FREE LESSON: Myles Kennedy - Alter Bridge: The Sound and The Story

[@matthewmedeiros5533]

I seriously believe mark and myles are the strongest guitar duo of all time

[@ambrooks5]

Matthew Medeiros Agreed!!

[@ericjames6827]

As in all the way committed serious or just kinda in the moment serious? Do you mean all-time like since the beginning of creation or like just a few hundred years or.......? I need more in a comment about guitarist duos

[@justinhiss6839]

synyster gates and zacky vengeance

[@Greendayboy01]

James and kirk as well as syn and zacky from a7x are up there as well.

[@mrjackbilbo]

Lol what a funny guy

[@ragzy02]

At the end when he plays the whole thing through: Now THAT is how a real musician plays music! He closes his eyes and it's only FEELING. Sometimes you can just "tell" when a guy is a true artist, and Myles certainly is one......

[@jasondelombarde4406]

Oh yes

[@tylerolsonfilms]

One reason why I prefer Myles style slightly to mark’s. Less showy but more emotional playing. Also love the Latin influence

[@ambrooks5]

Yeah he plays a lot with his eyes closed. Guy is so underrated

[@aprild9577]

It's even better watching him play it live. I feel Myles is underrated as a guitarist and Mark is underrated as a singer

[@shualatin]

Wonderful!

[@LUckybones25]

He's such a talented musician. No wonder everyone wants to work with him!

[@mrtiesthatbind]

Mark Tremonti and Slash are lucky

[@rocksolidimages70]

I can't play a note, I just watch because Myles is so awesome :-).

[@14Asura14]

Same here xD

[@vinayakchaturvedi8006]

+scarlett503 he's SIR Myles Kennedy xD

[@janteo1]

I never touched a guitar and i have no ideea what d b g means

[@florenciademinicis8087]

Same here haha *drools*

[@mrtiesthatbind]

​@@janteo1 those are guitar strings in standard tuning

[@piperdawn7]

My goodness, does Myles ever sleep? He's just such an amazing person! We are blessed that Myles Kennedy was able to share his gift with all of us.

[@kjuda5876]

I was lucky enough to meet Myles....what a humble man. Amazing

[@ledamorales5079]

I don’t even own a guitar but I love to hear and see Myles. He is stunning!

[@mrtiesthatbind]

I hope he inspires you to play guitar

[@bubbasmith5142]

Most have no idea how talented this man is !

[@fantastic908]

Myles is a great teacher though

[@lilybond5536]

Well he used to be a guitar instructor before he was in ab

[@ThePuertoricanBeastJonathan]

im new to alter bridge but its so cool that the band has two talented guitarist

[@liamevans9815]

I made a comment on a Mark Tremonti tutorial video the other day. Mark isn't a natural teacher so the tutorial wasn't as well constructed but Myles was actually a guitar tutor before he was approached for Alter Bridge which is why he can articulate things better. There wasn't anything really wrong with Mark's tutorial but you could tell he wasn't as well versed at giving them as is Myles.

[@Steel8Tesla]

Myles does know how to teach people very well, far better than many.

[@GreenIce101]

+Ronan Bywater-lees Well he teaches Jazz guitar (surprised me) so I'd hope he'd be a good teacher haha

[@irena7777777]

Better at teaching than many. Probably not Guthrie Govan, though

[@Cuzjudd]

THAT INTRO IS SO BEAST It would take my whole life to learn it

[@asim29]

Yep, I quit guitar. I'll never learn that. Edit: I actually learned it, never give up I guess :)

[@jackmarshall757]

lol.

[@charlesthebrick5251]

anger.misery congrats! Never give up

[@ambrooks5]

Just cuss at your guitar a lot. It helps! Lol

[@robynevans1287]

YESSS!!! WAY TO GO!!🤘😁

[@obsidiana07]

You know Myles has taught others to use the guitar before. He tells you everything, picking pattern, cords, and finger placement. I watched the one with DJ Ashba and he just played the song and didn't talk about any of that stuff. This was a good video and thanks for uploading it.

[@fellowship1236]

Alter bridge is one of my fav band love you Myles Kennedy

[@여니와다당제64]

Myles is amazing person, singer and guitar player

[@jellebiesemansghostrobo123]

How can you possibly dislike this!! this is an amazing song played by one of the best lead singer and guitar player!

[@GregK9]

+jelle biesemans - 4 douchebags!

[@jellebiesemansghostrobo123]

GregK9 indeed

[@MrOrb1979]

+GregK9 now 5 douchebags

[@MrJeezus]

The best rock singer in the world.

[@sicko115]

Alter Bridge was that one band that introduced me to the world of rock with the One Day Remains album. After like 9 years I found my copy of the album, now I hear it every morning when Im on my way to college.

[@pratikr3970]

Met my childhood hero Mark Tremonti after their show in Chicago! Most humble guitarist ever, fist bumped me and gave me his signed guitar pick, these guys sound clean yet punchy on stage and musicianship at highest level. They are the next Metallica in terms of the musical impact.

[@1morelight]

Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy are the best musicians to be a fan of. They're top-notch musicians and rock band and they're thoughtful about their fans, they share not charge, they teach instead of climbing the high pedestal of unreachable musas, and they are outstanding at all of that. They seem to really wnat their fans to learn their songs correctly and they do it seriously, not bragging, not hiding, straight to the point. I've watched A LOT of lessons from them. Thank you guys! you are much appreciated! I'm selling my guitar bc after many years I'm really bad, but this flamenco inspired piece is so awesome that I can't resist give it try. I've heard some many e-learning-tubers or whatever they're called say diminish triads are just dissonance structures to only create tension in our western minds... that was honey to my ears and it rocked my soul, no tension needed

[@thevenezuelanbeast]

Myles Kennedy, this legend is a blessing to watch perform live. He feels the music and carries you through that journey as he plays.. I just saw them in Raleigh and I love the band even more than ever since it was a dream coming true.

[@avgt619]

I wasn't quite expecting this, but Myles is a seriously good guitar teacher!

[@mrtiesthatbind]

He is a former guitar instructor, so it is not surprising

[@BEEPEE767]

Myles is easily the best singer in modern rock. Such a talented dude.

[@grabber_blu_angel]

Ironically, the hardest part of playing this whole song is not muting the A string with your pinky when transitioning from A minor to the first diminished triad.

[@StopPrism4251]

God i love Myles.

[@Karla-rd1or]

He is such a good teacher, that i could understand everything and english is not my native language! Besides i learned the names of the hand's fingers :)

[@mrtiesthatbind]

He is a former guitar instructor, so it is not surprising

[@darrell3682]

The video quality is nice and clean...

[@tilleisbaer3560]

I wished Myles would give some voice coaching, too :3

[@tiagogs98]

It took me 2 hours to learn, but I learned! Thanks!

[@thyop89]

Obviously this lesson is for someone who is more advanced but damn Myles is a fantastic tutor. If he had decided not to join Mark and co and had gone back to being a tutor, he would still have inspired a lot of musicians. I can't stress enough how much of a skill it is to have the patience and the humility to share knowledge and teach others what you know. It just reinforces what everyone who has met Myles says about him, the man is so humble and hasn't got a trace of ego about him, he just wants to make good music and to help everyone around him to succeed. When you have as much talent in both guitar and vocals as Myles Kennedy it would be easy to believe your own hype but the man just takes it in his stride and focuses on what matters. He's truly one of the greatest rock frontmen in history and He's still surprising people with new sides to his talent.

[@maulaisaalbadi2138]

Beautiful teacher

[@mikea.4477]

Myles you are the Pan! 🔥🔥🔥

[@TrevorDianaWilliams]

What a great teacher, and great song!!

[@timcotterill3952]

In m opinion, what elevates a great/excellent/amazing guitarist to a maestro, is the maestro, shares and teaches. Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Mike Dawes, Brian May, Keith Urban (I bet that threw some of you a curve), and all the others are maestros, precisely because the know the instrument, and what they are teaching so well, that they can make really complex music approachable. I can flat pick ok, I can finger pick pretty good, never could hybrid pick worth spit… but you know what? With this quality of music & teaching… I’m gonna learn this. It’s gonna take… Quite some time. Thanks Myles.

[@starlitblond]

So cool. Wow.. I'm glad I found this video. Love him and love playing guitar. This is gonna be fun!!

[@monicadelsole3757]

Encantada de que fueras mí maestro Myles, te amo!

[@ashutoshchakravarty2669]

he's incredible

[@citana2443]

He's just awesome

[@vinayakchaturvedi8006]

+Citana indeed

[@deborasantos1533]

UAU .... é muito dificil tocar esse solo de introdução ,mesmo ele explicando passo a passo , incrível !!!!! É o maior sem sombra de dúvidas , parabéns Myles !!!!

[@DRocks77]

Master class, thanks alot myles . Awesome kinda sums this up eh.

[@ilaygenezia7336]

I already know this one but I still watched the video cause Myles is awesome

[@Enriquezoficial]

It's so simple and magical...

[@Sparkythehedgehog11]

This is awesome I know it must be a lot of work to do these videos but it would be cool if they did these lessons for all their albums

[@inesSueli]

Nossa eu curto muito esse grande cantor Myles, e músico de qualidade os quais não existem mais não é pessoal. Beijos para todos vocês amigos 💋. Eu só Inês de São Paulo Brasil 🇧🇷🏹💋🍷, fã número 10.

[@lindamitchell6415]

....it's just a diminished thing....Mr Understated Cool xxx

[@cd66061]

What/who’s track is at the end when it is showcasing all the Fret 12 artist stuff, anyone know??

[@N7_Maric]

Just bought the DVD tutorial set based on the Cry classical intro. This is fucking fantastic.

[@mayf.4723]

I don't play. Just watching Myles!

[@RG049]

You're not alone

[@1krazycat1]

What a dude!!

[@Diego_Amorim]

I am really sad about them not making the sound and the story the last hero.

[@Kyush4]

What's that song at the end?

[@YoooEric]

"I Am Icarus" by Man The Mighty!

[@Kyush4]

thnak you man!

[@popocraft4677]

darude sandstorm

[@Diego_Amorim]

Want the last hero sound and the story.

[@jaritopolar2860]

Big, thank you from Finland

[@nikolauseder]

Miles Kennedy as an ACOUSTIK Mariacchi.....incredly Talent plus Superstar VoiceOver 👍

[@summermalik9931]

Yes a great teacher 💖💖💖

[@spatnaspolecnost]

I like how it's a bigger challenge for him to describe what he's doing rather than actually playing it :D I mean it's sort of necessary in a lesson video, but anyway I think if you can' already figure it out by ear you're not likely to play it just yet. But anyway you gotta start somewhere I guess :) I'm not quite there yet but working on it.

[@redbean7782]

After close review and inspection of the video, I can say that the video audio sync is slightly off but its so small that you'd barely notice it until you see that some notes don't sync up with the picking:\ but i love this video

[@moistsalt]

Is no one gonna talk about how there's no fret markers? Like wow I play bass and get confused sometimes WITH the markers lol

[@axlrosea675]

that hybrid hybrid picking technique...if you play acoustic, why not for real? i bet myles can fingerpick just as well.

[@jeffreywindisch5357]

My guess is the single note run at the end .... You can play most of the intro with just fingers ( it's how I do it) but that run at the end doesn't sound right without the pick

[@axlrosea675]

yeah, guess you're right. myles picks like this all the time though. must be easier for him like that.

think he does it to make the low notes pop up more, as they'd sound muffled in a band situation with another guitar, bass, drums, the attack on the pick helps a lot to make them more clear.

[@AerologyGuitars]

@ this^

[@behnamef7692]

amazing band

[@Diego_Amorim]

When'll be launched the sound and the story the last hero ?

[@uchiha1000]

the song at the end soo damn nice i wish there was a full version

[@Casey_J96]

Austin Johnson yeah but that's not a song from fortress... im intrigued. I wonder if they have a new track to support the tour coming up? thatd be awesome!

[@YoooEric]

CJSchecter96 It's actually "I Am Icarus" by Man The Mighty!

[@austinfj98]

My bad thought you meant full version of this lesson :)

[@Casey_J96]

YoooEric oh ok. i thought it sounded a little familiar but i havent really listened to them enough to recognize it. thats cool though.

[@TimothySonOfTimothy]

I wrote that song - its by my band Man The Mighty - its called I Am Icarus itunes.apple.com/us/album/i-am-icarus/id648566777

[@calummiddleyard]

I shall look out this song at the end, fuckin EPIC!!!

[@MaciejStrozniak]

SOOOOOO GREAT IDEA! Thanks!

[@Мр.Чыде]

a rare one by MK

[@FrostmourneFK]

*Video starts:* Alright Myles, let's do this! *Video ends:* wat

[@LucasCaetanoGuitar]

MASTER \m/

[@josephpretorius8607]

I can play everything except the beginning chord changes. Those chords are just ones I can't get to fast enough. Still trying to perfect it tho

[@cezarpj25]

Monster of rock!

[@MokkaMinno]

I'm despairing of that raking :( Every time I either mute the high E string or I also play the B string xD

[@Spitfire0110]

I can't even get the first part right :(

[@threeforty7]

Alexis Castillo You can! It's all about the pattern. Once you get that pattern down, you can play the whole track. It's one of those things that comes to you all the sudden like ah HA!! Don't give up :)

[@Spitfire0110]

thanks threeforty7

[@thedankswordsmantm]

Alexis Castillo It's been 5 months but here's my support as well. You got this bro! Start snail slow if you have to and just keep at it. Everything comes with time, if you put the time in.

[@Spitfire0110]

Tyler Moreau I appreciate it! Thanks!

[@MeMem02864]

+Tyler Moreau I agree completely. With practice come progress. There are pieces that I have to attempt repeatedly...until I almost reach the point of giving up...then I remind myself that I have progressed. I trudge onward adding a couple measures of new music until I reach the end. Honestly, I don't know how many people learn like I do, but this is my way. Dude, don't feel bad if you have to keep replaying a piece...when frustration hits just listen to how far you've come!!! Good Luck!!!

[@zackjericho7108]

OMFG!! Thanks!

[@ProjectRecon1]

This looks so fuckin hard lol

[@lewispeart2344]

because it is lol

[@saidoterodiseno]

It is. I'm trying to play it. It's hard to do it as fluent as Myles.

[@grabber_blu_angel]

I got it down pretty good. Definitely takes practice.

[@thomasabdala5779]

what's the name of the song that's played at the end of the video? sounds awesome

[@lennartvangensinnerud7923]

I’ve been practicing alot on the part where he goes from having his middle finger on the 3rd fret low E to the 2nd fret low E... Been struggling with my coordination in the change for several hours, but I’m getting there 😄 I do it differently though, first I have a firm grip on the neck, then when I change I put my thumb on the back of the neck... aaand I try to have my pinky not curling down, so it’s been kind of a bitch 😂

[@brendanmorris9561]

It says to download the tabs below, but I don't see them anywhere?

[@amok00]

how does anybody actually learn this damn maybe it's more intimidating than it is difficult

[@Sartrage]

Will take a lifetime to learn rofl

[@nelic182]

What's the song at the end

[@ventascostco8211]

somebody can help me with the tabs? can't find it :(

[@robo567]

I used this video to learn the song on piano... Hey, I'm weird like that.

[@rfrt1969]

+Robert Merriman I just finished learning this song on guitar and now you gave me a good idea..

[@Scandinavian88]

Then Ill be the first one to say; Thats seriously cool bro! :-)

[@popocraft4677]

Robert Merriman me 2

[@ferntheyoutuber9960]

Post that shit.

[@gerkor72]

You're such a peenist

[@Juwita_K_Sitorus]

Mantaaapppp myles.,

[@mrtiesthatbind]

Ada juga ya orang Indonesia yang memperhatikan Myles Kennedy. Pasti penggemar Alter Bridge

[@mitchchapman4660]

Why has he got tape covering the brand of the guitar on the headstock??

[@manuelcastillotaylorsversi2551]

This is a DVD, a "movie" they probably didn't want to pay the rights to show the brand, or the brand didn't want to be involved. Idk, really.

[@Alacrity.]

7:31

[@BasilicoIrish]

what a monster

[@barneychamorro]

Anyone know what acoustic guitar this is?

[@austinfj98]

Some sort of classical

[@LunaYNeko]

Yeah. No idea which one that is, but Yamaha makes some decent electro-nylon guitars (Rodrigo Y Gabriela use them, I think). Hope that helps?

[@christianharbour821]

Its a classical guitar... I have one. :). Finally some appreciation

[@Viskovitz]

LOL, a nylon guitar through a diezel Herbert..?

[@ericallen7112]

It's nice to have evolving finger-toes to make these chords.

[@dannyjdiaz6207]

Fucking awesome!... Guys help me, i need the ADDICTED TO PAIN´s TAB, i would love to play that song. Thanks a lot

[@arefjabr]

The way Myles plays this song makes it sound different from the studio recorded one. Are the tabs different?

[@wojteo1745]

In studio you have effects/mixing etc. It sounds exactly the same to me (I play for 5 years)

[@hunainjawed3070]

Anyone whts the song in the end...

[@misguidance__]

Holy fuck

[@distortedchannel1022]

Kevin Bacon is sick on guitar!

[@rambleon2011]

[@sushan169]

[@mrtiesthatbind]

He is a former guitar instructor
