Richard Thompson Guitar School (1/3)
Loading...
Uploaded by frogpondium on Apr 25, 2008
Rare instructional video for guitar players, hosted by extremely accomplished musician Richard Thompson. Also featured in the video are Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones and Michael Schenker of UFO and Scorpions fame.
I found this video very useful when I was starting out myself because of how it teaches you the very basics of guitar anatomy, tuning and open chords as well as interesting techniques for the left and right hand, scales and more.
Excuse the quality; the film was rescued from an old VHS tape, so withered in fact that I had to splice it together with tape. Swedish subtitles.

Schenker's German-Cockney! Most Europeans speak American English.

Joni Mitchell's secret tuning, thank God I've found it.

Thanks for this frogpondium...The varnish on Richards guitar tells you how much he must've used it over the years. Excellent post !
-
The Joni Mitchell bit at the end has Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorious. Bitchin.
-
many people only take the road to open tuning with SIMPLE instructionThis is good. Get stuck in BUT have someone close to record it. You will forget it . Dont be a nit.

This is not all that informative. If you know enough about guitar playing to know who Richard Thompson is then you probably already know how to tune your guitar, even in DADGAD. But it is still fun to see Richard and hear him talk about the guitar. Thank you for posting.
