Nailed the Tom Morello tone 🤘

Cheers Aron!

[@squamham8426]

That guitar looks too innocent to be playing Rage haha

[@LetsPlayAll]

haha, this guitar has seen things!

[@ecoadam]

Its always the guitar in the collection that you would least expect to use that tend to be the most fun to play on!

[@JAF2991]

It's a Suhr, it can handle rage lol

[@roosterj2599]

I have a surf green Schecter Super Shredder Strat and I play Death, Venom, Slayer covers on it. I get the same reaction from people and from my band when I first got it.

Funkadelic74 haha yes indeed!

[@strongallalong89]

Exceptionally excellent cover! I have a Spark practice amp, bit of a novice on electric guitar. What overdrive effect specifically is Morello using? I can’t quite seem to get it like you did in this video. Your distortion is spot on to how Morello sounds!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks mate! I’d aim for a Marshall tone and you want neck pickup which loses a lot of the gain 🤘😊

[@strongallalong89]

@@LetsPlayAll thanks brother! 🤘

[@robwagenaar40]

I have a (beginner) question for the intro part. You only play the ADG strings right? Do you mute the other strings with your frethand? Or do you just practice to play those three strings on 1 strum?

[@joaomanuel2]

That toneeeeee

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks Sassy!

[@rm9719]

The ""Jimi Hendrix" riff is as you played it but using artificial harmonics, giving that clean chiming sound. To do this, follow the chord shape but halfway up the neck of each string, just touching the string with your right index finger and picking just behind it.. takes some practice but you'll know you've got it when you hear it.

[@LetsPlayAll]

thanks mate I'll check that out

[@dylancarter2632]

Wow that is an awesome vid, one suggestion instead of the c at the end try x5x8xx, see what you think.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Cheers Dylan will give that a go!

[@buzz1breakdown]

Hell yeah ! Wake uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup !

[@LetsPlayAll]

haha boom!

[@pallobomba]

Whammy= 7th Saludos!

[@alvaromelis7816]

Good video man. Next time can you play take the power back ?

[@LetsPlayAll]

Lots more RATM to come Alvaro :-) Thanks for the suggestion

[@bully078]

No hay riff final?

[@Olddog1987]

ถึงผมจะฟังภาษาอังกฤษไม่ค่อยเข้าใจนัก แต่พี่ชายทำให้ผมเล่นกีตาร์ใด้หลายเพลงมากๆครับ thank bro.

[@rizvanxd8724]

Hey mate love your lessons more Alice In Chains and nirvana please and please make lessons for oasis and blur this ratm lesson was spot on 😎😎😎♥️ more Radiohead as well haha :))

[@LetsPlayAll]

Haha you have excellent taste 🤘😀 Thanks so much for the kind words too!

[@brunonsantos_]

Hii, can you make a RATM Take The Power Back video please?

[@LetsPlayAll]

thought i'd already done that one but appears I haven't! Probably time for a RATM Patreon vote so i'll throw that in the mix!

[@brunonsantos_]

@@LetsPlayAll Thank you very much!!! :D

[@andhikaabdurrokhman8477]

Know your enemy riffs , please 😊

[@LetsPlayAll]

On the list, fear not!

[@Manzanito-hh7ux]

[@urielmoran9858]

Good video man really accurate could u do me a favor and do a lesson on take the power bak by RATM I’ve looked it up on KZbin but know one has a lesson they jus do the cover without a lesson I would really appreciate that thanks dude have a great day

[@LetsPlayAll]

Hey Uriel thanks man glad you enjoyed it! I'll get to them all eventually but I've got a load of requests at the moment so best bet is Patreon if you want things soonish :-)

[@urielmoran9858]

Fursure dude no worries

[@obmen_veshei]

Any overdrive before amp?

[@LetsPlayAll]

yes i think likely BE-OD for this one

[@David-u3w1d]

Partitura?

[@emrahu1327]

Waitin for the next ratm lesson without patience. I hope its gonna be "killing..". Cuz it includes of complicated main riff.

[@TheeIronJedi]

Percussive ghosts chick- uhs

[@SdMbL1]

Good tone but well off for this song. Not trying to hate, but it’s either a little out of tune or the tone needs adjusted.

[@andrewbateman4913]

Your blue licks do not fit.

[@richardbladehartstewart8675]

Your face resembles mine because you have done this song!!!! Thanks bud 🤘🤘
