I saw this guy at Ozfest in like 2002 maybe. Never heard of him. He is playing an absolutely screaming solo and throws the guitar down. The strings are just ringing out with deafening feedback. He pulls out a six pack of budweiser and slams a beer. He tosses one or two out into the crowd. He slams another. He tosses another one or two out. Guitar is still laying there just screaming. He picks it up and keeps soloing. The most goddamn rock and roll thing i have ever witnessed.
He quit drinking now.
You never heard of Zakk, but went to Ozzfest? WHAT?
@@murf1mikejr I went for Black Sabbath but am always down to discover new artists. Not my style but i have to say that Marilyn Manson put on one of the best shows i have ever seen.
@@z_sloathe5672 buddy you know this was ozzys guitar player lol
@@Hohnathan Well he was one of them, yes.
I love when he actually talks instead of joking. I enjoy his jokes, but I love his genuine love for music.
Yeah as funny as he is its always hard for me to watch his interviews because he only says something serious one out of five times he opens his mouth lol
Yeah, it makes me wonder if someone talked to him and suggested maybe he dial back on the stupid jokes a bit. Also noticed a big lack of pinch harmonics on Grimmest Hits (I think there was like 2 on the whole album) so maybe he’s chilling out a bit
Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed. It's been a while since I saw him normal like this. Ha-ha. Awesome video.
@@sandysores9381 I highly doubt he cares about whether someone says anything. Im sure it’s depending on his moods. Also, he and Dario are splitting parts now and it seems his pinch harmonics are lesser.
@@edreynolds8721 he went the whole time without telling the story of making Ozzys sandwich and bringing him cat food.
His playing is so fucking clear. You can genuinely hear every single note he plays. It's crazy. Not many guitar players have that level of clarity when playing.
I was thinking the same thing. Playing distorted songs on clean channel. Amazing how much fret buzz he allows. I'm gonna drop tune my Explorer tomorrow 🤣
Fuckin insane genious amazing true dude
It’s fairly common in the jazz realm…. Still, awesome, nevertheless.
when you understand music and not just try to replicate it, it's crystal clear who the true artists are
Zakk looks like a biker Viking but he’s openly a guitar nerd with insane dedication to the craft, he lives and breathes that shit and it shows. It’s so unbelievably clean, props to our New Jersey lord
His vibrato still sounds insane even with the clean sound
Widest vibrato in the game
@@MrEricPymm*wyldest vibrato
@@Desperado665 nice!
I respect that he did this with a clean, quiet guitar sound.
he is a class act. delete me at will. the only honest person.
Sure, but nobody who listens to metal can honestly say they weren't dissapointed that the guitar didnt have some heavy distortion when he was slamming those pinched harmonics!
Zakk has played all kind of acoustic stuff.
@@anylife_photography Well you cant really get a good clean squeal from a pinch harmonic without distortion + gain...So when I saw him do such thing i was like "damn wish he switched from clean to distortion". Oh well
@@freakb0y311 I'm going to delete you!
I like that he calls Ozzy "Oz" and "The Boss". So badass lol
@@chrise.3814 😁🤭
Zakk is a modern guitar hero, so modest and respectful to all the other guitar legends. Cheers for the video.
the Wyldemeister!
Zakk must feel so weird with today's guitarists. So many act like a bunch of fruitcakes when hard rock and metal is supposed to be masculine as fuck. I appreciate Polyphia but man Tim Henson sometimes dresses like a little girl lmao.
From a Hello Kitty guitar to an actual guitar, Zakk has come a long way
He played that hello kitty guitar better than I can play my PRS.
Really goes to show its not the guitar that makes it sound good but the skill of the player and he is in another dimension to me.
Lol
And he knocked NIB out the mf park with that hello kitty guitar! 😂
More pink, anythung for pink.
No longer excuses 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
This man literally speaks through his guitar. I don't think he said a complete sentence that wasn't finished by a guitar lick lol
and that's when the "you know" appears. it's like "you know" and ends playing smth
I was thinking the same thing, he's totally in it when playing, even just noodling.
This is how a conversation or interview with a musician should be, especially when they're holding or are at their instrument.... there's no irritations quite like hearing somebody talk and talk while strapped with a guitar or sitting at a drum kit and not playing a note or stroke the whole time....
I think when he does speak the most without any guitar going on it's during his very interesting and random annologies explaining the guitar, which I enjoy btw.
Zakk is a beast and BLS forever!
Music is a language after all
He’s the kind a guy who can teach guitar to anyone.
Amazing artist and player
Sign me up!
Me too!!!
Think id just bullshit with the guy. Maybe get a guitar lessen while doing it. Lol. Great dude
Probably the only teacher who’d be able to get me back into it tbh
He’s obviously got much more ability than I ever gave him credit for. Great player.
Most of them have.
and who are you?
His books pretty good too.
Those pinch harmonics around 6:35 really are not easy. Especially that clarity with no distortion, holy shit
Man has an uncanny ability to pull off sick harmonics
They are easy, just practice
Im a novice but that sound was always easy for me. My friends who play ask me how do I do it, but I can't explain it. It's like "I just decide in my mind that must sound like that and it happens". They hate me cuz I'm not an advanced guitarist, lol
@@cdsmetalhead99yea, I'm a mediocre player at best and it's ez for me.
am i the only one seeing hes not pressing his thumb to the back of the fretboard with his left hand? I just tried that. Yeah, not easy...
His playing on "No More Tears" made me a fan of his a long time ago. Still one of the greatest guitar solos in my book.
One of my favorites as well
Absolutely agree, it’s one of the best ever.
That’s my favorite solo of all time. Short, to the point and oh, so tasty.
Stripped it right back to pentonics, no fancy tapping ..no more tears solo outstanding...
Ditto
Zakk's humility always comes off so sincere. He knows he is a guitar God, no need to be condescending. Awesome stuff.
He knows his accomplishments, but he's never even really attributed it to his own doing. The man is more than grateful for everything he's been given, and never loses sight of his respect for his own heroes and the legends that have paved the way. He fiercely defends the legacy that he's been charged with carrying.
He has much to be humble about
Man of Faith 🙏🙏🙏
LOLOLOLOLOL
I agree. I don’t think he thinks of himself as a god. He thinks of himself as a student, and that passion has never left. You can hear the excitement in his voice when it comes to technique and theory. I’m sure he has more places he wants to go with the guitar, and that’s the real beauty of it.
I'm always fascinated by elite guitar players with really weird quirks in their technique. I never realized how often Zakk plays without his thumb touching the neck!
Up high on an LP gets you doing that.
for some parts it's better to keep it behind your neck to use it for support
Yea, I don't think he actually plays like that, he was just messing around showing some riffs, if he were really seriously playing I wouldn't expect him to do it without that anchor behind the neck.
Zakk knows both the scales: the pentatonic *and* the minor pentatonic!
Not the major pentatonic (the dicky betts scale)
@@NeverTalkToCops1 he knows what a major 3rd is im sure he knows the major scale, btw major and minor there relative. Same fingerings exist in both scales all positions
Haha
@@rtk90083 its technically all you need but might are well know all the modes and jump up to more understanding
😂 all two of them, huh?
I love that he's being serious and chill here. Sometimes I can't watch his interviews because he's constantly trying to be funny.
Awesome player with insane stage presence.
I agree with you. The "manroot, Viagra and steroid joke can only be so funny after hearing it 10000 times. Dudes definitely ate up and I love his sense of humor...but those same ol buts he goes to gets old. I'd much rather hear him be genuine when it comes to videos or "hangs" like this.
Totally agree. His comedy routine is nauseating.
That fucking infomercial he did for the box set was fucking hilarious. I have to give him that one at least
ples respt idol
Most of the time he's so stoned, he has no idea he's repeated the same jokes a million times because everyone is still fake laughing at whatever he says, regardless of the amount of humor involved...
Laughing my ass off when he said, when you drop your pick, it goes off into another dimension 👍😂. Gotta love Zakk.
Totally
In some other universe it’s probably raining picks haha
Hes not wrong, every time i drop mine i have 0 fuckin idea where it went
And it lands into an inter-dimensional beings mouth. The being says “mmmmmmmm......yummy”. 🤣
It’s true man I can never find the dam thing
He is an unbelievable musician.
Hats off to Zakk for acknowledging one of the most underrated guitarists of all time...Alex Lifeson.
Underrated? Alex is amazing, but underrated? He and Rush are far from being underrated.
@@MegaThrasher95 ok, thanks.
rush is the best band ever, right next to van halen and def leppard!
@@liamwashburn234😂 great that you like DL. Rush and VH are Premier League. Def Leppard might be somewhere in League One on that scale.
@@MegaThrasher95 He might be say in the light of Neil he is underrated.Hell i don't know
Thinking about a conversation between Zakk and Jim Root "d'you know what I mean" "I know, you know what I mean" "I know?!? ...YOU know what I mean, know what I mean?" ...
yeah I know what you mean lol
@@seanwatkins5510 i know, right ...d'you know what I mean?
I think I know what you mean 😅
You know I know
What are you meaning?
This album is coming out on my dad's birthday he is gonna be listening to it in heaven
He will love this shit !!! big up
Heaven isnt real. Your dad is gone forever.
Probably not
@@Ottophil 🙄
@@pnwlife8593 Nice!, preach it mate, I also believe that. Our brains cannot even comprehend what's on that higher dimensional real cause were trap in this physical matrix at the moment. And that's also good coz we can still enjoy playing our guitars. :)
That Pride & Glory riff is one of my favourite rock riffs ever. That band was superb.
Love how Zakk calls Randy “St. Rhoads” and the other terms of endearment he uses for other great players.
Zakk just seems like such a cool dude, just super chill and a killer guitarist as well. Definitely one of my favourites
"You know what I mean?"
Man you're in every guitar video's comments section.
Jagannathan Iyengar I watch a lot of guitar videos
@@jagannathaniyengar4369 you too or else you wouldn‘t know he‘s there. let dude living his life 😅
Are you from the U.K.?
Your ear is your best teacher. Play, play, play, play, and play until it sounds good to your ear. I'll never forget when I got my first electric guitar back in 83 and I was trying to make any semblance of good sound coming out of it and getting nowhere. In frustration, I hit the strings hard and accidently hit an A power chord. It sounded powerful and amazing. Hitting that chord was the start of it all and my ear taught me so many chords that I didn't know the name of until many years later. 38 years later, I am still learning something almost daily. The guitar never stops giving once you start playing it.
“Guitar never stops giving.” Been playing since 89. I agree with you.
Agreed. And you know why? Only “your ear” knows what YOU like and really, deeply, moves you.
"The guitar never stops giving." So true.
Right on broham! I started in '84 at 14 yrs old. At first its like an alien weapon you have no idea how to use. If you keep at it tho,the sky opens up when you get " the moment ". Mine was stumbling thru a whole Gary Moore song. More or less lol. Your guitar is your best friend.
@@careful__Icarus Couldn’t have said it better !
Who's disliking this. I love the complete honesty. Every guitar player is inspired and pull
from their heroes/favorite artists.
dudes who don't know how to listen to anything if it isnt tuned 2 steps down with screaming vocals
You know rolling stones had a top 100 guitarist list and zakk wasn't even on it!!! 😲🤟 such a shame dudes a beast
his remark about Ozzy at the end had me LMAO. Love hearing how great musicians learned their skills
Rare to see Zakk be serious, honest and frank in discussion. It's usually all jokes and laughs.
I'd bet there was a good amount of editing done to present that.
I love how he plays everything clean.
That's what kept me watching 👍
Zakk is insanely technical as much as he plays filthy pinch and crazy heavy riffs
It's so cool to see how songs started making sense when they didn't at first. I love the humility and that we're all learning in the same way.
It's really cool hearing one of your favorite guitarists speak about playing their favorite licks and it sounds like you are listening to yourself. It's that ability to relate to other musicians that makes it real special.
I’ll always be a huge fan of everything Zakk does. Dudes a monster guitar player on all levels.
Do you play guitar?
Get him a beer,
And you know thisssss, mannnnn!!!!
Gotta love that pentatonic scale a million miles per hour..
@@daveyboy8907 No one shreds those five notes like Mr. Wylde!
Love the way he explains how to acquire your own sound: "If you dont wanna sound like Yngwie, get rid of harmonic minor and sweep picking. If you dont want to be compared to Van Halen, dont have stripes on your guitar and dont do tapping.
If you dont want to be compared to ANY guitarists, you dont need any string actually, just lose the guitar"
And this, kids, how I managed to master my air guitar.
What color did you get? I hear red air guitars are mellow
That was funny as F**K!!
Bahahahaha🤣🤣🤣
Before I picked up guitar at 13, I used a aluminum tennis racquet!!
Truly an original.
I actually love that he explained why he plays the way he does, and it makes a lot of sense!
tuned a little low for my floyd to jam along with... but love me some Zack. Hitting the stop and backing it up several times to grasp some of his technique. Very cool. Thank you Zack, very kind of you to take the time to lay it down for us.
Take a drink whenever Zakk says, "You know what I mean?" Lol
Came to the comments for this
Good Jersey lingo!
Man! You know what I mean?🍻
That’s what we do in Jersey lol
@Chris E. like you 😂 lol
Man...imagine if Dime was still around and they got in a band together..
That would of been amazing… wish he was still with us, man.
@@swiggidy1scorpion brother, they’d be melting faces !
@@Job.Well.Done_01 oh, there is absolutely no doubt!
Imagine if zakk dime Vinnie and rex were today's black label society lineup being that Phil would've most likely gone too far with the needles
Your comment almost made me cry😔. I met Dime back in 94 at a signing. He laughed his ass off when I plonked my I Am The Night cd on the desk for him to sign🤪. Phil looked like he wanted to bash me😂.
It’s insane the riff knowledge Zakk still has, even playing original material for 30-40 years. He’s seriously the coolest dude.
This guy is mind-blowing. 🤯 His love of music and the love and respect to the artists before him
What a man!
What a beautiful man
I concur 100%
Not only is he endorsed by Gibson and Marshall but the man plays his own God damn guitars that makes him a god king wild Saint Rhodes
No I think that's salt and Peppa
@@bryangraf2838 O
There is no questioning Zakk's chops, but there is something beautiful in not only how he played all of these riffs clean, but also how diversified they are.
if you cant play like this (him) your doomed man, its cliche!
I love that he's totally comfortable sitting there with a completely bare naked guitar tone and doesn't feel like he needs it loaded with gain and delay. Great player.
10:09 "Losin your mind" Love that song. wish i could see him playing that song live on a stage again!
thought im the only one xD
I came here to find the name of that song! Thank you!
@@onhate pride and glory
Imho he is a great blues guitarist, he chooses metal and it's ok but I hope he will mix both together again in the future
I like how Zakk made honorable mention to Randy and Jake showing respect to their work with Ozzy. That shows a lot of class and I respect the hell out of him for that. I still listen to Zakks live guitar solo from 1993 it’s an awesome piece of work.
In other interviews, Zakk is constantly giving them respect as well. referencing Randy as "St. Rhoads" and such.
@@coolman1610 I didn’t get to see Randy play live but I did see Jake on The Ultimate Sin tour. That was a great show.
The one thing I loved about Zakk is that he's probably Randy's greatest fan who got to live the dream of walking in the legend's footsteps. Dude didn't come in trying to change what was already written, he was respectful of Rhoads' work, but still left his own mark. It's impossible to not love him tbh.
@@virgilthemob1242 Great point. There’s a lot of bands who get a new guitarist and suddenly it’s as if the original never existed, and is never spoken of again. Of course that probably has some to do with the circumstances of how they departed, especially if it’s an acrimonious break rather than a fatal accident.
I love the riff from ‘Man On The Silver Mountain’ by Rainbow. Blackmore was a riff master.
Blackmore is one of my all time favorites!
Stargazer has a bad ass riff as well
Agree..Malcom Young & Tony Iommi as well
Ritchie was the master PERIOD
Classical starts all the greats
I absolutely loved this interview I feel like he is the most underrated he's one of the best so interesting to hear why he used the blues early on... He plays those pentatonics like no one else.. He has the most unique style and now I know why because he didn't want to sound like what was mainstream so he started kicking everything out till he had little left but he took that little bit and squeezed something out that was unique and masterful... Such respect I have
riff master and one of the few genuine people out there. thanks for what you have done and cant wait for more.
I love everything about Zakk......he is humble, likes to joke around and yet he still praises his idols as well as his old guitar teacher........the dude is friggin awesome....I am so glad i have 3 of his pedals on my pedal board when i gig
How much are is Pedals?
@@guskuratlejr232 it depends.....I got one for $30 new on a Black Friday sale and the other 2 I got for $25 each used......I think brand new they are way more expensive
Zakk is one of a kind. He can talk all the technicalities, but in the end, he is one of the greatest of all time.
Listening to the best in their profession is always fascinating.
Finally caught Zakk live last year. He's amazing . Much love and gratitude.
“See what you can do with 4 crayons.” This man is an American philosopher. Like Mark Twain. Looks like Twain, too. But, plays guitar. Incredibly well.
Plays great like how mark Twain wrote great
It's about using limiations as a springboard for creativity. See Jack White for a different take
@@xion7697 He’s full of bullshit.
An American philosopher? Really? Then you don’t know what philosophy is. The 4 crayon analogy from Dick Wild is not original. He regurgitated that from what he heard. Tell me who originally used that analogy. He plays guitar adequately. He’s not an innovator. Gus shit is pasèe
His guitar technique is insane and it shines when he is playing simple stuff musically.
I saw him with Oz back in the day and he was amazing. Oz was throwing buckets of water on the crowd and there were two different times Zac slipped and landed on his back. Then he like ninja jumped back to his feet and if you had not seen it you would never know he fell. Never stopped playing. No noise. That blew my mind.
I only saw Ozzy live once but Joe Holmes played guitar, not Zakk. It was strange though because Zakks band BLS played at that concert too earlier in the day, It was at Ozzfest. Holmes did a great job though, he's a good guitarist too.
What a chill dude. He’d be an amazing guitar teacher.
I’ve always loved Zakk’s playing. I remember when Ozzy introduced him on Headbangers Ball as his new guitar player. Then when the album came out, I knew he was a tasty player. I never understood all the hate that flies Zakk’s way about “he just plays pentatonics” or “too many pinch harmonics”. What he said about taking away what everyone else was doing and what he was left with and become proficient at it makes total sense. His pentatonic runs are so clean and lighting fast chicken pickin’, you know who’s playing right off the bat. Killer player!
this is cool. he's funny. "no whammy bar,no tapping,no harmonic or natural minor, no sweep picking. LOL! "what can you create with 4 crayons","so simple we're down to one note". "when ya drop a pick it goes into another dimension". funny guy
Yeah, i really liked the 'crayons' idea 🤙
It's funny he's talking about what technique is connected to what players, but not really mentioned is how connected he is to the pinch harmonic. I mean, him & Dime are bith known for that, but really its his.
@@Sorrowablaze Yeah, my man Zakk definitely owns that technique. I think that what makes it so good when Zakk or Dime does it though, is how wide their vibratos are. It's not the same if you do it like Kirk😜
"when ya drop a pick it goes into another dimension"
I can verify this.
Been plenty of times where i drop a pick & IF i find it, it's like 20 + feet away.
Many, MANY get dropped never to be seen again.
Kotor forever
Down to earth. Great teacher and human being. Thanks for everything.
When I learned to play the ACDC Black album.. it was a breakthru.. it was attainable.. 3 chords mostly.. brilliantly played.. cool to hear Zakk had the same humble beginnings..
This man speaks and plays as if the guitar is an extension of himself. So honest and pure and talented. Love him.
An extension of himself. Ew.
A few years ago he came to San Diego to play at guitar center and I was excited because I will finally got to meet him, but I had to work that night as manager at Denny’s so i couldn’t go to meet him, then these 2 huge guys enter at my restaurant and one of them was Zakk, I was in shock I couldn’t believe it, we talked for a while about his plans, his tour and other things, he is an amazing guy and a humble human being, my wife brought me my guitar he signed it and we took a few pictures ( still is my profile picture) it was a great night lol
Very clean and calm guitar player.
Saw this amazing guy way back in 1986, a special early appearance with Ozzy in Wormwood Scrubs. He blew us away then and has not failed to deliver since.
Jake E Lee was with Ozzy till early 1987.
BILL SHIT
Alex Lifeson of RUSH getting credit for a breakthrough riff is cool. (Spirit of Radio) Especially for us RUSH fans. Alex really is an underrated guitar god.
One of the top guitarists ever. Top 10
Anytime a comment uses the term underrated, you know the person knows nothing about what they are commenting!
Rush blows
@@topfloorstudio2684 If Rush isn't your cup of tea, so be it. But don't be an ignorant douchebag. You know damn well those three guys are legends. I don't like Aerosmith all that much, but I know they are talented and loved by millions.
That one riff in Free Will still gives me chills when I hear it and play it
I like that he mentioned Hotel California when he was talking about Mama I’m Coming Home because the last lick of that solo is 100% pulled directly from Hotel California.
Yeah something I always noticed and wondered if Zakk used it as an inspiration or if he was even aware at all that it sounded the same lol.
@@SpeedDemon88X I’m sure it was an intentional homage. He knows his stuff too well to do that by accident.
@@ltsmash1200 yeah he's well versed in A LOT of music. I see him liking and commenting on many musicians on Instagram I'd never expect he would know, or enjoy.
Watching Zakk from 21 years old until today has been nothing short of a blessing. The guy wasn't a Rhoads clone, he was like the love child of EVH and RR.
He’s an accessible guitar god. Zakk is all over, talking, showing licks, and spreading love. He is a rare bird. We all love you Zakk! 🤘🏽
I'm definetely no metalhead, but I really love watching Zakk talk about his guitar playing. Seems like he'd be an awesome teacher.
He's not metal anyway. lol.
Zach I've watched you since you were that skinny tall blonde-haired young man. You're one of the few guitarists who actually evolves and gets better and better.
In my opinion you're one of the greatest ever and deserve your place in history as such. Aside from being a phenomenal musician you're one hell of a great human being and I wish you the best always God bless you buddy.
Thanks so much Zakk. I heard you first on cassette with “Miracle Man” and was obsessed with pinch/artificial harmonics. Saw you in Tampa a
Year later and headbanged till my head practically fell off.
Great GREAT interview. Loved the part about how Zakk took out so many guitar tools from the toolbox just to get a unique sound that was his signature and not someone else's.
I'm always happy how Zakk mentions Jake, since he's always ignored sadly by Oz
I could listen to Zakk Wylde talk for hours, he seems like as big a fan of music as he is an artist
You have a very unique signature riff. It caught my attention the first time I heard you with Ozzy. No rest for the wicked incredible introduction . Masterpiece metal.
I love what this man does...huge inspiration for any guitar player
I love when he stops talking mid sentence and finishes his thought just by playing. It's a testament of him favoring using his guitar to speak for him.
Yup
The influence of angus and AC/DC on so many guitar players is truly incredible
I did EXACTLY the same thing with Spirit of Radio as a kid. My future new best friend in high school showed me what was up. I always did everything up high when there were open strings involved. My '71 Les Paul Custom had very tinny sounding pick-ups for some reason.
Maybe they were out of phase
I actually lucked into it just noodling. I was like "woah! WTF? Thats Spirit of the Radio!" Having said that theres a zillion others I played wrong. And probably still do. But not many 🤘
Ahhh when he breaks into Losing' my mind, I think I lost mine. Been loving his sound for nearly 30 years. He makes good eye candy too.
Argh 'Losin' Your Mind' even. Yeah, Lisa. You done fucked up.
This guy is such a workhorse, just as fresh hearing him in 2021 as it was years back when I first came across Zakk - hope to see them live again soon! Thanks for sharing!
To see that in his band doing the dimebag Darrell benefit in North Carolina where I live and it was a awesome we got to sign his guitar they passed around I thought that was a great night of great music watching him
I love the way he presents the trademarks of the big guitar players and says "don't wanna be compared to x, don't do y". And watching him walk so fast through a traditional pentatonic pattern...practical inspiration without being overly heady.
I’ll never forget I was about 11 in 1991 and my Dad took my brother and I to the Milwaukee Auto Show and we sat inside some new car and the radio was playing No More Tears and my brother and I acted like we were checking out the car but in reality we both were completely mesmerized at the song we were hearing, it was incredible and epic, and still is. Each second felt like time stood still, we didn’t want it to end.
Solid stuff.
Really like hearing Zakk break down riffs etc.
Amazing player! Filling in for Randy and creating his own sound goes to show his talent! What a beast of a player!
No doubt. Very happy for all of his successes.
I have always loved and respected Zakk for his playing, humor, and most of all class- he ALWAYS respects those who came before him. He has inspired a whole generation himself (like Richie Faulkner).
My life has been a complete and total misery ever since Bigfoot stole my precious girlfriend in the middle of the night.😒 He even took all her clothes and the T.V.
It was epic hearing Zakk Wylde say 87, the year I was born. I've been a fan since I was first able to listen to music in preschool. I still love his music now and throughout Zakk's career. I'm a lifelong fan. I like and love Zakk Wylde and his music. Thank you for all of you and your entire career and all the quality time you spend with the people who truly love you. I appreciate you Zakk Wylde. Thank you with every fiber of my being.
Great interview. Thanks
What's really cool and proves his deep musicianship: Zakk is able to let the instrument breath and ring, and in the same time he keeps the time and the groove happen.
Met Zakk a few years ago, great guy, and he treats you like family lol. I went in for a handshake and he gave me a hug instead . Just a hilarious guy and awesome dude. He signed the back of my BLS sweater on the logo, and it’s still hanging in my room!! 🤟🏼 can’t wait for the new BLS album next month !
Zakk is so humble, total legend
The crunch of the guitar in No More Tears is iconic you to me. I fell in love with your style when you were with Ozzy
6:31 Zakk casually doing perfect pinch harmonics... on the most difficult string...ok
Huh? I find pinch harmonics so easy
@@dotslashsatan yeah same it’s not too difficult. I also find the lower strings actually easier to get harmonics out of too
The day that I nailed those kind of squeals, I started to do them on all my own riffs and in every song we cover, now my band hates me, nice
Wdym hardest string? The A string is probably the easiest
@@diamondminer7464 i think most people does. The high strings are dificult to pinch harmonize
"when u drop a pick and it just goes into another dimension" lmfao
This gentleman creates the most heavy solo ever in No More Tears song. A masterpiece. 🍻👌🏻
So articulate. Best lessons for beginners. So true. Everything.
Zakk: " you know? im like *diddly diddly dee" but then I you know *bwow bwooow din deee* but theres *boop bwim bipitty bwwoww*"
I instantly realized that a non player would hear gibberish. lolol He literally speaks with his instrument. Such an enviable gift.
Tangerine was the Led Zeppelin song an ex showed me when we were together. Heard him play it and got Nam flashbacks.
Amazing how Zakk can create such masterpieces with 'four crayons'! As a guitar player myself I have been inspired/influenced by lots of guitarists including Randy Rhodes, Steve Vai, Richie Sambora, Steve Stevens, Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix and many more including Zakk. I gotta admit; I do love incorporating tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, harmonics and whammy bar in my playing, and of course pentatonic minor scales.
Zakk is one of those guitarists the make the guitar look so easy to play the guys a genius !
