3 Ty Tabor Licks From 2016

[@MT-or7lv]

massive, MASSIVE influence in my guitar playing! Tons of love for Ty!

[@shirleyallen7960]

Ty's playing is so melodic, definitely one of my favorite guitarists!

[@kravenhunter7823]

Dave, you are the Bob Ross of guitar instruction.

[@michaelwhite4592]

Ty Tabor is a phenomenal player!!

[@bingefeller]

Great lesson! Ty's Gretchen era Lab tone is the greatest solid state amp tone ever IMO.

[@themojoman]

I recently learned some King's X riffs like 'Lost in Germany' and 'It's Love' - so much fun to play this stuff!

[@MoCatt]

Summerland is probably my favorite.

[@SquidgyPickle]

Lost in Germany is a riff that I really struggled with for some reason. As soon as it "clicked" I was fine but yeah, great riff.

[@iceWaterProductions1]

Ty is no doubt in my top 5 favorite guitars ever, probably top 2

[@davejohnsonmusic]

Ty and Kings X are so underrated, but never under appreciated. Really cool guys to talk to. I gave Ty one of my demo songs way back in like 2004? Lol

[@voronOsphere]

I love when you do follow up videos like this. Keep the King's X coming! Thanks, David! Ebow! Awesome! Mine came with a great demo cassette!

[@LiveMusicCT]

I still love revisiting this one! 🤘😆🤘

[@MT-or7lv]

One of my favorite bands! Ty is a wonderful guitar player.

[@joethebar1]

Ty is the most underrated guitarist in rock. I consider him the true slow hand. Everything he does is toe curling. Great tone, songwriting and riffs.

[@MajorUpgrade]

Nice dude. I LOVE King's X. Love your videos!

[@foppsly]

Damn now I gotta go rewatch your chords video for kings x.

[@JimHabash]

Ty Tabor, my 2nd fave guitarist, a disciple of Phil Keaggy. When Phil pulls out his EBow during live shows, he always says " I found this thing out in the garden" lol.

[@edwincrain986]

You know I love me some King's X !

[@Indra22383]

Over the past few months I’ve really learned so many incredible things from this channel, keep up the good work man!

[@coreyclark6505]

Ty is such a sick guitar player. Super underrated.

[@colourtones]

Entertaining and informative lesson as always, Dave. Keep up the great work!

[@chrisdorio6750]

Very cool,, thanks for uploading.

[@ignacioinder]

good one brah! kings X blew me away when i was entering metal from grunge....lost in germany was ironically my soundtrack while living in berlin and studying kings x music. hope you can do a second part. Theres so much amazing phrasing from Ty everywhere.....also the chords from kings X.....and his singing plus phrases in his solo stuff......such a cooler tone that guy!

[@thejamnasium6447]

I was about to post on another one of your videos, "ya know what seems like a video that'd be up your alley, 3 Ty Tabor licks" - and then I searched through your videos and lo and behold, I'm about two years behind! His solo song Ride from the Alien Beans record is SO cool!

[@JimHabash]

I believe that 1st EBow riff from the video clip is from "A Box" great King's X song, check it out its from 1996's Ear Candy Track 4

[@jasonkeith9317]

I used to listen to King's X too. Great band saw them live once at a small venue near The University of Cincinnati campus called Bogart's.

[@bobbyshroyer440]

Was there. Was really surprised how small the crowd was. Especially at the time. They were getting radio play then with "Over my Head"...

[@jonswift4742]

You are the f’in best for doing this one! Thank you!

[@tallpaul1020]

Awesome guitar player period 🤘

[@davebrokeninlaymustainegib7549]

Thank you for this video

[@Scottocaster6668]

Very cool Ki]\[gS X inlay on the thumbnail pic of Ty's guitar. Thanks for demonstrating the Ebow. Would love to hold a vibrato note till it feedback and sustained it forever to drive my neighbors crazy! Awesome little toy👍 as well as the lesson DB🐓

[@wallyramirez5527]

You’re a great guitar player man!

[@tyronegalang5987]

No one sounds like Ty Tabor and no one sounds like King's X

[@adriankoski2876]

Love Kings X such a killer 3 piece band ......Can you share some riffs from Peter Klett of Candlebox? He has some great licks .

[@StealthParrot]

Thanks for explaining the EBow, I've heard about it but didn't really know what it was. Great video, as always!

[@dennydabbs9272]

Love it. Go from Steely Dan to King's X

[@voronOsphere]

Follow up to King's X hopefully followed by a follow up to yesterday's Steely Dan video! Fantastic KZbin channel!

[@davedecker1725]

Back in 92 he used an e bow to play O come all ye faithful. IT WAS JULY!😆

[@back4onemore]

Kings X were/are so underrated,cool lesson and how about another overlooked guitarist? The late,great Dave Prichard Of Armoured Saint would be great to see,thanks!!

[@stringbender11672]

Brilliant 🤘🎸😎

[@bryandraughn9830]

The ebow is killer. Loud and lots of harmonics.

[@jonathankohns7848]

The ebow does need the magnetics of the pick up for the string to vibrate. The benefit is you can control volume by sliding closer and further away from the pick up. This works particular well in a double coil neck pickup in the rhythm position.

[@ClassicGuitarRockJFL]

King’s X was gone way too soon. They had some great tunes. Thanks for another great lesson! I have an Ebow... and it’s great for experimenting.

[@jnh73]

They're not gone, they're still touring and still absolutely crush it. Check 'em out!

[@ClassicGuitarRockJFL]

Jack Narcotta I will!

[@GMHG777]

New album soon coming as well first in many years !

[@dell982]

TYs the best thanks David my fav lp is Naomi s Solar Pumpkin, if ever get a chance to do a vid on that one

[@pedroleal7118]

I know it's an old video, but, two things. First, it was designed (and works better) with Hambucker style PUs (double bobine). Second one, with practice, you'll manage to reduce the time for the note to come in, by hammering it with your left hand! Have a great time! Oh, it's also great for Harpegios!

[@funfreq9282]

One other thing that you didn't or forget to mention, when using an ebow to practice in that fashion it forces you to use your pinky! I have seen so many guitar players that are really good players!, they don't use their dam pinky. Great content man!

[@captainfruitbatify]

Your E-bow came with a demo CD? Mine came with a demo cassette - I guess it must be quite old by now..... Still going strong!

[@davidpails901]

Another fabulous lesson, thank you David. Is there anything you can't play!! As said before, I would love some Gary Moore Back on the Streets - Hurricane/Colosseum 2/Cozy Powell - Killer lessons. Keep up the great work. Peace, love and rock.

[@c.g.vonhagenstein7576]

Really appreciate this one. Some of my favorite playing of Ty's was in Flies and Blue Skies from the Dogman album (how many colors did *you* collect hmm?). I don't have an EBow but I *do* have a Sustaniac that has 3 different settings for the feedback of harmonics, and I can get a quite similar effect with that sometimes - tricky because unlike the EBow it affects all the strings at once so you have to work harder to keep it under control. The problem I notice with people doing Sustaniac demos is they seem to crank it to the max and you get a bunch of shrill squealy sounds that aren't very appealing (to me at least). It works much better if you dial it down a lot such that it swells into the harmonics in a way that that mimics natural feedback at high volumes. I also only ever see the Sustaniac demoed with really high gain tones and it can sound fantastic with lower gain. I also have a Digitech FreqOut which is a decent alternative for anyone that doesn't want to change out a pickup in their guitar. It has some flaws (sustained notes suddenly cutting out when you don't expect it) but used within its limits it too can be lot of fun. The EBow still has its place among these as it's still its own animal but I lack one of those. Sorry for rambling. Thanks for this one. Was highly anticipating it and it did not disappoint!

[@JimHabash]

C.G. Awesome song, I love the 1st lead lick he plays between verse 1 and verse 2 on that song! And the solo is soo good, well designed. What great lyrics too, no kidding flies and blue skies. Both sides of the coin found here on earth, just and the unjust all walk side by side, so true, there's life + death,and the difference between either one is one single breath! Also, the fact that there is wrong there is right makes the listener, at least me who constantly wonder why there is so much pain on earth, realize that while you hope there is a god or justice, that here on earth its ALL here, w/ no reason or rhyme. One hopes for love, justness, order, something good, but your kid can die, a whole country indeed, even the earth could become subjugated to evil, you could get Lyme disease out of the blue or you could end up being rich as F'k and still end up dying a miserable death. You could see the birth of a child that was in her mommy for 9 months and say, I cant believe we created that. And that little baby ends up being a special needs teacher, saving the world. Its all here, everything imaginable and unimaginable. My friend who died and came back says this side isn't reality, the other side IS REALITY, this side is the dream. He is a medical miracle, had a 99.5% of being a vegetable at best. Dead 42 minutes in the cath lab, and 30 minutes at home from factor 5 clotting. He said once youve been dead, its hard to take things seriously here anymore.

[@andymellor9056]

Ramble on. Great info.

[@MarkBreton]

Anyone who wants to learn how to use an ebow needs to listen to Phil Keaggy's The Master and the Musician. It's a master class.

[@edwincrain986]

Didn't the member's of King's X use to be in Phil's band?

[@colourtones]

Edwin Crain Dug and Jerry were. I hosted a show with Phil a few weeks back and we talked about that period.

[@edwincrain986]

@@colourtones That's awesome colourtones!

[@edwincrain986]

@@colourtones So that's on your KZbin channel?

[@colourtones]

Edwin not sure I understand the question. I am a professional musician, educator, and concert promoter. My company, Atmospheric, brought Phil to the Jazz Lab in Edmond, OK, Feb 14, (Valentine’s Day).

[@derekmiller1240]

Thanks David! Any chance you’d be able to do a video on Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom?? 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻

[@voronOsphere]

That would be great!!!!

[@MachineHeadDissent]

Dogman!!!...🤙😎🤘🤘🤘

[@JimHabash]

To help me deal with me...

[@iceWaterProductions1]

Damn you get a killer tone. Have you ever made a video of your rig?

[@psmith7781]

That Ebow part is from the song "A Box" from the Ear Candy Album, yes?

[@atticusfinch4687]

Phil Keaggy used an Ebow too

[@andreaferretti5727]

What's your gear here? Sounds great!

[@rocktopher101]

music music I hear music

[@helpyouinfluence]

David- is the riff from “Believe” tabbed anywhere in the known world of guitar?

[@acheleg]

considering most people have never heard of kings x, who are the 7 people thumbing down every video?

[@jesqueleto]

How about some chord play of spastic ink

[@abassplayer4life]

In case you didn't know, Phil Keaggy has been using the eBow since the late 70s. Here's a great video of his technique. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHq6fqWBa5ySmM0

[@bobbyshroyer440]

Phil has used the Ebow way before late 70's. He was using it in Glass Harp. He's the go to Master for the ebow! Yeah, the Amazing Grace clip is great. Using his Jam Man looper to add harmonies.

[@ThrashRebel]

Thank you! You finally did it! You actually do pay attention to subscriber requests. I know it is difficult to find footage of Ty online. (It is also difficult to find footage of Mike Wead online). Some other guitarists who use eBow that I like are Rod Dean (Japan) & David Sylvian. By the way, here are some links to some Mike Wead stuff, if you are interested in breaking down some of his stuff (Wead is neo-classical, like Malmsteen, but Wead isn;t all about speed like Malmsteeen is): Mike Wead kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJO1moCqpLlre6c Mike is the long-haired gutiarist on the left side of the stage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5TYoHp4n51qrq8

[@JimHabash]

Phil Keaggy used EBow in the 70s, I saw him in summer 73 just before 3rd grade w/ my crazy christian babysitter who was so hot.

[@billwilliams6338]

LATE NIGHT, i'm confused I'm guess Ty Tabor only uses the Pentatonic scale and Ionian mode? I thought he was more a complex guitarist using different modes and scales. Or how does Ty Tabor uses different modes?

[@keithcourneyea1609]

How about some Wolf Hoffman.

[@voronOsphere]

He recently did a great Wolf Hoffman video!

[@LateNightLessons]

Here you go Keith ---> : ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqqrhKekgq-BhJY

[@xisotopex]

with that velvet bag its akin to 'personal massager' for guitar... a guitars dirty little secret...

[@MoCatt]

I used to date a girl who used an e-bow, only it was shaped different.

[@Rigg15]

Was it for internal voicings?

[@MoCatt]

@@Rigg15 so to speak...

[@JohnTurner61]

great video - I learned about the E-bow from Robert Fripp (fun fact, although I always thought he used one for his part on 'Heroes', apparently he didn't) - check out his albums with Brian Eno and Andy Summers - fantastic stuff I've always been a huge King's X fan as well - in case anyone isn't aware, they're currently touring - I've seen them several times over the last few years - well worth the effort to catch them if you can finally, some of you may enjoy a video I posted last weekend - playing along with one of my favorite King's X songs, 'Summerland', from their 2nd release, "Gretchen Goes to Nebraska" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHrOdIWfmNOLhac

[@bradliosmusicfun1182]

Dogman!!!!

[@JimHabash]

Could be the heaviest riff of that decade Dogman

[@sourcescience]

You talk WAY too much. Just play the damn music.

[@ericwilson8848]

Ok I'm done.too much talking

[@darthslater6077]

You have talent and I watch many of your posts but damn, you talk way to much before getting to it!!

[@DacusSongs24]

The new album is not very good, imo. They abandoned their faith on dogman, and now they just sound tired to me.

[@davidkoblentz]

contact me on facebook.. I can send you the best ebow solo he ever did, imo... I own the "summerland" guitar, the custom hamer shown in the video (he actually only used it in the studio for FHL), so I am a ty freak.. man, great video, sorry I was so late to this vid game! to me he was emulating his early sitar type stuff from the early albums but using the ebow to do it... man, this has to be one of the best vids I have seen breaking down ty.. and the EJ connection.. damn... I hear it all, thanks.
