Pinball Wizard was recorded by The Who on the 1969 classic rock opera, Tommy. In this iVideosongs title, instructor Rob Schumann shows you how to play the suspended and major barre chord modulations that make up the body of the song on acoustic, as well as the electric rhythm parts used to create a heavy-textured Pete Townsend rhythm tone. Intermediate-level players will build up right hand endurance while playing the sixteenth note strumming pattern of this fast tempo classic played on an acoustic and electric guitar in standard tuning.

Yup, awesome performance and what a beauty of a guitar before smashing, but a what a smashing performance!

counterintuitively, that is actually one of youtube's greatest assets. it gives unique or small businesses an opportunity to reach a huge base of users they otherwise couldn't. in effect giving these business incentives to push products that otherwise wouldn't stand a chance in the conventional marketplace. so stop complaining because people need compensation for their highly creative efforts and you want something for nothing kid.

Beautifully done...er...with respect, except for the F#sus4/F#7 (F#,C#,F#,A#,B,E) chord on fret II. It ain't there. The F#7 with the open E string works just fine. Leave out the B natural. This is a Who tune, not a Rush tune. Beg to differ? Listen carefully to the record. Otherwise, cheers, peace, love &c. &c. &c...loved your Bossa Nova lesson Herr Schumann!

I remember sitting in my bedroom with a guitar mag back in grade 11 in 1990, no sure which mag now, and learning how to play Pinball Wizard.....and this is not the same at all.

I remember Townsend on The Late Show playing it on a brand new Gibson Hummingbird, before smashing it to pieces.

it's correct, but NOT like the studio version. I have seen Townsend play this in S tuning, but on the original studio ver, I think it is on an open E tuning. I will post an open tuned version in the near future.
