  • Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Nigel Tufnel Licks From 1984. So, I figured what better way to kick off the month of April than a terrifying lesson with the greatest guitarist in the world, Mr. Nigel Tufnel - so let's dive in!
    The concept behind this lesson hit me after the recent announcement that Spinal Tap is returning for another film, so after locating a rare bootleg of Nigel's historic guitar solo from the first film back in '84, which captures Nigel in his expressive and aggressive glory, I felt this lesson would really inspire all of the viewers out there with an assortment of tricky bits and challenging licks.
    The ideas shared in this lesson include some controlled feedback examples (one with violin bowing techniques), a tricky melodic sequence that is almost impossible to play, an advanced and difficult b5 melodic phrase, a brutal shred lick that will keep you awake at night, a finger-twisting symmetrical idea to punish your fingers, and much more!
    Needless to say, if you're a Spinal Tap or Nigel Tufnel fan, a player searching for an intense challenge on the first day of April, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this lesson is totally for you! Give this episode a view, leave some comments/feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!
    And one more thing - Happy April Fool's Day!

    I have an old Guitar World where Nigel Tufnel teaches how to use facial impressions that go along with the notes you play. Complete with photos of the expressions and so on. Also how different kinds of screws used for screwing the pickups to the body affect the sound, it makes more difference than one could think at first. And how to use your hair to play harmonics. Of all the lessons in Guitar World over the years, this is the one I still find most useful.

      It's the April 1992 issue if you want to try to Ebay it. Spinal Tap have the cover while the Yngwie lesson blurb is relegated to a tiny insert in the top corner. That says it all about where on the guitar player totem pole Nigel Tufnel is.

      That was the best thing about it for me. I was probably about 13 whenever we somehow got HBO for a minute in my house I’d already been playing guitar and had studied the Binge and Purge videos so obviously I had heard of “Tap” but just catching it a few minutes after it had started and being young and still figuring out what pro wrestling actually was I just wasn’t sure if Spinal Tap were real or if it was just a joke, turns out it’s a little of everything. Love Spinal Tap just the inside jokes that come from it , I can pretty much tell who I will get along with by causally mentioning “this one goes to eleven” scan the room looking for anyone cracking a smile ok they get it they are probably cool .
