My memory of Status Quo was Break the rules , my mother had the 7" single ( Must be about 1978 i was 4 then)

Fast forward to 1988. At that time I had caner( It ok i survived to rock on , and have been great since)

I bought 12 GB LP. That blew me away 

1991 RTYD Sep 21st 1991, what a great Day  that was, DD blasting out!!!!!!


Feb 1994 i Bought my 1st Guitar, of that was fun.

2000 i was on the internet, found great Quo Guitars Tabs, struggled with them


2010 Rocking sire set up.
The old site a great start, as i got see quo fans post threre covers up.

Then i thought let`s try a TAB ) and the built up from there.

2012 i seen local tribs bands. And been lucky to have chats with them, they are great help to me, and encouraged me to keep at the videos.

2013 had a meet and great with FF in Glasgow


2014 ah just have wait and see.

Quo music for me is better in 70`s and think there sound a Guitar playing was on fire.

I think from a guitar point of view they lost there magic, like the Tuning( ok Power of rock B tuning ).

I have tired some track of I ain`t complaining. Cross that bridge @ cream of the crop sound great with old quo sound.

Modern quo song that i like
Red sky
Burning bridges
Nothing come easy 
Rude awaking time
 The way it goes
All stand up
Gotto get up and go
Toung tied
Let`s rock
Looking out for Caroline. 

Best Quo Lp for me is QUO. 

Long live the quo.

Ok rockers i have done new videos. They seem much better that Mk1, mk2.

Along the way the videos in that past has shaped my musical thoughts.

For some reason in my head that i have discovered a few 12 bars. And notitied a pastern.

Prime exaple of this is , this is off the top of my head

1 SWB
2 Down the dustpipe
3 Good thinking batman
4 Juniros walling
5 Lazy poker blues
7 Caroline ( that was one i have missed calculated with that one)
8 Oh baby
9 Railroad
10 Bye Bye Jhonny

I think a new plan is needed to cut these down to 1 video.

A trick is they change the 12 bar formula in as Small way to there style of boogie.
Like they swap chords around like 1,4 and 5. Like Reason for living.

This time around this needs more thought like that list above.

Hence the idea would be
1 video to explain the 12 Bar Key movement ( sounds worse that it is )
2 one video to explain the Tunings ( B,C drop D and the Open G)

During the time off been expeimting with Electrnic sounds and Basic Drums that i picked up from youtube.

The past 4 years has helped shape my thoughts.
Like the TABs, the videos and the Music theory.

I sure i must have upset a few youtube followerd with the old videos as i deleted them All.
As i felt they were poor in sound and poor and nervous explanations.

I won`t do solo`s that is not a skill i have.

I will have we think of the progress and how move forward.


As we can see new videos is done
1 IMC riff+ chords
2 RHB break down + play through
3 All the reasons intro riff
4 A year
5 BEL into riff.

6 Umleitung riff( ah need to finish of the chord for that one) 

The main concern is to keep the videos short ( the old one lasted 1 Hour that is well to long)

9 minutes is the target.

Take care and rock a rock rock
