28 Stage Moves I'm Working On

[@K._petra]

The pick toss is EPIC

[@conorprendergast5035]

Can wait to wip these out during my jazz gig

[@brandon6097]

I felt the power radiating from the Hetfield Power Stance. You've really got that one down perfectly.

[@rodrigogomes2064]

Ye thats the one he practices the most i bet

[@nathanbiton9690]

no, the strap wasn't low enough

[@LardyMongusHunnter]

That’s probably the coolest

[@ethanvanatta1729]

That’s gotta be the first time I’ve seen someone go for a guitar flip and actually nail it.

[@KingpinCrazy]

You should watch Herman Li! The guy toss and flips guitars like it's second nature, lol.

[@zombe0]

S T R A P L O C K S

[@cobain_92]

I mean, the inhaler toss is actually pretty revolutionary

[@ritwikbanerjee8633]

James Hetfield's power stance looks so cool, especially with one of his snakebytes!

[@TheJabernet]

The Inhaler Toss!! LOVE IT!!!!

[@sweetnsourchick1761]

The "guitar flip" is always risky! You've got guts! Now it's time to work on the "duck walk". 🎸 🤘

[@enricolongo242]

use strap-locks)

[@gbirdo4718]

These are underrated aspects of playing! THANK YOU for promoting preforming AND playing. Things like this is why they call it a show!

[@ippotsk]

From a distance you look like the guy from Jimmy Eat World. I thought 0:14 was really him. Also here's some more suggestions: -Dave Grohl exaggerated strumming arm and body movements for music videos -Crabcore stance -Swinging head like a windmill -Crabcore stance while swinging head like a windmill (bonus points for long hair)

[@sloboz8787]

will try these in the office tomorrow.

[@shredder_horn37]

Loved the high kick; thats one of the things I always look forward to seeing when “Crazy on You” kicks in! (No pun intended, lol!).

[@prometheustv6558]

I do the one foot up pose all the time because I’m too lazy to put on my strap.

[@Scottocaster6668]

LMAO 😆😆😆 so I'm not the only one.😜

[@stevedoom844]

0:20 Ha I just found an original Asylum vinyl at a local record shop. Bruce is everywhere

[@ricardobenitez-robles1123]

I’ve never seen the sweeping legato before this video and I must say, it’s so satisfying to watch. 1:15

[@darkknightgamer123]

I love the pick toss. Definitely risky if you miss it but it looks badass. High risk, high reward.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I once tossed 5 picks before I caught one. 🤣🤣🤣

[@eridinthevirgin4191]

2004 tom delonge had some of the best stage moves I've ever seen. no joke

[@larryduke5236]

You never fail to entertain, thanks and keep it up!!!

[@louisjamin7195]

The Flying V ALWAYS looks cooler.

[@devsuhag7039]

The thumbs up after the guitar toss was so badass

[@ingramfry7179]

I didn't know Micheal McIntyre put so much effort into his stage presence.

[@licksnkicks1166]

I just dance to the best of my own drummer when I am on stage. When I was just little girl my mom put in tap, jazz, ballet etc. This has been put to very good use. I don’t even have to think about. My body just picks up on the rhythm. Practicing the Angus duck walk.

[@Scottocaster6668]

The 360 "spinderella" was icing on the cake, mad respect right there!!

[@KingpinCrazy]

Some would probably say the inhaler move is somewhat breathtaking. And for those about to drop.. I in-hail you.

[@J.Skull369]

The inhaler toss has got to be the big groupie grabber lol love it 🤘🎸

[@Kaleidoscopia]

Nailed em! Great try with the Nancy Wilson kick, haha! Hers is typically a scissor hop-kick

[@TimdogQ]

Hey Mike, nice moves! Smart idea moving to the strat for the “Guitar Flip” LOL

[@TheArtofGuitar]

It has strap locks, the others don't. ;)

[@TimdogQ]

@@TheArtofGuitar Oh Mike...I hereby command you to buy strap locks for all of your Gibsons haha

[@ExperienceEarth8]

Hey man, I just wanted to say I'm learning guitar from your website right now and I really appreciate how affordable and approachable you made the lessons. Also, this video was super entertaining and that's a badass backdrop! You're killin it! 👍

[@poltergeist.7]

Mannn the Pick Toss is damn epic, I really think it's the coolest one I just love it so much hahahaha \m/

[@illumo.3098]

that behind the back toss is great!

[@dayafteryesterday]

Bananas! That chapstick toss got me good and then the inhaler toss was a fatality 😂😭😂

[@Zerofluffsgiven]

My coworkers must think I'm nuts while I'm LOLing at this one. EPIC!

[@kristoferhill2827]

I think I've seen Butch Walker do am over the shoulder pick toss, but I could be wrong. Super cool move though!

[@jameshetfieldtm8887]

love the nancy wilson poses. I find her to be very inspiring.

[@gazzab70]

Inhaler toss ftw, inspirational stuff, thanks

[@jimmyfitzsimmons7170]

That was very fun to watch thanks x). I will definitely work the pick toss

[@steveelling9604]

Inhaler toss. Fantastic.

[@maceflores2272]

As a musician I give a lot of importance to the technique and the show we give, excellent 🔥

[@theodosios2615]

The Inhaler Toss had me in stitches LOL

[@grungeman2745]

I got to see the Melismatics at lollapalooza in like 2008. Great band!

[@Scottocaster6668]

"The Weeping Legato" omg, 🤣🤣🤣. This was good stuff, Now we have to keep the chords from going # when we jump or kick,

[@teresathomley3703]

The guitar flip- that's Yngwie's move, no? Very cool indeed.

[@ExtremelyOnlineGuy]

Due to being a hyperactive ass stoner I’ve got all the Hendrix stage moves down except when he’d lift the guitar far above his head while still fretting. Dudes palms must’ve been made of flubber or something

[@chrisbauman2562]

More movements brotha,they greatest people to watch look like they going ceazy up there. Try the evh tippy toe run or the frusciante head bang,thats a fun one i feel a lot of my soul coming out doing that. Anyways you roock man and this was wicked cool,a side of us we dont typically want to show

[@kristianthomsen8878]

SICK MOVES🤘I’m gonna be trying out some of them😎

[@chrispychreme02]

You gotta do another one of these for bass guitar and do the crab walk!

[@Beavernese9898]

Have not finished the video yet. Just finished. Great stuff lol.

[@kiku4715]

0:44 fr sounded like mundo by IV of Spades for a moment

[@enricolongo242]

thanks! i'll try this on stage! i'm a pianist.

[@philmstud2k]

Need duck walk (Chuck Berry), and basically any moves Johnny Ramone did. Insane, like a ballet dancer.

[@BlackguardMedia]

LOVE the behind the head from Hendrix… but no one did better than Chuck Berry

[@thtavrgwhteguy8808]

Nice sg man! That’s a pretty color

[@bzyboy3]

Dean ween does this thing where he's bent over in a sumo stance with the guitar hanging from the strap. Its sick

[@metalriffsfunthrash4129]

Bruh... where's ur CrabCore?!?! */w\METAL/w\* Also, the Windmill?

[@rodrigogomes2064]

Where is the hendrix crouch ? That one is awesome. Or Page lifting the guitar with his two hands

[@danielleiva9456]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣 definitely mi favs are the "deuce" And the "spinning circle"

[@DirkRadloff]

The guitar flip is often used by Yngwie

[@absolutmauser]

Haha the inhaler toss 😂

[@shadcovert1160]

The Deuce dance is easily one of the best ever. Edit: this was one of the many theatrical ideas created by not KISS themselves, but Shawn Delaney who was the boyfriend of KISS manager, Bill Aucoin.

[@noobdriver2639]

Vertical v shape pose is so cool

[@JONTHEWHEREHOG]

love how you switched to a different guitar solely for the guitar flip, didnt wanna dmage ur prized sg

[@Sanjeet_1810]

Horns could have been a little different, I mean like how Michael Paget from Bullet does. If you've ever seen him do that :P Loved how you covered so many stances and that to so perfectly ❤

[@afewsnakes]

I thought this was a late April fools recommendation. Wow my dude.

[@Meditech509]

That was awesome. Thanks for the laugh.

[@slidosam]

Damn. That does look like a good daily workout!

[@guitarhero2022]

This is gold.

[@MrMetalhorse]

This is the best lesson you can give. All the practice is worthless if you look lame on stage

[@NegativeCreepYT]

You missed smashing your guitar to the ground like Kurt Cobain.

[@FireRainFimficReadings]

Guitar flip/guitar tossing - new name: The Nut Cracker. Saw a guy do that once, hope he didn't have plans to be a dad. Seeing that made my own sandbags ache. D:

[@euginchristo4396]

Man,this was something else!

[@mikomikoP]

the high kick is my favorite move

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

Jeez the guitar flip is a helluva risk!

[@justinkennedy4768]

The half splits was also done by Johnny romone

[@leaveitorsinkit242]

1:04 Could've easily called this the Eddie.

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

Haha The only one I really did was the grimace of pain as you hit and/or bend a high note - as if it's so much harder than hitting a low note :)

[@dejaliloquy]

love these!

[@balintpetervari8450]

I love it😂. Do more please🤘🏻

[@rodrigogomes2064]

Kurt cobains move to destroy the stage and drum sets. Plz.

[@VonL]

Can you post the chap still toss in slo-mo, I gotta take notes.

[@DeathMetalThrasher]

After a fire solo the inhaler one is cool

[@fasteddie-texas9628]

Actually prefer pick toss!! Thanks for that

[@purplecleo]

Inhaler toss. I died.

[@Giantshredder]

What about the Dimebag, wrist flick- finger snap-point?!

[@EarthyLee]

You are funny 😂! Great performance !

[@OdaKa]

29. The side-leg rocker stance (Nick Jonas) 30. The tornado (Kevin Jonas)

[@szabolcsmezei4088]

Strats are great for flips.

[@RexNicolaus]

The leap should of been the EVH split leap.

[@jamesjoiner5766]

Nancy Wilson's Knee kick steppy thing she does at the transition between the intro and first chorus of crazy on you (EPIC concertkzbin.info/www/bejne/p4fGnWN_rJiZqZo @ about 2.30 of the live video here on YT) is IMO the best use of a guitar "Move " i have ever seen .It actually gives me chills reliably .Nancy somehow embodies ROCK GOD in this early performance and i would love to see others like this ..

[@dcfromthev]

LOVE THIS

[@Thebus1]

2:07 my anxiety

[@pargelenis8928]

Sadly you did not create the pick toss you can see an amazing guitarist named randy hansen play voodoo chile (slow) and around the half way mark he throws his pick while playing and its awesome.

[@muleblues71]

The Angus strip tease 😂😂

[@artforrockstars5264]

Very nice show.

[@vibhratchaubey]

I feel like Angus does all of them XD

[@tavicotavio]

ye i can definetly imagine a young angus young doing the inhaler one

[@LUV8TheGreat]

Hey what kind of amp/ pedal are you using in this video?

[@detetiveg.p.1687]

Well, that looked fun :)

[@1337million]

And I thought I had something going with tossing my pick and catching it like a coin toss lmao

[@diegodeleontanner7909]

What about zz top chicken dance I love that one

[@bertall1ca]

What about the Angus strut?

[@verumterrae3322]

Good wholesome fun.

[@alexacojo]

good story, I mean poses ...... I have a question if you don't mind, the Gibson SG, does it neck dive?

[@TheArtofGuitar]

It's relatively balanced, not as well as my red SG tho.

[@alexacojo]

@@TheArtofGuitar thank you for the reply
