  • in depth guitar lessons great job

  • I about died when he said ''It's not about how many indecipherable logos you have on your long-sleeved tee-shirt.'' That was amazing and random.

  • Moonsorrow on the background =D

  • Ur lessons r great. I'm a 41 yr old metalhead who is a beginner at guitar and ur lessons have helped give me a foundation to build on. Could u please teach a lesson on drop D tuning. I can never get that right. Thanks for your videos and i look forward to ur future teachings.

  • @rebirth1969 Thanks man but I am done making guitar lessons. Drop tuning is not much different than regular tuning, except that one of the strings is lower, so some of your chord shapes will be different by two frets.

  • I have an epiphone les paul and the weight is really nice and i am really getting used to it, but my friend has an sg and it is really easy to get to those high frets and even hough it is lighter, it feels really nice also. Should i get that as it is easier to play?

  • Personally I prefer SGs, but Les Pauls are great too. It's up to you.

  • @GuitarCrazy12100 Sg's are fantastics for heavier dirtier songs but if you want a classic rock type sound I'd stick with the Les Paul.

  • i want that cloud bed. Lol. You rock the most!!! You are awesome. love the sg! Rock on!

  • I love your lessons, man. I've been waiting for a new one for months, keep them coming!

  • haha red epiphone sg :}

    thats the exact same guitar i have atm.

  • to play metal you have to think metal have a metal heart metal soul, feel metal you know. I also play metal i love everything about it!

  • metal kicks ass

  • thanks for the help im just learning about metal playing so these videos are helping me out alor

  • you are very right saying that metal is on the inside and not on the outside! great videos, thanks a lot. I will be starting to learn guitar soon, so I`ll use your help in this matter :)

  • I like you, you're smiley :D

  • lol! ur so funnny =P u seem kinda like nervous a bit n then ur like talking a lot haha so funny =P i already like u xD

  • Oh and cloud bed? WTF?

  • Yes it's random.

  • Thanks dude. Well it's a bit hard to make these videos because I'm pretty much just talking to myself. So I use a bit of body language.

  • Everything you just said was 100% true! :)

  • your awesome dude- truely awesome! i mean we need more people like you! its sad that everyone else does this stuff for advertising and selfish gain, but your inspirational-no formal musical training thats the way i chose to go too and its really cool to see someone else who learnt like i do play the guitar so well!

    thanks

  • Yeah man you right, I don't have a tatoo or long hair too, but true metal it's something in our heart that will stay there forever

  • Stop it I'm gettin misty.

  • Cool!) Moonsorrow on a background))

  • thanks man that was some good information.

    how long have u been playing?

  • Sure man glad you liked it. I've been playing for 11 or 12 years.

  • sweet stuff man you rock \m/

  • Very good tips. Thanks for everything.

  • How is that Epiphone working out? I bought an Epiphone Les Paul once... it was a great looking, playing and sounding guitar, but the finish was shit! The frets were sticking out on one end, and the knobs broke off in the first week. I returned it and got a used wolfgang for $900, and sold that wolfgang for $2250!

  • It's working out great for me thanks dude. The tuners did break on me but I replaced them. But I've never had other problems like that! That sucks man. But I guess it worked out with your new guitar.

  • K man, I'm gonna start from the first video and go to your last. What's a floyd rose?

  • Sure, it's a type of tremolo bridge that is designed to stay in tune very well when you use it.

  • okay, thanks. is it pre built on any guitars?

  • Yes, it comes on many guitars. Check out some guitar websites like Jackson, ESP, Ibanez, etc for more information.

  • a lot of deans have floyds...

  • nice video

  • Wow man thanks for all the dedaction to the fans!

    and of course thanks for the lessons

    Do u Know any good hard rock or metal bands with easy song coz i wanna practise the style but metals too hgrd

    Thanks so much!

  • Thanks dude for sure, no problem. I'd suggest starting out learning some easy Metallica songs like For Whom The Bell Tolls. If you want to play even easier stuff, you can learn some AC/DC. Regardless of if it's easy or not, focus on playing cleanly and very accurately.

  • what do you think are the best strings (guage) for drop c and d standard?

  • The best gauge strings are whatever are comfortable for you and give you the best sound for the tuning you play in. Personally, I like to use D'Addario 11's for lower tunings like those.

  • Hey man, I like 11 guage, but I would have to say, the thicker the string, the heavier the sound. If you want more umph in your playing, something rugged, then play heavier guage. It is, like he said, what you wanna hear, though. If you like heavier sounds, then higher guages are needed. I play in a 13 guage string.

  • HI RedSgShredder ! (my fan on youtube) one question: i want to buy a epiphone g-400 Sg, but is it a waste of money on a guitar made in china?

    my friends says that i should not buy a epiphone.. but i think it sounds good. have been testing it, and its a good guitar for the mon

  • Well I think it's a great guitar. I've had mine for a long time and I've loved it. I'd say try out the guitars your friends say are better and make the decision yourself. But be warned, most people seem to think that the SG is a bad guitar because it isn't a fancy "metal" guitar like an ESP or something or because it doesn't have a Floyd Rose.

  • whats the best way of getting good at rythm?

  • I'd say lots of practice and learning to play while listening to others rather than just focusing on your own playing.

  • Dude when are you doing a new lesson? It's been a while hehe. But don't sweat yourself it's fine...

    Dude, this is MelodicMetalBoy. I don't use MelodicMetalBoy so much.

    Check out my new covers on this channel.

    By the way, my mom is going to New York and she will get me an Ibanez MT-10. Mick Thompson signature.. I think its an awsome guitar. Not because its his. But yeah i like the sound of it. And I play confy on them. Hehe

  • Whats up man, it has been a while for sure! Congrats on the new guitar man. Well I am planning on doing my next lesson in a day or two. I've been extremely busy, and I was sick for a while too.

  • ROCK ON BrO

    ALL IN THE HEART LOL

    But true

  • hay dude! thx 4 lessons^^ i have the same guitar! it rocks :D which pick ups you use?

  • Hi, I just want to ask you what guitar you recomend for me. you see i want to buy a epiphone g400 but i dont know if the fender stratocaster is a better guitar. so my question is what do you think i should buy?

  • Sure dude. I actually have both, heh. I think the G400 is a better choice for hard rock and metal, but the Stratocaster is good for rock and blues. It's all about the style of music you want to play.

  • Hey man!been looking for a while for some good theory lessons and this seems pretty good!!!!!cheers buddy!:)

  • you are a wise man. Thank you for the talk. I'm gonna devour your videos

  • dude your arms are hairy! awesome job btw.

  • Not only that but he has whiter teeth than the colour of this ibanez!

  • ^ Click my name for Free Video Guitar Lessons.

  • Awesome, thanks man

  • lol i have the same guitar with an emg too

  • Out of curiosity, why the Epiphone G-400 instead of a Gibson SG Standard? Was it the price difference?

  • Yes, the price difference was a big factor. The G400 was $400 or so, and the Gibson was $900 or so. The Gibson has neck binding (which is purely cosmetic), better pickups, better tuners, in my opinion a cooler looking pickguard, better quality, and of course the Gibson name. I replaced the bridge pickup and tuners for a total of about $150, and I haven't had any problems with the quality or craftsmanship. I can live without the brand name and cosmetics, so I saved about $350.

  • thanks for making these vids. theyre nice and kinda personal. its like youre just having a conversation with someone. very real.

  • Cool video.

    Looking forward to the others.

    Gonna watch next part now.

  • You incest redneck asshole. Keep your opinion to yourself.

  • You don't make jokes like that, you prick

  • dude you rock. lol, also, i havent seen a power metal guitarist with an SG :P

    i think you pull it off awesome. thanks dude.

  • correct me if im wrong, are you listening to moonsorrow in the background?

  • That's right, Moonsorrow is fucking awesome!

  • what means tagged? sorry Im dutch from the netherlands my english is not so good and I like your videos it helps me getting beter

  • Thanks, glad I could help. It's a game people have been playing on YouTube where you are supposed to tell five facts about yourself.

  • I know you can't reply to this...but youre awsome :]

  • dude ur awsome

  • You seem like a real guitar teacher and if I had afford to get a teacher I would want you to teach me but of course its not possible.

  • hi dude

  • Epiphone. All of my equipment and settings are listed on my main channel profile page.

    thanx

  • Thanks man. I have the regular G400.

  • AHAHAHA i laughed so hard when you said

    im not exactly sure how this went, so dont hate on me if a part is wrong

    "if youre gonna play guitar just to make money... let me tell you son, you are very wrong. in fact youre gonna be broke all the time... youre better off.... buying lottery tickets *heh*"

    that was great. i roflmao'd

  • haha your always so happy xD

  • i cant use picks cause it makes my guitar sound weird so i use my thumb or my fingers.

  • hey shredder

    i dont kno if your reading this but

    i think you should do a megadeth cover

    on any song in general

    but ive seen some people try to do covers on them that arent good at all

    and i know you would do awesome so i think it would be cool if would do that

  • Update: Megadeth sucks

  • fuck les pauls too heavy and not a versatile has the sg..

    fuck you its true

    sg is a lighter,better neck,sound,and cutaway make playing way easier..

    i have the gibson cherry standard

  • There is a footswich to my amp distortion?(no, i didn't got one with my amp)

    someone please answar)

  • Well depending on your amp, you might be able to get one. You should look it up.

  • can i play with long fingernails instead of a pick cause i like the way it sounds n i hope it could be good for harder song (COBHC)!

    \,,/u pro btw

  • I strongly advice you to use a pick. You will have a lot more control that way.

  • awesome, but why an SG? D= LES PAULS FOR LIFE >=[.

  • Thanks dude, heh. Well for me Les Pauls are just too big, and I love the double cutaway on the SG.

  • Please Help Me Red Sg Shredder!!!Ok so my Dad bought me a Jackson JS30RR a couple of weeks ago.I heard that the guitar had alot of buzz so i took the back of the guitar off.I played on it for about a week more and one day I plugged it in and nothing came out.So i figured that it was a cable so i went and bought another one and nothing still.I hope you can help me.

  • I think you are a wise man.. But the thing about making money with music.. I mean thats the nice thing about music you have to do it all yourself and I believe that if you really want something you can make it whatever it is. Nothing less than a 100% And ofcourse you're gonna get rejected.But just say fuck and go for it and do your fuckin thing. Why would you practice your ass of for like ten years and than not wanna show off.

  • sry 4 the delay between the 2 parts of my comment, was 2 fkin drunk n thought it worked:S haha ROCK ON \,,/

  • wikid vids i will try get round to watch the others... can you watch my videos and tell me what you think... like you i love music... its my life and i will be 100% dedicated to it... i also rly like ur guitar... but its epiphone ur level of dedication deserves anything at all not just Epiphone, epi is good but man u deserve way better

  • Hey buddy! I must say that ur Metal speech is so not weird. I think that every real metal fan feel exactly like you do. BTW id like to ask you a question. I used to play metal on an acoustic guitar like 5 yers ago for 2 years, i got pretty good but i stopped cause it didn't sounded like i wanted and I was too young and 2 poor to buy some real guitar. Now that i got some money I cant handle the passion anymore and after 3 fkin awesome metal show (Metallica n Godsmack, COBHC, Gigantour 2008)

  • I decided to buy a real guitar the rock the shit outta my place. So should I buy Jackson RX10D Randy Rhoads, Ibanez RG350EX, or ESP LTD Alexi 200 (wich im fkin in love with)?? Thx for ur videos and ur answer!!

  • wow, your intake on metal is incredible, i kinda have the same idea of it, and i really like your videos.

  • how did you get this good without any lessons? btw your awesome

  • Heheh thanks dude. I guess I just played a lot and watched a lot of videos of other great guitarists.

  • Any time dude! I usually tune my guitar to D standard. I always tuned to that when I used to play in band. Its even better because I play so much Children Of Bodom.

  • Haha I noticed, I have watched all those videos man.

  • Hey, hopefully you read this. I got a Jackson King V JS-30 and I have videos of me playing some Metallica songs. For the most part I'm hesitating to stay in rhythm with the song. I need some advice on what I'm doing wrong and how to stay in sync with the song because I need to know how you do so damn good.

  • Sure dude. I'd say you might be concentrating on playing the riffs too much and not listening to the drums enough. Make sure you listen to the drums and listen to the little cues that help you stay on beat. Playing with a live drummer would help too.

  • dude u hav got a serious guitar......and u even use it up to that level.....really cool man...keep it up!!!

  • i didn`t know you were funny too haha

  • What a ledge

  • the chord tutorial is great and simple - triad and the basic theory of major and minor roots and 3rd

  • Personally I think the differences are minimal. I got an Epiphone when I didn't have enough money to buy a Gibson. Even though I could afford a Gibson now, I just wouldn't bother because I've played Gibsons and they are pretty much exactly the same, except for some cosmetic differences, and of course a few hundred dollars. I don't spend money just because I have it. I don't think I'm an idiot.

  • Epiphones are good guitars in lieu of a Gibson.

    I've got an Epiphone SG and it sounds just as good as some of the Gibsons.

    This is a great thing keep em coming!

  • Why are you criticizing him for picking a different guitar? Seriously an Epiphone is just a budget Gibson.

    I'd like to see you play as good as him.

  • Great Job! Love your videos

  • THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

  • hey todd i wish u good luck on singing and remember to have i hope u make it far!!!!

  • thank you for this video man it really gave me a good inspiration to keep on trying and not giving up on guitar; because i try to play harder songs like disturbed in all but i noticed that i cant because i jump right into the songs i can't play and then give up on guitar saying that i can't do it.

  • the hole thing was taking and he tocks about his bead

  • Hi everyone Im Todd Reeves i was a boxer but now im trying as a singer/songwriter

    Im going to enter X Factor this year!!!

    Id really appreciate it if you would chk out my song 'someone else' and let me know what you think!

    Thanks!

  • of course, its an introduction, wat do you think

  • Lol U Talk Alot Huh

  • Great video and excellent discription of what Metal is all about. I definetly know what you mean...been trying to get my older brother into Metal...just can't get him to convert...its one of those things, you either get it or you dont.

  • make him listen to 10 of ur fav albums and maybe itll work....i gave metal a 10-album chance and im "converted"

  • yeah, you can't give up on him just yet. i've been trying to convert my lil bro over to the metal side and make him see the errors of his rap habbits

  • Keep up with that all we need is another rapper... :(

    But damn seriously people its just an INTRODUCTION! Exactly like he said don't give up on him yet.

  • Sir, you are an inspiration!

    Thanks for the vids, they've helped a lot!

  • Do you ever make your bed?

  • Hahah! I certainly do, but since my bed is somewhat large (full size) and my room is tiny, there is like two feet between me and my camera, and I'm right up against the bed frame. So I always move the covers and blankets over when I record YouTube videos because I don't want my chair to rub up against them and get it dirty.

  • RedSGShredder, just bought my first guitar, westwood 6 string electric, black, never played before so only a cheap thing, it will be with me on tuesday and i hope i can use ur lessons to get to learn,

    I checked out some of ur playing and DAM! your unreal!!

    Only problem is i cant seem to find

    lesson 1

    lesson 2 etc.

    Cheers man and keep up the amazing work

  • Congratulations on the new guitar man. Thanks for dropping by and visiting dude. I hope my lessons help you out. Anyway, you can find my lesson videos attached as responses to this video, or you can check out my main profile page, and find a playlist with all of my lessons.

  • did you not see the word "introduction"?

  • I totally agree with you on the whole spirit of Metal thing, not needing an image, etc, but I do love having long hair and wearing band shirts haha. Keep it Metal

  • U FRICKIN TALK 2 MUCH!

    UR SUPPOSED 2 B TEACHING HOW 2 PLAY THE GUITAR,

    NOT TALK ABOUT UR STPID BLOGS AND CRAP.

    its called an introduction.

    its usually a 30 secs to a minute.

    ....

  • WOW. Get a life man, your definately something that I mostly consider as, a piece of shit? He's supposed to be talking!!! My guitar teacher talks to me whenever he teaches me a song. Well duh ofcourse he has to. So if you hate this video, then stop watching his videos. Greaser!!

  • U FRICKIN TALK 2 MUCH!

    UR SUPPOSED 2 B TEACHING HOW 2 PLAY THE GUITAR,

    NOT TALK ABOUT UR STPID BLOGS AND CRAP.

    its called an introduction.

    its usually a 30 secs to a minute.

    ....

  • sounds good =] was gutted that ther was not an actuall lesson within that video lol but look forward to watchin some =]

  • much appreciated look forward to checkin out the lessons

  • Everyone who's bashing this, shut up! It's called Introduction for a reason. Is it a crime to just want to speak your mind occasionally? It's not like you paid to watch these videos, so stop complaining.

    Looking forward to see the rest of your vids =)

  • wow, really calm down it takes time to learn how to play a guitar first an foremost is the "buying part" if you buy a shitty guitar you wont be able to do much. If you want to see people play then search "guitar playing" not lessons because sometimes lessons are boring but guess what learning to play a guitar is like being in school and it requires certain aspects of playing. though i do agree you should demonstrate the skills you are teaching a bit ^_^ helpful Critisizm

  • why not stop talking and play but i don't wanna hurt ur feelings.

  • what the fuck.

    how about you play some shit instead of talking so fucking much.

    i came here to learn. not hear bullshit about how to buy a guitar.

    i think a lot of us want to learn from your skills. so teach us!

  • Well, as I said in the lesson, aspiring to be a great guitarist is a huge undertaking. It requires a big sacrifice, and a lot of patience. I had to make an introduction to talk about what you will expect from my guitar lesson series. If you want to see me play some shit instead of talk so fucking much, I have about fifty or so videos you can watch. If you want to learn from my skills, you need to be patient and understand why I made this video.

  • Yeah dude, RedSGShredder is right. If your not interested in this video, then go watch some poor fag pose in front of you in the beach.

  • what the fuck does fags on a beach have to do with guitar playing?

    got Gay on the mind do you?

    its always the ones in denial who talk shit.

  • dawm shut up...you didnt say shit

  • ummm you were talking for 10 mins and no playing wtf LAME!

  • This is FUCKING PART FUCKIN 1 FUCKING PART. Damn, he has to talk, OMG Just follow his lessons and then you'll see. Homobullshit.

  • Thanks for taking the time to make this. I am a composer but have been wanting to learn guitar for a while. I have been messing around with me, but its great to see someone is putting up free lessons. Can't wait to watch the rest of the videos.

    Cheers!

  • where do you get your tabs

  • I learn songs by ear or go to ultimate guitar. It's all there in my channel profile page.

  • Hey dude, I was wondering, I'm just going to post a video, Where I'm gonna do a few pinch harmonics in the song. And If you comment, can you tell me what you think please? Because I just learnt how to do them and I can't make them sound like yours.. So If you could please then comment when I will post the video of me doing some pinch harmonics. Tell me what you think.

    P.S: Looking forward for your new videos.

  • Hey man, sure thing I will check it out. Send it to me when you make it. By the way, thanks for explaining what this video is all about to the people who have been watching this video with little or no attention span, heheh.

  • No problem. Keep up the videos.

  • omfg, this guy isnt teaching anything, im a begginer guitarrist and i cant afford classes to learn how to do it so i got to see videos that teach how do do it, and WHAT THE HELL extremely dificult to make it has a good guitarrist in the music industry? omfg what a way to destroy the hopes of a born begginer -_-

  • Yes it is extremely difficult to be a professional musician making a lot of money. That is a fact of life. It doesn't mean it can't happen though.

  • aLuCaRdHTTB, if your only starting guitar just so you can be a famous guitar player or something like that, then your an idiot. There are millions of great guitar players around the world that won't ever make it in the music industry.

  • ufif your looking into videos to try to be a god guitar palyer in the industry then put your guitar down right now. if you wanna play guitar to be big IN THE INDUSTRY then you are what is failing at guitar now.

    now if you simmply worded that wrong and want to be a good guitar player IN GENERAL than give him time, he hasnt taught any real playing yet

  • play guitar because you LOVE METAL!!! not to be rich or famous (well that comes later)

    pick up a guitar and and just strum it and get to feel it instead of whining about affording lessons. I played for about 4 years SELF-TAUGHT without lessons.

    don't just give up man play for YOURSELF!!! not for anyone else.

  • Nice man. I love the fact that some people are pretty damn ignorant and completely miss the word "Introduction" in the title and expect to see playing :)

  • SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PLAY

  • I expected to see you play some, im a bit disapointed ;( nvm your vidz are great

  • After watching so many of your Children of Bodom over the past year, I'm glad you finally did a lesson video. Your awesome, man!

  • i cant believe it! i just wasted 10 minutes of my life watching you talk rubbish and doing those inverted comma signs with your fingers when you could have been playing your guitar.why do think anyone is going to be intrested in what you call your bed.

  • Well I talked about my bed because I got "tagged". You can search around on YouTube if you don't know what that is all about. Anyway, if you want to see me play guitar, I have plenty of other videos for that. This series is to teach you about guitar. Also, one of the main points I made is that you must have patience in order to be a great guitarist. So trust me, 10 minutes is nothing.
