That glass ceiling point... You're making a great case here. That's exactly how it works. And not to forget: If you stop working actively on something, your brain will do its magic in the background. If you keep being committed, that's how you overcome barriers. Excellent!

[@TRAviation1]

You’re absolutely amazing man. I’ve been playing for about 4 years and I’ve learned a lot of Eddies live licks from you. I’m 15 now and I can shred pretty damn good, you’re a goddamn legend man, preciate it🤘🏻

[@mattdylan664]

that John Sykes lick is insane! thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge , always love seeing new content from you!

Cameron Charvel Cooper, excellent as always brother

Nice!! Another GREAT set of licks. Great advice at the end too. Your video work is always top-notch. Very enjoyable. Thank you.

Always a pleasure watching & learning from you !! Excellent time BTW !!

Fantastic videos on learning how to play fast/shred. Best out there! Thanks so much!!

You are super guitarist

[@nc1969]

Another great lesson. i really appreciate you focusing on these "nucleus" licks and sequences that underpin your playing style. Cam, can you bring a lesson, on your thought process when "chaining" riffs and sequences together to create long seamless runs? Thx!!

[@CameronCooper]

That would be so tricky to do but a good idea. Leave it with me

[@michaelbujanda8785]

Say WHAT !!!!!!????? 😮😮😮😮🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜😳😳😳😲😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 You're a Lefty!!!! You know Gary Moore was a lefty who learned how to play right-handed!!!! He ended up being a fast shredder type guitar player and he combined Blues flavored guitar licks and started playing with more hand vibrato and melody in his later years!!! Cameron, your video is very insightful!!!! I learned some things!!! Thanks for your videos ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊 P.S. Cameron!!! You're so awesome of a guitar player you could make a broom stick with strings or a ply wood guitar sound soooo good!!!! 😊 👍

[@CameronCooper]

Thank you very much for the comment! Fully enough, loads of players are left handed but play right handed. Eric Clapton, Billy Corgan, Mark Knopfler, Gus G, Nick Johnston, Freddie Mercury (doesn't really count but he was a left handed person that played right handed guitars). Duane Allman, Shawn Lane, Gary Moore. Quite interesting how many there are.

[@jmata4237]

​@@CameronCooper Rik Emmet is another lefty that plays righty

[@vince1229]

Michael Angelo Batio and Kiko Loureiro also left handers playing right.

[@frankieserranojr6788]

Ric Emmett triumph Steve Morse also were lefty

[@michaelbujanda8785]

@frankieserranojr6788 They are lefty guitar players too!!!! Well they are left handed that play right handed. I did not know that.🤔

[@brianrust6139]

Hey Cam, lick #4, is that a lick Gus G uses? Sure sounds similar to me. Either way I love it! Thanks I really, really really needed this friend

[@eddiejr540]

Cam…great stuff…you should do a “lick of the week”…I’m sure people would love it🤘

[@CameronCooper]

I don't disagree with you but I did that years ago the videos didn't do that well. Over 30+ episodes.

[@eddiejr540]

@@CameronCooper …sorry, I wasn’t aware…I can’t understand why, cuz these licks are pure gold 👍

[@stratrat57]

Never any George Lynch? To me his note selection and "odd" sounding intervals sounds exciting and fresh.

[@CameronCooper]

Because Lynch improvises everything and never plays the same thing twice it would seem, there aren't any staple licks he did that determined his style. Just epic improv which amounted to great solos. That's why I only tend to play the riffs in videos.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

This is really great! Thank you for posting this. Do you of any way to improve my Hammer Ons and Pull Offs? Is it the best way to start slowly?

[@CameronCooper]

I would say it's best to remain persistent, keep refining the technique and you will get there. Also keep muting in mind when working on this.

[@1dragon9447]

How would you practice a Kirk Hammett warm up/lick. Great stuff. Thank you

[@CameronCooper]

By playing it 👍🏻

[@jason4906]

what kind of guitar is this? love it

[@CameronCooper]

Charvel San Dimas

[@bear5141]

So if you're right-handed does that mean you should play a left-handed guitar because of the picking cuz sometimes I feel that if I was picking with my left hand and using the fretboard with my right hand it would be easier for me but instead I use the fret board with my left hand play scenes like it would be easier if I was using the fretboard with my right hand because it moves around a lot better and faster than my left hand does

[@danidcr]

I see you prefer 'Inside Picking'... It's amazing how you master this 😎... but a nightmare for me 😓.

[@CameronCooper]

Fun fact, I had no idea what 'inside picking' was until somebody told me I did it. I just did what felt natural to me.

[@cortneyholt]

How many guitars do you need 30? Just kidding I’m a charvelle fan! I have a San Dina’s in the weird pink color with white pickups, I love it!!! I also want 20 more charvelle

[@GeorgeLiavas]

Have you ever played an (air norton / d-sonic) pickup combo. How would JB / 59 compare?

[@CameronCooper]

Absolutely no idea

[@user-sf8mu4pl2j]

Why skip end of 1st lick beginning was explained note for note? Guess I'll just go learn some Zack wild solos, thanks 4 reference.

[@CameronCooper]

I didn't skip anything? I taught everything I organised for this video note for note.

I'm pretty sure I'm not playing it the way he did it. I just got inspired by his technique and wedged a similar run into 'Still Of The Night' to suit me whenever I play it.

isn't your action is too low?

​@@dieselyetiIf you actually play them for a living, then why should it be a problem for you ... somebody should get you a doctor to treat green eyed monster syndrome...

[@MajorDook1]

You high? There's no such thing as too many guitars.

[@CameronCooper]

Why does virtually every aspect of human behaviour have a 'syndrome' attached to it these days? I have more shirts than guitars. Most of them different colours and fits but I wear maybe 4 or 5 of them. I also have two suits, only wore each of them once. Does that mean I have some weird 'Clothing Acquisition Syndrome'? No. Because I wear different shirts or a suit as and when I need to. The same thing applies to my guitar collection. I play all of them and have them for specific reasons. Except guitars go up in value, my clothes certainly won't.
