[shabanshau]

lmao damian666 got owned! curious coincidence was an exotic mix of eloquent melodies. so complex and pleasuring to my ear canal. it was like listening to very sexy chick with a voice of an angel talk to me about soccer, then proceeding to .....lets not get into it (hey its my version of heaven!)

[5300Happiness]

Hey Kristofer. I got a question. Why are you play on a Fender? - I think that a Gibson Les Paul, is a little more 'rock n' roll' :)

[Siiafu]

@damian666 lol you got dominated

[TheAmazingScotsman]

IF I MAY SAY SO.. rofl wtf.

[MetalInstrumentals]

how can i use my single coil bridge pick up without any buzz or noise???

[gamvidys]

Thank you, very informative. I like it,very funny How do you make it look so easy?

[ACGuns69]

DAAAMMN,ur a good teacher and ur funny aswell

[RyuBlade1980]

You're a great guy! ^^ 

[cultofpersonality123]

@BecauseIgothigh143 no but if your hand is too small and your having trouble reaching then you should try to use ur pinky.

[FenderrMann]

on your first answer, his fret couldve been popping out of the guitar.

[itowedin]

At first I thought he said the whole "problem" with the internet is that you can interact.

[itowedin]

Your advice is heresey in that Swedish people are biologically dispositioned to have poor pinky strength. In fact, it has been proven that Swedish peoplewill follow the evolutionary pattern to eliminate the pinky faster than the rest of the world. Your playing is justification of this in that you're not using it. What else would a Swedish person use their pinky for?

[matthijs97]

6:35 lol iron maiden =)

[matthijs97]

can you do a james hetfield lesson?

[lean99zz]

So your swedish? Du talar mitt sprak? Haha I don't know what that means but a swedish girl said it to me ;P

[snowboardboy13]

how many guitar do you own kris ?

[Evolveweb]

Don't know if it's been raised already...BUT the 1st question about the note dropping out on a bend is not entirely accurate (sorry Kristofer). If your guitar is not setup properly and your fret levels are out or there is a bad bend in the neck the notes will not fret properly and drop out. so it is NOT all about technique problems.

[wolfspray007]

HAHA Jag köper också tröjor på H&M ;)

[jdjones1995]

Hey Kris of that Damian666 hates you sooooo much why does he watch the vids and email you??? BI-POLAR

[lathandien]

american women would fall for you in 5 seconds. you play guitar, you're good looking, AND you have a kick ass accent. i'm jealous.

[koshiaru]

Ha Ha. He reads damien666's comment so we will flame him and he doesn't have to.

[Burillium38]

ON the video things to play when you suck what distortion are you using?

[jizm5150]

Thanks dude, your videos are the best at entertaining me/helping me practise harder and harder to become the best I can on guitar! Sometimes you just need that extra 'kick to go to the next step! Very impressed at musical talent and accuracy of knowledge. Great work!

[D119heavy]

hahaha great vid man, you're a funny dude plus a sick player

thanks for dropping all this knowledge on us

[tidusxaderkanx]

lol Number of the Beast!

[iSometimesWriteMusic]

Åhfan, Stockholm! JAG MED! Om jag någonsin ser dig tänker jag slå dig på stjärten. No reason.

Nej men seriöst, sköna videor, roliga och informativa helt enkelt.

[CletusColtrane]

What a doofus......get over yourself

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

In response to the first question it actually could be your guitar..I have seen that a few times. If you are bending fine on the other frets on that string and only having issues on that specific area then it probably is your guitar.

[jizm5150]

@MetalguitarlessonsUK What's the difference between technique and blaming the instrument? If it's your guitar i'm sure there are 24x6 other frets minus that ONE fret to practice and actually DO the lick and learn instead of sitting around complaining about it.

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

@jizm5150 sorry what? Is that in response to me? Reread my comment as it makes no sense in response to that..I was pointing out that sometimes yes an individual fret can be screwed, the way to tell is if you are bending fine on all of them but one particular fret then it probably is the guitar.How is that sitting around and complaining?! I was trying to help someone out, why such an agressive and pointless response? Check out the stuff on my profile and then tell me that I dont practice enough.

[ChrissyChiChi]

@jizm5150 Lol why on earth would you post such a bastardly comment in response to someone answering a dudes question? He was correct too, are you disputing that it is possible for one fret to go haywire and make bending on it impossible? Are you disputing that the best way to check that is to see if you are bending fine on the other frets? Jesus, the anonymity of the internet does funny things to some people turning them into agressive twats over ridiculous things.

[ChrissyChiChi]

@jizm5150 Furthermore listen to the playing on his profile, does that sound like someone who just complains about his instrument instead of practicing hard? (shakes head sadly) Did insulting someone and their playing on the internet make you feel big and more secure about yourself?

[cbond99]

You shold also tell GTB24 that he could need a fret leveling on his neck.

[rhino12101996]

i need to do that on my guitar

[ZeroOZeroO]

This guy is good, but he should teach by saying the notes instead of tabs because tabs are terible for learning.

[Genobot]

tabs... are more different i think. Faster to learn guitar, yes. you cannot read the sheet music, but some people like it more, i learned to play threw tabs, but i really do wish ilearned the notes first. but tabs are not really a "bad" way persay, its just quicker.

[ZeroOZeroO]

but when you learn from tabs you dont understand wat your playing, in sheet music you underestand the key signatures, wat key your playing in and you understand why they play the certain notes, but with tabs you just play them and you have no idea what your playing so eventually you wont be able to improvise... imo =D

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

Zero if you know your theory you can figure most of this out by yourself from looking at tabs without having it handed to you on a plate, I actually think it is better because you have to figure it out yourself, it gets the brain going and gets you used to quickly identifying the key you are in without being told. Makes soloing far easier further down the line.

[Strummify]

Zero i think this guy's youtube lessons are for quick learning and people who are starting to picck up guitar who usually lack music theory so tabs would at least give them something to play. And im sure he teaches notes to his own students.

Peace

[ishredinmysleep]

no they arent

[ShadowOfLight3000]

Ze Yanitor :D

[Luxorcist]

Kris i think i have some trouble with my practicing techniques. at times it feels like im not getting anywhere with my playing. is this normal?

[gduke25]

no dude. practice longer with a metronome and you'll get somewhere. 3 hours a day is good.

[cynicaldemon]

lol'd. Love the phrasing of the question

[meaningintragedy01]

Thats how I feel lol

[JoeW08]

It's a great song and your sun glasses are cool! That dude is just jealous that he doesn't have some kick ass glasses n shirts like you do! Haha.

[rangaryan]

I have a question: Why don't you have an accent like Skwisgaar Skwigelf?

[DarthMink]

Because they are both Swedish.

[DarthMink]

Oh, you said "don't" I thought you said, "do" He does have the same accent though, his English is just a lot better than Skwisgaar's, lol.

[Wrathorn]

Kris, you're a great teacher you teach things from the basic level which seems that no one does.

I think that some guitars that are not set up well will fret out. When the guitar was "set up" it no longer fret out. So I do believe theres 2 things to troubleshoot.

A. The Player

B. The guitar.

Anyways, this video was excellent as all of your videos!

[ghostseeker1]

great sport, your my hero Kris

[GuitarPro5Dude]

men om du bor i stockholm vart spelar du då in dom här filmerna?

[Imagymnast114]

those awesome shirts lolz

[simrie]

even when he read out the letter that wasnt nice he said i bet your a nice guy

KRIS IS SUCH A NICE GUY!

your awsome

[fckugler]

what he said at 8:20?

[jafomatic]

"If I may say so"

[dexidous]

"if I may say so"

[Radion79]

wtf  8:20

[WrathOscuro]

It'd be cool if you did like a "lick of the week" type thing. Because each lick you have taught in your vids, I still apply to my playing. Good vids man!

[RubenmannenxD]

You rock too much ;O

[HisbelFTW]

u made me piss my pants at 8:20

[GuitarForALiving]

Hi Kris...love the lesson, they've really helped me out. I just wanted to know what type of strat is that and what are the pickups...because you get such a sweet tone when you where playing the Steve Vai solo. Thanks!

[KristoferDahl]

Thanks! It's a fender american deluxe - with stock pickups! (don't remember their names)

[gugmi01]

hey ive been playing guitar for a while and am just starting to learn to solo. I dont/ cant play solos with my pinky. is that a problem?

[lookalotlikeme]

If you use one finger less then EVERYBODY else playing solos; what do you think?

If your just lazy, then get a grip and practise!

If it's for medical reasons, then (as you should have already noticed sine you use your pinky alot when just doin chords to) you should probobly come to terms with the fact that some things will always be harder for you. But I bet there's still a bunch of things you can play if you'r determined, inventive, and practise.

[KristoferDahl]

Well you can certainly become a very fulfilled soloist without using your pinky.

However you see some of your favorite guitarists using their pinky - and you know you want to be able to play similar stuff, well...you are making it unnecessary hard for yourself!

[xnoheartx]

dude tony Iommi was missing two fingers, listen to the solo on "N.i.b." he didn't let it affect him.

[NowaqP]

On the other hand, there's Paul Gilbert using all of his fingers!

[amebchen]

On the other hand, Paul Gilbert sucks :P

[xiozthunderplums]

FAIL

[amebchen]

"Fail" what? :|

[xiozthunderplums]

How in the world does Paul Gilbert suck

[3dpaper]

he was just missing the tips of his index and ring finger, he just put some rubber tips on them

[Epiphonefan]

H&M FTW We got loads of em too

[ChucklesMginty]

Hey Kris, I love all your videos they been an excellent help! But as I've gotten more into songwriting I often have trouble writing my own solos, do you have any tips on phrasing?

[yllsacky]

yhhee buckethead lesson like finger nubbing thanx tja jag är oxå svensk!

[renzolikescheez]

keep your bad mother finger to yourself. lol

[YoungGuitaristt]

Hey! Grats man! haha :D you rock

Gmc for ever

[mitsurugi009]

hey cool vids!! (funny too XD) can u do a chromatic lesson or an ala-Marty Friedman lesson? ty ^_^

[mitsurugi009]

if ur bored, can u make a Buckethead lesson (whoa!)? *heheheh*

[ec93leo]

Are you like "The" Chuck Norris on guitar videos??

[KristoferDahl]

I don't know ... Do you think so?! :D

[SLASHISAWHORE]

You're like the coolest man alive dude! LOL damian666 can blow a canddle!

[cjhoubre]

mr. kristofer.

you, sir, are the man!

:D

[the4445]

agreed

[Smokon]

Great answer to Demon man! :-D Well done with the whole video! :-)

[jazgara]

nice to see youve posted again kris. i have this problem with my guitar, i think the truss rod is stuck, im trying to adjust the action on my 2 month old guitar. any ideas? can you also please please do a lesson on sweep picking. thanks. Godbless

[KristoferDahl]

Thanks Jazgara, unfortunately I can't help you as I have never dared adjusting the truss rod myself...so the only advice I can give is to take it to a professional.

Regarding sweeping - yes it would be a really cool topic, I should do one! (I just need to practice it a liiitle more)

[whaththeeee]

HEY HEY HEY THAT CRAZY ASS NIGGAS BACK

[ki0ny]

H&M is nice and not too expensive indeed :D Nice

[KristoferDahl]

Couldn't agree more! :D

[khudayer]

it can also be his guitar. had the same problem, and it's fret buzz

[Sickhead30000]

ur sun glasses rock! :D

[BillyKidmann]

till H&M! :P

[112358miau]

But, why scalloping? It's easier to play, to bend? Great vids Kristofer

[KristoferDahl]

Thanks Miau!

Scalloping has the same effect as reeeally high frets. It makes it easier to get a very strong hammer-on notes (and thereby improves the tone of my speed runs) - because your left hand finger isn't "stopped" by the fretboard when hammering.

Also - scalloping allows for friction free bending!

[vakama28]

ho to prevent ur guitar strings from rusting???

[KristoferDahl]

You can wipe them with a cloth after your practice session!

[SMart7751]

Your strings should be changed every 6 to 8 weeks. Even more often if you're using .008 or .007s. After that, they're dead, the harmonics are gone. Also, wipe your instrument down after use.

[koldproxy]

kris, what's your favorite guitar of all time?

[KristoferDahl]

Since I scalloped my strat (the one in this video) I can easily say it's my favorite guitar.

It has fantastic dynamics and sound + excellent playability with the scalloping.

The guitar is a Fender american deluxe.

[SnowyOwl1959]

erm....Awesome shirts!.WTF!..goodbye!

[jayzakk72]

Awesome Video as always Kris.

Thanks fore being so entertaining and informative.

[KristoferDahl]

Hehe thanks guys, yes the Damien part at 6:30 is a lot of fun! :D

[nik11411]

the reply to damien couldnt have been better

[cyanide533]

lol the damien666 part was hilarious

[salvadordali66]

The problem with GTB24 is more likely the guitar actually... I had the excact same problem. It was a combination of high gauge strings and too low of a bridge. The notes just died. I raised the bridge a bit and got lower gauge strings (.9) and the problem was fixed.

[SnowyOwl1959]

yep spot on!!...that's so obviously the problem!

[Anik04]

hehe..you are great kris :D

[elemoll]

you're funny dute!

[samdubusc]

Hahaha, Damian666 got owned SO hard! You're awesome, Kris.

[millionmilesawayy]

what pentatonic scale was that at 5:29

[KristoferDahl]

F# pentatonic I believe!

[millionmilesawayy]

thanks i knew it was close to E bc it sounded country...

btw what kind of practices could i do to improve my tremolo picking?

[AppleAssassin]

Hey kris can you check out my video which Im playing for my school and tell me if its good enough...theres a couple of mistakes but Nothing practising wont fix...the video is called download :)

thanks in advance
