This song got me playing guitar. When I heard that third note hang in the solo I knew I wanted to learn to play guitar. The Guess Who is one of my all time favorites
Great Canadian story! Another interesting story about the song- You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet- Randy's brother Garry has a stutter when he talks that's where Randy got the idea to use the stutter on " B-,b-,b-, baby, you just ain't seen na, na, nothing yet" lyric in the song. Also I would like to thank you not only for the time & effort you put into your tutorial videos but also on your effort on detail and getting the song down right ! In my opinion hands down best videos that I've seen in this category! 🇨🇦
Ok ay
I'm Canadian
This is such an underrated channel, keep up the phenomenal work sir! Request: Gary Clark jr - please come home .. thank you!!
This is one of the best lessons I have seen. You do a great job of explaining everything.
Thank you so much. I just worked through this today and can actually play this!!! You are an awesome teacher. I had to look up what the harmonic even was. (I've only been playing for about 7 months)
it does sound great!...can't wait to practice this. Thanks!
This is great. Thank you so much for the lesson man
After all these years, you turn on the light and it becomes so easy and simple. Thank you for the breakdown of the song. Open G...(Guess) who would of thought?
Thanks BRO - Great lesson!! Live you I have been playing the main lick for 40 + years and I never knew how to play the intro.
Enjoyed that very much! Thanks. Very helpful.
Like all stories, by the time it got to you, it had changed from what actually happened . You got the general gist right.
You can find Randy telling his version on You Tube, as well as Burton Cummings telling it how he remembers.
I Love your lessons, please keep up the good work.
thanks for putting out the intro, and the open G tip too!
thats fab man. cant wait for the solo... don't make us wait too long. cheers 😎
Great, it's so really easy and amazing tune in open G.
On point with the open G dude. I love the busted string story, I saw BB King bust a string on stage and he just replaced it with ease while still picking like it was nothing
Wow. That guitar sounds awesome. Thanks. Great lesson.
Love open tunings.
Will Kupers Taylor’s are good like that. It’s a Taylor kind of thing
Never seen this channel before but this really helped with this song. I'll be sure to check your other vids 😁
Great lesson! So much easier in open G tuning. Now I just need my electric for the rest of the song.
Thanks for a great lesson
Great lesson. Great channel. Thanks.
That was clear and great.
you make it look so easy!
Nice. You are the man.
Great story and demo.
Awesome lesson, Great channel, Amazing skills. Greetings from Idaho! Request: The Guess Who: No Sugar
Thanks and cheers
Great lesson! As a Canadian though, you should pronounce Bachman's name like Randy does himself: BACKman. :)
Excellent!
Cool story to a cool song,thanks
thank you, i had it standard,sounded good, but not like in g , made sense. the music is much more in other tunings
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏☝👌🔝👍 you're the man 😎
Brilliant
Great lesson as usual!! Do you think the rhythm part can also be played in open G by barring the A& D strings at the 4th, 7th , and 9th frets ? You can still get the full sound on the 7th & 9th frets by doing a one finger full barre. What is your thought on this? JG
Awesome!! One of my favorite intros ever. never heard anyone play it before. thanks man!!! such a great song. sure Lenny kravitz did an ok job on it but just doesn't have that same feel as the original. Some folks improve originals and some ruin them. thanks again.
Thank you for sharing a bit of history behind this classic tune.
well open G and there are 3 guitars in it live with Burtin solo
Im impressed by how he used open g
At the time of this recording...68 i believe, it wasnt done alot in rock music yet...in fact even keith hadnt really started using it
And he started in open e and open d first jack flash,prodigal son, oh , and street fghtn man . But i cant think of anybody else at that time that did play in open g yet
And it took a canadian lol just sayin....i could be wrong tho
Thanks so much for teaching this song.
It's one of my favourites.
I've seen lessons for this but not as good as this.
Great Lesson. Thank you so much.
Yes , the Guess Who were the first Canadian band to have a #1 hit in America and ironically, the did it with an anti - American song . Johnny G
Open G.
Dang, who knew it was that simple. Sneaky Randy.
Lester Burnham liked this! 😃
Epic.....
A great tutorial and it's easier playing it in "Open G". Thank you .
So, on the electric part where you played the solo, what were you using to get that tone? It's very similar to the original... thanks!
Awesome!!
Great lesson...Is that a Taylor right? 314CE? what model?
That’s what the tab book says. 👍
Excellent
Can you able to play Love me somebody by Bad company
.... from Victoria, BC. nice to see some Canadian content. Love your tutorials. Thank you. ( ps, what about Chilliwack's "Raino" ?)
I’m Dringa vlogs
I’m completely blind, autistic and have a chronic heart condition.
When I was a child in the nineties, I LOVED this song because when I was a child, I used to think that the acoustic guitar in the intro, sounded like it was saying “daindy daindy daindy daindy.”
Now that I’m an adult and realize that guitars don’t have mouths nor vocal cords, guess what?
I still think it sounds like it’s saying “daindy daindy daindy daindy.”
I have a youtube channel.

Yes, blind people can make videos do to screen-reading technology.
We’re actually smarter than you might imagine.
can u show us a demo before u start the video so we can see wat it sounds before i try to learn the song
Rather easy (for him) but my fingers don't agree when I try to do just that intro. LOL
Fala muito.
agree
I broke hundreds of strings to date, when am I going to get a major hit song out of it. I'm on my way to break another one now. lol
I think it would have been appropriate to specify that this acoustic intro is from the Led Zeppelin's cover of the song.
✌️✌️🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍👍👍👍
More to the story they were going to cross the border but heard that they could possibly get drafted for the war in Nam since they had green cards so they went back to Canada and found another place to play on the fly. Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/f2AJNs-4v7k/видео.html
That's not correct about the beginning of how the song started.
Lenny should have never touched it.
No shit he became a Mormon . Good luck with that bud, it's like rehab but everyone's already a square
