Don't be ashamed, you're here because you're excited to learn more and want to see the possibilities! Hold on to that passion, and keep getting inspired to improve.
Anyone ever think about how crazy a piece of wood with strings on it has come? Like literally thousands of people will gather to watch a band talk super loud in a melodic way while playing with those pieces of wood with strings. Not complaining tho. I’m all for it
Seen a hurdy gurdy? It predates the guitar and is a string instrument. If you haven't check it out, it made me think like guitars must have devolved into simpler instruments, but now the age of electronics is kickstarting it forward again. You're right though. Guitar is beautiful
As soon as you said Crazy Train, I knew EXACTLY the part you were gonna use (as soon as you said it was in the main verse, anyway) My teacher showed me this song when I was about 15. When I was about 20 or 21 I finally got that lick after his 2nd run through the verse riff. A few years later I learned the bass riff for guitar because I just love the rhythm the bass uses to back the solo. Ive always slopped my way through the tapping, but I think RR had a unique tap-style at the start of the solo. And I was always super sloppy with that scale run at the end of the solo.
"It's just a matter of putting your hands in the right places at the right times." So THAT'S where I've been going wrong with my guitar playing all these years! :D
You should dip your pickups and steel wool your knock. Plus take a silver sharpie around the top so the binding gives you the rite tone. Plus you need the right amp... duh..
When I was 16 years old I took morphine for the first time recreationally and stayed up all night randomly trying to learn crazy train. By the end of the night I could play the entire song perfectly. But by the end of the day after taking a nap to make up for lost sleep, I forgot how to play the solo right.
LSD is the most insane performance enhancer for guitar and other musical instruments. Seriously it's ridiculous how much better it makes you. Instantly you understand every note on the board, your timing becomes perfect, your precision and techniques are amplified to an absurd degree and you just get in the zone like nothing else exists. Highly recommend to anybody who has interest in psychedelics and instrument playing.
Randy Rhoads was one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He is not given the credit he truly deserves. He was far more than just a Hard Rock/Heavy Metal player. He was a master at Classical and Jazz, as well.
So that crazy train one is actually more difficult because if you listen to the song carefully Rhoads doesn't actually hit 4 full chugging 16th notes between the descending triads. Using dashes - as 16th rests and slashes / as 16th notes the song's pattern goes like this: /-// (chord) ///- (chord) //// (Chord) ///- (chord) Have a listen on a slow speed if you think I'm joking.
I'm a Drummer, Why am I here? Edited: LOL. I didn't expect this many likes. Btw, After this video, I finally learned how to play the guitar until today. Glory to God❤
@@asmoth360 bruh I've had several guitarists tell me they don't know how I can play the drums. Do you have any idea what it's like to have to keep everybody on tempo AND make sure they're right?
Holy wars, the stage intto and battery are incredibly easy, just not beginner songs, the stage can be a bit of a challenge, and bohemian Rhapsody is difficult for anyone who hasn't practced anything other than the basic major and minor chord
I remember getting the Guitar World issue with Through the fire and flames complete tab. I spent months on that song. I never learned the whole song, but I did learn some licks from it.
i think a kind of "riff evolution" might be interesting. ex muddy waters played this kind of thing. jimmy page turned it into this kind of thing and steve vai turned it into this. or heavy metal used to be like this (insert iron maiden lick) and has evolved to this (insert dream theater riff)

My brother... It is Father’s Day and your vid made my day. I am 60 years old, haven’t played my electrics in years but am now inspired to get them out, restring them and start shredding again. Thanks!!!
I remember when I first started playing the guitar about 6 months ago I watched this video and was hopeful that one day I may get to that level, and while I am not there yet I started off by brute forcing learning songs like master of puppets and some Hendrix licks, and honestly I think that helped me because when I am trying to learn something new I think back about this video and it really helps me. So thank you, this video means a lot to me
The opening riff of Through the Fire and Flames is actually written to be played overhand. The reason you think underhand is easier is because you played it wrong, in a fashion that is arguably easier to play underhand. However, the correct way to play it (according to, yes, the official tabs) is between the 13th fret on the G string to the 16 fret, then the 13th to the 20th, then 13th to 18th. I've experimented with this, and that 13 to 20 stretch is incredibly difficult and painful to do from underneath. Overhand is the best way to do it. And yes, it is quite playable. With some practice.
@@tfwthewhen The official tab on ultimate guitar is on the B string. Unfortunately, it only means they are done by someone qualified, and it does not come from the band. It seems good though. tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/dragonforce/through_the_fire_and_flames_official_2455218
Thanks for these tutorial videos. I found your videos a few days back, first one I watched was you reacting to guitar fails, Brian May's long lost cousin, reaching for his pick... Then the dog. Man that was funny. Over the last couple days I've watched your funny ones, but then just checked your channel and found your tips and tricks. This is awesome and will help me improve my licks so much. Thanks 🤘
Here are three riffs/songs that you'll 99% find hard to learn: ->Colorado Bulldog intro ->Technical Difficulties ->Eugene's Trick Bag [yes the finisher solo in Crossroads :P]
Suggestion: Small Licks, Big Impact Licks that are not the main part of the song or even main riff but without them, the song just would not be as cool. Examples: (1) The descending lick in the main Back in Black riff, (2) The nylon acoustic run in Megadeth's Holy Wars (with the riff following it crushes just that much more), (3) Joan Jett/The Arrows - I love Rock-n-Roll with the little weedly descending run (like Back in Black). These are licks that didn't literally need to structurally be there to hold up the song but because they are, the song is that much cooler.
Honestly, I could listen to you play that satriani lick all fucking day. Man makes amazing music, and in the hands of a skilled player, ALWAYS sounds good.
It’s ridiculous how good you are. I’m literally lmao while watching this in disbelief while you play. 🤯😅 I watched your 10 Favorite solos to play and 25(?) easiest riffs to play videos then this one and I’m honestly speechless. Lol I’ve started watching various videos because I convinced myself I want to learn how to play the electric guitar but there’s no way I see myself doing ANYTHING like this… And still your videos make me want one even more… Great videos and even better talent. 🎸🎶
Yo man, great video! The Al Dimiola riff is actually a Paco De Lucia riff (RIP). Also, I could be wrong, but if we're being true to the original performances, in the first half of the riff, the the last two notes (G to A on the G string) should actually be a hammer-on, if I'm not mistaken... (I could totally be mistaken). Also, the riff should end with a rasgueado instead of a strum of the strings- although I imagine you didn't try it because you're using a steel string guitar, and that would probably be painful haha. Anyway, I know you like to get every detail right, so I thought I'd chip my two cents in. Cheers man!
If I didn't see your fingering while playing it I would think it's hard but after visualizing it from you it actually seems pretty achievable (atleast from my own playing abilities)! I find myself hearing licks all too often and thinking I'll never be able to play that good but after seeing actual footage I feel like I can! Anyone else feel this way?
I feel this way all the time. Especially when I started learning more intermediate songs with sweeps and economy picking. I think that it has to do with that your not used to being able to play that kind of stuff so your brain tells you that can’t play it but when you see it in real time, you subconsciously compare yourself to who your watching. And sometimes seeing it is all you need to know you can play it.
Just break down that "Crazy Train" verse part...That is the closest I've ever heard anyone "nail it" and you did it in another vid...and it didn't sound like this...It's those weird harmonics that kick out...I always sound too clean, even with my Warlock and EMG PUs on that...Not too mention the man could triple and quadruple track his solos note-4-note. Why I fell in love with guitar. Miss you Randy. Why I also rock the Polka Dots.
Wow...Your breakdown on "Through the Fire and Flames" actually made me think I could play that....It's like intricate triplets. It's insanely difficult, but if you learn that shape that you showed and can do tremolo picking...It's in the reach of Mortals...But OMG...It's insanely difficult. Why does he do that amazing fret work and an Yngwie arpeggio and then Whammy-Bar C-H-E-E-Z. I don't get it. SMH.
I thought that too, except about the bridge progression. But it's not really "legendary"; I think he's going for licks that almost everybody can identify, or have at least heard.
You guys obviously like this format-is there any other version of this video (that would actually be good) that you'd like to see? Let me know!

I've experimented with this, and that 13 to 20 stretch is incredibly difficult and painful to do from underneath. Overhand is the best way to do it.
And yes, it is quite playable. With some practice.
@@tfwthewhen The official tab on ultimate guitar is on the B string. Unfortunately, it only means they are done by someone qualified, and it does not come from the band. It seems good though.

You obviously had no friends in life
Just mentioning Al DiMeola, you know it's hard.
Thanks for these tutorial videos.
I found your videos a few days back, first one I watched was you reacting to guitar fails, Brian May's long lost cousin, reaching for his pick... Then the dog. Man that was funny.
Over the last couple days I've watched your funny ones, but then just checked your channel and found your tips and tricks.
This is awesome and will help me improve my licks so much.
Thanks 🤘
"Now imagine down picking the.... wait don't" *explosion* hah got me :)
Here are three riffs/songs that you'll 99% find hard to learn:
->Colorado Bulldog intro
->Technical Difficulties
->Eugene's Trick Bag [yes the finisher solo in Crossroads :P]
Colorado Bulldog's intro run is basically impoasible unless you have giant hands -.-
Ryan Pawelko Yeah xD but you can cheat by moving the first "stretchy" notes to a lower string :P it's still hard nonetheless...
I like the way you bring your personality into what you are teaching/playing! You have a good sense of humor!!
When ever he holds an acoustic guitar he has to play stairway once
Suggestion:
Small Licks, Big Impact
Licks that are not the main part of the song or even main riff but without them, the song just would not be as cool. Examples: (1) The descending lick in the main Back in Black riff, (2) The nylon acoustic run in Megadeth's Holy Wars (with the riff following it crushes just that much more), (3) Joan Jett/The Arrows - I love Rock-n-Roll with the little weedly descending run (like Back in Black). These are licks that didn't literally need to structurally be there to hold up the song but because they are, the song is that much cooler.
I agree with Holy Wars, that acoustic bit is just so cool
Your guitar collection showcased in this Legendary Licks video series has me in awe. So jealous at all of these beauties!
Not so legendary licks that you should know about
Aka maybe some not so well known bands / songs with great licks
PureBanshee Let it burn by Avatar
Maybe some not so well attached fingers.
Place Position by Fugazi
Your playing is incredible, but it's surpassed by your level of meme-age.
Honestly, I could listen to you play that satriani lick all fucking day. Man makes amazing music, and in the hands of a skilled player, ALWAYS sounds good.
4:36 “Oh it’s just a minor arpeggio sweep in the key of C”
the "key of C" part shouldn't invoke fear upon you, the word "sweep" should tho :D
Next do legendary licks: because I'm hard
It’s ridiculous how good you are. I’m literally lmao while watching this in disbelief while you play. 🤯😅 I watched your 10 Favorite solos to play and 25(?) easiest riffs to play videos then this one and I’m honestly speechless. Lol I’ve started watching various videos because I convinced myself I want to learn how to play the electric guitar but there’s no way I see myself doing ANYTHING like this… And still your videos make me want one even more… Great videos and even better talent. 🎸🎶
Imagine if Tyler just started to play some dimminished stringskipping Shawn Lane licks
Riffs you dont play because you cant
Yo man, great video! The Al Dimiola riff is actually a Paco De Lucia riff (RIP). Also, I could be wrong, but if we're being true to the original performances, in the first half of the riff, the the last two notes (G to A on the G string) should actually be a hammer-on, if I'm not mistaken... (I could totally be mistaken). Also, the riff should end with a rasgueado instead of a strum of the strings- although I imagine you didn't try it because you're using a steel string guitar, and that would probably be painful haha. Anyway, I know you like to get every detail right, so I thought I'd chip my two cents in. Cheers man!
I play this song as well and you are very right, especially about the hammer ons
That's some next level transition of guitars. The best I had seen in 2018.
Legendary Licks you wish you never tried to play (because you can't)
Reminds me of the first time I tried learning Perpetual Burn.
"It's just tapping. It's not _that_ fast."
One of my friends hearing "Viking Kong".
Gilbert is no joke.
Legendary Hendrix licks in a song @musiciswin
Most under rated RUclips guitarist of all time
Next: legendary licks that you think are legendary (but aren’t)
If I didn't see your fingering while playing it I would think it's hard but after visualizing it from you it actually seems pretty achievable (atleast from my own playing abilities)! I find myself hearing licks all too often and thinking I'll never be able to play that good but after seeing actual footage I feel like I can! Anyone else feel this way?
I feel this way all the time. Especially when I started learning more intermediate songs with sweeps and economy picking. I think that it has to do with that your not used to being able to play that kind of stuff so your brain tells you that can’t play it but when you see it in real time, you subconsciously compare yourself to who your watching. And sometimes seeing it is all you need to know you can play it.
Just break down that "Crazy Train" verse part...That is the closest I've ever heard anyone "nail it" and you did it in another vid...and it didn't sound like this...It's those weird harmonics that kick out...I always sound too clean, even with my Warlock and EMG PUs on that...Not too mention the man could triple and quadruple track his solos note-4-note. Why I fell in love with guitar. Miss you Randy. Why I also rock the Polka Dots.
Wow...Your breakdown on "Through the Fire and Flames" actually made me think I could play that....It's like intricate triplets. It's insanely difficult, but if you learn that shape that you showed and can do tremolo picking...It's in the reach of Mortals...But OMG...It's insanely difficult. Why does he do that amazing fret work and an Yngwie arpeggio and then Whammy-Bar C-H-E-E-Z. I don't get it. SMH.
For Joe Satriani, i always thought the hardest one was the arpeggio part of Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing
Oh yeah. The speed and precision Satch plays that at... I've never come close and I quit years ago trying.
I would LOVE to learn that tapping lick....Such a beautiful sound!!.... now I know why these licks are famous...
4:07 are you vibrating your hand like the flash😂
Legendary Licks that Contradicted Music Theory
Bleed by Meshuggah, My wrist leaves for the moon by just thinking of the insurance required...
How about a Randy rhoads habits?
Legendary licks you think are easy, because they are ... that's the last missing piece of the lick puzzle
I was hoping for you to play "Fives" (Guthrie), because that song has the sickest most inhuman lick I've ever heard and I can't get my hands around it
Perfect lick for this would be intro of Building The Church by Steve Vai
I thought that too, except about the bridge progression. But it's not really "legendary"; I think he's going for licks that almost everybody can identify, or have at least heard.
Randy Churchill yea true
It should be. One of my favorites
