'Combination' is my favorite song on Rocks.
That came up a lot on the other Perry videos. 🤝🏻🔥
@@SpedSpeddingthat intro on combination is such great a hook! It’s like a freight train starts and gets momentum! Awesome song! We walked in darkness kept hitting the walls!
Aerosmith were the first (major) band I saw live. Steve doing backflips, Joe with his guitar slung low and hair blowing back from the on stage wind machines.
I think people underestimate the importance of wind machines in guitar playing. They are an essential part of Joe Perry’s technique.
Love Joe Perry. That solo from “Janie’s Got a Gun” always sounded like the coolest thing ever to me. The tone is phenomenal. Gibson Chet Atkins SST. Spent years trying to get the sound only to find out that’s what he was playing. Doesn’t matter, never could transcribe the solo perfectly anyway ☹️
I reckon I could get it down if I sat with it for a bit. 🫡
@@SpedSpedding Well, that would be extremely cool. If I wasn’t a decade older than you, I’d want to grow up to be you.
@@SpedSpedding Joe plays that one on an acoustic guitar I think
Rock is the best album of Aerosmith for me. Love your content. Keep rocking ❤
Thank you for watching, and I agree, it's a great album!
Wore this out on the Bootleg Live album. Great job Sped !! 🙏☮️🎩☮️🙏
Haha, you can see my copy of Rocks looking pretty much the same! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Amazing, weird riff. Beautifully played and shown, as always!
It's cool isn't it, Perry and Page are basically a masters degree in peculiar rhythms haha!
I was a professional musician in Boston during the ’70s and ’80s. I got to see them several times. I met Joe and Steven at different times.
That's boss, how were they? And I have to ask, Boston the place or Boston the band?
@@SpedSpedding I should have worded that better. I was part of the music scene in Boston during that time. I have met Tom Shultz from the band Boston. We had a rehearsal room two doors down from the Cars at the Cambridge Music Complex. That was around 1980-81. They were rehearsing songs for Panorama. I met Joe through Charlie Farren. Charlie was the second singer of the Joe Perry Project. Steven, I met through my cousin. Last night I sat next to Carmine Appice while at a Pat Travers show.
heard this on the radio back in 76 when I was 10 and I used sit and listen to the radio everyday after that hoping to hear it again. I didn't realize at the time you could actually go to a store and buy the record lol
Yea, some songs seem to sneak past me and I dont realize I am hearing an absolute legendary riff, thanks for bringing this one to my attention!
Always happy to shine light on riffs and solos that people never knew they loved! Enjoy.
Man that virtual capo is an amazing bit of kit.
I absolutely loved that album and particularly that song.
As an old, I remember shoving the 8 track (a form of media) into my "Craig Powerplay" and leaving it in (with a matchbook for good play) for many months, as was the custom of the time.
We didn't have your fancy new fangled "streaming" or "virtual capos", we played our music by banging our guitars against rocks and ...we liked it!
Absolutely! It's truly mind-blowing what you can achieve nowadays with just the flick of a switch or the tap of a button. And hey, don't worry, I'm no spring chicken either, haha! It's funny you mention that; I was chatting with a patron before about how I used to record myself into my mum's karaoke machine using a mic and tape, then play it back to practice songwriting and jamming. Feels like ancient history now! I guess I'm basically a grandad in this digital age.
@@SpedSpeddingSeriously, kudos to you for figuring out how to play it with the virtual kapo.
I swear, I remember trying to play it with my 76 LP by de tuning ...in 1976 . I didn't even know what drop tuning was at the time. It just sounded so cool I could not help but try and figure out how to re produce it.
Amazing time to be alive.
Also, Toys in the Attic is the reason I bought that LP in the first place.
Not Clapton, not Page, not even Hendrix...but Joe fking Perry.
Thanks for reminding me dude..
@@doggedout Did you let that low E all the way down then? Hanging off like a shoe string I bet haha! The Virtual Capo is a badass, I worked it out detuned at first and then thought "nah cba with that" my neck was having a melt down haha.
Great vid. Your zepplin vids are spot on. I think if you tune to drop C# and virtual capo -5 instead it will sound exactly the same. Plus it allows you to play the opening riff on the D, G and B strings.
Yeah that’s another way to do it. But for the average Joe (Perry) it’s probably easier to just sling it in Drop D and notch it down one more semitone.
Surely we would have the exact same open strings though so I could play it your way the way I’m tuning it as well?
Man, you are right in my wheelhouse with this Joe stuff ! Great Job as always.
Right on mate! Glad you're enjoying the Perry dive.
greetings brother...i am for one *SO* glad you are getting into the early aerosmith stuff; those first four albums are *GOLD* IMO...particularly *ROCKS* which i think is one of the most underrated rock albums of all time...i grew up playing along to those records; they certainly stand the test of time...thanks for sharing keep up the great work and blessings to you always my friend 😎
Thanks for getting in touch. If you stuck around to my ramblings at the end, it might just make sense. There's a plethora of things out there to learn, master, play, and teach, but it all comes down to time, doesn't it? I wish I had more of it. I like to believe I can figure most things out pretty well, even if it's tackling something for the first time, like when I tackled No Quarter. My love for Aerosmith goes way back; although, there was a time when I was caught up in my own ventures and teaching so much that they didn't come up for discussion as often. I'm stoked to hear that you've been enjoying the recent content!
@@SpedSpedding i am actually very particular about who i subscribe to on YT; and you are among the very few that i consistently like and appreciate 👍 there is indeed so much out there and so little time; thanks again 😎
@@MackAxyzz It doesn't go unnoticed, thanks for the support and the great comments!
"Finding the time." It hits home more and more, these days. Thank you for the lessons ;)
Thanks for putting some respect on Joe's name. Been a fan of him and I still don't understand the hate/disgust some people feel towards him.
His style might not be everybody's cup of tea but comments coming from keyboard commandos surely don't hokd any weight
Thank you for these wonderful lessons Brother.
Joe is thr reason why I love Les Pauls.
It’s a shock to me that he receives hate/disgust? Where does it come from and for what reason? Is it people putting famous players against each other? I never get that, let’s celebrate and enjoy them all. We’re not all supposed to be carbon copies
Fantastic channel, I’m learning a lot and you have a great nature/personality when you are chatting. I’m not looking for a response when I say this but it’s great that you take time to respond to so many of the commenters here
Imagine if this was the only one I didn’t respond to after that… 😂
Thanks, Paul, I appreciate it. I'm stoked that you're enjoying my channel, but more importantly, that you're actually learning from it.
I always say it, but comments like yours are the inspiration that keeps me doing what I do. I take pride in replying to people. If you're willing to watch, comment, and give me your time, then so am I. Engaging with the community here is what it's all about.
Toys in the Attic was my Favorite Sped. I remember way back in day playing spin the bottle with myself , my best mate, and two girls from the middle school we sometimes went to. Played that album front to back that day. Memories........ I'm ready to rock, and thanks Sped, for all you do!
It's a pleasure. Let me guess, your bottle spin landed on your best mate first go right? Fortunately... dude looks like a lady.
Sped, that is fantastic. Nice lesson...I've wondered how to correctly play that for years. I have a suggestion for another lesson. How about "Last Child" since you have Rocks handy?
Nice one, glad you liked it and thanks for watching. It's still on the record player so I will give it a spin and see if anything jumps out at me from the track. People seems to like these mini lessons. Just enough for the weekend.
I love how you show the Riff slower and it sounds ‘No that’s wrong’, Then up to speed and it comes alive, Love your lessons! AND yes it is why I subscribed.
Haha, indeed! You might be surprised how often I find myself convincing students of this very principle. Mastering something slowly before picking up the pace is crucial for its delivery later on. As you rightly said, it truly comes alive, but only because I can play everything with conviction. I'm stoked to hear that you're loving the videos. Your support means a lot.
@@SpedSpedding This comes to light very much, I think, in the early rough cuts of Black Dog and Immigrant Song - quite slow compared to what they became )
Love ya man your a badass guitar player and always poking some fun! Glad you got the FM9 I love mine too. Thanks for the riffing
It's mutual; we belong to the same family after all. I am FM9 and you are FM10. The riffing pleasure is all mine, thanks for watching!
Luv your videos. As a note, Toys in the Attic is super fun to play
Totally! Got both on vinyl.
I agree Sped, I like my Joe Perry neat, at room temperature, but like my whiskey, I occasionally enjoy up... and on the rocks. Speaking of rocks... rock on!!
One of my fave channels now. I do like your "slip out of character" moment at 02.29
I'm glad you didn't take the advice prior to 2:29 seriously... 😂 Painful.
My favorite Aerosmith album is ROCKS guess I’m just a 70’s guy love 💕 it
Wizard, Sped! Love that stuff.
Haha thank you! 🧙🏻♂️
My brother Sped! I was surprised you pulled more Aerosmith out of your hat so soon. Hey, if you`re on a good sublect( and you most def. are) run with it and hit nothin but net! Joe is on the 6 string bass on this one. Happy you did this tune because I never learned too much off "Rocks". But I think it is one of their best efforts!
“Rocks” is one of the best albums ever. I think it is Slash’s favorite as well. Last Child is such a killer riff!
Yeah I remember him talking about it loads in his book!
Hell yeah more Joe Perry. Rocks is tied for my favorite album. If I had to pick a favorite lead guitar performance of all time it would probably be Rats In The Cellar from that album.
I let the vinyl play on before, I reckon a few rats probably vacated surrounding cellars due to the vibrations. And great choice, you can hold this album high and proud.
Vertual Capo! Yes. It brought back all the Black Sabbath C# songs for me.
You are an amazing guitarist 👍
Ah thank you so much Jeff, you're very kind!
Good job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Apparently that’s why I subscribed . It was for the lesson on great TEA really😂😂😂😂😂
Seriously brilliant Sped
Would love to know more about the fracturell too
What a piece of kit
And you right so so many fantastic songs to learn
It’s a shame we can’t buy time
Have a great weekend 👍👍😎
I think we’d all be skint if we could. Yeah I will make more content about the FM9. It’s ridiculously powerful and sounds incredible. It can do everything and more in a smaller footprint than my old pedalboard. Beast.
Such a badass song! Do more videos on the rest of the parts!
Isn't it just, if anything else jumps out at me I will! Need to put this Virtual Capo to the test, haha.
Omg so funny i mention that when u drive.....same here. First 1.30. Kids love it to..head banger
Always great STUFF!!
Thanks again!
Joe played this riff on a Fender Bass VI.
So I believe.
Wow, I wonder why he wouldn't say that or discuss how to get around that in the video?
Thanks!
Hey John! Thanks so much for the support and the comment. Means a lot. Glad you enjoyed the video. 🤝🏻✨
Wicked lesson thanks
Very welcome!
The album that got Slash into playing guitar and the guitarist that is his main influence.
Actually, it's played on a Fender VI, which is a baritone guitar. One octave lower than a guitar, one octave higher than a bass.
I’ve seen him using a Black Musicman Silhouette to play it which sounds boss. Didn’t realise it was recorded on a Fender VI though, cool!
Listed on the album credits. Always loved the tone of baritone. That’s what gave Morphine their signature sound.
By the way:
IMHO, Aerosmith's "Rocks" album is the greatest American Hard Rock album ever, and the greatest single album Aerosmith ever recorded.
_First!_ Saw ASmith first time 1979 in Toledo, Ohio, tix were $7.50😅
Wow! We need to check the price of the last concert they played and calculate their rock n roll inflation.
Hartford 1976, $6.50. :)
Did I buy a Bass VI learn Back in the Saddle on it and NOTHING else? Yes I did.
Hahaha, did you actually!? When did you get that and which one did you go for?
@@SpedSpedding I got that Squire Bass VI it was fairly affordable and played well! It sounded glorious of course playing that riff through a Marshall!! Alas I sold a bunch of guitars this past year and that was one of them I honestly never played anything else on it!! LOL Now you've got my Aerosmith fever flaring up again what with all the Walk This Way and Back in Saddle you are playing so masterfully!! My favorite AEROSMITH guitar riff is Combination off of ROCKS , I think Rocks is the quintessential Aerosmith record. I also love Draw The Line as it's so nasty and dirty the title track played on an Ampeg Plexiglass guitar is just so BRILLIANT!! Well I am off to the garden to earn money for the Mrs. I haven't forgotten about your Wysteria either !! LOL Cheers Mate!!
No Fender Bass VI?
Tsk, tsk.
Fabulous as always.
Maybe one day. Hanging out with virtual capo until then. 🤝🏻😂
@@SpedSpedding - really enjoyed the lesson. Thanks again.
Aerosmith has several great songs and not necessarily the the most well known ones like “Uncle Salty” …it’s really fab, oh and “Seasons of Wither” has some great guitar parts
I'm gonna be in a right deep dive aren't I now!
Yeah, I cant even get a preamp tube up there. LOL You know , In the crack! LOL
You and me both! 😂😂😂😂
Hideous indeed.
Great video
😂😂 out of the context of the video this comment is great!
All those tracks on Rocks were great....
They still are!
You are way funny. Good choice of car music.
Haha thanks Carl!
Back in the Saddle, cranked up, on a good pair of headphones…..is the absolute best…..just RIPS.
I went to the gym after I’d recorded this, cranked at the end of my treadmill finisher. Got me over the line! 💪🏻😂
Very very cool video 💪🏽
Can you name the model of your guitar ? ( I know is a Gibson Les Paul ) but complete name of it😊?
I can, but I encourage you to go watch my video called “My Les Paul is a…” and you’ll have a great time finding all of that out. 👏🏻
❤❤❤
👏🏻❤️
Cool lesson….what’s the bridge pickup?
Thank you! My pickups are both The Buzztone 57 PAF Plus Series. I have a video where I put them in and go through the specs. Link off to them as well.
@@SpedSpedding Thanks! 🙂
Sped , is something goin on with your elbow? It looks like you have some sort of brace or compression over it. If so, I feel your pain. So many years using and abusing my muscles and tendons have a toll that will take, and it sucks. Hope I am wrong man.
😂😂 I do appreciate the concern and I have suffered with RSI before, mainly from editing on top of playing and teaching. I manage it now with good diet and exercise etc. This is just a fancy frilly shirt from Killstar though. 💃🏻
@@SpedSpedding Good. Don`t want ya goin down the path of pain. We need you. Your humor is infectious ya know what I mean? 😜💥
@@gib59er56 Yeah don't worry. I'm actually dealing with shoulder impingement at the moment. I have an awesome PT who's getting me into the best shape of my life. Use it or you lose it as they say. I'm looking after myself.
@@SpedSpedding Good to hear Sped. 😎
You just explained my milk run to Aldi.
I'm back in the specials agaaaaaaain!
What the he'll is blown speaker cacophony
Hello
Ciao. 👋🏻
That did sound hideous. LOL Being able to tune down with the click of a switch is awesome.
And it’s convincing too! Such a powerful box of tricks is me old FM9! 💪🏻😂 I love it. Petition for Virtual Capo to only be used very loud or with headphones.
I'm black and I live in a cage!
What kind of cage?
Not the way allenplays it
You’re no slacker. Maybe a slackette or slackista
Aerosmith were the first (major) band I saw live. Steve doing backflips, Joe with his guitar slung low and hair blowing back from the on stage wind machines.
I think people underestimate the importance of wind machines in guitar playing. They are an essential part of Joe Perry’s technique.
Legend has it that without wind machines, guitarists couldn’t achieve those iconic stage poses. After all, a power stance isn’t complete without a perfectly timed gust of wind!
Saw them in ‘77 and Joe, obviously out of it, fell face down on the stage and popped right back up as fast as he had face planted not missing a bit.
Assuming he let out a roar of “I’m back in the saddle” as soon as he popped back up?
@@SpedSpedding Could not hear him utter off mic, but I always wondered how his guitar did not break. The band did not miss a beat and as messed up as he had to be that night he was still playing his parts completely unaffected.
