Loving that Tele sound, they truly are the chameleon of guitars, they can be used to play so many styles of music.

Hey great man, touched by and saw some of your lessons and Covers! GREAT! This song is one of my favourite of P.Carrack (and Ace) "An Ace Album" was a great LP and I still have it in my LP-Board. SUBSCRIBED! ;-) Have a good time and the best regards from COLOGNE / GERMANY from

[fastandfurioustokyo]

how do you mute just one string at a time???? sorry i am a noob at guitar! but i know the basics and what not. just started Guitar 1 at school.

[tonedr]

to mute a string you just have to keep it from vibrating which can be done by either hand in different ways - you will get it - have another player show you, most of all keep pickin!!

[roojunk]

Thank you so much for going through this song. I've loved it since I bought the album in 7th grade. Thanks for providing all the alternate ways to play it. You have good taste in music, but I already knew that from your other lessons and performances.

[tonedr]

thanks for your kind post....i appreciate you checking out the video!

all the best with your music,

dale

[glassslide]

Excvellent, as always sir---cool selection, haven't heard that song in years. Great tone---what kind of pickup is in the neck position?

[tonedr]

appreciate you checking it out and thanks for the kind post! It's a CS tele, the neck is an uncovered flatpole - i appreciate the feedback, i like a mellow strong neck PUP in a tele and so far i've been happy with this. Hope all is great.....your friend, dale.

[Cameragirl803]

Love this song!! Picking up the guitar right now! Thanks Dale!!

[tonedr]

hope you enjoy working it up....hope all is good!

dale

[CFMD28]

Thanks Dale, that is one purty Tele too! Your friend, Dan. Come to Louisville....let's jam!

[tonedr]

i may take you up on that! We could meet at Guitar Emporium and have plenty of guitars to choose from - thanks for sharing music my friend - keep rockin!

Dale, yes we were indeed lucky! But these are great days too - we still have our music to play and express ourselves. And we are very lucky to have you to share your tremendous wealth of musical knowledge and skill. You remind me of a finely honed golf pro with an immaculate crisp swing, who has paid his dues at the range and by paying all the time, but it's not really work when it's so much fun, is it?

Alfred

[tonedr]

you kind words are very appreciated my friend.....and i agree that these are good days! The resources for pickers have never been better - stay good - talk soon!

your friend,

dale

[megajeeplover]

[tonedr]

thank you for sharing music.....hope all is good!

[SqueekyDc]

Hey Dale, Great lost classic !!. I was very fortunate to see Ace open for Johnny Winter, J. Geils Band, and headlining was Yes at Rich Stadium in Buffalo, N.Y. sometime around 1975 or 76. When they played How long it created such a killer vibe that the whole stadium of 80,000 people were singing the song with the band !! Ya gotta love the 70's.....

[tonedr]

that's a great story & i'm sure a great memory as well! Also reminds me that those days i'm afraid are over for the most part - we were lucky weren't we! Thanks for your post my friend,

dale

[rustneversleeps1971]

Great chord options. The song almost lends itself to being a crooner type jazz song or maybe even a country song. 70's one hit wonders rule!!

[tonedr]

sure appreciate you checking this out - i think i'm stuck in the 70's!

all the beset,

dale

[Ezmend]

Great Job Dale! Thank you for teaching us another super cool tune....

Take Care my friend....

hello sir...appreciate the kind post - hope things are good your way!

Thanks, Dale. Incidentally, Paul Carrack is one of the most underrated singer/songwriters -- an absolutely wonderful, soulful voice. His most recent solo albums are stellar.

[tonedr]

agree 100% - the man is full of soul and what a great voice!! I'll be checking out some of his newer things thanks to you.....your friend,

dale

[tmo7734]

@tonedr Dale -- Eyes of Blue is a great place to start. Check his Paul's video on You Tube.

Best wishes!

[yawnac97]

Great lesson. Never thought it would be that easy to play.

I cant wait to play "How Long" to my band members tonight.

Would you consider doing "Youre the biggest part of me" by Ambrosia or Take 6. Great Gospel song. No one has done that yet on you tube.

[tonedr]

hope your band is doing great....that's fun stuff!! Ambrosia is a favorite for me - thanks for the suggestion and all the best with your music!
