    When you start playing guitar and you hear all these legends doing pinch harmonics, making the guitar scream I thought it was the coolest thing.
    I remember looking up how to learn it and being confused and couldn't get the sound to come out for ages and kinda gave up to focus on toher things then one day I just did it messing around and it clicked.
    The pure elation i felt, I think I was rock hard for a week.

      This was me with legato and hammer-ons/pull-offs, especially how it's done in a lot of minor pentatonic solos. I heard them being combined a lot and was like, "How the hell?" and then one day, I was playing, and it just happened, and I realized how to combine them. It felt like learning a song for the first time or something.

    Tremolo sounds entirely useful in, say, an Italian-style-guitar setting. For shredding, sure, it’s a bit simplistic but there are really fascinating recordings where the guitar is primarily doing tremolo melodically.
    And I LOVE barr chords but also I’m absolute garbage at nearly every other thing on this list so I prove the point 😆🫠

  • @WillCherryOfficial
    @WillCherryOfficial Год назад +12

    barre chords and tremolo picking are great. The benefit of barre chords is that it allows you to make a variety of chord types with any root using a simple, adjustable shape that can be put anywhere on the neck, and you don't even have to barre all of the time (you can mute the high strings instead). Also just because tremolo picking is "easy" or a "cop out" doesn't make it bad. It's a valid technique that can be used to build speed in your picking hand, while also being somewhat impressive

    when i got serious about guitar i banned myself from using capos when playing live with my band (we did mostly simple pop stuff) so i would be forced to get really good at bar chords, and it worked--I find myself gravitating to bar shapes naturally now and love coming up with complex, creative bar-based voicings! A clean tone with huge reverb+chorus on a big, bright bar chord high on the neck is truly a magical sound, and I find myself using them a lot for ambient sections of tracks. You can also do some really cool stuff with big bar chords in a midwest emo fast strumming with overdrive kinda style. They still hurt my fingers to play for more than 5 minutes tho LOL

      I also disagree with barre chords. I play for my church more than anywhere now that I have a toddler. What I've noticed by being the only instrumentalist and sometimes only singer, Barre chords are a necessity. Playing triads or power chords with no other back instrument sounds very hollow and empty. While I agree that they are annoying to use, I have to admit they have their place depending on the situation.

    Love slides and vibrato I think bends are kinda over-done but they do sound great. I also think harmonics got dismissed way too quickly. Yeah, everyone learns them at first as just a cool clever tuning method or checking guitar intonation and such but not only do you need good accuracy and finesse to consistently hit them perfectly- actually incorporating harmonics directly into a song, especially in fast licks it's hard and feels really clean/refreshing and just sounds awesome when accompanied with dissonant chords (e.g Tim Henson, Manuel Gardner-Fernandes and so on). Would love to see more 'artificial' harmonics in music too because you can drop all the natural harmonics down by whatever fret you hold a note on (or capo) then you have to hover and pluck at the same time with your other hand, meaning almost any note could become a harmonic'd version!? (mostly used in unplugged styles and I've seen Jonas Lefvert abuse this maliciously and it adds so much depth to any arrangement) Talking about signature and such, I can see how integral it is in Polyphia and defines their style giving a lot of their music that 'essence' so I would instantly put it at S tier- minimum B as a deceptively hard one and sorely underappreciated yet has so much soul and overlooked potential (especially when it's combined so often with fingerpicking which you guys put in S)

      Guthrie is a great influence, and a fantastic player to emulate because his vocabulary is so diverse. You can really learn a ton of techniques but also musicality and phrasing/touch from a guy like that. I would start by working on some of his riffs (from Erotic Cakes and/or Aristocrats). Then try learning some licks from his solos. You'll need strong fundamentals before diving into his stuff though, so a teacher never hurts. To get started, I would learn some essential riffs and licks/solos from 70s - 90s rock. This way you have some easier stuff to practice that will help you become a stronger player. If you rush into learning Guthrie stuff it may get discouraging quickly. "Waves" and "Fives" are the best Guthrie songs to start out with though.

    You talked about natural harmonics, but I don't think there was any mentions of artificial harmonics, harp harmonics or tapped harmonics. As a huge fan of Eric Johnson, the ranking of harp harmonics especially would've been really cool.

    I would argue palm muting is difficult in the same way alternate picking is. Palm muting as a basic thing is easy, but when you really try to enhance the rythm by changing which notes you palm mute etc it can be a fairly deep technique. I'd argue high C or maybe even B.

    The only thing I fully disagree with is the take on barre chords. They aren't that difficult to keep in tune, provided that your intonation is properly set up; or have too much gain on your signal. Like any other technique, it has its time and place. If you're in a large ensemble, fully voiced chords (open or barred) will clutter the mix. If you're in a "classic power trio" type of group, you need to fill that space.
    The hardest part of learning any technique is when to employ them. There are times where tremolo picking is more appropriate than a legato run and vice-versa. It's about musical context and not ego stroking.

    Dre was showing his stuff and Tyler held back trying not to look competitive. What a shame. The 1-upping battle would have been glorious. Come on Tyler, you're a guitarist!
