    Oh my god dude, that little tip at the start about tuning some strings flat. THAT JUST BLEW MY MIND. it helps SO much! I'm a very hard picker as well and always wondered why some strings and notes would sound sharp regardless of how accurately I tuned. Amazing! Love the riffs in this too, this all sounds great, definitely found a couple more tricks to add to my arsenal ;)

      from what I understand, it has less to do with hard picking (I'm that way too, that's why I'm interested), and more to do with the fact that it's physically impossible for spanish tuning to be in perfect pitch- from string to string, at least. Tune all the strings to the exact frequency they are supposed to be, and even if you pick very lightly, a couple strings (the B string especially) will still sound like they are out of tune with each other. That's why Eddie did the de-tune trick where he played the G and B slightly flat. When I learned that the greatest of all time used that trick, I felt vindicated for all my friends that have made me feel like I'm going crazy for hearing that something was out of tune all these years.
      Edit- I learned that little bit of tuning history from both Pete Thorn and Tom Bukovac!

    I wanted to thank you for your tip on detuning the B and G strings on Floyd Rose guitars. It also works with guitars that have larger frets. I've played out of tune so many times and messed around with intonation for hours, and this simple tip fixed it instantly. I never would have thought of it myself or thought it was an acceptable thing to do, but coming from you, it's like an "approved" way to tune. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Nice. Lots of good info on that style in this video.
    That pulsing palm-muted pedal tone against moving upper dyad and triad stabs was _really_ popular for years. My mental nickname for it was (and still is) "The L.A. Sound." You played Motley Crue's _Looks That Kill,_ it was also heard in Great White's _Stick It!,_ Dokken's _Just Got Lucky,_ Ratt's _Round And Round_ and many others. But it seemed to be popular with bands in L.A., maybe even as far away as San Diego, not the East Coast or the Mid-West or South, or even other West Coast cities further north like San Fransisco or Seattle.
    One thing you missed demonstrating, though, was that descending root against the same 5th thing we heard a lot in the Eighties. The most famous example is probably from 38 Special's _Hold On Loosely,_ but it was all over pop metal in the Eighties--Dokken, Great White, Ozzy, Quiet Riot, Def Leppard, you name it, even AC/DC.

The '80s were still near and we still drooled when we listened to those rockstars, but living in a small town with no electric guitar culture around, no other players to grab skills from, no decent guitar setup, no internet, the best you got were those photocopies of lessons with no audio that someone lent you for a couple of days, which of course mostly led you in wrong, non-musical, unnatural ways of playing, so you just ended up quittting. 😂

    With the epidemic of one dimensional chugging, and shredding going on today, ANY rhythm guitar lesson (80's or not) is something that should be flooding the internet, and lesson studios, worldwide. There's what's now close to 2 generations of guitar players who buy 7-string guitars, yet have no idea how to play a chord, because they're too busy beating on the low-string with a jack-hammer. It's absolutely destroying amp demo's for that matter. But, digress... *One thing I'll add to this is that, you'll notice Euge isn't playing anything faster than maybe 120bpm. If you don't know what that means, you can get a free metronome online these days. Learn 3 chords, and milk the living SH*T out of it, and you'd be surprised what cool things you could come up with. The magic is in the simplicity of it....not the speed, and technical complexity.* Another, somewhat unrelated topic is that compared to today's gain, the 80's guys (including Eddie) used VERY little gain. Listen to Fair Warning...that ain't a Diezel with the gain dimed (another huge epidemic today). Yet, that early 80's tone started a MASSIVE amp craze that to this very day is being chased. GREAT video Euge...you see VERY little online today emphasizing the importance of this.

    This was cool and quite nostalgic. Amazing how the 80's riffs are so influenced by each other. Would love to see you do a deep dive in "Looks that kill", it's a groovy song! As for equipment and guitars, I bought a couple of guitars just for the cool looks and wanting to own them. Usually this means a lot more play time out of pure enjoyment. I usually don't sit down with a Jackson King V though, too uncomfortable, a strat is much more convenient. It's like Wolf Hoffman of Accept says that he's not playing a Gibson Flying V on all those classic records, it's usually a super strat, much easier to handle in the studio.

    • @OgamiItto70
      @OgamiItto70 Год назад +1

      For playing a Flying V sitting down: Sit lower. Like on a couch instead of a chair. Your knees should be slightly higher than your thigh socket. Sit on the edge. Put the crook of the V over your right leg if you're right handed. There you go. If you sit up high in a chair or on something like a barstool, that V will want to slide off you.
      Wearing a strap helps, too.

      I don’t really know how to explain it. Sometimes I hear them in my head and then I play what I hear. If I hear something happy I’d start obviously with something major, if the song calls for evil solo, and the harmonic ”structure” supports that I might go with some Phrygian stuff etc. But many times I’m just noodling until I come up with something I like. Sometimes the leads are complitely written and sometimes complitely improvised. Sometimes I write the lead part (chords) so that they support (a lead) idea I might have. It’s kinda like writing songs. You either know how to write songs or you don’t. If I knew where they come from I’d be a wise man 😎. So the answer is what was my original answer. If it sounds good, it’s good.

      Production specs do differ through the years or even batches, though, but that's unavoidable in any industrial production gear, especially something based on paper, glue, and a couple of turns of wire around the voice coil.

    Ear Training!!! Rewinding cassettes over and over and over again, lol. No need for ear training anymore with a million tabs and tutorials available... too bad really.

    For me every guitar player should learn how to play the blues and some classic 80's guitar riffs even if you are not into it. It makes you a much better guitar play imo.
