You might be right! I also think Draw The Line is criminally underrated. Kings and Queens, Critical Mass, I Wanna Know Why and Sight For Sore Eyes are some great songs.
@@johnnorth6004 Absolutely! As a teenager I remember playing the Three Mile Smile riff. Also, Think About It has a fantastic solo guitar riff opening which I bet a lot of people aren't familiar with. Mostly known as a hard rock band, I always thought Steven Tyler didn't get the credit he deserved for his ballads (not Dream On of course and I'm not particularly fond of Angel). This album's last track, Mia, is really nice, as well as the last track of other albums: Home Tonight and You See Me Crying.
Thanks mate! Yeah, I try to not baby step it. I'm not aiming at beginners, but rather intermediate players, or even advanced players who want to learn a particular song.
That’s one of the first songs I ever taught myself how to play. Way back when that album was current. Long before the days of youtube. I had been playing for about 6 months to a year, I think. Back then if you wanted to learn something, you were on your own. Unless you had a friend that could show you things. Which I didn’t…not yet anyway. I guess that makes me pretty old. I just turned 65 a few days ago, and had forgotten all about that song.
I’m so glad you are still on an Aerosmith kick. One of my favorites from them and it was one of Steven’s favorites for a while. It was great to see the band put it back in the set list two years ago in their northern new england stops
If there’s an acoustic and I’m playing it this is my go to, this song taught me the thumb on the E string changed my playing opened up a whole new world
One of my favorite song from my forever favorite band ! Love to play it on my acoustic guitar since about 40 years when we just had a record or a tape to listen in order to learn guitar licks. I'm glad to see that I was right 🙂 Thanks for that and thanks for all your videos about Aerosmith 🤘
Yep, still using my ears for practically everything. I'm just used to it. I'll sometimes check another tutorial to see if I got it right, but it's 98 percent ears when it comes to figuring songs out.
It's a very well thought out song, I suspect Steven spent a lot of time playing with that. I know he's a very good keyboard player, but that doesn't appear to be transposed it from the keyboard since it takes advantage of a lot of open guitar strings.
You're only the 2nd person I've seen so far on youtube who is playing that intro correctly at the "B" position. The vast majority of the others are using only 1 finger on the 1st fret of the A string and NOT fretting the D string on the 3rd fret also, like they're supposed to. Instead, they play the D string "OPEN"......and it's wrong. Both versions "do work"........but the correct version that you're playing & teaching definitely has a sonic difference that can clearly be heard on the studio album. Often times, the littlest things make quite a difference in the sound & vibe of a tune. You're an excellent teacher. Subbed.
Thanks! It’ll be a sad day when (if?) you get over the Aerosmith bug! I’ve gotten tired of some music from the old days, but never those first four Aerosmith albums.
Wow, I've been playing that A7 bit in the intro wrong for over a decade now. So I notice these days Joe plays this in what seems to be Drop D. Has he always? Any idea why? Does he really just like moving his hands around way more than necesarry? (maybe, lol)
Aside from Alice Cooper in general. This was the album that slapped me and inspired me to play. No one was doing anything like this at my high school dances. All smoke on the water stuff. Not complaining just to this day seek a different sound, different tone. Not starting to far from legacy's
What a brilliant Band that was....Draw the line was close to the end with all the cocaine and heavier stuff...But Right in the Nuts and Rock in a hard Place are good albums, too. The real end of this band...when they started playing waltz....omg
Are you sure? the song is Seasons of Wither ? as of 51 seconds you've said it 3 times....perhaps 10 or 15 times more and we will be sure your sure that we all are sure the song is called " SEASONS OF WITHER " ..
50 seconds. That's all I spoke before the tutorial. A very brief history about the song. Please go elsewhere for your Aerosmith tutorials next time. Thanks.
Light dawns on Marblehead!!!
MOST SERIOUSLY MAN THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE GUITAR LESSON / REMINDER 🤔!!! 💪😎👍
Aerosmith 1st album, Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic and Rocks are 4 of the greatest rock guitar records ever. Thanks for the tutorials !!
My pleasure man!

@@orlandoguitarist Night in the Ruts was really good also !!
@@orlandoguitarist Half of Draw The Line was great , the other half the substance intake was starting to take its toll.

Fantastic track thanks for the lesson
Aerosmith is the reason I started guitar! Thanks for doing their music!
Soundtrack of my youth.
Same
Another fantastic song pulled out of the bag. Your song selection & style of teaching (and pace) can't be beaten, simply perfect!
Thanks mate! Yeah, I try to not baby step it. I'm not aiming at beginners, but rather intermediate players, or even advanced players who want to learn a particular song.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar Thanks for all your help in leaning the songs I love.
I’ve studied 3 tutorials of SOW. It’s fun to mix up different variations and play them.
My favorite Aerosmith song, Epic!

My favorite Aerosmith tune!👍✌️
Great lesson and thanks for posting. Definitely a song you need to play while listening to the rest of the song.
Wow, you nailed it on this song, Kelly! Great teaching! 😎✌️💜
Great tutorial of lesser known classic. Bravo KDA!
A long time since I heard that song. Great tutorial one again ♪♫♪♫♪
My favorite song on Get Your Wings.
Cool.Been playing that tune for years.
THANK YOU!!!! One of my all time favorites!!!
Great song, one of the first Aerosmith songs I ever covered.
Your content cannot be beat and your guitar playing is top notch!! Seriously thank you!!
My pleasure man, and thank you!
If there’s an acoustic and I’m playing it this is my go to, this song taught me the thumb on the E string changed my playing opened up a whole new world
Easily my favorite Aerosmith song... like it's not even close.
Such a cool track! Thanks for sharing this with us 👍✌️

@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar "One way street" on the first album was another song I loved to play.
Maybe you could use your very good ears on it ! 👂
Ooooh 👏. One of the first songs I ever learned on guitar way back in the 70s. Let's see if I had it right.
Another song that I was interested on how you played it. Nice technique in the intro using your pinky finger to slide from the A, to the Bb.
Thank you. That was great.
My pleasure mate!
Thank you sir. It’s not a bug……they’re just so incredible. I caught the bug in ‘78…
It's a very well thought out song, I suspect Steven spent a lot of time playing with that. I know he's a very good keyboard player, but that doesn't appear to be transposed it from the keyboard since it takes advantage of a lot of open guitar strings.
Great lesson Kelly

Aerosmith is the coolest . Can you do kings and queens . Thank you for making me a better guitar player .

I think I figured it out, he uses it in the weird interlude before Brad's short solo.

Well...better than nothing I guess. I never seen this song explained before.
This song is fun and hard to play on Bass. Its all on the first four strings.
Mr. Kelly you got any originals?
I have been playing it about half right and half wrong.
What a brilliant Band that was....Draw the line was close to the end with all the cocaine and heavier stuff...But Right in the Nuts and Rock in a hard Place are good albums, too. The real end of this band...when they started playing waltz....omg

@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar Too much yakite-yak.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar You mean your documentary? You must be referring to your 1:35 minute prelude documentary.
Sorry Kelly you got to deal with these goddamn haters brother
@truckerkevthepaidtourist thanks mate! Don't talk nearly as much as I used to. Don't know what that guy's on about really.
Draw the line kings and Queens and guiotenes
