Long time, part time guitar teacher. Extreme Tribute band (temporarily on hiatus). Just trying to bring a little joy and knowledge to others by sharing some guitar-related content.
My guitar collection Episode 1: Washburn N4 CV
While I'm on hold to get my new studio up and running. Thought I'd share a few stories about my guitars as some people have asked about them. Plus UA-cam is yelling at me to put out content. lol
To hear the N4 CV check out my "Poison, Ride the Wind" video lesson linked at the end of the video.

Crossroads Steve Vai Blues Intro
Переглядів 1839 місяців тому
Always loved the intro jam to the Crossroads Guitar duel. Here's my crack at it. I'm thinking I should learn some the other parts to the blues jam some time. Also, decided to try micing up the guitar today instead of going digital. Hope this sounds ok. Running through the Randall NB King and Boss GT8
The Phil X " Liquid Climbing" lick

I wasn't going to post this one but what the heck, it's the holidays! Saw Phil play this and boggle Rick Beato (and many others) minds. Haha. Here's a breakdown of how to play it. Enjoy and thanks for your support this year!

Now dig this! I love this song's groove and the soulful, bluesy solo. Very underrated song by an underrated band. For this video I'm using my custom Kiesel Rainbow Sparkle through the DV Mark Multiamp. Been way too busy with work, but had a hot minute today. Hopefully things will come down enough for more content coming in 2024. Hope you enjoy!

Had fun doing that last Paul Davids jam. Here's another run through of a solo idea from when he released this track a year or so ago.
Poison "Ride the Wind" Solo Breakdown

Time for another solo breakdown boys and girls. Here was a request for Poison's "Ride the Wind". Has CC gotten too bad a wrap over the years? I think so. (Including from myself once upon a time). But I gotta give it to him, dude wrote some flat out fun songs! Here's a case in point. Enjoy! LMK if you want to see a play through of this tune.
Extreme "Rest In Peace" Live Outro solo concept

Fulfilling a request to talk about this Rest in Peace lick from the Live version that Nuno does. Since it's often a semi-improved run, I decided to just present the concept. Hope it helps!
Extreme at Wembley Stadium "Another One Bites the Dust" Guitar intro
Переглядів 310Рік тому
Fulfilling a request to show the opening lick for this tune performed by Extreme at their Legendary Wembley concert in Tribute to Freddie Mercury. Don't forget to play it with that Nuno swagger and timing! Excuse the poor lighting and camera audio. It's just a quickie. Here's the lick from the show: ua-cam.com/video/_NvnfXJK0Uw/v-deo.html
Extreme "Here's to the Losers" Performance cover

Extreme's answer to Queen's "We are the Champions" is brilliant IMHO. Growing up a NE sports fan since childhood was rough in some areas before things got quite a bit better, but I'm sure we can all relate to coming in second! Watch until the end! Just having fun as usual (Even though I'm reliving nightmares). lol Enjoy! #Bleed Green #Go Pats #Red Sox Nation #LFG

Finally had a little time so fulfilling a request to show how to play Nuno's intro to More than Words at this legendary concert. Think Triads and Extensions here. Hope it helps "More than" one. Enjoy!
Paul Davids Am Solo 2023

I’d like to thank @pauldavids for not inviting me to partake in the 2023 Solo. Too many great ones on it! 😂 This was a fun track to play too. Tried a few different ideas, but I just liked the vibe on this take. Gear used: My custom Kiesel GH3 Greg Howe straight into Neural DSP Plini Plug-in.

Run through of Extreme's "The Mask" off their new album "Six" Am I taking this one too literally? ;) As usual, just having fun! New album is a joy to listen to! Pick it up if you haven't already! @Extreme_Band Enjoy! IG: the_a_miller PS: No masks were harmed in the making of this video. P.P.S: I am an unpaid promoter! lol

Had to do a cover of this "epically" beautiful song. Fun fact: After testing, I've determined It is impossible to not sing at least some of the chorus of this tune. @Extreme_Band new album drops June 9th. Be sure to pick it up! Enjoy! IG: the_a_miller

In honor of Extreme's #Rebel hitting 1 Million views, here's my performance cover. Congrats to those guys, they are absolutely killing it and I'm so happy to see them getting the love they deserve. Tricky song! Had to do a few more takes than normal on this one. About blew out my knee like Nuno. No joke! Bonus points to anyone who knows what the deal is with my shirt and can comment. lol LMK if...

Wish you brought this to vai academy! Though I would have fallen in love 😂 amazing guitar man
I was too scared to bring that one! lol
Great cover, I wish I had at least one of those N4....
Highly recommend if you're ever able to. Look for used ones. Sometimes can get an ok deal. 👍
Dude that is awesome, I saw Nuno play his in London and it had a different attack... Killer. If you ever wanna sell it Dude.. You got my number. Thank you kindly for the N4 content. 😅
That's cool! But you'll have to get in line with the others that have asked about selling it. Haha
@@the_a_miller HA... Im sure... Tbh I have all the N4s I could ever use.. I look forward to the next installment. Best wishes
Wow!
👍🤟
I wouldn’t trust that Olly guy if I were you Abbot. 😕
🤣 Fair point!
I LOVE this guitar...
Same 😀
@@the_a_miller Nuno used it for the Pornograffiti 25th anniversary tour, at least he used it when I saw the concert in Madrid in 2014
@@sebarasco That’s pretty cool, because I don’t think he kept it for very long before selling it.
@@the_a_miller There are many videos on UA-cam from that time where Nuno uses that guitar, 2014-2015, but then the 4N arrived
Great video and playing
🙏🤟
That’s my Buffalo Bills anthem Here’s to the losers…
I don't think this is going to be their year either my friend. 🙃
im interested in lessons. im in Raleigh NC
Hey Patrick, Hit me up on IG: the_a_miller or send me an email: ptssl@icloud.com and we'll see if we can hook up, thanks!
awesome
🙏🏻🤘
Jesus christ that was a thousand yard dead center cover! Holy shit!
Much thanks 🙏🏻 🤘
Epic bro! I kinda hate you lol
I accept this kind of hate with gratitude and love. 😂
From tone to technicque absolutely nailed it, how did you get your hands on those nuno amps and for how much?
Thanks, I bought these back in maybe 2009 when they were still being sold through Musicians Friend. Bit what you’re hearing is me playing through the DV Mark Multiamp on this one. 👍
Nice job. You could be my cousin's twin. Identical!
Thanks! And tell your cousin he must be one sexy beast! 🤣
Impecable 🎉
🙏
So good!
🙏🏻
Very nice!!!! I hope to be as good as you someday!!!
Aww, very kind, thanks! You’ll get there because you have the drive and the passion. 👍🤘We can always trade a guitar lesson for a Canva lesson 😂
Perfecto!
JUST P E R F E C T :)
🙏🤘
😁👍
😁👍
😁👍
👍 what's that smoke ?👉 and that massive big pedal board there 👉
That's a humidifier and the pedalboard is basically a copy of Nuno's board. Boss GT8 and a few pedals. 👍
did they are drugs user ?👉 they looks so old now 😢, what about next 10 years ..
I'm so jealous of the look and talent. ....teaches us how to play the sickest guitar solo in years while answering that age old question....what would it look like if a rockNroll super soldier of shred was created by taking jerry seinfeld and splicing his dna with that of nuno and steve vai
😂 Hey I’ve been told I could be the Love child of Nuno and Warren DeMartini so I guess you’re not too far off base here. lol
Nuno V.2 😁
😁 Can't wait to relaunch my Extreme Tribute band. But there can be only 1. 🤘
Great performance! Can you share the tabs dear?
Dear?😁 I never made tabs for it but maybe will do a 2 part lesson video at some point.
Superb job that was spot on! You’ve inspired me to give up the guitar.
😂 Nooo! Pick it up and play more Julian. This is the way!
@@the_a_miller Absolutely! Seriously though, that’s an inspiring video. I’m going to see if I can persuade my fingers to release their inner Nuno.
@@julianbarlow6408 Good deal! Do it! I'm here to help if I can. #LFG
@@the_a_miller fantastic, thank you. I’ve only just listened to the full Six album and in my opinion this is the best solo on there.
@@julianbarlow6408 A good choice for sure!
Hello. I want to see the TAB and explanation video of #rebel's solo part. Many people have posted it on UA-cam, but I think your copy is perfect. Thank you.
Thanks Hiro, if/when I get some time I'll definitely consider doing one. Have to relearn it at this point of course! 😐😅
very cool! Thanks
🤘
Great video! I see you have quite the collection of N4's. I'm a drummer who loves to play guitar, but I can't justify paying top dollar for the best N4. Could you recommend one of the cheaper ones? I see there are a lot of versions. I do want to get a good one, but just not for $3K. Thanks.
Thanks Gary! The N4s are priced what they are. If you're looking for a model, you can always search out a used one. The Washburn N4 Facebook group has some deals from time to time a little cheaper than Reverb/ebay. The Swamp Ash model I believe is the cheapest of the N4 models. It has a slightly brighter tone. If you're talking about the other model Nuno guitars, it's a toss up between the N24 and the N2. The N24 is the closest to the N4 but a step down. N2 is still decent for the money with a little thicker neck profile. Avoid the N1 altogether. Hope that helps!
How many guitars ❤. Black Guitar Is the same model of nino 's Guitar... Nuce
That’s an awesome lick. Phil X is a monster player. Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays
You got it, Happy Holidays!
Awesome as usual, keep rocking!!!
Thanks for “digging this” Hayden! 😅
Great track, fantastic cover 🤘🏼
Thanks Richard, glad you “dig this”. 😂
@@the_a_miller "I Dig This"! 🤣🤘🏼
Absolutely loved everything about this! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! 🙏🙌
You are channeling Nunos energy! You are awesome!
Thank you kindly! 🙏
I want the Washburn so bad!!! Great video❤
Thanks! That is the Washburn N4CV model. Only 6 were made I believe!
You are absolutely killing it!!!! Like DUDE🔥🔥🔥 I’m subbed❤
I'm very glad you're enjoying the vids! Thanks Emily!!!
Great job. One of the best on the album ❤
Thanks Darren! Lots of good ones to choose from on that album! 😁
Only A miller could pull this off !!!!!...Sweet....peace Mike
Thanks Mike! Appreciate it! 🙏🤟
strings 09 or 0,10?
I think these are 9-46 hybrid slinkys (if not, 9s. Only have 1 guitar with 10s)
Superb, you are killing these covers. 🔥🔥🔥.
Thanks Brian, appreciate it!
What an honor
Very humbling experience 👍
Hope Nuno can see this. 🎇🤟
Thanks Maurizio! Appreciate that! 🤘
❤
Amazing! thank you!
No, thank you! :)
@@the_a_miller Keep having fun bro! That room is amazing! How do you compare Nuno's amps to the marshalls he seems to be using?
@@ralos5930Sorry, I just saw this. I have both amps. They are similar in ways. You have to adjust some settings to achieve a similar sound at levels but tonally you can get close. The Nuno amp is kinda. Made to have a Rat pedal sound in front of it. if you run a Rat pedal on Both you’re in the ballpark. Unfortunately I keep the Marshall at my band buddies house so I haven’t been able to A/B in a long time. But aside from some EQ type differences it’s in the ballpark. I’m referring to the dirty channels here. More differences with the clean channel and that’s to taste. Also, I kinda dislike the boost channel on the Nuno amp. Gets a bit harsh sounding. Marshall does not.
Yes! Hey. Get me something cool from Europe or Stryper. Whatever you find interesting.
Ugh, sorry to say but Europe and Stryper might be 2 of the least interesting bands of that era for me. But ya never know! 😁
@@the_a_miller 😂😂😂 thanks anyways cause I enjoy every video
Awesome job sir! That riff has such a bounce to it doesn't it.
Thanks so much! Yes, it's hard to not get your groove on when either playing or listening to it! lol
Wow, nicely done! You always make everything look so easy. I gotta go back to the woodshed. The greatest American Guitar Player!!!!!!!!!!
Ha! Good one Lou! 😂 Now go get it. 💪🏻
Cool shirt dude !!! I have been watching that show on peacock…. My favorite Poison solo very melodic 👍👍👍
My favorite show growing up! I have to binge watch that again. Been too long! And yes, very melodic solo. Perhaps his most mature solo if you will.
