80s I was lead singer in a band. We did this. But I didn't play guitar. I do now. 18 years of serious playing. Thank you Kelly. Rocking out the shit. Love your lessons.
Not a guitar player (except in my dreams) but Bad Company (Simon Kirke) was why I play drums (46 years now)! I've always loved and appreciated how Ralphs played guitar... such feel and emphasis, emotional and tasty leads (love the slides)... such an awesome true rock band where nobody overplayed the other members but just complimented each member. You can be a bass player, drummer, guitar player or singer, focus on their parts in the song and hear genius and magic. Truly "a band" of mates playing their instruments/voice with love and skill! Thank you... you played it PERFECTLY!
the opening riff baffled and eluded me for yrs....finally in early days of internet before all the guitar vids i found a forum where a guy explained in writing how to play it..i was so amazed...it's so simple but somehow was outside of my grasp
Great lesson, thanks Kelly. Keep the BadCo coming! Mick Ralphs is very underrated, I just love his playing. Very good rhythm player and love his melodic solos.
Mick Ralphs is right up there on my list of truly musical guitarists ( as opposed to technical geniuses) who can take a simple idea and craft it into a memorable song and when you hear it you think "why has no one come up with that before"-his contribution to early Mott was considerable also in this vein. His guitar solos are usually a model of economy and sit so well with the song.Mick Jones of Foreigner is similar.Great lesson -thanks
My guitar world has been fantastic since I met your teachings . I wish I could meet you and shake your hand for opening up my guitar world. THANK YOU!!
WOW Kismet!! - funny enough, although I wore out the cassette and still listen to the cd - I was driving today and on Sirius XM came Rock Steady & for some reason it struck me like never before. I said to myself, That's about as Rock n Roll as it gets. I'm gonna learn that one this weekend - Love the interplay with the bassist on the recording too. Thanks for making my homework a little easier KDA!!!!!!!!!
Love bad company seen them twice once with Paul Rogers and I don’t know who the other singer was the second time but they were the loudest band I’ve ever seen up the Danforth use a call in Toronto 🎶🎼🎸
Hey boss man ... .I know your plate is full but I can not find covers/lesson on the internet for either 'Electric Land' by Bad Company or ' Ten Dollar Man' by ZZTOP . Please , please add them to your guitar lessons. Thank you for all that you do !!!
Love what you're doing brother, how bout some Montrose off the first record.. Rock Candy, Rock the Nation, Bad motorscooter, etc.. great tunes and time in Rock history!
I had a look at Rock Candy a while back ruclips.net/video/MFR7a6m5WGQ/видео.html Have been meaning to dig a bit more into Montrose however. Loved that shit when I was 16 or 17.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar me too, it was America's led Zeppelin. Only more balls to the walls, had. Ronnie Montrose punched my left ear with that guitar at winterland in San Francisco. I stood right next to the monitors down in front. Got literally blown away
The video title confused me :) I clicked because I thought it was about how to play the music genre called "rock steady" (ska or uptempo reggae). To make things worse, there's a ska band called Bad Manners the name similar to Bad Company
And while I'm asking questions, wouldn't it be better to have a backing track playing, especially on your initial play through? It would give context to the solo sections you are trying to teach. And last thought, really appreciate moving through your lessons like we have a brain. I hate the note by note tutorials.
Very nice, thanks. Kelly, ever consider a Patreon account or another way to enable some income, or at least a way for your followers to contribute something financially to you?
Thanks mate! I have both actually. I post links to them in the description of each video that I do. It's always appreciated as I would love nothing more than to get to the point where I can do this for a living full time. That's the goal.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitarthat explains it, well I just became a Patreon supporter but I had to sort of join via a little back door trick as when I clicked on become a member, no page loaded, it just showed your name at the top with nothing else, so I just selected a lesson and that worked. Maybe it’s because I was doing everything on my iPad, 🤷♂️

Thanks!
Thanks man!
Do you work from tab on these lessons?
No. Strictly learn them by ear.
Your fretboard wears worn memories of the key of A ...😊
awesome
I love bad company

👍
I'll give a flip about the "rock and roll" (really low brow pop) hall of fame when BAD Company gets in!
When iiii..ii'....One of my top Bad Co. songs on the list...and the list is long...

For some of us our brains have not developed as much as yours..,
Backing tracks always come with the threat of a copyright claim and/or strike. I try to avoid both as much as possible.
