Zakk Wylde Says "Pick Every Note!" | Shred with Shifty Podcast

[@gearhead2017]

He's such an old school musician,he knows where he came from and doesn't forget

[@davidpenwell3432]

Do you ever forget where you came from? I don't know anyone who has forgotten where they came from.

[@honkyfish]

It feels so good to listen to 100% musicians that have grown up on stage. Cheers from “Honky Fish” Thanks Chris, hugs from Madrid (Spain)

[@kellybrincks]

The first Pride and Glory album is riffalicous

[@daveyboy8907]

Yep he should do another 1.

[@daveyboy8907]

Would have been nice if Jake E Lee was invited but Sharon wouldn't have that..We all know what happened to him the night before..Crazy

[@TheRealcdawg22]

I saw them on tour. They did their Pride and Glory set then came back out and played classic Black Sabbath for 2 hours. It was a food drive in OKC. It was very cool!

[@FriedEggsandJellyfish]

This was awesome. I've been a fan of Zakk since the 80's. Dude hasn't changed at all, such a genuine and wholesome man. It never gets old listening to his magical fills, stupid fast but also knows when to not go over the top but heavy and precise fast when it matters.

[@supersonicnomad8437]

I was lucky enough to meet Zakk. Coolest dude ever. Killer interview and lesson! \m/

[@michaelr.4878]

Zakk is a unique dude..but you will never find a more humble 'rock star'. He knows how good he is...but unlike the majority of stars, he has been able to keep both feet and his ego firmly planted on the ground. It is very refreshing. He wants to be 'just one of the guys'. I have always dug that about him.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I’ve always loved Zakk’s playing and his sense of humour, he’s just such a great dude and someone you’d absolutely love to hang out with (plus I share a birthday with him, so that’s also one reason why I like him)

[@ToddTheJoker]

This was great! I actually remember when Zakk got with Ozzy, and though I was a huge Randy and Jake fan, I instantly loved Zakk's playing! such a cool guy too

[@paullavallee1631]

I know exactly why Foo Fighters hired Shifty, hes just an all around good guy and a solid player, an asset to any band !

[@ScottManning7]

That was awesome! Zakk remains a fan of music and is down to earth but is also funny. A winning combo for good interviews!

[@jondonnelly]

Zakk gives the best interviews. He is always so open and honest. 🤘

[@JEEJ_MUSIC]

I don’t think an episode of SWS has ever deserved a “hell yeah brother” more than this

[@kevind3094]

In terms of Zakk's pick hand position: this is to allow him to alternate pick lines and not have his pick stuck between strings so that his transition from string to string is efficient. We all know its the crossing of strings that is difficult. Check out Troy Grady's excellent videos on this, particularly downward pick slanting/upstroke escape.

[@syfman6]

Zakk absolutely killed at the Hendrix show!! 💚🎸

[@domenicklococo4956]

He didn’t make it to Nashville so Kenny Wayne shepherd played both versions of voodoo child

[@oicsaywhat]

I saw Zakk the day before Ozzys first No More Tours Tour in 92 at the Miami arena which is no longer there , he play a clinic at a music store in North Miami called Ace Music. I was walking in to get strings and I hear Allman Brothers music and I look where it’s coming for and it’s Zakk wailing away and he even sang I was blown away on how versatile he was, he plaid it all and he was all smiles and having a blast. It’s a memory that I’ll never forget and of course the next night with Ozzy was awesome he was running all over the place and killing it! Thanks Chris for this been a huge fan of Zakk and definitely a big fan of yours.

[@Reptile8740]

Did I just see Elliot Easton for a second??? I'm super stoked for that. Great interview as always Chris! (:

[@genghiskhando5507]

Great player 👍🏼

[@RB-xg2vz]

Saw black label in Leeds 02 UK years ago - my ears are still ringing ❤

[@P51]

I saw ZAKK SABBATH and it was BY FAR the loudest concert I've seen. And fantastic.

[@kennyjohnson336]

That drinking game would be over during the first song 🤣 Zakk is a legend.

[@jamesnorton7601]

Zakk talking about Al DiMeola and picking every note changed the whole game for me. Many years ago in a Guitar World Magazine. Thanks Zakk, you are Oz's Lancelot. He's fought the most battles and won the most wars. Like it or not, Zakk Attack can play.

[@rareform6747]

All the parts are laying on the ground , then put it together LOL . Playing Dimes parts Wooo Huge !

[@HallqvistOfficial]

Love Zakk’s playing. First CD I ever bought was ”no rest for the wicked first LP was ”somewhere in time” both when they where fresh in the stores. Still listen to both alot!

[@nathanielpersohn600]

SHIFTY IS THE MAN!!! Great podcast!!!

[@stevoharp]

Speaking of Pantera I had the pleasure of meeting Dime and Phil behind Long Beach Arena after their gig with Slayer I think it was 2001 and I ended hanging out with them until about two in the morning drinking and having a blast I’ll never forget that night. RIP

[@wob42705]

Dime sounds like he was a really cool regular guy.

[@SkydiverJoeyBeth]

Hands down, best guitar show on KZbin!!!

[@terrywilliams6497]

AWESOME SHOW LOVE CHRIS & ZAKK

[@FURDOG1961]

For possibly the greatest pinch harmonic solo of all time, check out one of Zakk's main guitar player influences, the great Frank Marino. Frank Marino..."Johnny B. Goode" (California Jam 2) 1978

[@edgarkleinmann7386]

I love this song, one of my favorite riffs. Amazing and so rare to see it broken down in details

[@MarnibiOutThere]

It’s crazy to me how much Zakk Wylde sounds like himself in his kitchen playing a practice amp barely loud enough to hear over his strings.

[@DavidScott-hi4fz]

Great talk! What a humble dude. Man I thought Miracle Man was tuned waay down given how crazy Zakk's vibrato is but nope, just e flat. Incredible. Thanks for bringing up the role of the SD-1. People always look at the JCM 800 as some kind of holy grail without mentioning the role a distortion pedal plays ( or the ge-7!). Would be super cool to query people's amp and pedal settings in the next video. At the moment I've got my AC30 dialed to some settings I saw on Shifty's amp in a rig run down. Super geeky and fun to grab those settings at home.

[@dogdays7120]

Going to see Zakk Sabbath on Dec 28. Can't wait!

[@P51]

IT'S AWESOME

[@jimiplayscobo5877]

I was surprised to hear Zakk mention Frank Marino first as his guitar influences. Great interview!!

[@P51]

The BERZERKER never disappoints! What a SOLID dude

[@TheBonac]

This was a ton of fun --- Thanks for a great video!

[@mxazm]

Love Zakk, why didn’t you guys tell him his face is not in the frame entirely. We are just watching his beard:)))))😂

[@jasongraham4206]

Brian Setzer! Would love to see him on this show! Great job BTW

[@paulgrogan8032]

Am I the only one that ran up to my guitar room 3 times while watching this to try these tasty treats😅😂🤣

[@Addam1978]

Great episode as always!

[@murmles]

Love these types of things - pro players talking about stuff as guitar guys & gals. Sometimes I forget they started as fans, like us. Nice 👌

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Wow. Last time I saw zakk in London about 1991 he was a fresh faced young man. It's been a hard life by the look of it. Hope he has given everything up.

[@etrhythm]

Long live the heavy right hand...thanx Zakker

[@cainm8808]

Awesome been looking forward to this

[@golfrick007]

Brad's Gill Rock Ranch is a great album. Love Book of Shadows! I was lucky enough to see the Des Moines D. O. A. M. Tour when Ozzy bit the bat lol❤

[@scootersays]

Would it be possible to get Zakk to show the solo he did for We All Die Young from the Rockstar movie? That was another of his kick ass solos!!

[@W9TSB]

What a video! One of the best!

[@ACME_knockoffs]

Zakks viking guitar shapes are awesome looking!

[@Decalo8225]

great interview!

[@jfoust7945]

Awesome stories and great questions! Thanks for bringing those out of em for us! I've tried that drinking game before 😂, with beer cuz doin shots you'd be dead. Looking forward to Molly Tuttle, her version of the Rolling Stones "she's a rainbow" is freaking as gorgeous as the original! Her flat-picking is mind blowing and clean! ✌️

[@cherrytreepermaculture756]

My band toured with DamagePlan in 2004. At the end of the tour, I gave Dime my 71 Les Paul Recording, which he wanted to give Zakk for Christmas. Unfortunately Dime was killed before Christmas and never gave Zakk the guitar. Dime also wanted to give me a custom Dimebag guitar which also unfortunately never happened. It's been 20 years but I would love to know whatever happened to my old guitar.

[@ryanandrews5379]

Try and reach out to Dime’s right hand man Grady Champion - maybe he’ll be able to fill you in 🤘🏼

[@cherrytreepermaculture756]

@@ryanandrews5379 Sounds good, I'm trying.

[@LicksoftheLegend]

So one thing I’m curious about. Zakk said he used the jcm 800 and the boss sd1 but at the time was he not using a metaltronix amp and some sort of rack unit? Or was he just endorsed by those?

[@TheRealcdawg22]

I think he said it was what he used recording the song.

[@ComicsAreEscapism]

The wrist thing he's explaining is "slant picking". He essentially moves his wrist down and up instead of sideways.

[@tk75jo]

If Zackk shaves his beard no one would recognize him until he starts playing. "Who the hell is this new guy on stage tryin' to fill in for Zakk Wylde?!"

[@daveyboy8907]

Wrong the pinch harmonics give it away..

[@chickeastwater9883]

Hi Zakk , Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to the Family & the S.D.M.F ers. How I miss , concerts & especially a B.L.S. show

[@the_dank_shredder]

Damn, If Zakk doesnt know of any footage of Randy then there really must not be any. Imagine if we had a full show like speak of the devil but the diary tour? Zakk is the man and I put him right up there with Iommi and all of the other greats.

[@Burkhimself]

Chris should’ve asked him about the nasty 6 tuplet run at the end of the Crazy Babies solo…..🤯

[@byronwelch4754]

I love Zakk! 🤘🤘🎸🎸❤️❤️

[@chrisberrymanalo]

My God…. Thank you for asking about his pinch harmonics

[@RussInCanada]

Frank Marino-It's begun to rain, live from the Agora Theater. You're welcome.

[@axe-ologist]

Excellent

Zakk is da man

[@EverettVernon72]

Please get glenn tipton on here!

[@MustardTiger75]

Good job!

[@denmut]

Chris became a more technical player after these episodes.

[@FuzzImp]

My guitar teacher was also named Leroy

[@unifyhumanity360]

I likey Ms.Cleaver or Mrs.Cleaves or possibly Sir-Cleaver-son preferred when we are introduced 🤪. If there's a scratch and dent damaged by shipping to give a recently broke parent and 43y/o tradesman. This is 100% due to our agreement. We will give our caring,hard-working young adults the tools they need to further succeed in school and work and life goals they conquered. Now the extra scratch that I would use to squeal Mrs. Cleaver's pinch harmonics while screaming a through a Dimmed Friedmans knobbs I wish I twist. Merry Shifty X-Mass

[@kunkmiceter]

Love Zakk but I gotta say, GO BROWNS!!! 🤘

[@cruedevil71]

well this was the opposite of Schenker interview lol

[@ryanandrews5379]

Zakk is a bona fide guitar legend so great job on the interview, Chris! Definitely best episode of Shred with Shifty that’s been released IMO

[@MiracleMan9978]

Love this interview. Awesome content however you really dropped the ball. we’ve seen miracle man played Time and Time again. you had the opportunity to ask him to play any song. I would have chose time after time

[@traddfolks1975]

Lol you really dropped the ball when you named yourself Miracle Man 9978. You had the opportunity to make your handle Mr. Time After Time 6969.

[@MiracleMan9978]

@ honestly i forgot I did that. I love the song. Just saying I would have preferred an all new experience

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

Another brilliant episode😃 keep it up shifty

[@mikehoehn1475]

Ultex...drop em on the floor and ya cant find em. Drives me nuts

[@drewolm]

Tell you what, dude has a CLEAN kitchen. Doesn’t look like they use it at all expect to play a little guitar.

[@Ca_milo_G]

1:14

[@guitarz]

Love me sum Zack

[@seanmiller7889]

🔥

[@sinnertrain7405]

No, you need some legato too!

[@dirtcreature1]

Bad ass

[@daveyboy8907]

Are you sure he didn't say pinch the note?

[@Verfin_Dima]

🤘🎸❤

[@KangKadmus]

Legato is what makes you a pimp tho

[@jasonlee8497]

No thanks Zakk...YOU pick every nose.....

[@MrDevins]

It’s spelled pinch not pick

[@demonspoo]

Jelly Roll WTF LMAO

[@kengyang1908]

There's only one New Jersey cool viking shredder,, that's because he doesn't bring up Jersey in every conversation alright alright alright alright

[@pteeng1]

And...erm....you know what I mean?

[@volume8]

zakk must have been exhausted. this is the least "out there" i've ever seen him.

[@MOOSELAX55]

Would love to have someone’s help with this - from a few things I’ve read, Zakk HATES Rush. When Shifty mentioned Subdivisions I wasn’t shocked that Zakk just had a “meh” reaction (yes I know he said he loves the album). I assume he hates Rush cause it’s prog? Because Alex Lifeson is an outstanding player, I’m surprised Zakk never talks about him Just rambling!

[@WItowsky]

Zakk loves rush. Where did you get the idea that he doesn't? Genuinely asking

[@TheRealcdawg22]

RUSH!

[@marvelharris9540]

great interview !
