Just want to say I`m extremely impressed by your virtuosity. There is one small error, however. The top note of the trill in bar 14 should be an A and not a G. That being said, many thanks for taking the time to educate.
in part 6 your tapping with your middle finger and youre hammering./pulling off with yyour first finger and pinky or you mix your pinky wiht your ring finger when you go from e to be and do you star tapping on string e first or b
Hey Man, Fantastic tutorial. Seriously difficult. Im 14 and been playing for 6 years. Im getting there with it, but unfortunately my amp cant make these kind of tones (its only got a volume, treble and bass turny thingys. And a gain switch. What amp are you using here? Thanks for the lesson much appreciated.
man u tone is like a mix of vai, gilbert and EVH, its kinda mind blowing. maybe a bit too tinny but not really. The playing and lesson is quite obviously amazing.
Just a suggestion..but when you demonstrate for viewers try to get your guitar as flat towards the camera as possible, as you are holding your guitar at an angle which makes following the frets difficult....other than that excellent vid. :)
also what are you doing to the strings at the last part? 1:49 - 2:13

jopemac90 2 years ago

bit of delay and reverb. and prob and a compresser!

Is that a stretch from fret 8 to fret 13 around 1.09, if so, its no good, thats impossible for me.
StefanPriceUK 2 years ago
frets 8 and 12 dude...i have small hands...
find a good thumb position at the back of the neck and you will be sorted!!
DarrenDonohoeguitar 2 years ago
If you think 8 to 12 is hard so should see some of the stuff George Lynch of Dokken does, check out the solo for In My Dreams.
