This is the final track on the Raw Power album and the final lesson in my Raw Power series. It's only taken me 11 years, but I've now filmed a lesson for every track on the album (there's full playlist on YouTube)

This one's relatively straightforward compared to some of the other songs, but it still contains some might James Williamson riffage and soloing. It's all tabbed out below. Hope you enjoy it.

Suggestions for other albums I should cover in their entirety are very welcome. And while I think of it, Halloween is fast approaching so any ideas for this year's Halloween special?

Speak next week,

Adrian

Thank you for all these great lessons!

Eduard Rijks

Hi Adrian Thanks for all the raw power you put in these excellent lessons. Is it possible to bundle the raw power lessons in a patreon collection? My suggestion for the next album (my favorite album, of course): Double Nickels on the Dime from the Minutemen.

Davey Carroll

That is an amazing achievement ! I struggled to play along with these songs for years with not much success. Your videos, especially the raw power ones, have been instructive and inspiring ! Still can’t play them, but at last I can see what I am doing wrong 😝😝RAW FUCKIN POWER BABY!!!

Martin

Excellent, Thank you! My recommendations/wishes for the next series would be "never mind the bollocks", any of the first three Clash albums, or your favourite Hüsker Dü (maybe not the Land Speed Record), Minutemen or Wipers records.

Tim Mulry

Minutemen! There are Some great guitar ideas on that record.

Olivier David

congratulations on completing Raw Power! Roky Erickson has a live halloween album with a pretty fun song called two-headed dog that would be great to have a lesson on...

Ian Willars

How about a full set of tracks from It's a Shame about Ray by The Lemonheads? I know you've done the title track before but to complete the set would be awesome! Keep up the great work

Ian Willars

And maybe the Iron Maiden classic Fear of the Dark for the spooky Halloween special?

C#ris

"Graveyard (pt. 2)" off the Butthole Surfers's epic 1987 Locust Abortion Technician album has some pretty scary guitar from Paul Leary for Halloween.

K Long

Hey, thanks for these. Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell is missing off the YouTube playlist. How about every single song from Double Nickels on the Dime next? 👀

Phil Atkin

For Halloween what about Shadow Play by Rory Gallagher, the only “Halloween” single release I’m aware of (it came out just before Halloween 1978)

Tom

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in it‘s entirety for Halloween, maybe? Will there be a Stooges bonus lesson of I got a right some time?

Tom

Would fit the great memoir by Evan Dando released last week

Ian Willars

I hadn't heard about that, thanks for bringing it to my attention

Robsoft

Given your recent, epic break down of Marquee Moon, maybe finish off that album? (Edit: sorry Adrian! That will teach me to pause the video 2 minutes from the end to leave a comment...) As for Halloween - Ian Willer's Fear Of The Dark suggestion above is a great one, but if we're talking Iron Maiden, I would love to see you take apart and re-assemble their Phantom of The Opera classic.

Chinashop

Yes to Roky Erickson, but how about I Think of Demons instead?

Ryan Leach

Los Angeles stuff -- Dream Syndicate and Rain Parade's first records. Gun Club's Fire of Love. Opal/Dave Roback. The John McGeoch material you've posted is great.

Michael Brisbois

Is Bowie's Low not quite enough guitar for a full album work up? The Cure's Head on the Door or Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me might make interesting album projects?

Tom

With a guitar attempt on the Sax solo of Night Like This…

Peter Healy

Mmmm an album series, The Only Ones "Even Serpents Shine"?? Given I'm a Ron Asheton fan I'd love to see a lesson on "Dirt" from my favourite Stooges Album "Funhouse".

Mark Jury

Hi Adrian, fantastic lesson as always! Since you're asking...how about a short hop to Detroit to visit The White Stripes - De Stijl is a great guitar album, with lots of variety including some slide tracks and lots of pedal trickery😀

Luke Mundy

Not sure about full albums but just wanted to ask.. is it Smiths time yet?! Requesting Vicar In A Tutu!

Phil Atkin

Right, here’s a proper idea - what about recording all those Iggy / Willamson era tracks that never made Raw Power? There’s some BANGERS - I’m Sick of You, Scene of the Crime, C*ck in my Pocket, I got a Right, and of course Kill City and I got Nothing. That will keep you busy until 2027!

Luca Solari

yeeeeehhh, AMAZING !!! thanks a lot, Adrian, great lesson!

Luca Solari

An album to cover in their entirety? I would love NEW YORK, by LOU REED !

Boyd Anderson

Never Mind the Bollocks - I second that. Great album to do in its entirety.

Boyd Anderson

Adrian, great lesson, as usual, many thanks. Ideas for other full albums : Never Mind The Bollocks (as suggested by another post - plus you've already done one or two songs), Los Angeles (X's great debut album with some excellent punk guitar work - and only 9 songs!). In addition, perhaps not full albums, but some nice songs from Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash (early Replacements) like I'm In Trouble, or Shiftless When Idle. Or something from a (far too) little known early 90s US band the Gits, like Cut My Skin It Makes Me Human, Another Shot of Whiskey, or Second Skin. Perhaps something from the Descendents, maybe Clean Sheets, Coolidge, Get The Time, and/or Cheer? Or something from the only band hailing from this millennium that this old dinosaur listens to, the Aussie band, Amyl and the Sniffers? Sorry, one more idea for a full album, Ram Jam's eponymous debut album from 1977. Great classic rock guitar work, it's surprising they're not more well known.

Matt

What if you continued down the path of James Williamson riffs? How about tackling "Kill City" next?

Ben Ilsley

Thanks Adrian. The idea of doing another complete album is so enticing. Here are some possible criteria: An album to always come back to and listen to in its entirety; no dud tracks; guitar based; has enough guitar interest and variety to satisfy nerdiness and a range of student abilities; not done already on YouTube (this eliminate quite a few options including the Smiths? So how about: Lou Reed's New York album (great guitar tones, 2 interweaving guitar parts, lots of pentatonic solos), Any Other City by Life without Buildings (interesting chord voicings and triads) or one of Tom Waits'albums from his classic trilogy period with Marc Ribot?
