Richard Lloyd - Using Double Pull-Offs and Hammer Ons in Open Postion

[altroval]

"Those that can do, those that can't...teach"

I really am a fan of his recorded guitar work with "Television". But I had a chance to see that band perform live with Richard in the lineup a half-dozen years ago and I really was...surprised...at how sloppy Richard's playing was at the time. Maybe it was just fatigue, but I was a little disappointed

There's a difference between being 'good at it' and this guy.. all these negative comments are typical to those who don't respect musicians for who they are. This guy learned from a friend of Jimi Hendrix.. Who the hell are you?

I bet Tom Verlaine found him a right pain in the ass though

[chairmanmeow1973]

Fuck this guy. Ive been playing guitar for 25 years and people say Im good at it. I dont give a fuck about the technical aspect or what the techniques are called. This takes all the enjoyment and spontaniety out of it.

@chairmanmeow1973

Dude, this is basic stuff! After 25 years, you should know this stuff already.

I've just started playing, this is totally beyond me and I got nothing out of it, but Richard Lloyd looks like an awesome teacher, if you can deal with bi-polar, that is. Sometimes you'll get yelled at, others you'll get more ideas than you'll ever use.

[feedkillchain]

@flugplatz21 I found his lessons very useful.

[pernicketty]

I can't play a guitar at all but it used to be a dream I had. Richard Lloyd is what I would have liked to become. I just like watching him play.

I'm a "shred" guitarist who is obsessed with technique, laser precision and accuracy and scales, modes and shapes. This is all I have to say about Richard Lloyds style and all of his meanderings. FRIGGIN' AWESOME! I love his simplistic yet very visceral playing. Absolutely LOVE it!

[Xiphos893]

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

[jofussdean]

hes very animated when he plays

[neverender888]

What issue is this from?

[fuzzgalor]

that Yardbirds song Ricjhard Lloyd mentions sounds like Jeff's Boogie.
