I've been a Cheap Trick fan--and fan of this song--for decades, and this is without a doubt the best tutorial for the song I've seen. Thanks for sharing!

For me, this is the perfect mix of #1 actually knows how to play it, #2 provides enough detail AND keeps it compact.. realizes I can pause and repeat. For me this is the perfect level at which to document a lesson. Highest praise and thanks! I learn this song and forget it every couple of years - with this video , I spend 20 min and I know it again! Totally brilliant approach!

I totally agree. Most tuts go painfully slow. This one is paced perfectly. It assumes you know something about playing guitar first but that makes sense because if you don't, you probably aren't ready for this song.

I don’t know a single person who knows music who overlooks Rick Nielsen. And I know a lot of musicians. Maybe your average idiot on the street doesn’t know who he is, but anybody’s ever picked up a guitar does. The guy’s a legend.

I always loved the song, but wasn't sure if I could actually figure out how to play the darned thing. This tutorial put me on the fast track. Agree with others, presented very well--not assuming a kindergarten audience, no hipster silliness--right down to brass tacks. If you can't immediately grasp what's goin' on, you're not ready for what's goin' on. Gear related question: Is the straight tie attached to the strap button or do you let that swing free?
