How to play 《I'm Alright》by Neil Zaza

[@ericfan463]

This song is a beautiful melodic challenge to play. That's putting it mildly. To actually know the amount of work he has dedicated to bring himself to this level would be astounding. He has spent his 10,000 hrs to infinity and beyond. 13:35 is ridiculous. I hear an amalgamation of Eric Johnson, Eddie Van Halen folded in with Mr. Zaza's ear for music. Wonderful !

[@1234567goblin]

I decided to start learning this song !!! Neil you are beautiful.

[@winner2me]

One of my all-time 'instrumental' sounds. Thanks Niel, you're a Master Class!

[@OfficialHorvli]

And I was about to comment "This is the best cover out there.." when I realized it's actually Neil..

[@mag8mag8]

Congrats to whoever recorded and edited the video, very cool!

[@RockFPV]

I hear Eric Johnson with a beautful blend modern melodic phrasing. I love your music. Cheers!

[@creatorjan]

Rock FPV agreed! Im hearing Cliffs of Dover over hear.

[@59g9]

maaan, what a lovely guitar tone! Crisp, clear and juicy!

[@adidarmsvideos9822]

Damn! you knew how to make a good tone to be a great songs.. you are really an idol

[@DentonEXE]

I'm in love with your tone, i have those pickups in my carvin dc127, now i've come to the realidation that i NEED a ht5

[@Yngwiejmalmsteen08]

I love this song so much I've decided to learn to play it :) wish me luck

[@vilhounuokiso3159]

All the best👍🏻

[@maxwellhawk]

[@axleblaze123]

[@kedorino5244]

Wish you a very good luck bro all the best

He is not human. just God of guitar.

[@MegaDespotic]

i love his tone

[@garysnowdon1918]

What an amazing song, he is quite a dark horse Neil. He real adds that extra tone by making your ear readjust so the melody sounds fresh. He does that by the toggle switch.

[@pud354]

I noticed all that pickup toggle switching (And you could actually audibly hear it in the mix), he must have switched positions at least thirty or forty times!

[@이준희-z4h]

where this backing track? i love lt..

[@winner2me]

Again a great lesson, Niel.

[@poljakov13]

damn , how juicy this guitar sounds :)

[@박준하-m8t]

Wow..unbelievable

[@stephaneguitare8313]

thank you very good song .now i have to practice a lot

[@thoughtfuI]

What an amazing person is Neil Zaza, thank you! Thank you guys from #GuitarCubeChina!

[@adamhunter7014]

Someone turned on 2x speed during the arpeggio section

[@jakerainicorn]

wow amazing tutorial....

[@Topan_Conspiracy]

13:35 the hardest part

[@thrumenmarak6938]

Yes it is so tough, that's why most of the people don't play this part and written "cover"!!😄😄😄,..,but now I can play it totally smooth!!!!

[@MustangDesudiroz]

@@thrumenmarak6938 the original record doesn't have any crazy sweeps and runs though

[@thrumenmarak6938]

[@aleksandar4411]

[@edchiou3927]

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

[@joebandung9060]

Unique Tone Caracter bro..

[@kedorino5244]

Amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@danteprimm]

Why is that guys like Neil Zaza and Guthrie Govan have to play overseas to get any acknowledgment. I would really like to see more of them here in the states.

[@toyvng]

In fact Guthrie is British. But your point stands perfectly imo

[@mohitrahaman]

@@toyvng your name is amazing

[@toyvng]

Mohit Rahaman I know.

[@MelodicPhrase]

hahaha... amazing! and I can't stop smile. but it's so strange and funny that zaza says 'EAZY ARPEGGIO' in sweep picking part. is that really easy?

[@cch312]

I think he's trying say they are easy because they are all just major and minor chords which are just three notes per chord. The sweeping skill is really difficult, I think he will agrees too.

[@bikermousefrommarz6739]

Brilliant 🤘🏼

[@creatorjan]

How much pentatonic you want? Neil Zaza: Yes 🎸

[@shijason1581]

awesome

[@sskcorea]

Hey GuitarcubeChina! Thanks for uploading this video. By the way, do you guys have the settings of the HT5R combo amp? (Especially I curious about how much volume did he put on it)

[@jranggimcheranz5465]

very nice music

thx for sharing this... omg it is really difficult to play this one :)

[@Md-zt5bf]

The coil in neil zaza pickup is different?

[@eeghajimoeegha6286]

I wish I could play like you

[@Wanshankupardiengdoh]

So it's A Major - F # Major - B major - G # Major.

[@ףידאלבלו]

Hi Zaza...I missed the last tabs like the slow one where you played the Uncle Sam's National Song...please please I wanted complete this half of your masterpiece too :)

[@urielrios19821]

I like this song

[@SniffersCreepers]

I mastered this song but I still need this vid because some people that has their own version keep telling me that I'm wrong so I'm going to prove them that I'm right.

[@champdude17]

I think he's rewritten the song before as the studio version plays the triad bit an octive higher, aswell as having other differences. You can play the song however you want really, as long as you follow the basic outline it will sound good.

[@abisamraj4408]

You are alright

[@hashsamte1365]

The original author is JERRY C... The composer of canon rock!!

[@leonazsxdc]

Could u post the amp settings?

[@PyroShredder982]

Damn how many times did he hit the pickup selector? Haha

[@hasahchan4775]

Yes

[@PaulinhoYamamoto]

I love this song. I'm recording to post on my channel!

[@e314520513]

very pleasing

[@luisforeal8676]

He's at the level of Buckethead with that skill.

[@kevinjd409]

Man I've always wanted to learn everything but the parts that I am confused of are those "I don't know what to play until it gets there" maybe I should improvise

[@o.o9322]

[@spiderkds]

can any one tell me what tone is this??

[@bjaygurung562]

Danger tone

[@bikermousefrommarz6739]

...at precisely 13:32 I realised I will never be able to play this song completely 🤘🏼😂🤘🏼

[@dasad49]

have you tabs?

[@managasca1997]

Nylon string ?

[@danielc9149]

+quyền đỗ Nylons are only practically used for acoustics as far as I know

[@Disfigurate]

+Daniel Cohen Nylons are actually used for classical guitars, although it is possible to use nylon strings on acoustics as well. But practically everyone uses steel strings on acoustics (and of course electric guitars).

[@chrispham6599]

Nylon strings never produce this kind of tone

[@samztz31]

chinese subtitle is awesome

[@cch312]

didn't expect it would have chinese subtitles

[@nivlemli]

why does he have to keep turning up and down the switch?

[@sangaywangdi8641]

To add flavour

[@elvis_chen]

Nice, but somebody forgot to do color grading?

[@Nnang82]

happy shredder

[@meyisorl.longkumer2042]

Nice face expressions

[@shalomishai1574]

Sir make lesson for melodia2012

[@테드옹]

Ok I totally got it except I don’t

[@waranghira]

Did they just play the backing track on a guitar amp? Sounds even phone quality. Could've at least played it on the bass amp.

[@billybat5790]

Wanted to see how he did his sweeps and he can't even play them clean live.

[@鮪魚-p1j]

居然有中文😮

Inaccurate in so many parts

[@marka9261]

LOL - but it is his own song

[@BlueArpeggio.PoDoDan]

Not sure if the guitars placed at back are real or cheap chinese copies...

[@TheRhksgud0731]

누가 한글 자막좀…

[@maxwellhawk]

And this is "HOW"? I used to play Neil songs bc they was relatively simple so most of it u can pick it up on ear. But his textbook narcissism and need to show off... Even though album versions is simple he makes videos "how to play it" and do it in such matter that not only beginners cannot figure out what was it but probably skilled players too. Feels like he wanna make u feel: "See how i awesome and suck, u wanna try to play it?.. Ha-ha.. loser". Sort of thing...

[@Cheximus]

Very average player hiding behind walls of distortion, delay and reverb. Great taste in guitars though.

[@elittercero9898]

Cheximus he is way better than you will ever be tho, so ig we can say you are below average

[@Cheximus]

Madrid Fan if that makes you feel better then great! 😂

[@splod]

HAHAHAHAHAH, "very average player", its Neil fucking Zaza bro
