"Big" Dan Jacobs-Crazy Gnarly Tapping Madness

[@LWDIII]

I love that he's not just a great guitarist, but he's so good at explaining what's going on and how to use these methods.

[@PowerSourceTheBand]

isn't the crazy gnarly tapping madness part... 2:35 - 2:39... the tapping part for ex's and oh's? or am i hearing stuff.

[@gh0stmartini]

Yes !

[@XYouEclipsedByMeX]

its from the song deanne the arsonist

[@travishughes7221]

You were the only one that knew

[@666nothingleft]

2:35 is his solo from Ex's And Oh's

[@metalradio9]

hes playing in drop c, thats where hes getting the distinct sound.

[@siskabobs]

I wish Dan didn't switch the the V shape..That's one of the coolest explorers I've ever seen, and I'm not a huge fan of the new EX shape, but that thing is just awesome with the blood on it.

[@chrismcdaniel475]

This video deserves gold but I kinda want to keep thede techniques a secret to myself.

[@djgirl199]

Damn, I love Him. Crazy gnarly Tapping MaddNess.

[@torquemenistan]

ok whenever i visit the site....i only see the 600V....how come i dnt see one anywhere?!

[@sixstringsilence]

A john mcarthy dvd came with my first guitar. It was a Washburn Lyon and he taught me the basics lol

[@TOY0TAPREVIA]

yes it is

[@TheMal5]

@ThorvaldFan999 yeah

[@XYouEclipsedByMeX]

sorry about the language, it was my brother. (shared comp) but yea i agree with him but i can see ur point.

[@MucClips89]

dude thats freaking awesome!! all i need is a guitar now to start learning =/

[@becomesadream]

yea i noticed that also but im questioning the second one tho i think it might be two become one but watever :)

[@sixstrinngmunky]

He uses a Marshall JCM 800

[@dean0o0o]

@BloodReverence yes sir they do im glad someone said it

[@kenpachifan17]

Not meaning to cause another issue but syn didnt even play his own leads he only played what the rev (r.i.p) showed him in the nightmare album the rev already wrote and showed syn the leads and rythms thank u

[@2usename]

Nice.Thanks!

[@GlockenspielSAS]

Or Brandon Jacobs from Mutiny Within. His tapping arpeggios are phenomenal.

[@sixstrinngmunky]

thats deffinatly Ex's and Oh's, one hell of a song

[@gh0stmartini]

Yeah !

[@Atrieyu]

NICE this video helped me ALOT!

[@YoureMyNextAddiction]

what was the name of the song that he showed us in the second tapping bit? I completely forgot it:L

[@gh0stmartini]

Exes and Ohs

[@YoureMyNextAddiction]

@@gh0stmartini thanks mate

[@ANTHONYFERNANDO]

You clearly have no idea what I was talking about, follow the conversation please. Dan Jacobs is my favourite guitarist in the world, not the best but still my favourite for personal reasons. That comment had nothing to do with him. And I do have videos btw, go check em out! :)

[@joey1364]

@therockhouse yeah like me

[@motorbreath94]

@Cra5hnatural Yeah there maybe be better people then him but he had his chance and he does what he loves for a living and he dosnt sucks at just listen to songs like bleeding mascara and stuff some nice sweep picking taping and over all hes got a solid soloing style, to me it sounds very van halen influenced but you gota give him props dude hes got that taping shit down and you cant say somone cant deserve what they have worked for the past 10 years

[@blahblahoww123]

lol, he does!

[@tristan2]

@XxiSynysterxX the guy from necrophagist

[@Jaybo196]

woo

[@garydynasty1]

@halofreak99099 swag butters

[@Gutishine]

Check out my Atreyu - Right Side Of The Bed Solo! ATREYU!!!! xD

[@RicardoDiazHimself]

@682382 thats what people say when their favorite guitar player sucks...

[@Blazinnn89]

@Cra5hnatural i know i could probably find tons of guitarists that are better than him, but for his music style and genre he is one of the top , and you probably haven't ever really listened to many of his songs to begin with and just judging him off a few.

[@olaf200w]

its ok

[@therockhousemethod]

chris broderick is basically in a cover band

[@therockhousemethod]

Some people need Finger tapping 101.

[@DanielJTeichroew]

@xxxDrummerBoyfoREVer Deanne The Arsonist Solo

[@ronnoc357]

how is treeman related to this vid???

[@Overture2152]

I think Dan could learn a few things from: Syu and Michael Romeo.

[@joey1364]

he us totally right in the beginning where people bang at the strings at it sounds like shit

[@mrkickass956]

@richd1913 Watcha taking bout Willis synister gates solos are good but a7x solos are played by 2 guitarist at the same time like if you have you and a buddy the solos aren't that hard to pull off but atreyu solos are played by only one person Dan Jacobs or if he feels jenorus hell let the other Guy play it but really a7x=2 people atreyu=1person so have you tryed playing atreyu solos by yourself their a pain in the ass Anyways "The more you know"

[@Atrieyu]

why?

[@NukeTheCrossXPT700]

Watch Chris Brodericks two hand tap sweeping.

[@The7thStr1ng]

wow this must be where Van Halen learned to tap!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Rage_Complex]

hes playing lip gloss and black haha

[@kenpachifan17]

shows how much you two know he wrote almost all the music for a7f

[@lufc550]

Treeman is related to all

[@blamealexis]

little john travolta?

[@yroslav]

LOL thats what i wrote on the last vid

[@starvinmarvin72]

@XxiSynysterxX Neither

[@snapascrew]

lol dan hit the wrong note!

[@Lodocia]

he is only playing atreyu taps and then hot for teacher lick

[@gringochucha]

This video should not be called Crazy Gnarly Tapping Madness.

[@Blazinnn89]

well im pretty sure this video was made for beginners at tapping and these are good simple tapping riffs. Ya this guy may not be the greatest guitarist alive but hes pretty good and probably better than you.

[@Atrieyu]

oh, i dont think he sucks

[@SkillerGuyVids]

amg lipgloss and black

[@SODTAOE]

He is amazing at guitar but I think Syn gates from A7X is way better

[@ANTHONYFERNANDO]

He wrote none of the solos. Fact

[@natenowicki1426]

What do you mean?

[@Overture2152]

@BloodReverence and A7X's leads are cake compared to: Syu, Michael Romeo, Chris Broderick, Andy james, and basically any good guitarist in metal.

[@XYouEclipsedByMeX]

lol

[@GrunesMannchen]

@mopkij lies

[@DCPinkey]

and exes and ohs

[@willtron3000]

it's because he doesn't have his headband on, once the band is on he shreds, without it, hes not as good

[@FingerBrokenBranches]

the inlays dont match the finish on the guitar.

[@RussianCivilian]

Mustaine invented Kirk's style, kirk still uses all the techniques that Mustaine used in the first album. Metallica just can't find anyone else to fill the void so THATS why Kirk is still in that band.

[@StrongerThanHell]

almost he is only 5 feet tall so draw ur own conclusion lol

[@bradcanon]

If you can do better in front of the whole world, then by all means. Post a few videos.

[@starzscream614]

GNARLY DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE pfffttt americans

[@AdultsAreTalking]

Literally nobody said that, twat lol

[@skypodx]

who do you compare Dan with, when you say that he is "one of the greatest guitar players" ? compared to steve vai, john petrucci, michael romeo, michael angelo .. the list goes on.. Daniel jakob is a big joke :-P

[@tmorelli1982]

I do credit him with bringing back the '80s metal guitar in the 2000s though

[@ciaran624]

no shit this is madbasic shit

[@THEAMAZINGTJ]

I bet he makes wayyyyyyyy more money than you

[@zipchtkdn7804]

Are you guys rip people off for years with the videos you can't even see finger placement the tone sucks

[@hazeymedia401]

Very basic and bad tone :\ I expected more from him

[@nblax41]

daves playing is worse than kirks
