Saw them live at Streatham Ice Rink just before this hit the charts magic. So nice to hear his musicianship given credit instead of picking apart his life. He was a wonderful poet as well.
I think Marc is one of the more underrated guitarists when it comes to feel, he might not have been the super technical rockstar type but pretty much everything he did just sounded so right!
so much talent he was like a perfect mix of rock star and british gentleman
@@leahflower9924 And the way he matched his vibrato on the guitar with the one on his vocals!
Excellent analysis of this song by an underrated guitar player. Saw him play the Liverpool Stadium in November 1971. This song I'm pretty sure was a hit around September 1970. Electric Warrior is a fantastic album but my favourite is A Beard of Stars.
Marc Bolan was so colourful and damn awesome! Loved everything about his style and his music! Such a sad loss to all and taken so young! Great analysis and Demo Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀🤘👌
Loved T. REX!! Marc Bolan such an original unique breath of fresh air back then! Huge following here in Canada. I played Electric Warrior , The Slider and Tanx to death. Great stuff! Excellent analysis and demo Fil! 🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦
When I was sad, I slid!
I fell in love with Marc Bolan when I heard Ride A White Swan. Bought the T. Rex LP; it took a while for me to adjust and then I was sold. I think my favorite of his tracks is Frowning Atahualpa, from the first LP.
unique voice i always know its t rex on the radio or movies because of that voice and only he would sing may i hold your hand lol...i love his song "Shy Boy"
Great breakdown as always Fil. Love it when it's a neat defacto guitar lesson like this as well.
Nobody sounded like Marc Bolan. Not before, nor since. His music has aged well.
Wow, thanks Fil from this massive T.Rex fan. The man always knew he was going to be a Star. Props for pointing out technique and the absolute unique vocal ability. "With my Les Paul I know I'm small but I enjoy living anyway" from one of my faves- Spaceball Ricochet. #KALMIYH \m/
Great band -- did not get the attention they deserved here in the US. Bolan was such a great talent and had his own style!
We loved him at school, we were heart broken hearing about his death.
Elemental Child from the same gig is certainly worth a look - simple but oh so effective . . . Steve watches Marc like a hawk so he can follow the changes - my absolute favourite time of Marc's career . . .
My favourite was Monolith ....or Duke of earl...as he called it..from electric warrior ,he just made old stuff sound so modern
December 1970 and 'Ride A White Swan' was when I got into Marc Bolan. He influenced so many guitarists.
St Fil strikes again. Since I’ve been watching you, I realized I get this great new and exciting and deeper understanding of music. While getting a great music lesson and learning a new musical genre. My wife loves T-Rex and now I do too. My mind is open. Thx St Fil
Personally I like:
“ I Love To Boogie “.
They had a very unique sound.
This is a great piece of music.
📻🙂
I loved his voice. He used the technique you talk about to sound a little unearthly, a bit weird. It matched the mysticism in his lyrics. It's hard to pick a favourite TRex song but Ride a White Swan is probably it. Nice analysis and interesting (and unusual) to see someone focus on Marc Bolan's guitar playing. There's a lovely RUclips clip of him hosting David Bowie on his TV programme. They play a song together and Bolan falls off the stage. Without missing a beat he gets back up, grinning. Nice moment.
I'm so glad I had good taste so many years ago. I was laughed at for listening to "weird" stuff, and here we are today. I was caught by the voice first, but the guitar and rest got me hooked.
Appreciation for explaining in detail why Marc's bluesy guitar sounds so spectacularly lovely on the ears. I have wondered about this.
Marc singlehandedly invented glam and had some seriously great power pop songs. Not to mention his crazy s*** with Tyrannosaurus Rex prior to T-Rex
Hadn't really paid attention to him until the Billy Elliot film. It's a treat to watch you play Fil. Can't imagine learning guitar. So talented ❤️😍
Thanks Fil
Amazing video 🙏 T.Rex Cadillac Wembley Live is great performance to react and analyze 👏and every T.Rex live concerts as always
Interesting choice of song of T-Rex to analyze Fil . I'm a huge Marc Bolan fan the man was a legend back then and now. RIP Marc
When I was a sophomore in high school my brother turned me on to T Rex (Marc Bolen had passed at that point )and I spent an entire year stuck on Electric Warrior, getting stoned and cruisin' in my cobalt blue 56' Chevy, 2-door hardtop, (inherited from brother) three on the floor and cassette blaring in the summer breeze, what a year, it was great!
And we had the Ford Escort!
@@jeremywinkfield8523 lol, if I hadn't gotten my brothers car, I would have been in a hooptie & tbh it would have still been a great year.
Bolan was Bowie before Bowie. Adored him.
I like how u took it apart 2 understand Marc's playing
Thank u!💖💖
I don't have too many idols but Marc Bolan is definitely one of them... Great analysis...
Hi Fil! Hadn’t heard T Rex in a long time! Back to the 70’s was fun! Thanks for taking us back to fun music! ✌️
I've never played it with a capo before, must have a go at that I love T.Rex my fave all time band followed by Slade and the Beatles. I use lead and rhythm mixed using an F open shape in Ab and the pinky doing the fancy work. Its got a touch of the Bad Moon Risings in there too. T.Rex did 4 albums as Tyrannosaurus Rex Before the Bolan Boogie and T.Rex album in 1970 just before Electric Warrior though I may be wrong Boogie might have come a wee bit later (months) I will say in a T.Rex manner TANX for that Phil and keep rockin!!!
Marc Bolan was one of those singets I heard bits and pieces of and then he was gone. So I'm glad to learn of his history and techniques now. He definitely was a huge influence on Bowie. I wonder if Bowie would have been the same if there was no Marc Bolan?
That was a good analyses & explanation of the vocal style. I knew it by ear, I just could never explain it. I can now, thanx!
Fil is and will continue to remain - next to Sir Mick - my favorite Posh-rocker, the real beast, last shredder standing, Sir Fil is going to leave a monumental legacy of wisdom for future generations - he's the Bruce Lee of guitar playing, 10th degree black belt!
Haha thanks!
MARC BOLAN - enough said.
Love T Rex .....great breakdown Fil....Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays...🎄
Interesting info tonight, especially about his different type of vibrato. Thanks, Fil!
Been a fan for over 50 years.
Marc Bolan had three acoustic albums, ending with one of his best Unicorn. They had two electronic albums before glam, A Beard Of Stars and T. Rex. 'Ride A White Swan' came out alongside T. Rex and was included in the US version. It marks the end of his hippy stage.
my people
were fair?
@@shootemupshootemdown My people were fair and had flowers in their hair... Prophets, seers and sages, and Unicorn
@@gumbycat5226 yep all in my collection, I was disappointed a bit with T. Rex at first, but slowly bought their singles and one album
The original Glam Rocker! It always amazes me how much Johnny Depp resembles him.
he resembles Donovan kind of
Thank you always up for "T Rex" :)
I bought the Electric Warrior album back in the year 1971 when I was 19 years old. By the end of the year 1971 I had over 100 contemporary vinyl rock music albums in my collection. RAWK!
Always liked T-Rex. What caught my attention was the percussionist. I couldn't really see his playing because the camera work was so bad but I'm wondering if he was playing a Cajon? I've been at jams where one was played and have had my hand at one for a short bit. Great instrument.
Great analysis, Fil! Loved your demonstration of the guitar work!
Thanks!
@@wingsofpegasus love your analysis of Marc Bolan
This was the first T.Rex hit and appearance on TOTP. It was that there that Marc first wore glitter on his cheeks and right there you have the seed of the Glam Rock phenomenon. So many bandwagon jumpers: Sweet, Gary Glitter, Alvin Stardust, Slade, Yes. Yes, all those platform boot-wearing long haired rockers owe their dues to Marc Bolan and in turn to Jimi Hendrix, who influenced fan Marc so much. Wah-wah pedal, visual image, lead electric guitar, onstage preening and posing - all thanks to Jimi's influence. Check out his ode to Voodoo Child (Slight Return) on T.Rex's Beard Of Stars LP, Elemental Child. Of course, there's no competition but Marc did have two weeks of guitar lessons from Eric Clapton (another great fan (and friend) of Jimi, by the way) just prior to recording that album, funnily enough.
what about mick jagger and lou reed?
Great fun, Fil!
Punk version of Get It On!
OMG... Thank you :)
Great analysis! You are a wealth of information. Love the way you explain. First time hearing this, it's kinda catchy, I like it, a cool tune. Thinking out loud I'm wondering what I could do on my favorite line "Da-da-di-di-da"🤣😉
Thanks Fil. Another great analysis (and lesson). You remain The Naked Scientist of Music And Song Analysis.
He was a genius unique in performance poet musician needs more credit
Wow, I learned tonnes from your analysis in this video.
Marc was a star. He was charisma on legs.
By the way, any chance of analysing Melanie Safka?
It would be interesting to see you work out Bolan's technique on the recorded single.
I enjoy Marc Bolan's 'Mambo Sun' guitar solo (middle & end solos) as much as I enjoy Steve Vai's Zappa Plays Zappa Zombie Woof guitar solo...some may not be able to comprehend just how that could be so...I guess there's just a certain coolness about it in the context of the whole song...
Thanks for explaining the "wobble" in a vocal... Always wondered if that was a particular vocalist' "thing" or a vocal technique, or both. I also learned more about the 'wah wah ' as far as a guitarist's playing technique or playing ability. I will check out your other links pertaining to this analysis!! Love ya Wings of Pegasus 🤘☮️
Marc Bon and T Rex, the godfathers of Glam Rock.
Interesting. Thanks, Fil! 🖤🤘🏽
🤶❄️
Thought it was Jack White at first!
I can see how he was influenced no doubt!🤓✌💛🤘
I wonder why nobody has thought of adding a compartment to the electric guitar body to hold the pick?
Dont forget Stevie Curry on bass, once again we hear his groovie bassline in t.rex song.
He was as much a lyrical genius and as prolific as Dylan. Different style but a genius at a style that was all his own.
The First Punker😁
Steve Currie was the one that turned me on to being a bass player. S|hame he never got more recognition!.............
Ringo Starr was a big supporter of T. REX.
It reminds me of Gudby t Jane- Slade
Never heard him do that wobble before. He decided not to do it with his more well known hits. I'm wondering if he was a better guitar player than a singer. Thanks for a very different analysis.
phill I haven't sassed you lately, Todd is in the RR hall of fame, I saw Warren Zevon when I lived in Denver, thoughts?
Marc wasn't using a pick, it was fingers
Can you do a reaction of the group The Sweet
Already have they're out here somewhere!🙂
Genuis 😊😊😊
😻😻😻😻
Thanks Fill, as always keep a little Marc in your heart! Could you do a vid on the later live Dandy In The Underworld. I thought he was
back in form with this performance
ruclips.net/video/l8z7KGjOcF8/видео.html
Marc was great. ai like Spaceball Richochet a lot too.
It was smart of him to switch to a Les Paul. That tone didn't suit him.
🥰🥰
Great analysis Fil.....love the guitar tuition. I vividly remember this in 1971....I always felt it was the bridge between the 60s and 70s. Not a fan of this rendition though.....a bit lack lustre, not much energy.
Marc was an original wasn't he.
So when are you going to feature some Milk Vanili?
It almost sounds as if Marc is not singing in English.
oddly enough this song sounds like bang a gong with a strange vibrato???
Fil, could you please analyze Lucas Imbiriba's fingerstyle rendition of Stairway to Heaven? Link in reply below. Thanks!
ruclips.net/video/o0U3mVKLTOk/видео.html
You have the hammer on, on the wrong string🙉 you need to listen more closely.
Sounds close but no cigar.
It's ok, this was live so I'm figuring it out as I go! 😂
This one looks to have been from the same show. Note the same clothes and set. You should analyze this performance sometime Fil!
Thanks for this video.
White Swan was never one of my most favoites, but your take on this is spot on as always.
ruclips.net/video/bl_3QtIniTE/видео.html
Not the best performance. He was better in 1972.
Pity party
He has a warble. It’s a technique for those that can’t develop a vibrato. It sounds horrible.
"Guy who's never worked in his life watches video of people who have accomplished something "
'Guy who started his first band aged 19 builds an independent career, selling his own original music all over the world, becomes a full time musician, Fender endorsed guitarist, and is asked to make analysis videos due to his professional background.'

Amen Fil, Us Wingers know of all your accomplishments.
So playing music is not work?
Oh come on ... that was rubbish.... Pity Auto tune wasn't about when this was recorded..... Fil you should know better than to pander to the fans .... I saw Bolan Live and I wanted my money back
You can't really ever say something artistic is rubbish, it's just not to your personal taste. Many guitarists would have murdered that top of bend vibrato!
@@wingsofpegasus But it was rubbish.... Ask any neutral music lover who have seen live performances and they will tell you this was a cringeworthy performance... Marc Bolan cashed in on his good looks and mediocre song writing but mainly his looks... over the 1970's I was lucky to see many live performances and well worth the admission for many different groups of the era ... Sorry this was well below par
Barry, just your opinion.
@@barrydavies998 Millions would disagree!
