Band On The Run- Paul McCartney/Wings (Guitar Cover)

Paul used his Epiphone Casino and Martin 12-String. Denny Laine used his 1970's Fender Thinline Telecaster and an unknown acoustic. The entire song and album were recorded by just Paul, Denny and Linda in Lagos, Nigeria 1973. Their drummer and lead guitarist quit the band the night before they flew to Africa. They came back to London months later to finish the album at George Martin's AIR Studios

not many people know this, but the secret to an accurate mccartney tone is in the t shirt/vest combo.

[kastle]

the part starting at 1:20 is so iconic and easily my favorite part of the song

[coopscovers]

The 12 string is your secret weapon. Makes everything sound better!!

[evyalley]

This song has some seriously mysteriously awesome guitar lines and you nailed them!

[BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Never seen (heard) ANYBODY get it right at 1:54. It's always been a mystery for me to play. Not anymore! Thank you!

[srob]

That was a great cover! The tone of that Epiphone was good.

[thegodofwar]

More people should listen to the music this guy released on his channel. It’s really good

[pheonix]

Even nailed the stereo delay on the slide guitar, nice one

[francobiggi]

Of course I knew the acoustic guitar was coming, but when it started, man.. was so magical. Really loved it.

[g.]

The whole band in right here in this presentation! Awesome! Thank you!

[edmundorivera]

We are so fortunate to have people like you who brightens our days with your impeccable interpretations. Keep up the good work.

[operationoverloard]

Great rainy day song...another Paul McCartney "fabulous-musiced" song. I lost count on which one it is.

[thedrumdon]

Mccartney as a song writer certainly has some mountain top experiences and this album and song are among those for me. Your video only accentuates that and also Denny Laine's abilities. This has become my favorite channel- thank you 🎯👍🤘🤌

[kevinmcfarland]

I love listening to this, especially the trippy slide guitar parts at the end! Great job dissecting the different parts and instruments.

[collinemorris]

Damn. Well done. Wish my dad were still around to see this.

[jackelfick]

Takes a pretty talented musician to take popular songs you’ve heard all your life and make you appreciate them in new ways, great content as always

[SunSimLord]

Started playing about 50 yr ago, as a guitarist, excellent. Been hooked on this for a week. I just knew it was a Gibson. (unmistakable sound) 🎵 I'm a Strat guy but they never could have worked for Wings. 🎶 Thanks for sharing. New Sub here. -☀️

[guighs]

Please do "Too Many People" the guitar in this song is so great and i never seen someone make it right

[johnheart]

Holy Macca! That was awesome! I was surprised when the 12 string came in and then I knew that I was watching a genius at work! It was nice that one of the fab 4 showed up to prove the accuracy!

[tonycortezzaofficial]

Dear lord! I own all of the “ How to play the Beatles “ DVDs which were made very much like this ( split screen/ accurate guitars etc) very authentic and accurate, but what’s great about this is its Wings and taking it all into the next decade of McCartneys genius! Fantastic job mate!
