Zakk Wylde - Shredding lesson

[viralencore84]

"Limp Bizkit still sucks dick"!

[UKratBiker]

hmmm 27 dislikes , just another 27 people to add to the kiss my ass list .

[ChrisTrabantProject]

I want to see him get in a fight with chuck norris!

[UKratBiker]

@ChrisTrabantProject i would like to think chuck norris would have his ass handed to him on a les paul shaped plate with a side of fries. lol

[stephanodsilva]

funky, though fast scales are of course easier than fast melody...two quite different things...notice he avoids arpeggios or muical content in general

[Headslaught]

@stephanodsilva The movie is about how to shredd = how to play fast scales.

[FordmanFender]

Missing character from Sons of Anarchy..

[MrMichalJan]

Jest Niesamowity

[breathingreflection]

Holy shit. He's actually BETTER than I thought he was...and I thought he was pretty damn good.

[yoalexisfs]

the only what I can do is give a Like to this video cause I broke my strings XD

[RJW14]

As awesome as his playing is, I will NEVER get used to his picking technique! So unnatural.

[iojpk1996]

OMG he talks? 

[MrAllanCorinthians]

0:54

Oh Ya ^^

Zakk Is Awesome

[guitargold77]

zak is a hack? The problem with virtuoisty is some listners are completely utterly so anal it takes a speculum for em to shit. Its a game, did u pick clean? Was it perfect? Perfection is what the player says it is period. Page maybe sloppy but he'll be remembered 300 years from now. If u miss 37 notes outta 40, trip over the cord and make a banging -clank- sneeze and slip a finger off a bend with a womp, and listen back and say thats a keeper the OCD crowd can switch to Brahms

[TheTadz9]

H e picks so aggresivally it looks like he is sweeping :<

[Decrypted33]

how does he pick so recklessly yet so clean?????

[erperejildo]

0:23 the hair!!!!

[skeptronjhay]

fuck u lastdaysguitar boastfull

[lastdaysguitar]

Slower than Malmsteen and that's a fact.

[Decrypted33]

@lastdaysguitar so?

[lastdaysguitar]

@Decrypted33 So... it's not really too much of a "Shred" then, is it? And if you think he's picking cleanly, you may want to checkout truly clean players like Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, Eric Johnson and the aforementioned Ingvie Malmsteen - because compared to them, Zak is a hack.

[Chaif15Let]

Aw, those little Marshall stacks are so cute! :3

[Ikillpeopleforfree]

Even Zakk makes funny shapes with his mouth when shredding! \m/ \m/

[explorerguitarguy123]

VTEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MistaBuckness]

quick question zakk why in the name of everything good and holy are you not getting paid and steve ouimette is??

[ElvisBluntman777]

Is it me hallucinating or is the guitar getting raped or is zakk on steroids?

[hollywoodchic108]

KEEP PRACTICING SACK

[krupp4000]

@hollywoodchic108

go and play tough somewhere else

[MistaBuckness]

@hollywoodchic108 you do realize you made yourself seem like youve been smoking dog terds long enough to make yourself look like a douchebag. good job bch :-)

[mayj12]

I someday will have that "clarity" and "toneality". Lol. Love Zakk

[K684813]

Okay Thor, that is obviously NOT your hammer..

[thegorillaz2d]

nothing is imposibru

[112guitarist]

what guitar is it

[telecaster24]

The man the myth the legend..If you don't believe it then your DEAF..

[verprimler]

He came only for the beer.

No beer - no Zakk at your amp

[TheKenjoje]

not shred

[matt2eadgbe]

his picking style reminds me a bit of Marty Friedman

[elbeasto71]

Hill Billy Metal Maddness!

[greggwilson020232]

UN FUCKIN BELIEVABLE!!!!!!HES THE BEST BY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR­R

[BeefSupreme288]

jonas brothers would wipe the floor with this goon's beard and OBAMA is the greatest president of all time



[velvetboots]

Sigh...<3

[superfun64]

This dude did 20 straight minutes of what was in the beginning from 0:00 to 0:50 in concert.

[RammsCarvalho]

This guy has one of the most beautiful and inspiring vibrato and pinch harmonic technique ever. He and Tore Moren rule at these specific techniques in my opinion.

[misewixe]

that guy needs a haircut!

[StevenSmithxxz]

@misewixe No he doesnt. If he thought he needed a haircut he wouldnt have long hair.

[misewixe]

@StevenSmithxxz well, some people are just plein stupid to actually realize that they infact do.. I think he is one of them...

[StevenSmithxxz]

@misewixe People dont need a haircut just because YOU think they do. If you dont like long hair thats your thing. But just because someone links to have their hair a certain way doesnt mean they are "stupid".

[misewixe]

@StevenSmithxxz I guess you have long hair...that makes you quite stupid too

[StevenSmithxxz]

@misewixe LOL!!! Having long hair makes me stupid? Wow how fucking ignorant to you have to be to think hair length determines intellect? you fucking imbecile.

[Tiarnan1986]

i hope that guitars 18...

[DarkSnake153]

@Tiarnan1986 I believe that guitar gave birth not too long ago.

[Sivels]

pentatonic scale wooohoooo.

[priccarock70]

@Sivels yeah right! im sure you could play just like that

[18andoverantonius]

3:03 is frickin amazing

[Voddgreen]

'Sup with the sound?..

[MadAboutBusiness]

On the out takes he almost can't play it wrong. He has to try so hard to mess it up! Thumbs up for Zakk The Messiah!

[rmf09024]

shredding is overrated

[Exmortus100]

Oh look he is hairmuting!



[aleisterktk]

The 1st and 4th 'patterns' are worthless to a beginner... C'mon Zakk.

[johntguitar]

@aleisterktk Only if they plan on staying a beginner...

[johntguitar]

@aleisterktk Only if they plan on staying a beginner...

[DefPanther186]

...Wyldely pwned

[lvsexgtr]

25 people suck at guitar. love ya zakk!

[akaweedman]

zakk is God in human form,anyone that knows anything about music knows he;s a master at what he does

[The12daughertye]

My only problem with his technique, the fact that he picks with his whole damn arm. Also the fact he plays in mainly in penatonic.

Otherwise a fantastic guitar player, no doubt.

[flinty13]

His hair gets onto the strings LOL

[dancolbiel483]

@flinty13 really i dont think i saw that...thanks for commenting

[flinty13]

@dancolbiel483 You can see it all the time

[rsalemania]

Zakk's an amazing player who rises above other shredders because of his signature style, not just mindless speed.

[brutalclay]

Ummm yeah, I'm pretty sure Zakk can play rock, country and whatever....total dumbasses that say duh, Zakk can't play, duh...

[weirdman209]

*bows down* MASTER

[aldywwidyadharma]

Nothing better than Fender..



[snatchface8]

I saw zakk at 7-11 with his daughter

[evolutionmb]

My point proven again, you guys that trash him have no videos available. Toast12 and Unrealtx have nothing to show. Go listen to "Book of Shadows" and then tell me he sucks

[toasttoasttoast12]

@evolutionmb i don't say he sucks, i say he's overrated. some of his older acoustic stuff is fuckin sick, but he's gone to the side of totally cliche more recently

[sonique25]

I don´t like this guy...

[toasttoasttoast12]

way overrated guitarist. i mean if you like him then of course that's fine and your opinion is just as valid as mine, but as far as i'm concerned all he does is play basic pentatonic licks at speeds that make it all just sound like guitar wanking. sure he's had some cool solos, but he should try and come out of his comfort zone every once in a while. now i'm just waiting for the crazy zakk wylde fans to tell me that they'd like to see me play like him...

[nickypeeps]

@toasttoasttoast12 why would you say something, about anything, that you believe to be a re-enactment of a conversation people have already had?

[DallasVocals]

I can have lessons from Zakk? Alright!!! he actually slowed down for us Not-Worthies. :))) Love you Zakk!

[etrigan69]

The youtube comments always remind me of an old joke.

Q. How many guitar players does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A. 2. One to screw it in and one to say "That wasn't bad but I could have done it better...."

[matibaski]

SHRED MONSTER! But damn' I dont like his picking hand. It looks very fucked up

[beeroosterm]

@matibaski Are you shitting me? Who gives a fuck? Are you saying that he displays poor picking technique and that he could play better/faster using some other method? Shut up!

[Xdawg9087]

I wish i could shred like that damn!!!! ZAKK WYLDE YOUR A MONSTER!!!

[Bunters196]

@Xdawg9087 Learn yours 1st position pentatonic scale, and then you can.

[RainbowZebraHD]

I can play mastet of puppets solo, close enough

[MrBadchoice101]

i see the trick now!!! the hair resting on the string, it's like stickers on a honda. Give you monster horsepower boost! :)

[xjohnx19x]

hes a good guitarist but in his later music his solos just sound the same

[robertocazo1]

pentatonic

[TheD1158]

day thirty nine still can't find NJBOY96's comment

[CrazyTrain690]

Best guitarist shoudln`t be the best teachers to

[thelaizardman]

0:11 - 0:15 i was expecting those hammer-ons on the figures of the lessons...

[evolutionmb]

Modalgroove's comments = yawn.....

[link8675309]

press 1...then 2 heavy to light

[FaimlyGuyFan]

The first figure was the Am Pentatonic Scale right?

[RyuFalkner]

@FaimlyGuyFan Yeah

[ModalGroove]

@FaimlyGuyFan .. You should never ask yourself that question when it comes to Zakk Wylde. Thats the only scale he knows. I doubt he even knows what the notes are lol

[FaimlyGuyFan]

@ModalGroove haha yeah cause most of his shredding sounds the same.

[IHaveInvalidName]

me; This is easy

Zakk: so you are gonna end up sounding like *insert crazy lick here*

me: =O

[evolutionmb]

If Zakk Wylde sucks, then I wished I sucked at guitar as bad as him. These bafoons that talk crap about him NEVER have any videos posted of their stellar playing on their home pages. Your comments have zero validity to people who actually play the instrument my friend.

[xUnrealTx]

@evolutionmb whoever knows how to practice properly and knows some basic theory can do the same as zakk wylde. of course, you won't sound like him but you can sound good just if you know your scales and how to use them. zakk wylde is a great player.. but he is really just a scale wanker with average phrasing. ppl like jimmy page and jeff beck are examples of REAL guitar gods.

[Reaper1984]

@evolutionmb

The tone is very greasy here, and i have videos ! haha.

But he still rocks, but yeah it's very greasy and bad sounding the tone i think, the "pentatonic speedballer lesson" shows his playing more justice.

[ReptileTunes]

Best guitarist alive today.

[ModalGroove]

Im sorry i pissed off a bunch of tone deaf Zakk Wylde fans. Boo hoo Go listen to Paul Gilbert or something. You might learn something. Zakk Wylde fans = Tabulature trolls

[funnyvidzrus2]

@ModalGroove lol tone deaf, what do you listen to? justin fuckin beiber? ha! don't make me laugh. and you are the only troll here my friend, fuckoff, we don't want to listen to your illiterate bullshit anymore.

[guitar67badass]

modalgroove your an asshole and probably couldn't make anything musical if your life depended on it lol just keep runnin your scales lol modal man you can grow up to be buckethead lmao ;-}

[ModalGroove]

God this guy is crap. His fans are even more annoying. They just run around holding Zakk Wylde as the god he himself thinks he is. Yet not one of them can do anything other than a boring pentatonic scale or even musically explain the simplistic things. Trolls of metal and all things guitar

[scorpionz44]

@ModalGroove so ur saying his solos r shit cuz he uses pentatonic? where does it say that to make a good solo u need to use 10 different types of scales?

[ModalGroove]

@scorpionz44 .. I dont care what he does. I could listen to Doug Aldrich play his pentatonics all day and it'll actually be good. Zakk just sucks. His musical ear is probably the only thing out thats worse than Justin Bieber

[scorpionz44]

@ModalGroove if u dont care wat he does, then go away. how bout u go make something of ur life and see if ppl actual remotely no who u r

[ModalGroove]

@scorpionz44 .. ::yawn::

[nicolhaidi]

@ModalGroove

So you hate on Zakk because you think his fans are stupid? missing some logic, dude

[niggaT42000]

@ModalGroove YEAH FUCK THIS GUY, HE JUSTED PROVED HE SUCKS DICK BY USING THAT 'TROLL' WORD OR WHATEVER THE FUCK IT MEANS.......

FUCK YOU MODALGROOVE, YOU SUCK FAT ASS DICK BRA

[leehoward95]

@niggaT42000 dick bra? love it, never heard that one before, LOL

[ModalGroove]

@niggaT42000 .. thank you so much for your intelligent response Mr. nigga. Now I understand even more the mentality. I guess all you dudes can really handle is the same repetitive garbage. Maybe one day you will grow out of this phase and actually try to be a musician lol

[burtgummer0]

this is either before he went to EMGs on his custom, or he didn't have it yet

[Zoso709]

4:43

My friends, the creation of the troll face.

[metalweenis]

How did I get from Andy James to the noob guitar section?!

[kmmfucker343]

It's the camera qualityu. Zakk's the man, and I'd LOVE for someone to do better than him.

[daytona2134]

hes such a fairy fagmother

[bassplayer773]

so im guessing he graduated from harvard...he seems like an ivy league man to me

[airsoftandguitar101]

The amp is actually normal size, zakk is just very big.

[CloudiHoe]

@airsoftandguitar101

He's a giant viking God.

[9danielos5]

Zakk the Barbarian !

[dimebagdarrellftw]

2:29 yep i totally sound like that everytime i just pick up my jackson and play Zakk its really easy.

[JeffKnight]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[MrFuckhed]

nobody gives this guy shit when he plays the wah pedal on everything but if kirk hammet does it hes a piece of shit what gives?

[munromeo69]

@MrFuckhed cuz kirk hammet is a bitch

[powertotehchord]

i tried picking like that. i failed.

[bmr21021975]

his right hand looks nearly as bad as marty friedmans when he is playing

[UpToEleven81]

It doesn't matter what Zak plays. It ALWAYS sounds good.

He is a huge inspiration to me.

[penguinteddybear]

LoOk at that Marty Freidman style picking hand!

[MrFuckhed]

@penguinteddybear call it the dead hand. marty freidman kicks so much ass.

[LordYllsacky]

Wow, his picking technique really needs some work..

[Decrypted33]

@LordYllsacky it seems to be working just fine so....

[bloodguiltsolution]

23 people need to eat a Dick!!!

[MrJamesthetank]

can anyone tell me a website that has the tablature for the song "Refuse To Bow Down"? please respond because i really want to play this song for my school talent show this year.

[Tayshaun100]

The Tonality.

[indgiu]

don't those huge wristbands he wears damage the guitar body?

[magikbezdupy]

@indgiu

Some girls just like it rought.

[zxcvbnmrando]

where i can see TAB ?

[SnegoViKvsev]

@zxcvbnmrando At Guitar World website

[raykno]

@zxcvbnmrando no need of tab, he is playing all of the pentatonic patterns.

[saskekun101]

ha i bet the haters are lil wayne fans they think the lil wayne is better zakk wylde

[mrmcriff]

You know why Zakk drinks beer to slow him self down xD

[timberland1108]

that little small marshall with the head on it, does anybody know what model marshall that is??

[xxPSYCHOSLUTxx]

3:19-3:30

[noobspooge]

The only way someone can dislike these videos is if they were ear fucked so hard by there father they went deaf and now can't listen to it

[caitisnotonfire]

How many marshalls?

[pumita90]

dear sakk, i know those figures, but can u tell me how to break the light speed? thx

[pilar180]

GREATEST VIKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skwiddjergensen]

Stop trying to be envy momstien. You need to get back with Ozzy, NOT! You suck.

[opeth1230]

@skwiddjergensen its Malmsteen you moron. i smell jealousy.

[skwiddjergensen]

@opeth1230 It is mommy stein your ignorance. You do smell!

[pantellica051]

What finish is that Les Paul?

[scorpionz44]

@pantellica051 purple

[mirrorr2]

4:35 hahahhah!

[LostPie]

there would be no rock , metal, thrash, nuthin, without fast guitars. wtf is that dude talking about.

[XxBlindedGuitaristxX]

The noise he makes right at :40, the ending note with all that vibrato where he immediately flicks the toggle switch after he finishes that crazy ass run - is the only thing you need to know about why Zakk Wylde is the best. Even people who are crazy good at emulating his style don't pull off shit like that, not the way he does anyway.

[skwiddjergensen]

@XxBlindedGuitaristxX Obviously you have never hard of Joe Walsh, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Hendrix, ad nausea...  OR Eric Johnson, Toni Iommi, whatever, flake faced poseur.

[ncadencem]

yeah, lets all just find bogus excuses as to why this guy "sucks" at guitar.

[SpikeMichaels]

Motherfucker is sick...2nd best to EDDIE, IMO.....

[Barnabus007]

@SpikeMichaels I hope you don't take this the wrong way...I agree he is sick as hell...but to tink he is 3nd best makes me think you need to hear more "elite" shredders.......2nd fav no prob....2nd best I'd disagree...but I mean this in the best possible way.....keep jammin/listening!

[bronzehydra3]

his picking technique is horrendous

[NJBOY96]

his tone is Garbage.

[MrPocketGuitar]

@NJBOY96 To be fair this isnt his regular tone, this is through some cheap Marshall Solid State amp.

[IJmackdaddy]

@NJBOY96 yea. which is hard to do when you have a gibson thru a marshall. needs tone down the gain a bit
