  • Here's a summary of all Rusty Cooley videos on youtube:

    Rusty: "Here it is played slowly" ...*plays a lick*....

    We: "Okay, this is kinda cool - that's gonna sound pretty sweet at a fast tempo"

    Rusty: "Here it is at full speed" ....*deeeeeeeeeeeeerp*...

  • Is there anyone who actually learned how to play this shit?

  • WOW, that's a good workout for your first finger. lol

  • haha im taking lessons from this guys student

  • i would try and learn that, but i think i'll die before that happens! haha

  • HOLY FUCKING SHIT

  • Press 3 to make Rusty dance.

  • thank you rustey cooley, thank you

  • god damn that was sick. to bad it sounds like shit

  • @crazyboy4793 what a stupid remark

  • Wait.. what just happened..? ^^;

  • Shawn Lane!

  • @carvetop paul gilbert-superheroes

  • こんなの普通の人間がコピーできるわけねーだろ!(笑)

  • @ziggystardust414 how the hell did you type like that

  • i hate to say it but the beggining of the first backing track sounds rather comical

  • gee!! dont even imagine what those fingers do to the women!!lmao

  • Comment removed

  • LOL! SO fast HE didn't know WHAT the fuck those hands are playing!

    funny thing is, that was a 2bps lick.

  • You da man Rusty !

  • 1:20-1:30  "So, let's get to it!" o_O?wtf

  • paul gilbert could play this

  • @razorman916 so? whats your point. just becuase someone could play something doesnt mean they can play it well...

  • This annoying who ever edited this video rushed it, The camera close ups are off buy half a second its so frustrating personally for me.

  • i admire rusty simply because even if he doesn't make very good music. He has the capability to play just about ANYTHING on the guitar. and for that. i respect him as a guitar player.

  • at the end, he said, thats it for this month. hahaha it will take me years to learn this lick

  • 8 string?? 0_0

  • god thats one big neck

  • Take any guitar lick, fast forward it, and it sounds like Rusty Cooley playing.

  • what picks does rusty use?

  • the title is wrong

    it should say : rusty cooley teaching licks out of this world

  • looks like he got some inspiration from shawn lane

  • holy shit I wasn't expecting that

  • haha no it doesn't.

  • @ViktorVR hey fuck you it's called skill you wish you can play this good you faggot. go troll elsewhere.

  • @ViktorVR you just defined what Rusty is. A shredder, would you say Steve Vai only makes noise just because in most of his songs he plays "accurate and difficult things at high speed"? wrong listen to "Tender Surrender".

  • @James0543 I never mention Steve Vai. tha's complet deferent.

    Songs and licks that Vai plays are diferen to what we see and hear in this video.

    This is just NOISE.

  • @ViktorVR If it's just noise. Try to play exactly like he did in this video. EPIC FAIL. You're just gealous of Rusty's skills.

  • @NakeRtHeRoCkEr Classic answer from a hard core fan im not intrested in prove if im better player or not i never said that im a better player than him I just say he is just making noise of course im not jealous just telling the truth.

    Tis could sound amazing to you but to me and many more this is just noise nothing new and nothig to aport just a guy whit big speed making noise.

    Face it.

  • @ViktorVR To many more? Excuse me, but I see there are much more fans than haters here. You are one of thouse 2 or 3 haters 'round here. You should know you aren't welcome here if you're here just to troll on videos. You'd better leave and stop replying.

  • @NakeRtHeRoCkEr Read what i write.

    I'm no hater just see the reality.

    Like y say beafore.

    FACE IT.

  • @ViktorVR Well, I can face the fact that you have your opinion, but you have to face the fact that your opinion doesn't count here, and it's wrong (the opinion). So, live with it, you just can't apreciate a good guitarist with godlike skills.

  • @NakeRtHeRoCkEr Like i say beafore read what i say .

    I never said he does not have skill.

    My opinion is not wrong many think what i just write many don't say a word.

    but if you see the comments you will notice that the most coments say:

    Wow he melts my head or something like that but they never write about what he is playing of what he aports he does not aport anything just playing fast.

    I see better but much better things from this guy (Rusty) what he plays here is just noise.

  • @ViktorVR, anybody who's as fast as rusty cooley wouldn't ever reach that speed if he wouldn't love music more than anything else. and if you can't appreciate that love and time and struggle he put into getting that fast you're just an ignorant bastard who knows nothing of musicianship

  • MOTHERFUCKIN BEAST!!!!

  • Fuck this shit,It's too fucking hard!!! Is Rusty a normal human??

  • I do not believe he is. and Neither is Jeff Loomis.

  • this is fun to play..be sure to warm up first!

  • The guitar is a wonderful instrument. Just like any other form of art humans tend to express themselves differently. Its all in the eye of the beholder - What i prefer to listen to might differ itself greatly from your preference. No one has the right to proclaim the freedom to label a certain type of music as "tasteless" or "soulless". I like chocolate, but my friend prefers vanilla... I think you get the point

    Now shut the fuck up

  • but i like both chocolate and vanilla !?!

  • @WizeRetard

    Golfclap, you're special

  • çüş oha amk

  • ok slash and rusty cooley are way two different worlds. Rusty is a shred god, slashes solos have alot of feeling to them like in november rain, sweet child, and welcome to the jungle. Comparing these two is really extreme. Both awesome guitarist but music is only rated by oppinion, its an art, theres no such thing as the best artist in the world, only ur oppinion chooses that.

  • slash is an overrated son of a bitch. rusty cooley is a strange and awesome piece of shred lord.

  • doesnt matter if hes over rated. I agree that he is definately that hes over rated BUT again its comparing apples to oranges. a debate between slash and cooley is retarded, of course cooley wins in shred. How bout u guys have a debate between Jeff Loomis and Cooley...Jeff loomis is better in my opionion. He has a side to him like Jason becker.

  • Comment removed

  • Slash plays different music you ugly ignorant little fuck

  • bullshit, come on man, just don't try to get away with that stupid sentence: slash plays different music, so what? rusty could beat him in metal, rock, hard rock, speed metal, neo classical metal or any type of music where the guitars have the final word. slash is an overrated asshole and he has no dimensions in his playing, in different words, slash has a little musical knowledge. the world knows him because of g'n'r had many scandals and shit, not because he is an amazing guitar master.

  • So are you telling me that rusty's music(Which I personally love btw) is as appealing to the world as slashes was?

    Are you honestly trying to tell me that more of the world prefers rusty's music to slashes?

    cuz if you are, then you're bullshitting from all holes.

    Slash isnt as good as rusty because slash wasn't in the same time as rusty is, Its like saying Herman Li is more creative then Jimi Hendricks. And if dats what u are trying to say, then say it on a J.H page and see how many people argu

  • finally somebody gets the true point.

  • @soloistchris666

    rusty cooley is tecnically 100 times better than slash

  • no shit.

  • @blackseeds666 slash is way better than this guy because he as soul not just super fast playing music is way more then playing fast notes

  • AND SLASH IS 1000 TIMES richer than rusty. lol

  • that has to do nothing with them all that matters is skills and slash sucks Rusty owns him

  • @Mx0Mznk I disagree, They play different music(As i said before) you cant compare Mozart to Dragonforce, Its fucking stupid if thats what you're trying to do.

  • yeah hes richer cause hes a fucking sell out and his images and the band has got him where he is now any shred guitarist can play much better than slash im not going to lie slash is good at what he does but he is waaay too overrated because of mainstream popularity

  • mmmm not really lol Rusty gets about 10 students a day at least charging them 100 dollars an hour just for guitar lessons...and his DVD's sell quite a bit while slash's albums are mostly downloaded. not to mention guitar world articles rusty easily racks in to about 93 grand a year on a consistant basis...slash is maybey at 50 grand...so you fail you moron. slash isn't even half as popular as he used to be either

  • One word!!! Ouch!!!! That spread is not easy.

  • Comment removed

  • what are you? 12?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Not really.

    You can obviously hear the ending diminished tritones at the end of each arpeggio phrasing...

  • funny, i've never heard the term "bullshit" notes in theory before...

  • You can´t compare slash and rusty cooley, slash is not a shredder XD is not the same XD

  • you can. rusty cooley is a shred lord, slash is a twat.

  • Yea, Slash is a piss poor guitar player. Rusty Cooley is an insane player !!

  • @HIMrz6 Slash can barly even play guitar ... as for Rusty...he is god

  • @HIMrz6 they shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence

  • @HIMrz6 slash is one overrated mother fucker

  • @HIMrz6 thing is slash is a douche bag, just look at him.. Oh i wear sunglasses inside because i am so cool.. what a noob

  • holy fuck thats brutal .__.

  • i havent seen this whole vid and i thumbs up cus i know this guy is always fucken brutal man!

  • come on abuse me more i like it

  • anyone else think this lick causes arthritis?

  • but you cant make that noise

  • Ignorance.

  • Slash ....is the best guitarist of all times?

    Really? oh...this is a scoop! I don't want to be arrogant, I simply want to say...this exercise ( because is only a exercise) is the perfect copy of an older exercise of Micheal angelo Batio, and you find it in the video " speed kills"......bye.

  • haha i hope that was a joke

  • what?i guess theres a misunderstanding here i get thumbs down lol off course my comment is ironic Rusty kills slash

  • haha i knew it

  • My hands can't stretch that far.

  • There is a simple solution to train this. Put your hand on the desk, stretch your hand out and press it down for a wile. - this really works, trust me!

  • (Answer to "MishuTaste": My hands can't stretch that far. You can't train that lick this way, you need are guitar to do this, of course:-)

  • boom bang... he's hit the nail on he head!

    one simple thing that so many people dont do!

  • I love how offended people get by how fast he plays. The dude can play whatever awesomeness he feels like and if you don't like it, then your retarded for multiple reasons.

  • I think he even struggles with that lick

  • just a bit its a pretty massive stretch but he can still pull it off when he wants to.

  • fairly simple riff, too bad the speed is beyond my capabilities hahaha my god wtf is up with that speed!

  • where the hell did they go? That CD was awesome then members started disappearing... wtf guys

  • Yes it is sad, they broke up.

  • I don't know why, but the guitar (in the start of the video) looks huge compared to rusty.

  • lol, it does

  • hes a small dude

  • He doesnt look that small elsewhere...

  • WTF

  • Are you fucking gay? Fender132435 seriously...

  • No, i was talking about how the guitar looks big compared to him. Now be mature and stop abusing me for no reason.

  • fucking speed of god

  • this is insane! you can get more lessons from Cooley on Fret12. I asked him a question and got a video response!

  • If Cooley did arps like Bach (not saying I hate him) he'd blow so many minds away. On the other hand, he and Gilbert have been the best shred teachers so far.

  • on idea jede ali nejde

  • GUAAAAAAOOOO....

  • This is insane but about as boring as it gets. Why not just program random midi notes? This is the classic Rusty Cooley style. It's like Shawn Lane but with less speed and no song writting skills. I feel it's ok to bash most shred players unless it's Becker, Marty, McAlpine, Kotzen, Howe, Gilbert, Vinnie, and a lot more I'm sure I'm forgetting. I just hate that neck pickup wankery.

  • its not so hard i get it after like 20 minutes

  • extremely fast but not perfect. not that it matters. i'd rather listen to someone like di meola.

  • People have different tastes. Ali Shreds basically on an acoustic.

  • Exactly my point....I guess we agree .

  • cant even do half of the speed

  • lol did u say the fingering is not a problem?? i cant hammer and pull off on like 2/3rds speed of that

  • this is just sick! the fingering is not the problem, its the sheer speed *.*

  • This mother fucker can play what ever the fuck he wants, and he chooses to play this. It's good. But fuck.

  • jesus christ rusty cooley is insane

  • Comment removed

  • No you just suck!!!lol

  • I think it's cool if you can play that fast.. but for me this isnt music. If i hear something like this for longer than 10 minutes i will get headache.

  • jason becker has a 42 fret guitar

  • I think that exact scale pattern is used in a video game! maybe one of the zeldas. of course it's not as fast as it's played here.

  • This was origionally Shawn Lanes idea..

    he does a good job of it though

  • shawn lane brother?

  • heracy.

  • My God...get rid of that amp!

    Ampeg VH140 C

  • Now, I know its good to dream and believe in yourself.. But I will never ever be this good

  • Oh, that's easy man. You just gotta be able to stretch your fingers and keep them that way the whole time. Most peoples' problems when not figuring something out is that they only spend a few minutes trying and then give up because it seems to be too much to comprehend. Spend an entire day on it...or however long until you get it.

  • uli jon roth has a 32 fret guitar

  • holy

  • OMG!!!!!!

  • I admire anyone who puts the time in to play like that but god doesnt shred just get boring to listen to. 5 seconds of it is more than enuf for me.

  • Why would he teach if no one else on Earth is good enough to learn? :P

  • And I said "i grow tired of stupid opinions" because everytime i see a video of some guitarists, some IDIOT starts to go on about how "it's not music". Ok *this* particular lick of rusty's is not that musical, but for a fact, most of the time when someone picks on shredders it is because HE IS STUPID, AND CANNOT HEAR THE NOTES.

    Between the boom boom boom of your subwooffers and your idiotic 'modern music', YOU CAN'T HEAR NOTHING ELSE!!!

    Why on earth are you watching Cooley for? IDIOTS!!!

  • I'm watching Rusty Cooley because I enjoy shred. I also enjoy music that's not shred (imagine that).

    But to deny that what Rusty is doing is not complex is plain foolish. You are confusing speed with complexity. He's playing a repeating linear diminished pattern with no variance whatsoever.

    That doesn't make it bad. It doesn't make it good. But it's not complex.

    I can't take you seriously when you declare what is and is not music -- you're just as bad anyone who declares shred is not music.

  • There is a lot in between "two notes" (of jaws theme), or silly hiphop "talk" (that's not music), or 'house' (that's not music either, just computer beeps) and real music. I never said "shredders rule", you idiot!

    I just said that simple music is for simple people who have no idea what real music is. And if you have a problem with that then you're just one of the idiots.

    Here I was initially, learning this lick.. and I see some idiot complaining about the "shredders are too fast issue";

  • his legato is that of yngwie!

  • Rusty's music is devoid of fluid dynamic contrast, is metrically simple, and frankly, most of the rhythm guitar parts are harmonically unadventurous. The only "complicated" aspect is the lead playing, and again, even that is rhythmically simple ("fast" does not mean "complicated").

    You surely don't think Outworld is "uncomplicated and stupid"?

    Do you see how myopic your comments are? Rusty is a great player. But to say (apparently) simple music is bad and stupid is flat-out STUPID!

  • thats just his opionin

    there is such a thing called "over played"

    and which imo he kinda dose then again its aimed at Guitarist so yeah

    but as a musician i can seem to get a kick out of his music its to predictable

    but he is one hell of a player

  • WithExtremePrejudice, you are devoid of a brain of fluid consistency, are metrically an idiot, and frankly, are complete idiotounventurous. The only reason I am posting here is to have a kick, and that is because I am childish.

    Go listen to Britney Spears or 50 cent or whatever, idiot!!

  • The point of my comment was clearly in defense of supposedly simple music. I was not saying that simple music is bad and complex music is good (or vice versa). My example was obviously an absurdist example.

    Clearly, reading comprehension is not your strong suit, but perhaps next time you feel compelled to call somebody an idiot, it would be in your best interest to make sure that person is not actually agreeing with what you have to say, or just keep your mouth shut altogether.

    Cheers.

  • I love Cooley.Check also Turbulence weakest link to see a 18 yrs old guy shredding the shit out of him too.

    Shredders are high!

  • electric balls on the twelth fret with lesbians shit and piss all over the place. Ya you like that don't you bitch nugget.

  • electric balls on the twelth fret with lesbians shit and piss all over the place. Ya you like that don't you bitch nugget.

    ok, look, type this in the comment box and press audio preview...OMG!

  • Press Turbulence weakest link and see my first video shredders!18 yrs old!

  • Then you've got ADD dude, shredding will never get boring, so go fuck your nigger friends jackass. It probably only gets boring to you because you fucking suck at it. Tons of fucking technique out there to learn. So unless you've learned all the scales and every peice of music out there, then you can't say shredding will get boring. Dude, you're one of those dumb fucks that say they're in a band when come to find out, you're playing some fucking emo shit. YOU'RE AN EMO PEICE OF SHIT.

  • music isn't always about having the best technique. don't be brash.

  • If you don't have technique in guitar playing, you can't make music. There is always technique when playing music on a guitar. DUH!

  • ... i didn't say "you don't need technique," i said it wasn't necessary to have the best to make the best music. i mean, rusty cooley and steve vai can shred but do i really give a shit? :/ some of the best music is the most simple.

  • Dude...Have you ever learnt a Pat Metheny song?

  • If you're replying to me. This discussion was done over 3 weeks ago. I really don't care to know who that is or to even learn one of his songs. And what the fuck is learnt? Some redneck term?

  • Then don't listen to it at all. You think people do chops builders 12 hours a day for people like you? So fuck you dude, go listen to your rap. Maybe that will satisfy your simple mind.

  • No, music is about shredding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!! There's nothing better than going 4 billion notes per second. Fuck the melody, it's all about the shredding!

  • fuck you cuz fretbuzz1 was right !! yes we all like shredding but we will eventually get bored of listening to it all the time

  • i dnt.

  • Shredding is like football, it's only boring if you watch the shit, but if you're playing it, it will never get boring. Go listen to your rap puss boy.

  • 1st of all i hate rap music and second of all i shred pretty much all the time cuz i am always with my band and it does get boring sometimes so why dont you go pimp yo mamms ass homie

  • No, it's crap

  • haha so true
