"Well, uuuh, we're just using the A minor pentatonic. You know, like.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes* ... "Yeah, that's it, like.... *plays super fast for 5 minutes*, "Yeah so.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes*.. That's it!
I love Zakk's teaching style. "Here uh...these are the scale patterns we're gonna use. See you just fuckin....uh play a note here and...you know what fuck it. Just watch me shred for the next 8 minutes."
For those who didn't saw / heard the lesson: - If you aren't familiar with classical guitar technique, it's time to learn the basics - If you don't understand scales or their extended use, learn those until you can dream all the notes - If you don't like or can't play the blues, try your best to either play it and or like it. And if you're redheaded, you might find out that you do have a soul or maybe you don't, not my place to tell :-D - If you like to execute this one day with a banjo, you don't have to buy one just yet - If you like speed, use a metronome, start slow and increase the tempo when you can play the click away - If you like this certain acoustic style of shred: combine all the concepts and brew you're own thing based on the guidelines given in this video. * Don't forget to really, really, really love pentatonic scales. Also in my opinion,it has more character with reduced speed. Anyways, thanks very much! :D
+Pauloemariana Mendonca this is not a monster but a man with hangover who plays the same shit for years and everybody like this beacouse he is Zakk but this is nothing more then A7 for 7 minutes.Bullsh..
Just like a auctioneer has fill ins between words, but guitar fill ins are a direction of feeling and movement of attitude and life.God bless you Zack. Flamenco guitarists are filling their straw built depends. Rock on boss man
Amazing teacher! I learned chicken picking in 7:17 min. YOU can save time though by skipping to 4:39, watch the lick and hear the words "basically I was using every note we can". Sums up this 'lesson' nicely!
Its hard to explain but sometimes sitting across from someone and just trying to mimic stuff and have them slow down the odd part etc., it actually ends up being very beneficial. It will take you to a different level of playing/hearing/following
Stop complaining that he didn't hold you hand through the Lesson. If you aren't able to watch his fingers and use your ears to figure out what he did, then sorry but you are not a seasoned enough player to play what he's demonstrating in the first place
One way to get the chromatic sound or rather the bluesy picking scale is to mix the minor and major scales. Or anytime you have a whole step in your pentatonic shape put a passing tone So basically you have to know where the pentatonic shapes are in C major and where they are in C minor. Then mix them together to your taste. Some things he did were using a pedal tone- so keeping on note on the high e string then walking down a chromatic line on the G string.
quick reminder, most of those guys learned licks from audio tapes, Man up, if you can't learn anything from this video, this is just because it's out of your reach, practice and come back, if you just came to learn some BS lick to impress idiots, you have no right to complain.
i get everyone here, I'm in the same boat but we can't forget that most of that stuff he learned just watching people play these licks trying to copy them for hours on end. so guys pull yourself together and put in the effort. we got youtube we can even slow down the video but without rewinding a thousand times you won't learn it...
So yeah we're just gonna Sweep picks for almost 2 minutes And then we're just gonna Continues to solo for another long time Also you can Continues picking so quickly the camera blurs You also have Chicken picks super fast for another minute Talks for less than 15 seconds about riffs You can do it like Solos really fast again So yeah hope that helped thanks for having me Best guitar lesson 💯
The cold hard truth is you shouldn't be watching a video on chicken picking if you don't know which type of scale you're planning to flow it with. He started out with the foundation of an A Major Pentatonic, and simply showed you can create personal connectors to those foundations to create scales of known types, blues/jazz etc..learn a bunch, they're fun!
So pick a key then use pentatonic scales then ignore scale and play chromatic with emphasis on the key root note. Use finger picking with a pick. Mutes strings
This is exactly how it goes when someone I know can play guitar tries to teach me. Mention some scales and buzzwords and then shreds beyond my mental capacity. Lmao!! 🤣
Yeah just call up Tony Montana and have him fill your bathtub with Columbia's finest, hold your breath for 30 seconds minimum, then dive in head first. When you emerge, you'll be at Zakk Wylde speed! 😆 definitely not even close to his level of ability but you'll at least be able to comprehend 800 bpm
Guy who are criticzing the fact that this not a lesson ...: Rock/Blues Guitar is based on watching and reproducing... this is how great guitarist did in their early days ... so just and figure it out !, presuming you already head about pentatonic scales, this is not to hard ... and if Zakk's playong is to fast, just use any video player that allows you to slow down the video ! ... Nowadays there is so many Tools to learn guitars .... and don't forget, practicing is the key ...not spending time watching videos on youtube !!! Good luck.
You have to hear it first, guys. The beauty of music is its infinite possibilities. My philosophy has always been you have to learn the rules before you break them. Enough with the armchair critiques and post your own enlightening lectures on music theory and the meaning of the universe (which is a sine wave by the way 🙃). I mean, this shit is free! The lesson is chromatics at a blistering speed.
This is the equivalent of a math teacher saying
"Okay class! 2 + 2 = 4"
"Okay using that, now calculate the mass of the sun"
dead lol
😂😂
+Tyler Marcel If you want to know he's picking technique and see more specifics just watch his pentatonic hardcore video...
haha
yeah his tutorials suck most of the time. His old Instructional video covers bending pretty well though.
"Well, uuuh, we're just using the A minor pentatonic. You know, like.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes* ... "Yeah, that's it, like.... *plays super fast for 5 minutes*, "Yeah so.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes*.. That's it!
Trafalgar hahahhaah
😂
Exactly!
Dont be a hater
You forgot to add once again
I love Zakk's teaching style.
"Here uh...these are the scale patterns we're gonna use. See you just fuckin....uh play a note here and...you know what fuck it. Just watch me shred for the next 8 minutes."
One of the great things about Zakk is... he can teach you some guitar, then help you put your transmission back together all in one afternoon.
+Mud Wiser lol
He helped you put your transmission back together?
and sell you some of that sweet powder.
LMAO I believe that 😂
LMAO I believe that 😂
When I saw the beginning of this I had to check I wasn't running the video at 2x speed
Holy fuck. I didn't learn a god damn thing but I don't think I really give a shit either.
Several lifetimes. That’s how many it would take me to achieve this level of mastery.
Zakk on acoustic is just crazy. BLS acoustic songs like T.AZ. and Speedball are probably my favorites of all time.
seriously, he gives yngwie a run for his money for title of worst guitar instructor ever
Best comment!

ultrafloss492 Best advice ever mate :)
Redheaded comment !
Every Zakk Wylde lesson or how to video is like this. Useless to anyone wanting to advance. Amazing for entertainment value.
It's a "lesson" because Black Zack just schooled y'all. Sarcasm.
Haha best comment. So many haters on here
so... when does the lesson start?
I was wondering
2:21 he played so fast the camera blurred. Zakk is the 🐐
Well done to anyone who managed to learn anything useful from this video. Great player but man he can't stop himself.
The monster Zakk Wylde!
#Respect
+Pauloemariana Mendonca this is not a monster but a man with hangover who plays the same shit for years and everybody like this beacouse he is Zakk but this is nothing more then A7 for 7 minutes.Bullsh..

Thank you so much for this video. Zakk need to do an album just with that, just a guitar and chicken picking.
If u haven't already, u should check out Zakk's first band he got famous with: Pride & Glory, it's a lot more country rock style
the lesson starts at 5:55 and finish 6:14
Zakk Acoustic Shred, is Gooood
Amazing teacher! I learned chicken picking in 7:17 min. YOU can save time though by skipping to 4:39, watch the lick and hear the words "basically I was using every note we can". Sums up this 'lesson' nicely!
“String skippin’” cracks me up every time
You Rock Zakk..Love you bro..can't wait to see you at tht House of Blues in Cleveland...Ohio!!!
Great Lesson Zakk.
The heart is willing, but the body is unable.
"Once again"
- Ok.
Can someone translate all those things? hahaha
"Just see his hands" RIGHT!
This my favorite banjo 🪕 lesson. Thanks buddy!!🙏
How on earth was that a lesson?
yeah :'D
Its hard to explain but sometimes sitting across from someone and just trying to mimic stuff and have them slow down the odd part etc., it actually ends up being very beneficial. It will take you to a different level of playing/hearing/following
+CaribSurfKing1 pro players really don't need to have things slowed down :) it is not for beginners, dude
it was not...
PURE TALENT!
Stop complaining that he didn't hold you hand through the Lesson. If you aren't able to watch his fingers and use your ears to figure out what he did, then sorry but you are not a seasoned enough player to play what he's demonstrating in the first place
if you can play what he's playing why the hell would you watch the video? XD
One way to get the chromatic sound or rather the bluesy picking scale is to mix the minor and major scales. Or anytime you have a whole step in your pentatonic shape put a passing tone
So basically you have to know where the pentatonic shapes are in C major and where they are in C minor. Then mix them together to your taste.
Some things he did were using a pedal tone- so keeping on note on the high e string then walking down a chromatic line on the G string.
Freaking AWESOME!
Well that really cleared things up for me
If you really dig this and want to play exactly the same notes, you can always use Transcribe software to slow it down
I think I finally learnt something. Leave it to the professionals.
you the man ! this shows me you put in the time
Zack is typical show off teacher lol
Coolest show off teacher
The best papa rock in the world
quick reminder, most of those guys learned licks from audio tapes,
Man up, if you can't learn anything from this video, this is just because it's out of your reach, practice and come back,
if you just came to learn some BS lick to impress idiots, you have no right to complain.
Very good, my brother.🌹🌹🙏👑
Oh good, a breakdown on that ONE lick!
Hell yeah, Father Zakk!! Awesome licks ideas... bad ass!!! lml
#BLfamily
"And here we go one more time", thanks got it!
I was watching some Alex Scolnick videos now watching zac I feel like I have a terrible learning disability. 😂
22-23 seconds. Incomprehensible
“Things like that” - Zak
i get everyone here, I'm in the same boat but we can't forget that most of that stuff he learned just watching people play these licks trying to copy them for hours on end. so guys pull yourself together and put in the effort. we got youtube we can even slow down the video but without rewinding a thousand times you won't learn it...
Love this. So awesome to take the time to teach; FOR FREE. I'm sure he's getting paid from Guitar World, but still man. How cool is he.
Watch me shred while you still suck. Love Zakk, learned nothing from this though, except he's a wizard.
Yeeehaw Zakk 🤘
I think he stated once "Albert Lee Star Licks , it's all on there"
That epiphone is fucking bad ass
Like Zack A lot, And the fact He's on the Web a lot too
Yeah, this is much better than his electrical stuff.
The tabs are on guitar worlds website if anyone wants them! SDMF!!! Bleed black forever!
A pleasure man..
All tecnitician. Nobody said that..
That axe is sick! I need one, hope Epiphone makes it available... haven't seen it anywhere.
Finally says something about the 3 picks he's got going at once. GD Zack
I think Zakk has earned the right to show off when he's supposed to be teaching a lesson. He's basically saying, "Just do whatever the hell I do."
So yeah we're just gonna Sweep picks for almost 2 minutes
And then we're just gonna Continues to solo for another long time
Also you can Continues picking so quickly the camera blurs
You also have Chicken picks super fast for another minute
Talks for less than 15 seconds about riffs
You can do it like Solos really fast again
So yeah hope that helped thanks for having me
Best guitar lesson 💯
that nail picking
Zakk plays great that acustic
0:54 shades of Cliff Burton?
for whom the bell tolls
That's the weirdest looking Epiphone headstock I've ever seen. Looks so much better than the regular one.
The Miyagi of guitar
The cold hard truth is you shouldn't be watching a video on chicken picking if you don't know which type of scale you're planning to flow it with. He started out with the foundation of an A Major Pentatonic, and simply showed you can create personal connectors to those foundations to create scales of known types, blues/jazz etc..learn a bunch, they're fun!
Zakk the big beard!!!!
Sweet looking guitar!
So pick a key then use pentatonic scales then ignore scale and play chromatic with emphasis on the key root note. Use finger picking with a pick. Mutes strings
The black label Viagra is kicking in SHIIIIIIIIIIT.
Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,.
What a thumbnail
Thanks Zakk...Who knows what model his Epiphone is?
Still waiting for the lesson to start
terrible teacher killer player i wish he'd make a signature acoustic guitar
This is exactly how it goes when someone I know can play guitar tries to teach me. Mention some scales and buzzwords and then shreds beyond my mental capacity. Lmao!! 🤣
Anyone else notice his demon thumb nail, on his picking hand
Yeah just call up Tony Montana and have him fill your bathtub with Columbia's finest, hold your breath for 30 seconds minimum, then dive in head first. When you emerge, you'll be at Zakk Wylde speed! 😆 definitely not even close to his level of ability but you'll at least be able to comprehend 800 bpm
Is the back issue available for this?
Got it. Thanks z!
"I'll give you a breakdown on one lick now.." There is only one lick?
im done in life you great i try try and try i got some things can break the person neck that says it easy for me
no sure exactly what the lick was, did he go over it really lol, I know he kind gave like 3-4 ideas out but it was basically him noodling

Once again watch closely...
it's a ultra master class
learning to fly when ain't crawling jet doe's any sense?
Where can I get this amazing guitar or at least the soundhole pickup?
You have to hear it first, guys. The beauty of music is its infinite possibilities. My philosophy has always been you have to learn the rules before you break them.

The lesson is chromatics at a blistering speed.
singularity (black hole) included.
Daaaaaamm Zakk Wylde greetins man!! Awesome as fok u rok buddy\m/

Where can I buy that kickass guitar?
Anyone got a clue as to what epiphone model he’s playing?
You know it’s these easy licks, but it’s the way you use them… look how good I do it
How am i suppose to play that..Zakk
You need more thumbnail in your headphones.
Fach yeah 🕶
It's hard for Olympic sprinters to teach people how to walk
Scalloped fretboard 😀
Hybrid technique is almost fundamental these days for all guitar players.
