Steve Morse Lesson

[SpearShark]

Thumbs up if you are here because of John Petrucci!

[blaakdawg]

How tall is this guy? His guitar looks tiny compared to his size.

[MrSteveMorse]

@blaakdawg He's not actually that tall. Im a 17 year old 178cm (approx) person and im slightly taller cause i had a chat with him backstage after seeing deep purple in may last year. (I was 16 and probs 176cm back then). Theres a video of me and him having a chat for proof! (not on youtube)

[blaakdawg]

@MrSteveMorse Probably just the (music man?) guitar being small then, thanks.

[JaoquinQ]

aw gimmie that ol' ball splitter

[TheMonkeysGoOoh]

watch his left arm muscles at 2:50

[MELMEL6207]

Nice Nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MELMEL6207]

Thanks Steve just what I needed Mel Gray



[MELMEL6207]

Thanks Steve just what I needed Mel Gray

[gitarmats]

I will never be able to look at this video the same way again thanks to these comments...

[TheGlennerd]

whats the name of the song that comes in around 2:00?

[pattygilmour]

9 people clearly don't have Morse's Dexterity and accuracy so they missed the like button by mistake

[Jackiesstash08]

Great player

[mdvo5]

its not a camel toe, its a moose knuckle for guys u f*ckn ass! lol

[hellsSG]

@mdvo5 LOOOOOL OMG !!!!! xDxDxDxD

[dugi203]

long live the 80s camel toe. You have to be a really bad ass player to be comfortable in pants that tight :). Yngwee and Steve, we dont understand you but we respect you!!!

[littlewahoo27]

you know its not often to see a man with a camel toe, but this is one of those instances. i wonder how he feels to be one of the few men to sport the ol' camel toe.

[fckinlovebeans]

legend

[jewelfewel]

looks to me when he's talking in the beginning, the exposure on the camera is changing the colors of the shot

[nedza]

@jewelfewel

Yes... problem with the white balance... but so what!?

[U2Purple]

he´s great

especially when he joined DP (purpendicular)

[Randomwhitekid]

gandolf

[gorethem]

Great lesson !!!  Steve is one of the kings in my book !!

[kdrax00]

[jasonsoloist]

Thank you for the great lesson of Morse, he is the one and only unique Steve Morse, Super Guitarist....

[hellsSG]

Shit, thats alot of bite from a neck pick-up :O

Awesome playing ofc.

[poiteee]

awesome guitarist...but even better camel toe....:-)

[GodfatherxD]

looks like he has a daaaamn big pussy^^

[belizariomagic]

great!

[joelsilfver]

he's a great guitar player and it's a good instruction video..

is it just me or doesn't he look a bit like a young zakk wylde?

[Dephfektive]

@joelsilfver Just you, you fucking hammerhead.

[joelsilfver]

@Dephfektive relax man,, nothing to get upset about,,

[racingandmusicmylife]

saw him play bout a week ago, amazing!

[nemogre]

great lesson, great player and easily likeable person....and of course the beauty of his soul comes out in his music...

[NoyzyBoyZ3]

That Ball Splitter look's like it hurt's!!

[1viva]

It looks SO easy...but in reality, so hard to play. He's one of the great! :-)

[evlblue]

what the heck was that pickup on the bridge!? what's the difference when there are three of them?

[Lordmore88]

its the middle pickup, its just closer to the bridge because the position of a pickup affects its sound.

its a single coil with low output, allowing Steve to switch to an almost clean sound just by selecting it.

[evlblue]

really? then it must have been a custom made guitar. do they mass produce this model?

[Lordmore88]

yes, its called "Steve Morse Y2D" by MusicMan.

[evlblue]

thanks for the tip, man.

[ErnieBallPlayer23]

these guitar are not mass produced, this model is a stock, there are two models, "SMY2D" & "Original".

you can also find videos of steve's clinic explaining about the pickup configuration/why there set, visit "LarryDimarzio" channel

[evlblue]

so they must be made to order?

what's the difference between original model and the smy2d?

[ErnieBallPlayer23]

the original model has the slanted pickup in the middle(HSSH) for more sounds "11 pickup combination's", the SMY2d has (HSH) and seems to be a bit brighter then the original because of its maple top.

i wouldn't say there mass produced because people do have to wait sometimes after they make a purchase from guitar centers website to receive it if its not in stock.

also the Y2d has a five way switch, the original has 2 chrome toggles and a 3 way switch.

[cassalinson]

Beauty guitar, but i prefer the John Petrucci signature

[fbirkan2]

Anyone kwows which DVD this video comes from?

[kpgpwi64]

guitar world magazine

[stratmaiden]

One of my favourite lesson, I've done the tablatures if somebody is interested.

(sorry for my bad english...)

J'adore ces phrasés, je les ai retranscris si ça intéresses quelqu'un...

[pedrobr88]

[paraglidermx]

[VicariousShred]

[yoguitarmetal]

[metalaxer13]

Thats some thight playing

[1Mrguitarman7]

what song is at 2:02

[savannahsean]

the chord progression is part of "bring it to me", which is on "major impacts"; the song is written in the style of Leslie West/Mountain.

[imadrifai]

I met him in baalbeck castle...he was so great....and he give me two picks ...I love steve morse....

[indulgethebeast]

TOTAL EARGASM!

[Rockbignole]

Great Steve!!

[Scotto2008]

Here's another tip for you aspiring guitarists: practice, pracitce, pracice, and then sell your guitar on ebay, because you'll never be the guitarist that Steve Morse is. The odds are way against you.

[wunzelpunzel]

I saw Steven Morse jammin' exactly this guitar last friday at Deep Purple live in Wiesen/Austria.

He is GREAT!!!

[ishew255]

he has great phrasing

[venganza84]

Uwielbiam tego gościa :)

[brucewbowser]

What a great picker... OK, I got to go practice, ha ha ha

[xXmalkiorXx]

god i love rock/blues

[kriony]

mto bom veio!!

[rateroloco]

Una bestia!! Aguante Steve Morse!! \m/

[Nun077]

That's simply awesome !! He's is really inspired in his solos and that makes him be a great guitarist !!

Love watching him playing too =) ! But I find strange the way how he holds his pick ^^ ...

[Ganjalf17]

Steve is a genius

[fufupower]

haha, moose knuckle

[repetitivemotion]

Every time I see lessons like this, and I've been hacking around on the guitar for 30 years, I want to take my freaking guitar out and smash it cause I can't even follow what he's trying to teach. Morse is a great player. Not as exciting to watch as Blackmore, but still a master musician. I've always loved to watch him play.

[snacksforaddicts]

intensity or density or complexity. heh. hes great improvising on guitar but i think maybe he should start scripting the speaking parts of the videos haha.

[Modes9]

As progressive as Steve is, you can always hear the love of old-school Hendrix and Blackmore in his playing.

[thegreatgarry]

hey steve

you're my fucking great teacher

:D :D :D

[Ashkeeper]

thats one massive ball splitter he's sportin there...

[vdufin]

LOL jesus christ ... I laughed for about 43 seconds after reading that

[luozz]

i wonder whether that's why he's so good. it must be the ball splitter

[plinkytx]

That would explain the fad of tight pants in 80s rock. ;D

[nickvanhalen]

whats a ball splitter?

[mullen2105]

HHAHAHAHHA!

[gigosai]

somewhere in the beginning of figure 2

[skleung]

ROFL!!!!

[snacksforaddicts]

hahahahaha you have me in tears ahahaha!!! its hard to watch this video now. camel toe is distracting hahaha.

[ComfortablyNumbed]

ROFL!!! HOLY SHIT!!

[MrBluesmanJunior]

@Ashkeeper hahahahahahahahahahah

[horacrux]

@Ashkeeper LOL

[BigAl21472]

@Ashkeeper it's male cameltosis and it's not funny, sir. cameltosis affect 9 out of 10 rock stars that cum from the 80's.

[torrid94]

@BigAl21472 why??

[theangrypixel]

@Ashkeeper - Funny as hell - but ruined it for me :-D

[Jairzinski]
