One can never get enough of superior content from the home of superior content.
Brilliant Statement.
Superior comment
According to Ray Manzarek of the "Doors", this tune was the inspiration for "Riders on the Storm".
First song my Dad ever taught me on guitar. Brings back fond memories of him for me.
I remember Lawrence Welk, I'm 70yrs now and this show was popular with my folks although once in awhile there was something special. This was one of those moments that the youngsters saw a guitar being played in an orchestra which was rarely seen back then.
Remember The Chantays?
Adrian, your backing track with organ, chorus and castanets has captured the essence of Lawrence Welk's "champagne music"! 🥂🍾🤠
I very much admire Adrian for his ability to impart enthusiasm and ability
So fun! Great old tune. The Outlaws have a rippin’ Southern Rock-style cover of this one, too. And yes, you, dear Adrian, are a hero for including the castanet machine.
As for the Lawrence Welk Show, which dates back to the mid-50s, I remember watching that with my parents when I was really young. I remember the bubble machine, too!
you should check out the roy clarke and buck owens version of this they did on HEE HAW. it is on youtube. it is mind melting...
First recorded by Burl Ives. There are two different versions of Neal Lavang playing this on the Lawrence Welk show. The early version features him playing a Stratocaster with a gold anodized pickguard. Both are worth viewing.
Burl Ives: he did a great version of “Mr Rabbit Mr Rabbit”, haunts me to this day.
This is why ACPG is the best guitar tutorial site on the interweb.
So much diversity of styles and songs.
Love it.
One of the best channels. Adrian is a first class tutor.
Your lessons are really fantastic, I love the great variety of music you break down and explain so well. Thank you.
This ranks right up there with the chromatic harmonica used on the endless summer. Maniacal attention to detail produces superior content . I can’t wait to give this one a go.
Always appreciate how you name the notes instead of fret and string numbers that hold people back. I learned the fretboard forever ago but I’ve seen beginners struggle and never learn.
The best part of this "lead guitar" part of the song, is that it wasn't part of the original song/recording in 1948. It's a later addition that emulates Stan's original vocal track, so it's easily adaptable by each player to best fit their own taste and skill level, i.e. - artistic license and interpretation.
Growing up in the 70s as a youth, the version by the Southern Rock band The Outlaws was the one that I know and love. I saw them play it live in Houston,TX in early 80s.
The Outlaws had 4 guitar players. Their version was over the top.
Great job Adrian! Thanks for posting this one. I grew up watching the Lawrence Welk show with my dad who was a musician. Neil was one of my earliest guitar heroes. Peace my friend.
Love your dry humour, your taste in music, but most of all your lessons. Keep up the superior content !
So addictive! Great version of this classic, thanks for the superb lesson 🤠
These are the lessons I love on your channel. Country, twang, and some nice licks are always good.
The early Lawrence Welk shows have some great guitar work, along with Neil LeVang there was also Buddy Merrill on a 50's Strat during the black & white TV era.
I really appreciate your channel. It’s been a tremendous help and an inspiration. That castanet machine is spectacular!
Another good tutorial, thanks. One of the first songs I learned to play, a few handy difference’s. This tune played by the Ramrods is my favourite
Best guitar channel. Iv said it before, and i'll say it again. Always the best stuff
This was the first song that I learnt on my own by ear. It wasn't perfect but close enough to make a young lad proud.
My first introduction to this song was on my Grandmother's record player. Sons of the Pioneers version on 78RPM vinyl. Another classic, Adrian!
oh I am so definitively gonna learn this! Thnx Adrian, you the man.
Terrific!! One of my faves growing up in the 50's. Nice touch with the organ comming in.
Man, you can play any genre with equal quality! Thanks for sharing.
How many times have we all heard this tune over the years, I put it on my site year....sss ago but I have to say Adrian you still manage to make it sound brand new, bravo m8
Adrian again bringing another tasty guitar treat, I love the backing, and this just launches me into the weekend with something meaty to get pickin on.
Thank you for this song, fun to play and listen to, excellent choice.
That intro never fails to crack me up 😆
that was beautiful and the castanet effort was noble . clean job .
I actually own Neil LeVang 77 MusicMan’s guitar Leo gave him as kind of an endorsement.
Nice upload. Curtis
If you ever find yourself in Nashville on a Thursday-Saturday. Stop in at Roberts western world from 7-10 and enjoy Kelly’s Heroes rendition of ghost riders in the sky. You won’t be disappointed.
This video is the one. You made my whole week! Thank you!
Lovely work; you can tackle so many guitar styles. I am very impressed. Thank you for sharing.
Adrian l was lucky enough to see the Laurence Welk Show live on tour as A child back in 1978 .A life well lived .Thanks for reminding me.
So cool mate! High quality. Thanks for your good work!
Great video - look forward to learning this one. Enjoyed bumping into you in the hub on Sunday morning. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your day!
WHOOOO HOOOO..!!! Yippee aye ohhh…!!!
This is one cool tune…!!! Classic. Fender twang and sick bass notes..!
Thanks..!
Adrian! Always a pleasure to see you ;)
The Shadows covered it with distinction also , thank you for this wonderful lesson.
pardon if my comments are redundant.. The Lawrence Welk Show was kind of cool to us old guitar nerds.. lots of fender guitars and amps made their debut there.. as well as one offs for the various players. This one was done with a custom colored strat, I believe.. the show's popularity (mainstream) waned by the late 50's LOL... but 'underground' it's a total jem. Love your lessons!!! Great picker (and teacher). Thank you for sharing what you do.
Very good, man! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro. Keep making more videos. You rock.
I gotta say ...your one of the best
Beautiful! Keep on the good work!
Thanks for this Adrian.....been meaning to learn it for ages.
Very nice Adrian, thanks for this. Always interesting to have a look at differing versions, I play this all in the first 3 or 4 frets so I’ll have to take a closer look at what you’re doing here but straight away I can see I do definitely like the hammer-ones.
I also like some parts of the Ventures version too.
Thanks again.
Thanks my man super cool stuff love your clicky metronome things 😂😂lesson is much appreciated cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪!! Brian
Lots of fun. Thanks Adrian!
I can definitely hear a Salvador Dali influence in your castanet machine playing.
Awesome!
Cool lesson! Definitely going to give this a try. Cheers!
perfect lesson as always!!
Look for the early Ventures version !!
Thank you for another great video, Adrian. Any chance you could run through how you record your backing tracks some day? They're always stellar.
OMFG - the castanet machine! Absolute class!
Love it!
Love it
Cool..gonna try and learn this and play it next time I go to Guitar Center…….😂😂😂. Love your channel!
The mellotron / synthy choir really lends a cool vibe to your version.
Great channel, with impeccable taste. I subscribed instantly.
Fantastic.
That's great! You are a very talented musician. Thanks for playing that. I prefer the Roy Clark version with lots of tremelo picking, but your version, or Neil's, is great as well. Thank you for the great content.
From "Baby Lemonade" from Ghost Riders instrumental another one I like so much and find that Adrian does too
This is one of my favorite country songs. My favorite version is Johnny Cash live at Montreux, playing with his son and his howls Woooo woo!
Fantastic 👌
You had me at castanet. Excellent content. Fanx.
Adrian, yer so freekin adorable. I really like yer videos and have learned a lot from you. You have good fingers to learn from. Make sure we can see each individual finger as lain on frets. Love yer choice of songs to learn. Wow!
I remember the Lawrence Welk Show! In my hometown it aired on Saturdays at 7:00pm, and Hee Haw (with Buck Owens and Roy Clark) was on another channel at the same time. This is pre-cable, and we probably got four channels total, so we ended up watching Hee Haw. I'm from Kentucky, so we leaned toward country music in our house.
that hee haw version of this song by those two boys is mind melting, probably the most impressive version of this song ever recorded...
Very very nice Adrian!
Thx for this one!
Always been very fond of the Otway and Barrett version, though I suspect Barrett used as Otway probably got distracted from writing the song Running from the Law.
Great stuff Adrian, as an ageing punk rocker just learning the guitar, I was brought up on this stuff listening to what me old dad used to play to me when I was a kid, I love them old cowboy songs but I really need you to show me how to play alternative ulster by stiff little fingers and I'm an upstart by angelic upstarts, I think your the only man in you tube land that could do this
Really anything by SLF!
+1 for suspect device
Edit: nevermind it’s super easy
Tomorrow's girls by the UK subs would be an easier start than Alternative Ulster
Dude you and me fit the same demographic. I've always had a guitar and could belt out some Ramones tunes, but the combo of this dude having stuff that I would actually be interested in playing and, weirdly, getting into Ween, really got me taking learning more than major chords.
Too Gooddd
Jolly good....cheers mate....from Canada...
Thank you
When Johhny Plays that with the upright Bass Player....wow shivers up the spine
Nothing screams pure country than the jazzmaster. 😉
Thanks!
Great job! Love this song. Nobody does it better than Roy Clark along with Glen Campell.
Just great 👍
This classic morphed into another classic : The Doors Riders on the Storm
Merci et respect pour tout vos travaux 💖🎸😎💖😉
I remember this song from a compilation CD called "Guitar Classics" - it had this one, Sabre Dance etc. I can't find the CD anymore, but this was definitely on it as the first track but it was called Apache or something similar.
Not to be an internet contrarian, but I suspect you're thinking of Apache by The Shadows. It's a different tune but with a very similar vibe 😎
Laurence Welk was required watching every Saturday night my parents home.
Love it 👍👍👍
I recognize that guitar player from the Lawrence Welk Show also.
My favorite version of GRITS is the version by The Outlaws.
You play it great. Nice playing.
you should check the roy clarke-buck owens version they did on hee haw and i bet you have a new favorite version. it is mind melting...
geez.... that''s quality content for sure....
skillz, loving the palm muted parts
The Lawrence Welk show was on for years and in the 70s was very popular, especially amongst Swedish and German Americans in the northern states.
It’s impossible to post this without making Ennio Morrocone Spaghetti Western themes that feature reverb drenched guitar a staple of future lessons.
Like most of your lessons but I really love this tune. Remember it from the 60s but in particular from the original "Blues Brothers" film. Also played by the Sons of the Pioneers.
That was Rawhide.
Classic
O that's cool man
Adrian, you don't know Lawrence Welk? Well here's a joke we used to tell about Lawrence:
What's the difference between Lawrence Welk and a moose?
With a moose the asshole is behind the horns.
Doesn't matter, we all loved the guy. And-a-one, and-a-two.
Once again great lesson. Our musical taste is very similar.
Maybe you could do The Knitters version of “Burning House of Love” focusing on Dave Alvin’s soloing over the chords and his lead.
I also find the galloping rhythm John Doe is playing a little daunting. I just can’t wrap my head around it. I get close but I’m just not there…
I seem to remember Mark&Lard playing a Jello Biafra cover a lot in the 90's too!
My parents never missed an episode.
