I’m 54, and when we were 13 or 14, we used to do Stranglehold as our big finale. Our singer also knew how to figure guitar harmony parts, and all kinds of stuff that you guys are teaching on YT now. We loved Thin Lizzy and it was pretty impressive for a group of 13 year olds doing note for note dual harmony leads on Cowboy Song and The Boys Are Back. We didn’t know what tab was, nor did we have slow down software. I remember learning most of the Cat Scratch Fever album from the 8-track. If a song was too long to fit on a track, you had to wait for it to click over to finish. LOL. My grandparents raised me, and I’ll never forget how much I lobbied my them to buy me a cassette player for Christmas. It was an Akai, and I wore out the head on that thing working the FF and rewind buttons. The kids now have no idea how much easier You Tube makes it to learn these solos. Thanks to you, and the all guys that provide some very useful content for the rest of us lazy old fuquers.
Hi Allen. I'm basically the same age (51), and I know exactly what you mean. I ruined several albums (Led Zep II for example) by moving the needle back and listening again and again and again. I knew how to read music, but never saw tab until I was in my 30's. I also eventually got a cassette player and made crappy recordings ... and then did what you did with the FF and REW buttons. I knew a sleazy guy at a local music store who had a cassette player that would slow down the music to about 1/2 speed. That was the pinnacle! Funny, we played Stranglehold as our finale too ... at a Catholic Jr. High dance anyway. (Love Stinks wasn't appreciated so much!) Stranglehold always went over well. Not really a very good dance number, but we didn't care. Yeah, that first garage band at 13 or 14 was where I learned all the "classics": Stranglehold, 10 other Ted numbers, 8,000 Led Zeppelin songs, Money, Evil Ways, and Lights. What a hoot! :) You know what though? We were lucky. Relying on tab all the time is not good. We had to develop our ears. Sure we got things wrong and ruined some equipment in the process, but being able to figure out (some) songs by ear is important. Too many players (some pros too) really sound like clones to me.
I saw Kansas , The Cars, and Thin Lizzy in 1979 first row arms on the stage. I have seen Nugent twice, once at monsters of rock day on the green with Aerosmith, AC-DC with Bon Scott. Judist priest and Cheap trick but not in that order. Anyway you name em i ve seen em. Saw Zeppelin twice , Robert Plant solo . Page and Plant and The Firm with Jimmy page, saw The Who twice, the stones twice, Saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 17 times, once with Dylan I can go on and on! Saw the original Skynyrd and several versions after they went down like 6 different times , ZZ Top twice , Aerosmith in 74 when they were the warm up band for the guess who. Nobody really knew who they were. Anyway you get it. You name a big name band I’ve probably seen them Pink Floyd, BTO, The the two big names I never saw was Hendrix and the Beatles because I was to young when they were touring. Started going to concerts in 1973, I’m 60 now.
Thanks for taking your time and effort to make this video available. Your teaching style is friendly and approachable. Ted would be the first to tell you that attitude is more important than absolute accuracy of notes on this one, and your tutelage certainly puts the new learners squarely in the ballpark for cranking out the beginning of this song! One of my favorite parts is when the drums first come in... it's like the fuse burning just before the rock explosion! Definitely one of the most joyous riffs to just blast out at on 11! I'm one of those people who have to claw my way to guitar fretboard perfection, every inch of the way is a struggle. I need to be shown how to do most of my soloing. In this instance I will be following your easy to understand instruction on this opening riff and I'm certain I will be delighted with the results. Rock on!
Ted always talks about the right hand challenge and palm muting and anchoring the right hand it's all in the right hand he tells me. He has given me some personal lessons that I have posted really cool stuff. Nice lesson !
Thanks Damon! Awesome stuff from Ted. Yeah, his right hand is really, really good. Many players and teachers discourage anchoring today. I still do it, though don't claim I do it anywhere near Ted's quality! Thanks for the comment!
After hearing a little slice of that on your hot rails install video, I had to have more and figure out how to play it! Ted's right! Even if ya play it a little wrong, if the distortion is cranked, it's loud, and the crowd is half buzzed, nobody will ever notice! Lol👍😎🎸🎶
MARK! I did it! For a second I let it happen and did the 'exploding part.' Stranglehold was one of my early songs too. But I never made it sound right until this minute 45 years later. It's a little dream come true, as your lesson often offer.
New sub.. such a good song. I’ve only been playing for about 5 months but practice for hours everyday can’t put it down n it’s only just a squier bullet lol so mad I waited til 29 years old it’s what I’ve been missing. Thank you for your lesson will be tuning in for more sir.
Mark Zabel thanks a lot I like to do half step down tuning is this song in standard or E flat tuning? Sounds decent in e flat but wonder if I should tune up to standard or our most songs interchangeable since they are such close tuning? Thanks for response
Thanks, I like the interpretation. But if someone is looking to play as Ted played the riff, I am not sure that this sounds correct. I listened to the opening riff isolated guitar, and all I can hear in the open riff is 2 strings open A, and finger on D string, 7th fret. I do not hear any E (9th fret on G) being played at all in the opening first few strums at all.
Thanks for taking the time to show the "explosive" part , I've been trying to work that out for a while. I also had the honor of wearing out an 8 track of Double Live Gonzo ! :)
You bet. As well as I can play it anyway. Most of the time I see it the pull-off on the 2nd string 12th to 10th fret is missing. If you see some of Ted's videos you can clearly see him doing that pull off. You know something funny? Hibernation was actually the first song I ever played at a live event. I played a battle of the bands in 9th grade at the high school and we played Hibernation. Odd choice in retrospect, but yeah, that's what we did. Always loved Great White Buffalo from that album too!
Could your guitar blow the balls of charging rhino at 60 paces ?? LoL In all seriousness that's quite a song to tackle at 14 or 15 did you use a hollow body to get that howl ?
LOL! No, all I had was a Les Paul copy back then. Did the trick though ... facing the amp about 6" in front of it, stomping on my MXR Distortion pedal - the only pedal I had. Most likely the sound was pretty terrible, but we all thought it was good at the time. Kids today don't know how good they have it with equipment. I sure didn't have a few grand to shell out for a Byrdland or even a decent amp!
Not to take away anything from another one of your great lessons but, as for the opening riff, ByrdmanSteve has a great way of getting your fingers wrapped around it.
Hi Mark, nice work on a CLASSIC ROCKER, I recall back in the day { about" who actually wrote" the song !!!! } when Derek spoke up on the issue, " uncle Teds cockyness" went something like " this is THE TED NUGENT BAND" ............... .,.,;';...,, in other words u will get very little or 0 credit. could say more, but Ted is who he is, great lesson /peace\Jay.
Jay M Yes, he is who he is. Huge egotist for sure, but not the only one in Rock and roll. Derek was a really good singer. Ted's best stuff IMHO, came when Derek was singing.
I think I'll pass on the outro. I'm not big on outro solos - at least not from the POV of trying to play anything close to note for note. They're about improvising and just going nuts! (but check this lesson out I just did a while back on a different outro: ruclips.net/video/-mP1iDexctw/видео.html) One of the neat things about the Stranglehold outro, which is that there are two guitars playing different lines and ending up at different points in time. Kind of neat.
Ted sure uses them liberally throughout this song. I learned them from Led Zeppelin I, but only because I bought LZ I before I had Double Live Gonzo! I *did* play Hibernation when I was in 9th grade in my high school's battle of the bands though.
That gold top its badass bro, i want a gibson and i dont know wich one to buy if the gold top or the black whit gold hardware (i think its the lp custom or something like that)
I always wanted a goldtop with mini humbuckers. This is a model that they made in 2012. The pickups aren't the original Gibson mini hums, but they're more like Firebird mini's. This is a 1970's Tribute model. I love it, and I think I got lucky with a good one. And I got it for a relative steal too. I like the black with gold hardware too. Matter of taste.
Ted Rocks!! hey Mark ... CCR... I've been wanting to nail run thru da jungle... I think it works out better in standard D tuning .. What sayest thou? John's vids show him all over the place so I count them null. Some say drop d some open. To hot to fish... but I'm goin anywho.. ! Ain't got ta big lake here, just a bunch of mud puddles in Ky...lol
Hey man! Run Through the Jungle - you got it. I went fishing this morning, but most of the creeks are still way overflowed. Last year we had a terrible drought (worst in 200 years) and this year more rain than we can handle. Plus a couple of years ago bass all over this area had bad winter kill. Oh well, I still caught a few nice smallies, one good bucket-mouth and several great fall-fish. So it's not a total loss. BTW, I really liked the way you handled that pompous dude commenting on Aqualung. Funny thing to me that he went off on our "not understanding British humor" but clearly didn't understand your comment and its joking tone. Some people just take themselves way too seriously. Have a great Sunday and rest of the week my friend!
GEEEZE ya! Don't know how that would set someone off hey.? did not see that one commin... Just scored a " new to me" daiwa baitcaster and rod for a ten spot at a local flee market.... equipped with florescent line and a chartreuse buzz bait... I gotta get out today the weather just cooled down about 20 degree down here. seen a video of ccr playin born on the bayou at woodstock that video is great Yeah, Run Thru the Jungle Mark... you tubee needs you to break it down... thanks :)
Hey. I recently used this video to learn this song, and it helped but my guitar doesn't sound right cause I can't manage to get Ted's tone. Do you know what you used during this video?
Glad it was helpful. This was a long time ago, but usually my setup is very, very simple. One of these 2: 1. Amp lead channel, low to moderate gain, tiny amount of reverb, tiny amount of compression, bass/mid/treble to taste. 2. Amp clean channel, OD pedal with low gain, tiny amount of reverb, tiny amount of compression, bass/mid/treble to taste. Try backing your gain/distortion way down and slowly adding a bit until you're happy with the tone. Hope that helps.
HEY MARK, What model guitar is that? I played the same model... fat headstock, no binding, mini humbuckers and LOVED it. But, I have no idea of year or model. Do you know?? BTW... as usual, excellent and fun(ny)!
Hi and thanks! It's a Gibson 1970s Tribute Les Paul. I think it's a 2012. As far as I know the mini humbuckers were only used one year. I love it, but purists might not. The neck is fairly chunky and the body is weight relieved. My back can't take the super-heavy LP's anymore, so it suits me.
Nah, high on life is all brother! Just remembering all the crazy times in a Detroit high school, playing this stuff with everybody going nuts. Good times. Definitely had fun with it.
Hi Bill. Best to keep it simple: Humbucker guitar directly to amp with moderate gain (or overdrive pedal with just a little gain). Add a little reverb and maybe a touch of compression. The key is to not overdo the gain. Let your fingers do the talking!
Great lesson Mark but to play Stranglehold properly you really need a Gibson Byrdland and most importantly you gotta be shirtless wearing a loincloth with a racoon's tail. 😁😁😁
I'm not sure. Practice by putting a tuner on the headstock and making sure you match the right note. Also, vibrato at the top of the bend helps ... but not so much with unison bends.
Actually, teds guitars are worn out from his supporting fingers to anchor his picking hand... not from his pick. Ya cant pick like him if your missing strings & picking ineffeciently
@@MarkZabel "Sorry" as in I mean no offense...but... Ted always plays the entire intro on the 5 and 7th frets with a muted picking hand and a burst of pulloffs. He never plays any chords in the intro on the 7 and 9th fret. Watch any of his vids entirely on the 5th and 7th.
Okay, I understand where you're coming from. Never is a strong word brother. But you're right about the live videos I found. Could be the overtones I hear I suppose. The only vids I see are of him playing live. Haven't seen the video of his recording it for the 1975 album. To me it's a moot point. If you think it sounds right playing only strings 5 and 4, keep it to that. That's cool. Thanks for the post.
Dude's Great Player Teacher ! ! !
Thank you Christopher. I appreciate the good vibes brother!!

The key is to not overdo the gain. Let your fingers do the talking!

Thanks! Yes, it's a 2012 1970s Tribute. The pickups are closer to Firebird minis. Love 'em.

@@MarkZabel both are 2 of tge best an my favorites
E on the 9th fret 3rd string - why would you teach it that was when Ted doesn't play it that way?!?
.
Why do my bends sound so bad like it never matches the B string? Sounds so flat
I'm not sure. Practice by putting a tuner on the headstock and making sure you match the right note. Also, vibrato at the top of the bend helps ... but not so much with unison bends.
Actually, teds guitars are worn out from his supporting fingers to anchor his picking hand... not from his pick. Ya cant pick like him if your missing strings & picking ineffeciently
Da comrade. If you're missing strings and picking inefficiently, you can't pick like Uncle Ted.
That intro is not correct. Sorry.
Why are you sorry? That's kind of bizarre that *you* would be sorry brother. In any event, my ears say otherwise. Enlighten me!
@@MarkZabel "Sorry" as in I mean no offense...but... Ted always plays the entire intro on the 5 and 7th frets with a muted picking hand and a burst of pulloffs. He never plays any chords in the intro on the 7 and 9th fret. Watch any of his vids entirely on the 5th and 7th.
Okay, I understand where you're coming from. Never is a strong word brother. But you're right about the live videos I found. Could be the overtones I hear I suppose. The only vids I see are of him playing live. Haven't seen the video of his recording it for the 1975 album. To me it's a moot point. If you think it sounds right playing only strings 5 and 4, keep it to that. That's cool. Thanks for the post.
@@MarkZabel No worries! Thanks for the time and the vid.
Great playing but the riff is not meant to be play like that.
