[stecklein7]

Grew up on Cheap Trick. Wrote documentaries about them as well. I had managed mega music stores in the past before my current profession. Music is and always will be one of my many passions. Thank you for sharing your talents. I am blown away discovering each and every style you chose to play.

@ 2:40...that pinky, dude.....how do you get your pinky finger to do all that work?

[TheSharkman2k]

Well done sir, subscribed!

[angela21215]

when you say it goes from Emajor to Eminor isnt that considered a modulation?if not ,when is it considered modulation?

[privettricker]

@angela21215 I'm not musically trained, so I don't know the lingo. But the typical modulation in a pop/rock song would be like in The Who's version of Summertime Blues. It's in A all the way until after the guitar solo, and they modulate up to B for the last verse. Or like in Lennon's song Woman, where it's in D and then modulates up for the last verse and outro, or McCartney's Mull of Kintyre, which modulates up halfway through then returns back to the original key for the last verse.

@privettricker thanks a lot man! im learning how to play songs by ear, and if someday you could do a lesson it'd be much appreciated.i know youve already done that with soul survivor but that is a song in open tuning.maybe a song with some moving bass lines and normal tuning.you could explain for instance not now but when you were in your early days of picking songs by ear, how did you go about finding the bass notes? by running a chromatic or diatonic scale until you find the note?

[TheVasicist]

@angela21215 I think that's a trick the Beatles started. It's not a modulation, I think, although E major and E minor are technically in different keys (if you're thinking about diatonic chords, ie chords that come from the same scale). A good example of this is "If I Fell", where Lennon goes from G to G minor in the chorus. They do it in a ton of other songs too.

[privettricker]

@TheVasicist The Beatles may get credit for making that sort of chord sequence common in pop music, but they didn't invent it. If you listen to people like Cole Porter (of whom Paul was a big fan), you'll hear it all over the place.

[ottocarpenter]

At 1:12 I start to hear Beatles.

[privettricker]

@ottocarpenter I agree. There's a lot of McCartney feel to this song (and a bunch of other Cheap Trick songs).

[angela21215]

.privettricker when you go from high to low on that chord with the pinky on the top 2 strings on the 4th fret do you hit the open G string?

[privettricker]

@angela21215 Time code?

[angela21215]

@privettricker 1:29

[privettricker]

@angela21215 You run up from A-D-G-B, then back down again. Only those four strings (the B string is open and then at the 4th fret).

[angela21215]

@privettricker thanks a lot!

[angela21215]

.whats the key of this song?does it modulate to another key?

[privettricker]

@angela21215 No modulation. The chorus is in E major, but the verses are in E minor. So it sounds a little weird.

[mattparrish123]

this dude knows alot of songs wholy crap

[faaradar]

You can see the bass I was talking about in "Gonna Raise Hell, Austin City Limits 2011".

[privettricker]

@faaradar Tom Petersson is kind of famous for playing what used to be billed as the world's first 12-string bass.

[faaradar]

I watched Cheap Trick on Austin City Limits last night and they were great. The bass player plays awesome looking bass also. I had not seen one with that many strings before.

[mike826]

How about getting out your Townshend Schecter and playing ''The Quit One'' ??? I'd like to learn that.Cheap Trick was great by the way and loved Burning Down One Side!

[mike826]

@mike826 * Quiet...

[Bunzypoo]

Geez you have a lot of guitars.

[angela21215]

i love songs with descending bass lines.

[sli43]

more trick please.........great cover, great song.

[notquiteclapton1]

Funny how Privettricker posted an acoustic song - seemingly immediately - based on the previous videos request. Privettricker, you're awesome!

[privettricker]

@notquiteclapton1 I aim to please.

[Cogue]

great cover, as always! There is a bit of "while my guitar gently sleeps" in this one if I'm not mistaken. Do you think you could make a cover of the Eric Clapton's version of "Cocaine" ? I love the solo but I can't figure it all out.

[kebek62]

Do you learn from tabs or by ear ?

Great as usuel !
