- Hey everyone! here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Michael Lee Firkins Licks From 1996. I featured Michael a few years ago on the LNL channel and since that time I've had a lot of requests to feature more of his inventive and fiery playing, and he's currently touring Europe alongside Chad Wackerman and Stu Hamm on the Freeway Jam Jeff Beck Tribute concert tour, so I felt it was a great time to dive into more of his impressive and finger-twisting licks - so let's dive in!
This lesson features a handful of ideas pulled from a live performance in 1996, which captures Michael strutting his stuff with a full band, and his playing was flawless and inspiring throughout the concert.
The ideas shared here include a signature hybrid-picked melodic phrase from his song 'Cactus Cruz,' a bar-dipped slide emulation phrase, a wicked sequenced pivot shred idea, a terrifying slip-n-slide sequenced run, and much more!
Needless to say, if you're a fan of Michael Lee Firkins timeless music and guitar playing, a player searching for some new licks to add to their bag of tricks, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this lesson is totally for you!

I first heard Michael Lee Firkins Laughing stacks on a floppy 45 rpm record. It blew my mind how different it sounded to other guitarists. Legend!
Don't know whom this is but I never want to quit learning 👏✌️💜❤🤍💙! Thanks David.
Firkins is just an all around awesome player with a very unique sound. There is a live video on him on YT (Yamaha Guitars 1991) which is kickass playing from start to finish... some tasty sweep licks around the 21 min mark. Rain in the Tunnel still one of my favourite songs with an epic outro.
Nice vid. Firkins was THE guy that was willing to avoid the shred trend and establish himself as a unique player.
Great observation great point 🤘🤘✌️🖖
The most underrated "shredder" ever imo
years ago in the 2000s, not longer after i started playing, i noticed one day the sargasso sea was in amongst my music files. no idea how it got there, and it took me forever to find out who the artist was because it only had that title and there was very little info about firkins on the web at the time. i can't explain how much that album blew me away. to this day it's still a top 10 guitar album for me.
One of the best Shrapnel artists
Firkins is a monster. Like how the hell does he do that!? thank you for the content!!!
Thanks again! Greatest channel on RUclips. I've loved Firkins since he came out. Caught him at a clinic at Reliable Music in Charlotte back in the day. I don't remember the amp but he only used one of those yellow boss overdrive pedals, and his sound was exactly like the record, all in his fingers. ❤
Nice job, thanks David!
Thanks for putting this lesson together David. I wore out that 1st MLF cassette tape lol! When I saw Jeff Pilson was playing bass on that album, I knew it was going to be awesome. "Space Crickets", "Rain In The Tunnel", and "Deja Blues" are absolutely killer tracks. The phrasing, the mixture of styles, the speed and then softness of his playing are so unique. I also had never heard anyone play with a whammy bar consistently like that (as I was not familiar with Jeff Beck back in the day, I was only about 80's metal/hard rock). Nevertheless outstanding player, who never got nearly as much credit and recognition as he deserved.
Oh, yes, Blues Saraceno's Plaid album was really really great that time, really listened to it a lot! And Firkins "Deja Blues", also such a great song!
Amazing lesson.
Cool licks Dave.
jJoey Tafolla is a monster too. 🤩
Another excellent lesson!
Randy Rhoads....please, please.....please!!!
Awesome
That first album was something else . I honestly thought he would kick on and be the next Jeff Beck. All round great guy and still doing shows all over the world . Great video Dave I’m going to try these on my Pacifica 1221
Great lesson!! Michael is a monster player and totally changed my understanding of “shred” guitar when his debut album came out. Hearing Michael changed the way I play for ever!
Thank you, David! Michael Lee Firkins is one of my all time favourites!
Last example is a fantastic scale exercise
Right when you played lick 2 I was like man that sounds like slide ha ha great stuff David 👏👍🤘
Great choice once again Mr Brewster by the way watching your right thumb movements while you're picking is a treat Sir
Oh man, I don't even try to play this hot stuff, no way. But it is a nice video to see, thank you Dave
Been a MLF fan since the beginning, I just can't play his stuff because of how he uses his fingers. As soon as I saw the name I was like, oh man, give us that opening sequence to Rain in the Tunnel, which is really melodic and bendy. I used to make all my students learn it because it's a great practice/bending exercise that sounds fabulous too! Maybe do it on video 2 of MLF!
Dave, great lesson as usual. Could you do a lesson on the solo from Guitar Shop by Jeff Beck?
That is one of my favorite solos of all time. Every time I hear it I have to rewind and listen to it 3 or 4 times. Like did that just happen? Just sick!
Oh hell yeh
Thanks, David you’re awesome❤
❤👍🔥
Great lesson as usual Dave!!! Keep up the great work 🎸🤘
Excellent. Watching your right thumb technique during the fast passages is inspiring, Dave. 🤘🏻
Wow I knew I couldn't be the only one that notices that I love it, looks like it is made of a more flexible material than mine lol
WOW never heard of the guy. Great!!! RIP DICKEY!
Nailling the tone brother!
Now Yamaha just need to bring the best Pacifica models back....
Ace lesson.
Dude you should do 3 Marshall Harrison licks you'll never play. That'd be fun. MLF rocks his own way.
❤😊✌️🫶🎸🤘
Please Do a Video of Vito Bratta Licks from White Lion. He' such a Good Guitar Player in my Opinion
Don't know whom this is but I never want to quit learning 👏✌️💜❤🤍💙
