Honestly mate, of all the millions of guitarist doing stuff on YT, there's no-one doing stuff as good as this. You've got me back playing and learning all the old stuff from back in the day. Great fun. Love your lessons. Easy to follow and play along to. You really nail the guitarists you illustrate and appreciate their unique talent that make their stuff so memorable. You also nail each player's individual tone too. Have you done any videos on your set ups to achieve the "sound" for the tracks you're playing? Keep it coming, fabulous stuff.

And yes I'm old enough to have seen Joy Division 3 times and New Orders first two gigs.

Am I dreaming? Someone with talent showing how to play my favorite Joy Division song? Subbed.

I can't get over that tone; sounds perfect.

Truly phenomenal. Thank you for having by far the best selection of songs of any guitar tutorial channel!

I love that you indirectly force me to learn the note on the fretboard instead of just going by numbers. Learning little by little. Thank you for the video!

I've seen Joy Division! October 5th 1979 at the Glasgow Apollo supporting the Buzzcocks :-) I also saw Richard Hell and The Voidoids on a triple bill with Elvis Costello and the Police!? Also saw the Cramps in the late '70s too. No wonder I subscribe to this channel! However, I couldn't play the guitar to this if my life depended on it. Nice one, Adrian

I played this in one of my first bands around -83. No one of us could really play but we didnt care. We played it on a school dance and not many appreciated it. Watching this we didnt make many notes right.

How amazing! What a beautiful arrangement, especially the arpeggios.This is my favourite JD song of all time.

I love what you do. You are a very good musician, and a gifted teacher. Your musical appreciation is fantastic. Thank you so much for this content. I feel fortunate to go back and learn these songs with your help. I am super happy to continue your support on Patreon, and hope others also feel the same. Thank you Adrian.

Just discovered your channel. Love it, I'm a novice and I love that you are teaching actually great songs. Your stuff is perfect quarantine killer.

Yay! Happy day when there’s a new Joy Division song to learn! You were rocking out on this one.

Totally nailed it Adrian, as always! Great sing and great lesson. Thanks for sharing this 👏

Discovered your channel yesterday and so pleased. I'm a beginner but this is the music I grew up on and what I hear in my head when I imagine myself getting to the level of playing others' songs. Excellent teaching throughout!

I've listen to your version many times, just love. I cannot play anything, just love love your version. Carry on, Chris

I swear this is the only possible way to learn this song through the Internet so thank you

Absolutely stunning lesson, as usual. Greatly appreciated the details on the guitar and the way you achieve that particular sound by combining different pedals. I must say, Adrian, your lessons are by far my favourite in the web!

Wow! Your tone and feel are absolutely astonishing. Well done and thank you mate

That guitar tone here is brilliant. The playing too ofc.

You always pick the best songs and present the lessons in the best format. Thank you very much for all the effort.

Saw JD 2nd to last gig in Derby . My heroes loved and still do . Had a guitar player named Karl with a shergold and he masters the sound spot on back in 83. This band lives forever and well done on your tuition. Do more J,D even though I play bass I can listen to this relentlessly 👍

This was the FIRST JD track i've ever heard !!!! really easy to play . Thank you Adrian !!!

I wouldn't mind 5 full minutes ;) Thanks for the lesson!

Dude..I've been ..' playing ' with playing for 20 years and have learned more in the past weeks with you than ever lol. Thanks for featuring JD and NO. Fantastic stuff . My favorite band(s) .

Yeah, very happy to see this song, JD is always welcome! And I knew nothing of Shergold so was happy to learn about that guitar, very nice.

just became a patron, your vids have helped me stick with learning guitar! this is perhaps my favorite Joy Division song, thanks mate!

Awesome track and a brilliant tutorial keep up the good work.

Moving Song.. This is quintessential Bernard Sumner! Thank you again for these videos of the great songs that inspired me to pick up a guitar.

Really dig your channel! So many great song choices!

My favourite guitar teacher playing my favourite JD tune and perhaps one of my favourite tunes ever 👍👍

Marvellous stuff Adrian. Thank you.

To mirror other comments, you really have the most interesting and passionate guitar lessons on KZfaq cheers

Wicked good! Such an underrated guitar player but brilliantly original. Great lesson

Yet another great selection. Very cool.

awesome work and awesome song

Beautiful playing Adrian!

Loving the return to Joy Division (a key part of what attracted me to your channel many years ago!) Beautiful track, beautifully played and explained. Gutted that you can't find the backing tracks to your previous Joy Division lessons.. 😭

Unknown Pleasures = masterpiece !

thanks for the great lesson

What an incredible album! Well done!

I can happily say I have an original Shergold marathon bass i bought in 1982. It's stayed with me through thick and thin. Good to see Shergold back .

Perfect choice👌👌 i love your choices man please keep doing lessons of songs like this and forest (the cure) I love your work

This was truly brilliant

A darn good solo , one of the great tracks

I see you I instantly click in and like it then proceed to watch, happy every time not disappoint once!

Great one Adrian! Maybe a Dead Souls lesson in the future?? Thanks for all you do!

Yess!!! Favorite joy Division track.

Great song. Great video. Great guitar.

You rock love your lessons, thank you

Wow that’s the guitar I want! The exact color

Bernard Sumner is underrated in my eyes

Love the Shergold and favourite JD song.

Wow! really good stuff here!

I love that guitar. It has a mint green look on KZfaq - like a fender pickguard from the 60's.. The neck/fingerboard of that guitar is so pretty and I love the fret markers! Love to get the source for that backing track, also.

Top job dude

YESSS Joy Division... thank you so much!

It’s honestly refreshing to listen to a grown up play a song with heart and emotions. I’m sooooo sick and tired of seeing these children smashing out note perfect covers of songs they can’t convey passion too! 🙏🖤🤘🏼🕯

Cool song for a cool guitar ! Thanks

great lesson and love that guitar. I don't think shergold is available in the US. thank you for your lessons. one of my fave channels.

Finally something I can learn and play

Gary Marx "The Sisters of Mercy" also used a Shergold (Masquerader). New Dawn Fades is also very proto-Sisters...

Special blues . Nice one .

That's a seriously good looking guitar, I have a similar pick up arrangement in one of my guitars only a filtertron where the humbucker is, ala Eddie Cochran. Nice lesson Adrian, poor misunderstood Bernard, never gets the credit his song craft deserves. Looking forward to the next one 😎🎸✅

Love your Metronome!

Love the blue.

A means to an end would be another Joy division song I’d love to see you do

Great! Also, very helpful to get an insight on some of the equipment you’re using to get the tone. So few KZfaq guitar lessons have that. I’m old enough to have seen Joy Division live...I was still only 16 when I got into the gig at ULU. Ironically, my mate down our street in London, who also took up guitar tab the same age as me in ‘78 but was into ‘heavy rock’, as it was called then (Led Zeppelin etc.) upgraded his guitar to a brand new, black Shergold Masquerader just like Bernard Sumner’s, even though he didn’t even know who Joy Division were! I upgraded my guitar to a secondhand Fender Telecaster. Somehow it seems like it should have been the other way round, huh? But, to be honest, I was a 15 year old Punk and I thought the Shergold looked wank! Besides, Joe Strummer had a Telecaster and at the time that’s all I cared about....hahaha! I wonder what those guitars would be worth now, huh? I think I still take the Tele....LOL! Thanks for the lesson.

Interesting that the Shergold had the identical pickup config (including the coil tap) as the G&L Fallout, which is marketed as a 'post-punk' style guitar as well. Looks great though.

Hi Adrian!! Disorder please!! How to play it! More Disorder is needed in this world! Oh and Thank you thank you thank you!!

Great lesson as always ! Any chance you could do a lesson on the draize train by the smiths? I think would be a great one for you to teach.

Awesome as usual! Please consider doing some Jesus and Mary Chain? So many great riffs in their music (ex: Head On).

Best song ever

Brilliant! Sounds exactly like Joy Division.

Nice man🤙

Whole life described in just one song. UNHEARD OF! Until then, and not ever after.

Thanks bro

with the beautiful power bass of Hooky !

another superb lesson Adrian really appreciate your hard work I know it isn't easy figuring these songs out if possible could you take a look at it sparks by thousand yard stare its a great song but I just cant work it out many thanks cant find a tab for it anywhere unless anybody knows of one thanks agian

Thats a sweet guitar

You say you didn't want to play the whole thing because it would be boring but I disagree. It was mesmerising and i wanted to hear the whole track. As a non player it's all baffling to me but I am in awe of the sound. I would happily hear you do the whole album.

Strangely was watching Heat the other day and the Moby version comes right in the middle of it when Pacino is following De Niro in the car...

Great video, great music! Thank you very much! Can you tell how to get this special JD Sound?

Yea, his fingers are like giraffe necks compared to my short hippo fingers. I can't stretch like that.

I couldn´t agree more about Bernard Summer. Being a good guitarist is not about jerking up and down the fretboard very fast; it´s about developing your own style, having an ear and being able to play in different keys. Plenty of great guitarists who are not super technical

Nice one

That inro! wow, helps having a Hookie bass tho. Very well p[ayed sir.

Many thanks Adrian. Love your stuff. Echo and the bunnymen per chance ?

Great video guitar lesson dude, where did u get the backing track. Its awesome

Amo joy división soy de argentina south American, desconsoladamente hermoso

May I request a lesson on a technically post punk band, orange juice- falling and laughing?

This a great song to improvise on...using the E pentaTONIC RUN

Brilliant. Adrian is out on his own as a teacher. Surprisingly, can't believe pioneers Geordie of KJ and Robin Guthrie of the CT's have never been covered.

Thanks for this. You’re right…Bernard Sumner is so underrated.

Great lesson, thanks. Love your tutorials. But I must say, I'm surprised you don't have any extra info on the guitar, or a link to their website. Am I missing it? Sure-Gold?

Thanks. I wish it had not taken 40 years to get out there. I could had used this as a kid.

How u likein the guitar so far ? Im a fan of a p90 in the neck . Sounds good . Love the channel .

The chinese cat in the back pulls it all together. Brilliant!

wooo thanks!!!!!!!, good sound mate, can i have the backing track?

This guitar is what I want but I can’t find a dealer shop here in Japan, bummer 😅

What's the effect? :0 good well.
