    Where did all these whiner baby's in the comment section? This man is giving away this knowledge for free and people have the audacity to complain. People would have killed for guitar instructional videos this cohesive pre-internet! People like Troy are integral to the growth of music as a whole and I just had to say something because this man deserves so much respect for the work he has done and continues to do. Yall' bitches need to learn to be humble!

      BJ EJ is my biggest influence and his technical skills and mechanics from the late 80’s through the 90’s was something of a marvel. Never been equaled.

    You amaze me, Troy! Of course your playing, instruction and presentation are stellar, but the neutron star metaphor was out if this world! You are the guitar teacher for the modern age and someone I can totally identify with when it comes to cultural references and guitar mechanics minutiae.
    I have every expectation you will parlay this project into something even more epoch-making in the near future. You are just too damn talented!

  • @kigahaskell

    Troy, your videos are what I had always wanted guitar instruction videos to be. I look forward to them and check them out immediately as soon as you post them. Excellent work, sir!

      ***** Thanks, Troy! I just signed up for Masters of Mechanics. If you put it out, I'll pick it up. :)
      On a separate note, are you considering attending Vai Academy this summer? It's just a few days but you'd get to hang out with both Steve Vai and Eric Johnson. I bet if you bring the magnet, you'd be able to get some nice close up footage from both of them!

    I love this lick! I think Eric plays it in F to eliminate the open string harmonic noise left ringing when playing it in E.

    People here are like "I don't want to hear about what we're doing I just want to see you play what we're doing." How the duck is that going to teach you anything. LISTEN to the man. He's teaching you music not JUST guitar. Appreciate his teaching genius as well as his plying. You might find yourself writing something based on these ideas instead of just playing the lick in question. He's giving you context.

    As a flawed, indeed (in many ways) half-assed guitarist, it's amazing how I can rip off descending sixteenth notes, but I find ascending so difficult to cleanly pull off.

  • @noisyneil
    @noisyneil 8 лет назад +6

    for those of you who are only interested in the harmonic octave note, and couldn't care less about over-analysing one of eric's lines, use the knuckle of your thumb on your picking hand to scuff the string as you play it. experiment with position as it's beyond the fretted part of the instrument. you'll get it.
    troy has an amazing capacity for analysis and is clearly an outstanding picker, but he tends to go on a bit!

    • @QuikdethDeviantart
      @QuikdethDeviantart 8 лет назад +1

      lol. spot on. I go to Troy when i want to exhaust every aspect of a topic... his analyses are without peer in the world of RUclips guitar info but you are right, the title is a bit misleading... thankfully I've had the pinch harmonic technique under my "thumb" for quite some time now... 😂

  • @rockinroy
    @rockinroy 8 лет назад +1

    VERY COOL VIDEO. I LIKE THE WAY ERIC ATTACKS THAT LAST NOTE FROM THE BEGINNING EXAMPLE. THERE IS A SLIGHT GAP OF SILENCE PRIOR TO THE LAST NOTE ATTACK. IT IS SUTTLE TOUCHES LIKE THIS THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
    YOU ARE A GREAT GUITARIST. I NEED SOME HIGH TECH EQUIPMENT LIKE YOU.

  • @SomeDudeOnline
    @SomeDudeOnline 9 лет назад

    Haha! At 2:32, I set the RUclips video speed to .5 to make sure I had all of the notes right and before I changed it back to normal setting Troy started explaining the sequence but at half speed. So he sounds like a child explaining something to a younger child.

      Gordon Ramsay lol, this reminds me of a live radio show that eric played for once. If you look at the video, the people at the radio show set up his equipment badly, and his signature tone was just murdered. Eric immediately starts shaking his head, and I can just see him shouting and swearing like Gordon Ramsay in my mind.

    Hey Troy, how difficult is moving through scales and arpeggios on piano vs. guitar? Is it more intuitive to learn on your own through practice on piano? I want to learn piano, I'm just wondering the time investment required for fluency versus guitar. Thanks!

      @xthatghomiex2939 6 лет назад
