Richard Thompson Guitar School (3/3)

[ajwasp]

any further responce to the next parts of this video. Where are parts, 4,5 & 6? Anyone????

[psychobollox]

@ajwasp yeh. i'm just hoping they weren't mangled in the chew-up that would require video-edit :S

[czgibson]

3:05 C major scale starting on the 7th fret? 7th position, more like.

[hotzki]

@frogpondium This seems to only the first part of the video. Are there more parts than those three?

[frogpondium]

@hotzki I assumed the same thing, but I've been unable to find any other parts.

[Mouldytone]

Thanks for uploading the the these clips frogpondium. They`re fantastic!

They make it look so easy, don't they? These three short videos basically sum up my entire knowledge of the guitar; it just took me twenty years to gain that knowledge.

[pickinpedaler]

great humor in Mike not knowing "luthier", given his frequent need for one.

[WhatnotProd]

Whoa. Thanks a lot for posting this.

This is really fun to find. Been playing slide in open D for years, never occured to me to play with D modal for any reason. I've been having a ball with it for the last few days. Can't put my old Guild down. Thanks a bunch.

Like the show.

One other thing; lefties won't have a problem with the Flying V guitar used by Schenker. Hendrix switched to the 'V' when he started Band of Gypsies. Much better than the upside down Stratocaster. You can hit those high notes without running in to the cutaway.

[blogward]

Interesting, instructive and hilarious all at the same time. Thanks!

[skylark51]

These videos are an amazing piece of guitar history and pretty useful lessons too - thanks so much for saving them and sharing them

[mfpendle]

Amazing how much Richard Thompson here looks like a cross between (mostly) Chris Martin and (a bit of) Justin Vernon. Very informative piece for the novice. Thanks!

[superreverbking]

Despite being a casualty of booze, Ronnie has always had a great touch playing slide guitar.  He sounds great at the end of this vid.

RT, as always, sounds sublime. That Strat is my Holy Grail.

[QuantumPlenum]

Cool, lessons from the pros, great stuff. Thanks a lot for sharing!

[BabyComeOn93]

Woody and Schenker are just amazingly inarticulate.

[Hardwyck]

Guve Michael a break; he's speaking a foreign language after all. And I don't find Ronnie Wood less articulate than most people I hear on BBC Radio 4.

[BigSmurfaroo]

How old this?! Ronnie Wood and Richard Thompson look so young! Ridiculously young! Ronnie Wood has always looked in his 40's, but I've never seen RT lookin' that young!

Thanks for the vid!

[rca88]

New tricks for an old dog:

RT - finger vibrato vs. sideways vibrato

MS - string crossing for cool detuning

RW - Chuck Berry riff

[beanabus77]

What a precise left hand technique Richard Thompson has. Looks like he's well schooled - but he's self taught isn't he?

[Tessietots]

They make it look so darn effortless hey?? Geez, Im so envious! I could only DREAM of playing like that!

[45a66]

yeah, also they have those long fingers, did u see Ron Wood put his thub just on the E-string(at A I think).But rehearce/practise the barre every day and u get it.Not said that u will get to use it like they can, but 3 chords(or 4) can play a lot.

[VincibleDionysius]

well... I've read somewhere RT did have some training in classical guitar

[ITubeSheTubes]

Even more remarkable is how unschooled the other two are!!!

RT obviously gave a lot of thought to his playing technique very early on, regardless of formal musical training.

[wopwink]

Ronnie looks a bit spaced out

[fulltuneguitar]

まったくもって素晴らしい！

[VILASpeople]

Thanks, I have learn some things with this video

[BackFromOblivion]

These videos are GREAT and we'll watch them carefully tonight. Thanks! We Americans can wear the right clothes, style our hair, and, on occasion, play guitar really well! Once we're up to snuff on guitar, can you do a series on how to speak with an English accent?

[haupper]

Simply watching this video, oddly enough, has given me a trace of a English accent. Yet my guitar playing hasn't improved a bit.

[ThieleM]

No trace of a German accent from listening to Michael Schenker?

[45a66]

U are right. I'm danish and for me it looks like these english are born with a guitar, they do like it's the most natual thing.
