Mike Einziger of Incubus Gives "Pistola" Guitar Tutorial

[craziface]

i could listen to an entire album of just mike playing the guitar

[djnarmi]

Lol @2:16 he says "G-String". Love this guy, has always been one of my favorite guitarists, despite me not being able to play the guitar. Seen them twice in Malaysia, great entertainers.

[laxbro518]

4:21 dog barkkk!

[TheDelli22]

This guys talent/creativity is second to none in my opinion. His solo's in songs like Priceless, Rogues, and Sick Sad Little World are some of the most unique and complex solo's i've ever heard. He doesn't just move up and down the neck, he mixes in effects, fast rhythms and harmonics like a mother fucker. Only time will tell, but I think he'll go down as one of the most important musicians ever

[digthewarmth]

I'm smiling so hard right now. haha I am speechless! Mike is amazing!

[EmilioMendez]

does anyone know what pedal the navy blue and yellow one is

[Gyle41386]

@EmilioMendez The blue one with the yellow dials I believe is a gonkulator.

[ThisisTheShady]

[omgaliowns]

[letshakehands]

One of the coolest riffs I have heard in a long time.

[TheDisasterboy]

Ok, I got to 0:34 and had to put the full version on.

Incubus, it's been a looooong time.

[zerotonico]

[sketchyou]

LOVE that smile at 5:40 ... he's just lookin at you and sayin in his mind

"I know it.. I know what I'm doin sucka.. ehehehe"

haha

[sketchyou]

MIKE ROCKS THE ROTOSPHERE LIKE THE DUDE MAKING THE BEST HAMBURGERS IN TOWN!

[sketchyou]

Fuck YEah!! THANK YOU FOR BEING BORN MIKE!!

[truthisbest]

When he played the Seasons in the Abyss chord, I was thinking the same thing and hoping he would mention it. He did!

[madbirdone06]

Mr. Einziger is the MAN! ;)

[kiyo123]

Just have to save $500 on pedals so I can play this song.

[titosrevenger]

I just wanted to send out a thanks to everyone who is making these videos happen. It's very rare to see a band do this kind of thing. This is fucking awesome.

[usmcflores]

This just puts a smile on my face... I love jammin to Pistola on my set. Thank you for the great music Incubus, and your show in Irvine the other night was amazing as they always are!

[daveincubus1]

Pretty sure I got massive chills listening to that solo for the first 500 times on the CD. I love that solo and the effect it has in the mix of the song in that section. In an odd way the Reel Echo fits in so well and at the same time sounds totally whack awesome. It's funny that the solo was made up on the spot in recording too.

[electric417]

one of the most UNDERRATED guitarists going round

[Karnivool09]

@electric417 defs one of the most creative too ey :D

[damarh]

@electric417 better to be underrated and loved then overrated and hated. no ?

[electric417]

@damarh nothing wrong with being underrated (i almost prefer it) but why not be recognised and loved. no ?

[MarkWellerMusic]

@electric417 its crazy how underrated he is, some of the stuff he plays (early stuff) is fairly difficutl.

[AllForTeags]

Mikey... me likely! On the tip of my tongue...! So sick.

[111Makai111]

Love you, Mikey!!!

[WaterbottleExplosion]

I love him.

[rockstarkay11]

watching this wishing i was a BOSS like Mikey but im still a novice haha

[gianninisupersonic]

awesome!

[pipe603]

cool mikee keep on doing videoos plzz!!! Greetings from chilee we see you guys soon!

[ToxeyHayes]

Too bad Mikey can only play those shit ass music man guitars.

[kaschdruid]

This is awesome!

[SimonRivasV2]

I swear Mike should get a signature guitar/pedal ANYTHING made haha

[TheLomo88]

only one band in my mine

[pittabass]

This guy is a genius.

[Rhythmnguitar7185]

What kind of Guitar is that anyone know? i saw him playing a couple of those at a live show this summer ive never seen it other than him using it...

[howdthattaste]

@Rhythmnguitar7185 its a MusicMan Albert Lee model.

[MLplayer78]

i remember seeing a article on this guy in guitar player magazine several years ago. it stuck out to me all this time because it was so cool how he said he messed around with his pedals randomly live, and everything else he said was really cool too

[dxbJono]

Love these videos. Helps me out a lot

[bioskooop]

Great tutorial Mike, I love your style. I've seen many of your tut vids over the years and i have learned so much from watching you. You might not agree but your style has always seemed is quite disciplined, technically sounds and well thought out. You've been a huge inspiration, Thanks you! You guys must please come to South Africa someday!!

[GlitcHead]

shit on my tits, I would sure love to see Mike do more of these tutorials. thank you oh so much :)

[Nielleko]

That solo gives me chills. Thanks for sharing this tutorial!

[gogators432]

mike, i like your method of writing solos

[follertdaniel]

'you can recognize that chord from Seasons in the Abyss". This dude KNOWS HIS CHORDS

[SkittlezGTI]

@follertdaniel he knows where they're played but has no idea what they're called lol i love it

[wwe2dragon]

@alexnaff360 why would they get they're old bassist just to teach a tutorial? That doesn't make any damn worth of sense

[4420caligirl]

Neato!

[bungie17]

I will love to have this videos into a new DVD. Mike you rock my music life!!

[plujinbeibe]

I love these tutorials. Upload more, please!

[deejaysuave]

Dude's officially a genius

[Cheesenipp6]

That tone... wow.

[alexnaff360]

Ya know what tutorial you need? Dirk teachin' somethin' heavy like,... uhhh,... Certain Shade of Green or Sink Beneath the Line. The verse part to Green has been giving me trouble and the solo for Sink I also can't get. Ben is a great bassist, I just prefer Dirk. Also, Mike, you're great! Keep being awesome!
