Haha great question! I’d love to have more guitars to have a larger variety of easily accessible alternate tunings. Currently have 2 guitars I use often, I usually keep them in standard. Currently one is Eb standard and the other is Drop C. For real though, drop tunings are the fucking best. Rock out 🤘🏻 with your cock out people!

The Imagine Dragons lick was an example of a good tweet by a follower who Tyler promised to play, then Tyler goes and shuts it down 🤣

[@OneAndZer0]

Honestly kind of annoying. I don't like imagine dragons, but acting like there's nothing we could learn from them is pretty lame. Music pretentiousness is obnoxious. Edit - went and listened to it, pretty simple stuff, but fits the style of this video well

I don't understand why actually! The guitar lick from 'Warriors' 1.47 onwards is pretty cool, and would have been a good one to do. Imagine Dragons may not be the best band in the world, but to be fair he has played worse stuff in the past!!

I'm just a bass guitarist so forgive me if I'm out of order here but in the early 90's I was in a band that did the Night Court theme and then in a different set we did the Barney Miller theme song, both just as a little bridge to make a couple of medleys. That was such a fun band to play in!

[@christopherdiedrich40]

here's one that is more muscle memory than anything else, I think: Paul Gilbert's opening lick on "Green Tinted Sixties Mind" from Mr. Big... I can play it now, but it took MANY MANY MANY reps to program my fingers, because this lick is all over the fretboard, lol!

[@steveburman5957]

Killer intro! I just finished learming that myself. PG is amazing

[@PrevostMusic]

Love these videos where you work out the song in real time with us, like you did with the Tool album as well. Cool to watch the process and a look into your musicianship at work.

[@jeffparker4840]

Paradigm Shift by Liquid Tension Experiment... The licks between 6:45 to 6:56, 2 separate licks that I hear. That song has so many juicy licks in it.. but that one is crazy. The intro lick is repeated a bunch of times during the song as well.. The lick isn't that hard to lay but the tempo at which John plays it makes it incredibly difficult. This was one of the first "hard" song I tried to learn how to play. It took me a year to get a minute and a half into this song. (this was 20 years ago) You could also give Universal Mind by the same band a shot. 0:00 to 0:06.

Great job Tyler, I really love how real and honest you are on your channel...Your not afraid to even make a mistake here and there, which is JUST WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PLAY GUITAR. If you say you never make mistakes you are simply a liar through and through dude! Dare to be real and authentic!!! Thanks Tyler, your efforts are greatly appreciated by me and many, many others.
