The Sound And The Story - "You Waste Your Time" Solo Lesson - TREMONTI

[@MichaelHubrichLost]

I appreciate they way he lays this out. Explaining the modes so not only am I learning this specific solo, I understand the building blocks used to put it together.

[@naradloff]

That guitar is SICK.

[@texasmusicfan03]

Very through and very well taught, simply because he used the correct terms and techniques and honestly I think this is one of the best lesson videos on KZbin. Much respect for this man simply because he is taking time to sit down and get lessons over his songs to play them PROPERLY, many artists don't even have that kind of appreciation for their fans.

[@gkniffen]

I have a feeling Mark Tremonti's closet is jam packed full of black t-shirts.

[@LillyUnderwood-od2sc]

I only wear black clothes too!

[@joshmcd5]

Mark is tastefully one of the hardest working guitarists of my generation. Keep melting faces!

[@1981SG]

Great lesson! Would love a full tutorial of Mark's solo albums :D

[@MrRobertperry]

He is a great musician his rhythms in his solo career have been done his lead work is incredibly different that is his signature I listen for the leads very influential

[@dcaudio1]

I just really love Marks approach to everything he does. He has such a humble outlook on everything. He works hard on his playing and the results show it. I want one of these guitars so freaking bad.... S

[@armadyllah]

His guitar tone is fucking amazing.

[@eddieweimer]

Love hearing some of Mark's reasoning and logic behind his playing. Inspirational.

[@chefrider9694]

is that dimebag picture on his guitar?? WOW hahahahaha

[@armymdc4]

Someone mentioned the hardest working guitarist in Rock. That is an understatement. This cd is unbelieveable. Keeping Creed fans happy and of course Alter Bridge fans know they are in the loop. One of these times around, I will get to meet you. You are def an inspiration and kicka** guitar player. Joe TN.

[@LiberatorOfAmerica]

Even though I don't play guitar, I love watching these videos from Mark.

[@reyreyrey335]

Yes please!!! another instructional dvd, solos from AB3 album and more story on Mark, we all know there is much more to tell :)

[@kanesevenfoot]

Tremonti is my inspiration if I hadn't kno him I would've not played guitar This guy is awesome and I have his favorite brand of pedals lol tremonti will always be my inspiration

[@Redranger770]

I absolutely love that song. I'm such a huge fan

[@tonebeatz24]

Tremonti is still old skool that plays with cable wires still. Only him still uses cables. Tremonti luvs using cables and won't go wireless cause he luvs to keep it old skool. Thats what I luv about him. The man is a Guitar Genius.

[@alabalanutnbolt]

mark tremonti could catch bullets with a pair of chopsticks.fingers and reaction times like an immortal.. smoke on the water made me realise i was friggin useless

[@TobyKBTY]

Good guy Tremonti. Shows how to play his awesome solos!

[@RobKingRC]

Awesome Mark. come back to Michigan and lets shred Brother...

[@constancempls]

MT is an amazing talent for sure. I love his solo album. My 16 year old nephew is an aspiring guitar player...I am in awe of his talent. I told him to learn this...so he can play it for me. ;D

[@stephaniewilson4065]

Thanks for the lesson Mark! Awesome job on the song!

[@listenbro26]

Okay thanks! I'm so excited!!!

[@bretwomack]

This is GREAT! Seeing your other guitar sitting there, I hope to see some more video lessons of the lower-tuned stuff!

[@Civey100]

Thanks! He’s such an inspiration for us beginners!

[@CubeJockeysChannel]

I am not sure but if I had to guess, I'd say that he is doing a meet and greet at all of the shows. They only play the full cd and that's it so that's probably what gives them the time for the greet. You just have to buy some merch to get in line. I already had the cd in my car so I just brought that in (sorry Mark!) It's really cool since they are willing to actually talk to you and not just pass you through the line as fast as possible. They're all true gentlemen!

[@Portalofsanity]

Great lesson, thanks. ;-)

[@CubeJockeysChannel]

Get this! I caught the Tremonti show last night in Rhode Island and the band did a "meet & greet" afterwards. I apologized to Mark for owning one of his guitars and being so terrible. He laughed and told me to just keep practicing. I then told him I could play the shit out of Smoke on the Water. Killer show though!

[@claytonbarber7364]

Heavy AF. And I Love it.

[@matt3380]

definitely love the dime sticker next to his bridge!

[@frankbroadhurst2171]

Hittin' licks with Mark Tremonti

[@patrickolivier1]

ya man!

[@MrYimiguitar]

i have learnt this solo! thanks mark!

[@jakeyyboy100]

Dimebag sticker at the bridge. Even more respect for Tremonti :)

[@xakrampayge]

Why doesn't everybody do this? oh wait nobody is as badass as Mark!

[@Mkjackary]

most licks in this solo are simple, but when sped up sound good, like the fast 2 note per string lick is super simple but sped up sounds freakin awesome

[@jCowboy936]

Thanks Mark!

[@jayc226]

Awesome!!!

[@PDoodek]

ideal song tittle to this whole lesson ;)

[@keithsa41]

pretty amazing ARTIST!

[@megadeaf3061]

amazing,also that amp sound so great

[@wineforall]

I got blisters on me fingers!!

[@giancarlossantana2931]

That guitar is insane...¨

[@Telecaster-uz9pu]

I love PRS guitars man, just effortless playability

[@MonsterChannelHD]

Love to see this ;D

[@abyssesgrind]

that's a cool piece

[@EddieB2047]

So bad ass!

[@BipolarMoon]

Good teacher, teaching a song section by section. I don't recognize the song when it's slower and broken up. Didn't know Tremonti played slow. He's like the guy from Dethklok. What If is my favorite Creed song.

[@Douglas-si8gh]

Badass!

[@HellRazor1281]

yeah according to Mark in the solo breakdown the only harmonics are the natural harmonics ending the solo and leading to the final chorus. However the way he moves down that A string towards the end in the performance part, especially on the bend, it does sound like there are a couple of PHs there.

[@MaddoxMallardgolf]

I thought I was playing this solo perfect... but then I realized I was just watching

[@OrthodoxChristianBeliever]

same here, it makes it easier to know what he's playing, especially sense I am just learning lead

[@R.Nashoba]

I want that Two Rock!

[@slikkarl]

Is that a Pic of Dimebag? Mark just keep's getting cooler and cooler!

[@Rhamsody]

I love how he called out the names of the scale shapes.

[@mastoner20]

Sure seems recorded like a new one! With the song intros, the way it's recorded here, and the overall feel of the record! It would be ripe for it, for sure!

[@Rederick]

Ok now im going to practice this...

[@Casey_J96]

do i hear another instructional dvd coming? Awesome!

[@Samzee89]

Gotta do one of these for New Way Out!

[@sev00177]

On Mark's DVD you see him in a blue Morley shirt. Seeing him wear blue was such a shock and didn't look right.

[@aatreybhatt1999]

OMG I just realized that my approach to music is quite similar to Mark Tremonti, he's my favorite guitarist of all time so I guess that affects it

[@colindecoy9278]

Thank you for a fabulous lesson video! Mixolydian to Lydian.... that's some Satriani stuff right there! Has he ever been any inspiration? Just curious... would LOVE a G3 with Satriani, Vai, and Tremonti!

[@p_1210]

He's still playing natural minor it's just those 2 mode shapes! He's not actually playing Mixolydian or Lydian as they would have a completely different sound!

[@MIKETHEGUITARPRO]

nice!!!!

[@jongoodhue]

My head just exploded.

[@CubeJockeysChannel]

Gdamn! That was funny!

[@giancarlossantana2931]

Love u Dude...‘

[@armadyllah]

3:27 "So.. Slowly..." Now I get it. It is difficult for him to play slowly rather then shredding the shit out of the guitar.

[@grantleysnipes1]

Guitar God.

[@Chaoutzu]

Lol, look at how indented his frets are below the 'a' string.. this guy is amazing..

[@veralir1016]

Cool thanks

[@shadowfromsparksnv3253]

Say can you by chance also teach the "so you're afraid" solo? I'm having a hard time learning it

[@stevewade2535]

I just want to know where I can find a video of this live performance in full!!!

[@RG049]

Just search You Waste Your Time and you can find it

[@georgetheguitarist97]

I'd like to think so, but remember at the end of the instructional DVD (The Sound And The Story) the back of the booklet says: "The story continues at Fret 12", so it's probably just a segment.

[@sbiegs3885]

I thought he said, "slowly."

[@MrApocalisse]

if you slow down the last fast descending lick using the youtube function it sounds a little different to the way he slows it down... lol

[@AlexHaddonOfficial]

Sweet :)

[@kylebeyers3941]

Is it normal for your fretting hand to feel kinda unstable at the bottom strings?

[@Alexander1208]

¨and thats the you waste your time solo¨ yeah because it too damn hard to learn it and ill be wasting my time trying!! hahahah

[@dylanbradleyofficial]

2:40 thats so phil x but its great :)

[@kunkushun1]

Wether u like Creed or not u have to admitt MARK is a nasty good player, creative.

[@johnhart79]

AMEN AIDYSHER! TREMONTI AND KIRK HAMMETT ARE MY FAVORITE 2 THEN, TIM MAHONEY

[@listenbro26]

Hey man I'm seeing them on friday. Did they do the meet and greets for everyone in attendance? and do you know if it's at all the shows?

[@MeAndersen]

Exactly :)

[@CubeJockeysChannel]

Even with as long as I have been playing guitar, I would never be able to play a fraction of this :-( and I still own a PRS Tremonti :-) but it wishes someone that could play had bought it :-(

[@infraceptor4749]

>I love the sound of electric guitar

[@UKRockCovers]

The new model has his name on the headstock, and it's removable.

[@MeAndersen]

Feel the same way, i have one to.

[@VinceAnity]

What ?!? YOUR BASS PLAYER, YOUR DOG, YOUR GUITAR YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, YOU'RE GREAT, YOU'RE this or that... And I'm French ! Not born english speaker

[@BipolarMoon]

To this day, I don't have a favorite AB album. I'm was leaning towards Blackbird then AB3 was released. The first song I heard was "Open your Eyes" and One Day Remains was a great first album. What If and Human Clay are my favorite Creed songs. I like Full Circle over My Own Prison (was a bit one dimensional in comparison, One is my favorite on that album).

[@GordoDustin]

A great guitarist...but damn Tremonti can you do a solo without the wah pedal every now and then?

[@TheNewSovs]

Can someone explain to me something: at 0:29 mark sounds like every note hes playing hes using a pinch harmonic, is he actually using a pinch? or is it just a specific pedal, or just the freaking quality of PRS guitars thats giving it that twangy hard sound?

[@HARDCOREFUCKINREIGNS]

doesnt matter tremonti. i could learn all your solos. I'm still shit. make me as good as you

[@samrixxy5744]

Does anybody know the tempo that mark plays the 2 note per string lick at

[@MrHapaProductions]

Man...that prs looks like it needs new frets. Great lesson!

[@metallicelmo]

He has his own name on the fretboard :) cool

[@avaldenegromusic]

look at the begining of subts... the song is called wintertime

[@Mesaboogiedualrec]

I want that amp......two rock custom reverb signature......

[@mesabog2]

Does he have his modes wrong? It looks like the first part of the run at 5:10 is aeolian and the next part is mixolydian?

[@npd23]

What about the rest of the tune?

[@johnhart79]

I RATHER HEAR THE DEEPER VOCALS LIKE THIS, W/ THE BACK GROUND HARMONIZING W/ HIGHERS VOCALS, THEN THE OTHER WAY AROUND, HIGH PITCH VOCALS AS THE LEAD. I LOVE ALTER BRIDGE MORE THAN CREED, AND YES EVERY BAND IS DIFFERENT IN THEIR OWN WAYS, BUT IN MY 'OPINION'.... THIS RUNS BETTER. WHEN YOU HAVE A HIGHER SOUNDING SINGER AS LEAD, IT TENDS TO GET WINY AT TIMES AND CRYING AND ROCK SHOULD BE LEFT FOR G N R TO DO. MARK YOU ROCK!! DON'T EVER PUT THE 6 STRING DOWN !!.
