How to play Long Road to Ruin guitar solo

[Ackscar]

Woooh!! Finally got it! Thank you, my good man! :)

[getoffmywayplz]

awesome lesson! i tried it yesterday ans posted a viedoresponse (sorry for a few mistakes :)

[thesadmuppet]

Thanks for uploading this....it's the best tutorial for this solo out there..just need to put in the hours of practice. Can I ask a question. When learning a new piece, do you think its best to learn it accurately but slowly and then gradually speed it up until you reach the right tempo? I find that I cant help but try to play it at full speed and then of course have to stop when I make a mistake...john

[andybltt]

@thesadmuppet Hi John. I think that you should always learn to play something slowly and then try to get it up to speed. This is the only way you can learn things accurately and also it's good practice to help improve your playing in general. I find that the Tascam GT2 trainer that I have is great for this because you can slow down the track to play along with and then gradually speed it up to full speed as you get it down. Thanks for watching.

[GuzzyRawks]

I just can't get that second part of the solo with the hammer ons/ pull offs from 0:42 to 0:46 . But the rest of the solo, I can totally do, thanks to your video! Any tips for that one part? Thanks!

[billy000ling]

@GuzzyRawks

i have the same problem..

is the end of the first part repeated 0:43 to 0:46???



[DaPhyl]

lol smile xD

[Hogan071]

great lesson man, thanks

[gunsanroses99]

haha he is undressing u with his eyes but good solo anyways

[Rolzey93]

dude - awesome solo but rule number 1 of playing an instrument in front of a camer . . . DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE CAMERA! It makes you look arrogant - i dont even care if thats not how you spell arrogant but just look as though you're at one with your instrument - but some feeling into man.

But as i said, great solo so cant dis you.

[themusic2020]

dude no afence but shut up. no 1 cares if he looks arrogant. it was a great lesson she shut up

[Rolzey93]

yh ok sorry. i admit - i was out of order - a great lesson and played rele rele well.

[andybltt]

Actually, watching it back, I do look a bit scarey in the eye department when I'm playing the solo. Like some kind of a demented serial killer! :-)

[themusic2020]

lol kinda :)

[pnnorton]

I can't provide tabs or I won't provide tabs?

[canchamuajaja95]

hahahhahahha yeap

[Mannchini]

Suburb!

Thanks mate, awsome lesson, really improved my playing.

Might i suggest splitting solos down into quaters rather than halves for the slow ones among us though?

Cheers again

[GabrielNotTheAngel]

thanx man, i dont know how much that helped me.The first fast part was the taboo..

[GabrielNotTheAngel]

I play it perfect now thanx again!

[andybltt]

No problem. Always happy to have been of assistance.

[MrMonsteRay]

he aint feelin it

[gammels]

Solo learning for dummies, great vid ! :)

[hoggetownesux]

you're obnoxious. speak faster

[SebAlva]

@hoggetownesux, first learn the use of the word obnoxious, then play this solo as good as he does & make a video explaining it so clearly. Then we'll talk.

[xxMatthew09]

awesome vidoe:) that helped me alot:D

[Shagohod91]

great video lesson

helped me a lot

5/5

[Starfox13]

It's funny to watch you playin

your face expression - unique :-D

[filipe687]

nice shirt man! and nice solo :]

[freethebagel]

haha his eyebrows go up when he bends the strings

[dakocaga]

Man, you're awesome!! A big thank U from Brazil!!! Check out our hilarious videos...

[DaffydG]

I have an honer strat lol my dad found it in a dumpster and its worth 400 quid BARGAIN!!!

[JMassey1992]

mint vid again man

[squeegy14]

God that's ridiculous. Chris Shifflet is one heck of a guitarist to come up with something like that.

[elmartox]

@squeegy14 chris IS the man.

[MegaLolburger]

@squeegy14 You think this is amazing, then you should go look at Eric Johnson cliffs of Dover or Joe Satriani surfing with the alien or Joe Bonnamassa Woke Up Dreaming... This solo is nothing compared to stuff like that.

[spyrojoe]

@MegaLolburger Satriani's a wanker.

[MegaLolburger]

@spyrojoe Indeed, dosen't change the fact he is an amazing guitar player though.

[JuanSeCe]

you forgot teach a little part in the hard part at the end... but whatever... i understood when you played it slowly in the end part of the video

[JK30]

Awesome guitar. Where did you get it, how much was it?

[threshers1234]

this is great, not many people can play this so well, let alone teach it so well! very good, a credit to youtube

[goingdown3121]

i want your guitar :D

[andybltt]

Judging by your Prince inspired name, I'm not suprised. :-)

[skitheport]

personally i dont like hohners much

[pvpisme]

Lol at 4:25 you look high

[vanillamustard1]

awseome thank you

[yobrahuhuhu]

one wicked guitar player

[tommytourette2007]

nice work! keep it up. can you do a lesson for beast and the harlot solo? I'm stuck on that :-)

[mansell863]

this is so surprisingly sick for a foo fighters solo

iv been tryin it for like a year an giving up but this vid is helpin me get the proper grasp of it

thanks fella xx

[bf2modsde]

Not too easy to understand, try to make it a little more interesting or zoom in the camera. Nice one though, helped me out quite alot :)

[AndyMan2006P]

Prince's Hohner! lol i just noticed. nice one :). nice vid too.

[skitheport]

i love the vid but ive got a thing against hohner guitars can you please do other cool solos like back in black or sweet child of mine or even sweet home alabama i think i could get them down for my high school's battle of the bands with my band with your help. please post more vids

[Presentboy]

i dont get 2:33 where he says u have to hammer on the 3 -5 the fret B string. i only play on the B string 3 ,5,3 and it works but if i hammer on it doesnt. please help. :D

[ukgamercrib]

nice ! lol youtube land ...

[wirespider]

Excellent lessons Andy, and a nice guitar too been lookin for a Hohner Prinz for years...

[jayladdin]

This is incredibly helpful. I have no idea if I can play it, but it's certainly not as impossible as it was before. Thanks, Andy!

[Haydos711]

thanx for the help

[Haydos711]

hey this a great vid

but i just started playing electric guitar but ive been playing acoustic for a while

i was just wondering will i have to buy a distortion pedal or is there some how i can make it distorded without it

i have a fender bullet 150 amp if tht helps

[andybltt]

If your amp has a gain knob, you may be able to get overdrive distortion by turning this up to the level you like, otherwise a distortion or overdrive pedal will do the trick! :-)

[andhaf86]

thank u very much! :D that helped ALOT! :o

[somedude10101]

great video and awesome guitar. helped me alot with this song as I could quite pick up the timing right with tabs on there own. =)

[creedenceaj]

one in spanish please

[schoxzz]

nearly perfect dude i like it a lot ;) i saw you had the same "problem" like i have ... the thumb ;)

[andybltt]

Yep, bendy thumbs rule! :-)

[bainsy911]

why cant you make tabs

[Harry427]

LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID

just take his word for it and then u can make ur own :D

[PeteMeista]

cheers for the help, I'ts the first proper solo that i've tried to learn and this video helped me alot, and im starting to get the hang of it now.

P.S. you fippin nailed it

[thegoodguyy]

Thank you so much! This solo fucking rocks and you nailed it!! 5***

[jverlander35]

thomas shut ur mouth this guy is great and ur just tryin to find some to correct u turbo nerd

[Tomas9308]

i was making a suggestion you idiot....

[joepeeeee]

dude you rule! u like played the whole solo without looking at the guitar! nice!

[bcasey95]

Thanks for posting this!

I struggled with the speedy hammer on & pull off section down on the first few frets, but now I've got it.

Cheers!

[Tomas9308]

thanks !!!! days ago, i was frustrated and decided to quit this solo but i tried again and i think i got better or somethin but now i can play it

[austinchalmers]

hey, thanks man, that sounds perfect

[Abs9106]

what does he mean hammeron between the 3rd and the 5th fret on the b string?

[Tomas9308]

dude sorry to say this but to play this solo you should at least know what he's saying..... that's too noobish hehe.... anyways, the guitar is tuned eadgbe as you know so the "b" string is the second string from highest to lowest... so what it means is that you should play the b string on the third fret and then hammer on to the 5th fret....

[Abs9106]

thanks, i know what the b string is, i was just unsure of his wording.

[3msrasmussen]

really good job, i didnt expect there 2 be anything about how 2 play this song anywhere on youtube, but here something is, thx a lot

[Tomas9308]

thanks for your time...I think the first little part doesn't repeats itself identically and it would be like 10,000 times easier with tabs... thanks anyway

[Tomas9308]

thanks for your time... really... and i'd like to add something... I think that the 2nd time the 1st part repeats, it isn't the same, it has slightly different notes, listen closely to the song on the part the first little part repeats

[TrYAcid999]

thats sick

[eSskaterjoe3]

Thanks, really helpful, i have "snow" almost down now..you should post some ac/dc songs up. If you can it would be nice to learn "you shook me all night long" or rhcp "under the bridge"....

[andybltt]

Now "You Shook Me All NIght Long" I can do. I'll see if I can post something on the solo tonight for you. :-)

[eSskaterjoe3]

alright thanks..

[recnepsmaharg]

Nice to see you back!

[microbe]

Cheers mate for your time, some of us are really appreciating it.

[andybltt]

Thanks. Sorry it's been a while since I posted something. Hope to do some more stuff soon.

[dougallisnotcoollke]

Do some metal!

[andybltt]

Sorry Doug, I'm not really a "metal" player. My old fingers don't work that fast anymore! :-)

[dougallisnotcoollke]

Ok! lol great work lo':p

[javo0112]

Thx for your videos !
