Fire and water. Burned a couple doobies to that one. Paul was the man !

Two in one day? Paul Kossoff licks *and* chords? You're too good to us David. lols Thank you. ^-^

Nice one David. Thanks too for the tribute to Andy Fraser, a much under mentioned bassist who was a huge part of the Free sound.

thanks for spotlighting the "Koss".. severely overlooked

Awesome Dave! Paul was the rock guitarist that all subsequent guitarists tried to emulate. He was the master of power chord sounds. Truly an innovator. Paul was Bad Company's "Shooting Star". A true rock star legend.

Great stuff Dave. What awesome vibrato as well as string bending Kossof possessed Incredibly expressive!.

Really hear your pick guard tonight

Licks and chords of Free. Nice. Loved the seventies. Thanks.

Simple but effective . There's a lot to be said about feeling. Music is inspiring . Music gives me peace. Thanks again Dave. You have handed me today's muse....

thank heavens you have done this, awsome. More please.

We need more Kossoff 🙏

This was very insightful. I can see what Paul was thinking. Sort of Combining lead & rhythm to create a solid, identifiable sound & flow. A lot of ingenuity. Thanks.

,,,,,here.!.!.!,,,,,,,,,,from land o' lakes,wi........as soon as I read the intro,,,,,,,,,,,couldn't click faster,,,,,,,,,,I want to play it right!!!!........tnx,pat..........big fan here!.😐😐

Free and koss are my fav. Thanks

What a Great " Chords of"......Lesson.. Thanks

Another great lesson! Thanks as always. Great way to start the week. And remember kids, there's one thing we can all agree on - PLAY. LOUD.

First! Hey Dave, your lessons are killer. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of guitar with us! Kossoff and Free are solid additions to your video library!

"70s-approved, D over A . . " 😂🔈🔉🔊 Love your show

MORE MORE MORE!!!

Thanks, David! Classic Rock Time! I love it all!

Great stuff. Thanks Dave.

Love me some Koss !! Great video

Love your lessons, man! Beeing (I guess) in the same age (born the year Kossoff died) and a member of a pre-internet cohort that gained most of their teenage years guitar knowledge by watching them older guys in the music shops or via stop & replay of VHS-cassettes. I feel like going back to the 90s. Amazing to see how all my old guitar heroes inspired my younger ones and ultimately myself. Hendrix/Trower/Kossoff/Freed/McCready/Frusciante/Mascis etc. Compare Kossoffs "I'll be creepin" with Audley Freeds "Peace Pipe" or "Oh I wept" with Pearl Jams "Not for you". Sonical heritage at it´s best...

What and another great musician.

Outstanding, David. Came across this one about a year after you released it, but very glad I did. You once again have proven deep insight into the artist. This time Paul Kossoff, a very underrated musical genius (IMHO). Very sad we lost him in '76...could only imagine what gems he would have produced had he lived. Especially the song "Oh I Wept". His riffs combined with Paul Rogers vocals...oh man, doesn't get much better than that! Big THANKS for undertaking this lesson. Much appreciated. Cheers.

You’re on a roll today!

Damn, my all-time favorite band!

Paul Kossoff was an absolute God .... sadly lost way too early. These last two videos have been so enjoyable ..... lovely to see the great Fire and Water album up on your wall.

Free are one of my favourites, the playing is so tasteful. Can you believe they were teenagers when they were coming up with this stuff?

Their music is a Neverending magic! And you are amazing as always dear Dave 🎸🎸🎼☑️

Great lesson Dave! The back stories, and little tidbits of factual band history , is what truly separates you from others.. I can't believe you don't have literally 10s of thousands more followers. Oh well you can be our best kept secret ,although I will tell my buddies about you. I'm know they will appreciate your style ,and hopefully like hundreds of badass bands who don't get their proper due recognition you will be discovered by the masses . Thanks man

One of my favourite bands and guitarists ever!!! nicely done sir.

Very interesting lesson....

A brilliant choice to highlight Mr Kossoff and equally as brilliant the material the material you choose, great job as always thank you for sharing. Would love to hear your analysis of the chords under the Mr Big bass solo, cheers all the best 👍

I'm a Paul Kossoff fan now!

Great! Thanks for that!

Thank you for showing Koss so much respect. I don't play, but your lessons are excellent. :) Paul Kossoff's music touches my heart like no other guitarist. It's nice that you're sharing his playing with a new generation.

Paul 's guitar playing made me want to listen.

Great tone

good stuff ! : )

Koss’ chord voicing was unique :)

great lesson ,thanks, was lucky enough to see the man twice with Free , here in Edinburgh back in the early 70:s

Great lesson. Missing the major 3rd on the E chord in Mr Big as it goes to the ‘chorus’ makes all the difference. Thanks.

Amazing !!

I am a long time fan of Koss. Been seeing him live in Paris in the '70s. You really nailed his style. He was a major influence in my playing, together with Peter Green, Hendrix and Clapton. Thank you for this Chordplay homage to one of the greats of the Rock scene. Cheers

Koss is an unsung legend. What a great player. He showed how much you could do with really minimal playing. One thing I find so amazing about Free overall is how thoughtful their songs are in terms of arrangement. Great blues rock bands tended not to have too much going on but they were absolutely amazing at that. "All Right Now" in the verses is just guitar, drums, and vocals. The bass comes in in the chorus and in the solo. Andy Fraser, their bassist and principal songwriter, was so good at that. "Oh I Wept" is such a great tune.I do it solo acoustic and tend to think of the Em6 as a rootless A7 because during the vocals I usually play E - Dsus2 - A - E.

Thanks for these videos, great insight into Paul Kossoff's lead and chord playing, also to YOUR playing and awesome tone on that Les Paul!

I play it somewhat differently but it sounds right to me. After the first strike of the A chord, I hit the bass A string and add the F# on the 4th fret D string, then keeping the F fretted I fret the D (3rd fret B string) and let the open G and open top E ring - so before you go back to the A the second time, you're hitting F#, G, D, E. Sounds fuller to me. Of course, the two different ways he played it makes a single guitar replication quite difficult. Try it and let me know what you think.

one of the best videos on youtube for ages, thanks

Thank you for this, Highway is joint first in my two favourite albums of all time, both just perfect in every way possible in my opinion, hence making this episode special for me, thanks again... UK fan

Fantastic

Thanks David, I was wondering when you'd get around to Free. Great band, great riffs but faded away to soon. Peace.

Great!

@ 13:50 It reminded me of gimme three steps intro.

Paul is in my top 5 of classic rock guitarist. Love him and Free. What a band! I just wish they didn't fall prey to what many great bands deal with...drugs and ego.

Great lesson as always, would be great to see a pestilence/patrick mameli lesson in the not too distant future

5 million plays if you include the stereo in my car.

Hi David, just discovered your channel and subscribed, at last a FREE freak like myself, love your playing and break downs. I have been a huge fan since I first heard ALL RIGHT NOW for the first time as a 16 year old in Glasgow Scotland in 1970, you know DAVID I watch all the utube reactors and most don't have any clue about the quality of the band or how good KOSSOFF was, and most only know PAUL RODGERS from Bad Co. I'm going to be following you now with great interest, keep up the good work buddy and cheerio from Glasgow.

Loved it!

I think Kossoff got some help from bassist Andy Fraser on chords . ( At least according to an interview with the late Mr Fraser ) Fraser stated , "When it comes to chords , that was really a big problem for Koss , and learning ' All Right Now ' was a real mind-bender for him . " ----- great lesson though !

Awesome. I learned All Right Now when I was 12 or 13 from this weird old guy who combed his hair like Elvis and wore black speedos most of the time. I can't remember his name but it was probably Hank.

Bit out of topic but ere you planning doing Chords of Jane's addiction? Dave Navarro is amazing rhythm guitar player! Songs like: Ain't no right, Mountain song, Ocean size sound larger then life, it could make a great video. Keep up the good work! Love your approach: mellow tone with great insight on bands themselves!

this has got to be the most boomerest chordplay yet! Thats some pure 70s blues rock boomer guitar right there.

Don't think you're quite right with the All Right Now riff: for a start it's double tracked and indeed one guitar is playing the little finger notes at the fifth fret. The D/A is correct but then I'm sure he plays essentially a C chord slid up two frets but then takes off the third finger to let the open A ring out.

This was great so glad I found this channel 👏👏 Please do a follow up with more Free stuff - would love to hear your take on The Stealer’s prechorus chords, which sounds like bells or harp almost

On all right now, I've seen Paul play that first Hit on a 5 with his pinky on the sixth string A. Reinforcing that A

Nice to see you play "Oh I Wept". It's one of my favorites. I play two versions on my own channel "jrlguitar". It has a lot of subtle notes going on in the background behind the chords. The voicings that Paul used where great. That starting E chord in particular.

Amazing sound dude🤘

👍

Well that was quick lol

The beast seventy group

Very ZZ TOP esque alot of all this Paul Kossoff/Free Material! Guess its the other way around!

Great stuff man. Do you think they really thought of all the theory? Maybe they just played till it sounded cool.

Hey David, three for all of Stevie Salas? Found him in an old guitar world mag! Love his licks

Please do Mountain, Leslie West.

would you ever do a chordplay for the band Budgie? lots of heavy riffs but some beautiful stuff like The Author, Breadfan, and Who Do You Want For Your Love? the first and third album are powerhouse Records of Heavy Rock

Is that Marshall next to the SL yours?

Licks by Snowy White lesson, youtube has all snowy white albums to get a bunch of licks from to make a lesson

A very Righteous breakdown of FREE's music, Kossoff is of course the El supreme of blues/rock sensibility, it was a shame his taste for narcotics put an end to his career, very tragic.

1968-73.

Oh man! No chorus on "Oh I Wept" :-( :-)

Nice licks and Cobra Kai shirt..

What year is that BB?

😎

1950 -76.

Paul rarely played his G string as it was always out of tune on his Les Paul.

Did you ever hear the Paul Kossoff story about how at a show, I think it might have been in Germany,he was so F'd up on heroin, the guys in the band had to show him where to put his fingers on the guitar to make a a C Major chord. Tragic

Sorry dude but you got All right now wrong! its all in the 2nd half off the riff.
