  • So true. I've been teaching for years, and just about every young kid comes with a electric guitar and wants to either play Metallica or AC/DC. The only ones who have ever really found their way in music and guitar are the ones who listened when I taught them blues. Everything rock and roll revolves around the blues. The chord progressions, solos, scales, rhythm. It's the root of all. Once you understand the blues everything else comes 100% easier.

  • That is tone!

  • I'll learn the blues when blues guys start learning metal. You gotta get out of your lame pentatonic boxes and 12 bar cut and paste rhythms sometime, fellas! I like blues, I can play blues, but the condescending attitude bothers me. Blues style playing isn't the only style of guitar playing with 'emotion' and 'feeling.' Just because you don't understand shred/metal/whatever doesn't mean it is devoid of emotion.

  • people who cant even play anything but muddy bugging metal crap stop hating on gambale and others by labling them as mindless shredders this is soul ! nothing any screamo.hardcore band could ever get a sense of frank is so right people these days should be learning the blues govan ,moore, holdsworth etc

  • the anti-aliasing on his head sucks. still great video man !

  • i don't wanna play anymore...

  • TABS TABS TABS??????????????

  • I miss the wig he used to wear.

  • @CamHawesMusic011 I love the blues too and mostly agree with you, but ac/dc isn't a bad place to start learning simple things. Angus has good phrasing and a lot of there older music is based around blues riffs so I'm not sure what you mean. And yes mrusedbooks... scott henderson is good ;)

  • He's a great player, but why is his tone always so nasty?

  • @em0p0wa says the person whos a fag!
