- Shred Guitar In The 80s! In the episode I look at the incredible playing of Warren DeMartini of Ratt and break down some of his ideas and licks he used in the 1980s on albums such a Out of the Cellar, Invasion of you Privacy and Dancing Undercover. This is the first in a series on Warren's playing. I also take a look at the book Eddie Van Halen by photographer Neil Zlozower which is an incredible photo history of Edward Van Halen with Van Halen.

@Wesson Miller It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
@Jamal Jude No problem :)
One of most underrated player. His solos are tasty, flashy and melodic as hell. Too bad he's not getting much attention outside of hard rock/heavy metal fans
Warren and Robin"s style matched beautifully and really complimented each other.
Yes...they sure did!
Jake e lee and george lynch were friends and influences on Warren. Evident in his playing. I enjoyed this lesson.
Hello! Thank you so much! Thank you for watching!
Totally.. Warren stole the “George Lynch Vibrato” lol… but Warren helped him a lot learning some cover songs when George was trying out for I forget which band…
@@colinsexton1929Lol 😅, George actually got all kinds of tips from Warren on how to break things up and make a quick decision that matters, like George said, "I just wasn't really into coverage for different types of styles and Warren helped me out big time" and learned how to do things your saying except backwards. But of course both just play different, I think Warren is actually technically better, but George is awesome with his own style.
Ya I just remember reading a George Lynch interview in Guitar Magazine back in like 1987 and George was asked about Warren using his vibrato and George said "He ripped me off that f***" lol@@DiMarzio-Tone
You try copying George’s vibrato...lol George’s vibrato is the stuff of legend. Arguably his greatest gift or blessing that truly distinguished him, was Lynch’s wide smooth and natural vibrato that caught the attention of many great players and tons of fans.
"Sweet Cheater" is such a underrated song, glad to hear someone sharing some love for their first EP, most people only talk about "Out of the Cellar".
Hello! Yes...I love the EP also! Such great songs on it! Thanks for watching!
Dance, Nobody Rides for Free, City to City and Way Cool are my favs! If I HAD to pick favs
WARREN IS A GUITAR GOD ABSOLUTE LEGEND. RATT really started rolling in 84 when I was 16 in highschool. Warren will always be one of my favorite guitarist of all time. Pure talent solid musician.
cool lesson I've always loved Warren's sound and you have a good grip on his playing this was helpful.
Hello! Thank you...Warren's such a great player! Thanks for watching!
Love it! DeMartini doesn’t seem to get as much attention as he deserves, but he was the real deal. You sound incredible too, BTW. Thanks for the lesson
Hello! Yes...I agree Warren amazing! Thank you so much for watching! )
By far the best DeMartini style lesson vid on youtube. Great job. You're a great guitar player!
Hello! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and thanks so much for watching! 🙂
wow, you nailed his style! great! loved it
This vid is two years old, but it's still inspiring! Thanks!
Very good playing and nice rendition! I work on it to incorporate this stuff in my playing, thanks for this lesson!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Gr8 Stuff!!! Warren was really one of the greats!!! Thanx for posting.
Great tutorial on this wizardry
Incredible playing
Thanks Bill....your playing is really great....it sure it will help me improve my playing ratt solos......thanks again & keep those videos comin.....bye now
Thank you so much! Thank you for watching!
great video. his mixolydian work was what grabbed me. The blend with pentatonic was unmatched.
i had this exact baretta in the 80's wish i still had it
Great stuff! Your lessons on alt picking have really helped me
Hello, Suraj! That is great to hear! Thank you for sharing that with me and thanks for watching!
8:35 that riff sounds a lot like the ending of the sails of charron solo
I’d love to see you do a breakdown of Vito Bratta guitar playing
Hell yes...saw the Racer X and now this???
SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your subscribed and and thank you for watching! ☺️
Warren was the best out of that whole 80's crew. Tone, feel, phrasing and consistency.
Thanks for this Bill - really enjoyed the lesson
Thank you so much!
Great stuff ,it shows a lot of music knowlage👍
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
This channel is a wealth of information
Wow !!
I really appreciate this upload. The very reason I started playing guitar seriously back in 1985 was because of Warren DeMartini...
Thank you for watching! 🙂
Great stuff,good sound 👍
Thank you so much for watching! 🤘
Thanks Bill. I think warrens very underated.
Wish there was more warren and Lynch material.
Hello, Matt! I agree! Warren is a wonderful player! Thanks for watching!
Great work man !! This really helped !!
Thank you for watching! 🙂
It would be awesome if you did a full series on Warren where you slow down a bit more and break down even more of his technique..you've really captured all the unique nuisance in his phasing like no other on RUclips (like you did with 8th note and 3 triplets..) Incredibly useful ..thank you. Definitely a big demand for MORE!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! When I get time maybe I can make one on his approach to phrasing. Thank you for watching! 🙂
Really cool lesson
Bro, awesome playing, you got those chops down ✌️ keep jamming
Thank you so much! 🙂
@@wth522 I def will check out your other videos, my right hand is horrible 😫 always has been, left can do it all. So late stage old man here going to give this one more shot at this before I exit stage left. Appreciate the education for sure why couldn't you be my next door neighbor for real. I'm in old town fla where they do 2 things here drink then drink more. ✌️
Excellent dude! I owned a Kramer just like that! Brings me back to the 80s. Yes, Warren has so much style. His phrasing puts him heads and shoulders above most players. His nickname is Torch. One thing I wanted to mention about Cellar is that the jump in production quality between the EP and Cellar is just tremendous. Cellar is still a pretty great sounding album. All of Warren's leaders were done with a Rivera era 18 watt Super Champ through an Orange cab with an EV. The rhythms were all both Warren and Robin through a boosted plexi. They used this same amp on Invasion, along with a Laney or two. I think the leads were all Laney. Dancing was mostly a Soldano SLO. Warren did use metal picks and gauge 10 Ernie Balls. He stopped using the metal picksu when he kept breaking the wound strings, A in particular, by the second or third song.
Hello, Angus! Yes... Warren was definitely one of the best players from that era and so underrated! I love his playing... he has such amazing phrasing and tone! Thanks so much for the great info and thanks so much for watching!
Amazing playing, amazing insight, love Warren Demartini and George Lynch! I always steal from their licks. I LOVE your Kramer guitar and that unbranded banana headstock guitar in the background!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it ! 🙂
Warren was a major influence on my playing !! I love his style & tone greatly !! Thanks for this video & I really hope you do more like this ?!
Thank you, Mike! I love Warren's playing so much also. I actually have a few other Warren videos on my Channel here...I will be doing others in the future also. Thanks so much for watching!
Excellent video and lesson, I recall hearing his influences we're initially influenced by obviously Townsend, but Holdsworth as well.
Thank you so much! Yes I remember reading that also that he was influenced initially by Pete Townsend and you can definitely hear a Holdsworth influence also. Thanks so much for watching!
Excellent job..you have a great sense of the way Warren attacks the rhythm in his style/ licks which is about 90% of his feel and sound
Thank you so much!
Love it!
Thanks so much, Bill! Thanks for watching!
Awesome lesson bro.
Thank you so much!
Great clean playing..really enjoyed that. Thanks.
Thank You so much! Thank you for watching!
You are an amazing player buddy, amazing-
Hello! Thank you so much! :)
Good lord. That bend at the beginning gave me chills. Man how long have you been playing? That's such a beautiful guitar too!
Hello! Thank you so much! I have been playing since I was about ten years old...it has been a long time, lol! Thanks for watching!
@@wth522 Holy cow lol
Ratt was such an awesome 80's band / Warren was big influence on my guitar playing / many many hours, by the turnable, learning his solos
Hello! I think Warren was a huge influence and so many of us back then! Thank you so much for watching!
@@wth522 great videos btw
@@t.j.fuller9531 thank you so much!
What I like about Warren is that you didn't have to really breakdown a rhythm just to feature his solos.
Van Halen did that quite a bit and it kinda disturbed the flow I'd the song. But with Warren he could pretty much solo over anything.
Good stuff.
1:09 I always thought that Ratt essentially "re-wrote" Unchained (the music anyway) on this song -- it's like Unchained in E
Love this series, keep it up. Its very informative! An episode about Michael Schenker would be awsome, i love all his stuff in the 70s, but my favorite album of him is M.S.G. from the time with Robin McAuley.
Hello! Thank you so much! I love Michael Schenker playing so much and I'm going to cover him a lot in the future! I love all his albums with UFO and solo and I'm definitely going to be covering all the different eras of Michael in the future! I love the album you mentioned it to great one! Thanks so much for watching!
@@wth522 Great video and playing here. I subbed. Looking forward to your Schenker vids!
@@jfo3000 thank you so much! I really appreciate your watching and I'm looking forward to doing a lot of Michael Schenker in the future! One of my favorite players! Thanks again!
Bill, very nice intro!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Cool stuff Bill. Warren is a huge influence: great sound and phrasing in his playing. Lay It Down, Give It All and Between the Eyes from Invasion, Body Talk, Take A Chance and 7th Avenue from Dancing Undercover, What's It Gonna Be and What I'm After from Reach for the Sky. Of course, Im Insane, Back for More, In Your Direction and Youre in Trouble from Cellar are just great ripping and tasty solos. And I could go on. Listen to the fade out of Dangerous But Worth the Risk from Invasion. Just cool youthful angst and stretchin out of his playing.
Thanks for your vids. And yes RIP EVH. Devastating.
Thanks for watching, Sean! Warren and Eddie were both huge influences on me for sure!
Man how could you miss the outro on "I want To Love You Tonight " in your listings?
This was awesome! I just subscribed. You’re picking is so clean everything sounds great. Good video!
Thank you so much! Thank you so much for watching!
Damn!
Really cool stuff, Bill. Looking forward to pt 2!
I’ve always wondered what caused the exponential growth in Warren’s playing between the ep and OOTC. Maybe he just practiced a lot - lol. I feel the same way about George Lynch between Breaking The Chains and Tooth and Nail.
Thank you, Scott! Yes...both Warren and George made a huge leap forward from their debuts! I imagine it was a combination of practicing and also playing a ton of gigs and sort of finding that voice on the instrument. When that happens everything clicks and takes off. Thanks so much for watching!
At the time the EP was recorded he had only been playing guitar actively for about 5 years! He really was just getting started.
Great playing dude! Your sound is killer and your chops do it justice of course. Any pedals there of just the Blackstar combo? Thank you so much for sharing- big DeMartini fan here as well.
Hello! Thank you so much I really appreciate it! I just used the Blackstar...no pedals.
Very much in the style of George Lynch.
Thanks for this, I really enjoyed it. Episode 9 of the Riff Raff podcast w/Shane Theriot is an interview with Warren, which gives quite a lot of detail about his time in the studio, as do the Full in Bloom episodes here on RUclips. Both good listening.
Thank you so much! I will check both of us out... I love Warren's playing! Thanks so much for watching!
Fine playing and great sound. Thanks for these videos. I was in 8th grade on the 3rd row when Ratt came through town (out of the cellar).
Is that an Exxxx series Baretta? Looks just like mine.
Thank you so much for watching! Yes…my Kramer is an Exxxx series also. It is a really fun guitar to play! 🙂
Thanks for sharing :) You are a blessing :) What do you think about the guitar sound from Ratt EP? I thought the guitar tone was alright on EP! I love the guitar tone on Out of the cellar! I like Beau Hill production on Ratt albums! Infestation was great !We hope to get one more new Ratt CD! Did you enjoyRatts 1999 self title ? It had over the edge on it! Ratt did a killer version of that song live some years back! God bless you buddy and savior JESUS keep you safe always!
Thank you, Greg! I really enjoyed the first Ratt EP! I really liked the raw sound on it and I thought the songs were great! I love all of their 80s albums as well as Detonator. I do think Over The Edge is a great song also! I like almost everything Ratt has done! Thanks for watching!
Bill check out a Jazz monster named Larry Meyer out of Huntington Long Island in New York. I've seen all the greats. This cat is possibly the greatest Jazz improv player I've ever seen or heard. Some of the videos on here don't do his playing justice. His live performances are as incredible as Yngwie, EVH, Dimeola or anyone I've seen. His style is much different than most but it's mind boggling. Check him out. Larry Meyer. Specializes in Charlie Parker and guts like that. But he is a huge EVH fan. He told me that Hot For Teacher is absolutely as jamming as any of the best Jazz he's ever heard. He also said Edward Van Halen is the best rythym player he's ever heard.
I will check him out! Thank you for suggesting him to me! I agree with him on Eddie! Eddie was a huge influence in me for sure also!
No doubt about it , Edward is by far and away the best rhythm guitarist I've ever seen also .
Thank you!!!!!
Hope you do more Ratt videos. As I’ve aged, they’ve become my favorite band. The harmonies are gold.
Say, on Dance, is it in A# melodic minor?
Thank you so much! I love Warren’s playing also! I am not sure about Dance…I have not tried to learn that one yet. Thank you so much for watchi,
Best thing about Warren is that he never tried to copy Eddie like many of the 80s guitar player did.
No, he copied George Lynch instead..lol! Still a great player!
@Joe Walker George has said that Warren was often hanging around in a music store, listening, pretending to shop, while George gave lessons. Might be true, but George and Ed were known to tell a tall tale or two.
Hey Bill. I found a video of one of warrens solos. I was wondering you possibly do a video about it, I have no idea what he's doing.

Hello, Matt! That is an awesome solo... I have heard that one before but it's been a long time. Warren played some amazing licks on that first tour! I'm in the middle of a couple things at the moment getting ready for some other videos and doing a little recording, but when I get through with this stuff I'll give it a listen and pick out a few of those runs! I recognized some of them from listening just now, I have to figure out what positions and notes he is using. Thanks for the suggestion... I love Warren's playing! ☺️
Your playing is so good it's silly
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
You should play in Ratt 🤘
His buddy Jake E Lee. Not George Lynch I believe. Great playing and instruction tho.
Hello! Yes... Warren and Jake were great friends and actually roommates at one time! Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it!
Wait..I think Warren became a big soldano guy.. Pretty sure he worked with soldano founder to create a legendary tone and course the snakeskin wrapped head and cabs
What amp are you using here Bill? Thank you! Would love to see a video like this for Randy Rhoads.
Hello! I am using a 40 watt Blackstar combo...it is just a smaller solid state model but it is fun to play! I actually have a couple videos on Randy on my channel that I did recently Thanks for asking!
@@wth522 Thank you very much Bill, you got great tone out of it. I’ll check out the Randy videos. \m/
Thank you!
Do you do online private lessons?
Hello! Thanks so much for inquiring! Yes, I do some online teaching... but at the moment I'm so busy and booked up that really don't have any time available. I cut back my student load quite a bit while working on a bunch of projects. I really appreciate your asking though and thanks so much for watching my channel here! ☺️
I hate how the guitar is put on the back burner these days, the 80's was so great for guitar solo's, this older music rules
Does Warren have some Jazz and Funk influences in his sound? Or is it false?
Bill do you teach?
Hello, Michael. I have taught a lot in the past. I am not doing much teaching at the moment though...super busy.
I noticed guitarist on RUclips who cover Warren's solos, and have no problem playing neo-classical style licks, tend to struggle with his solos for some reason. I think it has to do with Warren's timing or internal metronome. He attacks and pulls back from notes in an off beat way, if that makes any sense and this timing throws guitarists off. I'm probably not making sense here. Anyway, no one plays like him.
Evh stolen style
Great playing.
Thank you so much!
Nice Barretta before the “American” style headstock; original Mr. Scary guitar.
