Ian Booker - My Iron Lung Tutorial Part 1 of 2

[countingcrows123]

Just so you know.. your guitar is not in standard tuning in this video. When you played a G you actually played an A#.. I think you're tuned a half step up. Thanks though!

[Crossbowrob77]

Fuck you.

[IanMBooker]

@Crossbowrob77 Yup, cheers for that

[BuzzingFridge]

Great video! Are you related to Jimmy Carr?

[rnewhook69]

i have a feeling that people ask waht tuning its in because it doesnt sound like off the album. if you really want to grasp that exact sound, you need a pitch shifting pedal or detune pedal. i use a GNX4 digitech pedal and it works briliantly.

just shift it 12 steps up with a mod level of maybe 20 or 30 so its not so drastic sounding. this effect alone has brought tears to my eyes while playing...truly beautiful.

Great vid by the way and great voice! nice vibrato

[BuzzingFridge]

Good song + good teacher + good guitar player + good voice = great tutorial!

[apos82]

You have a beautiful voice

[IanMBooker]

Ha I had to watch it to see what happened at 6.40! Didn't mean to give anyone the finger :)

[purokabuangan2]

AT 6:40 ... lol

BUT STILL, GOOD JOB DUDE :)

[david38861]

what tuning is this in??

[IanMBooker]

@david38861 - hi, it's just standard tuning.

[professorfoxtrot]

@IanMBooker definitely not bro. You're tuned a half tone sharp :P

[TheArgiel]

OMG!man , i love you voice :,)

[Meltedsnake4]

You voice is awesome!

[StakyAll]

Great tutorial but any chance of tab for the chords please. The camera angle makes it hard to see in parts.

[danakerman]

Where did that singing voice come from?? LOL You're speaking with this big, thick, deep voice, then you sing and whoooaaaa --- it's a totally different sound! Amazing.

[IanMBooker]

@danakerman Ha! Thanks - Sorry i'll build up to it gradually next time lol. Cheers for your support.

[MarceloAvero]

[dinkleburgkult]

[130ipower]

[imitebwrong]

thanks alot man, i've had the first bit down for ages but never knew how to do the thrashy bit, but after watching this vid i've got it to a tee.. much respect , great vid

[100031158]

Very good!

Anyway, I've been trying to find out which is exactly the Cm variation played by Thom in the acoustic version of this song. It is not a common Cm. Do you get any ideas?

Thanks

[shlomr]

try Cm/Eb

xx101x

i hope you still want to know 6 months later :S

[100031158]

Thanks!

x-3-x-0-4-3 and x-3-1-0-3-3 also work, but I don't think any of these is the exact one in the mtv live acoustic version...

[arnonono1]

thanks a lot man, great voice!

[addweight]

Great lesson, I sincerely hope you make a good living out of music as you have a great talent and more people should know about it. Keep it up mate.

[IanMBooker]

What a kind comment. Cheers mate.

[playm]

thanks a lot , you made my night

great cover, great tutorial

thanks a bunch for sharing

greetz from France

[virgallagher]

great lesson ! but is this standard tuning ???

[IanMBooker]

Hey there - cheers. Yeah it's standard tuning. Gimme a shout if any bit's not clear

[leklinx]

wt beautiful voice!!!!

[rylaicrestfal]

Nice video mate, I'm still learning this song. It's cool that I found yours. I'm looking forward for your next video. Cheers :)

[33kalen33]

Ian, thanks so much for this. I have been playing this song for a decade on acoustic with the parts broken up to try and capture what johnny does on electric and its such a pain in the arse. This version does flow much better on acoustic and still captures the angst and bitterness. great job.

[IanMBooker]

Thanks mate. I really appreciate your comment.

[bridgesmatt]

Your guitar's out of tune :)

[genothelowrider]

Dude, this Comment was wholly irrelevant.....not kosher

[Tori24680]

it wasnt totaly irrelevant. he thought the guitar was out of tune so he posted about it no matter how wrong he may have been

[IanMBooker]

ha - yeah it is a little bit :)

[IanMBooker]

Wow, thanks loads. I really appreciate that - was so reluctant to do a tutorial (makes you feel a bit exposed!!) so I'm really happy and flattered that it's been of positive value. Thanks

[pmstube]

Ian, thank you so much for posting the tutorial clips. I remember when I first saw your rendition of this song and it was added to my favourites immediately. It's faithful to the original but you've successfully made a great sounding solo version - you should be very proud as it's been watched by an awful lot of people! I enjoyed your down to earth and friendly tutorial style! Thank you again.

[HM3]

Thank u very much sir, you're my hero

[viridula]

Great video

Thanx
