[whynottalklikeapirat]

its andy serkis with his precious

[spiritofunion1]

Very helpful..Excellent!

[MrAussie1957]

gr8 lesson and obs mate

[55slice]

Another good lesson....the one thing about Beck's style is unfortunately it's very hard to imitate Beck's style.

[leeportcam]

I love how all these guys in these videos talk like they know Beck personally.

[tubesrule123]

Dig the Earth in search of a Sun lick...



[skippyriddle]

thanks dude



[Rikk303]

....."the inimitable Jeff Beck and I'm gonna show you how to play just like him"....awesome!

[mattmeyermatt]

thanks so much man!!!!!

[billkropp]

Andy Aledort kicks ass I have his dvd on Dime's 4 Pantera tracks and the Hendrix discs for Axis and Electric Ladyland!SWWEETTT!! Some Jeff Beck - Hey Andy how about some Rock n Roll Jelly- Where's Stanley and Carmen!

[zeppelin25101980]

why not just get a Floyd? and dont bring up the different tunning and spring tension thing he has enough money to have a different guitar for every tunning

[andyourbirdcansing64]

@zeppelin25101980 amen if youd like u can get me the gilmour strat, il subscribe to ur videos if u do

[TheMusicDude1997]

@zeppelin25101980 floyds are......kinda crap

[stratguy1688]

I guarantee he ain't using those shitty noiseless pickups...

[sunnyjim98]

JB is a good player, but it sickens my dung when peeps make him out to be some sort of musical genius cos of that bridge thing. hes just tryin to be different by using a standard strat bridge. ever heard of floyd rose?

[eloelo14]

@sunnyjim98 I think people call him genius because of his music, btw.

[guyinfuckinghat]

@sunnyjim98 he wasent the first do this with a bridge, alot of old fenders ive played have been set up the same way, i also think pepole call him a genius cause of the playing

[sunnyjim98]

holy shit! you arent paul riario!?!?!?!?!?!

[keithsa41]

Andy is an old Stoner Strat GOD!. Amazing Chops.

[TUUK2006]

Not bad to keep that in tune without a locking nut.

[Sholda1]

You get more sustain and don't damage the strings as much if you screw it to the wood though.

[Gonzoidzz]

amiable hippy. admire his dedication.

[spudgun05]

stoner!

[mehlliont]

i still can`t fucking understand how can you do that thing at 3:03 !!!!!!

[plpicher]

@mehlliont if you have a floating tremolo, just pull the bar up and release it, it'll bounce, let me know if it work!

[CrushedJustice]

@plpicher i've already done it but since its not a double locking it goes out of tune after a week

[plpicher]

@CrushedJustice well, if it goes out of tune after a week, its excellent!

staying in tune for a week is a very long time, i usually retune between every 2 songs during shows and i don't use too much the tremolo.

[CrushedJustice]

@plpicher i think cause i use gauge 10 the more tension helps it i guess

[mehlliont]

@plpicher wow just that?!?! fuck my guitar is crap so i can´t do it lol actually all you can do with the wammy bar is push it down haha

[Rafterman123]

@mehlliont - No good worker blames his tools!... But you do need to have a pretty sensitive tremolo, thats why he was talking about removing springs behind the back plate. If you haven't, it will probably just go CLUNK! Rather than bounce back and forth really fast. However, Beck actually gets this sound by pushing down on the bridge really fast (the bridge has been raised, which is another modification to the guitar). So to get the sound you need to do one of those things. But but be careful

[igotwhips]

Now teach us how to play 'Cause We Ended as Lovers'

[VLombardi01]

Very interesting! 

[sumopub]

That's the face of a man who has done some HARD drugs in his lifetime.

[grizzli1994]

don't pull up as hard as u can O_O. That will brake ur strings. I did that once on a floyd, the spring snapped.

[RaidenNoKishi]

@grizzli1994 Well, yeah. Generally, a Floyd has a lot more range of motion than a Strat bridge. String gauge and wear has a lot to do with it, too. On this guitar, though, you're generally safe.

[RoathRipper]

this guy seems to attract a lot of haters. why?

[ciclosonico]

nice video, I'd like to se more :)))

[metalvocalistwanted]

i started tryin to do this kind of technique before i knew who he was. he is definitely the kind of the trem tho. i play floyd rose but agree, beck doesnt need one unless he wants it. GREAT VIDEO. peace. \m/

[CrushedJustice]

how do u make a fender bridge float

[suihkubad]

@CrushedJustice There are screws in the back of a strat that you can adjust.

[CrushedJustice]

@suihkubad i kno that but if i wanted it to float do i have to tune it the way i tune a floyd or a edge

[suihkubad]

@CrushedJustice doesn't floating mean the possibiloty to bend up?

[CrushedJustice]

@suihkubad a floating trem allows u to dive down in pitch aswell as pull up in pitch

[suihkubad]

@CrushedJustice so stratocasters trem is floating

[CrushedJustice]

@suihkubad you have to make it floating by loosening springs in the back of the guitar

[suihkubad]

@CrushedJustice yes I know that since I have a strat myself, but that one guy was telling "you would normally need a floating bridge to do what Jeff does"

[CrushedJustice]

@suihkubad yea to turn your fender strat bridge from resting on the body to floating u have to loosen springs on the back

[plpicher]

@CrushedJustice If you have a 6 screws tremolo DONT DO THAT!

[hueseph]

@CrushedJustice Yes you have to tune it like a Floyd. That is, you tune it to pitch, then tune it again until it stays in tune. Once, you have that done, you'll probably have to adjust the intonation.

[juturna]

Andy Aledort is a good player you fuckin hater LOL

[Rafterman123]

Jeff also bends the tremolo by pressing his palm against the raised bridge instead of using the tremolo arm, and will also rapidly tap the bridge like that to get a trill

[Rafterman123]

no one matches Jeff Becks tremolo work. No one

[InstrumentalMania]

@Rafterman123 Joe Satriani comes close with Steve Vai a little behind him...but satriani uses a lot of beck techniques so beck is clearly at the top

[ibanezbloke]

Why do they keep letting Andy Aledort do these things.... he's not a particularly good player, sorry.

[Mo7Vsta]

beck made it, Vai perfected it.

[igotwhips]

@Mo7Vsta Give Beck a Floyd Rose

[Stupified992]

cool

[coltpearce]

i love this guy

[JAYcovey706]

sooooo is that guy sheech or chong....XD

[MrCwillies]

just use a floyd rose, there is no harm in attaching it to a strat, if your desperate to get those vibratos going

[darksymphonybass]

I've always hated the strat because of how generic and common i thought they were.

Just with a simple twist of the bridge, it made me realize the endless possibility of the strat.

Thank you Jeff Beck

[seekah1]

@darksymphonybass Kinda hard to hate on an instrument with that much possibility.

[darksymphonybass]

@seekah1 i know man this video defiantly opened up my eye

[sunnyjim98]

@darksymphonybass just get a floyd.

[darksymphonybass]

@sunnyjim98 but then you gotta deal with re setting it if you play in different tunings.

it also takes awile to change strings and theirs more parts to go wrong.

i think their a great invention, but they need to be less complicated.

[sunnyjim98]

@darksymphonybass look up the floyd rose speedloader, its an improvement on th orignal design, in terms of simplicity

[darksymphonybass]

@sunnyjim98 i shall

thank you

[casdebom2]

@darksymphonybass What are you talking about? Strats are some of the most versatile guitars around. Most other guitars are generally oversized and sluggish.

[darksymphonybass]

@casdebom2 Whenever i saw a strat before, i always just thought of someone first starting guitar, or the squires all the time. They meant nothing to me untill i saw this video and how the strat actually soundss

[casdebom2]

@darksymphonybass

Squires are always shit. But we all know that, hehehe.

[darksymphonybass]

@casdebom2 thats what i think of when i see a strat sadly xD, well, used too untill i saw this video haha.

[randycwyatt]

@casdebom2 squires aren't really shit but i think i have a unique i have mine heavily modified but when i first got it even whaling down on the tremolo it stayed in perfect tune it had better sustain than the American models and it had the darkest low end and also and brightest high sound I've heard the tremolo block tore through string though so i made a new one and put a roller nut on it with some locking keys so plays like a dream now. also alder bodies have a strange sound if you try one.

[casdebom2]

@randycwyatt

It outplays a US Stratocaster? I've got to hear that to believe it, Mexican and US models don't differ too much these days though. Is it lightweight? And what wood is used? Some squires have that cheap feeling to them. I played a good one once, but they only kept the squire neck and replaced the rest.

[randycwyatt]

@casdebom2 it has a alder body maple neck it has the squire label btu it has that huge 70's strat headstock for more sustain(wich i think gives it it's sound).It's a Chinese squire but oddly it feels almost like playing a GnL model guitar i do have it modified so it sounds a bit different if i could upload a video i would but i don't have any video software and no camera.But really give a squire a chance sometimes you'll find a bit of gold within rust when it comes to guitars.

[casdebom2]

@randycwyatt

Haha that's true. Are you saving up for a new one or are you in love with it? I'm presonally always looking for the upgrade.

[randycwyatt]

@casdebom2 my point is if you get a guitar you like you don't really need another i like my strat because its very flexible in tonality. i have a dean with a floyd rose but it has nowhere near as much life to it's sound and it's a high end model. and american strats have a slightly wider necks with thinner bridges meaning the neck is a waste ive been saving for a G&L since those are more of what leo fender wanted for his guitars that and theyre better for slow technical players like me.

[Kinetekist]

Ideally you should have a Floyd Rose. With a Floyd Rose you will probably have the locking nuts too. Without them most guitars will go out of tune.

[SidVicious10101]

Jeff Beck is one of the best most underrated(outside the guitar community) players of all time.

[igotwhips]

So I can't use my Les Paul?

[nowinterweather]

@igotwhips when im using my les paul, i just turn the tuners lol

[TheStratocasterBlues]

@igotwhips ..no

[rush12450]

I didn't know you could do that with a strat. Jeff Beck you are god.

[Malteboy777]

@rush12450 Just depends on which bridge you've got on your strat.. =)

And his name ain't jeff beck, it's andy aledort..

The gutarist he's copying here is Jeff Beck! =)

[LiLaZnMoFo123]

awesome!

[crazzyhubbard]

Amazing :)!

[Da0wN3R]

Jeff Beck is classic :D
