funky and unusual too.
@@Dan-zq5wt -+- I AGREE with you man , to me joe is in a class by himself , and ya cant just say or define his licks as blues, mabey blues influenced , because they are, its the way he uses those scales, it wasnt till about 7 yrs ago i learned about drop an open tunnings , 40 years ago when i learned 3 chord blues the pentatonic and whatnot , i used to get so frustrated when i couldnt even get close to most of these songs, my first jam buddy would say thats in whatever different tunning an i didnt inquire to much about , i kept thinking i gotta learn to play in standard 440 first before i learn different tunnings, the capo is another thing i dont like at all , but i will do and use this drop tunning for sure , glad o found this guy , hr,s awesome. , i always had a hard time tunning by ear , i still do, an ear dr once told me my mid range is gone , i put my head right in the huge speakers so many times ,plus i did a lot of shooting without ear plugs , i turn 60 this month ,so ill be getting a complete intense physicall. dam i starrted rambling , sorry , peace out
EXCELLENT, Thank You

Was waiting for this, after your stellar run through of "Toys in the attic."
Gonna watch NOW!
Aerosmith masterpiece is right, it don't get any better than Rocks, now I gotta go crank up my amp and bust through these riffs, THANK YOU THAN YOU THANK YOU!
Cheers mate, have fun!
Absolutely love these "every riff" video tutorials. Please keep em coming. I think Back In The Saddle was the first Aerosmith song I heard back in the 70's and it was so badass!
THANK YOU! I purchased "Rocks" when in was released in 1976. I wore this album out. You have provided an invaluable resource and reference material here. Kudos and thanks for all your efforts!
A pleasure man! Had great fun learning it all.
The production on this record is fantastic and it still holds up well to this day. It was their last polished, coherent album for a decade.
"Rocks" was the first cassette I bought with my own money. It is still my favorite Aerosmith album.
Thanks for breaking these riffs down, sir! It makes me want to put the album on and play along from beginning to end. Please keep up this series with other albums you love. The Toys and Rocks breakdowns have both been excellent.
Rocks is definitely my favourite Aerosmith album, but I only know a few of the riffs on guitar. That's gonna change! Thanks for the tutorial!
Cheers Lauren, thanks for watching!
One of the best albums in rock history. One of the best videos on RUclips. We were fortunate to have certain guitarist that met certain vocalists in the 60’s through the 80’s. The 90’s were great also, but just do not have that effect that hits you right to your soul.
Awesome 🤘🏻 . As someone who makes videos as well I know how hard it is just to make one song, a video or even do a solo tutorial video . I can’t imagine The amount of time and effort that goes into making an entire album video lesson . Kudos to you sir . 🫡
Yes! My favorite as well. Thanks so much!
Great lessons! Thanks!
Fantastic , once again thank you so much.
No words -- Just a BIG THANK YOU !!!!
Ah….my favourite album! Great work

@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar I really did, you have got this stuff DOWN.
God, do i love 70's Joe Perry & Brad Whitford.
Did Brad play the solo in Home Tonight?
That solo is so raggedly beautiful, somehow.
Awesome thanx for video.
Right on Right on...Another great hard Rockin' video...Thank u Kelly...
Smashing!!! This and Toys..got my guitar homework for the foreseeable future. Gotta go Toys though as their best effort and a lot may be due to my intro to Aerosmith.. you never forget your first😮
Fantastic, can't wait to check out all your content!!!!
Thanks man! Get comfortable cause there's a lot, haha.
Nice
THANKS! GOOD LESSON!
A top 5 all time album for me. Bought it when it came out with yard mowing money lol. Thanks for your hard work im going to learn them all!!
To this day still my favorite album of all time - I’m and I bought it when it first came out.
Great video! You couldn't have picked a better band for these last two album breakdowns. Thanks. Just subscribed.
Hey Kelly you still have power!, hope all is well down east !! thanks for the lesson !!
I REALLY like this format!!
Thanks mate, as do I. The videos do really well for me, but they're a lot of work to make.
Thank You! Rocks, definitley My favforite too.
Can't wait for the GET YOUR WINGS every track!
Love it.
Great video. Really, thanks for taking the time to make this.
My pleasure mate!

Thank you for this!! Amazing
You're so welcome!
On Nobody’s Fault
Huge effort!!
Thank you for uploading this!
Very clear and concise lesson.👍🎸🎸🎵🎼🎶
Glad it was helpful!
Thank u, Thank u, Thank u! I was thinking about you today and was wondering if you would really do Rocks. And you did! I so appreciate you doing this tutorial.
Thanks so much! There were a LOT of things you taught here that have baffled me for decades.
Cheers mate, Good luck with it. Glad I could help.
Thanks! Oh man!!! This is great!!! One of my all time favorite albums and Aerosmith’s best. Love your guitar. I recently added a PRS Paul’s guitar to my collection and love it!
Your awesome Cathy! Thanks for that.
love the PRS Thats the one I want. Lefty of course. Zebra PUPS. Nobody's fault is my favorite.
It is an AMAZING album. I still simply love to listen to it and play some of it. I'm here to learn. Thanks!!! And Nobody's Fault is my favorite too. The beginning is the nastiest meanest there ever was ... SUCH PURE Rock and Roll! Love it!
Your not kidding the best album Aerosmith ever made! good video you are a very good teacher.
One of my favorite Aersomith albums Sick as a dog :)
This channel is the best. I’m having so much fun playing these tunes. I’m back!
I'm impressed! Most people don't know how to play these songs. I have been playing them for decades. I have enjoyed Joe Perry from his start. tells ya my age. thanks for this video. My first time watching your channel. I will be watching more.
Combination is a geat underrated song! Thank you for tutorial!
Great showing and lessons!!!!!! I am always amazed how Joe plays single notes (and quick) but they come off as power chords to me. ie Saddle. I happen to stop here for their albums.
Is Sick as a Dog being played with a Tele Custom (al la Keith?)
Thanks!
Being from Boston Metro West Aerosmith played EVERWHERE around the area. Even so much as coming to our after parties...for some good ol fashioned fun! What a time to be alive for Rock! 60s on!!! 🎸 ❤👍😎 What a Ride!👍
Steven Tallarico Yonkers n y Rosevelt high school Best friend in high school crazy Raymond Tabano and also one of Aerosmith’s first guitar player before Brad withford replaced him!
'Sick As A Dog' is one of my favorite songs ever. Just so damn good.
Love these album videos, great job!! "Rocks" one of the greatest albums ever recorded
Thanks mate! And 100 percent agree on your opinion of Rocks.
Thanks man! I think that I may have hit upon an original idea with these. Sometime not very easy to do on RUclips, haha. They take a lot of work, but so far the videos have done quite well for my channel. There'll definitely be more in the future.
THANK YOU SO MUCH….Wore out this LP…Now I’m playing it better!
This is my favorite Aerosmith album too. When it came out, I was in the Army in Germany and until the first Van Halen was released, I wore out this album. I taught myself how to play most of it but you gave me a some great advice. Love the video. Thanks.
I got this summer of 76 after Air Force basic training. I got to Ramstein air base Germany the following October. And heard the first Van Halen album September 1978 right before I left Germany.
I was a thirteen year old army brat in Zweibrucken Germany when I got this album and it's still my favorite Aerosmith album.
I figured out a lot of them in high school. 79 80. and somehow faked it pretty good. Im so glad I saw this! Thanks for the missing links
man im soooooo glad and thankfull i found you, you give really great lessons, I've loved these albums an could never figure them out , i never learned or liked open or drop tunnings . a couple jam buddys would mention about them , this song or that song, being drop or open whatever, i never went along or even tried to understand them better i figured I need to get a better grip on 440,, thank you sooo much , , i could ramble on an on an on probly a whole book about jamming , but so could a million other guys , thanks again and have a groovy rockin summer. kelly dean allen!!!!
This is quickly becoming my favorite Guitar Channel!
Thanks Darrell! Someday, I'll join the big boys of guitar RUclips, haha. We'll get there.
Don't worry about that. Just keep doing what you are doing.
One of my fav albums, great job, would love a video on the figuring out process, I struggle to figure out what is goin on when tryin to get a song down
I don’t even play guitar but I watched your whole tutorial because I’m fascinated by the guitar riffs on the greatest hard rock album ever made. Thanks for breaking it down!
Bravo!
Now your talkin....my favorite Aerosmith. Produced/engineered so well!
You sir, are a monster. There are plenty of comments; complimenting your technique, sound, knowledge and dedication. I now humbly add my comment to the mix. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Cheers mate and thanks!
1st person I`ve ever heard say nobodys fault was his fav Aero tune. Me too!
This album tutorial was great. Thanks so much. I, too, prefer Rocks over Toys, though both are wonderfully fun to play.
Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for the great content! You’re one of the few guitar players on RUclips who I’d like to sit down and have a beer with and chat music.
Very kind, thanks mate!
Hey Kelly, just wanted to drop a line. I cant thank you enough for posting this and all the lessons. . You really started a new guitar plateau for me at a time I really needed it. Following a few of Rocks songs, , Nobodys Fault, Rats, Lead, Combo, Saddle... 1-2 more... Then I went into Gilmore land and picked up a few of my fav chops. I write this fresh off a high of getting down your lessons on Young Lust, and Toys. Man I cant believe Im playing a Gilmore solo close enough... And these Aerosmith songs.. WHAT FUN! WHAT RIFFAGE! Ive learned about 25 songs in last few months... I really cant thank you enough for being there when I need this... make it to PDX OR, I'll buy ya lunch!
Love your lessons Kelly, thanks so much for sharing. Any advice for improving my rhythm and soloing techniques ?
Kicking A man! Love this LP. Strange as it may seem "Get the Lead Out" is my favorite Aerosmith song. But I'm fairly sure he's bending the D string third fret up to the forth fret, David Gilmour style, making the notes distinct. Thank you!
Thanks man. There are going to be a few (hopefully not many!) Inaccuracies here and there. I learn everything by ear and with a little help from live videos of the tracks on RUclips.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar You're a better guitar player than me, I've enjoyed learning from you. Thank you!
I agree, Kelly. Toys is a great album, but Rocks was by far my favorite.
with respect to the heaviness of this album..and especially Nobody's Fault. Tom Hamilton's pounding bass lines lend a lot to that overall kick ass sound.
Thanks for this. Invaluable. Your a good man Everyone contribute to tip jar
Thanks mate! Yes, tip jar below 👇 haha. No pressure.
Hate to get greedy but how bout the debut Aerosmith album tutorial? Might be the most guitar thick album of them all!!!
Love that video! Been working at it for a week or so. Your a great educator and you’ve got a solid ear. Thanks for all the good work. What about Led ZEP II for the next full album course?
Oh hell yes, I was 16, working in ABC's Wide World of Music record store, I knew this album was coming out, I was in charge of updating that godforsaken Phonlog, a giant binder of every album ever When this dropped, I bought it, took it home and threw it on my Technics table, with a Yamaha amp and Infinity speakers... .boy, those were the days!
Thanks for putting this together, Kelly. Good stuff!
NOBODYS FAULT!!! MY FAV TOO!
This was one of my first new albums I ever purchased. I was in Jr high. I bought the album in a head shop lol and rode home with it riding my 10 speed bike. A bit tricky. 😅
But honestly Get Your Wings is my fav Aerosmith album ever.
Summer of 1977 I was 16 and just got my license. My next door neighbor was 2 years older and always had weed and all the new albums. I heard this one for the first time and it blew me away! It was the heaviest music I had heard up until Van Halen 1. If only one had a time machine..LOL!
Watching this video really makes me realize how talented Joe Perry really is. It blows my mind. I would love to have been on the room while he was writing this stuff. Unbelievable. Thank you.😊
Easily their best album IMHO, especially side one. Better overall song quality than their earlier stuff, and no forced marketing like the latter stuff.
I was 16. Got my first loan co-signed so I could buy an Elektra LP copy and a new Peavey Classic 30. I botched my way through this entire LP, though I could nail "Sick as a Dog" pretty good for a 16-year old kid. I learned a lot by just playing with the record; one day I'm jamming and Dad's standing there. He said "How'd you learn to do that?" Wish RUclips was around then. LOVE playing to the thousands of really good backing tracks out there.
Well, I'm still learning at 63. btw, Subbed!!
