The Big Reveal

[Kals33]

Specifically what amp/head model are you using?

[cspagnoli]

When YouTube removes one of your videos for copyright infringement, is it because you are playing the original recording or are you not even allowed to play the song? If you were giving a Hendrix lesson without playing along with the original recording, could they tell you to take it down? Just curious.

[privettricker]

@cspagnoli I don't know, but I'm not inclined to find out. Besides, I've got a request list of a few hundred songs, so I'm not hurting for material.

[MrLino]

People who asked you about your face defnitely haven't seen that marvellous gift you got from your mother-in-law with all four symbols.

[hockeycuber101]

Didn't you already show your face on your Ten Years Gone video?

[MrLennon231]

@hockeycuber101 and two of us by the beatles

[erythropus1111]

Mil gracias por tus mil vídeos, espero seguir aprendiendo de tus lecciones y talento por mucho tiempo. Mi deseo para el 2012 es que todos los que como yo amamos la música y por encima de todo el sonido de la guitarra podamos seguir disfrutando de tu gran cultura musical y nos descubras día a día canciones y sonidos que nos alegren la vida.

[dennis4189]

You can also catch a glimpse of PT's face (sans makeup) on his "Two Of Us" video from November 2009. Some might say he has a great face for radio. Just kidding PT. You're not a bad looking guy.

[theguy886]

when are you gonna get back together with led zeppelin :P

[blackbirdfly17]

WOW Mr privettricker amazing thank you so much and very Nice to meet you!!

[spacewithace1997]

hey privet will you please do some more kiss covers starting with duece

[RumbleFiish]

Can you please do some Rory Gallagher covers/ lessons?

[stonesdude154]

Little known PT fact, you can see his face on his "I've Just Seen a Face" by The Beatles.

[disda1n]

@stonesdude154 And Ten Years Gone :D maybe a couple others too ha ha.

[JRob706111]

Very cool answers and thanks for all the uploads man. All I can say is you do have talent and I can relate to the whole band thing, especially the lead singer thing...LOLO

[ultrakool]

no whitesnake, huh? that's too bad, cozy powell and jon lord were bad asses. did coverdale poop in someone's cheerios?

[MrTacoInc]

silly viewers, he's already shown his face before, about a year ago

[MrSmudgyQuill]

Why do you hate coverdale so much

[privettricker]

@MrSmudgyQuill Have you heard his music?

[MrSmudgyQuill]

@privettricker Can't argue with that.

[The8347135]

can you do Here I Go Again by...uhm.. Blacksnake

[Hplarrialb]

Love your videos. They've been a big help to me as an adult (ie >50) learner. Tab doesn't give you a sense of hand position, dynamics etc.

2 questions:

-do you work? Where do you find the time to do all this?

-do you have kids? If so better buy your wife a present!

Seriously, though-keep it up.

Re the recommendations-you did some nice work on McCartney's first solo album. How about 'That would be something'?

Thanks again.

[lazylazyshark]

congrats!

[NCWharfRat]

OMG!!! You're Marcel Marceau!!! With a black eye and a better wardrobe!;-) Congrats on batting a thousand and thanks for the melodies.

[robw95]

Great communication and delivery. Would definitely buy again.

[FriendlyRangerSteve]

Genius video! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these videos, and thanks for all you have taught me in 2011. Hope your 2012 is epic!

[garethjones76]

I heard David Coverdale interviewed on Radio 4 (UK BBC) last month and he sounds like a very charming man - totally disarming. Very well spoken in an "english gent" way - a bit Terry Thomas/Leslie Phiilips. Not what I expected at all and he sounded extremely likeable. (Still - shame about the music)

[46taty]

algun tema de the white stripes maestro!!!!!!!!!

[dadblank]

Loved the "Great Reveal" what a hoot!!! I feel the exact same way about bands my self, after all this time I have no desire to play out anymore. Beside on YT I only have to play it once decent bwaa haa haa ha!!!!!

[33McGhie]

Keep up the videos, love them, and there very useful. Thanks

[briancbl1]

You're obviously Gene Simmons love child.....

[harrylook]

totally cool that the hendrix estate was threatened by you. B^)

[mariule2]

HAHA! Brilliant reveal! :D

[Kals33]

But you've already shown your face before.

[IdolHans]

Thanks for so much PT! Wow! 1000 guitar how to videos---far beyond what mere mortals could deliver. You are the reason our repetoire has expanded so much! Thanks for doing that Hendrix material---I got it using real player! PT--you did more to bust us out of the learning plateau doldrums then anybody else ever did The people I grew up playing with live near you!

[CrazyDave408]

I have a request:

Fool in the Rain perhaps?

[icm65]

All this time I thought you were Vinny Vincent, oh well ;) keep Rockin brother!

[marbleriver]

Couldn't have done a better video for #1000. Your lessons, sense of humor and good attitude are well appreciated here. Have a great 2012, and looking forward to #1001!

[seclusive]

The dozens of commenters who are saying " but you've already shown your face!" need to A) read at least a few other comments before commenting and B) stop taking it so seriously. He's just having a little fun, these "gotcha!" comments are really, really overthinking it.

[rileyhot21]

can you teach the get back song by the beatles

[Aaronlm91]

Think we could get a dio cover? Or possibly heaven and hell?

[dontlabelme001]

Good Q & A, and great advice on learning to play by ear..... Thanks.

[RipzMan24]

How much did that Les Paul cost you? I'm looking to buy a Gibson

[bangsmoke]

Very clever. But you had flashed a little on the Communication Breakdown vids and shredder got you good (nice work, shredder). You look like a better looking version of Hugh "Dr. House" Laurie.

So, there. I don't even know why I watch this channel, I don't play the guitar.....

[toknowclark]

good to meet ya! (lol the big reveal).just wanted to say thanks for creating & running this channel, i've been playing sense about 1977 or 78, i have two boys (currently 18 & 20 yrs old), that play guitar (learning to play for the past 8 or 9 years), anyways, they don't live with me and i cant sit and jam with them very often (300 miles from each other)...so i like to hit em up and let em know about things u post so they can learn, sense i cant sit and teach em myself.Thanks a million!~clark

[1PUTTZ]

Congrats on reaching 1000. Love your playing, your song selections and your laid back attitude and approach. And I usually learn a few things in the mean time. Oh, and I'm fine with no Whitesnake...I feel the same way about Bob Seger. Look forward to hearing more in 2012.

[atticus2001]

Thanks for the videos and congrats on an awesome achievement.

[MHFROX]

Congrats on your 1k! I saw 999 happen and was wondering if you were gonna do something special at 1000. Classic! You've been my 'go-to' guy for numerous songs. (We're re-forming a band currently...despite all the reason's not to, including the fact that getting everyone at the same place, same time & on the same page is more difficult than 'herding cats'...but, gotta love the sound. Great job, Man...keep on keepin on!

[MrLennon231]

I have seen your face in some of your other videos besides this one

[MrB17FlyingFortress]

How do I send you A request?

[privettricker]

@MrB17FlyingFortress You can post it right here or send me a personal message via my channel.

[roflmao791]

@privettricker you showed your face on the 'two of us' video haha :D

i'd post the link but it won't let me for some reason

[smkinguitar]

that was a really cool video here friend ,congrats on the 1000 mark,keep on rockin man and i might have to add the kiss segment was pure genius.

[MrB17FlyingFortress]

How do I send you are request?

[spacedoginnebraska]

Awesome, man! Made my year! Thanks for all you do! Keep up the great work!!!

[deedubslite]

Well Done! and tx agin. Keep em coming, n i'll certainly keep on viewn em.

[surfjabroni]

I totally agree with your comments about rhythm guitar. Get the foundation down first. I am always impressed by your alternative tuning stuff because you say you play by ear. Merry Christmas and looking forward to more classic rock.

[RPGCream]

I think I'm in love with you. But about Hendrix - would you try posting Hendrix on another site (vimeo e.g.) and giving us the link?

[goelanddesalpages]

Are you David Coverdale's son?

[caf2332]

never heard about white snake , but juste for fun , play one song !! :)

[19Nathan62]

I'll go ahead and take some of the other common questions

PT does not read or write tabs.

PT does not use any effects.

PT runs a Marshall half stack when he goes electric.

Thank you

[goelanddesalpages]

@19Nathan62 I can ear a phase shifter on some.

[hahdhdf]

@19Nathan62 sorry to be rude but how do you know

[19Nathan62]

@hahdhdf those questions have been asked and answered in multiple comment strands

[mactuber66]

Well done senor.

[StefStef3434]

Your very talented and i have learned alot watching your videos . I am a beginning guitar player with about two years of experience. Thanks, for posting the lessons I really appreciate it.

John III

[zaxs142]

Hahahahaha thats good!

[ncaadan]

May you have 1000 more!!! Thanks for sharing your talent - it has helped me immensely.

[NattyFoxBand]

So no Whitesnake? Just Kidding. Great video. Well if you don't want to be in a band that's cool. I hate all those things to. You should be doing studio work though, good hours and better pay. Happy New Year man.

[leapsalmon]

Wow, I never knew you were white! 

[kdt1599]

Hey how come you don't like white snake and all that? Ohh and could you post a video of some yes? Mood for a day or roundabout :D

[Glasbrow]

And congratulations on 1000 clips! I`ve been watching and learning from them for years now. Keep em coming.

[Glasbrow]

LOL!!!! Classic man!!! :-)

[blueoceantraders]

Too funny! thanks for the laugh. Congrats on your 1000 uploads, you are the man. I have learned so much from watching your videos. All I can say is Thank you!!! whoever you are masked man. lol

[souldime]

merry christmas man and i share your agony of lead singers. LSD ruins many great bands and fun adventures in playing.

[Whatever7Firetruck]

Very funny comments about David Coverdale. Loved it. But there is an underlying story it seems. I wouldn't be able to ignore the Burn album from Purple. I know what you mean about the cover band scene. You get to a certain age...... Keep it up mate and congrats on your success.

[iamRottenRon]

Congrats on 1,000 uploads dude, keep up the great work. BTW, you look familiar ...

[Mikespyke]

WHAT!!! Don't really like kiss. Awesome videos!! Congrats on getting 1000th video

[MrOttocarpenter]

Hey, you have a "FAN BASE". How cool is that? You certainly deserve it after all your efforts. However, as you once pointed out, playing guitar is what you do - "everything else is just waiting around." Props to Steve McQueen for the reference and Karma to you for sharing your love and knowledge of music.

[Mikespyke]

I've already seen your face on a few videos. But I am about :31 seconds in....I'm still watching...will post again in a second

[bondstreet15]

Thank you so much for all your posts- you have improved my playing tremendously- and saved me a ton on guitar lessons -it is greatly valued and appreciated......best of luck in 2012 & Happy 1,000!

[TyroneShuuze]

hey privettricker, happy 1K ! your one of the best things on youtube. Thanks.

[angela21215]

privettricker if you have all your videos or at least the ones that were blocked stored in your hard drive you could burn them onto a series of dvds and sell them i would buy in a heartbeat.please just tell me if you have them and the price.i think it woud be much easier than trying to download all of them.and the ones that got blocked that i can remember are: (hendrix,eagles,led zeppelin(battle of evermore),pink floyd(dogs)and van halen big bad bill).

[coloradotim]

Thanks for your efforts, I've learned a lot from watching you. Hope you have a great new year. I've been surprised you haven't had more issues with youtube blocking stuff or shutting you down! Any backup plans in case they ever do?

[icitnow]

ha ha in addition to being a great guitarist, you're a very very funny guy! Hey-just want to say- I really love your channel! You pick the greatest songs! I think (I might have already said this) I like/love 99% of them. You have great taste. If you want, can you do Janis Joplin/Big Brother's rendition of Summertime? I've no problems with the chords, and most of the lead stuff, but there is one section in the 1st lead that is arpeggiated that I have trouble with. Thanks! Happy New Year!

[TheStormtrooperrr]

is that google translate asking you the questions??XD

[desheik]

I knew I recognized that voice!

[kentieb]

What I can't believe about the 1000 videos, is that I like so darn many of them.  Keep it up, it's so great having someone demystify these songs.

[thejimster1956]

I do learn alot from what you post just by watching you play,especially the Stones.As for a request how about the Stones version of Stop Breaking Down.Keep up the good work.

[Gary1497]

LOL! great stuff! with a good sense of humour too! your channel is top class keep on doing it!

[TheMr0384]

I too remember PT showing face. Believe it was before he got married and moved out of the back porch. At least that's what it looked like to me. Thanks million man! I've improved so much because of you. Congrats on 1000!!

[Dronehopper]

Ha ha nice one. I know I've seen you face before...

Reminds of the Kiss Concert we were at two years ago and a friend went dressed up as Paul Stanley and did the make up himself in the mirror!

You guessed it, he got the Star on the wrong eye!!!

Please keep the great covers coming and have a great New Year.

[NicholasViens]

It would be cool to hear you play some White............ Stripes!

[golfdom1987]

Don't join a band! We love the channel!

[69nisab]

Congratulations and many thanks for all the videos. Is that your wife asking the questions?

[mymusicroom1]

I like your channel. I always look forward to watching your videos. It has helped my guitar playing.

thanks

[shjhdhah]

PT, Looking for Lust for Life......no one on You Tube has done this.

[chakka712]

merry christmas p.t from hull uk .what do you think of the black keys? p.s keep up the fantastic work

[wartimemodels]

nice. congrats on 1,000 vids. any info on your pedals/rig you can share?

[xzoolady]

PT...Congtatulations on your 1000? You are truly inspiration. Keep em comming.

Thank you

[angela21215]

pt have you been mistreated by david coverdale and losing your mind?

[BachVader]

It was on Ten Years Gone. :)

[BachVader]

You have shown your face on some song! I remember seeing it in a song where you did a little comment before playing. lol Maybe it was some Led Zeppelin...

[MrHattrick63]

LSD - lead singer disease , thats whats wrong with lead singers

[fibrosport]

Hey PT !! your 'assistant' has a great voice ... I just hope she doesn't look like Gene Simmons!!

Congratulations on #1000 and Happy Holidays to you both!

[ou8126]

I knew it!!

I knew you

were Paul Stanley!

play some of your

old songs.

[Bunzypoo]

Love the makeup. Lol

[Bunzypoo]

Copyrights are ridiculous.

[wellergilardino9]

Congrats on 1000, now, Loving Cup please?

[klib5800]

Thanks for the unexpected Christmas present. I have seen your guitar collection. I couldn't find an upload about your amplifier(s), is it just the Marshall? or pedals.

Hope you have a good New Year.

[dylanhead]

Hey bro!! Thanks so much for all that you do and a merry Christmas to you. So can I be clear here, we will never get any White Snake?????

[word67]

Privettricker thank you. 1000 vids this quickly is an amazing accomplishment and also a generous way to share your talents. I suspect there are many like me who have played for decades who find much to learn here. I don't enter the conversation often because I don't have to. If I find a song I want to work on here--I just do it. As a reference you are so dependably accurate. I've recommended this channel to many of my guitar playing friends. So again thanks.

[smp156]

I've never been in a band. what's wrong with lead singers?

btw, a big FUDGE YOU to Janie Hendrix

[micklips]

Would like to see rough justice by the stones or lesson on hot legs by stewert..yes there are others, but the detail on lessons by you are the best for me..thanks

[micklips]

Congrats on 1000! Thanks for all you do for all of us..i just started picking up the guitar after 25 year hiatis..used to be in a band in late 70's and 80's but because of an accident and life got away from it..You Help me regain the passion..thanks again

[MrOttocarpenter]

All the best to you and yours, PT. Thank you so much for all your shared knowledge, wit and wisdom. To PT Channel viewers who want to see what PT actually looks like (for whatever unfathomable reason), simply sift through his 1000 videos - you'll catch a glimpse. It's a joy, not a chore.

[dtreeguy]

To Those who are long time viewers - PT has revealed his face before...do your research - you'll find it.

[marslife01]

really enjoyed this video, a lot of what you said makes sense, everybody thinks it's so easy being in a band, the copyright can be a pain on here, I had a Doors video that had a moment showing a Ed Sullivan show part, & Sofa Entertainment complained so it was blocked & I had to do it over again & edit out the part, & Hendrix estate is run by his half Sister who he didn't even like when he was alive, keep up the great video's.

[123GPA]

What about Grand Fund Railroad something off the red album? Is older Grand Funk Railroad blocked?

[TheMrSeptime]

Merry Christmas and happy new year Mr Teacher

[123GPA]

Yes thanks you for taking the time to post all the songs.

[Stewdogin1]

That was awesome. Thanks for all the help you provide!  And for taking the time to provide this bit of entertainment for the masses.

[angela21215]

pt since youre masked,would you consider playing shock me by kiss?

[mdbdmb1000]

Hey mate, it's Keith Richards. Can you post your phone number and address? I'd like to stop by. Do I have to smoke outside? Oh, no worries about hanging out with drunk people, I'm incapable of getting drunk unless I'm climbing for coconuts.

I could bring along a lead singer but he is a little bit on the cocky and arrogant side. Maybe I should leave him at home?

[fly5mike]

Thanks for all your help

[fritzal64]

From Canada- Tragically Hip - Fully Completely Please

[Abz90L]

haha thats cool

[jcmsaf]

Think Coverdales's been shagging a certain someone's wife!!

[dannyboy5591]

You have shown your face on one of your videos before. If you do not remember, I can point out which one (I will have to cull it out of your collection)

p.s. - your channel is, in my humble opinion, is in the top 5 best channels on YT. Nice work!

Finally, being a Beagle fan and owning a beagle, I have noticed that one of your dogs is part beagle. Again, nice work!

[xr650r01]

Good stuff man - really dig the channel too!

[RumbleFiish]

You've already shown your face in a video haven't you? Without facepaint too :P

[colouredfreeways]

AWEOSME

[caf2332]

[amasrof]

BTW...are you dating Tawny Kitaen? :-)

Cheers!

[amasrof]

Congrats and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for sharing your talent with the world :-)

[MrACDC1997]

Congrats man!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New (guitar playing) Year

[elfilmador]

Your awesome dude.. I always enjoy your covers

[warner631]

I really enjoy you're no nonsense approach and how unapologetic you are. Always reserve the right to be politically incorrect and social mal-adjusted. Congratulations on the millennium mark, keep on rocking, I appreciate your work.

[matco24]

omg, the ending totally caught me off guard!

[matco24]

I like ur sarcasam toward Hendrix and I agree it's retarded you can't post Hendrix stuff

[Charles06220]

Something similar happened to me . I work in a big hôtel of Cannes on the french riviera as a room service waiter and last year I served cookies to an elegant guest ... without make up . Guess what ? It was Gene Simmons and of course at the moment I didn't recognize him !!! The day after in the newspaper it was more evident ... Thank you very very very much for all your videos ! I hope 2012 will be a lot of time in open G tuning !!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!!!

[danielmendes9090]

hahaha very fun!!

[ThrasherTommm]

Your my favorite cover go to man! Keep up the material!

[Guitarplayer257]

Zommg! It's Paul stanley!

[Katana221985]

Maybe make a website and post there videos YouTube won't allow You to post on Your channel?

[watwillwedonext]

Hi, can you make a guitar/pedalboard tour?

Merry xmas!1

[tvlevell]

If you really want to see what he looks like just watch his Ten years Gone Cover by Led Zeppelin

[chrisaspinall]

Thanks for everything! All the best, privettricker!

[Chrysostomus99]

merry fucking christmas, man. I'm going to be posting some video responses soon to give you an idea of just how helpful your videos have been.

[StubbsZA]

Thanks man. Lots of people were interested to see what you look like/resemble. But you didn't say - where does your name come from?

PS: You have the coolest accent!

[JohnnyCarvin]

Great video!

[leighto27]

Congrats but why don't you like coverdale lol?

[Katana221985]

@leighto27 And why don't You like... something You don't like? It's usually not a decision...

[trioval83]

Congrats!  And Merry Christmas!!

[7777srd]

Hilarious!! Perfect end to X-mas day.

More Whitesnake!!!

[Greystole1]

Ha ha ha, nice reveal.

Seriously, thanks for all your posts, you've helped me immensely.

[Avalanche1368]

About a year and a half ago I stumbled upon your channel while I was searching for vids with Sj 200's in them similar to the one I purchased back in 2003. .........It turned out to be a great stumble, as since that day I've learned crap load of new songs and throughly enjoyed your fun and educational posts. Merry Christmas to you and your family and thanks for taking the time to create these 1000 videos. I hope Santa brought you a new 12 string this Christmas to add to your collection.

[GIGLIOTTIAPG]

Great info... Thanks for all the the great music & lessons ..VERY funny ending and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year...Thanks Angelo

[EvilWonka]

Congrats PT :) Quit an accomplishment: 1000 videos. I believe we all stand enlightened. It's been a joy and look forward to 2012. I think we all like to see the: "Privettricker has posted a new video" message.

Evil

Not familiar with Dave Coverdale; however I'll make sure he goes to hell...

[skeezermania]

Brilliant

[jrbluesy]

i having gone thru most of your videos in the last few months or so but would like to see maybe some of these bands... Montrose " Rock Candy" or "Make it Last", Tommy Bolin " Post Toastee" or "Shake the Devil" maybe some stuff from other bands he was with??? Anyhow love the "STAR" ..keep the good work up here on Youtude .. always checking this site out no matter what! Savoy Brown or Foghat tunz?

[HeyMikey218]

Led Zeppelin's No Quarter pleeeeaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeee­eeee!!!!!!

[mrgoodvibrations]

I don't like "white snake" either, or some other 80s "hair" bands too.  Thanks, Paul Stanley (LOL)!

[elemental47]

AEROSMITH - LAST CHILD!



[mrgoodvibrations]

The egos in a band can be a bit too much at times to.....I here ya!

[klatorre44]

[plgplgplg]

Was that talented drummer your lovely wife?

'ere's one for ya...what's the Coverdale back story? Your first love nailed him after a show? You had an allergic reaction to his big hair phase? You're a fool for his lovin'?
