Thank you! Not many influencers are doing status quo, one of my favourite rockers in the 70’s

Great lesson, if you are doing quo songs, I always like "break the rules", good quo song in mho. Cheers

Awesome lesson, please do a lesson on the other great Quo song, “Don’t Waste My Time”

Great job Geoff...one of the first singles I ever bought, really miss Mr Parfitt he was a great rhythm player and had (for me) one of the best voices in rock..if you decide one day to do another acoustic lesson...why not living on an island? It moves away from the 12 bar blues that Quo were sometimes criticised for.

Thank you for this! I'm going to need to practice a lot to get the speed/finger stretching down, but this really helps with helping players develop that signature Status Quo boogie in their playing!

Thanks for this, great lesson. Appreciate it.

I see what you mean about the solo, to be honest, you were not seamless like when Rossi plays it. There were some semi pauses!! I always thought it looked easy, but if you couldn't play it, it isn't!
