    Hey everybody! I really appreciate all of the kind words/support on this lesson and the others that I've been doing for Guitar World. There are so many great players out there, it's humbling and downright scary to try and teach online these days. I read a lot of comments about the tone, so thought I'd answer those here. It's just one of the house amps at Guitar World...a Marshall JVM head and 4-12 cab, with a boss DD-5 delay pedal in the loop...that's it! Thanks again for checking this out!

    Joel pretty much knows exactly what to play to sound like a total rock star. The guy is insane!

      +ShaggyDawg exactly man. Have you seen Bucketheads fingers? they're as long on drum sticks!

      @robvp190 8 лет назад +3

      +muchomusiclibre It's all about practice.. look up Andres Segovia, a well known classical guitarist. Small hands but that did not stop him from playing compositions with extreme stretches (which are even harder to do on classical guitar because of the higher action)

    It's simply an honor to even watch him give a lesson, knowing the fact that such musicians are from times when real music existed and melodies mattered. These are the guitarists/musicians which truly define a band/writing skills/arrangement. Its truly humbling to see how grounded they are. Cheers!

    Joel Hoekstra deserves to be on top and receive all recognition... what a technique, what a furious grip and not a note without feeling... Master... also one of his first teachers was the extraordinary TJ Helmerich, with whom he learned this to perfection. absurd technique of 8 fingers on the fretboard... Congratulations Joel!!!
