Saw the Who a few times in 1976 one was a general admission against the stage! Wow! Pete with ALL his numbered Gibson Gold Tops...Paint By Numbers! He did!👍❤️😎

It's crazy how many different sounds this guitar does well.

Yep, it’s a rock n roll machine!

The Who songs are my final frontier in guitar. Never could figure out the most popular of them on my own. Pete is a tricky guy.

One of the most powerfull rock songs ever made .One of my favorite one's.

I sometimes argue it’s the greatest rock song. But I’ve made that argument about a lot of songs!

Pete was the original hyper wild man...Windmills, jumps, scissor kicks, kicks of all types, cannon balls, slides...and of course smashing...= the most exciting guitar player ever and most prolific songwriter.......

that's a gorgeous Gretsch! good lesson too

your sound is pure gold...

I've said before I will say it again I have learned more from your channel over the past couple years than I did playing for 30 years before! Thank You JJ!!! You are amazing!!!

I watch this regularly. Such a great job and a fun tune to play.

What a beautiful sounding guitar

Ha!! Looked like you were gonna break into the windmill in there.

I can't express how grateful I am for your lessons. I've learned tons from You, stuff I didn't know that exists. Greetings from Poland.

Frickin just like W O W man! Turn it up! Thanks for the lesson. Made my Week! This is Rock and Roll. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Best scream in Rock and Roll. (Jim Morrison was had a pretty good holler too!) Thanks man. This is just so excellent. Only wish i was 17 again. Vancouver BC Canada

J love the controlled windmills !!

hey..i play the drums but I still love all your Who covers...u have Pete down to a tee!

Fuckin Greatest band ever. thanks Jim!

Unbelievable!!! After playing one of the very best songs in history you're straight in "Ok......" I'd be doing cartwheels and screaming that I could play like that!

Great!!! Live version with Noel in Royal Albert so powerfull.

Really is impossible to play without succumbing to the temptation to windmill. Even if you are sitting down.

The best video on this song ! Thank you so much.

Honestly, this is my favorite song, period. Thanks James :)

Excellent job. Agreed, one of the all-time greats...Awesome Black Falcon!!

Looks like I’m 3 years late posting this, but recently became obsessed with playing this song. So glad you had a lesson on it! Been following you since the PT days. You have helped to make me a better guitar player! I appreciate all you do!

James James, that is impressive! Kudos to you. That's all one can say. You've nailed it all the way around.

Man! You're the BEST! LOVE YOU! I started to play guitar and learned the same way as you. All by ear. BLACK FALCON! MY DREAM GUITAR! All love from Brazil! Keep up the good work!

That's a lovely sounding guitar! 👍

You're such a beast! This is the best way to learn how to wield the Axe, a combination of watching and using your ear

That guitar is beautiful

you are the absolute best. Keep them coming!!!!

James, this is a great lesson, great tone on your guitar, and a really great song. I never realized how many great riffs and licks the song had until your breakdown of it. Happy Saint Pat's Day.

A Fat Compliment, man 👍👍👍 Picked up my guitar and play - worth to put my old LesP out of the case again! Rock‘n Roll greetings from Germany

I have to agree you are a great teacher you make it easy for guys like me to sound pretty close to the original and that’s a great feeling I own a 100w marshall head 2/12 cab and my baby a 2010 Gibson les paul traditional which I have heavily upgraded and I could never get what I thought a good sound should be like until I tagged along with your lessons a suddenly tunes that I’ve loved since the 70s were coming from my hands and my guitar I can’t tell you how big a deal that moment was for me so I wanna say thankyou man you are the coolest.

This a must for any aspiring guitar player ! Thanks James , as always great lesson 🎸

That Gretsch sounds just like Pete's.

I could tell you were having fun with this one, and then I burst out laughing when you held your guitar up to the camera! I love your taste, love your playing, love your profile pic and your humility. Thanks a ton!

JJ you nailed it ... classic power rock to the first degree !

As relevant today as 1972. Maybe even more so. Thank you.

You are an incredible player, and an incredible teacher. Love your videos.

Thanks for the super lesson, you really know all the little nuances, makes it sound so good.

You hear, find and chord the nuances. Unbelievable.

Was just picking up on that

Well done. My initial thought: 22 minutes??? Yep, and I watched every one. Very clearly explained. Thanks!

Great music, great lesson. Some young ones needs to discover this one. Miss you dude.

awesome! its all about the attitude townsend's playing for me :D

Confirming something I suspected. With a Gretsch that has the mud switch, gotta go full forward with it engaging the muddiest position along with the bridge pickup into a bright overdriven amp. And the sound is THERE.

I hit like as soon as you struck 1st chord, what a sound 👍👍

I just learned a ton. This is great. Now I can't flippin' wait to get home from work and try it out.

You know I have been watching and learning since privatricker and I never cease to be amazed by your prowess. It is a sight to behold and learn. Keep up the good work!! Oh I forgot Happy Thanksgiving from north of the border!!

Love it!! Ive just gotten a really good backing track of the synth section so it will be interesting how I tie in the bits I learn from your video. Awesome work. I know, its 4 years later but I just love this song.

You have been inspiring me for years with this tutorial … I finally created an account so I can tell you how much I appreciate you!!!

This is THE best video on you tube. Amazing.

Great lesson and job playing. I love the Black Falcon!

By far the best lesson out there. Learnt some cool riffs, apart from the song itself.

Epic mate! Thanks for the upload. Love the guitar by the way.

OUTSTANDING!!

Epic performance of an epic rock song!

solid! appreciate all your lessons. thank you!

GOLD !! Thank you from canada!

That was awesome!!...... thanks for sharing!

You’ve got the feel , great stuff man .

Excellent! simply said!

I saw them on that tour. It was a lot of fun, but I saw them 25 years later and they just blew away the 1989 version of the band.

Killer !!!! Thanks 🎸

Amazing. This is the only true to Pete version I’ve ever seen. Kudos brother!

That sounded Gr8! 🎯

Really nice sounding guitar and great playing.Have a Merry Christmas.Thanks Dave.

I don't even know if I commented here yet. But James you are a beast with the axe. I also learn more from you than any other. Hope you are back to full speed. Seems like it from your recent videos.

That gretsch sure is gorgeous.

Brilliantly played.

I like the police man's ball acoustic version... that's the one for me👌

A nother great lesson James thanks Colin uk

This is a great lesson. You do great stuff man

I saw them on that tour. I was stunned by how great they were. It totally erased my terrible memories of the '89 tour. That was just an awful, awful tour.

I miss James James' videos. The guy was so laid back and he knew his stuff. The dude could play. Hope you're doing well sir.

You got it great job!!

great rendition - well done

spectacular playing - thanks man!

Quality tutorial. Thanks man!

I've had a lot of fun playing along with this. There is a lot of technique here, and I think that you picked the best way to teach this lesson. Thank you, thank you, and all the best to you. Have a Happy Easter!

Yeah, it's pretty much all there. Well done.

Beautiful sound on that guitar nice down to earth vid instruction

Top class lesson. Thanks

very talented ..Great Job !!

Gives me goosebumps this song

you kick ass! simply said! thank you!

Great Job! I sense you were really fighting the urge to do some windmilling there.

Windmills, windmills, with this song it can't be helped.

Excellent.

Very Impressive !!!

Every nuance of Pete's style you nail it. Better than his little brother Simon does. Get some air moving with the windmill and I would swear its Pete. I have a video I took of this from the front row zoomed on Pete's guitar. (Shameless channel plug). You play it pretty much just like in the video I shot. I keep learning from you. Great teach at the end too. For those who don't know this is likely the most difficult song to emulate by another player. JJ just f'n nails it! Great job!

great job!!! Thank You

What a great way to teach great vid

ditto jim r.... learned so much j j ...u r swingin !!!!!! tanx

Awesome dude!...

Thx for your lesson. Your guitar have a excellent sound…and you know how to play it. An excellent guitar and beautil. (Sorry for my English, I’m Swiss and french speaking)

Wow! NICE!!! I I could only!

Awesome!

That Gretch Guitar still sounds great!!!

Well done!
