I'm a hack guitarist but it brings me great joy. I'm self-taught which is why I'm a hack. There are very few teachers that I seem to click with. I'm grateful I found your channel. It's made a difference. Thank you and keep it up.
I’m 5 years in learning guitar. I’m 63 now. This was my first faster, more complicated song requiring me to relax and play with confidence. It has been shelved for a couple of years and I am now going to take a deep dive and relearn this. I am looking forward to this now I have more skill. Thanks Kelly Dean
Thanks Kelly just time travelled back 40 years. Awesome playing and teaching...finally have a good chance of getting this solo correct..better late than never lol Just realised ...it's not 40 but 50 years oh man....
Great song, love your videos and your dedication to teaching. I had the good luck to go backstage before a Tull concert. While Ian and the rest of the band were eating dinner, Martin was sitting off by himself just wailing on some blues licks. A very memorable moment. Thanks for all you do!
here’s the thing. ever since the introduction of pencil and paper, repetition is less important than accuracy. take your time, eliminate some repetition, make fewer mistakes, and you’ll save time on the final production by not hurrying. having said that, i love your dedication to accuracy, eventually. i think the only guitar teacher on youtube who just doesn’t stumble is david brewster. i believe that man lives inside a guitar neck and only pokes his head out on february 2nd.
Kelly, when i have an afternoon, im going to sit down with this lesson and my guitar and really get into learning this. Thank you so much. Also, when i heard you play it, it sounded so freakin great! Awesome!
Thanx to u got this well first half note perfect can't wait to finish solo and play it .Loved this song since I seen the elves play it at the beach Dio , Rocky on guitar ,I was 15. Damn time fly's
The Aqualung riff is without question one of the top-five guitar riffs of all time. Much of it's brilliance is in how truly odd it is. It kinda reminds me of the Godzilla riff by Blue Öyster Cult, in that it's somewhat counterintuitive (Black Dog, The Ocean, and The Rover by Led Zeppelin are a few other examples among many) -- Blues-based, yet curious.
Thanks Mark! I'm my own worst critic and I'm always second guessing whether I suck at this or not, haha. Good to hear some positive feedback. Appreciate it.
This epic has a solo that should never be played half ass. Martin Barre played the chord changes perfectly and anything less than that wouldn’t be ear pleasing. I read that while he was playing this take, Jimmy Page walked into the control room and started waving at him, trying to get him to wave back. He just smiled at him and kept playing.

fantastic de-/re-construction, inspiring and helpful for this olde fiddler to get more of that great MB solo

A combination of Minor Pentatonic, and Chord Tone Targeting, is what I'm Hearing?!?!🤔🤔🤔
Even though I can't play it yet, the guitar solo in Aqualung is one the best ever!! In my opinion ☮❤☮
This is great! Thank you so much!
My pleasure man!
This video is awesome I am currently learning it right now!
Very nice lesson. Thank you
I just gotta say that all your videos are so good . Not to mention your playing is impeccable. Just saying.
Thanks Mark! I'm my own worst critic and I'm always second guessing whether I suck at this or not, haha. Good to hear some positive feedback. Appreciate it.
Alright very cool,, time to learn,, thank you KDA

Great lesson but I wish you would have addressed the strumming pattern on the acoustic portion.
thank you
Stellar job, my friend! (Although it would be helpful if you were to explain the underlying chords during the solo.)

hey, qualify what you say by saying in my opinion
i may have missed it, how is your electric guitar tuned for this ole relic...
Standard tuning.
@@KellyDeanAllenGuitar thanks!
He sure loves to say Martin Barr
I was hoping I could play it without a capo.
Just play it out
yep i missed it... standard tuning. Glasses help
Too much talking introduction....very boring...
