Im trying to learn this, but with my guitar i can play 3 notes with left hand, I cant open my hand enough so i tap 2 notes with my right hand. It's my fault and there's some trick or it's just that dificult? I cant play it well while sitting.

Apologize for my english, and thanks, great video!!

@112358miau Using two fingers is a great way to play the notes if you can't manage the stretch. Whatever works for your hands, also that way you make it your own way of playing lick :)

If you really want to try with one finger tapping check your thumb placement for the left hand stretch, needs to be really low to allow the fingers of the left hand to be able to reach, but as I say you don't *have* to play it that way. Everyone is different :)

how can you figure it out man, its just to quick for my ear.

[mastertheguitar]

I was lucky enough to be shown by the man himself at a clinic how to play the the string skipped tapped lick :).

Is that an ESP vintage?

[mastertheguitar]

heya, it's a Suhr Pro Series S3 :)

every single one of your lessons are like 95 % perfect. right down to the distortions....choice of guitar...suggestions on keeping integrity in the riffs, licks, and melodies. Nobodies perfect though...so I say...you're only not using the same guitar! :o ) ....but everything else is same. You Tubers owe you thanks ! THANK YOU!

great lesson great teacher!!....thanks! hope i can play this song

[TheHornet79]

I cannot do it :( My pinky is to small to reach all the way up and the body is keeping me from getting any higher(if you have seen a Gibson E335 you know what I am talking about) Oh well time to buy a Vigier.

Thanks for all the help with Guthrie's songs its helped me a lot I wish I could meet him too you're so lucky

[Despond]

Great teaching, Guthrie is a legend. You're perfectly correct how that lick is more unique changing up the tempo rather than a constant speed which most "shredders" feel has to be done. Guthrie has a perfect contrast of tempo and speed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this lesson. This is most amazing lick ever by guthrie =)
