“If you don’t understand the chord progression, then you’ll just be memorizing a load of fret numbers and tab numbers, and you won’t really understand what’s going on.” You just summed up my 40 years of playing.
It’s such a brilliant solo, fits the song perfectly. It’s flashy and shows he can really play, but at the same time it serves the song melodically without getting in the way.
Glenn Tilbrook is very underrated. An amazing guitarist who always played the tastiest lines.
Just retired last week! Time to dust off the guitar collection and get back to it. Love your channel and have not had time for it, now have all the time!
Enjoy your retirement and free guitar time!!
Marty Music for songs and Zombie Guitar for theory and you're all set! So many out there like this guy; just st get it done! Rock on! 🤟
The best guitar tutor on yt, hands down.
Squeeze really don’t get the props they deserve. They took the notion of Pop songs to literary heights. And as ever, gaining insight into the brilliance of arraignment and theory applied to technique in order to achieve musicality is what I dig so much about your teaching. It’s why I eagerly became a Patron of your channel. Many thanks.
Glenn Tilbrook is rightly lauded for his songwriting but he's an excellent guitarist too and that aspect is often overlooked. He's a big Hendrix fan too.Thanks for this, great instruction as usual.
Glen is an exceptional guitarist not always recognised for his ability. It’s So Dirty another great solo
Both solos in It's So Dirty are incredible!
Glen is a highly underrated player that can move around the board with the most well constructed solos in rock. Soloing is great, but a thoughtful flowing solo across interesting chord progressions is stellar.
Thank you so much! I've been buggin you about this one for a while. Glenn Tilbrook's got the whole package.
1. Beautiful Voice
2. Amazing Songwriter (of course needs Difford for those lyrics)
3. Guitar God (saw him in a small club playing Hendrix on an acoustic behind his head)
Such a nice change seeing this, thank you. As a few others have mentioned/implied, Squeeze and XTC are hardly ever seen as bands worthy of much attention, let alone examining their solos. A fellow kid of mine in late 70s high school learned how to play this. Blew me away.... And now, years later, you've inspired me to take a shot at it.
Awesome song choice. That rundown is really intense . . . If you can play that, you can play about anything else
Brilliant stuff! A song I've listened to for 40+ years, but hearing the layers stripped away was fascinating.
Fantastic! Important to note ... Tilbrook didn't just write the solo, he wrote the whole tune. Big fan of both Difford and Tilbrook, but floored thinking how Glenn wrote this song around some Difford lyrics. Probably my favorite Squeeze song ... as well as solo.
He always wrote the music. Difford just the lyrics. Not ‘just ‘ in a demeaning way. They are geniuses. Utterly superb. Glenn’s guitar skills are amazing. I’ve seen him twice live. Fantastic.
I have a bit of history with this song. Back in 2017 I suffered a stroke which affected my ability to play guitar/gig. So I used this song as my benchmark to try and relearn how to play.... And I learned it note for note.. the song and solo inside out ... but ... that bloody descending run!!
This is not an easy song to master but your break down is clear and easy to follow. This is far the best document/lesson I have seen on the song. Ironically it is not a song I expected from channel that is a celebration of everything quirky and left field about guitar music. Superb work as always and a rare treat to boot. Thank you.
18:17 - totally nailed it.
Best lesson on youtube for seasoned guitarists, notes and the theory behind it. It actually makes it easier for me to learn and remember the solo as opposed to just learning note for note, thank you sir!🤘
You, my friend, are thee greatest unknown guitarist on this Earth. I first heard you teach The Pretenders' KID solo and brought back a flood of emotions. Same with this solo. Each lesson is so fluid, especially the Johnny Marr ones. I only dabble on guitar. I'm a drummer of 40 years. But still you are an inspiration. Bravo.
Thanks very much for another outstanding tutorial. This one is very much appreciated!
Love Squeeze.
Love Glen Tilbrook.
Love your tutorial.
So happy to see this song taken up from last week's comments! Plus, they're on tour, and we have tix.
I've been playing this song all Year. It's a true gem, thanks for sharing
Seen Glenn a number of times live and always great. The best was when he played a gig upstairs in a pub and you could go up and sing along with him.
Absolutely impeccable song. Great guide, thanks for posting.
Fantastic lesson and of course you are an amazing player! I always loved both Squeeze & The Cars from that period and specifically Glenn Tilbrook & Elliot Easton guitar playing! The common denominator I think to both of their bands was there publicly acknowledged respect for The Beatles as songwriters. I remember reading a Rolling Stones Squeeze interview from back then where Glenn & Chris said they consciously think of Lennon & McCartney when they write their songs as inspiration to help them try and write good catchy songs like John & Paul did. With The Cars I remember reading Elliot Easton said he reworked Paul’s lead guitar riff from “‘I Will” to make the repeating riff in “‘My Best Friends Girl’ that he plays each time after Ric sings “she use to be mine”. I guess that whole song had a Beatlesque feel to it. Sorry for going off on a tangent, really great tutorial please keep them coming!
Another brilliant one Adrain! Thank you once again. 🌌🌠👌
Great, great choice Adrian. Glenn Tilbrook is a seriously overlooked guitarist.
Great lesson and choice of solo! Probably my joint favourite with the solo on Some Fantastic Place. I am a life long Squeeze fan and have started putting out a few tabs of their songs on my channel. Thanks for posting this lesson.
Thanks for doing a great lesson on probably the most Underrated solo ever. I learnt this from CZcams videos (2), maybe 10 years ago, and now with your detail it has added a few small corrections and now sounds very good. Good to see you layout the high speed section, how I thought it went, but other videos led me to a slightly simplistic speed run. Top job 👌
Thanks- Great transcription and lesson. Appreciate you sharing.
Another great performance followed by an easy to follow lesson 👍🏻
Nice - can't beat a bit of Squeeze. Cool (for cats and guitarists).
I've heard this song 36 million times before, and I've never really paid much attention to the solo before now. You're right, that's great.
Such a great rhythm and lead part - thank you for the lesson on this!
Brilliantly explained, excellent job thank you 😎👍
Thank you so much for this Adrian. Definitely an all time favourite song and a solo I'd always wished I could play. Now I can. Cheers
Sweet. Glen Tillbrook and Elliott Easton had/have such a knack for memorable solo's. I nominate a tutorial on Marshall Crenshaw's version of Buddy Holly's "Crying Waiting Hoping". It possess a super nifty solo such as this.
Wonderful, thanks Adrian!
I am impressed on how you put it down so clearly and made easy to understand,now is up to us to learn it and put it to practice,awesome job, thanks 🙏
Adrian...you nailed it...great job....yes,,,, Squeeze one of my favorite bands from the 80s,,,saw them back in the day at the Orpheum theatre Boston....again...great job
Love it, please do some more Squeeze ! :-)
One of my favourite solos 👍
Dude you always give lessons on the coolest songs! I first discovered this track earlier this year. Ended up learning the solo by ear thanks to 0.75 and 0.5 speed on CZcams. I was pretty close!
Very well played 😎👍🏻💯
Another great video! Always appreciate the intro with the chords from the channel name at the beginning 😄🙌🙌🙌
Glen Tilbrook, apart from being a great tunesmith, great singer, is a great guitarist and his melodic lead breaks are superb.
More fantastic content. I really like the eclectic mix of stuff you play. It's a good Venn diagram with my own interests, but enough difference to keep me finding new stuff.
Great lesson - thanks
at 838 that melody calls to mind the start of the Kinks Waterloo Sunset even to a non muzo ! always loved this song
Great solo, notable for having no string bends or vibrato
Now there are two accurate versions of this solo on YT: yours......and mine. Nicely played.
Great tutorial, thanks Adrian. I had the single when it came out and played it to death, one of the best guitar solos of all time imo. Glenn Tillbrook is incredibly talented, Squeeze were one of those unusual bands where the lead singer also played lead guitar.
That is so educational to see it played. Thanks
pop perfection. what a solo
Perfect. Thank you
I asked for this one!!!
Thank you for the lesson, i picked up number of things I was playing incorrectly. I'm a huge fan of Squeeze and Glen Tilbrooks playing!
A fine job here!!!!
Excellent my fav Squeeze single.
Excellent video of one of my favourite songs and solos. I spent a couple of months getting that fast part down with the aid of a looper pedal. Interesting that the solo comes in on the second verse (usually it would be later in a song). There is an additional part at the end of the song that is interesting too - E - B - A - C# min - C# min repeated a few times and then E - B - A - E. Thanks again for the excellent tutorial - I’m going to try some of your fingering patterns to see if they work better (or easier!) than mine.
A brilliant song by one of our best bands, I have had the good fortune to see them live a few times with Paul Carrick in Jools' role.
Quality choice 😎🎙🎸✅
Can't believe I missed this...yes, absolutely underrated solo. It's like a mini composition (within a great song to boot)
I think you nailed that one Adrian!
One of Glens best solos and the song is great too one of my Squeeze favs
Always loved Glen Tilbrook’s guitar playing in addition to his sublime songwriting. Such a melodic player. Tough choice between this one and the solo from Some Fantastic Place as to which I like better.
Love that solo too!
Yes. Some Fantastic Place is a magnificent solo. Apparently he’d had it for years ‘kicking about’ , used it in this song about his girlfriend who had died. The person who egged him on to reply to the ad in the shop window, for a guitarist. Thank God she did. Oddly enough, the lyrics were by Chris Difford ( as usual). She was a friend of the whole band from the start. Squeeze are MASSIVELY underrated. Second only to Lennon/ McCartney in my book. The lyrics, the music , Glenn’s skilfully worked out solos, his vocals. Absolute genius. I never saw Squeeze live but I’ve seen Tilbrook on his own twice. Fabulous. A Fantastic musician. Oh I could go on but best not. Third Rail is a great song from the Some Fantastic Place album. Paul Carrack again on that one. Oh. Shut up!
Sorry. I meant ‘Cold Shoulder’. Or ‘loving you tonight’. The whole album is sublime. Words can’t describe the brilliance of It.
The solo from "Is That Love" is a fave too.
Fantastic! Thanks
this is such a great solo - done after the first chorus
Such wonderful songwriting, and your so right the solo in this track is lovely
I have joined your Patreon group ( on a pay as you feel basis - for now). I have to say it’s the bargain of the century! Your clear concise lessons of sometimes very complex songs are unsurpassable. I intended to direct message you with this unabashed lauding but couldn’t figure out how to :/
Your skills are amazing. I’ve been playing on and off for 50 years and whilst You Tube has helped me , there is , paradoxically, too much information from too many ( well -intending) teachers. I intend to stick to just YOUR posts from now on. Such diversity - Link Wray ! Pavement ! Hank Marvin !
Please don’t ever stop. Your lessons will last me til the end , and then some.
A million thanks and I’ll up my Patreon contribution very soon.
P.S. love the Tele. I have an ‘8502 ‘ American Ash model. Limited run back in ‘05 - ‘07 ish. It’s not as nice as yours but still sweet Very versatile. I’ll stop this eulogy now , before it becomes cringeworthy. Before?
P.P.S. I live in England too so that’s a bonus. Your diction and friendly demeanour make you seem like a real friend. Signed Stan , your biggest fan. 😂
There are many great guitarists, top songwriters and sublime vocalists. But I can’t think of many who combine all 3 as well as Glenn Tilbrook. Great lesson as always. A bit beyond me but I will try…
I think I’ll give up now!! 😂 Awesome!
Thanks for breaking this down! An absolute favorite of mine. Up to that time, what other guitar player jumped into the solo after the first chorus? Genius move!
Awesome!!
Just spotted a nice little detail @ 3:20 a 3 fret spacing on the rythm run up to give a dropped bass A# to resolve to a B. Very nice
Perfect
Great choice!! I love Squeeze. Clever stuff and great compositions. Cheers! Just wish he´d left the fast bit for the end of the solo. It´ll take quite while to nail.
I would love to see you analyze some Of Lyle Workman’s playing with Frank Black from the “Frank Black and the Catholics” album. His approach really reminds me of Tillbrook. Very chord change conscious and just a great guitar player. Great breakdown here of one of my all time favorite guitar solos. Thank you!
Always loved this solo since I saw Squeeze play this song on Saturday Night Live. I feel like anyone who saw that had their opinion changed of Tilbrook as a guitar player.
I'd love to see your take on Squeeze's Black Coffee In Bed solo too.
Waterloo Sunset nod at 8:25
Spot on Luis! :-) See also Peter Frampton's "Do you feel like we do"! (I had a comment blocked on Rick Beato's channel for daring to suggest such a certain similarity!)
Yes. Definitely. I just caught it while watching the lesson, even though I've listened to this song hundreds of times.
@@somuchmusic5628 I hadn’t noticed it before either. It’s pretty hidden because while the Waterloo Sunset melody is played over a major chord and starts on the 5th note in the scale, here it’s played over a minor chord and starts on the root note. It’s also twice as fast!
Excellent solo - hard to say whether Some Fantastic Place is better
In terms of great and baffling solos, have you had a go at the Loft's Up the Hill and Down the Slope? I'd love to learn how to play both breaks on that one.
Thanks for the lesson! Do you think you could do lessons on more of new wave and power pop artists, such as Elvis Costello or The Cars?
Hi Adrian, how about the mad solo from XCT's Complicated Game?
Do McGeoch's solo on Permafrost. PLEASE
Yes! Plus one this..
Adrian, what a great channel. Have you ever run across a guitar player named Danny Gatton? Please check out the video "heart aches by the number ". by Danny gatton. It's the black and white one of him playing up close. Great steel guitar work on the telecaster. Wonder if you would do a video on it. Also check out the one on Johnny be good. Great and unique solo work. Thought you would enjoy....Thanks..
Can’t go wrong with more power pop
Excellent, Squeeze sat between Pub rock and New Wave. Like the Blockheads,police and XTC they were superb musicians and even punk purists bought their singles. Soloing was considered ,'beardy' but Glen's joyous solos in the service of the song got a pass.
Please do the solo from Half Man Half Biscuits 4AD3DCD, it's incredible
Anybody know what that red double cut guitar Glenn is playing in the Squeeze video for this track?
Yamaha SG
Metronome cats!
How do you do that....
olé!
I agree glen tilbrook plays with IQ...
Posted this somewhere else: "Thumbs up if young Adrian from anyone can play guitar brought you here!"
But can you play it's coming home? I doubt it fella x
Next week 'something completely different' - was that a clue for a certain Monty Python song?
Classy! Though a bit Dire Straightsty
Not at all!
No fucking way! Nothing like Knopfler. He doesn’t use a pick for a start. It’s completely and utterly different. You obviously know Jack shit about guitar playing, or music in general, or anything in fact.
