[pipercollin]

[EllieF1]

thankyou!!

[internationalsc]

Love the riviera!

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

Did you put on that jacket especially for this video?

[arjenjuhlaa]

Great stuff, thanks so much

[dmarkj22]

Great tutorial. It is very helpful. Thanks mate. 

[PERAGR0]

Love the crunch those Vox amps put out.

[woundedhorse]

What sutcliffe62 is saying is that the 4th note (C#) of the riff is the C# of an A chord. Most people who play this riff fail to hear that it is actually D to E via a quick A chord.

So on that 4th C# note you need to be holding down an Amajor chord, not a Dma9

[jnperkins904]

Good really clear keep up the good work

[walendxweg]

Un permettez clair QUEL BON SON !!

Dude this was a Rebel Rebel tutorial with all he toppings.

[axesbowledaslove]

Thanks for the video. I was imagining all kinds of weird tunings for this one to sound right.What you are doing in standard sounds correct. The spirit of our instrument is to help others and you are sure doing that so thanks!

[Bettysdolls]

Could you tell me what exactly the modele of your guitar? I know that it's an Epiphone Reviera's one but which modele? Thanks for replying (sorry for my english, i'm french).

[KoolCatCurtis]

YESSS UR ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE WHO CAN ACTUALLY PLAY IT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rodrigging]

Great lesson, best one I've seen for this song on the interwed. Thanks.

For tone Mick Ronson used a Les Paul Custom with a Wah. He used to dial in the mid range bite with the pedal and leave it there.

[rrip1]

Great lesson, very well done, thank you.

[BrianaChristine1]

[Demiathan]

When you say hard to find, do you mean old rivieras or just in general. Im looking at one from 1996 and its going at a reasonable price, go for it?

[bahamu]

Awesome video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I hope you make more videos like this.

[fournierstreet]

Thank you so much for making this video. It was really clear, so helpful. You're great at explaining things. Although I only came across the video looking for Bowie how-tos, I'm going to subscribe, because I'm sure anything else you decide to breakdown will be interesting, too. Thanks! xx

[angy2323]

[goss1961]

[ibsenmaia]

@goss1961 Rickenbacker

[brunoneverland]

[JOHNNYC1969]

I finally got it done! It sounds so good but the fingers are not as basas they should be. Been only playing for 2 weeks!

[licksnkicks]

This was amazing. Thanks for making this newb guitar players day!

[ericld11]

what is on your desk?

[MazerRackhamX]

The thing on the right looks like a Zippo.

[sutcliffe62x]

oops meant to say just the third note actually

[sutcliffe62x]

really great lesson--however you miss the three-note chord that actually makes the third and fourth note in the riff, just before strumming the e chord.

[bleedingvenom]

best lesson on 1 of the greatest guitar riffs EVER

[twospoonsinadrawer]

Outstanding lesson for a great song. Thank you for posting this for the rest of us. You should do more!

[thepunkparade]

nice tips man! and thanks a lot for the chords...it's pretty tough to find a good tutorial...random question, but what kind of guitar do you play??

[olb101]

The one in the video is a vintage Epiphone Riviera, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan. If you ever see one, buy it they are so neat but I haven't come across too many!

[thepunkparade]

okay...that's awesome! thanks for the info.

[compassionrepublican]

good job. Lots of folks play this incorrectly but you nailed it.
