Chills, my man. Brings back old and fond memories of who DL was at that point in their careers, before their radio fodder "Sugar Me" days. You're too young to have seen the boys promoting High 'n Dry, but it was hard, vital and straight up kick-ass rock n' roll. And so was your video. Steve and Pete would be proud.
One of DL's best written songs IMHO. and OF COURSE you covered it. So I have my son onto your channel. He's high functioning autism and loves 80's rock. Showed him your Danger Zone video and he was done. Thanks again Ben, for all the great stuff you do. Looking forward to the "Sabine" sequel! Cheers!
Thanks! I covered pretty much all of the main Lep catalogue from 2011 - 2017 part from a couple of acoustic tracks and the yeah album. Hope to share new music soon.
My Bro! I hadn't heard Lady Strange since High School! Damn, talk about the flood of memories! The girl friends, just being a teenager. Can't believe I forgot. But it was the eighties! Alot I don't remember! : ) You really burned those strings; they were smokin' and you didn't miss a rift. Thanks for the Christmas gift! Be proud to be different! Peace
Probably my favorite DL song and favorite solo. Saw them in concert on this tour-- was amazing (yes, I'm old). I know I already asked you, but if you ever have the time, can you break down this solo in your instructional vids section? I'll pay you ;-)
Absolutely rockin' tune! High n' Dry is a fantastic album and you literally could not have covered it any better! You're an inspiration to a lot of people and I read a comment saying, "I don't get paid for this, but you guy learning from it is all worth-it." I just think that's really cool of you man. Real stand up guy you are
Man you are amazing. Lep is by far my favorite band ever and I can't find anybody any better than you at capturing the same sound of the late and great Steve Clarke. A true musical genius with his guitar writing style!
Strangely just noticed you've done this song. I was watching it and thinking "hell, that's a lot of hand movement for the chorus riff." I was even thinking you had your guitar tuned differently but then I realised it's because of your style of using your pinky on the third fret away from your index finger instead of the fourth. This is actually one of the few songs where I force myself to use my weak pinky.
I think this video was blocked for a while but looks like it’s back. Even though this video is 7 years old now, I think I’d still play that part the same. It’s all about what’s comfortable for you.
@bwm5150 Considering you don't normally play this stuff!!!! ??? Well it's time to change!!! Awesome stuff. Steve Clark's song writing of guitar music was pure genius! MORE PLEASE!!!!
Yeah I mentioned in a few of my recent vids that a few of my vids were getting blocked worldwide. I believe this is because the back catalogue may be getting put up on iTunes etc. I have a slimmer of hope that its just temporary as the blocks on the 2015 album eventually got lifted. :)
Incredible job on an incredible tune. If you don't mind me asking do you have access to tabs for any of the songs you've covered? Keep up the great work
Thanks! I learn by ear so there’s nothing I can link to but I have uploaded my own notation notes on Patreon and some old handwritten ones on my Facebook page.
damn good, I seen the Pyromania Tour in Toronto before it took off, the old Lep was better, it was raw rocking, love the sound from your Jackson, you nailed it
Hey man, this is a great cover but I have been trying to learn it and when I looked for tabs...I couldn't find any...if and when you have spare time could you tab it out for me? Thanks man.
Give yourself some time and try and learn bit parts and sections using my vid as a guide for where I'm fretting. See how much you can get. I don't mind trying to roughly tab out some of the more difficult parts but I don't have time to tab it all. I made a rough tab for the solo a long time ago for someone else so if that's still in my sent folder I'll send it along.
Look like it's 4 on the High E, 5 on the B for the first chord, then finishes with the 6 on the B. Second chord in 7 on the High E and B, then finishes on the 5 of the B.

@@piccalopete435 Not really the music I'm into, sorry.
I always come back to these vids to remind me of the brilliance of Def Leppard from a source who values the purity of music.
Well said

R.I.P. Steve and just know that your music is still influencing great guitarist to this day.
On through the night, and high and dry... The best old metal!!
It was loud and rocking, Steve I can remember just smoked on the axe, when they played switch 625 it just blew the place away
My favorite Def Leopard song, Lady Strange!
That my friends was where the magic was. Steve Clark and Pete Willis. And that all I got to say about that.. nice playing and tone.👍
I love this song, getting back to this album year after year. that s a true and underrated masterpiece.
High n Dry is a really fun album to listen to as a whole. Just great fun rockers!
as a huge leppard fan I really appreciate your Def Leppard covers! I love the high n' dry album and you did a great job on this song!
+GlamRock Sugar Thanks. I think this is my favourite from High n Dry. Love Me & My Wine also. :)
It just shows you how many cool concepts that Steve Clark incorporated into a basic song,.Amazing!
One of DL's best written songs IMHO. and OF COURSE you covered it.
So I have my son onto your channel. He's high functioning autism and loves 80's rock. Showed him your Danger Zone video and he was done.

Twelve years later, I guess it's the same thing to say: DUDE YOU'RE AWESOME !
One of my most favorite songs by them. High and Dry best album. You sir are awesome on the guitar. Thanks for sharing.
+Mark A. Chees Mark. I think this is my favourite from the album also.
My Bro! I hadn't heard Lady Strange since High School! Damn, talk about the flood of memories! The girl friends, just being a teenager. Can't believe I forgot. But it was the eighties! Alot I don't remember! : )

I'm learning this song as my first song on the guitar and I love it and love playing it so much. This is my favorite cover. You play so well ☺️

Flawless, man! Love these songs and I could watch your playing and learn from that rather than reading boring tabs.
Can't stand tab..
Love these Classic Tunes!! Hell of a job Man!!!

By Far the best cover of this song on You tube !! Kudos my Friend!!
Brilliant cover!
You are so killer man! At least we know who will replace Phil & Viv if and when the time ever comes, you and steve04050!! :D
You nail all Def Leppards songs perfect.
Great job. Def Lep's best song off their best album.
FANTASTIC!
Great work !!!
EXTRAORDINARY!!!
Love it! You played both guitar harmony parts at the beginning!
I try and cover all the parts in the song if I can. :)
Superb cover thats a cool song from the High n Dry album excellent solo cheers for uploading!!!
hell yea play it brother
I can't thank you enough! One of my favorites, awesome shirt too! Looking forward to whatever is next!
one of the best song ever for me and you played it great THANKS BRO.
Cheers :)

Thanks again Andrew. The shirt is from an old Brittish cartoon called 'The Raggy Dolls.' :)
Amazing!
One of my favorite Def Leppard songs, the guitar is absolutely beautiful. You did an awesome cover, great job! :)
Thanks Kat! One of my favourites too!
bwm5150 You're welcome! 😊 Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos!
This is awesome! Great song - great job!
Kimon Flanagan Cheers Kimon :)
@bwm5150 Considering you don't normally play this stuff!!!! ??? Well it's time to change!!! Awesome stuff. Steve Clark's song writing of guitar music was pure genius! MORE PLEASE!!!!
wow man......great cover. I love those licks
Hello. Awesome!
Hi. Cheers!
Awesome but pick one guitar part(Pete Willis or Steve Clark). Maybe do a split screen and do both. Awesome picking my friend and GREAT SONG selection
I’m happy with the way I did it, thanks.
Your covers of all the songs from OTTN are not available in my country. :( But you did a great job on the other stuff!
Yeah I mentioned in a few of my recent vids that a few of my vids were getting blocked worldwide. I believe this is because the back catalogue may be getting put up on iTunes etc. I have a slimmer of hope that its just temporary as the blocks on the 2015 album eventually got lifted. :)
Spotify would be nice. They have the catalog from like 2010ish to today on there. Missing all the old gold.
This is awesome. I want to play like you!
Incredible job on an incredible tune. If you don't mind me asking do you have access to tabs for any of the songs you've covered? Keep up the great work
Thanks! I learn by ear so there’s nothing I can link to but I have uploaded my own notation notes on Patreon and some old handwritten ones on my Facebook page.
Wow..Awesome! TY!
I saw them open up for Blackfoot. Def Lep hasn't put out an awesome song since Steve died
awesome job as always!!!! :)
i knew i should have not showed this lick !
Perfect!!!! Nice job
Thanks John! :)
wow nice !!
damn good, I seen the Pyromania Tour in Toronto before it took off, the old Lep was better, it was raw rocking, love the sound from your Jackson, you nailed it
Nicely Done!
Seth Davis Cheers Seth
@bwm5150 Cool! Looking forward to seeing more. :)

Try songsterr.com Its not tabbed the same as this guy plays it but it is a big help !
Lady Elaine Fairchilde wishes
What effects and gear did you use to get that perfect sound?
I use a Boss Me50 for a crunchy distortion with a compressor, chorus and delay.
I’m proud to be different too bro
Can really hear Pete in this song
Nice cover!!! Have you got the tab please? Cause i purchase others versions not too good than your ! thanks
Band*
to bad leppard dont play songs like this anymore travesty i tell ya
ok that will do , cheers m ate
can u put q lesson of this on your channel
What are the chords you are playing at 1:27 and 1:38 I cant figure them out for the life of me
Look like it's 4 on the High E, 5 on the B for the first chord, then finishes with the 6 on the B. Second chord in 7 on the High E and B, then finishes on the 5 of the B.
bwm5150 thanks man I've been trying to get it for ages
tabs plis
Ok, where's the High n Dry cover?
Your playing Pete's parts, aren't you?
+RyanThompsonGuitarist i just try to cover all the parts in the song. Solo is Steve and the rest is a bit of both I imagine.
Ok, ok that's it. I'm gonna have to ask you to marry me.
hahaaha
