The Jorma tone! Met the man a few years back and is the most unassuming, down to earth guy you could ever imagine. I wanted to pull up a chair and talk to him for hours.
Yes, I love the tone too. I've been wanting to play this lead for quite a while, so thanks so much for sharing. I grew up with this album and will always love it.
Capitol Theatre - Passaic NJ. Now that was a venue! First show I saw there was Hot Tuna - I was about 14. Holy crap the bands I saw there. Thanks for the White Rabbit - such a blast to play.
I am dumbfounded that I've only just now discovered this channel. I had been subbed to your PT channel for so long and just stumbled across your Privettricker's final video while I was looking for a cover of 'Cold as Ice' by Foreigner. I used to love watching your covers/lessons even if I didn't learn the song myself. Glad to see you're still doing your thing and I hope you get this message, even if it isn't publicly posted as you said it might not be in the final PT video. Thanks for years of entertainment and info.
This is unbelievable tone ure getting Dude u r the bomb But u already know that Im still convinced you are a big shot celebrity keeping ur identity obscured Youre the real deal
Must invoke Jeff Spicoli here..."Awesome, totally awesome!!" Even more awesome than the guitar playing is the Capitol Theatre t-shirt! Soo jealous. I saw Ozzy & Randy there, Triumph, Cheap Trick, REM and U2 during the 3 years I was in high school. And can't forget the Garfield Dunkin' Donuts after the shows to load up on jet fuel and Cinnamon rolls for ride back to East Brunswick. Good times!
Goodness, I remember when the PT version was originally posted I had a really hard time learning/memorizing the intro (plus being super jealous of the Gretsch you had at the time.) I really surprised myself when I played this again and it's suddenly so natural feeling! I've got to thank you JJ you've really made me enjoy learning the guitar!
Alway the best, JJ. I play (and badly) only acoustic, and learned this one from you. Of all the plays of this I've watched and listened to on YT, yours is tops. And none of the tabs I find get it close to right in that intro solo part right after the 4-5 5-4 noodle on the A and D strings. I'm playing it on my old '72 D-18, newly strung with 12-54 lights, first time ever since the guitar was new. My first ever find of you was you as PT teaching me the Lowell George walkdown intro for Willin.
Listen i dont need to tell you again and again But I absolutely love your videos . You have given meaning to youtube Please do a lesson for besame mucho beatles version please please please Regards
Great video...we will be doing this in one of our Adult R&R sessions...nice tone (as someone noted) I believe that Paul Kantner used a Gretsch Country Gentleman but not positive. The original song along with "Somebody To Love" was sung by Grace Slick in San Fran as they were the "Great Society" back then...I'm now "dating" myself ;-))
That was excellent. I don't know how Jorma got his amp(either the Standel Super Imperial XV or Fender Twin) to fuzz out so excellently and dynamically on the low note, total mystery since he claims he was not using a fuzz box, maybe speaker distortion?
s2studlys2 I think the intro here focuses mainly on the notes from the chords themselves - F#, Bb, C# (from F# major) and G, B, D (from G major) - and adds few other notes in between to make it coherent. Since the whole song has only major chords, it is not strictly diatonic, hence just one major scale isn't used here. JJ's another post for today is "All Day and All of the Night", which also has only major chords throughout, but the solo sticks to the G minor pentatonic. This is just another possibility.
I think it's B harmonic minor scale (or F# dominant phrygian, if you prefer) - with the substitution of the A note from the F# minor scale in lieu of the B flat at the end. That's how I've always seen it, but a real expert on harmony could probably explain it better.
Good job, well done, no instructional advice , as usual, which I have no problem with. However, regarding a few lead breaks and fills etc , In what key are you calling this song , acid key? Sounds like there is a key change involved, in the bridge. I am not expecting an answer, but have you got any approaches or ideas. ( except for "listen to the recording") 😉
Andalusian/Spanish music uses a lot of harmonic minor scales and the phrygian mode, generally speaking. This song is in the harmonic minor scale that's why you get this Andalusian vibe in it.
played it just like this when I was 17...now I'm 67...man, 50 yrs. ago,and still love this song...thanks for doing it..
@RussianSecretAgent внатуре!
you are 71 now still loving it ?

I've never heard anyone play it as good as this. The tone is perfect. That 60's sound.
One of the greatest rock recordings there is! Thanks for posting for guitarists!

Always sounds like there's more going on that what it actually is.
Pretty authentic with the tone and the voicings too!
Brought back some memories of a long time ago. This is one of the many times I love to see your fingers on the fret board. Thanks James.
Excellent, all you need is a 60's Guild Thunderbird plugged into a blackface Fender Twin Reverb with the reverb cranked up and your Jorma.

JORMA! ftw. great tone, enjoyed this so much, it ended too soon.
Great video...we will be doing this in one of our Adult R&R sessions...nice tone (as someone noted) I believe that Paul Kantner used a Gretsch Country Gentleman but not positive.

Awwwe thanks for the good luck
WOW!!!
my Birthday is May5th , and love that shirt!! Capitol theatre Passaic Nj, shame its not there anymore
Nice job!
Thanks. It's just as easy as it sounds.
Nice tone!
good one. nice riffs
That was excellent. I don't know how Jorma got his amp(either the Standel Super Imperial XV or Fender Twin) to fuzz out so excellently and dynamically on the low note, total mystery since he claims he was not using a fuzz box, maybe speaker distortion?
Proper cover 👌
very nice. and congrats on the pizza
That Arab Egypt Spanish vibe
Spot on mate! Great track and tone :)
Just getting into scales etc... is the intro apart of the minor scale?
No idea, sorry.

phrygian scale maybe
Amazing man!
Are you using an ibanez art core?
When it comes to that fantastic note, when the rabbit bites its own head off... I want you to throw that fking radio into the tub with me.
Good job, well done, no instructional advice , as usual, which I have no problem with.
However, regarding a few lead breaks and fills etc , In what key are you calling this song , acid key? Sounds like there is a key change involved, in the bridge.

Is that a Gibson es 335? What settings did you use? Thanks so much for this song!
Grace slick and great society live version is worth checking out. Its really outshines the Jefferson Airplane version IMO
can you please tell me what strumming pattern do you use in the verse, bridge and outro parts?
James James: the best kept secret on RUclips.
Let's keep it a secret.
James James My thoughts exactly...
Dude u dont have a Rickenbacker in your collection 🤔
I am willing to get you one ☝️
Which one do u want ?
It will be an honor for me to gift you one
Is my channel worthy of a free Rickenbacker 325? haha love this comment - I'd do whatever songs you want for that
It's about reading Lewis Carol and the connexion with LSD, except that he even doesn't need it to write.
Mach 1 Mustang model in background?
Are the notes or tabs available somewhere?
what mode is this a fine example of?
Ok got it, 3rd mode of D , phrygian 🙂
That intro has that North African/Saharan vibe that I love. I'm next door to that culture in Andalucia. Zep's Four Sticks has that feel to it.
Andalusian/Spanish music uses a lot of harmonic minor scales and the phrygian mode, generally speaking.
This song is in the harmonic minor scale that's why you get this Andalusian vibe in it.
beautiful !!! whats your guitare and ampli ?
That's a Gibson ES-335 through a Peavey Vypyr 100.
Love the intro. I find the open chords work better throughout the song, but that's just my experience with the guitar. Good cover, nonetheless!
what pedal do you need for this song
I didn’t use any pedals, but the amp has effects. I think this has delay and plenty of reverb.
@@jamesjames9275 okay thank you
This is ibanez?
Gibson ES 335.
I’m only eight years old and I know how to play guitar
Kinda sound like an Indian sitar
