Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock - Guitar Lesson

[@CrisisActorJonsiri]

I've been playing this for years by the Hal Leonard book and always skipped the solo. I can't solo for shit, but this might be the way for me. I just suck at reading tab solos. Seeing it broken down so well gives me confidence. Thank you. A drummer.

[@richardbrowne1670]

AtomiKat Light Industries Slow is the secret...you can do it brother. We are all on the musical journey. Take your time and persistence is the key. Rock on and love from Australia

[@Lorenzconnok]

Same! For like 20 years playing this song without the solo, spent an afternoon watching this and I've got it down packed - this was a great tutorial for sure.

[@PAULAMANN]

The best guitar tutorial i've seen on youtube. No superfluous ego bollox. Just the right info. trusts the student to work it out sometimes and discover by feeling and hearing . You're funny to. Perfect. Thanks.

[@BrettPapa]

+Paula Mann Thanks! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@Lak3baby]

Paula Mann okay but wtf is a superflouciaouds ego bull ox 😂😂💀💀💀💀

[@darrellbrock4788]

The Siamese Dream album was my favorite album for years. I feel sorry for people who have never listened to it. From what I've seen, the song Silver Fuck from that album wasn't as popular as the other songs, but I loved that song.

[@BrettPapa]

Great tune! Great album as well!

[@Wargasm54]

It’s a stellar album. All killer, no filler. The early -mid nineties were awesome with this album. This album is permanently etched into the deepest recesses of my brain. Could’ve been all the acid too 🤣. Ahh, good times.

[@coffeecomics3583]

The website of KZbin. Lol

[@RustEZZEProductions]

n... no

[@TeddScheckler]

I've seen so many versions of this in tab and video lessons, but this the the ONE that finally made this song click for me!

[@mikemilone9138]

Dude thank you. This was so easy to understand. I love the Pumpkins.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad you liked it!

[@renanespinoza]

Man, you look like Frank Zappa.

[@satzrunningonadream260]

lol

[@onthe1481]

No he doesn't--doesn't even slightly resemble him.

[@BR-ms6te]

Anthony Kiedis?

[@liasmusic8148]

he does lmao

[@tyjoisacoward4010]

It's the moustache

[@SuperNick090]

Damn...That strat growls man ...BADASS TONE!!

[@TokyoXtreme]

I think we all know how much better Billy Corgan would be if he were to grow back his hair and a sick 'stache.

[@jammcrusader1981]

only if he could do that lol :D

[@shaindaman13]

I have recently re-visited the entire Siamese Dream album after quite some years hearing it and it still sounds so fresh. Great album.

[@barryleslie7727]

Definitely one of my favourites

[@sergiyshtankevych3026]

awesome lesson! have a huge blister on my finger now

[@douglaschristine8387]

What's up Brett you and I like all the same music. Your the first one to explain in detail exactly what octaves are and how to play them and mute the other strings. Everytime I look up a song their you are. Rock on!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Thanks for tuning in! More song tutorials on the way!

[@switchmann]

your the man Stasche! awesome teacher, I learn tons watching you.

[@BrettPapa]

+switchmann Thanks!

[@900racerx]

Love this lesson on my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song! Thanks, I will be replaying this quite a bit!

[@DaxHamel]

Subbed. Really impressive how well you teach. Patient, detailed, fun. PS: I typed that before you got to the solo, now I bow. Thanks.

[@JHMBB2]

This is my first real full song I'm learning, I'm getting it slowly but surely!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Way to go!

[@airbrushking07]

your strato has THE BEST distortion tone i have ever heard!!!

[@dive_in_me226]

Humbucker in the bridge position on a strat is a dope move

[@madeintyotpc7007]

Omg I've been waiting forever for this thank you

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome!

[@BlackYtas]

Nice and clear tutorial! Thanks a lot for sharing this great song from the Smashing Pumpkins. Im going to work on it asap!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@raywark1136]

Played this album, “Dirt” by AIC, and “Superunknown” pretty much every day my sophomore year at Michigan State. Such a great ERA

[@BrettPapa]

For sure! Great tunes back then!

[@eoin8450]

Are you me?

[@HighDefHomes]

Best guitar lessons I've found on youtube. The stache is just a doube razor sharped edged exclamation point. !~!

[@artofpretention]

thnx for the solo, just saved me 30 mins of figuring it out!

[@garrettnuncio1926]

Really nice that you described your fingers positions.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@jimc1808]

Dude!! This is such a great lesson! Thanks for making sense out of that crazy solo! You nailed it!

[@cwyatt034]

Great Lesson. That strat has such a great tone. Will def be playing this song today.

[@jbrooks1348]

Another rocking lesson!! Great, great tune, and awesome teaching, as always.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for watching!

[@xdeathtoll]

i dont really like coming on youtube to learn songs but i gotta say youre the best

[@Ondelay]

Nice lesson, I'll get this down over the weekend. This one rocks for sure, Thank You!

[@adriancourt]

Thanks mate, really enjoy your lessons, easy to follow,very appreciated

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@joes9545]

That rig sounds amazing.

[@Rand_al_Thor372]

Flanger, bigmuff & prolly an mxr super distortion is what Corgan used back then.

[@daveg4236]

Joe S add in JCM800

[@telefunkenyou47]

If I had a guitar teacher like you when I first started taking lessons, I would already know how to play this song.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Thanks!

[@josephcorgan1740]

this is fucking Awesome , thanks man :) !!

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@ohplezz]

Awesome lesson. You break it down barney style for big dummies like me. Thanks

[@joeymuncie7881]

The stash is pure fuzzzz!

[@BrettPapa]

Haha!

[@vic_cam]

0:24 YAAAAAAAAAAHH LMFAO IM DYING

[@Wargasm644]

Badass! I let that top string ring out like a mofo in lieu of the other guitar. You gotta make sure you hit those octave notes hard though if you got the gain cranked to 11🤘🏻 Killer lesson. I’ve seen about 10 different ways to play this solo. I’ve taken all the bits that sound right too my ear and strung them all together into one cohesive melodic Frankenstein. A few good lessons available out there. But this is definitely one of the best. Thanks for your video. It’s almost as badass as your stache 🤘🏻

[@BrettPapa]

Haha thanks! Thanks for watching!

[@TheCanyonpascal]

Great tone! Nice lesson. Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Glad you liked it!

[@thevirusboy32]

[@BrettPapa]

Yep its a good one! More Pumpkins coming soon.

[@thegoat48]

Wow, sounds so pristine....

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@ohplezz]

You really teach this well. Better then anyone else on youtube. How about "silver fuck" off of the same album. Its a killer song that nobody has ever tough on youtube.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Hmmmm I'll check that one out. They have so many good tunes! He is such a good writer.

[@juliansantos13]

spot on solo!

[@tonygow1817]

great lesson easy to follow like others love to discuss gear mods in perticular and recomended distortion pedels etc

[@mikedouglas9863]

8 years late, but glad I found you

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Welcome!

[@beamflies]

Awesome job ...... on the tache! Lesson is pretty excellent too :)

[@rictube11]

Yeah it's been a while since I had that in my player but it's one of the better pumpkins tunes IMO. Thanks for another super lesson :D

[@ell46and2]

Excellent video. Great teaching and great playing. many thanks. Any chance of some more Pumpkins lessons? So many great songs.

[@loretta2539]

thanks so much papastache!! I have a cheap guitar as my first guitar but it is better than not having one :D

[@BrettPapa]

That is true! I've seen some exceptional music played on cheap guitar! It's all about the player :)

[@pauldub67]

fantastic lesson

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@awesomeck911]

This solo is sooooooo fun

[@BrettPapa]

It's a good one!

[@maximilianocastillo4558]

excellent , and the solo ,,,,i just can say thanx , suscribe and left my like ,good man

[@BrettPapa]

Thank you sir!

[@brianporter138]

Great lesson thank you

[@blooskerz1966]

Thank you, i’ve been wanting to learn this song for a while and honestly the other videos are confusing but this one is easy to understand. Thank you once again.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!

[@zenel25]

Great lesson!

[@mbglosser]

Nice lesson man.. Helped me nail the solo better .. One small thing though- Rather than play power chords on the D to A chord in the verse... Billy plays his D chord on the E string 10th fret, A string 9th fret and G string 11th (mute D B and e) while playing the A chord on D string 11th, G on 9th and B on 10th while James takes that same D chord shape i showed you slides it down to the 5th for the A... (You can do either for the A) You'll hear the difference immediately

[@shirvy]

Damn I love this lesson!!!!! Thanks man

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Thanks for checking it out!

[@hugopereira1665]

Thanks a lot, man! You Rock

[@BrettPapa]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

[@rmark900]

Excellent - thanks for sharing.

[@geoffe.7318]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@NighttimeVulture]

legendary :'( This will probably be the first lesson i try after I learn to play a Strat

[@kazuyamishima1980]

Lesson 1: Fuzz is fun. Got it! Thx man!

[@benjihollister]

certainly not Billy's greatest solo but its up there....the phrasing is to tasteful and amazing. Great video brother!!

[@Chrisparxx]

Damn, I noticed that on live performances but didn't know how, thanks. For a one guitar play, it sounds odd, but together (two guitars) you are right on.

[@smoothassmooth]

there are many mustaches out there but yours is the best! great lesson too.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! The funny thing is it grows that way in about 5 days haha! Thanks for watching!

[@pokerinvite]

P.I.M.P. !!! More Pumpkins Please

[@realjimmyd]

Yeah brotha !! Btw loved you on Lucky Louie 💪😎

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Whats Lucky Louie?

[@BrewersArcade]

great instruction...thanks!

[@imannonymous7707]

Ya got style bro...🤘

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@boolosboi7503]

I really like the way you play it. I think the chorus sounds better with the power chords instead of the open chords used on the studio version. Your version of the solo is also awesome. The studio version of the solo is so hard to recreate since they mixed two tapes together and used in-studio effects for it, but your solo sounds better than the studio one in my opinion without those special effects. Good job!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! I did an updated version on my channel. Check it out and see if you like that one.

[@raybbaby]

Wow, I am subscriber, how am I just seeing this now? Cool lesson.

[@BrettPapa]

+raybbaby thanks for watching!

[@montagedrift]

Thanks man you're awesome

[@BrettPapa]

No you are awesome!

[@shaneruddock-pedallingtheg8114]

You teach like jack black and sound like him and kinda resemble him haha! I could listen to your tutorials all day throw in some attitude like the d and KG man keep it up

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad ya like them!

[@asparagusbear3323]

solo at 7:58. props to Mr. Corgan that is a freaking awesome solo. I think he used fender blender fuzz, univox superfuzz or some kind of octave fuzz.

[@braydenkenney3313]

I think it was the big muff pedal

[@fabianchewtv7828]

OMG! This is awesome!

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@McCready12]

You rule Papa Stache!!
