[jezga2]

Yet another great video :) wait can you talk about the guitar fight club :D ?? And doug is there anywere i can get get some of those backing tracks because the ones i have now are not too great :(

[jezga2]

@jezga2 I mean im getting this one but is there any sites you can recommend ??

[DougFCKNSteele]

@jezga2 get the backing tracks off the myspace page.

That's cool vibrato.

The one vibrato I do not like is the "nervous" vibrato some beginners adapt from the way you vibrato a classical string guitar on to an electric guitar, it does not sound right, at least to me.

There is a super mega heavy metal band out there who has a lead guitarist who uses this "nervous" vibrato to no end.

We should all post our "technique", it'd be fun.

Thanks.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@1251wire We can all learn from each other. But yeah, I almost told one student to stop playing, as his KH vibrato was gettin' on my nerves.

[1251wire]

@DougFCKNSteele amen brother, you totally get it.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@1251wire Yesaah!!

[ibzmav]

hey man, what happened to your guitar knob?

[DougFCKNSteele]

@ibzmav I think it kept coming off. I'm pretty brutal with volumes and especially the toggle switch. I now have the original green guys back on there. Got them for $4 in Moorabin.

[mattwildchild]

you re good man.

[DougFCKNSteele]

@mattwildchild Thanks.

[BloodXSweatXGuitars]

thats a pretty sick guitar you got there its sexy

[DougFCKNSteele]

@BloodXSweatXGuitars Except wehen it breaks strings in the middle of gigs. But yeah, I love it.

[a1guitars]

Awesome fuckin vibrato! I'm having trouble getting it down. I can do it slow and in tune for short periods, but can't get it going faster like you do. Do you have any tips on getting it faster? My arm seems to lock up. I can force it and get the fast shitty C.C Deville crap going, but it sounds like ASS!!! Also, do you use a lot of pressure, or is your hand loose? FRUSTRATED!!!!

[DougFCKNSteele]

@a1guitars Thanks, I'm not crushing the neck, if that's what you mean. The pressure is the same pressure for holding a note, it's just bend release, bend release. I'd say probably the best tip is to listen to guys with good vibrato: Lynch, Gilbert, VH, De Martini, Zakk...Start with Lynch, he holds the key..

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

certainly interesting:)

[shizmcgiz]

doesnt anyone else thing this dude is fucking amazing?

[DougFCKNSteele]

My wife thinks I'm okay.

[stefijula]

@shizmcgiz

Yeah, he's got a very well-rounded technique and sound.

[SixxHundredSixtySixx]

where can i get the backingtrack??? ...and please check out my backingtrack on my channel...xD

[JEESherazi]

What do you think of slow and less wide? Not hating the wides, I use them a bunch too. You have a nice consistant vibrato, I must add.

[DougFCKNSteele]

Slow and less wide seems fine in my book. Just not nervous and twitchy, that sounds fucking balls.

[JEESherazi]

Haha, right on! couldn't agree more

[RokDAWG1]

VERY cool...I love the phrasing

[DougFCKNSteele]

Killa!! I think I have more bad days than good, comes with the territory. If you're gonna bust the spontaneous shit, expect a few shells in the scrambled eggs, ya know?

[RokDAWG1]

Exactly!! I've told people that perfection in playing is imperfection. This is why everybody sounds different....you totally get it!! Right on man

[DougFCKNSteele]

That's 2 of us!!

[DougFCKNSteele]

I love Lynch!! My homage to the man who set my vibrato straight..

[LateNightShredder]

I have the live version of mr scary from like japan or something and he rips like fucking crazy. Best song though is tooth and nail from that album cause thats the only CD i have of Dokken.......Any CD suggestions?

[DougFCKNSteele]

For Lynch solos, try Under Lock and Key,the songs are gay, the leads are great. Back For the Attack is good as well. I think after that album I was done with cock rock in general.

[LateNightShredder]

Thanks but what do you mean by cock rock?

[DougFCKNSteele]

Big Hair, gay clothes; Scorpions, Cinderella, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, etc etc.

[LateNightShredder]

Ah, yeah I get it.

[peaveylove]

how can i get a download of that back track?

[SlavesShallServe6]

backing tracks make practice time much more interesting!

[DougFCKNSteele]

it's probably the best thing you can do for your playing.

[DROPD5150]

VAI 7 string? or just an RG 7 string?

[HCXanithon]

its a universe 7er (UV777 i think) green dot one.

[rasmusandre]

On your Metal thing BT there is a slower part. I cant figure out anything to fit in there:/ You got any tips?

[Betrion]

Hey man.. Is that evolution pickups set?

[DougFCKNSteele]

they were rewired before I bought the guitar..

[majav15mg]

I got my evil vibrato thanks to you ;-)

[Lickmyballs718]

im glad you mention andy larouque, he is one of my favorites. king diamond and even mercyful fate guitar solos have always sounded the coolest...if you have anythingf to say about them like specifically or a little lesson involving just then thatd be way cool. by the way you are way fn good

[tha117eXez]

is that a seven string guitar and 3 pickup ? how BRUTAL ! lol

btw, i try to make a good sounding vibrato using my boss ds-1, but it sounds kinda sucks. Is there any good pedal that can improve my vibrato playing ? thx

[DougFCKNSteele]

Yeah, dude, your fucking fingers. They're free and attached to you.

You're joking right?

[qwasd0r]

lol!

Nice videos you got there, sir!

[0oxxMusicxxo0]

hahahaha I cant believe he said the ^^ lmao

[ALTITUDE15]

since when does a pedal help your vibrato.

all part of the technique man

[yummygrncrayonz]

Guitar fight club eh? Sounds like a cool idea. I just might have to post a video response!

Is there any way to take the tracks off myspace to jam to? I get better sound in my videos if I can have the track I'm jamming to playing through the amp via my ipod...

[DougFCKNSteele]

No idea, I can barely check my email.

[pwertogalero]

sick guitar skills dude!!!, i only wish we have something like guitar fight club here in the philippines

[qwasd0r]

THORDENDAL \m/

[DougFCKNSteele]

Yeah, but unfortunately, we need ppl to show up, soooo..we do the opposite.

[haruko958]

Awesome lessons. If you like your Podxt you should try the X3. I have the live version and it rocks. I'm loving the Treadplate and Big Bottom amps. The Chemical X is pretty cool too.

[DougFCKNSteele]

I think I'm getting one. My friend owes me cash and he's currently in the US, sooo...We'll see if he pulls through.

[jkdsdmf]

my vibrato is similar to those guys also, my teacher even complemented me on my on vibrato, plus it sounds cool too up high on the neck with the neck pickup on

[fikealox]

Thanks for the videos, Doug. They're really helpful, informative and fun to watch. (And for me at least, really challenging!)

[DougFCKNSteele]

Ha ha, cool!!! They're fun to make, until you get a comment that your tone sucks, your carpet's dirty, etc..You can't win, you just agree with them and move forward.

[drmoshie]

Your tone sucks and your carpet's dirty!!

[DougFCKNSteele]

I agree! Cut off my fingers!

[drmoshie]

nah, lets not go too far here.

Love the videos, thanks very much for making them!

[DougFCKNSteele]

Rock dude, s'all good. It is fun.
