Mick mars is super underrated!!
No he isn't! Why? He is the guitarist in the most glamorous and notorious metal band of all time! Can you be any more +rated? I dont think so.. he is one of the top players of our generation. None less
Oh Right except “underraterd”
He's no hendrix or evh, but everybody thinks Motley crue has a really good guitarist they just don't know who he is
@@tassobear I wouldn't really consider Motley Crue Metal, really. It isn't a good representation of it.
@@mriggs596 it is metal
Mick is the one who made me pick up a guitar. His playing is so tight and locked in. A true guitar God.
Dame as me mick was the reason
Me too
Same exact situation
Same here. I don't strive to play like him. I never could in a million years! But I've always strived for his tone. His tone on the first two records is my gold standard for tone.
Mick is the man!

This video inspired me to trash a hotel room. Now I'm being sued by Marriott.
Joe Walsh would be proud of you :)
It inspired me to trash this guy’s Jackson paint job...
lol
You go girl
Holy crap dude your hilarious!😂
Mick is the most underrated rock guitar player. Watching him live three times was truly a treat.
Mick is so underrated. Hes a beast. That's why Nikki has a tattoo of him on his body and not Tommy or vince. Lol. But seriously. Mick is so bluesy its sick. Great vid
bluesy?
The reason he does not have Vince ...he does not have enough skin space
@@CP-kb1du bro..💀💀 why is it always the lead vocals that get bigger and shi like Axl rose he got bigger and he got that Micah mustache
Mick was a very underrated player. His sound was Motley Crue.
Thank you very much for this lesson. Mick is so underrated as a player though he is one of a kind. No one could ever take his job and the Crew knew that, so they quit.
iloveitall Mick is anything but Underrated. He has a fucking movie about him for christ sakes 😂
Fletch McCoy well you dont hear too many people saying that mick mars is in their favorite guitarists 😄 at least i havent
Mick is so awesome! Looking forward to his album!
Mick Mars is absolutely underrated. The movie was about Crue, and with most things about Crue it's always about Tommy, Vince and Nikki. He was always about avoiding the limelight and bringing the riffs. Jake E. Lee replacing Mick? Even Jake said that would have been stupid.if you dont know what I'm talking about, look into it. I was shocked too.
Correcting myself: Obviously John5 can do - live at least.
I found this video 30 years to late, but it's still amazing to see Micks techniques so clearly explained.
Mick Mars downstrokes are brutal. I watched a video of a guy doing their cover of Helter Skelter and he used alternate strokes. It sounded like hell.
Mick Mars is a legend. We're all so blessed to have been around while he was in the Crüe
everyone should watch the mötley Crüe movie "the dirt"
Well not everyone it's actually 18+...…still a good movie
It was lame.
Read the book it was some much better. The film should have been more like a three part film 2 to 3 hours for each decade.
I'm 13 and i watched it yesterday.
I've seen it probably somewhere around 50 times... Maybe more... Call me crazy, it's ok. I can recite pretty much the whole thing. It's a great movie and I never get sick of it 😂💜
@@OK-sq2oi 14 but Same
it's so good
Mick Mars is such a great player, he doesn’t really get enough credit
Man you CONSISTENTLY make my heart happy and my brain full. I love your channel!
Oh YAY! Mick Mars is a personal hero of mine. Not so much the playing, more the fact that I have Ankylosing Spondilitis like him. Now I get to look a bit into his playing. Thanks! :)
Just looked into it and insane how he managed to pull off a rock career with a fused back. Best of luck to you
Honestly, Mick was the reason Mötley Crüe lasted for so long, along with Nikki's writing.
Thanks! Mick is a fabulous guitarist. I have always wondered why more people don't talk about him. 👍✨
Probably because there was an oversaturation of similar guitarists in hair metal. Jake E Lee, EVH, and a few others. He had some cool riffs for sure.
I don't play guitar, but your videos are interesting to watch.
Same here!!
Try picking one up maybe there is a reason
Some of the riffs on shout at the devil are perfect. Too young to fall in love is a good example.
Incredibly comprehensive! This video is going to get hundreds of thousands of views. I'm glad to have found another great guitar teacher on RUclips. Subscribed!
Mick Mars should get the recognition he deserves. He's created some iconic riffs.
Awesome video, The Dirt got me to play Motley for the first time and now I've been LOVING standard D and the heavy tone and spicy riffs (basically everything Mick Mars).
You're video put the fine touch on the tabs ive been learning from.
So much goodness in this demo! Thanks for sharing!🙏🤘
Great video! And really nice to see the level of respect you have for his playing and technique
I love Mick Mars! Very underrated but very badass 🤘🎩
I truly enjoyed this. I learned more in this video than most tutorials. Thank you. Mick Mars is so awesome!
Mick is the most underrated guitarist of that era. Great video.
One of the best guitar teachers I've ever seen. Thank you!
Awesome video dood. Finally subscribed cuz of it. These type of videos help me, a intermediate with no formal lessons player like myself, play cool stuff like this.
Great job, love watching your videos, so calm and easy to listen to
Man thank you Ive learned a few things. Not able to soak it all in but definetly stuff that I wasnt savy with. You sound and play excellent.
Mick would be proud to see you teaching his technique
wow. dude this is an excellent lesson - wish i had this video when i started 20 years ago!!! respect for your smooth technique and just giving this stuff away 4 free.
Love Mick Mars and you sharing this tips, tricks and techniques. Subscribed!
You took my suggestion!! U starred my request on the weezer video!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks man. Awesome video! Mick's guitar work was what inspired me to want to learn guitar. I heard Theatre of Pain back in 1985, and a 10 year old kid was mesmerized. And again, 2 years later on Girls, Girls, Girls. Also, in 1987 I began my journey learning guitar. Thanks Mick!
Amazing man. Great teacher 🙌🏼 Mick Mars is a beast!
I played in a Motley Crue tribute band as well! I still got my crazy long hair to this day. Live Wire was fun as hell to play live.
The first 30 minutes of this video were great! Keep it up!
I absolutely love inverted fifths those and sus4 or sus2 chords add some mutes or even chorus and distortion boom 80s rock
I find it interesting that people miss out on great tech because they don’t like a band or it’s not their thing but even if you are not a huge fan many great bands have amazing techniques you can improve with
And just because we do or don’t connect with a band doesn’t make the great or not
Because of this many great players are written off or over looked
Thanks for the vid sure to be many great techniques here
Great job man! Mars is my all-time favorite guitarist!
I love these videos so much, i’ve already learned a ton. I hope you do a video on Graham Coxon one day, i’d be interested in it for sure!
That is one of the best videos you've ever done. Thank you!
Riding the "Dirt" wave...but not complaining! I've always liked Mick's playing. His solos in Starry Eyes blew my mind years ago and to this day it's still my favourite Crue song.
Wish you'd do Alex Skolnick or Glenn Tipton...
Great Video. I love Mick Mars’ playing style.
He has a unique way of blending traditional bluesy techniques into Rock/Metal songs.
I was just learning Wildside and Girls,Girls,Girls yesterday. My band already cover Dr Feelgood and Kickstart My Heart.
As mentioned in other comments, Mick is possibly one of the most underrated guitarist/songwriters of the 80’s & 90’s.
He has written some of the most iconic riffs of those periods!!!!
My favourite song is Primal Scream!!!!
Keep up the great videos!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great stuff. I just learned Wildside and wrapping up Girls Girls Girls. Mick was the man in the 80s. Also trying to learn the art of improvisation. Thanks for the videos.
22:54
That's what she said
This isnt getting enough attention. hahaha
I was this close to pinning it. haha
The-Art-of-Guitar pin it!
He mean't his sandwich maker 😂
I have watched your video many times and learn many things mick is an 100% legend
Thank you
Dude thankyou so much for this video it taught me how to do all the things I couldn’t on guitar I didn’t have a clue how these guys were doin it
great job! Mick made Motley sound so much more full!
Mick made the band Motley Crue sound awesome period man!!
I like Mick Marrs playing a lot, very underrated player. And he loves Jeff Beck, he said nobody plays like Jeff Beck.
I recently got int Crue, kinda ignoring them for a while until ive heard theyre making a move. First album i've tried was shout at the devil. Dude, that intro riff got me straight away. Not the most complex songs (literally 3 same chords in many songs), but man they hype you up!
Learned so much from this! Thanks.
Mick Mars is awesome. He can do things with his techniques that you can't figure out. When he plays live you can watch him and he camouflages a lot of them. Leaves you just scratching your had.
Been playing guitar over 30 years(though i quit for about 15 after my guitarist/best friend died), I always learn something new or something i completely forgot... Learning the 2nd time was actually harder... Thanks...
To say you're a talented guitarist would be a massive understatement - Great video
Ohhh Just learned some new stuff on Micks style. Been getting back into some Crue after building a guitar for Crimson Guitars Great Guitar Build Off competition. Will be coming back here to get some of this down to improve my lack of skill and knowledge hehe. Love your videos and the chill way you present things without that whole "rock Star I play guitar" attitude and remember what its like starting out.
Right cool Mike! I'm glad that Motley movie came out (I haven't seen it yet) but there's tons of great Mick lessons out there because out it! Awesome bro, thank you much!! 🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼👍
Helllll yeah!!!! Great instructor!! I can't wait to try this stuff!!!🤟🤟🤟
Great Vid Mike, not alot of people properly cover The Crue
BS Sessions How hard could that possibly be??? They're a joke of a band musicianshipwise. Tommy Lee is probably the best outta them.
inspectorbudget lol, spot the non-musician. Try playing Kickstart My Heart as energetically as Mick. His rhythm tone is out of this world.
Mick Mars is a fantastic guitar player. Sure, he doesn't do anything fancy technique-wise, but he is as solid as they come. The easiest way to put it is, Mick Mars serves the song that he is playing. Three piece band, so he had to be smart with his solos and any mid-song lead lines. As someone who has been playing guitar for 26 years and teaching lessons for 13 or 14, I can comfortably say that Mars is a very good and underrated guitar player. He didn't need to play 2 minute long solos to show how good he was. That wouldn't have worked in a 3 piece like Motley. Covering Motley songs are a lot like covering AC\DC songs. As in the sense that they sound easy to cover and it is easy to play all of the notes. But to do it properly and/or to sound like Mick, it takes a lot of skill. Saying that he is 'solid' is probably the best way to sum him up, actually. It is kind of like Phil Rudd's drumming. Take it away and the band totally changes and no one can perfect replicate it.
...any non-fans out there should listen to the 'Home Sweet Home' guitar solo to hear a guitar solo that serves the song perfectly. Not difficult to play..but you can sing it, it fits, it suits he song and he doesn't simply mimick or follow the vocal melody that so many ppl do with their solos.
Mick Mars is legit.
@@inspectorbudget post a video of you playing and show us how its done boy!
Ya, Micks style was kinda relaxed in a way!! Just so unique.
Great informative video dude, on Mick's style. He s a true master on guitar and I hope he's doing good health wise, for there upcoming tour. Great Axe Slinger!
This video helped me so much I was doing unison bends wrong amd couldn't figure out why. Now I know it because I was bending both notes at the same time
thanks man already learning because of you
Great video man good choice of topic
This guys voice is so calm and relaxing
Extremely helpful. Thanks.
Superb tutorial!
Mick has stated that he doesn’t play by “the book”. I think it was on the Decade Of Decadence video. I’ve played a lot of his stuff from Too Fast to Feelgood and he totally is totally amazing especially live.
man thanx for this. U r unique. You really get to THE POINT!love it
What-an-awesome-video, man!!!
My up and down strokes are on point!!! Practicing since puberty!!!
I don't think I waited that long 😅😔
YESSS!
I love Motley Crue!
I just learned Dr. Feelgood a couple days ago.
The solo always makes me feel like a badass. Hahaha
Cool video....very informative and helpful ! Thanks! I love Mick Mars....one of my fav. guitarists and I think he's underrated! I know I could never play it so I don't know how hard it is to play his guitar solo for Home Sweet Home but I think that's one of the coolest most memorable solos ever! I've heard very few people actually copy it note for note and sound good....so it must be fairly difficult! Thanks again....great video!
Yardley Yardley - I just wrote a message about that solo, actually. The ' Home Sweet Home' solo is a perfect solo, in my opinion...in the sense that it perfectly suits and fits the song. It has multiple sections...all building and building.. He doesn't just follow the vocal melody, like so many ppl do with their solos. Instead, it is a great melodic piece of music that makes the song better. It isn't difficult to play, technique-wish. But it has a lot of feel and emotion, which is hard to replicate. I have played guitar for 26 years and while it isn't difficult to play the notes, it is hard to give it the feel that Mars does. I put it right up there with solos like David Gilmour's solo in Pink Floyd's, 'Comfortably Numb', as in it is as close to perfect as one can get with a guitar solo that perfectly fits, suits and complements a song. It is definitely my favorite Mick Mars guitar solo. You also have to remember that Motley is a 3 piece with a singer. So when playing live, there is no rhythm guitar when playing the solo. So it is definitely an effective solo in the sense that it doesn't seem like the whole band doesn't 'fall out' during a solo. (yes, I know they use backing tracks on some songs..but they aren't evident during that solo). Mick is a great player and doesn't get a fraction of the recognition he deserves.
Thanks man. Good lesson.
Great job covering his style!
This was great! Do one for George Lynch of Dokken and the Lynch Mob next
That was awesome, enjoyed that a lot! It's all about the songs, as not everything has to be "techincal" wizardry. Thanks for the tips on the down strokes on Live Wire! I DEFINITELY need help there!
You're not the only one
Back of the line, Brian!😆😆
awesome!..just started searching for info to help with my Mars mimicry and this pops up..thanks!
DarkLight Mick Mars is such a basic player. This shit is not hard at all.
Love these videos. Would be super awesome if you made a video about Criss Oliva techniques from Savatage. Very underrated guitar god and his unique style is very interesting. Sucks he passed back in 1993.
Love that 3rd scale at 17.00 ❤️
You should do Jason becker
Nailed his tone from "Too fast for love" Awesome!!!
Thanks for Mick... Best Rhythm Tempo Guitarist of the 80's Hair Metal... 💥💥 🎸💥💥
Thanks man this video is aweosme
Brother ur amazing and make it look so easy. I'm a drummer by nature but sooo wish I learned guitar. I repair amps and even play a bar chord to check performance. Thanks for this tutorial on "The Man Mick" \m/\m/
he did a great job doing examples of his style for sure. I have a video about Micks riffs and it has been viewed more than any of the others I have done.
Very well done!
Very well done.
There's a lot of great hard rock fundamentals here. Thanks.
Sure did just watch the dirt right on time lol. Fun video man
Awesome lesson and channel
Nice & thanks for this wonderful video. But you missed one Mick Mars's guitar technique that i call is Invisible tremolo or Invisible whammy bar & this technique is their in Mötely Crüe live wire intro of 2nd verse. Mick Mars use this technique Invisible tremolo or Invisible whammy bar on this Gibson les Paul fixed bridge guitar. & you can see this Mick Mars guitar technique called Invisible tremolo or Invisible whammy bar on Live wire live in US festival 1983.
Incredible video! Nailing these techniques of the great Mick Mars! Subscribing right tf now!
11:06 Unison Bends...I heard someone call those 'Ace Frehleys' lol so that's how I like to refer to them. :)
Thus the newest twists from yours also made it sense for being the beings have restraint from the strict Metal shredding mechanics
as though my own personal does also did not 💯% link at the Metal Shredding strict codes but under my personal inclinations I was overexposed to the Blues crude riffs
You are a great guitar teacher!
Some of the playing on "Bastard" just blew me away. I've always loved that song, probably one of my 3 favorites from Shout.
My mom had that on continuous play beside my crib. That's why I'm suck a mean fucker.
My mom had that on continuous play beside my crib. That's why I'm such a mean fucker.
Hey Mike and thank you for another great video! Can you share how you’re getting that tone? Sounds amazing.
Great video! Please consider doing Nuno bettencourt or steve vai next =)
after the dirt, im watching this again. mick is awesome
Mick's playing has always been "tasty". Just super cool shit that adds so much color to the songs.
