Alexi is probly thinking...well before you sweep, fix that thing you call "tone" next, learn how to pick the guitar,and after that learn how to put your finger on the fretboard, next learn basic skills, they after those 20 years it took you to get tha far call me and we can start on a 3 string sweep...maybe
guy: i can basically play a bit of 3 string sweeping, but still not that good at that. -plays horribly- thats about the extent of how good i am at that.
Wow that guy's tone is horrible and he sucks, I am sure there are many people out there who would have appreciated a lesson with Alexi much more than this dude.
That guy is such a retard. If I was that close to Alexi and even get a guitar lesson from him, I think I would totally freeze and shake and all. This like standing next to God man!
the first time i tried to sweep, at age 13, i was better than this guy. He fucking sucks. I wonder how alexi decided not to smash him over the head with his own guitar...
@ciadude2 where is that? id like to see that. cause its true.... but i just thought he could never bring himself to say that. wow i got new respect for kirk.
Why is it NEVER a pretty good or excellent guitarist who gets advice from accomplished players? Even if this kid learned how to sweep pick he's not going to to be able to do anything with it, it doesn't even look or sound like he can compose his own thirty second riff! What the hell if sweeping going to do besides annoy his parents when he practices in his room?! Some loser with the most annoying voice in the world and looks like he wants to be in Avenged Sevenfold jams with Alexi. Awesome.
@ichverdamischt : Really. I have the right to tell my thoughts mate, even about the guitar skills of this guy... Sure, when you learn to play the guitar you may want to start by the flashy technics but it's a mistake, I know what I'm talking about.
I know.. but look - if you had won a guitar lesson with Alexi Laiho would you say no, only because you are not so good? I would be so happy, so I wouldn't give a damn about learning other things first. Sure its better to concentrate on basic stuff first, but he had the chance of his life and he used it, so i don't think it is nice to post all of this stuff under a video the guy is probably looking up himself. Know what I mean?
yeah this guy is havin a tough time sweeping, he probably has never done it before this lesson. we were all there at some point when learning. nobody learned to sweep like alexi the first time. yall quit being dicks to this guy. if i got the chance to play with alexi id be a wreck and to have a fucking camera in my face the whole time wouldnt help me play any better either so take it easy on this guy
@RequiemForMyReverie hahahaha ive done tht too much infront of too many ppl the first few months playing. i went to a friends party and they asked me how i was doing and i said not bad so they threw an acoustic at me and said play a song..... i failed miserably haha
i really like alexi laiho's guitars the others guy guitar sounds like shit which is why the other guy is annoying.alexi also looked annoyed when they played are you dead yet when the guy kept playing instead of listenign to alexi.
make sure to mute the strings after each time you pick them. it's complicated so i don't blame the guy for asking tips. it always leaves me in awe when i see somebody like rusty cooley do godly sweeps like he does. btw make sure you have a comfortable guitar. if you have a guitar too thin, or too fat it will be extremely frustrating to sweep. try starting on a nylon string because there is no unwanted feedback and it makes it easier. i still need to practice, but these are some helpful tips.
@Fluffypopcicle Also i would pratice on higher gage strings with electric. Built up the tech then move down to lower gages and it will feel easyer. Same thing with chords.
This guy really shouldnt be trying to sweep at his level... It is one of the hardest techniques to master and if you arent an advanced player, there really is no point.... It requires experience, knowledge and skill to pull off... Took me a full year of constant practice to get it down...
@maggotshznit74 ikr its like right when the dude started playin alexi was thinkin "by god has this kid ever picked up a guitar before?" some one who has SOME talent with playing bodom songs deserbes it
you don't have to sweep to be good, Joe Satriani doesn't sweep much at all. And Dave Mustaine plays guitar parts that should be sweeped but uses alternate picking.
I'd Be like "Fuck that I am so fucking excited i can't play anything, Play ALL the solos for me!!!"
