@Testing-123 According to Google, Wood played electric guitar, bass, and 12 string on the track. Ian McClagan played organ. That's not to say there weren't others.
Actually, the tune is titled "Henry" - one presumes after (King) Henry VIII, who is reputed to be the composer of the tune "Greensleeves" on which "Henry" is based. Quittenton's widow said he was such a marvellous guitar player but, completely not interested in notoriety and I'd have to agree with her. He was shy and retiring.
Man .... that was a great breakdown and demo of a song I have wanted to play for 50 years - Maggie I nailed many a decade ago but 'HENRY' ...... you have made me a very happy old plinker !!! Thanks so much for that, man, great lesson 12 😎👍
Fantastic lesson! Nice touch to add the intro "Henry" piece too. And for the record, I bought my Mandolin for "Losing My Religion". I bought my 12-string for "Maggie May"!
I've been trying to nail this intro for years (really) and this video helped a lot on the 12-string section, and I finally nailed it, THEN, I took a 10-min break and clicked on a random post showing on YT. A music post popped up about how Maggie Mae was the B side on Rod Steward's Reason to Believe and how a Dj in Cleveland first played it and launched it into stratosphere fame. Before I started going off on a tangent about hidden forces, I tried to pick this apart, coincidence (dont believe in them) or what? Conclusion, the web is now so advanced that data mining and direction vectors are closing in on any topic you choose to watch, metrics are probably time, topic, tree position, tone, plus+++. Anyhow, I'm thoroughly engrossed practicing MM intro.
For " out of comfy zone" , nylon string sounds spot on. As do all parts. Of course, Ronnie's "lead" bass part is a bear to learn, but if you can isolate the track, I bet you can do it. Great ear, great chops- keeep awnn!! Cheers! Ü♫
You are one super great teacher.You stay calm whike teaching..In my opinion this is very Important and I plan on playing Henry within this year of 2024..Thank you so very much.
From the time I turned 16 through age 21, I practiced what I would learn slowly of Stairway To Heaven; just the rhythm 8-mins. long ! So, I'm taking another try at learning{ Maggie May( + Henry )- FACES } a valuable tune from 1971.
The late Martin Quittenton was such a marvellous classical guitar player and so under-rated. I'd ask subscribers to listen to tracks like "Dirty Old Town", "Lady Day", "Cut Across Shorty", "Mandolin Wind", "Tomorrow Is Such A Long Time", and "Italian Girls" (where he really plays some 'rock 'n'' roll classical guitar riffs - hidden in the mix).....
My older brother went to a rod Stewart show back in 75... he caught one of those soccer balls rod used to kick into the crowd.... brought it home.....coolest thing ever.. great song....but you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you wore me out....maybe the best lyrics ever... nasa....
thanks - I'm not Martin though :-) he's the one who wrote that piece, was just giving credit to him in the title. thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed
My apologies! I've done the research now into a forgotten composer that you are honouring. Back in the early 1970s, I loved listening to my sister's Rod Stewart record, "Every Picture Tells a Story". But until your tutorial yesterday I had absolutely no recollection of the glorious 'Henry' tune. Mandolin outtro no problem. Thank you again.
What an amazing guitar lesson on a classic song that is simply timeless! I only wish I knew more music theory to understand better, but I am making it a goal to learn this by the end of the year with respect to the fundamentals; I am inspired!! hope to see more lessons from you in the future!!
So good, best lesson yet! The solo is one of my very favourites, fits the song as perfectly as, for example, Harrison's in "Something", or Dave Davies beautiful work on "Waterloo Sunset" (a big influence for this solo I reckon.) Shows that you don't need to play a lot of notes to do a classic solo. The song intro even looks playable to a non-classically-competent guitarist like myself. Thanks!
I concur. Best lesson yet. Unbelieveable job. Always thought that the section after the nylon-stringed acoustic was 2 guitars!! It's exviting to learn something new.
Thank you Martin! Loved learning how this classic from my youth is done, from soup to nuts. And kudos to you for extending your own 12 foot chain - by learning the classical intro!🙏. Love your teaching style and explanations too, BTW. Not overly technical, but giving us the theory underpinnings when relevant. Cheers from Australia!
@@12footchain Bummer! Stuffed it 🤪. Can I now say though, can you do a post telling us about yourself? Is this part if your day job? A hobby? Are you part of a band? Etc. I'd love to know, and I think others would too. Inevitably, you'll now point to an earlier posting😝🤗. For me, after 30 years of off and on bedroom guitaring, I'm now doing my first open mic nights, and the expectation is that I can actually play. Which I of course can't, 😝 hence why your lessons are so fantastic as they're pitched at my level. 🙏🙏🙏
Love it!!! Ronny Wood said in his book that he played bass and all the guitars on Maggie May. I believe he used his Duesenberg guitar for the solo. He still uses it with The Stones. I don't know If he played the Henry part or not. Thanks again!
You are the best dude I'm sorry I couldn't say more but you are the best you did Maggie Mae 10 most songs I've wanted to learn and you did it and I don't care what anybody says
It was Ray Jackson from the Geordie band Lindisfarne. He was even credited on the album as "Some Bloke from Lindisfarne whose name escapes me". The only thing John Peel could play was records. And under aged girls.
I have heard the lift off but to lower notes stretch execution on the high e string performed be jimmy page on the whole lot of love solo at the 12th fret in rapid succession and Hendrix would perform a stretch when he performed the bugle taps in star spangle banner at Woodstock and he also used it on axis bold as love in the end solo section to voice the chords. The intro you show on the 12 string seems to nail it. Great job.
Well , I had no idea that intro was called "Henry" ... Strangely enough, whenever I've heard it , it always makes me think of Lords & Ladies in all their finery dancing in the court of King Henry ViIII ( 8th) . Way back when . Before even I was born ! Great job matey , thank you very much .
Subscribed. Nice to see someone actually teach a song step by step rather than zip through playing it for 5 minutes and saying " and there you go!". Btw, you deserve a lot more credit for the 5 fret stretch. It was perfect.😉
I was lucky, in that Woody taught me to play Maggie May. He taught me to use many cheats, playing the organ and the bass parts to tie the whole thing together. All in Rod's "beloved" key of D!
Perfect. Came across this video mostly by chance and coincidentally I’ve been noodling around with that solo for the last couple of days. Couldn’t quite get it all but this should help 👍🏼 You’ve got a great catalog of song instructions by the way. Great taste in music 😎
Very much appreciated this - excellent work thanks! Incidentally, Ray Jackson of Lindisfarne was credited "some bloke from Lindisfarne" on the album cover and paid a flat fee £15 for the mandolin outro. He was very bitter and it appeared in a court action. John Peel was just miming on the TOTP video while Rod and the lads kicked a football around.
Ronnie Wood also played the bass on this track and that's the basis of the intro from the co-composer's classical guitar, the first and second solos and also that iconic mandolin solo (multi-tracked by the way) from Lindisfarne's Ray Jackson.
Thanks Martin ,An absolutely brilliant lesson and yes ive leant the henry part. The best thing is and whats really impressive is if you keep the 12s close ,thers time to grab it for the main song shortly after doing the Henry part on the classic nylon. Ive never played Mandolin though so thats missing When i get it tight ill post it up to youtube
I love what you did with this! I am going to figure it out and your lesson is the best by far! I only wish that you didn't add the extra when you went to the 12 string, it confuses me a bit. Thanks for all the hard work! Happy Trailz!
I've watched hundreds of so called guitar teachers but you are the best. only problem Is I can't seem to hear your voice to good at all but It could be due to my loss of hearing from working In a cotton mill and listening to rock and roll cranked up during my wilder days. LoL. So please talk louder for a old man. Thanks

I found and broken neck mandolin at goodwill for 8 bucks. Glued it back, slapped see strings on it and figured I'd just hang it on the wall. But being a rocker myself, o did exactly as you said. So far Maggie may and copperhead road. Musicians are kinda predictable. Good tutorial.

Great job, I always thought that Lead solo sounded like a Strat on the neck pickup either recorded Direct into the board or very very low volume from an amp. It is a sound you don’t hear much, very unadorned electric guitar , I think it was direct into the board. Great job on all the parts. Thanks.
Finally after all these years someone who nails it 🎶✨👌
I've never seen anyone nail the acoustic intro before! Wow!
That was played by Ron Wood btw
@@Marsbonfire007 It was written and played by Martin Quittenton who was almost hired for FACES but didn't like the idea of being on the road.
@Testing-123 According to Google, Wood played electric guitar, bass, and 12 string on the track. Ian McClagan played organ. That's not to say there weren't others.

Google 'did Ron Wood play on Maggie Mae'.
One of the best guitar teachers on YT. The way he teaches and the accuracy. Thanks for the lessons!
Never seen this song covered so well in a lesson. Thank you sir.
I absolutely went nope , and then you roped me back in. Thanks for a great lesson
No one on RUclips can wizard a tone as good as this guy.
thank you!
The guy from Shut Up and Play is really good at it as well.

Very nice! Cool to see my mandolin in action on your channel! Glad to help out!
Thanks for letting him pop across to borrow it! Nice neighbourhood 😀
Thank you! I will work on this feverently. One of my favorites from ‘71 when I was a Freshman in HS.😂
me too! Freshman then too
This is all just wonderful. I love Henry.
Great to listen to such an awesome musician play and talk.

He certainly was along with Martin Pugh....I have two of their albums !
This is great! Thanks 🙏 a completely different sound comparing to playing only basic chords
If there’s a tab for the intro part ( 12-string ) it would be great 👌
