You're very talented, and that irrational moron buchanan has no idea what he's talking about. He's probably racist (or nationalist, whatever the proper term would be. I dunno) against foreigners. Who knows, maybe his relative died in World War II, and therefore he thinks all Germans are evil. Just ignore him I guess. He has probably never touched a real guitar in his life. Or rather, he's not talented enough to learn anything from these videos, and he's taking his frustrations out on you.
Thanks for the Who lessons... best on the internet! From Austin, TX home of Austin City Limits Festival -- happening this weekend... Put it on your list to visit some year
this buchanan is right ! that german copyist here is simply imitating and playing note after note but that has nothing to do with rock and gives a wrong impression, it lacks the SPIRIT totally : keith richards would be a lousy guitarist compared to this bore here but he has GOT IT, that WHICH YOU will NEVER have or even UNDERSTAND
@SOTHISISDEMOCRACY It's called doing a COVER. This man wants to show us how he plays it, his style and adaptation of Pete Townshend's works. It's as pointless as comparing Pearl Jam's cover of Love Reign O'er Me to the original Who song (regardless of how many people continue to do it); they are different versions. I'm sure you wouldn't play it EXACTLY as Pete did, assuming a prick like you even knows how to play. Why am I even talking to you? You're just buchanan's alt account.

well, in some way you are a blessing . you make a good laughingstock, first of all, second, you show the world just WHATS GONE WRONG WITH ROCK and its nowadays shallow pathetic castratedness - that can be a GOOD EXAMPLE TO YOUNG KIDS OF HOW NOT TO DO IT ! which could be a thing we should be thankful for. by the way: LEARN SOME ENGLISH, will you? that would be more convincing than showing off in some muscle shirt and stupid silly dreadlocks
buchananstreet, First I am an American. What is the matter with someone trying to help others? It seems to me you are really hung up on the fact he isn't Pete Townsend, Well he never claimed to be. If it is so bad show us what you got and let us decide who is better. It would be much better than all this namecalling and insults. Back up your bullshit.ricnrolle

but then.... why should you not go on and keep on with your pathetic little arrogant out dated copysim of some no longer relevant rock has been master who now is sucking the dick of w bush in order to get a bit of recognition here and there? you get your slap on the shoulder etc etc but please dont tell any young talents that the misery you display has anything to do with real rock. you are the sad and pathetic living proof of WHATS GONE WRONG WITH ROCK ! you show how NOT to do it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
listen you german epigone wanker! why dont you go out and INVENT something for yourself instead of trying to (badly ) copy worn out rock has been stars who have MORE TO EAT THAN THEY WILL EVER BE ABLE TO SWALLOW! you mediocre asshole insult me as a nut? id gladly be a NUT much more than an ugly, untalented, arrogant, boring thief like you seem to be who is worried about what the " profession" of others is etc etc. its a sign of MERCY to tell you that you have NO TALENT !
i know I know, pete these days goes around and says " he loves" almost everything, he LOVES the EELS, he LOVES this and that which, as i said before, does not mean at ALL that I HAVE TO LOVE IT! he hasnt got much clue of whats going on musically these days and many times seems like a sad parody of himself: this playing here is STIFF, forced, copied, second hand, uninspired and a pale copy of another paled musician.nothing to do with rock, just like daltrey these days....
I am already SHOWING you what i have " besides of a great mouth" : a BRAIN and OPEN EYES and EARS and HEARt and I aint gonna take no bullshit from some rigid German tosser who should be building CARS instead of trying to teach the youth how to NOT play Pete´s music: I am sick of these German epigonic pretenders who steal talent of others and on top of it STEAL BADLY and with no talent : I RECOMMEND TO YOU TO SIMPLY GIVE IT UP! you have no clue what rock is all about !
Hi, I can tell you what Pete Townshend said after he heard me play "The Who's Tommy": He said: "I don't like your playing - I love it". That was back in 1996 when I started to do the show which I played on European tour and in Germany for more than 1000 times. Pete came from time to time to help and give notes. I have some nice memories and pictures of me and Pete and the great Tommy band from New York and Germany.

whats wrong with pete these days??! he even accepts honours and prozes from the hands of george w bush, the worst mass murderer of our era, and doesnt that say it ALL? a real and true artist will NEVER accept grants or honours from blood oozing hands, sartre didnt and many other really integer artists did so too, but apparently this doesnt apply to mister townshend who is obviously more vain these days than CONSCIOUS. he has huge accomplishments .thats no excuse.
you are a nut. A true artist has to eat just like any other man. To hear you a person should suffer fopr his art even if he doesn't have to. What kind of work do you do? do you refuse paycheck or bonus just out of principle. Would you just step aside and let someone else get your promotion,of like most of us would you just go after it. You are a hipocrite.
its the eternal trademark of the phillistines, the liars, the scoundrels, the copyists, the unimaginative and the slimeballs, the FOLLOWERS, not the LEADERS, to call everyone who DISCERNS a " nut ". but then ..BETTER CRAZY THAN STUPID, no? and YOU are stupid if you defend the undefendeable: namely that this pathetic punter here wants to emulate pete townshend and while diligently copying him like a schoolboy is MISSING ENTIRELY what pete was about : WILD, UNORTHODOX CREATIVITY !
one should NOT be grateful to people who blind others by PRETENDING they are skilled when they are NOT. its the same with clapton: he PLAYS the blues , he SINGS the blues but he aint GOT the blues !
people HATE being criticized and so they did when I said CLAPTON was the most untalented, over rated, boring, burgeois and yawn yawn musician ever to become a big star: people of his surroundings confirmed yet, that he was always ONLY interested in HIMSELF, and HIS career and his GLORY and cash AND that he would sacrifice ANY friend or other talented musician for his own career: thats not an artist to me, thats a banker and politician and careerist and hipocrite
booooooooooooooooooooooring and with no sense of rock whatsoever, you shouldnt " teach " when YOU yourself need lessons! r this is totally uninspired and is missing EXACTLY the point it pretends to show: it has no sense of rock whatsoever, just plain learned boredom, no grip !!!
Nice lesson! But excuse me, what's that sound how do you make it during about 1:17 to 1:18? Really curious about that. :P
