Tracii is so underrated- great at rhythm, lead, songwriting, riffs…
SO TRUE @Kevin
He is also one of the nicest guys ever. He didn't have to let PlayThisRiff into his house but he did. Thanks Tracii!
This is great... How am I seven years late to the party? (Saw them live in 1989 and loved LA Guns...)
Don't care what you call it. You are THE 80"s fiddle God. The riffs the songs THE TOUCH. THE STYLE. Still one of your biggest fans. Please teach us.
Been a fan since the 80s, wish this was an hour long.
Even though I'm an '88 baby, he's still one of my gods. I'll defend Tracii til death, without him I'd never have picked up a guitar..
@Artoo Deetoo dude i was born in 88 lol.. I love Hollywood Rose if that's what yer asking, but Tracii was better off in L.A. Guns.. Plus who else can say you have TWO bands with your name as a basis?
yea this video is "never enough"
I agree Guns was cool back in the day but I never really knew much about him or how really good he was so yeah this should be a longer interview..that song Malaria is epic. First heard that back in early 1990 off Cocked and Loaded friend's cassette style. One of the first CDs i bought back then was their first album LA Guns self titled. So many awesome riffs and cool song stories from those 2 albums. Hollywood Vampires, not bad, a bit patchy but still all cool, Over The Edge very cool song.
Tracii Guns is a true master of rock guitar. Class guy...really good dude. Love Tracii Guns.
To me it's grit, groove and feel that's what makes this cat special. Tracii truly is one of the greats!
straight up in your face Rock and Roll
Wow. He's really articulate and descriptive. First time I've heard Tracii speak.
Tracii's been a very fine player for 3+ decades. Nice lesson. The original (first 3 L.A. Guns releases) are my faves.
the Cocked and Loaded album changed my life.
Absolutely...give the last two a listen. Both are incredible
One of the Guitar Gods right here Mr Tracii Guns
I think that’s so cool that Tracii mentioned Johnny Thunders. I also like Rhoads but the classic Thunders stuff too.
Tracii... So cool that you did this. Thank you.
If it aint "Dirty and Sleazy" it aint Rock and Roll mate !!
Tracii Guns is truly a guitar god ,to have such a passion, command, and technique of the instrument totaly blows me away he is the true embodiment of the word Rock Star
Tracii Guns is an amazing guitarist. I saw him many times up close with the Starfuckers in 2000 and 2001 at the Cat Club in Hollywood....and my gosh....he was just awesome!!
+psan72 me too! i worked at Amoeba helping them open and Dragonfly. he really is great! i love the Starfuckers...
psan72 h
Well.......I wouldn't call his playing sloppy. Sounds pretty precise to me.
It mattered to me then and it matters to me now. I have always admired your guitar style.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC TRACII!
Glad he gave Mick Mars props
I always like when Tracii gives props to Mick Mars
Tracii is the best. Love to see the Old Peavey Classic 50 behind him..lol. Was considered junk back in the 90s when I found one mint for $ 50...they do crank it out if you have a decent pedal up front, and amazing into a Celestian greenback speaker.
TRACII Guns is the man ! Hes not sloppy,hes damn good ! La Guns isnt the same without him..Period
He’s brilliant. He plays with a lot of feeling above all else, but he’s also very good.
great video. Tracii knows his stuff
Tracii, Mick Mars, slash, ace. Love that sleazy shit!
tracy raak right on man. You just quoted every influence on my playing. Loud an dirty.... Like good sex. Lol.
That's rocknroll!
This is great. Love the energy on those early LA Guns records!
They still got the energy in 2018
Haaaaa! I remember you Traci when you were 15 or 16 and used to come over to Mike and Dave Yagos house and jam in the garage. Good to see you're still jammin brother!
Tracii's a natural -- at home, on camera, behind a guitar...
He's never given up! Literally stuck to his guns. Great musician and nice dude. I got totally messed up with him in McAllen tx and boy can he party! Awsome night with l.a. guns!
highly underrated player
Well People can have their favorite guitarist from their era. Traci guns is my favorite guitarist from my era.
Jesus Christ what a killer sound.
I love that Tracii has a silver stripe USA Peavey combo in his room!
Previous to viewing this video I did not know that Tracii used solid state amps on the first album. Though he explains the tone in terms of rhythm, I hear it most in some of the leads, where there is a flatness, hard clipping, and almost 8 bit texture present. By way of contrast, tube amps tend to be spongier and warmer, with more sag. Though some might call me a tube snob, I also have a fetish for vintage (60s-80s) solid state amps. I can't imagine the first L.A. Gunns album with, for instance, the tube amp tone of Slash. This solid state guitar tone is inseparable from that record.
Thumbs up on cool looking guitar action !!!
love Traci ,can do it all , raunchy melodic under rated player
Excellent, I am glad I was there in the begining,
I love Sleaze. It's a genre all it's own. For some reason it's my main style of playing on guitar. Love it.
Jon Villalobos how would you describe playing sleaze?
Super distorted, sloppy blues based hard rock.
That ARMS concert with Pagey is really last gasp of old Jimmy. As for Thunders...lovely slop and just ballsy
hes in the same ligue like Lynch or Vai and did the best RR tributes ever
Lov Tracii Brilliant Guitar player,, seem,s a cool Guy in all interview,s,,,an a funny guy at times ,,
My favorite guitar player. Always had a major crush on him and phil Lewis! Love l.a.guns ! My favorite!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩😀😀😀 big l.a.guns fan!!! I adore this band and tracii and phil!!! Long live L.A.Guns!!🤘🤘🤘 yes the best music ever . Amazing riffs. Yes crank it up!! The louder l.a.guns the better. My car the speakers only play l.a.guns my radios broken to anything else I tell my friends who ride with me. Sorry my radio plays l.a.guns only!! I've converted people from other music likes to l.a.guns I've taken them to the dark side. Muh ha ha ha ha ha ha!
he said michael schenker....my favorite g-player
+Peter Barosso He played with Schenker in Contraband I believe
+FreeMTrider I know. I loved contraband Bobby bloxer, shark island guy etc.....good tunes
Peter Barosso
I had to look that one up after I saw your post. How cool. Schenker is at the to of my list and I love Tracii's playing. The dude has everything that a rock star is.
Epic talent!
Sleazy is not sloppy playing in my book. Love that heavy hitting full tone rock n roll.
More of this. PLEASE!!!
Have that same crappy Peavey Chorus 212 in the background. It does well as a monitor
What a gem of video, thanks!!
Amazing!!
That is One Bad Ass Guitar !
Love Ya Tracii !
Love My DEAN V's ...
I Want That 6 String 🇺🇸
this was cool, wish it was much longer
Born to Lose...Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers...CLASSIC !
Totally underrated player.
This could have been 2 hours long and still been too short
Sorry- no offense to rockers in general- but when I first got this LP in jersey everybody thought you guys were guns and posers- the record rocked then- it rocks now and I don't care what your like in life- your music kicks ass- nice set ;up and keep on rockin!
Wow hez so kewl
First 2 seconds tracii is like "so... ahh.. let's talk about"
and i'm thinking............ TALK ABOUT .......L...OOOVVEE
TALK ABOUT LOVE
I'VE BEEN AROUND THIS CRAZY WORLD YEAHHHH
LOL
I remember them playing in Austin back in 2007 and him saying look at all these crazy Texans.
Please tell me that is a peavey audition 30 in the back ground. I got one for christmas in 1986 maybe 87......my grandma's place got broken into.....and it was stolen.... I loved that amp. Dammit man
Haven't seen one since
Wow he used solid state amps for the first album! That makes sense with the raw guttery tone...
The master guitarist
it's funny he mentions that some considered him a pioneer of sleaze guitar. I remember being 15 yrs old listening to sex action, no mercy, electric gypsy, one way ticket, shoot for thrills, bitch is back etc and thinking "man these guys are some nasty rockers" lol. What a great sound! I think electric gypsy is one of the greatest rock guitar solos.
We want more god damn it
I thought I just sucked but now I am really just a sloppy rock and roll player. ROCK ON!
Yeah cool he mentioned mick
LA Guns self-titled is awesome
After iommi tracii is the reason I play!
That was pretty #$%@ing awesome.
If it sounds good, it's good. Don't matter if it's "sloppy" or not.
80's Randall Amps: cheap and dirty. One of the cheapest and well-built amps you can get used. They got the new Tube-amps (Ignater) for the tubers also. Randall solid-state used your are looking at $1 a Watt --> doesn't get much cheaper than that.
80's Randall: Cheap and Dirty, but never sleazy. A great starter amp.
This guy is a much better guitarist than his influences ever were
Except...he mentions Rhoads a couple times. Absolutely love Tracii, but wouldn't go THAT far.
No Mercy sounds similar to a southern rock or George Thorogood.
Did Tracii have a head injury?? What's with the bandage???
Traci guns is root guns n roses, beside stradlin n roses
wow look at that old apple laptop ddr2 memory behind his headstock of his neck id say 2005
i wanna learn to play sleezy like him.
Johnny thunder means. Tg gets it.. tone..etc..
Love Tracii...LA Guns eats guns n roses for breakfast!
This guy is the fuckun man
Who thinks this guy should return to Guns N' Roses? Well, it's just much of the classic lineup is getting back together and because Tracii is no longer with L.A. Guns since 2012 and he helped form and provide G N' R with its name (Axl was the one who coined the name, though, by combining his and Tracii's names), he could serve as third guitarist between Izzy Stradlin and Slash (who replaced Tracii originally), make it be sort of like the current line-up of Iron Maiden. Also, it would help Guns N' Roses now live up to their name.
+DW'89Music he is too good for GnR lol
tracii's tone, style and shit would'nt fit.
Rodney Rhodes
Even though he did help set the band on the path to and develop their signature sound just before he left and Slash replaced him, like what Dave Mustaine did for Metallica before he was kicked out and replaced by Kirk Hammett. I also thought his solo on L.A. Guns' signature song "The Ballad Of Jayne" reminded me of Slash's sound and style.
DW'89Music sounds interesting what they should've did was say there's gonna be a reunion but bring back tracii, Rob Gardner, but since Ole Biech is dead they could bring back Duff or keep Tony Stinson and say their the reunion and the people would probably get all mad and say this isn't gnr wonder how people know who the members of the original not the classic line up of gnr are
Farhan Mckinnons
I heard that Tracii Guns has recently rejoined Philip Lewis in the Philip Lewis-led version of L.A. Guns, which was one thing I thought he could have done. At least Tracii is a more approachable person than G N' R's leader Axl Rose, cause we know how Axl Rose is like as a person.
Incredibly underrated!
He is
In the great book of hard rock guitar, under the chapter sleaze rock guitar his name should come first. Do not forget he is the Guns in Guns n Roses and La Guns should be as famous as GNR. All these line up and label changes did harm the band's reputation.
"There's nothing sleazy about my guitar... alright lets play some riffs... so here's SEX ACTION", lmao.
Tracii calls it ‘playing sloppy’. I call it ‘playing loose’. It is an acquired taste and technique that isn’t as easy as one would think to make it sound good and not amateurish.
So when the sounds come lol
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!
3:09 "...which I think is absolutely absurd because there's nothing sleazy about my guitar."
4:43 "...loud, dirty and... and... sleazy."
Still in love with you, Tracii!
look at the Peavy practice amp....how many dudes owned one of those????....I know I DID!!!!!
He's Bill Paxton's brother from another mother
I'm still waiting for someone to make the comment "that's pretty good but you're playing it wrong, that's the wrong fingering. That's not the way it's played on (insert guitar tab website here)." Either that comment or "This guy sucks, I've been playing guitar for just over 24 hours and can play this song with just my pinky, and it's been amputated! Most people think I've been playing much longer, like I was a guitar player in another life before this one." Why? Because there's always at least one person per guitar instruction video that makes comments like these.
I spy with my little eye a peavey bandit
The ONLY great guitarists of the hair meta era are mick mars, slash, warren Dimartini,and Traci Guns.
Couldn't agree with your list more! Except I'd throw in Steve Steven's as well!
There were a LOT of great guitarists from that era.
play some stone trigger
How do you pronounce his name lol. (Trash-E Guns) or (Trak-E Guns
tray - c. dumb ass
+Rodney Rhodes man my bad don't have to use vulgar language
Treisi😂
Trishiq Gums (the ''q'' is silent)
Since when could Jimmy Page shred? Show me a solo played by him that puts him in the same league as Paul Gilbert or Yngwie Malmsteen, and then I'll believe that statement.
What's up with the pyramid/ one eye tattoo on his left chest ?
Lucefarian lover
Malaria, malaria, malaria, malaria, malaria.
THANK YOU! I love Zeppelin but Jimmy cant play worth of shit live.
I think Jimmy page was drunk alot
Jimmy Page, Is a sloppy guitar player! In a good way though! Who agrees with that?🎸
How can someone say that something is sloppy if it moves you? It’s MUSIC! People stop analyzing every riff. It’s MUSIC. JUST ENJOY IT!
