ZAKK WYLDE-SPEEDBALL

[Schizophrenia222]

but can he play smoke on the water?

[lightxgrenade]

@Schizophrenia222 trick question! Zakk is the reason there's smoke on the water in the first place!

[Satchfan96]

and why does jimmy gayge get all the attention? playing a few notes over and over while bending them does not compare to this. zakk wylde is the sheet.

[am1933]

AHHHH! some people are sooooo good - they should have both their hands broken with a large sledge hammer!, Zakk is one such person.

Trouble is - the sledge hammer would probably shatter into a million pieces, then each one of the million pieces would shatter into a million pieces!

[dojabreath11]

@am1933 not only that but all millions of those peices would appologize to him for the inconvinience

[ChrisbCrusty]

zakk is god

[TacoMan124019323]

55 people are drummers LOL

[voltvre]

@TacoMan124019323...... 55 pleople are stvpids!!!!!jajajaja!!!!!

[samonmanify]

@TacoMan124019323 55 people wish they could do this.

[chefmastershake]

@samonmanify 56, But I didn't thumb down the master!

[Ozzie9877]

I Think T.A.Z. from BLS album sonic brew is better.. Stil good though

[Chilame1]

all hail thor and his mighty axe!

[wolfgange63]

@Chilame1 Nice analogy ... He does look like he could be THOR

[paulys461]

@wolfgange63 Thor used a hammer by the way

[wolfgange63]

@paulys461 yes and Zakk can hammer a guitar very well! The guitar and the hammer is a tool to piece things together ... whether it is wood or music.

[prjn5887]

I cannot figure out what he's doing at 0:10. His second and third finger are moving up and down on the d and g strings?

[leatherneck1093]

What a terrible guitarist. Is this supposed to impress me? He is just awful.

[dill2528]

@leatherneck1093 you dirty, filthy troll :P

[leatherneck1093]

@dill2528 I'm not trolling. I'm just not impressed with the pentatonic scale played fast. I'm no better, but he's so overrated compared to guys like Petrucci, Batio, and Satriani.

[dill2528]

@leatherneck1093 ohh hehe ok yer your very correct about everything :)

[vft98]

@leatherneck1093 what!!!!! lol u were obviously drunk or something when u wrote this. so i understand haha

[MusicMan44144]

ok zakk is amazing and all that... BUT WHY THE FUCK DOES HE ALWAYS HAVE TO SHRED?!?! after 10 min maximum listening to him i get tired!! couldn't he play more melodical solos like farewell ballad too?

[WyldeChild95]

@MusicMan44144 i agree in a way but zakk is a fucking god no matter how he plays man

[Anechoica]

Cool!

[Mikael45831]

@starrdoom hey, bro'!! Do you have the BLS app???

[Olhor10]

0:54 MONSTER BICEPS!!!

[997decio]

WOW!!!

[loverofjesus24]

one of THE best, EVER... bye the way, who are the jackasses that

voted negative?, why i  outta....

[FearTheFourHorsemen]

@loverofjesus24 Don't worry, Mr. Wylde will take care of them.

[doomcrewsatan666]

My Idol =)

[Ozwald1288]

wooow q poder!!

[livesimpledreambig]

DAMN

[fnhostile13]

the album version is acoustic( unplugged)

[lucass098ace1]

damn i wonder what else he does with them fingers :L

[42littlebit]

I just shit a taco... this was great

[86T60]

why the fuck does everyone always bitch about the squeals and harmonics?? is it jealousy cause they cant do it or what? its a fuckin awesome sound and zakk works it like crazy, it adds a nice rock touch. lots and lots and lots of guitarists do it jus not as often, but its in his style and he likes it so...appreciate it.

[Cigmcpuffy]

@86T60 Well there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Playing live, Zakk sometimes goes a bit overboard with the squealies. When almost every other note is a pinch harmonic, it can lose its impact, if not become outright annoying.

[dpjpro]

God SAVE THE STRINGS!!!!!!!!!!

[injunboy5150]

Practicing CLEAN is how guitar players can play with such good articulation. It's because they KNOW they play it right.

[starrdoom]

it's a gibson not an epiphone.

[Scaar81]

WTF !

[soothsayer1985]

Buckethead and Zak are fuckin sooo bad ass!!

[RobotFollower]

Wow he's actually playing fast on an unplugged guitar? COOL!

[JonteTheMan1]

@RobotFollower lol it is plugged in and you dont play slower on an unplugged

[ojideagu]

@RobotFollower Some guitars can not be played like this unplugged as their bodies do not produce enough volume. Gibson guitars like in this video have a large body so it's possible to play to them to a degree unplugged.

[sailonstellarwinds]

@ojideagu It's not unplugged.

[ojideagu]

@sailonstellarwinds I actually thought that! Was dumb enough to believe somebody saying its unplugged lol

[motorhead1995able]

IS IT AN EPIPHONE WITH EMGS ?

[CitySkateboards]

@motorhead1995able if you see zakk wylde and theres a guitar in his general vicinity, it has EMGs in it haha

[brylidan]

WW TTTT FF !!!!!! oh myyyyy god !!!!!

[masibubu]

fast crap

[ImmortalSoul39]

finzfan92 I dont know for the talent, but I really want his guitar! lol

[roscomcq]

apparently zakk says this is about as fast/good as he gets

[bigrobjordan15]

50 people can only play slowball lol

[MrTennis234]

Can this 50 people play this better?

[t1thausand]

%-0

[SlippstersVideos]

WOW !

[autoeroticruler]

:0 wow! I'd hav to lyk put on tonnes of distortion to even sound remotely close to dat but he can lyk do it clean how???!!! AAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!!

[demonwolf7]

is there a lesson for this cause i cant bloody figure this out by tab its too much

[UltraDaveDude]

@demonwolf7 Yea, it's fucking insane.

[killajohn98]

If Zakk Wylde and Eddie Van Halen and Kirk Hammett had a 3 some with like the hottest chick in the world and she had a boy and a girl that those kids would GOD!!!!!!!!

[fragrenade1]

@killajohn98 I'd leave out Kirk Hammett, I'm not a fan

[dantimlfc]

this man is fuckin awesome

[stewy628]

gay???

[stewy628]

gay?

[Felsen2010]

His picking hand is epic...

[legomanxd449]

The end was sexy.

[TMegS1414]

wowness

[Lusus420]

WOW. That's all I need to say.

[dannyhood66]

You know i can play this on acoustic on a good day and the same speed almost..Its like zakk made it easy by using electric whatever''.But starting from 0.38 till the end is a mother fucker,''i mean i got to be on it to play it clean. Feel right,''cause my left hand is so wore out..For the most part it ends a little sloppy on my big ass jumbo flying burrito mexican guitar..I don't know where he got the end licks from? Django reinhardt (i cant spell) or some hard shit similar..

[farber2]

soul mate of ted nugent. different but same.

[bluesboydude]

is hair is LONG O_o

[bersercs5]

What tune is it, Eb?

[Calz4]

@bersercs5 (C# G# C# F# A# D#) i think

[dannyhood66]

@bersercs5 E flat or maybe lower?

[Californiaguitar86]

damn this sounds real ugly

[MrKindaSux]

i think Zakk is the only one that can win chuck norris at something.

[JohnACorp782]

@MrKindaSux Not the only one. Jack Bauer does it too. Chuck is just overrated.

[jclp81]

@MrKindaSux hell yeah.. he would definately win against chuck in a dick sucking contest! or would he?

[osamabinpawning123]

@MrKindaSux omg are you serious? Zakk Wylde is Chuck Norris' stage name.....

[MegaMetalhead77]

Holy Santa Clause shit, that is epic.

[zbhelm]

love this shit

[VendettaMax]

Wonderful, genious...

[fadetoblack1290]

This is Zakk's 'Dee'. Except on speed (no pun intended).

Okay....pun intended.

[7monkeyman8]

holy balls

[mojofakkman]

I wonder why you try so fuckin hard to claim your spot as a #1 fan and mention dumb ass observations like that. Shutup bitch

[SalandFindles]

I wonder where his Black Label Society and Los Angeles patches were on the right side of his vest.

[MRKanister2006]

buy weed not here im too stoned now to cleen my house window like that?

[OuTRunner12]

hes a fucking machineloves the bluesy toned ending

[OuTRunner12]

hes a fucking machine

[derico12345]

LOL for once no pinch harmonics!

[andybella]

@derico12345 LMFAO.  Excellent.

[lukassabbe]

@derico12345 haha there is one, at 0:08

[Switch1625]

@lukassabbe no

[lukassabbe]

@Switch1625 yes, but you can't hear it without distortion, he touch the snare and you only here the harmonics, it's just a pinch harmonic without distortion.

[Switch1625]

@lukassabbe Its not a pinch harmonic, what he did is regular old harmonics

[brandoncarrier1]

badass ive been looking for this

[Satcherson]

my cover od zakk wylde's solo :D /watch?v=iPrEIOKI6tc

[Cubekiller04]

Okay, i have been looking on some covers of this solo,song or whatever, and NO ONE can do that solo perfect

[transformed2002]

lol this is sick nasty dude

[Marshallstack3203]

@transformed2002 WHOA YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON OTHER THAN ME AND MY COUSIN THAT I'VE EVER HEARD USE SICK NASTY!

[bandyman12]

ehhhh, It's not hard to play penatonic scales. This is all he does, and put a pinch harmonic on the end of everything

[slimebolt09]

@bandyman12 yeah but he makes millions playing pentatonic scales.... he knows more than that obvs. but pentatonic scales fit in the best for solos with metal songs. some of tony iommi, kirk hammet and randy rhoads was based of pentatonic scales also

[hokuspokusfokus12345]

@bandyman12 ... Yeah, but in almost all of his training and promo vids he ADMITS that he loves playing the pentatonic scale, especially in A minor, its not all he plays though... But in rebuttal, when you play like him and sound that damn impressive, the complexity of the scale shouldnt matter, its the sound and the drive and the emotion, and he nails all of them with an 11 out of 10, he's an amazing artist and songwriter, and he plays what works for him. Im merely stating I concur with slime :D

[HiredGoonage]

@bandyman12 yeah but it still sounds amazing.  who the fuck cares what scale he plays.

[C0bfan666]

Zakk on a Banjo would be awesome lol

[Alexndr1000]

MASTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRR

[mudzor]

so much respect for zakk playing with overdrive on can hide mistakes playing clean shows so much more skill cause you hear every note played/missed

[zaboodave]

THUMBS UP IF THIS MELTED UR FACE OFF!!!! ahahahahhaha check out GUN METAL GROOVE on youtube or myspace, they have a BLS cover i came across witch was really good, sux guys like that dont get to much attention, they have a myspace with their music on it, reminds me of BLS , guitar solos are bad ass!!!

[Mrtastyful]

that was great!!!

[ninjafabi]

They ran out of amps?

[blacklabel0730]

I love how his neck is "relic'd" from his playing cause the body is shiny, but the neck is worn from all this playing. If you want a relic'd guitar, don't bash it up and sand down the paint, practice as much as zakk wylde

[tdbtmc1121]

be better if it had a metal sound to it, awesome shredding tho

[brewtality101]

0:27 and on is a fucking masterpiece. that whole section with the pull offs going down the neck.

[HigherBecker]

if i was there i would step the footswitch to drive" channel, hahahaha it must sound killer with overdrive

[123TheJoker]

why the fuck every 1 sayin he crap n all this shit he alot better than all yous put together who famous who makin more money ermm zakk is so stop bitchin yhhh

[finzfan92]

God, if I could borrow his talent for a week!

[Deathpool35]

@finzfan92 god i would die to rent half of it for a day

[linkinishparker]

@finzfan92

u can borrow his talent and become more talented than he is ....its called PRACTICE if u like zakks playing style than rip his style off and mix it up with ur own u will coe up with something new..have a good day

[genuiN4PK]

@finzfan92  i only need it a day, and i could die happy, crazy happy

[MisusedMisfit]

@finzfan92 If only I could borrow that talent for an hour

[jarvisthebox]

@finzfan92 get so much puss

[IamTheRedneck]

why would u possibly dislike this

[SuperRyan80]

WOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!! THATS REALLY AMAZING! ZAKK WYLDE IS GOD!

[Revock09]

you....are...a....GGOOODD!!!!

cant wait to see him live again...slammin beers and playing with his face...metal...

[finzfan92]

@Revock09, I can't wait to see him live again too, but I got some sour news for ya......He's 11 months sober now and I don't think that's gunna change any time soon.............But yeah! the playing with his face part, yeah! yeah! can't wait to see that! Yeah! =)

[willdroz21]

This would shitty but also more impressive with distortion.

[t1thausand]

:-0

[DIMEBAGsdmf]

Zakk wins every guitar award every year that you can win because he's the best in the world for a long time now..nobody writes like Zakk...not to mention how he writes the sickest lyrics on the face of the earth as well...Becker doesn't have half his talent..lol Jasonbecker fanboy maybe you should go comment on beckers weak vids instead of pissing off Berserkers...go fuck yourself d-bag!!

[JasonBecker85]

@DIMEBAGsdmf ahhahahaha....You are only a stupid kid....Dimebag,Wilde and sure you like Kerry King....or not?...I study and listen the MUSIC...you ''listen'' metal and maybe hard rock...kid...I'm sure you don't like fusion,jazz or progressive.....

[DIMEBAGsdmf]

@JasonBecker85 Im not a kid dickfuck im 27 lol yea so what i'm a metalhead and Dime Randy and Zakk happen to be my favorite players I grew up listening to them...you got a problem with that??

[guitardude548]

@JasonBecker85 you know which force your running up against ? its the metal you douchebag ! nothing can kill the metal ! its just impossible. and what if DIMEBAG was a little stupid kid why should you care ?? . go shove these comments up your ASS !!! D-bag . and go learn something about what you study seems like you failed down there *scrolls down and begin to laugh !* haha you sure should do standup ?

[GodOfValhalla]

@JasonBecker85 Not sure about Wilde but I think Dimebag Darrell has many talents but name a few, he sounded better live than on mastertrack, people felt his passion through the guitar,and he makes things that seem simple on tabs but difficult to play. I do not like kerry king I do like John Mayor some Keith Urban songs and my fav guitarist is Synyster Gates. Its all about preferances.

[1THETRUTH10]

@JasonBecker85 Fusion/jazz..........if u are listening or playing that stuff, take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself what went wrong?? Childhood bullying,parents split....probs with drugs.....dude you can escape.....just learn the riff to smoke on the water,play it real loud through a marshall stack,ask satan to take your soul.....and maybe,just maybe, you will be free from the virus that is JAZZ/FUSION!

[krankank]

@1THETRUTH10 VHT Stack*

[1THETRUTH10]

@krankank I just checked out the VHT....fucking blew me away...I want one! How much is it gonna cost me..lol.

[krankank]

@1THETRUTH10 Hahaha, brand new they're over $3g. I got my VHT Ultralead used in mint condition for $1500. Couldn't be happier!

[shadzzz441791]

@JasonBecker85 I listen to everything you just mentioned. Yes, I'm a jazz junkie. Yes, I study jazz as well. And from what I've learned, learning the rules and boundaries is useless unless you can break past those boundaries. Zakk Wylde and Dimebag are perfect examples of that.

[Altitudes11]

He's using the minor scale and its modes (mostly phrygian). there's hardly any pentatonic in this at all.. If you can't hear that, you're tone deaf. And if you can't see that from looking at his fingers, then you REALLY don't know what youre talking about. Go back to your elitist shrapnel records

[JasonBecker85]

He is the tuning version of Slash.

[JasonBecker85]

It's not flamenco....it's an horrible tentative to use armonic minor

[kiffy1990]

ALL HAIL ZAKK <3

[taradead]

dude can definitely shred. Pretty cool little arrangement, too.

[sallesbuild]

muito foda !

[ejh94]

what about turn up the volume on the amp?

[MetalMoniyet]

holy shit! he did with ONE pick what paco did with FIVE fingers! 

[JasonBecker85]

HORRIBLE.

[RubensGuitarist]

@JasonBecker85 your mother is horrible zakk no man. zakk is fucking awsome !!!

[JasonBecker85]

@RubensGuitarist You are not a musician if you say that....babe

[DIMEBAGsdmf]

@JasonBecker85 sorry fag but Zakk wrote more epic songs in one month then becker has written in his entire carreer....go fuck yourself

[JasonBecker85]

@DIMEBAGsdmf AHhahahahahhah....I see you never study anything about music...Fisrt STUDY music and AFTER talk about music kid.

[Kabigtry]

@JasonBecker85 You think it's horrible? Then next time try to watch this video with sound:D Or if you're deaf then don't comment music videos:)

[JasonBecker85]

@Kabigtry Next time try to study something about music and that horribles pentatonics... ;)...And also listen to the real musicians

[Altitudes11]

@JasonBecker85 Dude, he's not playing pentatonics in this.

Come back when you actually know what the fuck you're talking about.

[JasonBecker85]

@Altitudes11 Really?Can you tell me what kind of scales are these?cmon...Armonic Minor??Melodic Minor?Dimished?...come back when you learn somthing about music.

[Altitudes11]

@JasonBecker85 By the way. You DO know that jason becker uses pentatonics in a few of his songs right..? I have all of his records. he is very good. and he uses pentatonics... especially on the David Lee Roth album he played on. If you were a true fan, you would know that.

[JasonBecker85]

@Altitudes11 Depend how do you play pentatonics...Try to listen Blues Saraceno and Slash....They play pentatonics but you can here and study the difference....Also Jason,Paul Gilbert and Steve Vai play pentatonic but can you listen how the play that?!However versatility is the key....Jason can plays amazing phrasing with pentatonics (ex:a drop in a bucket) and many other scales...(like the japanese and esaphonic)...Try to study Concerto by Cacophony or Serrana by Jason...(sorry for my english)

[DIMEBAGsdmf]

@JasonBecker85 you know so much about music but noone knows who you are..another no name shit talker...sorry faggot but 1919 Eternal is more of a masterpiece then anything Becker has written PERIOD...he was never talented enough to play guitar,Sing write sicko lyrics and sicko solos..fuck off homo u know NOTHING!!

[JasonBecker85]

@Altitudes11 It's an horrible tentative to do armonic minor....

[bluebelt224]

The tone sounds like Eddie Van Halen's Spanish Fly song

[Kobe8taco]

shit.....i mean.....look at those biceps

[bonnyguitar]

He is clean,fast and he's got a excellent sense of melody.

HE IS THE MODERN JIMI HENDRIX.

[ShockWaveIAHD]

@bonnyguitar He s a great guitarist but he s not the modern Hendrix , not same styles ,different times , not same life ;)

[bonnyguitar]

@ShockWaveIAHD Yes,yes, I just wanted to say that he has a great talent.

Sorry for my english but i'm italian.

[ShockWaveIAHD]

@bonnyguitar oh sorry man ;) according with you he s great in his style :D

(i m belgian)

[bonnyguitar]

@ShockWaveIAHD Don't worry, I understand .

Continues to listen to good music!

[Rocknroller5555]

@guitarsforeveryone

I highly doubt it would be easier flamenco style since alot is ridiculous speeds on one string which is much easier to pick, and zakk is already an insane picker so flamenco would be harder

[guitarsforeveryone]

The amazing thing about this is that this would be muuuuch easier to play finger style (think classical/flamenco) so the fact he plays it with a pick really ups the difficulty. Zakk's just freakin' killer!

[nickkcin75]

godamth thats good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[RoyalSlaughter]

Even if he's not like thebest shreder around his skills are always impresive

[TheRocklife13]

does zakk whylde les pauls are standard or studio?

[MetalMilitia7771]

@TheRocklife13 custom model

[TheRocklife13]

@MetalMilitia7771 ok thankyou:)

[guitarimprover1]

grrrr wish i was this good lol.

[kickflipperland12]

this is intense

[PenTaTonikLC]

Emasing guitarmen!
