Montrose! Easily the best hard rock album of the 70's! This entire album will melt your head. Way ahead of it's time.

LP rips from start to finish. Ronnie Montrose is a legendary guitarist.

Wow....grew up with this album, played over and over and over! So underrated. So happy you're teaching this to a generation who may have never heard of this. And don't forget a very young Sammy Hagar as singer! Thank you for doing this, and the background of artist he played with, so cool!

You about outdid yourself in choosing this one - Ronnie Montrose was such a beast riff guitarist! (R.I.P., Ronnie)
So many 80's bands owe Montrose a ton of accolades for his influence.

Great choice !!

I wore that album out. Sammy Hagar at his finest on vocals.

Homerun, outta th' park! When I heard this on my friends' record player after school in 1973 it was a turning point in my guitar life and I've never been the same. Great job!

Hands down the cleanest, clearest, right to the point, guitar lessons on the tube. Its like candy watching these lessons with the incredible rock tone you get from that Les Paul and the great hard rock songs you teach. Thanks.

Watching your videos has demonstrated a couple of things to me that have been profoundly valuable: First, you've used the same (fantastic-sounding) Les Paul for each and every lesson where you've needed to teach an electric part, yet, I've come away from every single video feeling that you completely nailed the tone of each original recording. I'm a bit thick-headed so it took me a year or two to realize that what I am most responding to is how perfectly you've gotten the FEEL and nuance of each song, as well as the tone. Sir, your playing has profoundly answered the question for me that it ain't about chasing gear and, man, I will be forever grateful to you for teaching me that.

At the ripe age of 32 I picked up my first guitar and this was one of the first riffs I learned. 5 years later it is still one of the funniest to play! RIP Ronnie

Just when I start feeling good about my playing... then every time I watch one of your videos I don't feel that great about it anymore.

I have watched many guitar lesson tutorials and you sir are by far the best. Not only are you a great player you are also a great teacher. You are doing a great service and inspiring countless guitar enthusiasts to pick up and play!

I saw Ronnie Montrose in the early seventies when he was with Edgar Winter...smokin hot show and when he went solo I saw him again. I still have his first solo album and had Paper Money but it was on 8-track for those of you that remember, it went "kachunk" (track change) in the middle of a song. Thanks for all your work on these vids.

[garedrider]

Great Album! I still have it on Vinyl after all these years and still play along with it

[getalifepeoplereally]

First off, your playing is some of the best I've ever seen. Not just here, but in all your vids. So perfect & so clean. The actual song itself is only just okay, but the guitar parts, and specifically you playing it here, is absolutely sublime. So so enjoyable. Near-perfect blend of crunchy rock riffs, bends, fills, etc. Keep slaying guitar my man.

I use to love to listen to Montrose back in the day. I didn't know all that about him Great song

[pedraw]

Righteous lesson. Loved Montrose from way back when I was a kid. Another Montrose fav is Make it Last. Thanks for this.

[Jeff_H_the_Guitarist]

So much precision in your lessons. If ya wanna learn the song right and with all the details and nuance, your channel's the place to be!

[dbuzard]

You are a great player, Sir. Thank you for showcasing Ronnie's skills and talent.

[bluegroove]

Excellent lesson on a signature tune of one of the greats! Ronnie lived nearby and
he will be greatly missed.

[bryanmoraski]

Incredible album. One of my all time favorites. Great lesson. Thanks.
