Yer playing guitar Chuck! You sly dog you!

[tingly7654321]

privettricker do you like joshualidberg's videos?

[4runnerJr]

Dave doesn't play this acoustic part,does he? never would've guessed it was in open E but what you're doing sounds like it fits perfectly..I saw what you said about playing the solo & I'm in the same boat w/you on that one !! Its still very cool that you figured out this intro

[privettricker]

@4runnerJr Dave did this intro, and he did the rhythm part on Could This Be Magic? I think he also did the acoustic intro on Full Bug.

Well done. Always loved it. Thanks

[mmsun44]

I dig the song, I dig the guitar, but I think the shirt takes the cake.

[ncaadan]

Your shirts and jerseys are incredible, but this one is the best - Good Grief!!!  Thanks for the inspiration.

[mattparrish123]

very nice

[garbeaj]

You would be surprised...He only knows how to do one thing on the guitar, but he does it well. That's Dave playing the fairly intricate fingerpicked guitar on "Could This Be Magic?" from Women and Children First. Listen closely to the recording of "Ice Cream Man" and check out the official transcription and you will see and hear it...also watch the videos. I use hybrid picking, and Dave may indeed have used his thumb and first finger, but he is definitely bouncing on the B string...

[garbeaj]

Most of the time he is hybrid picking...bass strings take the pick and the open high B string is what is being droned rather than the strum that you are doing, but the way you play it is close enough for most. Your guitar is also one hell of alot better than the old Vox acoustic that Dave likely played for the original recording and it sounds fucking fantastic!

[privettricker]

@garbeaj I honestly didn't think Dave had the skills to do hybrid picking.

[sunriverperson]

Your'e a good man Charlie Br...er privettricker. Those fingers look like they can hold more than a guitar...are you a gym rat? Play any roundball?

[Shamonachild]

Are you self taught? And how did you get so good at transcribing.

[privettricker]

@Shamonachild Yes, and I guess I'm just patient. Still, playing by ear has its limitations. I can only play what I hear, and sometimes I can't really hear what's going on!

[ruffles272]

is that a gibson or an epiphone? thats a beautiful guitar.

[privettricker]

@ruffles272 That's a Gibson J200.

[angela21215]

really great privettricker! i have three suggestions:let me go,rock n roll by kiss ,chip away the stone or last child by aerosmith.off of hotter than hell,live:bootleg and rocks.

[nickpoker]

I would like the rest of the song now :)

[privettricker]

@nickpoker Dude, I can't even fake that guitar solo, let alone play it.

[papafoxden]

Sweet!

[GuitarBlues3]

You have great t-shirts!

[ryler99]
