[@sohibconner6926]

Dave still butthurting from metallica, Also playing hard ass riffs doesnt mean its a perfect song, too many simple songs are 10x times better, metalheads and metal artists has to know that

[@Krangeris]

Yup, hard-ass riffs and solos don't mean the song is better. However, using hard-ass techniques gives you a wider choice, letting the song sound exactly as the artist wants it to. Plus, song sounds more original. Lastly, if I had to choose between a song with a guitar solo (difficult) and a song without solo (or some easy Seven Nation Army solo), i would definetly choose the difficult one. Difficult riffs often do sound better.

Buckethead played bed time music (jingles for childeren) He did not win although he was second place . The guy who won the contest was from Japan. What the judges did no't know was the fact that Buckethead played both guitar parts at the same time once.

Hunedpcl7 I know, right? He should really try to stop biting them.

[@BradleyStoneV]

I noticed that on another video (maybe the toy guitar one), and now I can't stand to look lol..

[@galloway7448]

Serious case of onychophagia... Dude needs help.

[@Singingdolphin101]

Marty Friedman is incredible 🎸

[@tak178]

"His hand looks like some sort of crustacean..." LMAO

[@Koala019]

tak178 yes, i can confirm this was in the video

[@Betterthantelly]

Allan Holdsworth! Yesss the man. Respect to you for playing some too. Holdsworth is miles beyond anyone technically and musically on electric guitar. It is subjective what you enjoy more of course.

[@sambakula3998]

Salad fingers is the lovechild of Buckethead and Paul Gilbert's fingers

[@willums4225]

I know right... to bad he's insane...

[@leonci5639]

Pantera Domination solo would be another one but the most impossible one is the solo of Heir Apparent by Opeth!

[@hellscorpion1860]

Leon Mravak at last....somebody mentioned it...

[@smradztoiek]

And what a great song overall!

[@Kike-ti8xr]

Paul Gilbert's pinky tho...that thing along can stretch from 12th to 24th efortlessly

[@marshallzingkhai889]

Kike1787 Paul gilbert's ring finger is longer than my short ass asian stature

[@ulyssessait]

bigger than my asian sized dick too!

[@zacharybickham5757]

I find tornado funny because marty has small hands. He's just amazing.

[@Warhawk-kf9mx]

That ending was a bit of a stretch.

[@MyQUILLEN]

Dave Mustaine walk pass me at a show I was working at. He looked reel pissed at the world. It was pretty metal.

[@thekid9279]

MyQUILLEN that's Dave!

[@laurieterreberry616]

Hahahahahaha Steve. You don't have little girl hands and I don't think you can get stretch marks on your fingers. Great idea for a video and very funny too.

[@simbathegermanshepard9564]

hello mommaT

[@Justin-ou6gq]

What's for dinner mom?

[@weidnerfamily6385]

Don't worry I have small fingers

[@crazyeybrowdancer5777]

My middle finger is also about 3" Haha ow

[@GlenTropile]

I think if you did get stretch marks on your fingers, they would get worn(buffed) off over time pretty quickly, especially if you work with your hands.

[@anobody8640]

In my opinion, one of the most hardest so gs to play with small hands is My Way by Limp Bizkit, like, Wes Borland did some weird chords in the chorus part, and there is a part where he streches his finger from fret 2-A to 5-D and 7-G and goeas all the way to the frets 10-12 and 14 following the same pattern but changes the string he playes on with that pattern, Limp Bizkit is pretty underrated

[@j.emimalp.8642]

Smoooke on the waaaaater

[@justarandomlittlemetalhead7058]

5 creeplayers -0-3-5--0-3-6-5--0-3-5-3-0

[@ilir96]

Yeah but the solo is actually pretty hard. Funny how a lot of people say Smoke on the Water is an easy song just because of its riff lol

[@j.emimalp.8642]

Ilir Piliki It's just to make fun of it, I know it's not that easy

[@User-es2yz]

5 creeplayers very rarely do I see someone play it correct and not just with power cords

[@parasbisht7990]

Broo! The legato part in the solo of Domination by Dime. That thing's frigginnn' impossible

[@Justinator1]

Amateur Vlogs came here to comment that lol I gave up on that solo

[@TomsterMusic]

"Ligament Shift!" New band name!

[@JanderVK]

Prog metal band name right there.

[@ketsu9670]

Death metal?

[@Michael_VG]

Hey Stevie, I’m not sure if other guitarists count this as a big stretch but in Ozzy Osbourne’s Bark at the Moon right at the end of the opening riff you have to bar the tenth fret on the b and g strings with your fourth finger while you’re playing the fifth fret on the d string with your first finger.

[@differentlenses]

*fret

[@PigmaStatiX156]

That's more of a jump than a stretch

[@Nico-uw6mz]

Yeee that tornado of souls solo is a fucking nightmare. Beautiful. But a nightmare

[@AndyD070568]

Mister ? Best. Solo. Ever.

[@Nico-uw6mz]

AndyD070568 yeah man it's one of the best but have you listened to the solo to "Silence" by dragonforce? My own favorite. You should really check it out!

[@H.E.M.]

Nightmare does have a awesome solo

[@InitiatorOfDarkness]

1:00 MICK THOMSON!!!🎸👍

[@robbiej2734]

As a bass player, I couldn't stop thinking "these would be impossible to play on a bass guitar" (edit: holy shit, I didn't expect this to get so many likes. thanks guys!)

[@frootxjuice]

RobbieJ2734 Same. I don't even use my ring or pinky finger.

[@pablodmariano]

I thought the exactly same thing

[@Lz1906.]

that's why u use another strings hahahaha

[@robbiej2734]

I was referring to how the frets on bass are twice as wide

[@jayson3900]

As a fellow guitarist with small hands and fingers, I've never seen a KZbin video more relatable.

[@cameronleonard2451]

Bruh buckethead's reach is downright unfair

[@EXTREMEKIWI115]

Look at the size of his shoes!

[@Aldebaran04]

Humm, but where's Buckethead? The legend says that he needs to use a 28 inch scale guitar for it big ass fingers

[@TheRainmustFall7]

He's in a whole new level

[@VeryAp1cal]

you're not kidding. watching him play siege engine just hurts my hands

[@thenotflatearth2714]

I mean long videos are good fun, but this one is just a stretch Imma just leave... through the backdoor

[@Hikenights]

The Spherical Earth hahahahaha

[@zeknoss]

not so fast boy, we've got some business with ya (waving a baseball bat in the hand)

[@jbolo5378]

That's sooo bad it's good

[@QuikdethDeviantart]

That was totally reaching, dude

[@timothyallen3161]

I'm going to rewatch as my videos to get view back up. Welcome back Stevie

[@instinctbrosgaming9699]

7. OMG! I know, right. Extra: Cemetery Gates by Pantera. A part near the end of the solo is a stretch from the 14th to the 21st

[@samuelpardana]

14th to 20th is pretty easy to be honest

[@krumpinglarry61]

Yeah those are small frets. You must have tiny hands.

[@instinctbrosgaming9699]

I'm aware of that, but I can also play the Headcrusher stretch riff and Hot for Teacher riff after a while.

[@carlosescudero3161]

Actualy there is a fingerstyle version of bohemian rhapsody where you have to play a G chord that goes from 3E to 10e

[@lred1383]

Gotta throw it in the trash then. Wtf is that stretch? It's in thumb chord territory

[@d.7868]

I think Eddie Van Halen has gone even harder with the lick in "Ice Cream Man"

[@BalazsiSzabi]

The struggle is real? More like... "The Threat is Real". Haha :(

[@kingbaconvi2650]

I want to die, how do I unsee this 😂😂😂

[@seanpet8008]

More like the strech is real

[@keith1859]

No. PAIN. No. Gain. Its all in the way you strain. Dave Mustaine😕

[@tieukhavu8832]

This is also a Song by the Scorpions.

[@re-iu4je]

Dave MusPain

[@G-JS]

I have small hands and I play bass. "Holy Wars" is just impossible for me to play :(

[@themightymcb7310]

Gogandantess MS ellefson has a video of him playing the main riff on KZbin for Jackson. Might make it easier if you watch how he does it. Though he can do the peace sells pull off with his pinkie so...

[@aidanfriedfeld8889]

Same. I had to do it for a show and it was just too much. Although Jaco Pastorious has some shifts in teen town that make me wanna end it all.

[@Hell_Raven666]

I play bass too! can play that exact #LOG laid to rest outro on my 6 string bass! sometimes happiness can cause pain! haha!

[@LouisCentrella]

Lmao video is so true. I can barely stretch from the 3rd to 7th fret

[@Sclumsy]

I have big boy hands, but I’d love to have the skill that StevieT’s hands have...
