    This is the first tutorial that gets it right, and how Ted plays this awesome tune. You have to aggressively attack the strings, to bring out those chords. Great video. The lead most people get wrong as well.

    Rob Grange was one of the most under rated bass players of the time. I remember when the first solo Nugent album dropped in 75'. Meatloafs vocal work on Free for All was stunning also. Great job on this track, it's certainly a classic.

    Just discovered your channel.....liking it alot!.. I'm two years older than you, so 70's were and still are my love! I really didn't go to the metal (maybe Tesla) but went the other direction, lots of Blues(SRV), and things I missed in the 60's. Growing up in Memphis(70"S) were Awesome!. Having a very similar story with the guitar and Life...back to loving it again! I believe many people our age are!! Again, loving the channel...saw some Gary Moore...but Thin Lizzy, early Alice Cooper??...that's some good guitar! Cheers!!

    In my day our band played about 3-4 songs of his. Cat scratch fever, storm trooper, strangle hold, and the best song Ted ever had from a guitar perspective is Hey Baby. Now even today that’s a tasty guitar tune. Alas I loathe everything about that person today.

  • @JoeCamel-fn7dl
    @JoeCamel-fn7dl 6 месяцев назад

    I didn’t hear you play the whole song but from what I did hear it is exactly like Ted plays it. Now a few years back, I believe it was a RUclips video of Ted playing strangle hold at some school or something. Before he started , Ted in his Alpha male attitude, said, “If anyone can play this I will b..w you.” He likely knew no other self respecting alpha male rocker would want that, but maybe some hard working transvestite would take him up on that offer. Sometimes it’s better not to say anything. Ted can jam. Hearing him pick up a guitar and start jamming off the top of his head for 10 minutes straight is what makes him so good, and I doubt if anyone else can play that! But stranglehold ain’t that hard to play.

  • @brentlythebartender
    @brentlythebartender 5 месяцев назад

    Ted said that Stranglehold is a mimmick of Bo Diddley's version of Hand Jive. I can hear it. :)

  • @STVG71
    @STVG71 8 месяцев назад

    I never saw Ted in concert but I did see Damn Yankees in 89 or 90 and after their final song, Ted breaks out the opening to Stranglehold and falls to the ground and keeps it going. The audience starts going wild and then he was drug off the stage by his suspenders while still playing the lick. They never played the song much to the disappointment to everyone in attendance.

  • @wave3193
    @wave3193 Месяц назад
