    Should we make a lesson video for the cowbell part next?

    I’ve never seen the animated fretboard before. For me, it makes a huge difference. Corny cowbell references aside this is a fantastic lesson. Bloody brilliant!

    Seen other tutorials (and they're great) but never seen one that breaks it down simply like this with the power chords (other tutorials seem to use barre chords). Awesome lesson. Thanks so much!

  • @squirelova1815
    @squirelova1815 3 года назад +1

    I was fortunate to see Blue Oyster Cult at Mohegan Sun in CT and Buck was playing an interesting looking "Swiss cheese" guitar. That's how I first discovered Vigier guitars and if anyone is worthy besides Sir Bumblefoot of such an incredible instrument, it is definitely Sir Dharma.

    • @ShiroiTengu
      @ShiroiTengu 2 года назад +2

      The Swiss cheese guitar is a Steinberger. In fact Buck calls it the "cheeseberger"

  • @sarblade
    @sarblade 3 месяца назад

    Great lesson, one of the things you don't point out that is great for beginner to intermediate players is your picking pattern. I know you mention it but demo it would be great. I myself play it three down picks and up on the G string.

  • @Abenjohar22
    @Abenjohar22 3 года назад

    Great lesson with fret board
    It helps tremendously however if you could write notes on string it wil be so much better.
    Thanks so much great lesson on you tube with nice details

    All the cowbell talk ruins the beauty of the song. It’s very low in the mix. A crew member plays the cowbell in the wings only during the bridge and not on stage
