    Being a great guitarist doesn't necessarily make one a great teacher, but in the case of Joel Hoekstra, he is undoubtedly both. He may not be a household name, but he certainly should be.

    Joel, you're such a bad-ass player, man... and I love your lessons, so clear, so easy to understand given the straightforward way in which you explain every bit. A huge thanks for the help, you've inspired me to be a better player in so many ways. Rock on buddy! yeah!!

    I n all my 40+years of playing, this guy is just about the best guitar teacher there is. He breaks it down, he gives just enough of a lesson that isn't overly complicated yet compels you to want to dig in and learn. Joel Hoekstra wants you to learn more about playing the guitar.

    I'm so glad to see JH teaching something I use quite a bit. When I saw this lesson in the magazine I smiled pretty big lol! Of course the latter part of the lesson is something I'm learning but that's the beauty of it. More cool, new licks to add to my playing. Thank you JH!!!

    Glad I found these lessons, Joel. Really cool ideas, why didn't I ever think of them?😊
    In this one specifically, the shifting technique is a lot like "side stepping" which is common in jazz improv.

  • @theotherbrittany
    @theotherbrittany 5 лет назад +2

    THE DOPEST INTRO! I literally never ever feel the need to fast forward your intro song and one might not think about it, but that happens ALOT.. some peoples intro songs are just wayyy to much. Yours is epic but like tastefully epic! And not to long. Also that sweet background that looks like some gypsy patterned tapestry??... super cool!! Ha!! Love these lessons! 🤘🏽😝💀

    Wow!....Phenomenal guitarist, demonic mastery of the fret board and a great teacher as well. On a side note, if you all are interested in "outside" phrasing to incorporate with your soloing check out the late Alan Holdsworth. His approach was so esoteric, I believe that he must have had a link to some musical alternate universe.

    Hi Joel !..great playing and teaching !..and Whitesnake has always been one of my favorites bands !..... I am from south america but I live in Spain...I'm a professional guitarrist, (Session,Touring,Musical theatre ) and teacher as well,and saw many of your videos,which are amazing and very useful !! I've been playing rock,pop,and classical music for many years,since i did all the classical training in London many years ago....No problem with legato,hammer ons,stretching etc with my left hand ...but... One thing that is dificcult for me is the "hybrid" and "tapping" technic...because I use fingernails for playing classical,and everytime I try some of those styles,it harms my nails !!...so,I will keep on trying until I find the right angle !....Thanks a lot for your videos...very clear and helpful !

    He visto varias intervenciones tocando en concierto y hace casi todo (si es que no es todo) lo que enseña en estos vídeos... Nada se guarda, cuando otros si lo hacen.
    Joel, es realmente un Héroe de la Guitarra, porque a parte de tocar genial la guitarra, desinteresadamente (?) entrega sus conocimientos para hacer de este mundo un lugar más rockero... Admirable. Genial. Maestro. (Y)

    For anyone who is having trouble stretching out their fingers like he mentions, try playing guitar in the classical position (the leg contour of the guitar resting on the left leg with the guitar at a 45 degree angle as opposed to the traditional way of holding the guitar on the right leg as he does here). This makes playing with the left hand much less uncomfortable, especially on big stretches. Almost all of the greatest metal players I've seen use this position, and I actually use it as well

    • @joelhoekstra13
      @joelhoekstra13 8 лет назад +2

      That's a tough lesson to teach in 12 bars in a magazine, but learning your modes in EVERY key is a great start and 3rds and 7ths of each chord are typically the most appealing notes for melodies..

      Finger size does not matter that much (ouch don't tell the chicks that, they don't know). Seriously though, I've got small hands and never had a problem playing almost anything and circles around many people. Including the Ice Cream Man stretch. Until I was told I had small hands I never noticed. I am 5"9' though. Now I've got a complex. ;) I was telling a 22 year old 5"2' girl how I could teach her guitar and we compared hands. Same size. (Facepalm). Got it from my grandmother (double facepalm).Joel great lessons.
