So cool to see Jake Kiszka is getting the attention he deserves!

[@brandonwooldridge1877]

A Look at Rory Gallagher's greatest techniques would be awesome. He really had a very unique approach to his phrasing. He would often mix celtic inspired licks and jazzier stuff into his blues rock playing. Really awesome stuff

[@z_855turboR]

Oh hell yeah, what a performer he was..

[@funkilus]

Couldn’t agree more !

Josh said it has something to do with the curvature of the earth 😜

This deadass made me crack up

[@lindseylundberg8273]

This is so true. He does it SO much. How does he not fall on his ass? It is one of my favorite things about his stage presence.

[@OnTheFritz602]

Those guys are a breath of fresh (classic) air, and a bunch of goofballs as well. Looks like they're always having a great time! Jake's playing is pretty damn impressive.

[@pugster8643]

Dude thank you so much, I’ve been scrounging the internet for anyone giving these boys a chance. That you so much, made my week

[@youloveme163]

Big fan of his guitar style! Excited to hear about these techniques!

[@MEGADETHLOBSTA007]

I will never understand why people doubt this band, every players brings something special to the mix, and Jake is definitely no exception. Great video!

[@LosTroopos]

I don't mind people playing Zeppelin inspired blues rock, what I do have an issue with is that it goes way beyond the music, but also clothing, imagery and the "hippie"-arts talk when they discuss their music: "There's plenty of love left in this world, even though it may not seem like it. That's what 'Heat Above' is about, rising to the stars together." It's like they're trying too hard to copy the "zeitgeist" of an era to sell a brand, rather than just playing their stuff and being authentic.

[@mediocreguitarist8276]

For me it’s the singer, I can’t get into his sound. But I don’t hate them

[@braedonmorrissey7548]

@@mediocreguitarist8276 I can see why people don't like his vocals but I love them personally

[@naispuma21]

Agreed… I also think Sam doesn’t get enough credit for what he offers on both bass and keys

[@Funketown03]

@@LosTrooposor they just actually believe in it. Some people believe that there’s peace and love in the world and they vocalize it in the way they think is right. Love these guys!!

[@peterbaker3878]

Jake Kiszka is friggin gettin some luv Sweet! Dude's an Amazing Guitar player! I dig how he helped bring back classic rock to new age. Thanks for covering this 👍

[@GoBlue4lyfe]

Very,very awesome breakdown of what Jake plays. I get sooo sick of people wanting to compare/say that he’s doing nothing but what Page plays He didn’t get guitarist of the yr. for nothing!!!!!!

[@magnusbragason7101]

Exellent , just love JK´s style and his feel is just magic to my ears.. I wish I could pull out of my guitar just some om those feel´s ... someday. Jakes way of playing both rythm and lead is just awesome.

[@shonparker9363]

That whole step transition between the pentatonics is a powerhouse move that is easy to execute. Nice.

[@shayh.3556]

Ikr, I totally forgot about switching between the 2

[@jacobhoover9223]

What do you mean

[@HannahCope88]

Love what I've heard from these guys so far, I've been meaning to check out the rest of their material ever since then. Will definitely be looking out to catch them playing live.

[@JLamstudio]

Love this band. My favorite rock band 🎸 Got their new album on vinyl! These guys can rock!

[@shanedingz]

I think he’s an excellent guitarist with interesting style. Great young rock band with a lot of potential

[@donaldegan7906]

I'm glad you used the SG, wouldn't have been as authentically Jake without it.

[@zman2205]

You can make Zeppelin jokes all you want, but there's no denying that they're an incredible rock band

Is that it?

[@Larry_Ibarra]

Slash, Joe Satriani, Marty Friedman, Dave Mustaine, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Dimebag Darrell, David Gilmour and Eddie Van Halen all already have an artist series video. Friedman and Mustaine are combined on a Megadeth video, while Hetfield and Hammett are combined on a Metallica video.

Awesome breakdown of Jake’s playing!

[@jamingaming3453]

Yes. I love their songs. One of My favorite modern rock bands

[@brianmckenzie1318]

Awesome! I'll have to try some of these techniques! As for the Led Zep & GVF thing, I think it is great these young kids pay homage with their similarity in sounds. It's just an influence, like WE ALL have! I mean, how many EVH clones did we have in the 80's! Kids today may not really know much about Led Zep, but if they are into GVF, they may go back and discover these mighty classic rock bands of our past and which I grew up on! It's all a win-win in my book. I'm glad someone is carrying the torch into the future. Keep rock alive!

[@friedrudibega6384]

I think this band will only get better. Really like these artist vids. I watch even if I’m not a fan of whoever’s being featured. Always learn a little something.

[@COwens]

Good work on this video. Makes me appreciate what Greta Van Fleet are doing. For any further artist videos, may I suggest: Geordie Walker (Killing Joke) Robert Smith (The Cure) John McGeough (Magazine/Siouxsie and the Banshees) Bones (Discharge/Broken Bones) Andy Gill (Gang of Four)

Thank you! Jake is phenomenal, as well as all the other band members. They truly continue to blow my mind with their music and to say seeing them live is an unforgettable experience is an understatement!! They make me so excited about the future of music💓

[@johnn.cooperiii6088]

Nice touch on the Jake -style jacket ( and Gibson SG ! ) by the way, beyond awesome lesson

Love their stuff, especially the newest album. Thanks for this video!

[@keararenehill]

That lick at 3:43 also sounds a lot like Hendrix’s Em pentatonic lick in Machine Gun!

And rockin' that tastefully chosen jacket - stylin'! Great collection of techniques.

[@z_855turboR]

Angus Young/Billy Gibbons shape..:) You are the best, Mike So much hate, but envy/hate arround GVF, but fortunately someone here and there, recognise their work. Did not catch alot of things mentioned here, thanks!

[@sudhindrakopalle7071]

I wish I could listen to someone play or a record and just play it back on my own guitar.. great video on a truly remarkable band!!

[@pugster8643]

That high percussive part in Age Of Machine is him playing a harmonic somewhere in the neighborhood of the seventh fret I think, not positive but that’s what sounds closest to me

[@aceclapton5655]

Really excellent job of breaking down the techniques in these Artist Series videos. The info is pure gold. The guitarist that i’d recommend for a future video would be Michael Schenker - listen to UFO’s Strangers in the Night live album. Priest (Tipton/Downing) and Maiden (Smith/Murray) would also be good candidates if you haven’t already covered them.

[@jtserwinski]

Felt the same way before and after listening to them. Love em!

[@carmensandiego7749]

I really enjoyed this even though I quit my guitar lessons after not much time. I'm sure that you explained very clearly to people who play. FYI, the band is Jake's dream that Josh and the guys are supporting him on. Josh wanted to act and make films, not sing. But they said that he was the natural choice to sing because he's been singing around the house his whole life. What a family.

[@the-northern-light]

Fantastic video thanks very much my friend!

[@jaydendrennan9567]

Jake has a great guitar tone. Gibson through a Marshall is hard not hate

[@annelarkins5249]

Jake is seriously good

[@ashton.harris]

Such great techniques. Looking forward to trying all of them. Thank you!

[@cranberrysack2139]

When you get the chance to do another artist series, I’d love to hear you do the greatest Techniques of Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead, I feel like Johnny Greenwood is one of the most unorthodox guitar players, his guitar playing is so influential and refreshing.

[@margix1172]

GVF only REAL rock band of nowadays ! let's hope other bands will follow playing REAL ROCK with great melodies harmonies and vocals like GVF do.

[@merabaidkaur9267]

Thank you so much for showing the thing he does in Age of Machine, I was almost certain there had to be something computer oriented going on with pedals or other gear they have that I have no understanding of...I just have never seen/heard that anywhere else and couldn't figure it out.

[@pbean2]

[@teduh3344]

Hey. Great to watch your artist series again.. it really help me a lot on guitar. Im thinking of can you include punk guitarist in your series.? Like billie joe, doyle wolfgang of misfit, or tom delonge. They have a lot of original technique.

[@teresathomley3703]

Thank you, Mike.

[@MikeDavid_Davideos]

The Radio-Friendly Led Zeppelin. When I first heard Greta Van Fleet, I thought they only ripped some Led Zeppelin tune (though this might have some pinch of truth) but now I believe they are more "clean". What I mean by clean is that the sound and lyrics doesn't sound like a drug user wrote their song(s). Because if we dig deeper in history of the 1970s music, most of the rocks songs, and even reggae, funk and ballads are songs about drugs, sex (though the casual sex thing, they were replaced by "love" or other poetic words to hide it unlike hip hop songs nowadays) - Anyway, great observation there. Please do check out also the band Dirty Honey with your kind indulgence. Thanks a lot

[@TheDirge69]

not entirely correct, many artists were not writing under the influence in any decade or genre. hmm what does 'sound like a drug user' sound like?

[@sisgaia]

When did you join Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?

[@Namesjames1000]

I don’t know if you’re a fan, but you should totally do an episode on Josh Homme. I think he’s one of the most interesting guitar players of the past 20 years

[@THEJUNTMAN]

Great video, what amp are you playing through? Sounds great.

Anybody knows where I could find some tuners looking exactly like the ones on this guitar? Like, bright yellow.

Hey there buddy. Could you do Mike McCready's guitar techniques too? Would be really cool

[@Bruno_Toi]

Which pickups are you using?

[@Krullmatic]

I guess it's only fitting they steal from Zep, since Zep stole a lot of songs lol. Edit! I like your Eric Johnson jacket, Mike!👍

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

Well I mean

[@j_freed]

Zepplin synthesized new and pretty innovative sounds out of so many influences… Greta van Fleet, unaware of those influences does a lot of Zeppelin Pastiche, and innovates maybe just a bit.

[@clarel3447]

Their latest album is very different

[@raydelrosario2366]

Their bass player also fills a lot of gaps...ala John Paul Jones

[@benkoch3596]

Why has he not done one on Mark Knopfler yet?

[@user-og8ix4es3c]

Jeff Buckley would be great when it comes to a greatest guitar techniques vid, most focus on that angelic voice of his and rightfully so, but he was quite a guitar player in his own right as well.

[@palominorocky]
