    Hey gang! I noticed I made a "mouth typo" during the naming of chords during '18 And Life.'
    The correct progression is C#m9-Asus2#11-Emaj7-Badd11.
    I have no idea why I said "Aadd11" for that last chord, but I did.
    Don't worry, I hate making mistakes as much as anyone, so that little typo bothers me ten times more than it bothers you - sorry!
    : ) haha!
    Rock on!

    Skid Row blew my 13yr old mind. So much so that I wanted to name my son Sebastian. LoL! To this day my favourite song by SR is Mudkicker and listen to both albums regularly. The vocal SB delivers in Midnight is astounding. Sadly, no one sings that way anymore.
    Great playing Dave!

    For one moment I thought this might be the Irish band Skid Row from the early seventies featuring a 17 year old Gary Moore who blew my 14 year old mind when I saw them live in 1971. Not that I am casting any aspersions on the Skid Row looked at in this particular episode. Excellent as ever.

    I saw the original Skid Row in Chicago as an opener for TenYears After in 1970.Gary Moore on guitar. They later sold the name to these newer guys for what I recall as $30,000. The show was at an old exhibition center and seemed enormous. It was known as the Syndrome and the Kinetic Playground.The bill was 3pc organ think ELP, Quatermass, Skid Row, If,an English jazz/rock group Mylon Lefevre and TYA. 5 bands $4.00. Thanks for being a good teacher!

    At the end of the 80s I was young and very impressed by the explosive solo on the song "i remember you". There, too, this aggressive pinch harmonics use. Great lesson. You conveyed the change of the route notes with the harmonies really well. Thanks and i wish a nice weekend for all 🎸🙂

    Between Vito Bratta and Scotti Hill I was pushed from piano class in high school to electric guitar. They were the “Gateway” artists, with them came the bands that I had written off as impossible to imitate such as Maiden and Metallica, Malmsteen, etc. These guys don’t pitch harmonics as often as Dime or Wilde, but their placement is everything to the tune. Keep going strong Dave, love your posts.

    Really cool stuff. Definitely grew up on some Skid Row as well. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Motivated me to go work on some of these riffs. And what's so cool is finding little parts along the journey that you throw into your own stuff. Things you probably would never found had you not been checking out these riffs.

    @jamesnorton7601 3 года назад +9

    I was thinking about the Row the other day Dave. They definately had a way of using pinch's and bar dips that were great. Wasted Time has an interesting progression in it. And the solo in that song is very creative. Cool lesson. And I still think they had the best guitar sounds for a two guitarists band in the 80's -90's. Better than Queensryche's guitar sounds. And that saying something

    Always loved Skid Rows material! Sebastian’s vocal range and raw voice just put the band on the map. All of the other members, Rachel, Dave and Scotty are amazing musicians/guitarists. I’m glad they broke through with “18 and Life” and “I Remember You”. Also side note: in an interview with Rachel in 2019 he said that Jon Bon Jovi loved I Remember You as a ballad so much he told all the Skid Row guys, “I have to sing on this track” and Rachel and the producer said go ahead and lay down an vocal harmony on the track and if you listen to the ending of the “I remember” in the outro you can CLEARLY hear Jon’s vocal harmony over Sebastian’s higher vocal. I can not unhear it now and I’ve heard the song 1,000 times! Check it out pretty cool little Rachel shared for those who maybe didn’t know. 👍🏼
    Awesome stuff as always Dave! Love your technique and teaching man. You’re a straight beast! Keep the up the awesome videos! 🤘🏼🔥

    Saw Skid Row open for GnR back in the day. Slave to the Grind just came out. We were all still waiting for Use Your Illusion 1 and 2. On those first two Skid Row albums, they were young, hungry, and full of p*ss and vinegar. Even though Bach is a knucklehead, it is not Skid Row without him on vocals.

  • @swvastories3498
    @swvastories3498 3 года назад

    Slave to the Grind is their best work! Quicksand Jesus and In a Darkened Room are amazing songs! The rest of the album is great as well. A lot of people were expecting a carry over from the first album but Slave came out at a time in my life when I needed something heavy. Still love it to this day! Great job as always David.

    Quicksand Jesus is a great song - they tune the 5th string up to C because that's the b6 of the E minor key they are in and as you show they use the root and the b6 as a drone for the chord progression. The only play to play it on guitar is to have the open string tuned to that note or you can't play it and keep it droning as they do.

    I remember seeing Skid Row in Belfast in the 90's. Spitting was a thing the punks used to do, and there were a lot of punks in the audience. Sebastian got spat on a lot. Then, he had enough and told the crowd to, once and for all, get it out of their system or the band walks off stage. He stood there, arms open and it literally looked like it rained on him. Disgusting, but there was no more spitting after. Fair play to Sebastian.

    I saw Skid Row about 1996 open for Guns n Roses in New Zealand. Skid Row were absolutely awesome live! they certainly had it, a really tight live act with a lot of power.
    Conversely Guns n Roses were really disappointing,. actually other than Slash, they were crap, loose tired and didnt give a F**k. Axl's pathetic BS got booed and jeered in NZ
