Dweezil Zappa Demonstrates the Perfect EVH Pick Slide

[@hardypahardypa1]

Funny enough I have rarely seen a course on pick slide’s. This is incredible!

[@jfoust7945]

I know it's so fucking dope

[@InfinityMotorsports]

I’ll never get tired of listening to Dweezil talk about his bud Eddie Van Halen- and showing us how it’s done. Thank you Rick- thank you Dweezil

[@JTB--]

I like Rick's face reflections on Dweezil's guitar

[@KatrenaS]

💯

[@stophittingyourselves]

I like your reflection on Rick's reflecting off Dweezil's guitar.

[@MegaHogzilla]

I had a chance to meet Dweezil and several of his band members after a show. They hung out in the lobby for a long time just talking with fans. He is one of the most humble, kind, and patient people you'll ever meet.

[@2112CO]

Dweezil stays after each show and takes photos and sings autograph's. Such a killer band and humble dude.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

Awesome technique. That SG is fabulous. It is a proper guitar.

[@dangabor8585]

I could listen to Dweezil all day long. Smart guy and quite a player to boot.

[@johnsmith1474]

Very cool reflection of Rick's face in Dweez' guitar throughout the vid. Cameraman in heaven.

[@charlenetrawick1647]

Dweezil is so BAD ASS, and he looks so very normal when he plays :)

[@candaceburlingame4060]

Sounded really great!! Seems like a really nice guy!! 🎸 😊❤

[@Peter_S_]

If you ever get a chance to see him live, DO NOT pass it up! It will be one of the best shows of your life.

[@candaceburlingame4060]

@Peter_S_ I take it you've Been to one of his concerts, Peter? I'd love to see him live. 😍

[@Peter_S_]

@@candaceburlingame4060 Yes, I saw him and his band in Austin about 10 years ago and my knees were melting in musical bliss. Seriously. It was that good. His keyboard player was beyond out of this world. She was "just" a high school music teacher by day, but she was easily one of the best keys players I've ever heard in my life. Beyond amazing.

[@sammyvh11]

Zappa is a cool dude

[@CreamyBone]

Goddamn this is cool

[@mikemclenison8200]

I am subscribed to all channels and look forward to all topics.

[@stelladonaconfredobutler9459]

thank you for having Dweezil on. he is looking smokiin' hot

[@dizzyred1390]

DZ is a brilliant guitarist and teacher!

[@patmayer7222]

Tnx,,Mr jr.ZAPPA...,,,,,i saw your dad,1980..Denver,CO.shut up & play guitar. Concert😮,,,(steve vai),,,..epic nite of music.

[@sword649]

"That's not right, but it sounds great" guitar motto for the ages!

[@cato451]

That tone is awesome!

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

To me the best pick slide/scrape was RR. If you listen to the opening of Suicide Solution the song begins with an epic slide into the heaviest riff an Ozzy track ever produced. Randy had that same gift

[@douglasalan5783]

Love Dweezil.

[@pgallant]

That SG is gorgeous. Proof of concept, full pickguard on an SG is dope!

[@puffherb]

Not to mention Rick looks great reflecting off of it.

[@HIFI1965]

It is so fucking clear that the apple does not fall from the tree.... Dweezil, your father was a big inspiration to me. It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy to see your intellect and talent applied. You are your own thing, but I can see your father's intelligence in you.

[@mht525]

Awesome. Correct Dwezzel. My friend plays with the plastic bread ties. So thin they are the wrong shape and break in 30 seconds. So I give him thin guauge picks. ✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺

[@martinhuband4773]

C Cs slide on talk dirty to me gets me every time

[@justinpalmer6098]

His pick slide said DUH-WEE-ZUL

[@TheNudeBrewer]

At the end, when Dweezil says "wuhhh well, that's not right... but it sounds great!!" Brings to mind Ed's quote: That's why they call it music THEORY, and not music fact. ;)

[@robertcartwright4374]

(Asked of Yogi Berra) - "Mr. Berra, what's the difference between theory and practice?" "Well, in theory there is no difference, but in practice there is."

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

EXCELLENT.

[@HIFI1965]

I also love to see the SG.

[@OperationNorthwoods]

Rick, please interview Bob Mould and Krist Novoselic.

[@dejablueguitar]

I FREEKIN LOVE THIS GEEKY SHIT!!

[@chelososamusic]

Long live the king, evh is like a classical composer people will refer to always but in the history of rock guitar (i hope)

[@French_Canadian_Pea_Soup]

I like this guy.

[@SisyphusGuitar]

Suddenly I feel compelled to call out Ben Eller, aka Uncle Ben, for his particularly wispy pick scrapes. Zing!

[@EightVinylLow]

Hell yeah

[@HIFI1965]

imma subscribed.

[@moogfooger]

Now for your next trick.....John Mclaughlin! (while he is still alive to tell the tale) Love you Dweezil! cheers

[@Anselmiankey]

Rick. Will you have Roy Marchbank on your channel?

[@stevesims-d6c]

I got a studio tan just watching

[@bulkvanderhuge9006]

Thinner picks have a better chance to get between the string windings. A thick pick will sit across more string windings and not make the same sound.

[@stevesims-d6c]

yay!

[@naznomad635]

1:32 breaks into Roadrunner

[@ROOKTABULA]

I remember playing one of Ed's guitars, (numbered 1984 and it had a slight rout under the Floyd), the night before seeing a Monsters Of Rock show in 88 in Minneapolis. The pick was thinner than a finger nail. His tech, Zeke Clark, who's hotel room was on the floor above ours and where I first laid eyes on the guitar I played and the 5150 axe, said they were 36mm. Ed called a bit later while we were talking and sounded a bit pissed off and Zeke motioned I should bail. So before I left, despite a box FULL of EVH signature embossed picks, I _put the pick back on the guitar_ because I didn't want to steal from Ed or get Zeke in shite if he didn't notice 1 missing. Every time I think of that, I SO regret putting it back. I got back home and bought a dozen of those thin, 36mm gauge picks. Used them for years. I eventually moved up to 56mm. I believe Ed weren't heavier as well later. Like Ed, most likely because I watched him so closely, I also hold my pick between the thumb and middle finger. That makes a difference for tremolo picking for sure and doing pinch harmonics with my index finger while picking.

[@JudgeFredd]

Awesome

[@TheMattmatic]

Okay, I’m not a good guitar player by any means, but it never occured to me that some players might hold their pick between the thumb and index finger. For 30 years it’s just been the middle finger for me, naturally

[@MrJackal43]

Sure Jan….

[@0num4]

Dweezil inherited his old man's love and talent for music. Though I really miss Frank's forthrightness when it comes to topics of freedom of expression, govt censorship, etc--no one said it as eloquently as him, while still maintaining the blunt force trauma of his logic.

[@Mayhemzz]

Imagine having played guitar for less than a year getting personal lessons from Eddie van Halen. We are not born equal 🤣

[@joechiricosta4004]

Where’s the David Gilmore interview Rick? 😊

[@canbest7668]

Great sound!

[@lousekoya1803]

Watching two passionate Italians talking about music jusdt made my day !

[@paullavallee1631]

Amazing technique

[@CheetahSnowLeopard]

[@rareform6747]

LOVE THAT SG !!

[@patmayer7222]

Not to mention,,= the hot rodded S.G.,,,,holy cats ,,KOOL😮

[@DA_Fuller]

Loved this!!😊

[@RyanShephard-p2p]

I have band mate who adds a pick slide to a chill version of come together. I hate it.

[@Andybaby]

Ahhh. so THAT'S why my pick slides have always sucked!!!

[@jamesonpace726]

We, his disciples of lowest rank to highest, speak well as always, of The Master....

[@splashesin8]

😄

[@Brainiac22]

Perfection!

[@bruceniblett959]

That's why Eddie was ripped, and impossible to copy

[@omally]

So awesome 😎🤘🎸

[@mikemaas9944]

Hiya. Looking forward to Dweezil coming to San Antonio.
