[chigginnuckets]

oh. i am gonna make my friend so frickin jealous with this one. he kicks my rear at guitar hero but i will always whoop him in the real world of guitar. I also cant wait to throw pinched harmonics in his face. thanks for this. the whole Master That Riff! series is the one best thing to happen to online guitar lessons. you are my hero second only to slash.

this may sound wierd but your slight scottish accent makes the song easier to learn

[Epic501]

sweet. i checked it out.

[TheSpuditron]

I sort of know how to play this part but i can never get it perfectly.

Your videos are great and you explain everything really well.

Best guitar teacher I ever had. (and I'm a guitar teacher :P:P:P:P:P)

[jrccaf]

[jemesp]

i just order a Chilli pepper Suhr pro 3. I cant wait to get it. Yours sounds GREAT.  Keep rocking

[babejunky]

A million thanks.

Just a couple of questions.

How should I set up my amp to get the desired sound? How much reverb etc.

Do I need to use a Wah-Wah pedal and if so can I use a VOX V847?

[mastertheguitar]

I fyou want to sound like the the record you'll need a wah and a nice hi-mid setting on the amp so the notes are clear. Of course the melody will still be the melody no matter if you use a wah or different amp setting :). HTH

[dizzyzack]

Is that a Vigier guitar?

[mastertheguitar]

It's a Suhr Pro Series S3. Fantastic guitar :).

cool channel.. keep uploading those videos...

Great technical description on the Surfing with the Alien...

[killerman36]

Hey,

nice lesson! Do you think that learning songs by ear is esseantial to be a good guitarist? I guess you transcribe all the songs you teach ? Can you give me some easy solo's to begin transcribing with? that would be a big help!

[theycallmehired]

i think learning by ear is essential to get better...a professional guitarist or any decent guitarist SHOULD be able to hear a song than to rely on a tab...

[mastertheguitar]

I don't think it's essential but like any language if you can read it/write it, hear it and speak it then you have far more options to communicate. Depending on the song I'll either fix existing tabs or transcribe from scratch. Youtube is a great resource now for seeing artists playing their songs which really helps with transcribing. For getting starting why not try working out simple melodies, hell even themes from TV shows or adverts :).

[snakemaster7]

awsome stuff :)

[Eversmen]

i got another idea of a show you can do.. maybe Master The Solo? MTS :o, just an idea...

[mastertheguitar]

As I've mentioned before, doing solos would take up a lot time that I don't have to spare :).

[Johaneeeek]

Joe Satriani, yeah!! Thanks for posting this video man, keep it up!
