NOTE: Sorry in advance for the bad audio
UPDATE: I've gotten a ton better at jumping and windmilling so expect a new vid some time this week.
K CHANGE OF PLANS: I noticed I'll be able to afford a new amp sooner than expected, so I'll wait to re-do this whenever that happens. My poor overworked 10 watt can't wait for the rest.

So as most people know, Pete Townsend is not only an extraordinary guitarist but had such energy, his performances were legendary. I decided to try to capture a bit of that energy, and play Won't Get Fooled Again.
Lead guitar, energy, and of course, you guessed it!!! WINDMILLING!!!

  • Thanks. Watched your vids, and nothing feels better than a positive comment from another guitar player (Especially a good one like yourself, haha).

  • great cover man next time windmill it lol

  • he looked so awkward in the beginning he didn't know what to do with his arms so he did some stretches

  • Haha, I learned to play this song pretty well, so I got all cocky and started windmilling. Now, I've never practiced it, but I've been obsessed with The Who since I was five, and I've seen a lot of windmilling from Pete in my days. Regardless, first try, I cut the HELL out of my thumb. At least I didn't impale it on the whammy bar like Pete did...

  • @soulreaper979 I hate little amps because when i play guitar i like to feel the it so i need it to be loud and 10 watts doesn't do that. I use a 100 watt all tube peavey and my whole house vibrates.

  • BAD SOUND!

  • for some reason at 7:50 u look like sam winchester from supernatural kind of

  • A+ on enjoying the song

  • Well......U gave it a good shot!

  • whats the problem with a 10 watt amp? if u have 100 watt amp it doesnt mean ur good

  • From another Pete Townsend-esque jumper and windmiller Good Job. Shredded my fingers many times learning this tune and still kinda limp from attempting an epic stage leap...look forward to the new vid...

  • A for effort. lol

  • is that your only amp? that little 10 watt?

  • buy a sound efect for ex. Marshall GV2 , whit this you gonna sound like the who

  • You know... I've been playing guitar for like.... 8 months now and I never even thought about the windmill.... lol forgot that there was such a thing
