in 1964 I was 14,lived thru the british envasion....kinks were very underated,but there will never again be music like it was then..and I've been watching all your vid's for a few yrs. now,love the guitars,and everything you do...from Canada,take care..and keep 'em coming..!!
Love it. The value of Barre Chords - which I'm hoping to get into this coming week. Ray Davies lives 200yards up the hill from me - as did the late George Michael, RIP. I can now also see how the solo is played and recall reading how Shel Talmy had Jimmy Page on hand as he had doubts about Dave Davies' playing. Apparently Pagey was nonplussed by the solo. That apart, Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill. Wholly inspirational to strugglers like me. Cheers.
So awesome that you have these Kinks songs. As a kid I loved these songs as I was 15 in 1970. Ray and his brother wrote some awesome songs. Thank you so much for bringing them back alive.
I saw great interview with Johnny Marr where he talks about he would have loved to written this riff, and considers this one of the greatest classic rock riffs. thank you for playing this
Awesome JJ! I love The Kinks! Very underrated for such great playing and songwriting! Freshman year in high school, I really got into their record Give The People What They Want! Destroyer sucked me in but Better Things and YoYo! Man that is good music!
That's it! That's what looks different. You are not doing your thumb over the top style of bard chord.😂😂. Is it harder to slide up and down as quickly as you need to that way James? I struggle keeping the high E depressed trying to mimic that style (thumb over the top). As always, love all you do for us brother. You have a simply amazing body of work here, on your channels, and a tremendous legacy. Cheers from Canada as well.
Both the songs you did yesterday, this one and "White Rabbit," use that same major chord shape sliding all the way up and down the neck instead of switching to the occasional fifth-string root. Do you suppose that's the Sixties equivalent of a power chord?
I tried doing that with the bar chords but I couldn't hold out cause it's to fast. I would get to tied already by the time the chorus started. Arthritis dont help matters. Lol
I don’t know about that. Jimmy’s soloing in his studio years was different from how he played later on. Still, I’d guess Jimmy is on rhythm on this one.
I love your channel bro but this rocks the fuck out of fuck. 25 years before Nirvana would try to write something like this ---- which to their credit they did do :)
It’s been said that Jimmy Page played session on early Kinks recordings which the kinks have recently denied. As far as I’m concerned Dave Davies is a better guitarist than Page.

ditto (except I was 22 in 1966)

Great job on this! Kinks was such an under-rated band!
This is part of the real Beginning of Metal.

Dude if i could play like u
I would quit my profession
Awesome JJ! I love The Kinks! Very underrated for such great playing and songwriting! Freshman year in high school, I really got into their record Give The People What They Want! Destroyer sucked me in but Better Things and YoYo! Man that is good music!
Great....I love that guitar solo
Nailed that solo! #$&@ yeah!
Awesome!
Thank you so much for posting this. Iv'e never been able to figure this song out other than the main riff. :)
likewise... a couple of sneaky chords I didn't pick up! groovy tune to play!
Nice job! I see many people absolutely butchering Kinks songs on here but that was excellent.
Reading Davies' book, "Americana." Talks about the songwriting process and more. Cool stuff. Thanks for the lessons, JJ.
Perfect......
Nice job!!
Good job on the solo.

NJTNYP With that much sliding around, this fingering is easier.
Yeah
I wonder what Van Halen would have sounded like, had they recorded this instead of You Really Got Me...
It's a barre chord kind of day.
That's the Dave Davies hand exercises for the day.

jrpipik I think people generally think of 5th chords as power chords. These are full major chords.
I tried doing that with the bar chords but I couldn't hold out cause it's to fast. I would get to tied already by the time the chorus started. Arthritis dont help matters. Lol
Supposedly page played the solo?
But Davies denied it. I believe him
It's Dave. Listen to all his other early solos - similar style, nothing like Page's style.
I don’t know about that. Jimmy’s soloing in his studio years was different from how he played later on. Still, I’d guess Jimmy is on rhythm on this one.

Dave has been denying it since the 60s. He’s lying of course, but who really cares now?
"I may be mistaken but I think I read somewhere that Jimmy Page(the solo) was on that session"?
I think jimmy page played the solo on the studio version of this song
No, it's pretty clear that Dave did it.
Hmmmm...
