That was great. The world needs more bands like The Who.

Great Job!

Awesome! i love the who!

Thank you for your effort, PGS! These lessons are great!

really appreciated, great take on playing this classic

PGS demos are amazing. They answered to all those gear questions. When you want to buy a pedal , you check videos on youtube and all you get is a bad recorded sample with the same blues impro...in the end you still don't know how the pedal sounds! But with pgs you know how the pedal sounds on classic songs , with either single coils or humbeckers , drive or clean settings..etc... THIS is why I love PGS and always check here when I'm looking for a new toy. To put it in a nutchell...THANKS ANDY!

I used my new Lovepedal Hi Powered Twin with this lesson and it sounded great as well. Thanks Pro Guitar Shop for the great lessons.

Andy, this is great. Thanks for helping expand my repertoire!

Legendary Band 🎸 Nice lesson !!!

Thanks for the lesson. I always love your playing and tone.

Demo still sounds great almost 6 years later. I'm gonna have to go scrounge up a WIIO from somewhere

Fantastic!

Hey Andy! These videos are awesome. Thanks also to Catalinbread for sponsoring. I started a wish list of your pedals!

Brilliant thanks very much for explaining this to me. You rock!

Excellent job! Very nicely done - I've seen lots of how to vids - this is a classic THANKS

Great lesson - real power to the riffing :-)

Nice. Having to learn for a gig. Helpful.

fantastic

Thanks!

Pro Guitar Shop... simply the best!

very nice !

Nice!

very good

Bought a The Who shirt in Toronto and got asked about it while wearing it there all day long. Toronto people seemed to be really crazy about them. Gotta play this song :D

the Who had their farewell concert live telecast in Toronto in 1983 or 84. I was there. they went on to have a few more farewell concerts afterwards.

I love you ProGuitarShop!!

I had a fantastic sheet music book called A Decade of The Who where Pete Townshend hand-wrote out this riff. Andy has it spot on.

Hey PGS, I love the WIIO and wondered if you guys can do a demo/review of it? Rock on!

Love to see return of PGS.

I love the lessons you provide. Awesome! Any chance we could get the MIDI drum tracks you're using?

Great way to teach it, by just playing it slowly in parts without over explaining.

at .42. I think it's an A sus 4 not the D chord. I learned it that way. It seems to sound more accurate than the D Chord...I may be wrong...

Sing Andy sing!

Great lesson, thanks! What pickups are Andy's Les Paul loaded up with?

Thanks for the slow walk through, excellent! I know i’m a little late but the pedal link doesn’t work.

Glad you found it helpful! The pedal link takes you to used WIIO pedals on Reverb.

Can anyone tell me what they call the machine you can use to help with your lead guitar playing that blocks certain instruments out so you can take over that instrument ?

Yea I was looking for the bridge. Any words on that, preferably before the 27th of July?

Hey Andy, What gauge of strings do you use?

you need to buy an SG Andy....I have one for sale but its only a cheapie copy

seems that the DRRI is the go to amp for demoing pedals many times which is just fine by me because I own one. However, Id like to know if the amp has been modified at all, for instance with Mercury Mag transformers and a new speaker (like mine) or if its just stock. I think the general consensus is the stock DRRI is a bit bright and thin so it would be nice to know if the amp is stock or not when considering how it will actually sound if you bought the effect pedal.

This is certainly a great amp for pedals. It seems to me that amps with really usable clean sections and not a lot of multi channel high gain stuff end up working great with pedals. My Epi Valve Junior is a beast with pedals.

How a lesson should be taught

Could we get sleeping ute by grizzly bear?

Ironically, I believe Townshend oringinally played a good 'ole Telecaster for this song.

well there are rare times when you see Andy using a pic

now do substitute by el caco

Yeah come to think of it, I don't think ProGuitarShop has ever demo'd an SG. Guess they don't sell them.

We are the Mods, we are the Mods! It doesn't ring as loudly on a keyboard.

The intro are similar chords to Floyd run like hell?

Eh, too clean and allegro. You missed that rolling, booming sound that Pete put into the lower notes of the riff. Maybe it's just the Les Paul making everything sound too tidy.

Andy's usually dead on, but I disagree with how he plays the opeing riff. While continuously striking the open D string, you play the G-B-E strings 7-7-5(/-/), 6-5-5(/), 4-4-3(//) 2-3-2(//). The constant open D is key to the sound. Just MHO. No disrespect to The Man.

You are correct that the opening riff is wrong. It should be voiced up higher at the start, at the 10th fret with open D string; then the A triad at 9th fret, G triad at 7th fret, the D triad at 5th fret. D string droning all the way. It's a descending line, D, A, G, D. Sounds great on Rick 12 string. I think there are better ways to play the Em passage as well, but hey he's Andy and I'm not.

Sorry, you're wrong. I've been playing it the way Andy does for 25 years and watch the video on YoTube. You not only can see Pete doing it (miming of course) but how can you NOT hear that D to D change? It's so obvious. It's on all the versions. The single, the BBC one, Leeds, Hull, etc. You owe Andy an apology buddy. And if you still disagree with all the evidence (visual and audio) you may not be as good as you think you are. Just saying...
