BSG All Along the Watchtower - Guitar Lesson

[Pandorasboxxes13]

Thank you! I've been looking for ages for this version. It's great! Maybe I can finally get this out of my head by playing it on my guitar. If not then hey, at least I know I'm a cylon. ;-)

[skyke78]

Nice buddy, when will you make solo part ? ^^

[ZombieNixon3000]

Nice. I play the BSG version a little differently (C tuning, use some natural harmonics, etc.), but this sounds right and it's good to hear that someone else hears the same chords I do.

[loveyoubel]

This one I really like- the one in the OST doesn't have enough of THIS

[hm969]

try C5(9-11-11),D#5 (12-14-14),A(12-14-14) and C#5(10-12-12). I made it on the acoustic guitar with standart tuning and the sound was awesome

[Ronjayl]

@hm969

yo bro, is it normal you wrote D#5 the same way you wrote A ? (12-14-14) ?

[wokysoler]

Thanks a lot man, you rock.

[skipdinner]

oh frak yea!! thank the gods you figured it out for me. 

[joshmacisaac18]

thats wrong but i guess it works for u lol

[SciFiAssasin]

Sounds great! Ignore the muppets, who're listening to this out of context.

[juanjogibra]

i´ll never learn with your version

[blobbym]

err how could they do this to an amazing song. its rape man.

[EndofAutumn]

watch the show, watch the moment the song kicks in, you'll see why its so popular.

[obese21193]

hendrix version is so much better

[sadvamp1]

why to compare? if you didnt see the series you cant see/hear its way of music....its just simply an alternate version, but I think its as hypnotic as Jimi's version.

[obese21193]

its just not as good im sorry and if u listen to the original song by dylan its nowhere near it. this is basically not all along the watchtower

[sadvamp1]

But then the J. Hendrix version is not the all along the watchtower either dont you think?

yes its another sort of music 'cause its a COVER..... if you see the BGS serial and you hear the cover of all along the watchtower it will perfectly fit 'cause its a bit transformed/adapted for it. its just that easy.

[obese21193]

i dont really care that much its just this is not as good as hendrix version. christ

[zeikusername]

Cool I'm going to try it :D

[CZgrungeCZ]

this is horrible did you ever listen this song???by jimi???

[michaeldim1]

This isn't Jimi's version, it's Bear McCreary's.

[CZgrungeCZ]

:D ouu I'am so sorry...i dont know this..:D

[lifeguard212]

Dwight would be proud!

[mudien]

Could anyone help me with the actual finger positions of each of these chords? I'm quite new to guitar and having a hard time figuring them out.

Thanks :)

[bkingutube]

Thank you! :-D

[11moonelf]

very nice!

[Achilles89]

That was awesome

[CaptainP00face]

Whats your guitars name? It looks awesome..

[osamabinpawning123]

i think it's a telecaster by fender

[lezardvaleth99]

Awesome!

[thomasioth2]

Thanks something like this?

[SSJ3Iain]

Surely the actual guitar bit is way more heavily detuned than that. It sounds like its at least a step and a half down, if not drop C tuning. The actual progression is correct though, except i play it E - G - C- F.

[sid65811]

As I put in the notes, the actual recording had the guitars tuned down 1 1/2 steps to C#. My goal was to demonstrate this in standard tuning.

[BlingDogg01]

nice. I loved this version of the song as soon as I heard it. BSG rocks!!

[Chricton]

that was awesome

[revandarklordsith]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!

[Tretboot]

wow its that easy? You made me very happy!!!

[boozemonkey599]

haha I love BSG clever riff!

[ThorHal]

awesome ty so much

[MurderDethKill12]

yeah man great work i really love this song

[kaz234]

Very nice! I am sure this video made a lot of people happy! Look forward to the original tuning version.

[sid65811]

Thanks - I'm hoping to have time to record that soon.

[mithrandir1988]

Oh, it did!

[untergang1971]

i've been looking all over for tab for this so i could play it...thanks for the lesson.

[wattmeter]
