Re: How to play "He Man Woman Hater Solo"

[merlimax]

I have a question , could I swap my hands for yours please.. Lol

[tonydjangolopez]

for the last ten years i've been playing only the classical guitar and later gypsy jazz... but this great lesson has convinced me it's worth to give my electric guitar another try ;)

thanks a lot!

tony

[tmgermann]

Very cool. Thanks

[corradocapp]

thank you..very useful instructional video..Now i'm learning the whole piece and i found some difficoult to play the fast line exatly before this tapping line: it seems composed with wide 4th interval stretch but i cannot realize if it's played with tapping or something else..i' ve seen the official transcpription but i think isn't right..can you help me?

[StewieFavre]

cool cat!!!



[jazzer3000]

Thanx a lot for your lesson, i got it down now all thanks to you. its not that hard once you know what to do :)

Cheers.

[Dudeprelude69]

You Looks Like Vince Vaughn, Who Virtuoso Plays On The Guitar!

Very nice vid...

[AxerJk]

@Dudeprelude69 That's two great compliments, thanks! :-D

[charles1967]

So the pattern to the tapping is really similar to the tapping part in "Get The Funk Out", it seems.

[SDesWriter]

Thanks man. I've got the tab for this, but could never figure out how to get the fingering and feel right. You broke it down perfectly.

BTW, my teacher (a well-known guitar player) made me do the exact same thing. The only reason I'm not better is I gave up his advice after I started getting some recognition and never got serious about it again. Your technique is superb!

[TheLustForGoth]

Thanks!

Do you have some practice methods for increasing the speed and still playing it clean and precise like you do?

[AxerJk]

For the most part, I use a metronome and start very slow, maybe around 60. (I know this maybe be old, tired advice, but that's usually how I practice difficult runs like this.) Even if you have the coordination down at that speed, starting at a slow tempo for a while helps to build the strength of the left hand. I'll usually increase the metronome by about 8 to 12 bpms when I feel I have it. And sometimes I'll watch an episode of Family Guy that I've seen many times to make it mre interesting!

[TheLustForGoth]

Hehe ok that's and old advice indeed, but now I know you made it this far doing that I got my self lots of motivation :P

Thanks again :)

[LennartIbanez]

@AxerJk And are it just 16th notes?? cause im nog coming out..

[frank5152]

thanks praticed one hour now i got it but will still work it to get it clean.

[frank5152]

are you palm muting?

[AxerJk]

Nope, no palm muting.

[matthewcross]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh....  and here it is!!!! thank you!

[emilarchenemy2]

thank you for this great lesson! Can you show us also the tapping of "Get the funk out" this way?

[AxerJk]

Hey guys! Check out the video response to this, "Get the Funk Out" is now on there!

[andrew625]

wooow nice tutorial vid!! and i never thought it was only tapping....!!! loool i thought its like tapping and sweeping combined or some sort loool!!!

[sossessinha]

Great Job Man!

Thanx

[hipeas93]

i played this slow and i thought YES IVE GOT IT!! then i tried playing it fast.... :/

[zzerovisibility]

A great soul to share this with us.

Thanks ever so much.

Keep up the fantastic work!!!

[thsgyvk]

Thank u man!

[engchaves]

Spectacular!

[Cognac2031]

hey bro could u tell me what nots your hitting, when u do that slight change in the arpeggio? right at the end of the 4th one, when u hit a few high notes.

[AxerJk]

Ah yes, good point. I hope I can explain it clearly on here. The notes are all on the B string as follows:

17(tapped), 10, 12, 14 17(tapped), 14, 12, 10, 12, 14, 19(tapped), 14, 12, 10.

There's no picking, all legato there. I know it's hard to learn it in text, so please let me know if you are still having trouble.

[Cognac2031]

ah great, thank u so much man, that was perfect.

i think i got it now. thanks again!

[AxerJk]

No problem, glad I was able to help!

[Winterfogel]

This really helped me a lot. I can now put my fingers where they need to, but: there's something I'm still struggling with: I don't understand how to count these notes; are they triplets? Or quadrupleds? Because I can't get it to fit in either; there are 17 notes in the pattern you show, so is one of them held longer than the others, or how? Btw, thanks for putting this video up!

[AxerJk]

I know exactly what you mean! I don't know if there really is a definite timing to this solo. Usually when I practiced this with a metronome, I did them as 16th notes, and I played the last 3 notes (the descending triad) quicker, as 16th note triplets.

So the count was something like this: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 12 123 and that's how I repeated the pattern, if that helps any. I know it doesn't fit in very well, I think he just crammed a bunch of notes in.

[Winterfogel]

Thanks, you really made my day! I'll stop tearing hair out and go try that out right away!

[gibsonstrasbourg]

that's a great job !! don't listen those nasty comments : (jealousy) you can't do anything about that. You're a great guitarist thank you.

[AxerJk]

Thank you for the kind comments! And you're absolutely right, there will be negative comments, and there's no way around that. Thank you!

[haubsen]

very interesting

the song is

get the funk out

idiot.

[AxerJk]

You're wrong. "Get the Funk Out" as a very similar tapping part in it, but this is from "He Man Woman Hater." Go listen to the song. It's one thing to correct me if I'm wrong, but calling me an idiot for a mistake ( which wasn't actually a mistake) shows what a shallow person you are.

[merrijayne4]

thank you for demystifying that for me. Gonna take a lot of time to build up some speed, but, its definitely very cool.

[dtune00]

Way cool man, thanks!

[chessrincon]

Good guy, thanks.

[Wingkido]

nice! cool petrucci guitar too

[Cognac2031]

man this was great! i can play it now :D

just not full speed yet lol

[AxerJk]

Keep working at it! Watch a movie that you've seen a million times and use the metronome and you'll get it!

[filterswitch11]

thanks man great lesson! cheers!

[ucoxDeLaLi]

wow,,,your sweep tapping technique is great ! thanks man,,,for sharing with us,,,take care that fingers,,,, :-)

[marcospinetta]

great man! cool & usefull to humankind! you have a great personality

[AxerJk]

Thank you! I'm happy that it is helping people out and thank you for the kind comments!

[tomicohen23]

,,,very cool and clear lesson,,,thanks man,,,you have a nice touch of that tapping,,,

[Steeznutz247]

dude your rockn! id love to learn a few others too. YIM steeznutz247 later man!

[NisseEricsson]

You are awesome man. I suck at tapping but this video which is made for really great tappers made me still understand while you showed in a slow tempo. Most people that make hard lessons make them too fast but you made it in a way where I (dumbass) even would understand. I will practice this though I really can´t play it for years. Keep making videos, I´ll subscribe.

[AxerJk]

Thank you for the kind comments and it makes me happy that this was a good help! When I get my chops back up, I will start posting more. Thank you!

[gtrslinger]

How do i get you to return my phone calls you sexy beast?! lol

[Theyatomicpunk]

hey how do u get the sound. it sounds like your using delay and reverb? not sure. and just the amp sound in generel?

[AxerJk]

Yep! I'm using a Line 6 Delay Modeler, which sounds great. No reverb though. Believe it or not I'm actually using a solid state amp - a Laney GC120C.

[seventhstring84]

Okay...

I looked at the video one more time and I think I got it now. :)

[seventhstring84]

Hey!

Awesome playing, good explanation!

I saw this video yesterday at work (haha) and immediately practiced that at home.

But now I have one question:

The changing to the position to the next tonal key you did not really explain.

So what would be the lick WHILE changing? At which time of the pattern? AAAAAND: Which are the different positions? (When you just mention the frets it would be enough for me) :)

Thank you very much!

[mikeleevickers]

Thanks man.  This helped me a lot. It's such a cool sounding lick. Off to practice.

[kfa4303]

Awesome! Great explanation I will now attempt to shred! Wish me luck!

[jakerowguitar]

Hey Axer Jk, excellent job!!! Greetings form Brazil!

[GtrGeorge]

Well done..I am not working on this solo rtight now..but I TRULY respect your teaching style and "open-ness". I teach also, and my bassist is talking to you re: being in a band with me..anyhow..regardless..thanks for putting music to the front again.

 -As it should be.

[gogograt]

yeah that the same tapping of get the funk out! it's cool can you help us of the beginning just before the plan tapping when you explained please :)thank

gret job

[mongfarmer]

Great Vid man, will practice this for hours

[unchained82]

Incredibly well done!

Do you happen to know the crazy, stretch lick he does right before he burns into those string-skipped taps?

[mkeysou812]

great video dude, your technique is awesome

[jclaxon]

Great job, man!

[kokoriko999]

wicked!!!Thank u so much!U are really good!

[We4JC]

great job! that was so amazing in the other vid of you tapping it in hyper speed please come out with more how-to's of Nuno!

[Globesoff]

Молоток мужик!

[willprich]

This guy isn't showing off. Great explanation and great playing. Thanks. One day I'll make it sound as clean as that. :) (fingures crossed)

[amtt81]

I have viewed thousands of videos on here, but I really just created an account on youtube to tell you that i think the unpretentious and down to earth way you did this was awesome. It makes you that much better of a player than all the other people out there choking on their own bs trying make themselves feel better than everyone (even Nuno, sorry Nuno - you rule - even Nuno!). It goes without saying that your guitar playing is exceptional. I hope to meet you online someday.

Thanks Bro!

[AxerJk]

Thank you very much for the kind comments. I really want to help reintroduce great musicianship and great guitar playing in the music world, and I am happy you see it that way. Thank you again, and let me know if there is anything I can help you with!

[sixxthunderbird]

Steve Yzerman. I have that poster somewhere.

[AxerJk]

Yeppers, are you from Michigan?

[sixxthunderbird]

Yeah, I'm in Shelby Twp.

[AxerJk]

Right on man, I'm from Livonia. Can't be from Michigan and not be a Wings fan!

[sixxthunderbird]

Exactly! Lidstrom is great and all, but I still wish Steve was our captain. It just feels right.

[nemesisrogue]

Well done. Very clean. How do you mute the strings - left hand?

[AxerJk]

I use the palm of my right hand to mute the lower strings, and on my left hand, the higher strings are muted by my fingers in the area beyond my fingertips.

[seanSHRED87]

Awesome!

[oldskoolshredda]

hey, nice one. tis is a very helpful video
