Betcha Can't Play This with Whitesnake's Doug Aldrich #2

[azmanabdula]

Im gonna go play it......

So *sticks tongue out*

[MrGuitardude420]

I like Nirvana :(

[bkobshat99]

sweet

[PhoneHell]

betcha cant use more treble

[andrewcy17]

the begining sound a little like randy rhoads' spotlight solo

[AmnellAndreas]

Finally a guitarist who doesn't try to metalshredd!

[MadJack122]

@AmnellAndreas he's shredding....

[ApollyonGod656]

why shouldn´t any decent guitarrist play anything of those "betcha can´t play this" ? i just dont get it lol

[12345678907940gh]

killer tone..!

[zeqpic]

music doesnt have to be hard to play, it has to be fun to listen, and easy to listen.. if you think nirvana sucks cuz they dont play this 'betcha can't play this' stuff, you're wrong

[ShortFingeredShreder]

@zeqpic Nah, they don't suck because of their playing ability, they suck because their music SUCKS! Understand?

[zeqpic]

@ShortFingeredShreder i understand, but don't agree ;)

I like nirvana, but that's just because i.. well.. like them, no explanation needed, and if you think they 'suck', i can't say you're wrong.

[rakyaband]

Poor of that persona named Betcha, he cant play anything :(

[PureMarshallTone]

whats wrong with all of you? nirvana was one of the greatest bands of all time, show some respect to a dead legend you trolls

[Rob0tsmasher]

@PureMarshallTone

Um, Kurt Kobain blew any deservered respect off along with his with his head...

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@PureMarshallTone They would not be nearly as renowned if Kurt hadn't blown his head off

[marc137]

jesus christ way too much treble

[stoob1969]

no

[Hellspawn880]

Lol Doug can only go so slow. On a serious note i dont know why he doesn't play with a real band...This current incarnation of "Whitesnake" utterly sucks. They broke their record sales last week: Four albums sold so far this year with a projected total of six for the year!

[newman015]

@Hellspawn880

More successful then you'll ever be.

[Tasos87fgf]

@Hellspawn880 yeah send us a video with yourrr super skills you jerk! And about sales.. i assume that the best artist for you is lady gaga? If there werent idiots like you around, maybe music would sound a bit better in our days

[tega132]

Hold on a sec wat the fuck is with the nirvana bashin ther like the sickest band ever to say kurt cudnt play 'technically' he is an awsome guitarist and singer fuck a hero and a legend and is earned more than most of u dickeheads commenting lol

[FlamingFretboard]

This guy is good at playing, but he's kinda retarded when he speaks.

[Berserkedy]

why is everybody bashing nirvana?

[qwertyuiop46853]

@Berserkedy Because Nirvana is widely considered one of the main elements that killed the hard rock/metal scene.

[Berserkedy]

@qwertyuiop46853 I understand. Thanks.

[ac1013dc]

why is there an ad for Jeremiah's Weed spiked Cola at the bottom of my video?

[cam01235]

yeah i got that suckhole add with the xman on this clip..like what hes playing u can do a lot with penta and chromatic..les paul sounds great i find em a bit of work to play not as quick as more modern guitars

[dereksmallsuk]

fuck the adverts!! get them to fuck!!

[85venom]

kunt cocaine = worst vocalist ever

shitvana = worst band ever

[85venom]

nirvana fucking sucks

[TheSasquatch223]

@85venom You suck.

[elementos94]

@85venom dude wtf is your problem, what your reason for them sucking. can you do what they did? stfu you talentless asshole.

[almostflawed]

@elementos94 because there is no real talent in nirvana. you can believe there is, but at the end of the day, it's just different as to what was going on at the time. Cobain blows, has contradicted himself a billion times to be as iconic and current as possible. If he was alive today, he'd be playing bars at night while doing construction in day.

[elementos94]

@almostflawed Alot of people love their music including me, so if thats not a talent what is?

[Mangoeeeeeeees]

@elementos94 Being catchy doesn't mean being talented. Overused example but Justin Bieber is a good one, his music is talentless bullshit but he's one of the most popular artists at the moment.

[youztuber5000]

@Mangoeeeeeeees Con artist...

[Mangoeeeeeeees]

@youztuber5000 Uhh what?

[youztuber5000]

@Mangoeeeeeeees Uh? Oh... Justin Beiber is a con artist. Well, actually it's the record labels.. or both of 'em, I mean.

[Mangoeeeeeeees]

@youztuber5000 Oh! I thought you were calling me a con artist, which was why I was so lost.

I do agree though.

[yourkillercustomscom]

@elementos94 I agree with you about nirvana blowing but don't ever mention justin peter again on a doug aldrich guitar video ok bud...not cool

[elementos94]

@yourkillercustomscom Who the fucks justin peter and i didnt mention him?

[yourkillercustomscom]

@elementos94 You know who I'm talkin about bub!

[rockerdude29]

@85venom fuck you.lol

[Sivels]

@85venom lol, compared to doug, yes.

[TheChazinator101]

@85venom what the fuck are you talking about who dropped you on your head as a child?

[DeathToMayo]

@85venom Avenged Sevenfold sucks.

[JIRIC8581]

@85venom who gives a fuck your opinion is like an ass everyone has one

[Ilikebench1]

blues scale. not pentatonic

[Sivels]

@Ilikebench1 it's based on the pentatonic scale with added chromatics to spice it up.

[SiR666Hamburger]

wow Owen Wilson is getting really old

[MusicManCormier]

He kinda looks like Owen Wilson.

[nejikid]

holy fuck, his tone is INCREDIBLE!

[jillmann0essenz57]

easy thing u noobs

[PapaHet91]

@jillmann0essenz57 does it make us noobs if we cant play that? i think you are the noob here.

[jillmann0essenz57]

@PapaHet91 that wasn't that what i wanted to say... to be honest,i even don't know what i wanted to say with that :D imaybe because it isnt as hard as it looks like ;)

[PapaHet91]

@jillmann0essenz57 true.

[RiniganMusic]

I can play from 0:10 XD

[polytie]

How right he is, I can not play that.

[AusMetalMitch]

We're not Whitesnake dude, we're Poison. I thought we were Quiet Riot, says here we're Ratt.

[qwertyuiop46853]

@AusMetalMitch Lol, classic.

[randyrhoads61]

hey im doug aldrich and i et your guitars not as nice as mine

[candlewick163]

I gotta be honest, I was not expecting much at all from this dude, but this lick really is pretty tasty. It would work great as like one last statement to a solo.

[DJGuitarist4God]

Well, I think I finally got most of the lick down... Now only if Guitar World will okay my video response... lol

[havjac95]

Heeey, you'r right! I CAN'T play this!!! :o

[jimmyleppard6]

betcha can't add more treble.

[jackmesa]

@jimmyleppard6

Haha. Best comment here!

[kavan7676]

@jimmyleppard6 Betha can't be more of a jealous fag.

[jimmyleppard6]

@kavan7676 jelaous? hahaha..I don't have time for people who can't take the bad critics about their ''best guitarist''. grow up. anyone can hide behind a lot of distortion. the real guitarists are dudes like jason becker, joe satriani, steve vai, paul gilbert, tommy emmanuel and the rest of the dudes that stay clean and flawless not just on the acoustic guitar, but also on the electric. So, in other words, your comment is null.

[kavan7676]

@jimmyleppard6 As much as i love Steve Vai and all, He still uses quite a bit of distortion, so I would harldy sya that is "clean" And who said I thought he was the "the best" I just think your jealous...

[tangypasta]

that tone just raped my virgin ears. ow.

[myskull54]

@tangypasta lmfao

[the7tearsof]

can you be any more boring than that? betcha can't !!!

[19920321sam]

who the hell is bet

cha

[AntUK]

Woah, he got a serious case of Gilbert fingers. Not just because he's an awesome guitarist, but because those things are frickin' loooooooooong.

[semanray]

this guy was probably dio´s best guitarist[sorry,vivan campbell]

[96Dethmagnetic]

that tone is just fucking amazing

[goodygoody23]

still rockin the highest rated comment...feels good haha

[rockerdude29]

Wow,his playing/tone/technique is better than 99% of people who do 'betcha cant play this'.and hes using the pentatonic scale! :D

[gman2024]

@rockerdude29 thats because hes the greatest guitarist of all time

[hukkunut]

@rockerdude29

That's the why I use the pentatonic scale. It's roughly the best/easiest scale to play pretty much anything.

[rockrocktillyoudrop]

@rockerdude29 true

[burningmindsvideos]

@rockerdude29 The other 0.99% = Andy Timmons

[zigzagbigbag]

@rockerdude29 I agree most of the betcha cant play suck. This is actually musical.

[beast6228]

Hi I'm Doug Aldrich and I just blew you to fucking pieces with my super insane elite guitar skills, you will never be able to play this, not in a thousand years.

[the7tearsof]

@beast6228 i hope i ll never play like this...not in a trillion years! cause i dont want to sound like a blond pussy in a guitar center going on everyones nerves who works there : )

[Alexandroshredder]

So great... No other words to say!!!

[KingOfShadows1500]

i bet you`re right :)

[iskate54]

micheal angelo batio should do a betcha cant play this video lol

[ht448]

@iskate54 nah then is would be " YOU CANT PLAY THIS" lol

[qwertyuiop46853]

@iskate54 He'd probably do some interesting ambidextrous stuff, he should really do one.

[joe62293]

Now this proves that it's not in the scales that make you an excellent player. IT IS SIMPLY HOW YOU EXPRESS AND PLAY WITH THEM!

[Lymesloop]

@joe62293 Here we have someone who likes Zakk Wylde ;) Or?

[joe62293]

@Lymesloop Oh yeah?? Yeah. i both like Zakk and Doug ;). Or what man? ;)

[Lymesloop]

@joe62293 Haha I knew it! That just seems like a comment that would come from someone who likes Zakk because Zakk basically just uses the pentatonic scale ;) Not saying he's a bad player! I like Zakk too, he's awesome at what he does so I defenately agree with your statement :) I just feel that some update and new licks from him wouldn't hurt :P

[96JaaFoX69]

lol, his les paul looks like paper

[myskull54]

I betcha I couldn't play this for my life

[codyjt5150]

NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT TODD YOUNG. I WANT TO SEE SOME DOUG ALDRICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[codyjt5150]

A minor pentatonic? Holy fuck

[goodygoody23]

@codyjt5150 hahaha more like A minor pentatonic with added god skills

[FzSBLACKMAGICK]

Pentatonic this diatonic that, key that unlocks my front door...

IDK all that shit, I just wail.

[alexandrern00]

Man...such a beautiful guitar..

[TubeFreakJonas]

@alexandrern00 yeah that is a gorgeous faded honey sunburst, probably his factory-stock 1959 Les Paul with holy-grail PAF pickups - but who cares, Douggie makes any guitar wail cry scream and sing like a banshee.

Go get "Holy Diver - LIVE" to see Doug tear it up on Vivian Campbell's best songs AND some jaw-dropping Blackmore stuff!!!

[nnoose]

easy or not that is jesus

[fattybergeson]

"this is in the key of a minor, this...thing" haha

[MyDanik1]

dude got loooong finger just like steve vai

[dockaiser]

Thanx for the Jeff Beck lick

[axelboy420]

wow, a betcha can't play this without some asshole using a shit load of sweeps... thats a first

[StevieRayHovious]

Lmao "....something like that"

[kamikaze2800]

Why do i feel even i could Jam this?

[Chris741113]

Just a buzzy awful shit tone...One of the worst tones Ive heard, terribly. Even listening to it a low volume hurts my ears.

[varulv234]

What the hell? I bet he ate a can of Whoop-Ass! right before that was filmed!

[Plague606]

@ronspeck That's what she said.

[ThatTallWhiteGuy]

who bends downwards ?... im so confused

[ronspeck]

Dude has inhumanly long fingers.

[goskateboard20]

i betcha i can that wasnt all that difficult

[rgt4all]

i so fuckin love his alien bends af ter almost each lick:D

[crow66693]

Of all the videos Ive senn from the Betcha Cant Play This series,this guy(and Marty Freidman)have the smoothest,cleanest,and most coolest sounding solos and challeneges.Alot fo the other guys just have some random shred thats fast and sloppy.Plus,this guys guitar tonen is fucking killer.

[pb999999999]

If i had those freaky long fingers i beter i could do it. But i have short fingers, muck fe

[Gibsonsolo]

@pb999999999

Man look on dougs fingers He plays straight with his fingers

most guitar players play with squat fingers

If you know what i mean

[Stashitquick]

extremely underrated guitarist

[metalmaniac2493]

lol, interesting discussion here...

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

awful sound

[MartinObviously]

@MoonlightShadowlolz YOU are an aweful sound!

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

@MartinObviously Your mother made an awful sound last night

[MartinObviously]

@MoonlightShadowlolz That was such a lame thing to say lol.

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

@MartinObviously Your sister was also lame, that's why I took your mother

lol

[guitargod7772]

@MoonlightShadowlolz ass.

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

@guitargod7772 Yes I liked her ass very much =)

c'mon don't make it so easy xD

[YouKnowItsMatt]

@MoonlightShadowlolz i used to talk about peoples mothers also, then I turned 10.

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

@YouKnowItsMatt usually I am not like this. But he made it too easy. I couldn't resist

[goodygoody23]

I wish he would get his live tone for BCPT, that kicks ass. If you don't believe me, look up Crying in the Rain with Doug, Reb, and Tommy. Unbelievable tone

[emmanuelrodulfo]

i hate legato

[Den1sVengeance]

damn thats one of the best and trully melodic licks i've heard so far

[popxmail]

Its just a scale for god sake

[dontdissheavymetal]

his tone blows badly.the lick is cool though.

[nlo13]

I don't particularly like his tone, but this is a hot sounding lick for sure.

[DeuceWayne420]

this guy is a badass

[fisher3368]

hey heres paul from guitar world

[jamierobinson777]

Come by my page and try my own Betcha Can't Play This video!

[bobtheatog]

@jamierobinson777

Your Betcha can't play this is fucking amazing!

[YAZZ69er]

god damn i love betcha cant play this, becuz rite after they melt ur face off there all calm and say - "now this is a @^%#$^ scale" and u just sit there like just stop, haha

[HurricaneTBag]

@YAZZ69er That's all guitar solos are, scales and arpeggios....

[grahamzandah]

@YAZZ69er Yeah A minor is pretty tough dude....haha

[comet752]

god great sound great playin didnt know you could get sounds from a guitar like that

[GeeRat5]

dude... It's a fucking les paul

[harveyjohnny1967]

This is frickin amazing. Such a clean sound and every note hit properly unlike a lot of 'shredders' out there.

[Lordaeron11]

i want this fuckin guitar sound!

[0mgh4xftw]

@Lordaeron11 I don't like it...it's TOO dirty sounding.

[RobinStrower]

Doug is an awesome player. I love his staccato notes and sounds.

5 *

Robin :o)

[atkef]

i can pkay it

[nickyhawk81]

what a sound !! gibson les paul

[AllusiveAir]

You're God damn right I can't play that.

[jongalski]

If I could I would play in Whitesnake

[Rockunstank]

man...he uses some light strings...his tone is very thin...

[hameron]

It's his practice amp or the video recording. His studio and live sound is quite fat.

[goodygoody23]

hey this Betcha Can't Play This is actually musical

wow

[pthompson2010]

back in the 80's you had to play fast AND good, not just fast like the guys now days

[goodygoody23]

i know right

people like Aldrich and R Rhoads are just nonexistant nowadays

[Kimoki313]

@goodygoody23

Wrong.

Just plane wrong.

[goodygoody23]

I'm just "plane" wrong, huh?

[Kimoki313]

@goodygoody23

Yup, and my spelling kicks arse..... : /

Seriously though, check out Scale The Sumit or Betwen The Buried and Me (for BTBAM, if your not in to death metal, try songs like Selkies or mordecai and skip through the heavier sections).

Sorry, it's just that comment, I get the same thing from old school ravers bitching about how they just don't make dance music like they used to.

I apreciate the point you're trying to make but it's just not true.

..

IMO

[goodygoody23]

I guess it's the fact that modern bands have to overlay their music with all-too-heavy distortion and senseless screaming that doesn't compare to the greatness of those old, super-talented musicians

I've seen rays of hope in bands like Airbourne and the artist Buckethead, so all is not lost...yet.

[Kimoki313]

@goodygoody23

Well Scale the Summit compose instramentals and don't over do the distortion so maybe you'd like them.

I actually agree with what you say to a certain extent. But don't think it means that style of playing is dead, its merely harder to find.

There's a british blues player, he's only nineteen but he's pretty amazing.

Can't remember his name though. Sorry. He's definitely someone to watch out for. If only I could remember his damn name.

[disturbed157]

@goodygoody23 good rap is dead. now its pop music to a beat

[goodygoody23]

@disturbed157 yeah, at one time there was rap that required talent and creativity. Now its all just a mindless computer beat and lyrics about nightclubs and alcohol

[disturbed157]

@goodygoody23 glad to see somebody agrees

[varulv234]

@goodygoody23 Listen to Point of No Return by Immortal Technique.

[goodygoody23]

@varulv234 hm not bad. There's a song called Aisle 10 by Scapegoat Wax that I don't mind either. Good rap is out there but, just like rock, it's dying out. Some old rap is actually interesting and fun to listen to, but I'm not interested in the crap about nightclubs and ass

[varulv234]

@goodygoody23 Oh, yes, i agree, 99.9% of Rap is pretty stupid, generic and meaningless and it's understandable that you'd say something like that, since there is so little good Rap.

[thatcucumberbicycle]

@goodygoody23 RAP = Retards Attempting Poetry

[goodygoody23]

@thatcucumberbicycle hahahahahahah im using that

[strNpwrKC]

@goodygoody23 Well, they do a pretty damn good job of killing each other off!

[goodygoody23]

@strNpwrKC hahaha good point

@goodygoody23

YES.
