My favorite exercise I'll literally sit there for like an hour just playing different variations of this at the fastest speed possible while still maintaining precision. That's the secret to playing Dimebag or Zakk Wylde licks like this. Don't try to force it. Stay loose and just let your whole body flow like water. That's the secret to everything really. Ever notice how people who are the best at everything always make it look easy? Cuz it is easy to them. Stay relaxed and if you struggle maintaining that flow even at slower speeds just break whatever your playing down into smaller parts so you can play precise. I was self taught and hit a plateau for like 10 years and could never play stuff like this cuz I was tense and my technique sucked. Then I noticed how my favorite players don't look all tense like me. So I slowed everything down, strummed/picked a little harder so I can maintain that natural swinging motion in my wrist and let gravity work in my favor not against me. I never thought I'd be where I am now with my playing. But I've learned more in two years playing than the 15 years of playing prior. Everyone thinks this lick and others like it is hard to play but it really isn't. It's fun and when you get it down right it'll feel effortless. Almost like it's not really even you playing. Love this video btw man!
Not actually true bro Your words are very similar to words of famous people about their success.So be yourself,dream your dreams,be motivated,work hard and one day they will all become true.But it is soooo easy to speak like that when you've already succeeded in something.Not everyone will be a famous person even if they will do all this stuff literally. So it's the same thing with the guitar playing.Of course when you've somehow managed to play this stuff it all looks simple for you bro.I'm playing guitar almost 6 years (in common with some breaks for a while),so i still don't get how you guys can play this crazy shit lightning fast.I can't play fast,can;t play fast at all.I've tried different hand positions,different picks,defferent angles.So it all had no sense,i'm still slow af man,ahah This is why i actually gave up playing guitar,almost. So in my opinion-some people can play guitar easily and those crazy licks are so simple for them to play,but for some people it is absolute hell.
@@DocumentsFilms Unless you've had an injury or are old what the guy said is true. Don't try for force it, stay relaxed, STAY RELAXED. You play it while relaxed, at the speed where you don't make mistakes. You'll be able to do it eventually. Do it an hour a day for a week straight and see what happens
@@WItowsky Exactly man. It's really science if you think about it. I use the concept of inertia a lot in my playing and Zakk Wylde does too. Inertia will give you THE best technique 100% of the time. You can tense up a little and lock your wrist into place if you want but over time it'll just wear you out. Most people pick with their wrist or shoulder/arm. I pick with my whole body. What I mean by that is I move my fingers, wrist, arm and shoulder all together. I'm not saying to LITERALLY use your whole body. I'm saying that for me personally (and many others as well), I used as much of my body as I need to in order to stay fluid. Think of picking like a cylinder in an engine. A lot of motorcycles use single cylinder combustion. And cars use multiple cylinders. Multi-cylinder engines aren't just a bunch of random pistons jumping around at random. They move in a specific timing and order. They balance each other out so that when one is going up, another one is going down. It keeps the car's suspension smooth and level. It's all about sustaining the energy from that initial gas spark/combustion. Guitar picking is just like that. Your muscle memory changes over time and you'll find yourself focusing on the next following note. A good example of that can be realized even with just a classic two note/two string repetition exercise. Let's say... You're playing the third and fourth string on the 5th and 7th fret. When you play it enough, you'll be able to do it with little effort. What really helped me learn all this is kinda funny actually. For a year or two I was playing in bed a lot with my sleeping gf beside me. I didn't want to wake her up so I played really quiet and gently. After a while playing that way it embedded my muscle memory and helped me play faster but without overexerting my energy. Total accident but it ended up working in my favor. Anyway, so the next step is to train yourself to accent and focus on the cycle of the whole exercise, not each individual note. It's a four note lick. So when you play the first 4 notes to complete a cycle, you pluck harder on the following note that all the other notes. It'll eventually feel like you're ONLY playing that one note and the rest of the notes are just in autopilot. When you can do that comfortably and in perfect timing, playing fast solos are suddenly possible for you. It's like you just broke a barrier and now your playing has totally changed. And you'll advance faster within a couple months than you did with your first DECADE of playing guitar.
@@DocumentsFilms Dude I literally didn't say even one of those things about "success". And not it's not "EASY" to say after you've already succeeded. Re-read the comment. I clearly said I had been stuck in a plateau for at least 10 years with absolutely no progress at all. So I know exactly how it feels to struggle with your progress and believe you'll never get better. I practiced for hours everyday. I can't even imagine how many hours I played for those 10 years. So yeah I earned that shit lol.
Bro, you must to make guides about Zakk's guitar style. You learned it perfectly, about technic and playing style. Guides about how you did this will be very necessary
Excellent job! Those ZW licks seem so simple but playing them that fast and clean is really challenging...and by challenging, I mean impossible for me😂
Thanks a lot, you're awesome, it took me 10 years to find this video and learn the lick, god bless you. Please post more Zakk's licks from early Ozzy staff
This video seriously needs tabs for people who cant just be "told" and have to see how its played. I can't exactly see which strings youre holding down
Brilliant lesson but I just can't make out what you are playing in the turnarounds... can you please send a tab or explain slowly? Thanks a lot Edit: I slowed it down 50% and got it. Thanks a lot!!!
Bro como se llama la técnica de la mano derecha que usa Zakk Wylde? Me refiero a no apoyar la mano en el cuerpo de la guitarra, o mejor dicho como se hace esa técnica?
I have to agree about hearing every single note being played. I’ve tried learning the trios that he does, but no matter what I do, the pitching and threading hand don’t match.
Because you haven't reached that level of garbage. Turn you gain up follwed by a overdrive pedal, followed with a right hand seizure and top it off with a wah pedal. CONGRADULATIONS you are now a Zakk Wylde clone
Well to learn the notes I watched a video of zakk teaching it. It took like 2 minutes to understand what was happening. Then probably a few hours over a few days til I could play it well.
how do you get it to sound so clean, i can play this but i cant find a right balance with my right hand to make it sound super clean, also what pick are you using, i feel my picks are too smooth
You're not even actually explaining how its done, or what pattern you should be picking. Like what are you doing with your middle finger? What string is your middle finger pressing? What is a turn-around? Speak in guitar terms please

So clean, you can really hear every note and attack! Subscribed and hope for more lick breakdowns 🤘

This is probably the best lick on you tube. Thanks
Man, you are CLEAN! Thanks, I will try this licks and the pose of course
Nicely done
That's a wicked lick to practice,cheers buddy!
Riffs semi under wrap, Runs, transformed into extraordinary runs, zakk under wrap, off charts.
This video seriously needs tabs for people who cant just be "told" and have to see how its played. I can't exactly see which strings youre holding down
Bit you can see the fretboard position and tone. You can use your ear too
Brilliant lesson but I just can't make out what you are playing in the turnarounds... can you please send a tab or explain slowly? Thanks a lot
Edit: I slowed it down 50% and got it. Thanks a lot!!!
Can somebody give me a tab to this.. finding it hard to follow properly from the video...
Sounds so good .
Its a cool lick. And super good performed!
I remember zakk showing this in an interview some years ago.
Man you nail that!!! Also teach it well! SDMF ⚡️GIFD
Thanks for this! Looking forward to more.
I have been a fan of Zakk Wylde's for years and I can honestly say that your delivery of that lick sounds even better than his !
Up and a sweep nice
Man! Been wanting to do this forever - thanks a ton!
Bro....thank you. I've been searching for years......
Christ, that was super clean! Very cool!
Thank you Father.
You’re a boss ! Thanks so much I needed this lesson bro
Nailed it
A lot of people don't know Mr Wylde uses a lot of economy picking.
This is so cool thank you for sharing
brutal...
Rocking that Harley Benton 😁
Nice man yes! This lick is soul the Wylde
I really envy those people who can play stuff like this lightning fast.
For me it's absolutely unreal to play :D
Cause my hands are that bad.
Beast!
Every note is picked? Thanks for the tutorial!
Thnx Man 🤘🏻
VERY impressive dude!
Nice lesson, I subscribed!
tuned down 2 frets?
If only Zakk would play another riff at a different speed. It’s only been 30 years since he played something different…lol
no pinch harmonics. 0/10
🤣 emotional damage.
Danger: Obligatory zakk pinch harmonics missing.
Nice work man
Great playing man.
can you put the tabs?
Tabs please....
Nice 🤘
Bro como se llama la técnica de la mano derecha que usa Zakk Wylde? Me refiero a no apoyar la mano en el cuerpo de la guitarra, o mejor dicho como se hace esa técnica?
Oh great 🎉🎉🎉🎉 zakk wylde style
Took me a long time to work it out but nice and sounds zakk wyldr likr
damn! thanks
Thx ! So cool 😎

wow wow wow wow!!!!!!!!
Killer man
Bro... teach me!!!
cool!
Great job man 👍 do you have a low action or could you tell me the height of your action? Thanks
It's pretty low. Not too low but pretty low.
@@WItowsky awesome thanks!
Im here for zakk's signature low string vibrato. Dooped again.
Nice licks though
WItowsky How long did it take you to learn this lick?

@@pipespeeps5349 Just keep practicing it'll get better and better.
@@WItowsky how do you position your right hand? is it just floating above or are you muting
@@pipespeeps5349 It's floating above mostly
People with short fingers, do not attempt.
Whats the tuning?
D Standard
@@WItowsky thanks for lhe answer !If you can,make one video in standanrt tuning,please...and more slow,thanks.
Dude wth are you doing on youtube, go try out for Avenged Sevenfold or something
Well I'm just gonna put my guitar down and go walk into traffic....
You're not even actually explaining how its done, or what pattern you should be picking. Like what are you doing with your middle finger? What string is your middle finger pressing? What is a turn-around? Speak in guitar terms please
No mention of Key, intervals, nothing
Not helpful
Lol. No.
