I originally learned to play the "Satellite" riff with that box shape, but after listening to the original recording and hearing the various string noises at certain points, I shifted to playing it as a moving series of power chord shapes. It's a different kind of challenge--all that movement increases the risk of a missed or bad note--but I think it sounds more accurate to the recording.

Another classic exercise that became a legendary riff is Sweet Child O' Mine. I remember first hearing Thunderstruck and thinking that it was pretty crazy sounding, then I thought nah, he's probably just doing hammer ons and pull offs most of the time and this is how I figured out how to play it. Then I saw the music video showing him clearly picking along to it... dang nabbit, time to learn it again. Also, I never did get it good with picking it like that as I was always more a fingerstyle picker over using a pick. People say it's harder, but I just cannot seem to get the hang of figuring out where the strings are when holding a pick.
@misteramerica361020 күн бұрын
You can learn all the theory in the world, and while it is tremendously helpful, in understanding further, somehow going against the grain of what is expected in theory, you find yourself musically and stumble upon great transitions. Blues seems to be the easiest understandable breakthrough to introduce this. If you play while playing and find something pleasant to your ear, odds are it sounds great to others also.

Great video. Some really cool stuff. If it's okay I'd like to add one more to the list that is more than 40 years old but still can be heard all the time. When I was a kid, my guitar teacher was the one and only Randy Rhoads. I went every Friday to take a lesson at Musonia, the music store owned by Randy's mom. The first day I was there, Randy gave me a finger warm up exercise that I had to do whenever I practiced as a warm up. It was a short riff than later went on to become the opening of Crazy train...note for note. I remember driving one day and the song came on the radio. I hadn't spoken to Randy since he left to go do the Blizzard thing. But I heard that warm up coming out of my speakers and I could not believe what I was hearing. To this day it still blows my mind.Thanks!

My neighbors might not come over in their sleepwear to give me a beating if you can solve the volume spike problem that I experienced at 4 am (poor sleep habits), when you switched from your own playing to the Dust In The Wind rendition by its author; that kind of spike makes me turn down in a panic enough to where I can't understand a thing you say after the clip is over because now it's way too quiet, and I have to weigh the risk of blasting my neighbors again if there's another unexpected volume spike, against the fact that I need more volume to hear you clearly. I love your production overall, as well as the top notch content, and I respect your superior expertise, because I have no clue how you do your cool effects and transitions, so don't take this as disrespect. I only thought since I enjoy your work, you might want to know that if you can get the volume more steady, I would be more inclined to watch all the way through, depending on the time I watch it. The likely result of turning it off and thinking I'll save it for the daytime, is that I'll forget and miss the experience, and you'll get one less view of the video. Obviously that's no big deal, except if you lose a view from me, you might be losing views from others too.

Finally you show the private stock PRS again. I see it hung up in the background on some videos, but I don't recall you using it since your solo video. Such a gorgeous instrument. I immediately knew it must be Edge of Desire once you mentioned that type of riff inspiring John Mayer. Didn't know it started as an exercise, but that could be why the way John plays it is harder than it needs to be. Not much of an exercise if you aren't pushing yourself in some way. That said, the way you play it and he plays it does sound quite different to my ear, but I'd have to break it down to figure out why. Is it purely different string timbre or is there more to it?
