FPE-TV Guitarist Justin Derrico Guitar Lesson

[stratcries]

He is the guitarist for the show, "The Voice." He said when the show first started they had to learn 110 songs in ten days. He is an outstanding guitar player.

[seventeve]

My 5 fav guitarists right now, in order: 1. Justin Derrico (sweetest phrasing/killer chops) 2. Jason Hook (chops & phrasing from hell) 3. Emil Werstler (sickest metal shredder) 4. Michael Romeo ( the only neo-classical shredder who still keeps my interest) 5.Doug Aldridge ( really great balls-out rock guitarist) ...IMHO.

[poluhm]

I think that Yngwie Malmsteen, Richie Kotzen and Zakk Wylde are his influences!

[aleciamoore876]

he's speaking Russian to me

[sonicslaughter]

Very good, but he should stop calling 4-note chords triads...

[bekos]

@sonicslaughter a triad is : T / 3 (-) or 2 or 4/ 5 . If he only plays those 3 notes and even if he repeats those notes in one arpeggio , it remains a triad .

[sonicslaughter]

@bekos I meant 4-note chords as in chords containing some kind of seventh, i.e. 1-3-5-7, etc. That's what I thought I was hearing, and I thought he was stating a "triad" for each one of those. I don't really remember though, so I'll listen again more closely.

[niptodstan]

He doesn't use a Standard. It's a Les Paul axcess. He's an amazing player bone of the best out there. Slash isn't fit to lick his boots.

[Neroammy]

@niptodstan the guitar in this particular video is a pre-chambering les paul standard USA in desert burst. he told that in another video. In fact he uses a Axcess, too, but that's for some coversongs in Pink's Setlist and not for major stuff.

[pkarpiozo]

string gauge?

[owlsrfun47]

my new favorite guitarist, I really like this kid (I'm 40, they're all kids at this point)!! Great chops, tone, feel, and attitude, I wish him the best

[bellers]

@owlsrfun47 u should see his solo in pinks cover of "babe im gonna leave you"! wowww

[owlsrfun47]

@bellers I saw it, it's awesome, thank you

[JAAmusic2010]

nice, and AMAZING tone!

[psofoss]

i think in 2:21 means d minor instead of e!?!? etc for the rest?

[bnapoleonc123]

@psofoss no, its an Em7 chord, D B G E D are the notes, he is starting from the b7 as opposed to the 1 of the chord as he sweeps it

[kennethmusic1]

eargasm on his tone! :O

[dudeofmuchrock]

i wish i knew what he was talking about...wow

[TheMetalFloyd666]

makes me think of slash, tone and style, he is good, not slash but amazing

[rocker100991]

@TheMetalFloyd666 he's better than slash at least in terms of playing he is faster, has better technique and he went to collage for music so he knows way more than slash about music and he could out play him anyday he has great tone 2 howeer slash is just a simple blues and rock player but it alwys seems like every note played by slash is a gift from god idk why but slash is an amazing player/writer but justin is a better player

[sregnathan]

very good

[sregnathan]

you should thank effects ...with effects playing is easy..play acoustic guitar and prove yourself

[bnapoleonc123]

@sregnathan there is not alot of effects in this vid, overdriven yeah but still pretty clean most of the time and some delay ( a common effect for many acoustic players I might add). While I agree with you in general, I don't think that comment was really applicable here, the dude has some serious chops, and there is vid of him doing some nylon string stuff too you might like to check out. Playing acoustic guitar doesn't make you a great player, thats just practice!!!

[sregnathan]

@bnapoleonc123 agreed I was mentioning that effects give easiness in playing ..ok... thank you ...regards

[bnapoleonc123]

@sregnathan sorry I misunderstood your comment, I can the point you wanted to make now, my apologies if I came across as biting your head off, all the best!

[sregnathan]

you should thank effects ...with effects playing is easy..play accoustic guitar and prove yourself

[acleansweep]

@sregnathan Electric guitar is a whole other type of instrument, not just an 'easier' version of an acoustic guitar. The effects are just a part of getting a rock tone. Anyway, he's just demonstrating some cool sounding ideas, not trying to impress a youtube peon such as you.

[bingefeller]

Tab for the arpeggio thing:

You'll probably have to copy it then retype it to make it work!!!

[openmind1984]

great playin as always.... love this guy but anyway, anybody know what guitar is he using in this video ? ... is that a normal les pual standard ? ... a standard plus ? .... custom ? .... mmmm he use a axcess too with floyd but it´s not this one...

[Neroammy]

@openmind1984 It's a Les Paul Standard from the time before they made the "2008 Standards". The Finish is "Desert Burst".

[openmind1984]

@Neroammy nice, what happen after 2008 ?? ... the standardars are better before 2008 .... what they change ?

[Neroammy]

@openmind1984 no they're not better than the 2008's. Every Les Paul Standard is a new interpretation of those made in the fifties. The Models are mostly equal in value, playability, tone, etc.. the changes on the 2008 were locking tuners, BB Pro Pickups instead of the Gibson Alnicos, Neutrik Locking Jack, etc.

[openmind1984]

@Neroammy good to know... thx neroammy...

[casperfren]

This was the best guitar video in a long time..!

[Nickiefive]

anyone no wut kind of strings those are

[bingefeller]

@Nickiefive I'd say they're 10s. Most people play 10s on a Les Paul style guitar.

[weebexy93]

I'd recognise that lick anywhere.................... he played it on tour with P!NK and blew the crownd away. Check out "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" off P!NK's Funhouse DVD!

[SymphonicCacophony]

lol he's scott henderson part II!

[Nasosdag]

Oh yeah and Justin is phenomenal!

[Nasosdag]

I'm a shreadhead, sucker for all things heavy metal and hard rock, I'm dying for blues and jazz, I LOVE guitar but I gotta say one thing: Pink is AWESOME! Gotta agree with whitehead575. I recently watched a Funhouse concert on TV and couldn't pick my jaw off the floor. Newfound respect for Pink (she's super sexy too).

[28chrischi10]

actually the drummer of Pink's (live) band is one of the most talented musicians I've ever seen, too. I also didn't know that these guys are so damn good....

[stratacular]

chromaticism ...:)

[BM270musician]

damn he's good...never knew Pink's guitarist was so good...I need to go over the modes again. I forgot them :\ and he makes me feel dumb

[whitehead575]

comeontrytopkme: I acknowledge that you're not dissing P!nk fans, but you need to check out her most recent live DVD, or see her live. It isn't a pop show, its a Rock show with so much more. P!nk seems to have been pushed down a pop(ish) route by her record company, and is now showing her rock sensibilities. Justin is superb as are the rest of her band, and I've been a classic rock fan for 35 years!

[tvxpunk]

im a fulltime guitar teacher of 17 years-justin is great.hands down!!!i just stumbled accross him a few weeks back and im glad i did.

[hankfromSPiN]

I think what he's trying to say is that he could never play like this. ALL MUSIC IS BUILT OFF SCALES DOUCHEKIT! Now Go play rock band dumb dumb!

[MrYungsan]

not all music...

[konshess]

yawn..playing through thousands of dollars of effect processers doesnt impress anyone...boring scale crap ...

[TheGlow101]

What are you talking about ?

He is playing through really subtle overdrive and some delay...

Besides, effects don't make someone's playing bad...

[nhdeitmers]

Sorry buddy. I can understand your jealousy, but sweeping IS doable and actually kinda fun once you get into it. Just sit down and get started practising...

[joztinledezma]

omg amazing sound

[4hatefake]

so sweet sound

[4hatefake]

one more man

[krokus65]

COOL MAN

[metalcore929]

Sick player.

[nhdeitmers]

Thanks for sharing, bro! Your style is really inspiring, makes me wanna push my bundaries even more...

[mulotwo]

Pretty cool !

[comeontrytopkme]

This is the guitarist from PINK?!?! WHAT THE HELL?! This guy can shred, seriously. He could go really really far if he were in the right band :) Not dissing Pink fans, btw.

[SteveNroses]

he is an awesmoe player, look up pinks cover of "babe i'm gonna leave you" he does a solo at the end and its just awesome! also check out his bogner alchemist demo he plays manic its sick :)

[comeontrytopkme]

Yeah he is pretty damn sick \m/ :)

[robotfamilygchicken]

he's a session muso...of course he can shred

[dannyschuttevaer]

simply awesome... gonna practice the next year or so....

[MetalMonsterGuitar]

soo clean dude. Amazing

[jordaniac89]

So clean! It makes me sick!

[solidwolftux]

And a Gibson or a PRS =)

[frownclown]

this is exactly the kind of sound i want. does any1 know how to get it???

[SteveNroses]

Bogner Shiva... A Great Amp :)

and his fingers :)

[slash6285]

I agree

[guitarslasher3100]

its like... a part of me has died, but another part has just been born

[Free3001GP]

Amazing guitar sound dude!

[13thorderbass]

Amazing Technique. Super clean playing.

[meatloafgodxer]

gotta love his metal/ blues style of playing and those pentatonic (idk if that was spelled rite) runs are undeniable

[danielilradm]

"like a d7 kinda thing"

[Atrocitas6]

This guy is so unfathomably better than me. I hate him for it.

[kreepmaster]

super finger technique and great licks!

[ProtoPaintballaKid]

thats what she said :D

[LordOfThisWorld74]

Man. Why does slash get all of the credit?? Theres plenty of other guitarists out there that have way more skill. This dude for instance. Emil Werstler(amazing), Paul Waggoner(Between The Buried and Me) just to name a few....

[meatloafgodxer]

paul waggoner and muhammed suicmez are like my top two favorite guitarists at the moment!

[mazokisss]

swEet

[viddelt]

He has tight tone =D

[ibanezxiphos700]

the first lick is kinda bluesy-jazzy to me.sounds good

[JayJayMT]

awesome legato

[xxc3lld4m4gexx]

holy shit the tone is rediculous, and this guy is amazing..i wish had the theory knowledge this dude does

[JEDSaje15]

@xxc3lld4m4gexx agree'd

[casperfren]

@xxc3lld4m4gexx Anyone can get it, but it cost time

[rockmandantyrrell]

@xxc3lld4m4gexx get this, his guitar teacher is my guitar teacher lucky me huh? :)

[muddywood]

@xxc3lld4m4gexx

It's there for you. You just have to decide to do it.

[webrokeyourbed]

lol my old comment got deleted.

but awesome video. this guys tone is just superb.

[CesarThrashMetal]

wauu

[SchizoTree]

beutiful guitar, tasty ass licks, and a tone that even jesus crossed with guitar devil couldnt match

[Andrewsonfire]

very nice tone, and guitar. he knows his shit to.. good video.

[TruckerCrossie]

@Andrewsonfire Ofcourse he knows his shit!!! He is P!nks guitarist and he didn't get tha number because he is a beginner, no did he?

[rb1003]

Nice video Only problem i dont understand what he is talking about on the first lesson when he says the different types of riffs to add together.

[carnage101]

Nice tone
