What a fantastic lesson for a classic hit!! I am fortunate to have seen Bryan Adams for the Reckless tour in early 1985. The venue was Massey Hall in Toronto Canada. Sitting ten rows back, this 3000 seat theatre is renowned for its intimacy and amazing acoustics. What a concert; what beautiful memories from such an innocent time in our lives. Thanks again for bringing us this wonderful lesson…it’s spot on!! Cheers.
I've only just started to get into your channel and it's great. After nearly fifteen years of not playing (wife, kids, job etc) you're an absolute inspiration. Thank you ever so much.
Playing Bryan Adam in your cover band was a requirement back then. We switched from metal to pop and suddenly the audience got a whole lot cuter ;-) BTW, that's a killer, dead-on, tone you got there. Nice video.
Bryan was also on the soundtrack of my youth (we are of a similar age I think). Great quick riff lesson as always. Love your playing and you are always inspiring. God bless and rock on 🎸😎👍
This was the second video I have watched since discovering your channel. I just subscribed. I came for the lessons but am staying for all the personal insight and experiences you share. So awesome to hear these inside stories while you teach an old guy how to play! My first Bryan Adams show was back in the early 80's at Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum. His hits then were Let me take you dancing and Fits ya good. He was the opener for Loverboy which were huge at that time.
Hi Dan.. thanks for this.. really nice to hear you enjoy my style of video. I get some criticism that I talk too much, which I do, hahaha, but I’m a chatty person and enjoy talking music. I’m glad you’ve subscribed.. thank you so much.. and Bryan is a legend!!
I think you over complicated the explanation of key and key changes Jamie. The song is in F# minor is it not ?, not E major so it’s the one chord and D major belongs, and so is relevant and diatonic. The B chord in verse is the perfect 4th so can be either can’t it? The solo just changes to an F# major instead of the minor for a different flavour and is its parallel major , other chords in solo are in key.
I don't think I have. Yes its F# minor, but functioning as chord II of E major. F# minor chord II, A major chord IV, B major chord V. You say F# is the I chord, so you're saying its in F# natural minor, which yes give you a D major and an A major chord, but in this key you have a B minor. So I'm not sure what you're getting at. B major is not in any way relative to D major, it contains a D#. So you say B is a perfect 4th of F# minor, correct, but diatonically this would result in a B minor, not B major if treating F# minor as chord 1 or chord VI. So The song is effectively in E major. I'm a key centre player. The song uses pivotal chords. and yes the solo section is in F# major, but again there are shared chords. My way isn't over complicated, its just way of looking at it that works for me. But the verse is 100% E major, its a II, IV, V progression.
I get where you’re coming from but it’s confusing to others! I’m not sure they were thinking this when writing it. The B could be a subdominant and it’s also quite common to use the 4 chord in a minor key as a major in pop music. I’m sure they were just fooling around with the shape and it sounded cool especially with the open d string ringing and it doesn’t scream major anyway, it just flows from the F# minor. Thanks for the video though, great song!
@@pk952totally agree!! I very much doubt they were thinking this stuff. I’ve been analysing and breaking music down this way in Guitar Techniques magazine for 30 years next year. It’s just my approach, everyone’s different. But yes it’s a great tune!! Thanks for the debate 😊🎸
What’s your favourite Bryan Adam’s riff?
It’s definitely Run To You! I played that so many times in club and pub bands when I was a teenager
The opening riff from “It’s Only Love” - duet with Tina Turner from the Reckless album.
@@Producelikeapro agreed 100%!
