[@Fitzliputzli23]

Everything he plays grooves like hell. In a studio session guys like him are worth solid gold.

[@umangatang]

This video stopped minutes ago and I can still hear the reverb

[@babinm]

Why isn’t this guy a household name who gets more credit for his amazing recording on the Gordon Goodwin big band version of the Jazz police

[@voskresene]

This dude is quickly becoming one of my favorite guitar players. I remember reading about him in my teenage years, but never really got to hear him then. Now with sites like youtube, I can check out his playing and man is he a good musician.

[@TubeFil]

this is one of the most valuable guitar lessons I have ever seen on YT

[@SandWraith123]

this is really great, especially for playing in a band and knowing where to fit in

[@bushibayushi]

Great great great approach! And this is the style of playing guitar that impresses me the most - rhythm+solo combined, sounds so pro

[@dempsey981]

when i first started really scanning for an influence online,i thought this was the man.more than anyone i personally saw teach here,this man seemed to have the most to offer.thank u sir.

[@topdog2328]

i saw his band when they came to play at our local guitar shop, it was awesome

[@angels77100]

I've always appreciated Carl's style & innovated approach. Thanks to youtube, you guys can now see & hear it as well. So stop complaining & just listen to the man.

[@musik102]

In the "shank" strum -across all 6 strings - how is that "one note" isolated?

[@JohnGuitarSolo]

Another cool one Guitar World Magazine ! Love these guitar world lessons John

[@IwillbeWaiting]

wow, i realy liked this guy...this rythm lines are just great!! looking forward to learn as much as i can from this. Excellent video!

[@bloodyleech]

[@richardwu0609]

carl is truly a good teacher!

[@nellgit]

this guy is so well versed ...what a player!

[@TubeFil]

one of the best players out there..

[@KingTabor]

this is a top class musician, thanks Carl!

[@minneapolis7967]

I tried this idea with my wah pedal it felt like the 1970's again; cool.

[@FeraceFilms]

Hey so anyone wanna explain those triads he is playing at the beginning to me? Thank you, I can’t seem to figure it out 🤭

[@PrashantAswani]

Brilliant recording insight.

[@dempsey981]

i screwed my post up on this guy.ive been playin and listening to good players for over 35 years.ive never heard anybody come even close to this guy live,or not live period.ive heard some great ones too,but this guy in alot of ways kind of simply takes the cake.i mean he's complex,yet melodic,interesting....what can ya say?i mean versatile,one gets the feeling that on the stuff that counts,he is simply a brilliant total player.its wonderful,yet slightly depressing that it gets this good.wow

[@dempsey981]

this guys got a good guitar head,and good hands,a pro

[@loveone4292]

Thank u so much for this

[@messybluesboy371]

Thanks Carl! I will practise this!!

[@reverendjetstream]

You're the best, Carl!

[@paryanpur]

this is wonderful

[@Jac7822]

@uutooyu this type of playing dates back to befor

[@fortuitousthings8606]

nice ive been doing this for years never new what it was called

[@SweetParadise68]

The challenge is coming up with parts like this... Much easier said then done.

[@johndoe-rp3hz]

Access your OWN Creative Reality!

[@TheDrumminMan08]

I'm pretty sure you use your thumb over the back of the neck to mute lower strings and then the fingers you aren't using to mute the higher strings.

[@JohnDoe-sz3lz]

This guy is tragically underrated wtf

[@chadbierman8058]

Awesome rhythm!

[@ruiseartalcorn]

This guy knows his stuff!

[@anamethat]

Very interesting lesson, although I wouldn't say that this necessarily applicable for all guitar styles, it is impressive nonetheless, and a pretty interesting outlook from the 'mix' perspective.

[@Mariofan7]

Wow, Carl is a rythym genius.

[@diankardiana8451]

thanks mr, its very cool !

[@lazloleif]

Not getting arranger credit? Sounds like tough nuts reality in the music business...also shows how valuable the guitar can be as a arranging tool too.

[@beleza175]

grooving like crazy!

[@MistahhB]

If you don't know who carl is, check him out. He is awesome!

[@johndoe-rp3hz]

Nice ... good chops!

[@AlessioSfasci]

Great musician

[@MrBADENWEILER]

Serge Tabachnikov - Vol. 3. my blues...

[@surendranade9141]

This Guitar is an elegant .i want this guitar to be my 1st guitar.

[@chrishorton615]

+Surendra Nade It's a Telecaster Thinline, it's a semi-hollowbody.

[@twangbarfly]

@louchemobile Never ever.... never ever ... never ever... oops, sorry about the delay - just can't manage to find the off button :-)

[@RicardCastro]

Bravo!

[@lralbrecht]

outrageous

[@EmilianoOrtiz]

the part about him creating a hook guitar part that ultimately becomes the horn section and doesn't get compensated for it hits hard ... but I guess that's what the definition of freelance / hired gun is. Life.

[@david2419]

This guy is really good. I would consider him to be up there with guthrie govan

[@funkyjones]

"Skank"....I love it.

[@nickknirk]

Cool video, never seen Carl play that tele or skank style.

[@thumperm37]

Wow !

[@Jac7822]

Before The RHCP!

[@sergiosilva6396]

Master!

[@twangbarfly]

@louchemobile Hey, you could probably make a lot of money giving tips to Carl Verheyen and others of that ilk about guitar playing - perhaps you can post some stuff up here for lesser mortals too - now that would be cool!

[@spoddie]

Wow a guitarist who considers his place in the rest of the band. That is so different to every genius bedroom guitarist dishing out advice on KZbin, but who has never even played with a band.

[@billville111]

Cool guy.

[@krisitantobias]

@LemonInYourEye best comment.. ^^

[@donottawaguitar]

nice

[@mrolgyik]

cool

[@DannyGuitar12]

Its a fender jaguar

[@concertoldham]

That is a sexy riff.

[@MagnumBullets47]

I WANT THAT TONE!!!!!! XD

[@CaptPostmod]

If I've got a Strat in my hands, I play "skank guitar." Didn't know it had a name until now!

[@robzbobz]

John Frusciante has this shit on LOCK!

[@TheMetallkylling]

@budbud619 congratulations! you must have completed some lifetime-achievements there, how do you feel? i mean, wow, you where FIRST!

[@rodiebobwilliams1330]

Sounds like Carl is hanging in high pass and low pass territory . Outstanding!

[@RunsInTheSkinnyJeans]

pollyrivvums:3

[@dougmattingly]

Carl, you have no idea how many one skanks I've met. j/k Steve Watson used to call that stuff "skank funk" back in the 80s. Nice.

[@Chris-em2qc]

It's basically just funk blues, which is cool. But not everyone knows how to do that

[@suihkubad]

You obviously have never played a fender american standard strato or heard SRV or Hendrix

[@calamunci]

@budbud619 Sweet! That'd be cool, if you didn't make me so jealous. Why can't I be as cool as you?

[@peterstrohm]

@spoddie This guy is just insane - and I also second your sentiments on all the utoob-gitar-heroes!1 that seem to never die out, giving advice to players like G. Govan, etc. It's laughable.

[@JeremyLam0]

arranger credit, but never geddit rhymes ;)

[@TheStrugglingShiba]

Define soul please.

[@kenboi169]

Give me some SKANK! :-)

[@SeeMick1]

Sounds Chili Pepperish

[@uutooyu]

that skank riff sounds very red hot chili pepperish.

[@Jay-lr3me]

uutooyu makes sense cause they’re pretty into their old school funk

[@kewlfonz]

@spoddie LOL!!!

[@fireball605]

whenn im playing FUCK rythm guitar

[@johncarcinogen]

only thing I didn't like was him saying the different instruments "compete" for the mid range. I think it's more about adding up to the whole as well as coexisting (harmonically I'd say, but fuck, what else is music about?) with each other.

[@DannyGuitar12]

Not really....

[@Martell276]

rofl skank geetar yeeee

[@Dreamdancer11]

A little secret for you...you CANT be a great lead guitar player without being a good rhythm guitar player first.But you can be a great rhythm player and a lousy lead one....and chicks love three cowboy-chord songs in the campfire....barely any kind of decent rhythm skills envolved so...........if you do it for the chicks you dont even need to know basic stuff.

[@johnstanley6977]

Nicking your part and changing the instrument. That’s a scummy move.

[@hotpoot]

Great video, great player. But good god does he reek of that cheesy, insincere LA attitude and mentality.

[@barneycatz5016]

great guitar instructor..but I think he plays like a robot, absolutely no soul..everything he does seems "worked out"..kind of a hotdog

[@justincraig5858]

I've noticed it tends to be that way with my people, white folk. It makes me sad. I wonder what is really going on at the root of the problem. Have they all lost their soul in modern times? Why do my people seem the most flat and boring? Food for thought.

[@Jay-lr3me]

Justin Craig if that’s the case it’s probably more that their heart isn’t in that kind of music.. not the colour of their skin

[@soeffingwhat]

Thats cos this is a "Practice and Instructional Vid", he's not meant to show off here. Thats why is "worked out".... for the Student Viewer.

[@MrzovoljnoOko]

wow!
