This was magical for my brain. Sooo good to hear an acoustic analysis and hear it broken down chord by chord after listening to it 1000 times as a kid.
Another brilliant lesson - cool octaves! Marco added so much to the Ants sound. Punk distortion with Duane Eddy licks for good measure - brilliant! Thank you!
Love it. I always remembered the verse spelling out D-E-A-D. I think you nailed the chorus section. And that solo must have been inspired by Marc Bolan? I wish your channel got more views due to your hard work and dedication.
Thank you for your continued support. It is a passion project for me, and if people find it, then that is great. If not, well, I will still do the work to preserve this music for generations to come.
You have put out almost the entire Adam catalog for us! I can't thank you enough!! There's only 1 request I have left. It's "No Zap" off Viva Le Rock. I know it's a super easy song and I could probably figure it out but you'd do it perfect where I would maybe mess it up. If you would cool if not no worries. You've given me alot of work already! Lol 😆
Massive fan of Marco, got some great geetar licks! He mentioned Prince Charming guitar was some of his cleverest work electric part that is and chord changes understated humble genius in my eyes 👍
This is great and I really appreciate it. Pretty new to actually playing the guitar a little better even though I've had one for over 30 years 😂 (thanks Covid for the spare time!). Could you elaborate on your amp spec? You mention you don't use pedals but you sound great, I need an amp like that 😁 Thanks again for this and other totorials.
Hi Rik, I appreciate the very nice words. For all of the videos, I use a Yamaha THR10X amp. No pedals or effects. I have probably 30 pedals but I simple don't need them for the videos. I think this is the best desktop amp there is. Very cheap, and infinitely customizable with software (which I do not use). I use the "Southern Hi" amp model with a little delay and reverb. This amp model simulates a 6L6 preamp for "a heavy metal" sound, according to the user manual. I think the P90s on my LP Special are a big part of the sound, too.
Great stuff;-) This was the first single I ever bought when it came out. I always wondered about the wonky D chord. Your fix is about as good as you can get but yeah, pretty sure it's a tape thing. It's a bit more subtle
Strange that I haven't seen your video enlightening us all on the correct way to play it. But as you know so much about guitar, I certainly don't need to tell you that it is an instrument on which the same notes can be played in different places, and that some players prefer chords and notes in one location over another.
That documentary is really depressing to watch. I saw it years ago and rewatch it now and again. Have you seen this? ruclips.net/video/ZdgDTLW6-I8/видео.html
@@guitarraguitarraguitarra I actually bumped into Marco about 12 years ago, when I last visited London. He was on his was into the Forbidden Planet bookshop (a big comic fan, apparently). Managed to restrain myself and not 'fanboy'!

Thanks, man!
Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I've been playing this wrong for decades 🐜
Very welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome thank you

Man you keep them coming fast...! Much appreciated, as always.
There are a lot of songs and they are easy and fun to do. Can't wait to do more and more. Thanks for the support!!!
These are truly excellent! So happy I found your channel. Thank you thank you!
Thank you!!!
I 👍 agree. I love this lesson. And..your Gibson!
Thanks, man. I have 20 guitars, and one of the last additions was that $500 Gibson....and it is the one I play the most now.

@@jeffrobodeenyehcmon5925 Hey man, I am going to do every album track. Keep your eyes peeled.
I'm not a guitar player, but i found that super interesting! Subscribed to see what else ya got.
I appreciate that, man!
You did it get it right!!!! Birds Fly / Icicle Works has no correct videos as well. Would love to see you tackle that one
Is that a band or a song?

Marco is one of the best guitar players to ever live. He is the essence of what music is about.
Thanks for this .

Exactly. You can hear on a few live tracks that Marco tries to emulate it, but it was definitely a tape thing. Thanks again for the support.
Ant fan perfect big guy!
Have you covered table talk?
Yep, just go to the Ant playlist. This plus another 100 songs there.
Strange that i can't find one live performance where Marco plays it that way. In every performance I've seen he plays it different.

Charming revue? Or Live in Tokyo maybe 👍
@@ericcurrie5397 I am going to avoid the live shows. I will do all the album/b-side/unreleased tracks and then that will be it for the Ant stuff.
Yep I was playing it wrong for 40yrs.
Strees / bend the neck a little to get the tape effect.
Hard pass on that! Maybe with a bolt-on neck but I am not doing that with my precious Special.
Another great tutorial!

@@kevinedw2002 Aye, I got their first EP right when it was released. I remember not loving it.
It seems easy. It's not.
YOU CAN DO EEEEEEEET!
