    Jerry is the RIFF MASTER and the most underrated of all time.

    one thing i love about jerry is that he will often pull out a new riff for under the solo. and so the solo takes on a bridge quality and a new life of its own.

    This is rad! Nice lesson. You go through the whole song piece by piece, taking your time but not beating any dead horses. I've literally only been "playing" guitar for four days so it'll be some time before I'm up to this skill level, but you've given me a wonderful goal!

    Needed to revisit playing this song. Just saw them last night in Washington state. Out of 7 times seeing them (3 with Layne) that was the best sounding show they've done. Absolutely killer! But we were dead center just forward of the mixing console, which is the sweet spot of any concert.

      Hey Bill! It was built by a UK Luthier called Dave Walsh who builds guitars under his Eternal Guitars brand. It's all mahogany, rosewood board and a single Bareknuckle pup. It's an absolute rock machine and great fun to play. You can check his website out here www.eternal-guitars.com/

      @@AllGamingStarred tune your entire guitar a half step down then the E (or D# as it would be then) goes down another two steps (or frets worth). So it’s Drop D but then the entire guitar goes down half a step (or one fret). Hope that helps!

    im Very confused how do you play octaves?

    • @LetsPlayAll
      @LetsPlayAll  Год назад

      Place your first finger on the root note (say 5th fret on lowest string) and either your ring or little finger on the 7th fret on the 4th string (D string). Now what you want to do is mute the string in between (the A string in this case) - if you get the angle of your first finger right it should deaden this and that’s your octave! Hope it helps 🤘
