Lonely is the Night - Billy Squier - Easy Rhythm Guitar

[GodImHideous]

pretty clean

[ritira20mila]

No way I can get even to the first stretch at the A chord with my small hands... If I have my index finger of the A chord (2nd fret), how do I get my fifth finger on the fifth fret of the A string? Reed Richards form Fantastic Four. I guess when I grow up twice as big next life I can play it like that.

[42guitars]

ripping!! aw sum

[984zdriver]

[gmlasam]

Great job!! You play it note for note.

[paguaplayer]

Very nice. Thanks for putting this out there for those of us still trying to learn it. !!!

[Smitchell1000]

So sick man! Great job.

[xxxdemongurlxxx]

kick ass..i want to learn to play this as well. you did awesomely. ;]

[gr3hughes]

Excellent..wish I could play that. You Rock.

[firestar34b]

That was perfect... Glad to see someone play the song the right way and not add anything to it... bravo.....

[Riderdown727]

by the way, you do a heck of a job for learning that by ear.

[Riderdown727]

also, at 2:38 he uses all e5 with up stroke highlights up to the solo. my previous reply was for the 2:15 2:20 part. also in the 30 second range of your vid he does not go to the fifth frett, just lift you ring finger off and bar the 7th frett.

[BaddGuitar]

Do it's like a E then D/E at the 30-sec part? (07999x and 07777x) I'll give that a try! Thanks.

[Riderdown727]

more like (x799xx, and x777xx) do the 7/9 combo ()3 times lift the ring finger to the 7s (2) times then back to the 7/9 combo. i have his authorized version of the song and thats how it shows it. that covers the "lonley is the night part of the verse, then he plays (3) 7/9s (1) 7s strikes the open A and goes to the d chords you have in your tab.

[davidnahas78]

Sounds Great! What do you have that Line6 amp set on?

[BaddGuitar]

The preset is called "Leaders"

Amp Model: Metal Red

DRV: 12:00

BAS: 10:30

MID: 11:00

TRE: 2:30

CHV: 2:00

[THEtinybrat24]

amazing

[Danijeltv]

very sick

[Cusjus]

same wrong chord at 2:15 and 2:20.

[BaddGuitar]

What chord should be used here? Please post a video. Thanks.

[Riderdown727]

that part of the song goes,b5,b7/4 b5,e5,

b5,b7/4,b5,e5,d,c5/9,d,g5,d,c5­/9,d,g5,e5

[BaddGuitar]

I've always wondered how to play it correctly... what is B7/4 and C7/9? How is it fingered? Thanks for your feedback!

[Riderdown727]

b7/4, (x222x0), it is close to an A. the c5/9 is,

(x3x033). the e5 he plays is (022400), these chords give the song a lot more rythem instead of a power chord feel. unfortunatley the book does not have the solo in it, only what billy played, his lead guitarist did the solo.

[zachsta169]

@BaddGuitar haha hows it fingered

[Cusjus]

wrong chord at 1:15 during the chorus and 1:20 as well

[tweak767]

i have the same exact amp, pretty bad ass ain't it ?

[blitscreek]

turn you tune down alittle and up the gain!!!!!!! it sounded very god!!!!

[endorfin99]

Very Well done. Will look into your tabs. Hey is that by chance a hot rail pick up you have their in the bridge position? I just got it in and waiting to put it on my fender. Changes the whole complexity of the Strat ha?!

[BaddGuitar]

Yes - that's a Hot Rail. Needed a bit more punch to my American Strat. Have fun with yours.

[THEtinybrat24]

You are phenomenal!

[superfresh80]

Nailed it, and there are alot of chord changes and progressions in this song, not as easy as you make it look.

You can totally tell, that this is one you have played a couple of times back in the day. Thanks for sharing....

[deathmancunt]

this song is very cool. when i learned it i felt like a bad ass and you tear it up!!!!!! GREAT JOB dude!!

[mcbuzzed]

Rock solid!!! LOL @ the fist pump around 2:08. Great job!

[ihacknluvmuffins]

i have that exact same amp

[Iamtherealebonilla]

i am very impressed...great job!

[boomer1981abc]

the ending was awesome! great job :D

[SkylorMaxon]

hey dude, use should make a tuturial. i want to learn how to play that but no one actually shows how to play it.

[BaddGuitar]

Thanks for the comment. I did tab it out completely and put it on the site listed in the video desciption.  Hope that helps.

[guardiansg9]

[mattyp3400]

baddguitar=goodguitar

[Vulcanized]

Your playing is phenomenal! Amazing, simply put. Your skills are no match for anyone on this song, except for Billy Squier himself..

[soulmine1]

Nice & Tight, good job man!

[therealchetbango]

Don't take this the wrong way, but you fucking rock.

[katslater]

That was DAMN good! It is nice to see that my favorite song is being played so skillfully well. I want to one day learn how to play lonely is the night. Again, great job!

[SLIPKNOTRULEZs]

[Faceoff9]

Simply. Awesome. Great job.

[da2ricky]

[alteredlame666]

A bit heavy on the distortion, but still, you were accurate.

Good job. I can now play this song.

[PMcG6]

Thanks for the vid. Nice playing. Tone is way too harsh for this song though.

[bobalabocus23]

[IDrummer1993]

[cdbaer]

[snwboardkid7697]
