Nancy Wilson demonstrates the intro to Crazy On You

and then I took it a little further with a song called silver wheels that was the introduction on dreamboat Annie to a song called crazy on you and a lot of people always ask me how does that go so it did it was written with a thumb pick but it eventually ended up with a flat pick but I'll start it out for you it's an a minor starts out with a little slide up and a pull-off thing and a hammer-on they call it [Music] so that's how it starts and there's another kind of a tricky tricky Joe Bob there it's your little finger on the second string pulling off to your first finger on the first fret then off open [Music] and you're just kind of its kind of a clipping rhythm sing the idea was to have the this string going all the way through which you can't do if your your fingers are you're using the other strings but that's the feel you want to try to get so [Music] that's the type of deal you're trying to go for [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and that's all just variations on the same theme I never tend to play it the same twice either which makes it really easy right [Music] [Applause] now what I did right there was harmonics which is you know the length of the string here you split it in half at the twelfth fret with just a light touch and [Music] on the the last four strings you can get a really cool sound by doing that you can hit it kind of recursively on the right hand really softly with your left hand you can do that in various positions all up and down the neck mostly where the dots are but so anyway that's that's something that was just sort of thrown into silver wheels [Music] [Applause] and it goes on

"That's another kind of a tricky joe-bob there". This is awesome! Thanks!

You know that's very considerate

So I've always liked Heart because I grew up hearing them as my parents were fans, but never knew much about the band. A while ago I stumbled across this video while going down some YouTube rabbit hole and was like "yo, who is this dude slaying it on guitar, and why is Nancy playing an acoustic?"

Then I went further into the rabbit hole and realized my entire familiarity with Heart was their early work and I knew like none of their much less hard rock 80s songs. Again, I don't know much about their backstory aside from what I've read on wikipedia, but I can't help but notice that they started to rock considerably less after Roger Fischer left the band in 1980.

Maybe it was just a changing of the times and they were quick to jump into a decidedly more 80s sound, and while I don't mean to diminish their continued success as a band well after he left, it really seems like their sound completely changed after he left. Kind of makes me question my perception that Heart was just two sisters who rocked super hard since it seems like their rocking got considerably less hard without him.

One of the first women of hard rock to sing and *kick ass* on the guitar!

Heart was so awesome for a good solid decade... until they turned into a milquetoast adult contemporary act in the mid-to-late 80s.

It's was nice to discover that they haven't completely forgotten how to rock, though, like this song they recorded with James Hetfield four years ago (which is allegedly yet another song about Courtney Love. Damn, that woman has pissed off a lot of musicians).

I thought that was Christina Applegate.

Nice! Great reminder to learn this song.
