Doug Aldrich: "Love Will Set You Free" Lesson (Part 1)

[MarkoKsenija]

Doug is amazing!!!

[Twinklesthecamppanda]

Argh, stuff like this makes me want to pick up and play guitar but I'm too lazy and expectant. I want to be able to just pick up and hit up some Hendrix or Whitesnake not keep repeating Smoke on the Water!! I think it's because I'm 19, I don't have the correct attention span.

[ulcares]

Notas simples, toneladas de estilo en ellas... Eres todo un genio!!!!! \m/

[akshay681186]

This is so strange to watch cuz I've met with him in person and we've chilled backstage at a rock festival :D

[fastra]

Spider fingers himself... awesome!!!

[crazzy696]

Love and respect for him. \m/

[RocketQueenBand201]

I'm a little bit frustrated. I invested a lot of time searching for the August 2011 issue so that I may have the "full...lesson tabs" (see Guitar World's video description).

Now that I have the issue, I can't find anything at all except for in the magazine's table of contents. There it says that the issue includes this video content. A footnote of sorts then says that the video content has moved online (no longer on CD).

It seems that there is no "lesson tab". :(

[EvaSlash]

@brandon5881 i dont think tabs would be much help because this riff is a real pain in the ass to play and really get sounding well. The song is in A minor and the main riff in the beginning is strictly based off A minor Pentatonic if that is any help you at all. the structure of the song is pretty basic but the real hard part is making it sound really fkng awesome like doug.

[brandon5881]

@EvaSlash I agree. Tablature is of only limited help. But, it would have been of /some/ help. I wouldn't have to have been looking so hard to determine exactly what he is playing. Besides that, it's the principle of the thing. I went through significant trouble to find and purchase the issue only to find that they weren't really offering the tablature.

[segimoveisfred]

talking about love is rare ideed these days!! please continue david

[Wickfingers]

He is just an amazing guitar player

[mgdth502]

Sykes will always be Whitesnake's best guitarist I think, he's like my second favorite guitarist ever! haha

I saw them live last Friday and Reb and Doug played so damn good... Reb has always been a favorite also. Doug is sick!

[pjmoreau]

@mgdth502 agree on all points. doug is the best thing to happen to WS since sykes...sorry, vai etc just didnt fit what whitesnake is about...cheers PS saw them 2 x this summer. reb roxx too

[Bang4URBux]

in the style of john sykes

[icecube0606]

Shit, I remember when I first heard the song. The intro riff hit me like a ton of bricks. Such a great guitar tone, and a damn good song

[mrgsxrboy1]

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!! song is awsome but ive never worked this hard to learn a song....o well ill get it soon

[jbeTV1]

Met Doug not long ago, and can honestly say you'll never meet a nicer dude. And one HELL of a player.

[EvaSlash]

i was just figuring out this riff and noticed he is fretting a fourth interval with his pinky and doing all the slides. how the hell does he do it with his pinky? must be made of steel. it looks like his pinky is bending but mine does not

[ShredForth]

@EvaSlash i bet he can because he seems to make a concious effort to use it all the time...................scales, riffs everything.........

[bigbold409]

that les paul just got raped!!

[xxguitardude93xx]

You gonna show us that solo Doug??

[j12elliott]

Its Whitesnake folks they do what they do.........great guitars and sappy love lyrics.....

[MFHCFH]

I don't care what people say, this song is fucking catchy!

[TheMACcar]

That's OK but, It doesn't really go where I would like it to go.

[Renannuness]

This guitar is so bealtiful '-' 

[Revocratic]

not very precise...

[6paidaa]

the guy who dislicked this vid must have been wasted when he clicked on the button :D

[Hallslys]

@raqugo123 or his suhr aldrich pickups!

[raqugo123]

[216trixie]

@raqugo123 Could be the Les Paul he's playing.

[MadDistortion]

[EvaSlash]

[jwe986]

[skate4lifebit]

:O EARSEPTIONGASM!!!!

[marcussilvamgs]

OMG A WHITESNAKE SONG THAT TALKS ABOUT LOVE! SHIT! Thats something rare.

[Za7a7aZ]

@marcussilvamgs Have you ever seen an interview with David Coverdale....? Without make-up (and with btw) he looks like the devils little helper and bolted together preventing falling apart.

[raxxalexx]

LOVELY DISTORTION!

[raxanci]

@raxxalexx I think he using an classic Boss DS1.

[raxxalexx]

@raxanci Thanks mate!

[icecube0606]

@raxxalexx correction: he's using a majic (thats how its spelled) box rocket fuel. its an overdrive pedal with an added boost channel. Supposedly he engages both the overdrive and boost channels to get that tone

[raxxalexx]

@icecube0606 Awesome man!! Thanks!



[Tobiscuits]

this guy is awesome, that riff sounds like some early VH stuff.

[xMATTIAAS]

I like the pre-chorus :) It sounds nice
