[williamwolfcub]

how do u do the hand circle thing ? O.o

[karmictreasures]

Either you don't remember what its like to be a beginner or this video's primary purpose is to do one of two things: show off, or discourage beginners from thinking we are up to par. Seems like you'd be fun to hang out with though.

[k2snake]

Hey, great video!

Any like.. speed exercises ? :) Or should just start doing all these exercises slow and then get faster as I get more comfortable?

by the way.. do you play those PRS guitars these days too or is it just the ML1 and Ghost Fret now?

[ptnr4u]

I bet your just the greatest guy to have as a friend, rock on my brother

[Mraze99]

[SIXXX1POUNDER]

[gouda25]

LOL! This guy is funny as shit! Thanks for the upload. I found the picking excercise on another video and it really works out great. My alternate picking has about tripled in speed....which isn't saying too much but I have only been playing 2 weeks!

[FloxMops]

wow! im just beggining to play guitar and these excercises really helped! Thanks! Keep up the good work!

[ironduck03]

[strongblackman]

[twistedthumbv2]

park the car buddy, PARK THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!

[Wiitard12345]

guitar players or anyone who plays music with something shiny are allowed to be flippin crazy and not be judged

here's a sticker

[Leezy182]

Chappers, You Rock Dude!

[jamesatkins57]

when i wiggle my finger on the string or when i press down it dosent make a sound please help me

[zer0dahero]

@ prorgressivebrainscan, Dude, I wonder if anyone has seen santana, eric clapton, van halen or other great players actually doing this... They don't, they pick up an actual guitar and play to warm up. There is no substitute for mohogany and rosewood on your hand and strings under your fingers. A half hour of extended scale practice will serve you much more than a half hour of silly hand gestures. But i guess you know best. This guy is pretty good but not by doing "jazz" hands but by playing

[progressivebrainscan]

@zer0dahero

its not the same play for example solo of " as i am " and" layla"...i think u need warm up more for dream theater song ...but ok its a personal thing,dont wanna argue for no reason,its important to play nothing else matters....cheers ^^

[bamcoholic]

your funny lol dance baby dance hahahaha

[zer0dahero]

He's a pretty good player but I guarantee you all that he does NOT do the exercises the suggest one should do. Especially the fist 3. They are useless and only waste your time when you could be putting your fingers on actual strings. He's kind of full of crap in a way cause I just know he doesn't do the things he suggest us to do.

[progressivebrainscan]

@zer0dahero

dude if petrucci on his instructional video tells u to stretch ur fingers then fucking do it! try it,ull actually could warm ur fingers faster while playing...

[Rrracket]

he sais it is for when you DON'T have a guitar available.

[zomgzomglawlawlawl]

that is a bit difficult

[IbanezCode]

this guy is halarious!

[FoRsepsV]

damn!! look his fucking eye he's high!!!

what did you get man?? lsd? shrooms maybe!!?? great!!

[CogCommander3]

3:45 haha

[fucknamestealers]

i have to agree with the below poster, definately not beginner hammer ons. but it really is easier than it looks, especially when he slows down, just keep practicing.

[onennoy]

begginer my ass.

[samfukunishi]

like a rooster illusion

[LibertySpikedDrummer]

(good drummer, crappy guitarist)

i cant sustain a note for anywhere near as long as he does such as doing the hammer ons and pull offs.

Am i doing something wrong??

[mattmartian]

make sure you hit it clean .. middle of fret.. and you shouldnt have a problem.. also hit the notes hard.... hard and clean .. should work....

[SexyLeprechaun28]

the warmups at the beginning should you do those with your right hand or just your left

[ReebHound]

whcih ever hand is on the neck......

[ninjamypinja]

Hey Mr Chappers, are we going to see Mr chicken hand again soon? 5/5 for this excellent vid.

[jenisbetteroffdead]

hahaha, this dude is awesome!

[natte95]

[RobChappers]

[FullBlownRedneck]

I was wondering how the guitars changed when you went to the close-ups, but then you introduced Autumn, which explained all.

You're playing is awesome, thanks for the vids Rob.

[TheDistortionist]

Autumn is my favorite out of your collection.

[soaper4]

I can easily do that circle-hand thing with my left hand but I'ts pretty hard to do with my right hand. (which is wierd, because I'm right-handed.)

[xbxbear]

great exercises...Thanks!

recovering from breaking 'em all but the thumbs, this really helps. (don't ask!)

[RobChappers]

Well now I have to ask... how did you do that mate??

[xbxbear]

Crashed my bike...

[katsoxoiros]

[4br3g0]

Hi rob i want to buy some valve amp but ain't got enough money, could yo please lend me some of those Orange you got overthere?? xDDDDD

[4br3g0]

what do you think about buying some bugera? Right now i'm playing through my pedalboard and a Mesa Boogie of a friend which i share stage because my marshall made of transistors sucks!!! i just use the clean channel do you think a well made pedlaboard could kick ass with this amp?? It got some serious tubes..... My english sucks by the way xDD

[dontfearthereaper89]

lmao great lesson/great playing man, gona give those a try...maby not on a bus cos ill look like a nutter but certanly at home, keep up the good work.

[RobChappers]

Cheers mate :-)

[VelezBiH]

Rob, that is great stuff man. I am gona give these a try when i get home today.

That prs sc245 screams man, i wanted to a Les Paul, but i am not to happy with the neck feel, so i will try the PRS i think i will like those better. How close do you thik is the sc245 to Gibson LP in terms of sound? I like AC/DC, Led Zepplin, black sabath etc, so thats the sound i am after.

BTW check out my vids, my budy told me today it sounds like a music you hear at asian strip joint lol.

Good Stuff bro!

[Laraspberry]

haha your awesome good exercises buddy \m/

[RobChappers]

Thanks mate :-)

[RobChappers]

Hi mate, I made the masterclass on Yngwie Malmsteens last DVD, I have also worked on Jimi Hendrix projects along with random studio stuff. I am paid mainly to improv solos so not much need to read although i can.

[KKKAZE]

I like you.

[RobChappers]

I like you more :-)

[KKKAZE]

Yay \o/
