New Girl Now -Honeymoon Suite - Guitar Tutorial by Derry Grehan

[Drummershead]

One of the most underrated and underappreciated guitar players. Amazing composition and technique. Thanks so much for your videos.

[mrslate]

Really cool to have the guy who wrote the parts show you how it's done.

[Metalcop]

I am SO GLAD that I stumbled across this channel!! I have always loved Honeymoon Suite and Derry Grehan! Your licks are so tasteful and they're just Rock'n'Roll, no other way to put it. No better way to learn HS tunes than from THE MAN himself! Thanks, Derry.

Quintessential Canadian Rock Icons. Still makes me crank up the volume, everytime.

[stringman]

so great of you to share this.; You guys were a killer band and the music still holds up today. Thank you!

[chaosmusician]

Great Canadian guitarist and songwriter, still going strong! Inspired, everytime. Thanks for the music and lesson Derry.

[keithjohnson]

So cool he comes on here and breaks it down. One of my favorite songs of the 80's, played it wrong in every band I've been in....

[Relaxlifeisshort]

Very under rated guitarists in my top 5
Love your play.

[SHYNALP]

Finally! The definitive lesson.
-a masterpiece song.

[Paul-rtdl]

Very few artists take the time to share something like this. Thank you. The song is a little out of my league so normally I’d bail out as trying to learn it by piecing together 10 semi accurate versions on the internet would not inspire me to invest the time. But here the man himself is the teacher so there are no excuses for not stepping up to try.

[markadams]

Thank you so much Derry I've waited an eternity for someone to teach me how to play this song and to learn from the master himself it could not get any better.

[chuckjones]

Another little tidbit I find fascinating about this track is the thick reverb on the snare drum only in the intro. It's literally dripping in reverb. Love that.
Also the keyboard parts during the chorus are what really drives that part home. I honestly am not a keyboard fan. Never have been but this song uses them very strategically.

[CJtheGen-X]

I don't know if I can express how much HS means and meant to me growing up in the 80s! \m/
Thanks SO MUCH, for all the awesome tunes!

[muchofish]

Always great to hear it from the original artist! Thank you Derry for the instructional video - we're adding this song to our setlist! Such a great hook 👍

[davidsavoie]

Thanks for putting this out there. I can remember listening to the record on my Mom’s HiFi with my amp blaring out of the basement trying to learn this song! Great memories, it was such a great time for music and you guys did Canada proud!

[sikohki_]

Awesome tune next up to learn! Thanks for posting! We were at the Honeymoon Suite concert at Grey Eagle Resort in Calgary Dec 30 2022 you guys are great! 👍

[RicardoEBeck]

Honeymoon Suite was one of my favorite 80s bands.

I remember you guys playing with Heart in Pittsburgh, PA. Most people were sitting down... Then, you played New Girl Now. Everyone got up on their feet. Great memories, Derry!

[chrisbertrand]

I have New Girl Now in my video rotation, I randomly do a "then and now" on members, as drummer, I can appreciate all aspects of the band. I'm an 80's kid so this song was huge (for me) back then and when watching the music video today...between the hair/bandana and play style of when you are doing the solo....not only is this vid a cool insight to the song and rift, the original music video showed how much "fun" it was to actually play it and the talent to achieve that solo. It's to bad music of this caliber isn't more prevalent, most of the music today is just plain disposable. It's 2022 and still I'm still listening repeatedly a great track from 1984. Thanks for the video, really cool to see you showing off how the cake was baked. Chris.
