Shadowplay by Joy Division | Guitar Lesson

[theredpenguin]

The instrumental at the start deserves a like right off the bat

"Shadowplay" was one of the first songs I taught myself, being able to play it from start to finish. It took a lot of pausing and rewinding on the tape deck to get, but I did and it was so worth the effort. You can never replace that feeling when you first do that, teaching yourself to play a song - it does absolute wonders for your self-confidence. I even managed to get that little pinch harmonic during that first lead break and I thought I was just so cool. those were the days.

I get shivers listening to this song...Its so powerful!

I've been playing bass for over 30 years, and Peter Hook was the reason I ever even picked one up in the first place. Shadowplay is one of my favorite songs of all time. I really love what The Killers did with it, especially the bass run at the end. I never bothered to pick up a regular 6-string guitar before, so am now learning at 50. This is the first song I have ever played on 6-string, thanks to this lesson. It's much appreciated. What a fun song to play - I guess all 4 members of Joy Division got it right on this one - Bernhard's guitar is so simple yet so brilliant. Thanks again!

I’m addicted to your channel now Adrian. Not sure where else I can learn country licks one week and Joy Division the next. Combining them has been a challenge though🤔
Great stuff keep it coming.

Thank you for this. Shadowplay is one of my favorite songs. I just checked out your website and I love how organized it is. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Another great Joy Division song. Some Buzzcocks would be great Adrian. My two favourite bands late seventies/early eighties. Or 'Another Girl Another Planet' Only Ones. Amazing intro solo

I absolutely love that you did this lesson. An unbelievebly cool, but approachable song. That said, a great player, like you, can make it really it soar. Thank you Adrian!

Adrian, you are talented. The cleanliness, the preciseness, the accuracy levels you have while playing is simply successful. And I don't think there is someone going to show up in YouTube and share both Blues licks and Post-punk songs at the same time at his channel. :) You're unique as well. Thank you for teaching me so many nice guitar stuff by sharing your videos.
Pray for me man, i've always been the lazy guitarist, got discouraged after every hard goal failure on guitar.
Cheers.
