The genre of Metal became a race to the finish.
As a consequence, it has stagnated at the finish line for over a decade. While not enough was explored in the less extreme eras of metal. To me, it's not about how heavy a song is, but how well written. I feel like too many people lost sight of that.
I'll agree with you, but I think it's starting to make a bigger come back. Hell Thrash is getting bigger, in the underground, again
I say all the time that Pantera ruined metal. Not that they are terrible or anything (though I tend to prefer pre- cowboys Pantera) but they kinda started that rat race imo
This is why I think metallica became so successful. The songwriting was masterful and among the best the genre had to offer at the time
Yeah. This is why I love prog metal so much. Listen to TOOL, Karnivool, or Haken, and you feel the effort that they put into making their music good music.
“Heavy” doesn’t mean scream louder or try to sound scarier either. Metal kinda turned into an emo kids myspace page for the last 15 years. Gothic angst
Funk music is incredibly underrated for guitar players. Some of the greatest rhythm sections come from the soul and funk era, and as a result all the guitar parts are so much fun to play.also, guitarists of that time were amazing and underrated as well Nile Rodgers, Eddie Hazel, Ernie Isley to name a few!
Edit: Disco as well!
also disco as well. Earth wind and fire, kool and the gang, change, so many great and spanky tones
I'm with you 100%. I grew up a rock/metal guitar lover but that 70s stuff is just so freakin awesome. I miss that music, maybe I'm just not looking for it hard enough today.
I really like to play funk but I won't actively listen to it
How is that an unpopular opinion? The amount of bad Funk / Funk rock that people produce is still insane
Shout out to Cory Wong!
I love the fact that Schecters are universally acclaimed as such great guitars. I never thought much of them until I played one and after researching more I found that basically everyone can agree they’re amazing.
That's why it's called Schecter Guitar RESEARCH hurrhurr 🤓
Are Schecters useful if one doesn’t play metal/djent/DeathCoreFacePunch ?
This is why I went with a schecter for my first guitar. Haven't held any other guitar in my life and its been about a year so I'm wondering what I'll find next but I do love my schecter. I also started with a c-7 deluxe so it's not the cheapest bracket but 2nd cheapest and it seems like everyone agreed at this price point they're the best.
@@UnboundOdysseus I wonder the same thing since I'm not too interested in metal but rather more in blues/jazz but they have a wide variety of guitars that fall in basically any genre. I'm checking out the C1 EA with split coils to get that strat sound, so yeah like @Reizoko said do your research lol
@@Tayy_B I'm not too interested in metal myself but saw a used Schecter tempest online for sale. The pick ups were horrible so I replaced them. Duncan 59 in the bridge and pearly gates for the neck. I can get anything from Jazz to metal sounds . The pearly gates splits also
I think my most unpopular opinion about unpopular opinions about guitar is that Tyler will *definitely* do a part three and that's when we'll all start to notice things getting really strange...
Exactly 💯 well 👏 said
Prince was definitely an underrated guitarist. He was one of the most talented musicians to ever walk the Earth. I’m not even a huge fan of his music. It’s just obvious.
I agree. But since his death and the watching of the "while my guitar gently weeps" live solo, more people are catching on to just how good he was. Especially as that wasn't rehersed by him or anything. Just rocked up, did it and left. True Prince style!
Maybe he said no because he’s on multiple top 100 guitarist lists
@@djinn9345 Maybe. Those lists don’t really mean anything. If someone actually tried to make a legitimate list of the greatest guitarists to ever pick up an axe, then there would be few if any rock and blues guitarists on there. Jazz guitarists, Classical guitarists, and Chet Atkins and friends would comfortably hold every position.
@@haydenginman121 they may not necessarily always speak to musicianship but if they are in a popular magazine (like Rollingstone or something of that ilk) it does speak to that guitarist being known to be good or influential at least in the popular music sphere. So Prince being on that list that is widely read and consumed probably indicates that a wide amount of people know he’s good at least. It doesn’t mean that people will hear his solos or the incredible live versions of his songs but millions of people will be aware he’s considered in that class at least of that group of people to the people that write for that source
@@djinn9345 True. Can’t argue with that.
"The neck is everything." Yes! Why does no one talk about this? Whenever I talk to a beginner about what guitar they should buy they're asking about pickups, tremolo systems, hollow body, tele, strat, etc. They always seem bummed out when I say "ignore all of that, and just pick up every guitar in your price range, and get the one you like the best on your fretting hand. In the end they always just pick their favorite shape and color. I'm being a huge hypocrite though. I did the exact same thing when I was a beginner. I wanted a white strat like Jimi Hendrix. So that's what I got. I still have that guitar and I hate how thin the neck is. I didn't want a les paul back then, but that's really what I should have gotten. Probably wouldn't have made me a better player anyway though.
Totally agree! If you can't play the guitar comfortably, it will sound bad whatever body, pickups or whatever else it has.
Love the neck on my Schecter. You are right, though. That is more important than high end electronics.
Schecters really are amazing. I have the Nick Johnston and KMII and couldn't be happier with them. Will probably pick up the Aaron Marshall as well.
Schecter for the win!
Yup. Love my Synyster Schecter
My omen elite 7 isn’t so great, but the silver mountain 8 is damn good.
i remember in the 2000s every schecter guitar had abalone all over it lol, glad thats gone
I have an Omen 6 Extreme with Seymour Duncan Distortion Mayhem pickups (instead of the stock Duncan Designs). It's my first proper guitar and I love it. Great neck feel and quality in my (uneducated) opinion, especially for the price. And I think it looks nice
Peter Buck of R.E.M., like George Harrison, is often imitated, highly influential, an amazing songwriter, and sorely underrated. Also, like Harrison, he can play several genres of guitar at an expert level.
Alex Lifeson is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time!
The solo to La Villa Strangiato is proof of this.
I don't care if a guitar hangs on my wall and almost never gets played. The point is, it's mine and it's beautiful to look at even if I'm playing the others. I also don't care that I can't play well enough to have a half dozen guitars. I have been pecking at guitars for 30 years and my 12 year old with a year of lessons plays better than me and she makes me more proud than anything. :) Thanks for the videos. Great Job.
I play for over 50 years. My kid plays like he's in polyphia I think I stink but it's not what I'm told so....anyways, keep buying guitars i have like 20. Try some cigar box bangers. Living room concerts are fun
Lindsay Buckingham doesn’t get talked about enough for how great of a player and writer he really is.
Yeah man, I once heard him on a live performance on a streaming service, lol, But yes, he plays a Martin 0-17 I think, it was fn mystical.
One of the first songs I learned to play on bass was "Holy Diver" by Dio. It introduced me to a staple of metal riffs, being the gallop rhythm. So I am 100% for any person learning any instrument playing the most recognisable songs, since it helps people learn quicker and explores a person's passion for the instrument!
its good to start learning super hard songs as a beginner. no reason why your grind to be better cant also be your grind to learn a certain song. I was inspired by paul davids to learn eugene's trick bag and that level of practice/dedication to a single song made me better in multiple ways. Certain things like how the Am arpeggio lick is actually based around foundational shapes, or learning how to do the jumps in the caprice section, make this song a good pathway for low intermediate-beginners to develop skills and knowledge.
I was so afraid to try guitar.. never mind share my experience.. but I must say.. it has been by far the best.. very very few people have bothered me.. and even the few that have I can tell it is just their way of encouraging me to keep trying.. the guitar community is a fantastic community.. I really wish I could be a better part of it.. I am trying!!
Your videos kill me man ahahaha. My favourite guitar youtubee for sure. A breath of fresh air from the hyper focussed teaching videos out there
Ray Toro is an incredible guitarist who is unfortunately underrated because of the style of music anf the reputation that My Chemical Romance has which causes a lot of people to brush their music off.
I agree! "thank you for the venom" especially is a riff that not only is extremely difficult, but really shows how absurdly creative and adept he was,
The schetcter comment was spot on my dad has a used schecter apocalypse he bought for 600 dollars and has to nice features like Floyd rose bridge and locking tuners but also has an amazing neck with jumbo frets. Plays better than any guitar I’ve ever played and sounds great.
Amp is most important, followed by the pickups, then string tension (changes with gage & scale) 👍
My first "grown-up" purchases were a Gretsch semi-hollow for bluesy funky and an Epiphone Les Paul for chunky squealy. Best combo ever... for my budget.
The white custom LP had an ebony fretboard. I felt in my soul that I needed it.
I just got the Reaper 6 from Schecter as my first decent guitar, that thing is so comfortable to hold and play, 10/10.
Hi Tyler! Don't have much to say, but thanks to Guitar Super System I learned the chords to Camarillo Brillo by ear last night (:
Disco music has some of the best guitar playing out there. Incredibly underrated, and is interesting because nowadays it's all coming back in pop music.
80s Sessions Guitarists needed more Recognition on their work on Pop Music that time.
Here’s one that’s had me thinking for a while now: If Leo Fender was alive today and entered the guitar market as a new guitar maker he wouldn’t be a household name.
And just to be extra clear, everything we have today in the guitar market would still exist. Strats, teles, and so on. Overseas manufacturing. I could go on.
But I don’t think even Leo Fender could dominate the guitar market like he did let alone even be known really.
He’d probably be a custom guy making guitars as a hobby or in his garage as a side gig for a handful of customers per year.
Henry Ford probably wouldn't be a top car manufacturer either, but it misses the point of their contributions.
@@MongoHongos That would be true also, but that's not the point I'm trying to make. The point is that even the world's most influential guitar maker to date wouldn't have success in the current guitar market with how screwed up it has become. So if a new guitar maker came along and tried to do something new that was truly a radical improvement on the electric guitar that we currently know, nobody would buy them because 95% or more of the customer base only wants what already exists and has existed since the 50's.
Schecters are amazing even without the fancy specs. There necks are usually a wonderful blend between a fender and a Ibanez. They also stay in tune very well and are very versatile.
Got to the Boss NS2 comment and now I'm curious. We definitely need a pedalboard rundown video of your main board.
I have the Schecter C-1 with Sustainiac and the Seymour Duncan Full Shred. Real Floyd with Grover machines. Ebony board over mahogany neck/body in the matte black finish. It was $1200 new and I would put it up against ANY guitar, even above the price range. The neck profile is it's most desirable feature. That smooth C shape we all love, just a bit thinner than a Strat. The action is so low and buzz free because of my setup, it plays so good and has this little secret. When you go to the center position on the selector it drops the neck side row of magnets. It sounds just like the bridge position of a Strat. It's magic. And for $1200 you cannot find another brand with those specs and quality craftsmanship. It has no flaws. GET ONE TYLER!
I especially love Schecter 7 strings. Amazing value.
@@grandarchon6969 I imagine they're just as awesome as the six string version. I chose the JP Sterling by Music Man for my 7 string. The body shape that Petrucci came up with is amazing.
Schecters are great quality. The neck and fretboard makes it my favorite guitar to play in my collection and I'm not a typical Schecter metal guy at all. Mine has a Floyd Rose and it stays in tune forever with the locking nut.
Fun rant on my favorite topic.. guitar! Appreciate the guitar philosophy and what you do. The guitar is a gateway drug of joy!
Quite surprised you don't already have a Schecter Tyler! I picked up a 2019 Schecter C-1 FR S SLS Elite Black Fade Burst with neck through body, with Sustainiac which I use < 25% of the time, as the tone of the neck pickup by itself is amazing. Also has a great sounding Fishman pickup in the bridge spot, and a very good Floyd Rose with the screw it in until it's tight bar. Truss Rod Adjustment at the "25th fret". Bought it used, almost new 3 years ago for $1,000, & saving up for the 7 string version. Please, get one of the many versions they make, I promise you won't regret it!
The 90s was the most creative time for guitarists, the alternative movement of that era spouted so much more innovation and raw emotion than the entirety of the rock genre. Bands like My Bloody Valentine, Unwound, Sonic Youth, Polvo, Duster, Don Caballero, and the various other bands emerging from the Post-Hardcore and Emo scenes brought so much more to the table than was ever seen in music history.
no
A creative time? Sure. The MOST creative time? Absolutely not
Brought more to the table than was ever seen in human history? H*ll f*cking no
Also, Daniel Johns is highly underrated. As a guitarist and as a musician.
11:00 I, after playing guitar for 3 years learned by myself how to build and repair guitars. Over this past year I built two guitars for my collection and I like them more than a lot of the other main brand things I have... I do agree with this opinion
Since we mentioned Gary Moore……….
How about Gary Richrath , Gary Rossington for underrated guitarist
One from the North one from the South!!
Both played Les Pauls and both are the reason why I do !!!!!!!!🤘🏼
Not enough people give credit to country music guitarists for their skill. From Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins through Brad Paisley, there's a lot of legendary country players that can absolutely shred.
Keith Urban is massively talented as well. Started out as Garth Brooks' guitarist for awhile, and as a solo artist has laid down some of the best country solos. The Golden Road album is just bangers. Top to bottom one of the best guitar albums of the 2000s.
Keith's problem is that his songs that aren't as guitar centered are pretty mid, and he has too many of them. Especially in more recent times.
THIS. Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins are gods and would wipe the floor with any shredder you can name. I'm not even a country guy and I know this.
Heavily agree with this. These country players have mastered virtually all picking techniques
Toy Caldwell comes to mind
Chet Atkins gets a respect from a lot of rock musicians, especially Mark Knopfler.
Fender jazzmaster is the most underrated guitar. But also the best guitar in my personal opinion it’s so versatile, the necks are all amazing, they just sound great too
Because Journey's my fave I've always been a bit partial to Neal Schon, though I could also go for Paul Stanley.
3:00 I pretty much agree. Unless your guitar is of such poor quality that it's holding you back, the only reason for getting another guitar is if you want to play a very specific kind of music that requires a specific feature. I really like Steve Bailey's music, and if you want to play any of it, you need a 6 string fretless bass. You also have to be reasonable, I didn't buy a 6SFB just to play one person's music, I write music that utilizes it in ways that can't be done without it. Scott Fernandez has some awesome music with his 14 and 18 string basses. I'd love to get my hands on those instruments and learn to play some of his music. However, to get an instrument like that of any quality would cost upwards of $15,000, add on the impracticality of stringing, storing, transporting, and rigging the instrument. I only know of one person who writes music for it, and it would take me quite some time to learn how to play it well enough to write music for it. It's not really a reasonable instrument for me to even consider at this time.
Please do a video on schecters! I just got my first one. The SLS Elite C-7. Im in love with its neckthru construction!
My unpopular opinion is that Eddie Van Halen is simply the best. He did so much for the guitar and music world and his skill and feel cannot be matched by anyone. And if you disagree just find some live footage from any era. You’ll be blown away.
I could not agree with an opinion more
@@platinumpengwinmusic5564 SRV was a Jimi Hendrix emulator. He was damn good at it, but he was still an emulator.
Gilmour da 🐐
Not sure that’s an unpopular opinion
@@Drew774 Is that a pelican?
People think that slow melodical playing using dynamics and precise bending is way less cool than minor up-and-down shredding. I´m glad there are yt channels like yours who appreciate slow emotional melodies that help building atmosphere.
Then you have Satch, who does both.
It's interesting how the "feel" players always crap on the shredders but you never see the shredders crapping on the "feel" players. Says a lot about how insecure one side is versus the other.
@@martyshwaartz971 I'm in-between, so I proclaim myself a neutral judge: oh yes they do. You just did it yourself in the most vile fashion.
Just posting because I can't stand to listen to the likes of Satriani or Vai, but not for those reasons. I think there is an angle to take here, let's see if I can produce it. I will also post my unpopular opinion on this separatly however. I find your argumentation a bit flawed since the shredder kings are super melodic, precise and dynamic, way more than the feels players. What makes them interesting is that they're not precise etc but add the human element. Hendrix e.g. never bend a note to the correct spot in his life and also never was on time ever. On the other hand, Satriani and Vai (why do those 2 always go together?) are all about slow melodies and then solo. What about the Polyphia dude? He's hyper melodic. There is such a brought spectrum, it's impossible to divide the guitar world into melodic, dynamic and precise and then up-and-down shredding because nobody of note that came after say 1970 is truly only one of those things. You need to be able to make up a melody, be precise and use dynamics in order to play the instrument, but you also need to be able to move your fingers.
Are you perhaps a bit more old school, e.g. comparing the likes of srv, Alvin Lee and Johnny winter to bb king etc? Or perhaps do you compare say the Nashville school of country guitar to e.g. Dimebag Darrel (who is melodic in the same way that Schoenberg is melodic)?
I think you have to name some names in order to make sense. Is led zep shred, is rush shred, is rory gallagher shred? They're certainly not slow and melodic and not very dynamic either. Or is this just a pure youtube thing? But then again I don't get it, this channel to me is more of a shredder channel because the guy can do it and often drools over those dudes.
@@TheKlaun9 Yeah mate, that's totally true. By the way I don't want anyone to interpret my opinion in a wrong way - I don't categorize anyone as a pure shredder or a melodical player. I'm just saying that both things (according to me) should have equal value when we listen to a composition, cause as far as our attention is concerned, melodies are sometimes unfortunately considered to be just something to fulfill the spaces in between shreds.
Wonderwall is a good song, nice and fun to play
You should absolutely get a Schecter lol. My omen extreme 6 that I got as "minor blemish" for 450 bucks is fantastic. Only thing I'm changing is the bridge (FR special,) but at the price point it's unbeatable. Neck is absolutely amazing!
Schecter has making some really cool stuff recently. I love the Nick Johnston and Jack Fowler models. Check out the Sun Valley Super Shredders or the Tempest model they make.
I purchased a Sun Valley Super Shredder about 6 months ago. I'm seriously thinking about painting _holy shit, this thing RULES!_ on the headstock. 🤟🤣
Mick Ronson is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.
Schecter thin c necks, are THE neck for me. I have a fender and Ibanez, both covered with dust, but I have 4 schecters in different tunings, that I'm wearing a groove into!
Just amazingly comfortable to me. All set bridge (not enough days in the week to fight with a fr, but that's just me) all different pups. I can do everything I need to, with them👍
Tried a couple of U-types - Les Paul, the playability is insane... the tone as well! Considering the fact how their pricing goes, I think they are rocking it right now.
Not to mention you got like $300 pieces that have a fantastic design and finish... 25 years ago, my first Squier costed more than that, and looked like utter crap + frets were wasted after a year.
Hi Tyler, Part 3 pls!
Chris Martin of Coldplay is an underrated guitarist.
Just look at the acoustic riffs from Shiver, Trouble, Spies etc from the album Parachutes. BELLISSIMO!
I think playing with other people as a beginner is the best way to practice.
Looks like I'm gonna need to start talking about every guitarist who ever lived in a high regard now or else it's the big house for me. Cheers Tyler
The easiest part of changing strings on an FR is tuning. The only thing that sucks is the rest of the work. Easy work but time consuming.
I always remove all six strings so I can clean the fret board. Once I do all the work and have all the new strings on, I just hold the bar so the bridge is level and rough tune it fast. This basically leaves you with the tension you need. Then I stretch and do a final tuning. It's always playable in about five minutes. How is this so complicated for people?
Pro tips: Use the ball end on your tuner peg to avoid the hassle of a knot and cut the end about 1-1.5" past the saddle. Should be enough to get the string in the block and not have to wind too much. Note that first time I tried, it was a bit of a nightmare getting the end in the block but after some trial and error it's super easy now. Also put a piece of plastic or hard cardboard over the foam before removing the old strings so that the bridge doesn't mark it up. I usually use an old gift card. You're welcome!
You are the only guitarist I've heard of who does this thing besides me- put the ball ends at the tuners, not the bridge.
I'm not an exclusive schecter player, but some of my favorite guitars in my arsenal are my schecters. I have 2 Les Pauls, a prs 245, an LTD, etc...... Schecter makes amazing necks and beautiful instruments.
Bluegrass is the shred metal of folk/country. Extreme precision at unholy speeds
@@platinumpengwinmusic5564 paddle faster
Having a dedicated volume & tone pot for each pickup is underrated.
This was FUN! Thanks, TYLER👍
Billy Corgan was the best riff maker of the 90s. Cherub Rock, Hummer, Rhinoceros, 1979, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Drown, Snail(the ending), Siva the list goes on. He was also one of the best at writing solos.
schecter is criminally underrated and has been weirdly labeled as solely for heavy metal but god i love my schecter is so comfy and fun to play
As much as I love my les paul, i played a schecter c6 and it felt HEAVENLY especially since my smaller hand never cramped up as it does on the Epi. I’m working to buy the C1 EA or an Exotic. I honestly feel upset for having underestimated Schecter for so long, they’re amazing
“I need different guitars for different tunings.”
“Aren’t all yours in E?”
“Shut up”
Schecters have been pretty consistently good in my experience. Between me, my dad and my brother, we own 4 Korean Schecters with various pickups and features and all of them play great. I wouldn't choose them over my custom shop Les Paul or Strat but they're excellent in their own right.
Awesome vid! You should be in the guitar, comedy and philosophy business.
lmao my band teacher back in high school told me all the drool joke that you could possibly think of being a percussionist. but then I blew his mind after practicing a lot and got on the kit one day and he didn't want me to get off it. but now I'm older and do less drumming and picked up piano and guitar. love guitar and piano both.
Being good at the drums means you have an _excellent_ sense of rhythm and timing and if that isn't something that applies to almost literally every aspect of music I don't know what is
If you're gonna try a schecter, you have to try the e-1 fr s. It's an explorer type guitar with a floyd and a sustainiac. To me it is schecters boldest and craziest guitar but I love it
I have this guitar and it's incredible. So pretty and badass at the same time. It's heavy but otherwise very comfortable to play. The E shape tends to put the higher registers of the guitar in a more ergonomic position than with an S type. It's a bit more of a stretch to reach the lowest frets but way more comfortable shredding the upper neck. That wasn't something I expected or had even heard about before getting mine and experiencing it.
@@samtoshner8002 Awsome, which color did you get?
@@Argoth534 I have the purple burst. I love it. It even has carbon fiber binding! Really rad.
I remember schecter guitars.... Haven't heard anything about them in a long time or even seen anyone playing one but they definitely had a very popular time during the late 90s and early 2000s from what I remember.
I used to get musician's Friend gear magazines and I definitely remember a couple of beautiful cherry red paint jobs that I was lusting after. Never have played a schecter guitar or bought one but for the price their gear looked quite impressive. A lot of mediocre rock bands would usually play their gear. I think the appeal was it was a great value, good sound, good instrument for the money that wasn't quite an Ibanez but pretty close, and much cheaper than a PRS. I think they aimed to be Ibanez quality and sound but with PRS styling. Probably why I remember a few beautiful paint jobs on their guitars that looked impressive.
Honestly I've always wondered why you haven't covered this brand at all because I remember it looked decent back in the day. I don't know what happened to the company but I shouldn't do some investigating. From what I can tell and based on the fact that professionals with his songs all over MTV used to play their guitars back in the day..... I think it's a quality brand....... Just more obscure.
Please do a video about their gear.I'm really curious to hear your thoughts and opinions about their overall quality, value, etcetera.
Gibson's Reverse Flying V is an awesome guitar.
Keith Urban is an extremely underrated guitarist he has some amazing melodic lines in his songs and just in general country guitarists are underrated
I went to a granger smith concert once and his lead guitarist played some of the best guitar I’ve ever heard. I think his name is Tod Howard
Unless you are a RUSH fan Alex Lifeson is one of the most underrated players, yet is one of the most talented guitar players to date.
I love Schecter guitars man. I’d say I’m kind of a Schecter fan boy haha. I have 4 electrics and a 5 string bass. For the price they are killer. I’m not a guitarist, I’m a drummer so I’m not trying to spend a ton so that’s why I have always enjoyed them. I did just get a Schecter solo 2 and damn that is by far the best guitar I’ve owned. It’s such a nice guitar and the USA pickups sound amazing.
I love the red jumpsuit apparatus reference!!!!!
I feel like bands like Green Day get sh*t on for having simple music, which is true at times, but songs like Basket Case should definitely be used as a learning tool for learning techniques like palm muting. Even songs from bands like The Offspring and Paramore are overlooked learning tools and can help a player make the step to play different genres of music and can be used to refine your skills. The same can be said for 3 chord pop songs even
Ramones are even simpler and it's hard to have more fun than with their music.
@Jason Rego gotta love the I wanna be Sedated "solo" haha
@@Hcatz123 heh yeah, Johnny Ramone was quite the character
I remember that back in the day. If you liked pop punk, rhcp etc, you weren't a serious player - you had to do boring hair metal. But 20 - 30 years later, does that still hold? I mean it's been ages, idk who has those debates anymore, but they better get over it then
People can crap on them all they want. At the end of the day.....their music, simplicity, & sound made them millionaires & house hold name. Alot of haters can't even land a local gig.
Alex Lifeson is an underrated guitarist who gets overshadowed by the other members of Rush
One of the best ways to learn a new technique is to immediatly learn a song that is a master class regarding that new technique instead of starting with beginner´s excercises. I started learning Polyphia stuff before even knowing that something like hybrid picking existed and learned Ichika inspired stuff without having played much finger style or double tapping before. Jason Richardson´s Tendenitis might as well be the best way to learn alternate picking.
Buckethead is for sure underrated. Its hard to find some songs that vibe with you because he has like 100+ albums but they’re out there and they are are so sweet.
No, he's not. People either have never heard of him, or acknowledge that he's a very skilled player, but with a very niche audience.
@@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t show me the lists of “greatest guitarists” that have Buckethead on them. I rarely, if ever, see them.
Nylon strings are definitely the superior sound and it's a pity it never became super popular in america. Luckly I grew up brazilian, and I'm hopeful Tim Henson, Tosin Abasi and Megadeth's Kiko Loureiro will teach americans how to sound divine.
Not that unpopular of an opinion, at least globally. In fact, it's what most grandparents believe.
Unless you want your pickups to work!😂
I'm kidding of course. They sound amazing.
I love RJA they’re awesome. Sometimes I just listen to them for the guitar, it’s so good
Definitely get a Schechter. I have a c6 pro and it's really great. I love the neck it's thin and has no fret sprout so no complaints here
John frusciante is one of the best song writers of all time. Huge fan and watching interviews, sounds like he writes like half of their songs
fax
His solo albums just emphasise this point
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a extremely underappreciated band and has some of the best guitar work of the 70s
And now the guy is dead
Tuesdays Gone!?!?
i'm an ibanez guy but i adore my Schecter. I have a Silver Mountain in the green colorway and it's one of the coolest looking instruments ever - and it plays that way too. it's my sustainer guitar so it gets used a lot for harmonies and drones, but it is still a shred machine. not as versatile as the RG550 or my JEM, but still a great guitar nonetheless.
I can attest to schecters quality I have one with all the features the comment stated and paid around the same price and they are super well made and comfortable
You should do a video where you try to get the worst tone possible out of the klon and the best tone possible out of the metal zone and then compare them. 🤣
Noel Ghallager is one of the most underrated riff makers of the 90’s. Yes the majority of his riffs were very simple, But that’s what makes them all work.
Do you mean the guy that everybody who has ever touched a guitar has learned at least one song from? Underrated as in most players think his music is a* - perhaps, but that's like saying knocking on heavens door is an underrated song
@@TheKlaun9 I've touched a few guitars but never learned any of his riffs, but there's still time...
@@chizorama I'm sure there is someone that never played knocking on heaven's door just like you never had to play wonderwall at any point in time, but I'm still curious to how you got around that. Don't you have millenials in your live or what?
@@TheKlaun9 Underrated as in no one really ever mentions him.
@@TheKlaun9 I couldn't stand Oasis back in the day, that never changed, & if any millennial, or anybody else for that matter, comes at me with them they will get Slayer'd at full volume.
Playing any V is more comfortable than any other models while standing. My first guitar was a Randy Rhoades it is still the most comfortable guitar to play while standing that I own.
Playing guitar is a artistic form of feeling that can soothe the soul 🤘🙏
@Davecoulter1 you aren’t Tyler get your shit out of here
If your going to try a Schecter try the Nick Johnston model (Strat style). I just got one and I’m going to sell most of my Strats now. It’s amazing. Go try one please. It is the best guitar I have played in a long time.
Real talk though, the tuning thing is legit. I've literally considered getting other guitars (literally the same Strandberg but maybe a different color or slightly different specs) just to be able to record all the different songs I want without having to adjust the intonation (it's a the ONE thing that sucks about Strandberg, the one & only thing haha) for live use, we usually juts pick sets with similar tunings, but for recording it saves a TON of time for prep, and straight up helps you work more because you're never thinking "yeah I want to track this today, but then Ill have to spend 30-1 hour to change the tuning AND the intonation, then bring it back when I'm done." Multiples can definitely solve this issue. Although I still only have 2. My goal is to have a 6, a 7, & an 8, and an acoustic. So far I have the 7 & 8 haha no 6 yet.
Dave Navarro and Adam Jones are underrated guitarists in the guitar community. They play to the music and don’t care as much to show off flashy licks and riffs all the time and I believe that they get overshadowed in this day and age.
I like V-neck-shapes. I also have a dislocated thumb and that probably makes V-necks extra comfortable for me.
Please PLEASE get a Schecter Nick Johnson USA signature. You will love it.
Love Schecter. If you look past all their obviously geared towards metal ones they have some awesome models
I love my schecter hellraiser. It's currently my favorite guitar I own. I would love to see you try out some schecter guitars.
I've had various guitar makes, and I honestly suggest you getting a Schecter. If I had to be more specific - GET a Solo II Blackjack.
I love you dude - so good. Thank you!
definitely try out a Schecter i love the necks. different feel form ibanez that i prefer and they’re great deals
11:40 I like how you made the ding sustain longer
@Davecoulter1 Ooh

Tonight, I'm begging you, please
Tonight, tonight, please
So why can't I be making love come true?
double neutral on a floyd rose is practical. makes you able to play black sabbath without tuning and go down to normal with a massive bend
Definitely get a Schecter, I suggest a PT Special or a Nick Johnston Traditional HSS.
Love my schecter. Just the basic $300 c-6 deluxe. I would love to see you pick one up and give your opinion on one 🎸 🎸 🎸
I love the Yngwie Malmsteen/David Gilmour thing. It's extremely technically impressive what Yngwie does with a guitar, but it's equally impressive what Gilmour can do to evoke an emotional feeling with the perfect "emotional" timing of notes and bends rather than being technically perfect and in meter, it just depends which you value in your music listening.
Chris Poland is one of the best and most underrated guitarist of the 80s
heh, my friend Earl Stark never changed his strings on his D-18, I think he used the same strings for 18 years or more, he would simply wash his hands before he touched the guitar and wiped the guitar down well with a towel afterward. the strings were still clean and crisp with absolutely 0 rust, in fact, they looked and felt brand new. But Bluegrass music isn't as tense to perform. Tyler, Devin Townsend has made his entire career off of open C.
Man I’d LOVE to see you play the solo from Modern Day Cowboy- Tesla
