Thank you so much, i have been watching several tutorial videos and yours is the easiest one ❤️

[@LetsPlayAll]

You’re welcome and that's great to hear! 😊

[@jhop43]

Always just nail the smaller details which really make the overall sound. You’ve helped my playing come on so much. Thanks dude!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Great to hear mate!

[@Nissan570Lsx]

I had a whammy v5 but then heard Tom say v1 or nothing. Hunted one down. I think you're the only one who goes over the whammy part. Good stuff. Thanks.

[@LetsPlayAll]

You're welcome. I've no idea what mine is :-)

Thank you for good lesson!!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Welcome!

[@emrahu1327]

Thank you Matt. Ive been waiting for a pretty long time for this!

[@LetsPlayAll]

you're welcome!

[@alexanderspiesberger3501]

I remember buying the songbook in 94 and have always refused to buy a whammy pedal ever since.... maybe I need to reconsider.... hahaha

[@LetsPlayAll]

Whammy is the most fun ever! It's one of the few pedals that just makes you smile :-)

[@gav6808]

Good stuff and old 90s classic !👍

[@oneampscouse]

This is brilliant, thank you

[@karllongbottomguitars9192]

Awesome Matt, as ever

Thanks Karl!

[@richardbladehartstewart8675]

Dude this is awesome!!!!! Thank you thank you 🙏

No problem Blade you're welcome!!

[@wayneholman1761]

Great Lesson Matt,I already know this apart from the Digitec Whammy bit,so maybe get one for Christmas? Thanks for sharing mate.. 👍 ❤🎸🤟

[@LetsPlayAll]

You’re welcome Wayne! Yea whammy pedals are a bunch of fun mate 😀🤘

[@wayneholman1761]

@@LetsPlayAll I may just get one then I didn't see the point for one song,but there's quite a few songs I like especially RATM Songs...I was watching Sounds like on Andertons TV and Rabea achieving the same song with one...Thanks again mate!

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@wayneholman1761 yea plus even without the whammy pedal noises you get a decent harmoniser too!

[@robertmckenny6711]

thank you from winnipeg

[@LetsPlayAll]

You're welcome!

[@arturoattardi2763]

Great man...the RATM sessions :)

[@bradb9031]

Thanks bro 🙌

[@LetsPlayAll]

No problem 👍

[@robertgraham1573]

How the hell are you muting that low D with your right hand in the intro. I just cant figure it out. I have to use my left hand and it sounds crap. Brilliant lesson. Your channel is quickly becoming my favourite. Thanks for all the great song choices. Especially the RATM and Smashing Pumpkins. Bloody awesome. Thanks from South Africa 😉

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks Robert! I’m using my right hand to damp the Low D string for that intro riff, like you’d use for a chug with the karate chop part of your palm. Hope that helps!

[@robertgraham1573]

@@LetsPlayAll thanks very much. I must say this is very skilful in my opinion. I can hardly see that right hand of yours moving. I need way more practice. Thanks again. Really enjoy the channel with the selection of lessons.

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@robertgraham1573 you’re welcome mate!

[@dredd1966]

I think intro is played with a flanger and not a phaser

[@LetsPlayAll]

yea it may well be mate, i think he swapped out his flanger for a phaser and stuck with that over the years, don;t think i actually had a flanger back then! :-)

[@alexanderthegreat1356]

Nice you should do know your enemy next.

[@LetsPlayAll]

That's a bad ass tune, it's on the list. The solo is a beauty!

[@thelastfly]

I think in the main riff there are 2 palm muted x x to get the shit out and a hammer on not slides

[@LetsPlayAll]

Cool thanks Christian will check that out!

[@AS-ne4zv]

Ya beauty! Shame I can only click that like button once 👍

[@LetsPlayAll]

haha thanks A S appreciate it!

[@Smurfatefrog]

Some useful bits here too on how Tom plays it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3u7q4xvq82kkMk (he doesn't seem to use the 3 to 5 octave, just uses the A string)

[@LetsPlayAll]

oo nice one Smurf, a bit easier that way!

[@douglaschristine8387]

Love this song but I couldn't hang with the solo, my aching head, lol. Thanks, peace.

[@gingerpenguin7843]

Epic 🙌🙌 any chance of Elephant by Tame Impala ?

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks man, great track suggestion too! I'm a bit snowed with Patreon requests at the mo mate but i can certainly add it to the list :-)

Do you have a link to the whammy that you utilize? Thanks a ton

[@LetsPlayAll]

Sorry mate no idea - maybe a version 4?! just went for the cheapest one i could get on ebay tbh!

[@Seththebot]

@@LetsPlayAll ok cool so like the red DigiTech Whammy IV Harmony Guitar Effect Pedal?
