terrible lesson. i cant believe this, a guy making a video and expecting everyone would know how to play it. HELLO thisnis youtube its full of beginners and they want so see what frets to play not your bald head!

@0Phantomcrest0 hmmmmmm you're a 15 yr old beginner... you claim to be able to play this yet why are you here ? lets see you play it ...come on, we're all waiting.. ah, wait you have no videos of your own.. what a pity you sad little insulting shit.. a little advice.. my lessons are for those what already know how to play that dont need me to spell out fret numbers etc all day long, obviously not for likes of you.. go elsewhere and while you're at it learn some manners

[MrBenIPresume]

look, you amateur "ooh i got my first guitar, let me learn my first advanced-level solo!!!" newbs, this guy's teaching is perfect for guitarists at the APPROPRIATE level, so don't dislike the video because if you need to see what he's picking note-by-note up close, you're OBVIOUSLY not at the precise level for playing this solo yet. excellent video

@MrBenIPresume thank you, this is what I;ve been trying to get across !! some just don't get it

@MrBenIPresume

i have been playing the guitar for 7 years i have 8 guitars and i can play much more complicated solos that this one but i need someone 2 go through the notes i might be able 2 learn it from this vid but it would take ages to work out

[JOHNNYG99X]

@TheSamShowOfficial try using your ear.. if as you say you can play more complex solos, then this should be a doddle.. right ?

I hate it!!!!!

Not a very good tutorial, disappointed MR. :(

[omfg51]

wow i love the way you bend and vibrato your notes, sounds awesome

[marcosanguiano]

THIS IS SUCH A BAD TUTORIAL! You need to explain the frets and everything you bald man! NAW! Just fucking with you my man. This was a very very good tutorial. I caught on, thanks to you, I can now perform the solo in my up coming concert. Cheers my friend!

I think this is an awesome tutorial I've been trying hard to learn songs by ear. I can do this a ton more efficiently when you play the solo by parts. great job!

[christianjohnson12]

most of youtube are followers they read something some says and just start hating i bet this guy can play better than u : i hate all the followers ur a bit**

Lol I got solution to prob edit tabs in upper part of screen where there is ceiling. That way beginers will be able to know what notes to play.

@JOHNNYG99X - 'Preciate your come-back to the 'phantom'! Good lesson on the HC lead, btw. Tutorials that put the viewer thru what I call 'Chordie Kindergarden' with every finger position, while perfectly suited for the beginners, drive me NUTS! There are plenty of elementary vids out there, so your little buddy (phantom) should have no problem finding ample material to spoon-feed his 'yet to develop' skill level. Unfortunately, it's unlikely to help his shitty little attitude!

I agree with the uploader. It's more fun and a better learning experience if you try and pick up tabs on YOUR OWN, I transcribed lots of songs I liked that weren't even for guitar, and I haven't played long, and I've never had a single lesson, completely self taught. All of the pros today had in common that they would try and learn a song by ear. This is a little better because you can get a rough idea of where the right frets are to play, it doesn't take all the fun out of it.
