[Cookye8]

@thisgirlsnotgood I see you have no videos posted playing anything. Easy to criticize when you have no skills.

[Lusenrad]

omg you have all the requirements i want in a girl damn such perfect girl for me and lives so far... why do i have to suffer this? : (

[DuckStallos]

REQUEST! anything Djent =]

[aaa567ify]

Your very good with your exercises. Your have plenty of skill ! Keep up the great playing.

[thisgirlsnotgood]

@aaa567ify no shes not

[Metala7xfan2489]

your like a girl version of Paul Gilbert!

[thisgirlsnotgood]

@Metala7xfan2489 For you to even compare her to Paul Gilbert suggests how stupid you are. You might be killed by the guitar gods for that.

lol so you deleted my comment and block me for giving you criticism? Girl you sloppy, how about you practice more before you post another crock video.

[lifeagain]

also I'm Very impressed at how close you keep all of your fingers so close to the fret board (especially your pinky) keep it up.

[thisgirlsnotgood]

@lifeagain shes so sloppy

[lifeagain]

i think you have the speed down for sure. the only problem i see is playing nice Clean notes.

still hard to believe you're this good at your age...self taught?

[johntg123]

@lifeagain I can play it clean I am working on better guitar tone and recording techniques then I will record this clip again.

[KennaZombieDragon]

exercise?!?!?!!?!? That would be like winning the lottery for being able to play THAT. I just realized how much i fail

[tweediebird97]

really good and really beautiful. great skills i wish i was that good.

[thisgirlsnotgood]

@tweediebird97 no skills at alll

[dsjaroen]

Dame girl... Y u no famous here in holland.. U rock

[johntg123]

@dsjaroen Thank you...some day I hope to be famous in Holland. 

[fekta92]

Hi! Do you use economy picking, or alternate picking?



[johntg123]

@fekta92 I practice it many different ways: alternate picking, economy picking, down picking, single note per string, hammer ons/pull offs (no picking), plucking, and over the fretboard.

[kjchicago1]

@johntg123 Now, that shouldn't be too hard to do? just a basic guitar exercise to familarize yourself with the guitar & frets, etc!

[PochoNieves]

Hey I would like to take a crack at this exercise. You mentioned the fingering patterns but what scale is this? Could you please send link or name so I can printed, etc... thank you and you are awesome!

[johntg123]

@PochoNieves I will put it on ultimate guitar . com It is just different finger patterns with the last run being chromatic. I like chromatic as a practice exercise because you are forced to use all of your fingers. Give me a couple days then go to ultimate guitar and search Basic Guitar Exercise No. 1

[johntg123]

@PochoNieves The exercise has been tabbed out and is on ultimate guitar. I also provided a link right below the video clip. It is a really good exercise. Good luck.

[kevgmei]

@johntg123 Naw, I only get presents of $200 max.

[gma9610]

[darkdetective29]

") viciouluscious

[TheVinny1414]

very awsome :P

[aaa567ify]

Hi, your a great guitarists. If you get any negative comments don't pay any attention to them. Not worth reading. From this vid you seem very nice. Your a very hard working guitar player. Watched another vid and your fun to watch with all the change ups. Don't change your playing, well obviously your going to grow ,but anyway keep the guitar in your hand!!

[JohnWhitesheep]

ok got a couple question here..when did you start? ..how often do you practice?..and will i ever be that good? or did you made some sorta pact with ..u know who^^? haha

[johntg123]

@JohnWhitesheep I started playing May 2004 - in this clip I was 14 years old. I practice every day between a half hour and an hour...yes just practice and stay committed.

[Xenthoz]

I give up. I'm going to go hang myself now.

[FTWjeff1965]

The world hopes you never discover boys.

[johntg123]

@FTWjeff1965 lol I've discovered boys but guitar comes first - always will but thank you :)

[kjchicago1]

@johntg123 Did you ever check out that "Rocksmith" guitar game? Just got my copy today!

[kevgmei]

@kjchicago1 Will most likely get it when I find some work.

[kjchicago1]

@kevgmei Also, have you played a Epiphone Les Paul Jr electric guitar or a Gibson B. B. King Lucille electric guitar or a Gibson Melody Maker(a cheap knock-off version of the Les Paul)or Gibson Midtown Custom electric guitar or a Gibson ES-335 electric guitar or a Gibson SG electric guitar or maybe a Fender electric guitar or a Fender Squier electric guitar(or also a Fender Jazz Bass guitar)or a Ibanez electric guitar or a Jackson electric guitar?

[kevgmei]

@kjchicago1 Wow, long list much. Aaaaaaahhhh ... I play the Squier. Why?

[kjchicago1]

@kevgmei Because I, myself, play(or learning to play)the Epiphone Les Paul Jr on the video guitar game "Rocksmith" and thinking about a Gibson Melody Maker myself for Xmas! And the Squier is a good guitar!

[kevgmei]

@kjchicago1 Yeah, I already have 3 knock-offs so the next guitar I wanna get I want legit. I was thinking maybe a Gibson, Mockingbird, or maybe a Bich.

[kjchicago1]

@kevgmei That'd be a great Xmas present! Good Luck!

[Hypermantrasoul]

@johntg123 My sentiments as well, guitar has my heart and commitment, lol. \m/

[BBQkrewe]

[Rectaldagger]

sw33t boo....guitar skills ;)

[chickabuka]

Be really glad your parents support you too, mine never did which really gave me a late start on playing....support your kids, music is the best thing ever.

[johntg123]

@chickabuka Thank you...your playing now :)

[chickabuka]

@johntg123 pretty cool, your doing some great alternate picking too, be proud of how good you are, you will only get better. practicing everyday, even for 15mins or hours at a time always helps me, who is your favorite guitarist??

[ExileNJ]

I'd like to see that again with a clean tone, no distortion.

[johntg123]

@ExileNJ The goal of the exercise is hand and finger development regardless of tone. I will be putting up the complete Basic Guitar Exercises No. 1 & 2 - which includes this exercise. I will use a clean tone.

[RandomMetalGuy666]

@johntg123 i think they meant you cant play it cleanly

[holipinieo1]

Hey there, I'm the same age as you and I cannot play anything compared to what you are able to play! I was just wondering what age you were when you started playing guitar and how long it took you to master something like this. It would be greatly appreciated if you answered back :)

[johntg123]

@holipinieo1 I started playing when I was 8 years old. I am 14 years old in the video,

[hmmm184]

You play even bueatyfull as you are :)

[ilovefoxhunting89]

....word!

[mangedlamardeesti]

Talented and beautiful, don't let anyone get you down!

[TheGreatDiverge]

@John/Taylor- yeah you sure are right there! I usually practice portions of songs also but since I don't get much time to play for hours I usually find myself playing and not practicing. Thanks for the tips!

[TheGreatDiverge]

Sorry if I'm being nosey but what type of mindset do you have towards playing? I , as a guitarist, don't actually do many exercises, I just play along to songs and write music - but that would explain why I hit quite a few bad notes when playing songs.

[johntg123]

@TheGreatDiverge My approach is based on Franz Liszt's approach t the piano - exercises & guitar songs. I start my practice with 70 or more very difficult exercises - makes up the first 7 or 8 minutes of my practice. I started off with exercises from books, then internet, then I would take the hardest parts of songs by Vai/Satriana/Eric Johnson/Shawn Lane/Buckethead and so on- I would turn them into exercises - ultimately I wrote my own - this was to develop mechanical ability.

[johntg123]

@TheGreatDiverge Also there is a difference between practicing the guitar and playing the guitar - you can play all day and not get much better.  Always push yourself - find stuff that is hard for you and learn it - don't give up after five minutes, an hour a day or week - slow it down break it down pay attention to the mechanics of what your hands are doing to execute the part. If you tell yourself "I can't do it" stop/quit because you are not going to prove yourself wrong.

[TheGreatDiverge]

Well if I ever do get around to creating my website, you might be expecting an invitation to teach.

[johntg123]

@TheGreatDiverge That would be cool. My practice is very diffrent from the guitarist I know - my whole approach to the guitar is different I am still developing but I know where I am going with this.

[josephd27]

holly crap you are amazingly good

[pip3214]

thats amazing your awsome and i am amazed that your sooo hot as well

[Taylorrrr4444]

You're just so amazing! How can u do this??!

[BestTits]

so hot



[TheStrawberriijamm]

HOLY BALLS. I'm a guitarist as well, about your age.. and BEFORE I watched this, I though I was pretty good xD... But WOW your shredding blew me away! Any tips?

[johntg123]

@TheStrawberriijamm Thank you for the compliment. I am really big on exercises - start off with the ones in books, then the hardest parts of songs by Vai, Satriana, and so on and turn those into exercises then finally write your own. Always be developing looking for material that will be challenging to play - find what works for you - don't worry about proper technique - worry about the techique that works for you and practice be dedicated - you don't have to practice a lot just consistently.

[johntg123]

@TheStrawberriijamm Part II (ran out of space) - I practice about 70 exercises that takes about 5 to 7 minutes then I practice guitar songs (material by Vai, Satriani, Buckethead, Lane, Gilbert, Eric Johnson, EVH), then styles (rhythm guitar, percussive guitar, classical guitar etc) then I practice band songs (not every day because they are not hard to play) then I write and mess around with Amp etc and work on new sounds. I practice about an hour a day but I practice generally every day.

[TheStrawberriijamm]

@johntg123 Thanks! 

[AJENJO1460]

exelent



[master18666]

Hoooooooooooooly S**T. You're fucking amazing if i had a band audition and you walked into the room doing that i think i'd pass out or just stare for hours... You are like a Godess of rock n roll. You and that guitar are like one it's awesome!!

How long have you been playing?

[johntg123]

@master18666 Thank you I have been playing since I was 8. I had just turned 14 in the clip. I turn 15 in a week I am way better then this now. I play every day for an hour.

[master18666]

@johntg123 Cool thanks for the reply i've been playing guitar for about a year now and i'm gonna practice everyday for sure plus you make me wanna play :D and also, i know you're way better now because i've seen your other videos. my faves are Eruption and Judas priests Painkiller. :)

[Noroxs91]

Hm thats freaking crazy! oO at what ages do you start with playing guitar? :]

[MrTomWeeks93]

Your HOT!

[caldera11]

a bit less distortion and i might have been impressed by the end

[johntg123]

@caldera11 But I like distortion.

[caldera11]

@johntg123 yes, but although you played it fine the distortion made it very difficult to differentiate between notes (especially in youtube quality).

[johntg123]

@caldera11 Agree. My dad also recorded it using a Sony camera which does not help the tone either.

[LinZeeLinuz]

@caldera11 she is who she is and she does what she does.

[LinZeeLinuz]

she is definitely one of the best guitarist here on u tube

[caldera11]

@LinZeeLinuz didn't say she was bad.

[LinZeeLinuz]

@caldera11 this is the next evolution of the electric guitar we are seeing here.

[johntg123]

@LinZeeLinuz Thank you. I have been working on some new things for the guitar - getting really extreme while still playing traditional guitar stuff. I feel like you understand where I am going with this. Cool

[JacobCain86]

@johntg123 but i like to hear what you are playing. youtube makes these videos sound like shit. the ds n od you like hearing out of your amp sounds like shit thru everyones headphones and speakers when rendered thru youtube. we just want to hear you thats all.

[TheMonkey8MyHomework]

Haha! "Wanking on the guitar!" You are amazing!! xx

[TimeBandit2317]

Im amazed by all of this... i demand more views! :D

[timekeeper7171]

Your advice on how to practice is right on the money. Every guitarist should read what you typed out. There are a lot ofsloppy three finger guitar players on YouTube. Excellent!

[staceygizmo07]

thts insane gd job and ur beautiful god dam x

[RebeccasMusic93]

haha you make it look so easy! Cool stuff Taylor :)
