Just a concise lesson, no bullshit talk. Refreshing and time-saving!

[kevallison]

[nickeax]

@kevallison Glad to hear it!

[Snakecharmer369]

now this is the camera view I like..I am going to watch all your videos now

[nickeax]

@Snakecharmer369 Hope you enjoy them.

[memmnock]

I have never seen a lesson so good and easy to understand as you have captured it from the learners eye view and broken down so good! 10/10 my friend!

[nickeax]

@memmnock Glad you liked it, and thanks!

[geobruf123]

[awshop1995]

@geobruf123 nahh, its easier to just pick it, but thats just my opinion lol

[geobruf123]

@awshop1995 yea i think your right

[beatledavemumbo]

when i saw this i soon learned how to play it.....great way to show it thanx...

[nickeax]

@beatledavemumbo Excellent mate!

[HudsonRiverBoy]

I'm trying to figure what key this song is in.

Is it D?

Is it A?

Thanks.

[DarthMaul747400]

Great tutorial! I like how you slow it down so you can see every note played. I'm slowly learning it, but getting it. Thanks!!!

[dlchambers]

Actually, Angus plays the intro is played with the index finger on the 4th fret and the middle finger on the 5th, rather than moving the index finger between the 4th & 5th.

[laser74hobby]

YOU HELPED ME TO GET THAT TRICKY LEAD PART ANGUS PLAYS!!! MANY THANKS MAN!!!

[Coyote3103]

How do you playing the first part...with shreding???

[manfromregina]

My dilemma is splitting the Malcolm parts from the Angus parts.

I think, Malcolm is setting the foundation, then Angus, plays his tricks, on top.

I'm not a lead player, Malcolm is under-rated, Angus is not , over-rated.

Cheers

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

[rankiaru]

can you send me the tabs by email please by the way good lesson

[nickeax]

I didn't make TABs for this lesson, and I'm not going to. Possibly you are not ready to learn this song if you need TABs for it. It's all simple rock stuff mate.

[NiiiiNnneeE]

el enfoque de la camara es muy bueno!!!

[nickeax]

Las gracias, apenas me tiene sentido.

[coldheartedman1]

i´m a beginner.I have a few question.

the part 0-3-4-5-6-0-3-4 -0-3-4-..is a problem for me.You are hammer on the (4) ? the E open is louder than the 3-4 You mute the E ? Is there a secret to make the riff (0-3-4-5-6-0-3-4...)sounds like the original

sorry for my english.I´m from germany...

[nickeax]

Sorry mate, I can't follow your TAB. I don't use TABs, I use my ears. That is what I suggest to you.

[guillll]

He does mute the open E with his thumb. Amp setting is also important : if open E sounds too loud you can try to lower the bass. Good luck !

[coldheartedman1]

thank you..you understand me !

[LiamW0792]

Very helpful, thanks.

That is a tasty-ass tone you've got there too.

[nickeax]

You're welcome! The tone is just a Marshall JMP-1 directly into the recording device.

[maroonbaboon]

Stunning work there. Overhead view is a brilliant idea.

[nickeax]

Cheers!

[dukapaja]

Angus likes to shift the fingers - I know that. But I never thought that Riff Raff was made that easy.

[nickeax]

Yeah.

[dukapaja]

I didn't thought that it is taht easy.

[nickeax]

Yeah.

[headwhop26]

You do pretty freakin good for no talking :)

[nickeax]

Shhhhh....

[GnarGnarsk8]

stop taking these overhead vids! its homo!

[nickeax]

I am a master of reality.

[zx7gp]

I like the overhead view.works good for me

[ZosoHacker]

Yeah let's have one from behind - that'd really help!!!

Knob!

[nickeax]

@ZosoHacker You're very welcome!

[captainshizerstance]
