The 6 levels of “Stealin Ya Girl”
Sometimes you think you have found the perfect RUclips Chanel for Guitar lessons and technique and then you stumble upon The-Art-of-Guitar and are blown away. His demeanor and voice make what he is showing and teaching you seem possible for me as I am still a beginner. Have watched 5 today. Thank you for putting up such great content.
One of my favorite warm ups is Hammett’s soloy part in for whom the bell tolls. It’s great to down pick or alternate, with or without palm muting.
Breaking news:
^This man will steal your girlfriend, your views, and your Guitar tone!!
Thanks, Mike!, love ur videos!!
Yeah but I’ll give them back when I’m done. Haha. Well maybe not your views. 😂
Heh, lol, you can keep em! 😁
Rangam Sarmah Veri sad
If i can master these riffs he can have them
Can you put the TAB bar little higher when you edit the video next time? The YT red bar covers the low E when I stop the video. That might be helpful for more viewers. Thanks
Btw thanks for awesome tips :D Ive learn a lot from to you.
I was just about to say the same thing. I had to go to ultimateguitar.com to get it. YT banner/logo? blocked the tab when I paused :)lol. Good concept though, instead of just playing boring finger exercises.
Never really thought of using actual musical riffs as warm ups. I normally just go through scales and a few chord progressions. Thanks for the vid.
Guns 'n' Roses greatest hit and signature riff was originally Slash's string skipping exercise...
Cool shirt anyway though
the 6 levels of shirts you wear:
level 1: Fireball Whiskey
level 2: Led Zeppelin
level 3: San Junipero 1987
level 4: Red Hot Chili Peppers
level 5: that white and black shirt with the black hand on it
level 6: this shirt, that doesn't have an in-between button, but probably should, because yeah it says "i just hit on your girl at the club"
This just made my week!
Level 7 : Clif Burtons denim jacket
Rhcp and shirts are like an oxymoron
You have the best warm-ups on all of RUclips.
I laughed out loud at the beginning when you explained your fancy shirt hahaha
Keep it coming, you're awesome :)
Some other warmup riffs I can think of are Snow (Hey Oh) from Red Het Chili Peppers and the solo from Megadeth's Sweating Bullets
Thanks! And you were cracking me up in the beginning. 😁
Papa Roach - Last Resort has a riff that is a decent warm up as well.
The Trooper - Iron Maiden intro riff is fantastic for a quick, simple legato warm up
Master Of Puppets - Metallica, the single notes riff is a decent warm up as well
Rainmaker - Iron Maiden intro riff is also a good warm up
master of downpicking if you will
Excellent video. It's been long time i was searching this kind of exercice for stretching my fingers and getting more agility. Thanx a lot.
Keep on going like that
Wow this is so convenient, today i have to play outside (its winter here) and i really have a hard time when trying to warmup, great videos as always!!
The bridge riff to Back in Black by AC/DC is also an amazing warmup riff using all 4 fingers
Mike, this is great. There are a number of things to take from this. Interesting exercise and ideas to take these riffs and repurpose them. Thank you so much for your great work. How rewarding it must be to know you are helping people be better musicians and get more joy out of their playing. So grateful...
Best guitar lessons on RUclips by far!
This has broken me out of my stale warm up routine! Thank you!
Powermad was such a great and underrated band and "Nice Dreams" is one of my favorite metal songs of all-time. Saw them open for Overkill at the 9:30 club in D.C. back in the day.
I love your videos so much. They really help me better develop my guitar skills and when I watch them it just makes me wanna pick up my guitar and play. Thank you!
i just started learning and wanted to say that your videos are helping me sooo much!! i’m now aware of many things i probably wouldn’t be if it weren’t these videos. thank you!!
Hey'as ... Just wanted to drop you a kudos, out of all the music instructors you are one of my faves, very clear and straight forward. Keep up the AWESOME work Bro !!!
Shirt aside, this video is ingenious... I've seen similar ideas on YT before but this is far and away the best I've watched. Ten highly useful finger exercises in the can, along with ten great new riffs to jam on. So twenty new items for your guitar toolbox in just over ten mins. Wonderful stuff indeed.
One of my favourites to warm up with is snow hey oh
This guy's lessons just make sense, best I've found on RUclips 👍
The chromatic run in the sweating bullets solo really warms me up
I've been using the bluesy scale from "Jump in the Fire" as a wamup for a while now but haven't seen anyone on YT apply yet! it looks really challenging especially (as you mentioned) using alternate picking and palm muting together which is a really coordinated and difficult action. Your videos are amazing, fun and educating as always Mike! keep it up
I will be learning this “warm up” for 6 months 😂 Great video man, thanks for the tips!
Sameee 😭😂😂😂
Holy Wars is a great warmup riff.
Edit: Holy shit, didn’t expect to see Ashes In Your Mouth! Underrated song! Subbed.
I did a whole Megadeth video.
The-Art-of-Guitar Will watch!
2nd half of “Jacobs Ladder” by rush is another great repeating riff that’s complex and changes its position on neck a few times too
Thank you. I really needed warm-up exercises that taught me more than just the exercise.
Good tips, exercises and productive scales are the only thing that really motivate. Great lesson brother..thank you😁🤘
pantera floods the ending riff is a great strech and pinky warmup
Great vid, I like the little ascending run in "Nothing Else Matters" as a warmup, also.
First riff is way cool! I will be working on these not only for the physical exercise but to develop my rhythm (or lack thereof).
This is so well thought out…seriously thank you! Great exercises
Why you have only 0.25m subs? This quality content deserves more
Thank ye for the upload on my Birthday! Great content as always
Green grass and high tides is a fun one to start out with. Great video as always. Thank you!
Crazy Train riff (the way you play it) has been my warm-up exercise ever since I learned it on my acoustic. I did not have an electric but I still wanted to learn rock and metal. Now that I play an electric, it still remains as one of my most effective warm-up exercises because not only does it involves almost all fingers working but muting to make it sound cleaner. I start slow and then I keeps speeding it up. Great and effective content as always. Cheers!
Mike love your videos. I really am going to try hard to learn guitar this year. I've been on again and off again for about 7 years due to health problems. I really hope I can learn. I've always loved guitar and you really inspire me to continue.
Awesome excercise, really makes the blood flow in my fingers. Cool songs choices as well
Life in the fast lane started as a warm up riff👌🏽
Great lesson I use the crazy on you riff from Heart as a warm up for anyone who isn’t into all the Heavy metal lol
Love the Pretty woman and crazy train ones too ! Thanks and Rock on ....🎸💃
Just discovered your channel, your videos are absolutely brilliant!!! Loads of usable stuff to learn!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!! Cheers 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much for sharing these great warmups!
Sir ! Thank you so much ! Greetings from Philippines !
Really enjoy your videos as a beginner you really make it easy to follow. Thank you
Your SG is awesome! Great video by the way;)
What a great warmup idea! Thnx! Sweet SG btw!
Having a blast with some of these. Thanks man...
Love this channel. Help my fingers learn new moves!
message in a bottle has the same fretting pattern (almost) as pantera's floods outro which is also a great practicing riff
Great video! My warm ups will be much more interesting now. Thanks
Those are fun exercises/ Thanks for posting!
there's also some RHCP songs that i like to use as a warm up:
- Can't stop
- Whatchu Thinkin (the main bass riff, the guitar plays it on the middle of the song too)
- Soul to squeeze
- Under the bridge
- Dark necessities (the solo)
- Snow (But I can't play at full speed yet)
I've never realized Floods was just like message in a bottle.
Nice exercises, thank you very much!
That sg is really nice, cool video!!
Fury It does look really nice, a friend of mine has a white SG as well
What's hilarious is that the ac/dc riff was actually a warm up exercise Angus used to do until his band heard it. Pretty cool.
Very cool lesson...
Ps i love your white sg
Great vid. I also like to use two riffs from The Devil's Orchard by Opeth. The first is the part right before the vocals kick in and the other is the diminished triplet riff underneath the held vocal notes in the main verses.
Smoke on the water is a great warm up too
REALLY REALLY HELPFUL! Thank you!
Look at Mr. Stealyogurl over here.
this is such a great video to get a kid into technicial practice! thx man
This is very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks this really helped me. Its fun to play and I'm getting better fast.
thank you for your videos man help me out a lot !!
Such a great tutorial man thank you....the only thing about exercises like this is that there’s SO many that there’re basically endless...which is see is good and bad if you’re like me and feel like you need to do all of them...
I love that Jump in the Fire is on here because I've been using it as a warm-up for a while now!
I think you came upon a great way to warm up while using riffs that most guitar players would know. Hey people learn to give credit when it's due. Keep on Rockin'
I like your videos. Also your intro talks are always funny with a little story.
Helpful video
Thank you very much! Great video
My hints: Jump in the fire, The Skull beneath the skin (intro), Master of puppets... and so more Megadeth and Metallica songs you can use as exercices
Alan B Jump in the fire is an amazing warmup building up speed
Alan B Take No Prisoners is literally a song of just warmups.
Master of puppet...realy ?
Alan B Hiw about the opening guitar riff for for whom the bell tolls 😂
Try out the intro from Walk with Me in Hell by Lamb of God, it is kinda tricky to get down though.
youre easily my favorite youtube guitarist to take lessons from
This is very helpful, thank you!
The riff from Plug In Baby by Muse is a pretty nice warm-up too :)
I'm not even done watching and can tell you I'm going home and trying this out, thanks man
You're an dam good teacher. Keep on rocking mate
the tone is very beautiful. and a very beautiful sg
i think tornado of souls is an extremly good warmup :)
Dude!
Never expected to see powermad here in this video, I love that album and that song, of course
Nice video. Thanks a lot!
Dude a beautiful sg well done
Thank you Mike !
Love the video, love the shirt. Don't apologize. Keep it up! 😉
This video is great!!...you just made scales fun!
I think, that a really good warmup is intro riff from "Constant Motion" by Dream Theater. It can be played with all 4 fingers, it can be played with downstrokes only or alternate picking, and it can be played in a loop. :)
Interesting. I've always played message in a bottle with an open "A" when hit that portion. Less hand movement. But a little difficult to hit that portion clean. Love your casual, fun, yet thorough way of teaching.
I also contend that when Andy plays the riff he slides the Eb down to C# while hitting the open A string when starting that portion of the riff.
Thanks for sharing bro!
All you are missing is a soul patch and some indoor sunglasses. Jokes aside, I love your videos dude and you have been such a great help for me in my journey. Keep doing what you are doing.
HA!
Saved this to favorites just because of the Power Mad reference.
Loved that band!!
Dude i wanna see a guitar collection video if there hasn’t been one i love all of ur gear dude 🖤🖤🖤
You’re awesome I love all these songs
Classy lesson, Mike 😅
