well i have to say...Ten years after are more or less totally ignored by "eceryone"....radiostations for sure....never hear any of their songs.....i saw Alvin Lee twice back then, and they were absolutely great.......they certainly deserve more coverage and attention.....
Bullshit after Woodstock they were known allowed the world, because of the film,okay.
Classic Rock, as a whole has been getting less and less attention period ! There are hundreds of great bands from the 60s and 70s that don't get any airplay anymore. There are still a few good radio stations although that do ! You just have to look for them nationwide.😎✌️🎸💕🎶💕🎶
@@michaelmendillo7513Because its not considered "classic rock" any more.
I remember coming home on leave from Germany in the late 90s. I picked up the rental car in Detroit and immediately tuned it to my favorite classic rock station . And they were playing Guns n' roses. They were still calling themselves a classic rock station and that's when I realized I was old. But back in the 80s they used to play some really obscure classic rock bands that I never hear anymore. Like Quicksilver Messenger Service for example. I'm Gen X but was raised on classic rock especially growing up in Michigan there was just so much of it
@travismiles5885 You have a point there,,,I am 63 yrs old, so , I am guessing your about the same age, So our "Classic Rock" is 60s & 70s ,,, but now I suppose they are considered oldies ! Hahaha ! I guess we did get old my brutha !!! But only in writing !!! Keep on rocking 😎 ✌️🎸🎶💕🎶💕🍻
A real classic you don't hear played often. Great pick. Thanks Kelly!!
You know your stuff and your an amazing player.
I love that song...its timeless.
Alvin could play at the speed of sound.
You are awesome bro. Thanks for all your hard work.
Nice! Every time I want to cover a classic I just happen to come across, and it's been a while, you always have a lesson for me! Awesome!
Just OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTION ! Many Many Thanks !
Like this song alot, and never figured the riff and rythym were as easy as you tought. Very cool, thanks! 64 and never too old to add a new old tune to my play list. (correction: taught)
My guitar teacher way back in 1987, when I was 13, was an Alvin Lee clone. He could play the solo note for note from the record. When he taught me the song he just wrote out all the blues licks and told me to go nuts with them.
Oh hell yeah. I already know how to play this (minus the lead) and a few others from A Space In Time (brilliant album). I had the fortune of seeing Alvin Lee at Harpos in Detroit in the early 80's. He was just amazing! Thanks for this great flashback Kelly.
Harpos in the '80s... They had just so many awesome bands playing there, then. The Token Lounge did too. Those were experiences indeed.
Damn! Takes me back to about 10 years old living in a campus neighborhood where the young “hippies” as my dad affectionately referring to… the kids playing this song nice and loud !! Thank you for posting sir! Awesome craftsmanship!! I’ll be working on this for a while😃
a haunting song with meaning even today. nothing really changes, it just seems get worse over the years.. getting back to my acoustic lately and this one came to mind.. thanks!
You have to back to the late 60s early 70s. TYA were reasonable well know. Alvin rocked Woodstock And I believe the isle of wright, this is back in the day of unlimted potential , love, peace and before corporations truly ruled our lives. Sadly Alvin died a few years back . My favourite release is the live in Frankfurt double recording with blues in c and I am going home.
Good choice from a great album!
Fantastic
They played in Atlantic Canada in the early 70s l,was not to be missed. 🎶👍
Great choice Kelly!
Good job. Man thats a blast from the past! I remember when The Bluest Blues gave me tennis elbow...
Thanks Kelly I've played for three years I love all your lessons keep rocking
Kelly, Great classic tutorial! Very much appreciated!!
Andaba hace días con ganas de aprender este maravilloso solo, muchas gracias saludos desde Chile ❤
My first exposure to Alvin Lee was sitting in the theater in 1970.
"I'm Going Home (by helicopter)"
Happy New Year. Love Alvin Lee. Fantastic. Fantastic song too. Also love Choo choo mama, won't you ride the train? Wow Top Shelf ♪♫♪♫♪
If I could pull off an approximation of Alvin Lee I would die a happy man.
Thank you!
Thank you Kelly.
Thanks, Kelly! The squeaking wheel finally got the grease!!! Love the song. I knew eventually you would give this lesson... and nail it!
Your lessons and the theory lessons by Rickey Comiskey are my main learning basis.
Awesome!
Thanks! Love this song, both the music and the lyrics. Great song for a thoughtful mood.
Great lesson. Love this song.
nice K, nice!👍👍
Hey Kelly, long time listener...man hardly anybody on RUclips puts any Alvin or TYA lessons (just a few scatterings). As a 'play in my basement' player and from your generation (probably a little older), I really dig TYA. Alvin Lee is long forgotten and most only know him from the Woodstock movie. Alvin is truly one of the greats from the second British invasion with Jimmy, Richie and Tony! Creem magazine called him 'speed fingers', haha! I saw Ten Year Later on New Year's Eve in Detroit, and Alvin slapped me a 'HI' five from the stage, one of the thrills of my life! Miss him very much. Thanks for the lesson on 'I'd Love To Change The World' great song, but probably (maybe) many examples on RUclips. I'd love to see a lesson on 'Good Morning Little School Girl', but only the solo. Listen to it on TYA Recorded Live LP, it's mind blowing! I realize it's long and super fast, but if anyone can do it....thanks for sharing so many tunes from my teenage years! Happy New Year!
Thanks Kelly!
Bout time someone covered this 😊
Your tune selection, especially the past half year, is as if you were a 1975-85 rock radio station program director, Kelly!
Many of your choices trigger flashbacks to my wayward youth listening to WRIF, WABX, or pre-country W4 in Detroit.
Thanks, not only for the instruction, but for resurrecting these tunes.
WRIF BABY!
It's like Jim Ladd started teaching guitar . Long live the lonesome LA Cowboy DJ
Dang . . . I forgot about this song . . . tks for posting 👍
Thank you brother man,,,this is the best tutorial anyone could ask for,,, your a great teacher,,, Rock on ! 😎✌️🎸🎶💕🎶💕
Thanks Michael!
Favourite song
Ευχαριστούμε!
The ACDC G works too - can make the quick switch and hit the G bass and put that index on then high g note on the E. Song is kinda tricky
Thank you for this tutorial🙏
Thank you. Will follow your lesson. Do some more TYA. I saw them once back around 1975, one of the most potent, tightest, professional, no nonsense bands I have ever seen.
I subscribed instantly when I saw the guitar. I’ve always played the acoustic parts of this song and finally decided to learn the solo to fight fascism. 😊
Happy new year Mr Allen great job as usual can you possibly do a take off women of Ireland Jeff Beck version Greetings fae Scotland 🏴
You the man, thanks
The chords are simple, basic chords, but I been struggling at the chord changes and picking ! It's a bitch ! But I love a challenge ! TY !!! 😁👍🎸🎶💕🎶💕🎶
I was wondering if you were going to do a tutorial on this one after another commenter suggested. I heard the song a few days ago and then wondered how KDA would tell me which note in all those flurries of notes 😅. Messed around with this for years, but this will get me closer. Thanks as always!
Now, my request is for Rory Gallagher’s Shadow Play (in all your spare time, lol). Another song I’ve played around for years, but I can’t quite to that main solo. Similar I’d Love to Change World blues like and based on lots of fast runs.
I'll have to check "Shadow Play" out. I loved Rory Gallagher in the mid '70's.
ALVIN WAS PRIMARILY A JAZZ PLAYER
TED NUGENT WOULD NOT GO TO SEE ALVIN LEE, BECAUSE HE WAS EXTREMELY JEALOUS OF ALVIN AND WOULD NOT ADMIT THAT ALVIN WAS MUCH BETTER THAN NUGENT. THE OTHER AMBOY DUKE PLAYERS TOLD ME THAT [1967] GRANDE BALLROOM- DETROIT
Right On!!! I love to hear real Rock 'N' Roll stories like that! I think I'd have to agree! Alvin Lee has that British blues rock style and sound. Nugent has a great rhymic sound, and his songs all have a great hook, with great power chords, but Alvin is supercharged! He reminds me of Rory Gallagher.
This was the only TYA song I'd heard until recently hearing, "I'm coming Home." He just rocked it!!! I remember seeing their albums in record stores as a teenager, wondering what they were like. They were just what I craved back then! Rockin' guitar--old school shredding!
Hi I can play this on acoustic guitar now.
Hi Kelly! Is there a chance for you to create a tutorial for Buckethead's Magnum Opus Soothsayer?
Hi Kelly!
Been watching your channel for awhile! I was wondering if you would consider doing the April Wine cover of 21st Century Schizoid Man??
E,G,A,C,B
Man, I love this song! And you do a GREAT lesson. But I think the lyrics are odd: "I'd love the change the world, but I don't know what to do, so I leave it up to you." That's a serious cop-out attitude, a total defeatist message and one that got us here in the first place. Unless Alvin wrote it tongue-in-cheek, I think it's pretty lame to espouse that. Oh, and he never played it live, even though it was his biggest "hit".
So what have you done to change things?? Apparently nothing because the worlds still the same: 53 years after this song came out we still have wars and everything else this song talks about. I think your post is odd since you haven't done anything that changed anything..
Maybe you don't see it, but I've made the world a better place. I compost, I bike instead of drive, I recycle, I protest, I write, I help humans who need it, I educate people, I vote, I boycott and I buycott and I could go on and on. I have done everything in my power to make this a better place. And I disagree that the world is the same 53 years later. I think a myriad of things have changed, some for the better and yes, some for the worse. But what I DIDN'T do was say that I don't know what to do, so I leave it up to you. @@DarkSim77
Teacher you are a speed demon You're awesome at playing it but can you slow it down just a tad brother lol I happen to love this song and you play way too fast lol not a bad thing cuz you're awesome but I'm trying to follow you You got to slow it down just a bit lol I appreciate You explaining this better than most
