no-one drove a song like Rick.

Mr. Rhythm himself. A unique style that has no match. Top notch !

I think you're kinda missing the point! I would say he's probably the best rhythm player ever. Nothing more exciting than the opening of a Quo gig when Rick hammers out this rhythm.

One of the greatest rock songs ever written. Fantastic to see it presented this way.

my teacher is teaching me this on guitar, and it sure isn't easy. the stretch is unbelievable, and Rick is great at doing barre chords especially during a whole concert!

these guys have come up with some stonking guitar riffs. long live the quo

In the 70's I was into the likes of Floyd and Zep, but the albums Piledriver, Hello, Quo, On The Level, and Blue For You are treasured possessions, an abiding memory is being at Quo gigs incl two of the three nights recording the Live album at the Glasgow Apollo when Quo really rocked the place with stuff like Big Fat Mama, Fortyfive Hundred Times, etc, its something I'll never forget, Quo were special, just incredible, and yeah that balcony at the Apollo really did "move" when Quo played there.

This man is just the greatest guitar player in the world. Look at the way of playing!!!!!!

The very best rhythm guitarist on the world...RP

Damn.. i think he's got got hands made of steel.. He an Malcolm are the best!!!

This man is a god! fantastic.......seen Quo about 10 times in my life.........brilliant back in the 70's and brilliant now!!

You gotta love that chorus part!!

How could someone "dislike" this?!

I love Quo.I've seen them many time but one time I got to see them in a club in Toronto Canada.The hard-rock cafa.I was right on the stage monitor two feet from Rick.After a ripping run through of backwater I called to Rick,"Rick" I said,"your a god,what can I say" He chuckled and gave me his pick.I still have that pick.Quo4ever :)

The guy's a machine. I take my hat off to him.

I've been a quo fan all my life and I've never seen rick play it as good as this, it's those little bits he does in the verse that makes the song :D rock on rick.

Thank you very much Rick for showing this.

man i can't stop grinning..... and i don't know why. this is fantastic!

Wow!. Rick Parfitt certainly earned his money playing like that.

How does he get that awesome fiery tone? !!!

man great work i can play this tune , but when i see rick play there is a lot to do on my timing thanks for the lesson . greetings from holland

RICK and MALCOLM the best rhythm guitarist in the world!!!!*****5/5+++++

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

der beste rhytmus gitarrist der welt

i still can remember 1973 , i saw them , in the good days , not now , and i saw them next tour to , that was the days guys

love it !Rick Rules.

my favourite quo intro/record, thanks boys

Perfect Rick - Thank you

its all about the swing!!

without Rick there is no Quo sound. I may be not like Jimmy Hendrix but I get chicken skin listening to this guy!!

That's true but at the same time there's certain guitarists who although not "technical" guys in the vein of Yngwie,Vai, Satch etc have an instantly recognisable feel to their playing which makes the tunes work. Malcolm Young is another a good example along with Izzy Stradlin on the early GN'R stuff.

Super!

@MrFlyffking Hi Ralf - We ship to Germany - unfortunately the dvd doesnt have subtitles. If you wish to have anymore info on the dvd follow the link in the description - or just send us a message back and we'd be happy to help.

@MrFlyffking Hey no problem - i was thinking would your dvd player or tv have an option where you can select subtitles? Might be an option. So it automatically detects the language? Sorry we don't have subtitles.

Great, I love these videos! Is this in standard tuning, because when I play it it sounds higher pitched?

sherr genious

Geil!!!!

TRUE

coheed and cambria and status quo r the 2 greatest rock bands in the world :D

It sounds easy but try to play and get the sound and feel he does is alot harder than it looks.

he Rick can you play Down Down gr from Holland

For the intro he only plays the top 2 strings right?

I'm off to church, I just witnessed god.... Long live the penguin crew!

Thaaat Guitar! Fuckin awesome telecaster! :D

Niceee

how does he get that sound on a tele? please someone tell me ? -thanks

10/10 :p

@cc75frenchygirl If you think THAT'S a stretch, you should try The Beatles' "I Feel Fine", which has several G-major barre chords on the third fret, where your pinkie has to momentarily reach the sixth fret -- which that far down the neck is an even bigger stretch than what you see here.

@ruenstones that's true!

So few who try to emulate Rick play their chords on the upstroke.

RICK and MALCOLM best GUITARIST IN THE WORLD!!!!!

@clarkykidda27 Same, that was months ago though. Amazing rythem guitarist. Impossible to be better than Rick. Impossible to be better than Quo.

@batseend he plays the e,a,d and g strings

@iTzFreakoutz Tele and Marshall and VOX AC30s depending on songs plus the way he plays.

well you heard that wrong he owned it since 1971 he told me that in a meet and greet at the heineken music hall 21 november last year

what make actually is that tele?

i have heard that Rick has his guitars custom made to look like that.

@batseend Yes

My hand hurts

anybody have tabs for this? xD i really don't know what chords he play... :/

he Rick can you play Down Down gr Holland

Is that guitar designed like that or is it just that well worn?

it's a bit tricky when I try to play it stood up.

wonder how much that pinky is insured for...

I don't understand the stuff after 0:52 tried to play it myself, didn't sound anyhing like it's supposed to...

@KarmaCleansing1 how about Malcolm Young?

this

Rick uses heavy gauge strings.

Shame on me, I always played this wrong the last 30 years. Cool video, Rick Parfitt is really great.

piahmetal. he plays f Bb and c

F7, Bb7 and C7. All Barre Chords apart from the verse.

you forgot Dave Mustaine :)

This is the shit my guitar teacher tried to get me to play. No thank you.

not really the hardest stuff he is playing is it.

i have heard that Rick gets his guitars custom made to look like that.
