On The Loose - Saga. Guitar Cover KDA

Hey all! Planning a tutorial for this fantastic track from the early eighties. Figured that I would do a cover first, just for fun. One of my favorite songs of all time.
Hope you enjoy. KDA

I remember buying their first album in 78 or 79 right before I joined the Navy. What a great era for music.

Not many folks out there know this hidden Gem of a song from 1981.

Having been an adolescent when this song first released, forgot about it until now. And now I've got an odd obsession with this cover. Great playing, that solo section is spectacular.

Bravo KDA - F'ing love this! Watch all your videos - amazing playing all around! Thanks for the great content!

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words very much.

I love Saga, I think my favorite album was Security of Illusion. Newer stuff , but guitar is killer. Maybe a future video of how you program your sound? Great performance.

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

This one has always been a favorite of mine. Never learned it. Heard it this morning while I was having my coffee, and thought, "I'm gonna learn that today!" Great track. Ian Crichton is a beast of a player.

[@chiparooo]

Always been a great song! Awesome cover. Especially liked the chromatic runs in the solo. Nailed it! Thanks for sharing!

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Man, I worked on that and worked on that, and couldn't get it to sound right. Then it hit me, "I bet it's chromatic!". Sure enough.

"On the Loose"? Wow, it's cool to see people covering rock's unknown bands out there. I saw the video a few times on MTV back in the early '80s, but that was a lifetime ago.
Thanks!

[@AB-is4ms]

So excited to start learning this! One of my favorite songs ever

[@n.c.varner9572]

As usual, you never fail to impress me.

[@darthvaydr]

Love this song! Great job man!

[@kg4st]

Such a great tune. It's cool to see how guitar contributes to songs that we don't think of as guitar songs. Lots of good stuff there.

[@TheAceneagles]

Excited for the tutorial for this one. Cheers from Halifax!

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Thanks man! Cheers right back to you from Halifax as well.

[@01weskus]

Whoa! Saga rarity spotted. I wanna learn that now

[@AntonioCavicchioni]

Finally! Thanks!

[@jasinhbca1713]

Wow, haven't heard this song in a LONG time. Nice pick and great job ! And your tone was spot on.

[@davekogut8511]

Great song. I cant get above 90 bpm without falling apart! Great Job, again!

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Yeah, there's some quick little licks and scale runs in this. A fantastic solo. Love it.

[@lukestacy9302]

Great tune and playing!

[@patrickaskey1965]

You always cover the best classic rock songs

[@drywizardinc]

Sick dude! Love it

[@MrRoybob]

Growing up in Puerto Rico in the 80’s this song was HUGE. Awesome job!

[@artytoney2057]

[@briansalerno3773]

[@markbaum9615]

Forgot how cool those riffs were .....
Sounds like loverboy...with better guitar

[@KellyDeanAllenGuitar]

Saga were soooo much better than Loverboy, haha.

[@arthurhall8238]

Great tune...FYI - you are missing his slides up to the high notes on the chorus!
