Oh there were times when I really wanted to.

better still, get a piece of plywood like they used for the Woodstock stage, and bash it w/ your SG!!

...after EACH cut. :-D

😂

Hahaha more like, How many songs can you write with the chords A-A-A-G-D with or without a capo? Pete - Yeah 😆👍 Thank god for Quadrophenia, gotta love The 'Oo

In the bass? Actually inside the bass?

It's fun to play, very light. Tuning goes a bit out though.

@@bloxsy_ Is it am Epiphone?

Yeah Epiphone sg special VE. I have one of this and breaks the wall, amazing guitar underrated

@@bludeguilherme It is indeed.

That guitar was my first electric guitar it's very nice learning on that because it's a very good guitar and very cheap, now i play the Epiphone Tony Iommi signature SG

Same here!! I Can't Explain, My Generation, Kids Are Alright set me on that path..Seen them live 3 times!!

It's THE PUNK tune!

u sure?

Thank you!

Exactly..Those were Townshends SG Special days!! He practically beat that guitar nearly to death!! Wished I coulda bought one when had the chance back in late 60's, early 70's...but already had/was paying on an ES-335TD, my gigging guitar...Traded off that for an Ibanez Paul copy, bolt-on neck..nice guitar,,real bad move!!#

His dynamic control is rivaled by almost none. Live, he could make a guitar have pristine whisper like cleans and roaring harmonic laden overdrive without a single pedal. Just used his right hand for volume control and pick attack. The live Tommy Overture is mindblowing.

the follow thru w/ those big chords after the lyrics "sure plays a mean Pinball" were and still are BADASS. that was played on AM car radios the whole Spring and Summer leading up to Woodstock, which is why he gets a big hand for the intro in that muddy field. thank heaven for film .

I just saw that, too. Pretty cool.

I think Pete´s stuff is even better (richer, more complex) in his solo albums, than in Who´s albums.

Who never played in India though

Mine too for many years now.👍🇬🇧🎼🎸🎤

Who is?

Who are you talking about?

Yrwin's Classical That’s what I want to know!

The who?

I have to disagree, they are just chords played loud, I dont call this great riffs

Townshend's placement of CHORDS are possibly the most powerful in rock guitar history. He's one of the great rhythm players that always served the songwriting first....his influence can be heard in all generations of rock bands. I think even Hendrix and The Stones took notes from Pete's rhythm. And AC/DC, I love them, but half their riffs descend straight from The Who

@@jumpboy29 hell, the early records by theJAM were like WHO tributes .love theJAM, tho.

and the intro to 'Guns on the roof '' by the CLASH is 'I can't explain', updated.

@@jeanbranlpahune9825 and mayor chords. Really boring riffs

I agree, nobody has written anything like tommy and nobody can do it like he does

Damn you're right as I said the list is a bit biased but it's still a great vid

maybe Water is the most overrated song by The Who!

​@@TheMrPava Theres no such thing as an overrated Who song

@@henryquinlan4254 you are right. My Mistake, I meant "underrated". my english played a trick on me.

the same thing happens to me with pull and push

Thank you!

Same pink Floyd and the who are literally the best bands of all time.

Amen, Amen!!

Thank you very much!

The pleasure was all mine. They're one of my favourites too. Thanks for watching!

I prefer the how

It sounds great and it's very light-weight which I like, but sometimes the tuning can be a bit tricky. I'm happy with it though. Yeah that are a lot of expensive guitars out there, I would never pay that much.

Thank you sir!

Thank you.

Thanks man.

That's probably because it doesn't really have a guitar riff. It's just a chord sequence.

@@hux2000 a lot of the songs he included are basically chord riffs aswell so still should've been included

Same reason that Who Are You and Eminence Front aren’t on it

I'm sorry to hear this, man. Get well soon.

Thx

@@grungekid1539 whatever infirms you, get well..heal up soon!!

Thank you! I appreciate you watching it.

Thanks buddy.

Thanks man.

One of my fave too.. Blox, you nailed it...I've figured it the same way as well..Townshend is def. a genius...weird, strange, but a credit to his profession!

Yes, where is it?

Missed that one too, and also The Kids are allright

Also Summertime Blues

@@benrossi1513 That's a cover of the Eddie Cochran song, though.

@@wietzedejong9732 Exactly!! Another compressed 12-string electr. Dont think it's a Rick...prob. a Fender, Baldwin/Burns 12-string...the octave A string on pedal point is too dominant. Rick 12 is reversed set-up..Just an asute observation..

Thanks man!

A session player showed me how the SG neck flexes.

Well I don't know how exact it is, it's more of an interpretation. But glad it helped!

Bloxsy Sounds pretty damn close

Thank you! Yeah it's a great riff even if it isn't their song. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get there with practice. :)

@@bloxsy_ thanks man 🤟 I appreciate it :)

@@jennyguitar Good luck to you! We all start somewhere!! I did, back in 1965, self-taught..Practice, practice..!

@@samburkes7552 thank dude🤟🎸

I know they're technically 2 separate songs but I wanted to put them both in as I think they're both great. Also it's listed like that on the Live At Leeds version which I tried to emulate in terms of the sound.

..One I would like to hear/see how played is the de-tuned, layered "Underture".. Friggin' love that one!! I'm usually successful myself figuring out stuff by ear(positive pitch gift), but that one is still a mystery!!#

..Correct, 'Tommy Fan"..!! What a masterpiece!!

Thank you kindly!

Thank you.

Lucky you!! Three times for me. Once in NYC, twice in Phoenix, when living in Tucson then..

Thank you

Don't think I would go that far.

@@russellmclatchey4162 I would lol

Russell Mclatchey all about personal preference, can’t say ones better than the other. The Beatles were experimental, the stones and zep had a foot in the blues, and The Who were pure rock n roll, all unbelievable artists we can appreciate today

..Absolutely bar none...Btw, rumoured that Jim Page played the down-stroked rhythm parts on "I Can't Explain" in 1965..

@@samburkes7552 Page was hired for the sessions, but Townshend is adamant he didn't play on Can't Explain, and Page isn't adamant about having played on it, but he definitely played the fuzz solo on the B-side Bald Headed Woman. Producer Shel Talmy hired Page, one of the top two British session guitarists of the time (the other being John McLaughlin) since The Who had very little recording experience (one single and flip side recorded during their brief stint as The High Numbers), and Page wouldn't let Townshend use the fuzz box, so he got his solo on a Who record. Just so happened to be a song they quickly dropped from their setlist, while Can't Explain remained a staple of their shows to this day.

Either way.....Jimmy Page never needed a session player....pretty sure that says it all

@@thedirtiestbradfordbradfor6181 he WAS a session player, and yes, he did hire them post-Zeppelin.

@@alvarhanso6310 Looks like you've done your Early Who Homework there, Alvar. Was not familiar with the B side of that 45 disc. Or about fuzz tone boosters back then. Was just a h.s. kid, trying to.learn guitar. Fell in love with that song first time I heard it on my Bakelite radio, sick in bed with the flu!! Didn't realize there was that ubiquitous 12-string lead part in it...till much later.

Thanks mate.

..Not familiar with that type/model steelstring acoustic..Thought it was a Martin D-15m..Is it a boutique guitar, or its own proprietary company? Curious. I'm 71, out of todays loop..

@@samburkes7552 the description says "blue moon acoustic"

Thank you!

The real me is an absolute blast but because the song Is carried by the bass and drums the you have to kinda fill in a few times to make guitar stand alone well

Greatest album of all time.

Thanks very much!

Still one of the best live albums of all time :)

@@bloxsy_ Yessir, it is!! Wire out my copy! Lol!!

..I can SEE for miles...Excellent song fr. '67.

Thanks man.

Thank you.

@@bloxsy_ I noticed the riffs didn't look that difficult to play. That does not take away from the great job you did. It just means I might try to tackle a few of them myself.👍
