I've played this song for years and you nailed it.
thanks dude wanted to play this for 20 years !!! Awesome !!!
ThankU,I wanted to play this song 3X years too,Great lesson
Great Marty
Loved it you can't beat the classics especially loved the loss of control on the ending riffs, that's what it's all about
Thanks so much John. Sounds perfect. I watched the Stealer video and it doesn't show Kossof playing the riff. They were a great band back in the day but of course it was half of Bad company. Love your tutorials. Peace ✌️
Thanks, I remember the song playing on WKDA and WLAC AM radio back in '70 along with Fire and Water and of course All Right Now. I later bought the Free Live album which I still have. I haven't even thought of The Stealer in many decades, but surprisingly could remember the words after I heard the guitar. :)
Thanks for this.Its my fave Free song and Ive been playing it wrong for years !
Playing it wrong?!? I didn't know you could that in rock and roll. American idol has ruined everything!
Nice work, very clear and well explained, and great tone as well. Thanks.
By the way, The Stealer was Free's follow-up single to All Right Now here in the UK and it failed to sell in any numbers - madness! That may have played a small part in their demise.
@000Angus000 Thanks for the kind words. I think it's a killer tune. Guess there's no accounting for taste as they say!
@ntrbluesx Wow, you're welcome! Glad it helped.
@meekdoug You're welcome. I don't pretend to be the Free expert! This is just what I'm hearing.
nice ...I like the way those p 90s sounds
thanx man..I wouldn't have figured it out in 46 reincarnation.
I think that chord you stretch out over 5 frets is simply XO553X.
Free's history of fragility was always near the surface. Kossoff was leaving if he had got the job in Jethro tull, he was leaving again when he tried to join the rolling stones. both times before alright now was a hit.
John your the real deal
Nice guitar , I know it’s a gold top les Paul but is it a re issue, or what year ?
👍
I hear the stretchy chord as Dsus4 (or Gsus2): xx523x.
I think the last chord is just the top 3 or 4 strings of the open G chord
heard some Steppenwolf "The Pusher" in there?
Also the slide to the fifth fret is to D then open G. The chord is Am7, the pedal tone is open G. The notes would be C-G-E, D-G-F#, G-G-E. The stretch you are doing is WRONG. The notes are E (5th Fret 2nd String), A (7th Fret 4th String), then C (5th Fret 3rd String), E (7th Fret 5th String), then D (7th Fret 3rd String), F# (9th Fret 5th String). Kossoff never did those kind of stretches. They were too hard to duplicate on stage.
Where did you come up with that third chord on the chorus? Doesn’t sound right and at least in live videos you can see him playing something distinctly different though I can’t quite figure out what that is
Not to be an insult, but Kossoff goes really easy on the gain. Sounds good, though!
Actually I have been playing this song for years. I would like to say you nailed it but you didn't. The parts you are playing are overdubs. Playing live Kossoff did the main lick all the way through. Of course if you had 3 guitar players you could get it exactly. Kossoff was a very understated but totally tasteful player. Everything he did fit perfectly.
You're playing the verse wrong - it's CAA DD - not CAA DG - listen to Kossoff
