Good lesson, some people can't appreciate when someone shares knowledge for free. Please keep posting these helpful ways of playing this beautiful instrument.

[Cloudeater7]

No offense, this guy is awesome, but the "before I forget" is getting really old. Haha.

[anggitarako]

Awesome teacher!

[Cheevey]

Fantastic lesson, my dad was grinning like a Cheshire cat with what you taught him. Can't wait to find out what we'll learn next!

Alright dudes, I have to chime in on this one.......ha, I haven't had hair in like 20 years.... But, yes I did learn guitar in the 80's. So, there you go. Love it! In the words of DT Rock On!!!!

[Mojk483]

[AndySan]

Stop wiggling the bar ALL THE F'N TIME!!!

Other than that, great lesson!

[xxFortunadoxx]

This is totally Steve Vai's style.

[ThLuckyOne]

LOVE NLG! KUDOS! Dave, you are so "understandable", even an old geezer like me can grasp what you're conveying. LOL! There's a LOT here! GREAT teaching technique, GREAT approach & presentation and GREAT fun. These vidz are a treasure. THANK YOU, NLG! ALL of the NLG teachers are awesome! THANK YOU, Dave! ROCK ON!

[shaggydogstl]

This guy is probably the best teacher here.

[dethpress]

After watching this i can say for 100% that I hate Stevie Vai style

[TDBhCorsica]

@dethpress watch original music not cover of steve vai style by not steve vai.

[tMattLZ]

@dethpress Hahaha i was just thinking the exact same thing

[kdrake777]

@dethpress LOL, if this guy actually sounded like Steve Vai, I would agree with you. He isn't even close.  Vai is hit and miss, but he has some great songs.

[kyleleon]

@dethpress are you kidding? Steve Vai's style is amazing. It has so much character and dynamics. His phrasing is so cool. His guitar playing is melodic. Certainly better than most guitar players who just shred the guitar as fast as they can.

[SaugaTricks]

@dethpress This isn't Vai.

[guillotinedeath]

@dethpress

why you say that

[jtone20]

@dethpress Theory is pretty important regardless of style...

[Trilobite8jesus]

@jtone20

Even Hendrix knew theory...

[drumfreak562]

Thanks for the vid! finally found a good video explaining the exact types of licks that i wanted help with ;O much love bro =]

[Paddy961000]

I hate maths :(

[BigHairyDog69]

What guitar are you using? Great videos by the way. My favourite from NLG, well, tied with Tw-Fist Mgee :D

[DJParkesie959II]

@BigHairyDog69 : I think he's using a Schecter, don't quote me on that though.

[espyoshi]

@DJParkesie959II schecter hellraiser solo-6 with floyd.

[TheRealDaKing93]

No.

[eltxo]

yeehaaa!

[ShawRoadProductions]

@eltxo I'm not even kidding, that is the exact same thing I said when I saw this in my sub box
