  • Where are parts 1 and 2?

  • it's like para-diddles for your picking hand

  • Gabriela not gabriella gringos puñetas

  • 1.30 paul gilbert anyone?

  • Flamenco guitar with a pick? What is the world comming to.

  • @Sinackular what a noob. this is isnt even flamenco. lmfao

  • Pyro. Not what he uses but try. E phygarian ( spelling). Or any E type scale that usually works with flamenco

  • WHAT THE FUCKING FRINCHING FUCK @ 1:30

  • how can people that make such good music be so retarded? sorry lol

  • yes you're right. i'm having the same frustration. on the first cycle he plays DOWN UP DOWN DOWN UP DOWN, then after that he just uses alternate picking, UP DOWN UP DOWN...etc...

  • what the goddamn fuck.

    Makes me jealous.

  • what scale is he playing

  • What scale is that????????

  • their music is so good. imagine if they tried to write it and sell it lol it would be a new style to write, especially for gabriela lol

  • I'm doing an essay on Rodrigo y Gabriela, does anybody know what scales they use?

  • i'm sure somebody will correct me out there, but they are using a lot of minor or (aeolian) scale, which is also common in metal.  it uses the same notes as a C major scale, but starts on an A. They also use a lot of the Phrygian mode, (3rd note of major scale) which gives them more of that "latin" sound when not playing their metal riffs. these guys are fucking phenoms. going to see their concert in 2 weeks!!!!!

  • @MrFricknfrack936 Yeah they use phyrigian a lot, they are also mixing it with the common Spanish scale (a bit more chromatic)

  • they use the Harmonic minor as in Tamacun A harmonic minor ABCDEFG#A

  • @kieranm3, héhéhéhé they use a lot of scales

  • @kieranm32 hey did you ever figure out what scales they use?

  • Of course this are Metal techniques ! That's this guys background ! And of course it is brilliant ! What would be wrong with Metal heads ? Hey ! Dave Mustaine just crushed Moon Unit Zappa and George Clinton on Jeopardy ! Also, it is proven by science that most guys with the high IQ marks listen to Metal ! so how about that !

  • lol. mustaine was insanely good on jeopardy!

  • Sounds like Al di meola more than PG.

  • How strange. He starts with economy picking to initiate inside the string alternate picking??? Whatever works!

  • Looks really like metal techniques adapted to acoustic guitar,but still it's brilliant,luv it

  • basically...

  • N WHERE R THE 1 AND 2 PARTS? :D

  • Nowhere :D.

  • These guys are brilliant.

  • Nice

  • its all scales thats why there mark acoustic

  • haha you can hear the irish in their accent from all their playing in dublin.

  • obviously nylon but im not sure augustine classical strings are good

  • is he muting the strings when he does that long bit

  • knuckle head? XD

    idk brand

  • umm thats definitely a pul gilbert lick

  • nylon loook where the string connects they are tied at the bottom

  • yeah, arent they suppose to be tied to the brige

  • well its also a pretty commen jazz lick

    al de meola has use it to and rod and gab are influence by jazz.

  • OMG! he IS stoned! I like them even more now!!!

  • LOL AT THE TAGS

  • omg lol

  • Comment removed

  • true

  • They should speak in spanish, then put some subtitles for you guys =P

  • Here's what he does:

    E--------7--------------------­--

    A-7-8-10---10-8-7-------------­--

    ( you can play this on anywhere on the guitar it's the same thing). With the strokes "Down-Up-Down-Down" he means that the first note you stroke down, the second up and the third down after that you continue the down stroke and hit the fourth note and then up to the fifth note in order to play faster. Srry if you can't understand, my english sucks. Ask questions if I didn't make something clear.

  • no i got what the notes hes playing but whats the style of picking hes using i mean i got an idea on what it is . oh and i think i commented on the dude who says rodrigo is stoned

  • he is so stoned

  • no i got it but its just what the name of the picking style he uses i mean i got an idea on what it is.

  • yes man i'll help ya! he does what he explains only for the first two triplets, when he starts with a down stroke.then as soon as he comes back at the strat, the stroke is up and from there on he just alternetes. i think the reason is he wants to start with a downstroke but then it is easier to alternate, so the pattern goes: up-down-u-d-u-d- etc.

    anyway...rod gab rulez!

    keep 6string'd!

    Ippe

  • Just look up a PG lick, it's pretty much the same.

  • I think you're just a pussy

  • @waddsy

    you have to be a musician yourself to understand.

  • Holy shit...

    I think they own a lot of metal guitarists out there for being able to do that picking on nylon acoustics.

  • Al DImeola also uses that pattern...a lot!... had he influenced Rodrigo's playing???

  • OMG his hand fell off...ha ha ha

  • RASCALE RODRIGO!

  • Great teaching thanks so much

  • is he using the modes or pentatonics for that minor scale he played?

  • he uses modes with the harmonic minor thrown in now and again to give it the Latin flavor

  • i see... i couldnt figure out what the heck he was doing...thanks

  • thanks but you have pt2

  • thanks nice

  • thanks for this

  • they are not humans

  • this dudes got style.. his english terminology is tops! he evn says f.u.c.k at 2:31!! haha!

  • Err.. he says Foc, It's the name of one of their songs which he plays some of just after he mentions it..

  • thats right! but with his accent he swears the same anyway!

    has anyone been able to find a video of diem? i've never heard them play it live only the version on re-foc

  • its on the dublin and manchester live cds and im not sure if its available in america
