    To me this is one of the best rock riffs ever. Very smooth but heavy, and works just about the same at any tempo

      @PaulBradley-qi9ss 11 месяцев назад +1

      I listen to everything from blues to death metal and I agree. One of the badest riffs ever.

    For anyone who is struggling with this here's a tip... start the riff on the up strum it makes the ryrhym easier to grab

    • @TristanBaldi
      @TristanBaldi Год назад +2

      I actually slowed down the video and, even easier in my opinion, doing it like Marty: downstroke on the A, then downstroke on the E and then alternate up and down so that you'll always downstroking that E. Waaaaay easier!

    • @cupidstunt66
      @cupidstunt66 Год назад +1

      Do all the muted low Es as upstrokes, and everything else down. Best way to master this

  • @MichaelStephenson51
    @MichaelStephenson51 4 года назад +1

    There are quite a few versions of this out there. By FAR this is the best and most complete. Does not have the slide but does have a good substitute and frankly the ones that do cover slice are just fills and not the solo.
    Marty just really does this justice.

  • @bradleyj.anderson6398

    That was a tight lesson there, Marty. Excellent job. I only have one guitar at the moment, and I hate having to re-tune strings all the time, so I never learned how to play this song. Anything in another tuning but E and I won't bother with it. Now it is within my realm. Thanks, buddy.

    Marty, you are one of my on line go to's when I need to learn a song. I tried to figure out the rhythm under the solo for years to no avail. A guy in a guitar store showed me to play this song, Under Pressure, Blue Jean Blues, Tush and a few more in open E minor EBEGBE, said that BG played them this way. It made these songs that never sounded quite right. sound just right. I would love your comment or any ones about this. I promise I'm not trying to be a AHole, just curious what anyone else might think of this.
