I came across this site recently. I`m 69 years old, and you have re-ignited an interest in classic rock tunes. Time to pull out my 67 Gibson SG and relive the enjoyment of yesteryear! Subscribed from Ontario Canada.

Just stumbled up this video and have to say that beyond the simple demonstration of progressions used in these classics, the most important element in every one of them is the ability to weave melody around these simple structures. Music does not have to be complicated to be great. In fact, it is often quite the opposite. I wish people these days spent more time on melody and far less time trying to impress their friends with shredding.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath was my main inspiration to start learning guitar. A guitarist played it at a school talent show and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Thanks Andy.

These bring back a lot of memories.

One small point: the Paranoid intro is played with the low E string open. Toni did this often to get a fatter sound because there was no other guitar to fill that role.

Let's see you play Harry Chapin!
Not just 'Cat's In The Cradle' because musically, it's probably his easiest song.
Chapin used some crazy chords. He was an incredibly underrated singer / songwriter.

Hey Andy…there’s one you could’ve added to the list that has both acoustic and electric parts and I believe there’s just four chords….Boston, “More Than a Feeling”…or Skynyrd’s, “Sweet Home Alabama”. Oh and lest I forget, ZZ Top’s, “La Grange”.

Great as usual!!! Many thanks from Brazil

For fleetwood Mac you said “capo on 4th” then played with capo at the 3rd.

Great lesson Andy, like all your lessons. What model Stratocaster is that? Is that American Standard Strat?

[freesk]

Wow! Thanks for doing the 70's! I think I may have asked for that in comments, but you were probably planning to do this anyway! :)

[jas]

The Jean Genie would be a great addition. ☺️☺️👨‍🎤

Hey Andy, glad the YouTube algorithms lead me to your channel. I thumbs up and subscribe. I think mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon might fall into that category. I guess it might depend on the way you play it. I was a teenager in the 70s so I’m old. But I clearly remember trying to play fins by Jimmy Buffett and the first part sounded like the first verse of mother and Child Reunion. So I switched and learned to play mother and child reunion instead… One of the first songs I figured out without looking at any music.
Nice work, Andy cannot wait to check out some of your other videos.
