My first concert ever was PM and Wings in Sept 76 at the Cow Palace in SF. Wanted them to play this so bad but not that night. Got totally mesmerized by Jimmy McCulloch he played so well that night and I became a fan. So underrated and gone too soon. Thanks JJ for the flashback.
Hey JJ. I just picked up the guitar a year ago. I just wanted to thank you for the work you do to give us free content, it does not go unnoticed. I'm a massive Jimmy Page fan, and when I started learning his songs with Led Zeppelin, your videos have been my go-to. Again, just wanted to extend my gratitude to you, thanks JJ, you rock.
I always loved Junior's Farm. I recorded a cover of it on my TASCAM 4-track cassette - before I really knew what anyone on the record was doing. LOL! I DID get the descending guitar part, at the ending part correct (after, "Right now!)... and Jimmy's solo, of course. Love Paul's bass in particular.
Paul and Linda McCartney wrote “Junior’s Farm” as an homage to Claude “Curly” Putman, Jr., who’s farm they were staying at in Lebanon, Tennessee, along with Wings, in 1974. The band recorded the song at Nashville’s Sound Shop and released it as the A-side to a 7” single backed with “Sally G” in October, and the song went to number three on the U.S. charts.The real Junior’s Farm looks much today like it did when the McCartneys made their Tennessee sojourn 37 years ago. A few miles down a winding country road off of I-40 highway, you pull up to a wrought iron fence. A large pond is set in a slope near the road and a long driveway winds up to a stately white house on a hill. It was not too long after the success of 1965’s “The Green, Green Grass of Home” that Curly Putman, a young writer and plugger with Nashville publisher Tree, and his wife, Bernice, and their son, Troy, bought and moved into the farm. Curly also wrote "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
I remember when this came out and I liked it right away. I thought it would be a big commercial hit but not so much. This and let me roll it are my favorite songs by him in the seventies. Oh yeah live and let die and Rock Show.
U got that right, I haven't listened to anything he has done since Venus and Mars.....'Standing in the hall of the great cathedral...'.....it is fuckin great !
This is weird. JJ are you wired into your subscribers' brains or what - I was trying to play this a few days ago! Great song. Lennon wasn't the only Beatle who could rock.
Thanks for this, James. As someone who's just come to grips with scales I really appreciate it when you point them out. It's making learning the solo bits and pieces so much easily to grasp. Love this song and your demonstration of the technical bits. As a big McCartney fan, could I ask that you cover "Let me roll it"? Thanks again :-)
Bro, I've been playin that lead for decades, but on D G & B, the part your bending the note on? I hit that on 'B'....IDK which is correct, but the way I play it sounds a bit more correct/closer(?)......where did you find sheet music to this? I just copied the original record.
hey James, Did you ever hear the song "Sour milk seas" by Jackie Lomax? it was written by Paul , George and Eric Clapton. Pretty good riff.. definitely has a Beatles sound to it. Check it out.
Rolling stone magazine reviewed RAM in ‘71 and called it a “very bad album that is inconsequential and monumentally irrelevant” In 2012 the same magazine reviewed the rereleased delux addition of RAM and gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars for its “divine melodies “ Rolling stone mag is funny like that-
Hey james, can u help me with a q-neil young and yourself for tht matter -when u play a bm or a cm with the thumb over do u hit the a string or just mute it?
@@richat1691 For Bm or Cm, ideally you'd play JUST the A string and NOT the low E, which adds the V of the chord. Which while not necessarily bad, will sometimes sound muddy/murky/too much bass. The thumb-over technique is great when the root is on the low E string. But when you're playing an A-shape or A-minor-shape chord, the root is on the fifth (A) string. So on those, some people who really love the thumb-over will use it on those chords. I don't, I use an index-finger bar and usually avoid the low E string. (Unless it's Stooges or Ramones or something where low end plus distortion can't be bad.)

I always loved Junior`s Farm too, it just rocks! Thanks for that James!
Good one. I remember when it came out on the radio. I thought yeah Paul still knows how to write a rock ‘n’ roll song.
Another great lesson, thank you. My kid loves this song and kicks the back of my chair in time to it when it comes on the radio in the car.
One of my favorite Wings songs. Saw McCartney play it in Detroit.

What a story. !!
Jimmy McCullough wss a great player studio and live. Loved Live Wings.
I only play acoustic but I watch all your videos because I enjoy your love of music and your love of the guitar..IT IS GREAT TO SEE...BE WELL James
Recorded in Nashville TN. Fun fact. Paul premiered the song at a guitar pulling at Johnny Cash's house on acoustic.
Never stop uploading

Brilliant! Nicely played and great breakdown on the chords and your lead soloing. Thanks!
I believe this is Paul McCartney great tune # 4,978.
Actually this is Number Eleven. Although you're right, he does have that many 😃
Love this song!
Yes! Been waiting for this number! Thanks!
You’ve been knocking em out man.
Just what I needed to learn. Just what I needed to play. Just what I needed to hear.
So many clever flourishes and pull-offs on this one.
James James + RUclips = GREAT!!!😎✌
Expanded the hell out of my repertoire and mastery.
That freaky suspended F chord does sound right.
Great song choices ...
Thank you, James
Touch of metal, cool video!
Awesome. Another great one!
Great song! Back when macca was still cool.
When was he not cool? Lol.
U got that right, I haven't listened to anything he has done since Venus and Mars.....'Standing in the hall of the great cathedral...'.....it is fuckin great !

Wicked Wings!
Thank you. Great job
Very good
And of course you used the Red Gibson SG because of Jimmy McCulloch. I bought one because of him. :-)
Great player. Loved his style. Shame what happened to him. He was a natural. 🎸

I could post Let Me Roll It, but it probably wouldn't be very different from the version I posted a couple years ago.
@@jamesjames9275 Cool, thanks! I'll check it out.
That is a cool guitar fill. That sus chord is cool as well....
I have problem keeping my G string in tune too. Annoys the hell outta me...
Recorded in Nashville......

I posted a demo a few years ago.
can't believe I missed it..Thanks James
No slap echo. Cool
Do you have some graphite for your nut issue?

Rolling stone mag is funny like that-
hey bro, can u reupload the helen wheels video? its unavailable for me for no reason.... is it got deleted?
Sorry, it was deleted by RUclips.
What's in your signal chain? sound is huge
Just straight into a Peavey Vypyr 100.
Hey james, can u help me with a q-neil young and yourself for tht matter -when u play a bm or a cm with the thumb over do u hit the a string or just mute it?
It depends on the song. Sometimes, it depends on the guitar. If it’s a massive neck, you might not fret the A string cleanly with your thumb.
Cheers , i can only mute it on an acoustic, and i was wondering how others get on, sounds pretty similar though i guess.

Hey what's the opening solo? ☮️
Search for my demo version.
Kinda kool?
So tasty
It’s not an Fmin at the beginning
I’m not sure what video you’re watching, but I don’t play an Fmin in this whole song, let alone at the beginning.
QUE VIVA ESPAÑA!!!🎶
