I’ve played and taught Baba O’Riley by The Who for years using the F, C and B♭ shapes — then I watched Pete Townshend playing that legendary Shepperton Studios performance and spotted something I'd completely missed. Capo first fret! That lets him use much easier open shapes and gets more of that classic Townshend chime from the open strings.
We’ll also have a quick look at that brilliant lead part using the major pentatonic scale and unison bends. I genuinely never knew Pete played the rhythm part this way — did you?
