How To Play - Stash - A Picture of Nectar - Phish

[lalrsrbf]

Nice playing there, only wondering what you are doing when the singing comes in, that's like, sloppy. Almost as if you don't care...

[rplaughl]

@lalrsrbf Trey doesn't really do much during that section; it's mostly piano. I could have been better though.

[bonkers54]

Schecter C-1 E/A? I could tell from the thumbnail. I have the same one :)

[jdwrx01]

@bonkers54 Thats a schecter CSH-1 semi hollow that schecter unfortunately discontinued. I have the same model in the red finish, its been my #1 for years. And awesome playin in this vid, this tune is a task, well played.

[PetersJunta]

why is this entitled "how to play"

[mbglosser]

this is definitely no instructional video... lol .. but you're awesome nevertheless

[ohkfilms]

god, im just gonna kill myself now. how is that possible. i cant make my fingers move like that on cue to the beat into the right friggin frets and pluck the right stings bend the notes not let it drag ttooooooo muchhh!!! i need to get a full time guitar teacher 10 hours/day 5 days week. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!­!!

[ElliottDay88]

i agree with rudran u should make an in depth like 2 part lesson on stash cus i can play the first half of the song relatively well but i want to learn to play through the whole song with fluidity like that and i cant find a tab that plays it this same way please please make another video, by the way i followed phish for the spring and summer tour of 2009 and have loved them for years, anyone that says phish isnt good have clearly not done their homework, or just dont understand the music.

[MrBimpsta]

someone please tell me what kind of guitar this is

[MrBimpsta]

what kind of guitar is that you are using?

[rudran7891]

Please take one riff at a time and then play that slowly a few times. That way, guitar noobs like me can learn to play Phish :)

[rplaughl]

@rudran7891 I may do that, although, it takes quite a while to do that, but since this video has so many views, I might as well. Look for it in the next couple weeks.

[ProudSkamerican94]

that was amazing. and yeah the tabs on the internet for this are all bullshit thanks for the post

[gregalabama]

man the tabs i find for this song are pure junk. can you be so kind to tab out from 1:12 - 1:18 just that little run down? then i have this song (intro at least).

[gregalabama]

you should have extended this video by 8 seconds

[vatopself]

Great vid man! Do you know what scales Trey normally uses? Cause I've been practicing my scales a lot and I'm kinda stuck. If I could learn to play like anyone, I think it would be Trey or Derek Trucks. I just love their styles. Any tips would help bro. thanx.

[rplaughl]

@vatopself Basically, you can play with the F major scale which is the same as the D minor scale. If you imagine you are in D minor then you add the augmented seventh note to add tension for when you finally play the tonic. Trey never plays in just one scale because he has such a good understanding of interval relationships, but he does often start in one scale until something moves him to add notes and effectively change scales and key. Start in D minor (which is the F Major scale). Good Luck

[gregalabama]

well done.  i used to know how to play this song, but i have forgotten. perhaps tonight I will re-learn it

[NR2112]

crazy fingers!!! LOVE IT!!!good job and thanks for the vid

[destructovision]

thanks a billion for the video!

[DanKreiger]

more people need to read your video description and watch your video. people think of the scene and not the music.

those "hip" folks who hate on phish, they aren't even listening...however, phish is timeless. haters will change their minds with the passing of time

check the beatles - they were one of the first real "boy bands" - and who hates the beatles?

ok enough said - good music is good music.

[thawaginator]

THAT WAS FUCKING SICK RPLAUGHL

[leifjohnsenvt]

You are a sick sick monster!!!

[bigsmedly]

nice

[ipnorospo]

Hey.... nice job! Are you playing over a backing track? if yes please, let me know where did you find it....I can't find it!!!

[rplaughl]

@ipnorospo I just used the original track from A Picture of Nectar, I just didn't make too many mistakes so you couldn't tell mine from Trey's.

[leifjohnsenvt]

You are the effen man. Period.

[McDonoughKW]

I just want to say thank you. This video helped me nail Stash. Thanks again!

[rplaughl]

@McDonoughKW Cool man, glad to hear it. Have you posted the video yet? I would love to see it.

[voodootarts]

i can do the intro only hahaha

[Jimihendrix801]

I love playing this song! even more fun is you enjoy myself. Its like candy for your fingers

[jw89]

can somebody who knows how to play this song write out the part just before the diminished run up the neck in standard notation? I can't get the timing down with the notes and tabs just dont do the trick.

[petercriss45]

very, very nice

[Druss1586]

Well done sir, I'll stop picking this out by ear now.

[lilFlysurfer]

that was awsome man, that a rad guitar too!

[mattier3030]

schecter c1-semi hollow. i play the ibanez artcores fwd60 and fwd82lt and a schecter terry corso. if you want to talk shop i sell quality guitars and parts cheap.-ebay mostly but i venture out . nice cover i just learned "first tube" love it.

[popomczowzow]

I can barely hear your guitar, but great cover/lesson

[Jamiesjammin1]

i play parts of this but have never been able to make it sound right. so i am thoroughly impressed with your playing. and yes, phish is the bomb. i go way back with them. i am 35 now and i went to my first phish show at 17. it is a blessing to still have them together-after what we thought was the end. and yes, their music is underappreciated by some, but true musicians all respect them. even if they don't care for their music, a musician can listen and say "dude...that was something special."

[mattier3030]

@Jamiesjammin1 yeah right thats why you posted and learned stash...no i think you wish you were trey, and you aren't even playing. i learned stash in 1 night. shits cake.....

[Coomy394]

awsome playing as well as guitar, what kind is that?

[ev01gt]

haha agree on your discription and i just learned tweezer and its an easy one but fun as hell to play . . . and this song must be so hard to play and you know all of it haha

[phunkybiotch]

sick. great playing.

[benchwarmer969]

Go Phish, man.

[RustyCyler]

that was really cool. 5 stars, great playin

[johnnyBird512]

dude, awesome! this will help me a lot thanks

[typewriter666]

Got the same guitar, shecter c1 e/a, nice man, did you change the pickups ?

[mattier3030]

i play the ibanez fwd60 and awd82lt both semi hollow

[shibby4lyf420]

i love you

[zeem0ney]

that is almost as good as this kid i know named gene kim. he is the third best guitarist in the world... known fact

[KeithW125]

best guitarist is matter of perspective

[CarrotCock]

nicely done

[ShawnyMartin]

thumbs up just beacuse of your name

[fnghhhh]

wow man you nailed it

[tahoeclimber]

Killing it! Awesome!

[WayinTruth]

I can't hear your guitar. Turn down the volume of the actual song so we can hear you play...

[ph0zz]

Beautifully played, but just for your information this is not how Trey plays it. When playing the main theme, his hand is between frets 9-12 (with the occasional sterath to 8 or 13) rather than 12-15 as you play (the tabs are wrong, too). Look at a video of him playing, you'll see what I mean. Cheers.

[ph0zz]

*stretch, woops...

[SoundGardenX]

I yanked on my tunic and dangled my stash!!!

[soloshred7]

That's one of my favorite songs.

[supguys4]

what kind of guitar is that? a schecter?

[rplaughl]

Schecter, Diamond Series, C-1 E/A. It is actually my roommate's. I have a Michael Kelley, it plays nice.

[achmood21]

you are very good

[XSandXGeninX]

I'm horribly sorry to break what I'm sure is a little kid pretending he knows about music... but Limeduck08, the guitarist makes the guitar make music, not the other way around. The guitar makes no sound except through a person playing it. So that whole, he's only good because his guitar is worth $10,000, makes as much sense as me saying You're clearly a music major and got your degree in human/guitar interactions. Learn about the present subject before you post something that stupid, fucker.

[formupjohn]

Doesnt matter how much a guitar costs, if you cant play it you cant play it. And Trey is one of the best of all time.

[hendrixrocks4]

jesus christ man, your guitar gets amazing sound for treys shit! and i agree with you Phish were amazing musical performers!

[pigglywigglyman]

you'rea retard first off his guitar is handmade guitar its called a languedoc. and thats not why trey is good he is way under rated he sheds fuckin balls listen to any of their live shows you fucking pice of trash. go listen to AC/DC, they're a band with no tallent. you're a bitch.

p.s trey also has a degree in music. fuck you.

[limeduck08]

Trey is one of the best. I like Phish. He does not have a degree in music, he was a philosophy student and never earned a degree. U believe everything u hear at a concert brah?

[enicolino]

dude - if your gonna talk shit, you need to know your shit - he did get a degree from goddard in composition . . .if you don't know what yer talking about get the fuck off this video .. .why do people like you hang around videos for bands you want to talk shit about?? get a life man

[GuhYeahRight]

how is trey only good bc of his guitar... wtf, first off it's not the only guitar he plays, look at tracking he plays a GIBSON SG so stfu kid learn about phish

[jammin6491]

i agree with what is written in the song info. phish was in my mind one of if not the greatest jam band of all time and they deserve the utmost respect for the way they revolutionized music. i really appreciate this video. keep it up man you have an innate ability that i would saw my leg off for.

[ZEPPS85]

i have that guitar, love it..they discontinued it!

[johnm14]

What kind of axe is this, man?

[cyanical]

well played!

[cyanical]

ffffff

[jooce431]

i like that my guitar has made a youtube appearence. however, you used it without my permission so i am suing you. enjoy the subpena you will be getting shortly, roommate...

[24050116]

cant you tab it cause the ones on guitar tabs suck

[stashproductions]

IM AM SUING U U STOLE MY NAME!!!

[limeduck08]

So, I wish you would have actually PLAYED this. Nobody gets the verse right and I've yet to see anyone play the solo properly...NEXT

[enicolino]

yo man, I myself am a professional guitar player in Florida, and am a huge phish fan and have learned and play over 50 of their tunes (most of teh complicated fugues and such), but your comment about the solo is pretty ridiculous . . .Trey never played the 'solo' the same, they improv'd every night, so for someone to learn the studio solo version would be pretty lame - learning to improv in the solo section is what its all about. Anyway, just had to throw my 2 cents in . . .

[enicolino]

By the way, my comment was for 'limeduck08'. Am thinking of creating videos showing how to play songs such as stash, fluffs (the whole thing), reba, etc, etc . . . if anyone is really interested reply and I'll check back with you . .

[limeduck08]

Right, but since you're a proffesional your two cents are worth like $200,000

get fucked

[enicolino]

yeah, ohay dude . . . respond when your balls drop, kid

[hailtube]

omg you are so cool- thanks for teaching me "how to play stash"!

[johnm14]

Why is this a response to my video? are you trying to say I don't know how to play stash? I know there are a few minor errors but that was like a year ago and they have all been fixed.

[rplaughl]

First, this is a response because it is the same song, and it is, like I said before, a close up on what you have already done. Second, it is obvious you know how to play Stash, congratulations. Third, you are a fanatic, and you need stop worrying about how well you compare to others, because thats a pretty superficial mindset. It's just youtube.

[johnm14]

I'm sorry. I was whack. I'm not a fanatic I only have like 4 videos. It's just that right off the get go, a video responding to me playing stash entitled "How To Play Stash" seemed like an attack. But I was totally wrong to think that and I didn't read the description before I commented. I though you posted it because you thought I was playing it wrong.

[rplaughl]

I understand where your coming from. Sorry, if I sounded like a bastard.

[johnm14]

No worries man.

[zeem0ney]

phish is not nearly as good as gene kim at music.

[zeem0ney]

that was a joke

[bjlaughl]

so i look up kanye west and 50 cent rapping about cows on a beach and this is what i get?
