"Well, uuuh, we're just using the A minor pentatonic. You know, like.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes* ... "Yeah, that's it, like.... *plays super fast for 5 minutes*, "Yeah so.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes*.. That's it!
I love Zakk's teaching style. "Here uh...these are the scale patterns we're gonna use. See you just fuckin....uh play a note here and...you know what fuck it. Just watch me shred for the next 8 minutes."
Its hard to explain but sometimes sitting across from someone and just trying to mimic stuff and have them slow down the odd part etc., it actually ends up being very beneficial. It will take you to a different level of playing/hearing/following
For those who didn't saw / heard the lesson: - If you aren't familiar with classical guitar technique, it's time to learn the basics - If you don't understand scales or their extended use, learn those until you can dream all the notes - If you don't like or can't play the blues, try your best to either play it and or like it. And if you're redheaded, you might find out that you do have a soul or maybe you don't, not my place to tell :-D - If you like to execute this one day with a banjo, you don't have to buy one just yet - If you like speed, use a metronome, start slow and increase the tempo when you can play the click away - If you like this certain acoustic style of shred: combine all the concepts and brew you're own thing based on the guidelines given in this video. * Don't forget to really, really, really love pentatonic scales. Also in my opinion,it has more character with reduced speed. Anyways, thanks very much! :D
Stop complaining that he didn't hold you hand through the Lesson. If you aren't able to watch his fingers and use your ears to figure out what he did, then sorry but you are not a seasoned enough player to play what he's demonstrating in the first place
quick reminder, most of those guys learned licks from audio tapes, Man up, if you can't learn anything from this video, this is just because it's out of your reach, practice and come back, if you just came to learn some BS lick to impress idiots, you have no right to complain.
lf you are to the point where you can play this, you should be able to see/hear what he is playing without him having to break down every single note for you. So you complaining shows that you wouldn't be able to play what he's playing anyway.
Colton Bowling I second that. I chicken pick myself and he did say "Amin pentatonic." So, I was tracking the whole time. However, his note skipping while chicken pickin is way better than mine (for now.) So, that's some crazy stuff to do so quickly. Damn, all those years and daily hours equal to this... Good goal to reach for.
+Pauloemariana Mendonca this is not a monster but a man with hangover who plays the same shit for years and everybody like this beacouse he is Zakk but this is nothing more then A7 for 7 minutes.Bullsh..
Amazing teacher! I learned chicken picking in 7:17 min. YOU can save time though by skipping to 4:39, watch the lick and hear the words "basically I was using every note we can". Sums up this 'lesson' nicely!
"OK class, grow a long ass thumbnail, always pick everything at warp speed, ignore playing anything enjoyable or musical in anyway, stop shaving or looking like you shower, mumble a lot. If you do all those things one day you too will be like me." Zakk Wylde 2016 Guitar world, LESSON?
+David McGarrity That seems to be a trap many great guitar (and other instruments, I suppose) players fall into. In order to keep challenging themselves, they up the speed and complexity to the point of generating what comes across as little more than mindless noise. It might be fun to play, but that doesn't necessarily make it interesting to listen to.
I love him but lemme just make an impression. *”hey guys this is Zakk Wylde heeeeya and uh today we will be-...* * *burps* * *fuck-...anyways uhh we will be doing A Minor *(starts playing over himself while talking and comes back to reality after 5 minutes of playing and realizing that the cameras are rolling.)* *”WELL UHH.....yeah so..chromatics and passing tones...”*
Yeah just call up Tony Montana and have him fill your bathtub with Columbia's finest, hold your breath for 30 seconds minimum, then dive in head first. When you emerge, you'll be at Zakk Wylde speed! 😆 definitely not even close to his level of ability but you'll at least be able to comprehend 800 bpm
So yeah we're just gonna Sweep picks for almost 2 minutes And then we're just gonna Continues to solo for another long time Also you can Continues picking so quickly the camera blurs You also have Chicken picks super fast for another minute Talks for less than 15 seconds about riffs You can do it like Solos really fast again So yeah hope that helped thanks for having me Best guitar lesson 💯
Guy who are criticzing the fact that this not a lesson ...: Rock/Blues Guitar is based on watching and reproducing... this is how great guitarist did in their early days ... so just and figure it out !, presuming you already head about pentatonic scales, this is not to hard ... and if Zakk's playong is to fast, just use any video player that allows you to slow down the video ! ... Nowadays there is so many Tools to learn guitars .... and don't forget, practicing is the key ...not spending time watching videos on youtube !!! Good luck.
i get everyone here, I'm in the same boat but we can't forget that most of that stuff he learned just watching people play these licks trying to copy them for hours on end. so guys pull yourself together and put in the effort. we got youtube we can even slow down the video but without rewinding a thousand times you won't learn it...
So pick a key then use pentatonic scales then ignore scale and play chromatic with emphasis on the key root note. Use finger picking with a pick. Mutes strings
is this a joke? Basically play ever note you can in a jumble using a chicken pickin technique and the slide up to the root chord at the end to make it make some sort of sense.
He looks like Jerry's uncle in the episode of Tom n Jerry. Always breaking a string and pulling Tom's whiskers out. Zakk is a fantastic axe slinger, but he's become a cliche'
The cold hard truth is you shouldn't be watching a video on chicken picking if you don't know which type of scale you're planning to flow it with. He started out with the foundation of an A Major Pentatonic, and simply showed you can create personal connectors to those foundations to create scales of known types, blues/jazz etc..learn a bunch, they're fun!
You have to hear it first, guys. The beauty of music is its infinite possibilities. My philosophy has always been you have to learn the rules before you break them. Enough with the armchair critiques and post your own enlightening lectures on music theory and the meaning of the universe (which is a sine wave by the way 🙃). I mean, this shit is free! The lesson is chromatics at a blistering speed.
Im always dissapointed when i watch zakks video doing a solo. I dont know for some reasons i always feel theres something lacking in his playing that eventhough his very technically knowledgeable i still cant enjoy his playing. Im really puzzled whats lacking
Just like a auctioneer has fill ins between words, but guitar fill ins are a direction of feeling and movement of attitude and life.God bless you Zack. Flamenco guitarists are filling their straw built depends. Rock on boss man
This is exactly how it goes when someone I know can play guitar tries to teach me. Mention some scales and buzzwords and then shreds beyond my mental capacity. Lmao!! 🤣
One way to get the chromatic sound or rather the bluesy picking scale is to mix the minor and major scales. Or anytime you have a whole step in your pentatonic shape put a passing tone So basically you have to know where the pentatonic shapes are in C major and where they are in C minor. Then mix them together to your taste. Some things he did were using a pedal tone- so keeping on note on the high e string then walking down a chromatic line on the G string.
Welcome to a new instructional video "How to make the acoustic Guitar sound like Shit exatly the same way I do using the electric one, which also ended up with Ozzy kicking me out of his Band", with the Special guest Zakk Wylde. But don't get sad, in the following episode Mr.Wylde will pick up his "bullshit" designed guitar to show us "How to Play the same solo for almost 20 years and still pass the image of a creative musician."
too much hate brother it's alright no need to get so aggressive take a deep breath and smile we got the point he is repetitive and not very creative although i have to say that some of his songs are really good
This is the equivalent of a math teacher saying
"Okay class! 2 + 2 = 4"
"Okay using that, now calculate the mass of the sun"
dead lol
😂😂
+Tyler Marcel If you want to know he's picking technique and see more specifics just watch his pentatonic hardcore video...
haha
yeah his tutorials suck most of the time. His old Instructional video covers bending pretty well though.
"Well, uuuh, we're just using the A minor pentatonic. You know, like.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes* ... "Yeah, that's it, like.... *plays super fast for 5 minutes*, "Yeah so.. *plays super fast for 5 minutes*.. That's it!
Trafalgar hahahhaah
😂
Exactly!
Dont be a hater
You forgot to add once again
seriously, he gives yngwie a run for his money for title of worst guitar instructor ever
Best comment!
Holy fuck. I didn't learn a god damn thing but I don't think I really give a shit either.
I love Zakk's teaching style.
"Here uh...these are the scale patterns we're gonna use. See you just fuckin....uh play a note here and...you know what fuck it. Just watch me shred for the next 8 minutes."
One of the great things about Zakk is... he can teach you some guitar, then help you put your transmission back together all in one afternoon.
+Mud Wiser lol
He helped you put your transmission back together?
and sell you some of that sweet powder.
LMAO I believe that 😂
LMAO I believe that 😂
When I saw the beginning of this I had to check I wasn't running the video at 2x speed
so... when does the lesson start?
I was wondering
It's a "lesson" because Black Zack just schooled y'all. Sarcasm.
Haha best comment. So many haters on here
How on earth was that a lesson?
yeah :'D
Its hard to explain but sometimes sitting across from someone and just trying to mimic stuff and have them slow down the odd part etc., it actually ends up being very beneficial. It will take you to a different level of playing/hearing/following
+CaribSurfKing1 pro players really don't need to have things slowed down :) it is not for beginners, dude
it was not...
Well done to anyone who managed to learn anything useful from this video. Great player but man he can't stop himself.
For those who didn't saw / heard the lesson:
- If you aren't familiar with classical guitar technique, it's time to learn the basics
- If you don't understand scales or their extended use, learn those until you can dream all the notes
- If you don't like or can't play the blues, try your best to either play it and or like it. And if you're redheaded, you might find out that you do have a soul or maybe you don't, not my place to tell :-D
- If you like to execute this one day with a banjo, you don't have to buy one just yet
- If you like speed, use a metronome, start slow and increase the tempo when you can play the click away
- If you like this certain acoustic style of shred: combine all the concepts and brew you're own thing based on the guidelines given in this video.
* Don't forget to really, really, really love pentatonic scales.
Also in my opinion,it has more character with reduced speed. Anyways, thanks very much! :D
ultrafloss492 Best advice ever mate :)
Redheaded comment !
Several lifetimes. That’s how many it would take me to achieve this level of mastery.
the lesson starts at 5:55 and finish 6:14
2:21 he played so fast the camera blurred. Zakk is the 🐐
Stop complaining that he didn't hold you hand through the Lesson. If you aren't able to watch his fingers and use your ears to figure out what he did, then sorry but you are not a seasoned enough player to play what he's demonstrating in the first place
if you can play what he's playing why the hell would you watch the video? XD
Zakk on acoustic is just crazy. BLS acoustic songs like T.AZ. and Speedball are probably my favorites of all time.
I think I finally learnt something. Leave it to the professionals.
"Once again"
- Ok.
Can someone translate all those things? hahaha
"Just see his hands" RIGHT!
quick reminder, most of those guys learned licks from audio tapes,
Man up, if you can't learn anything from this video, this is just because it's out of your reach, practice and come back,
if you just came to learn some BS lick to impress idiots, you have no right to complain.
Thank you so much for this video. Zakk need to do an album just with that, just a guitar and chicken picking.
If u haven't already, u should check out Zakk's first band he got famous with: Pride & Glory, it's a lot more country rock style
lf you are to the point where you can play this, you should be able to see/hear what he is playing without him having to break down every single note for you. So you complaining shows that you wouldn't be able to play what he's playing anyway.
Colton Bowling I second that. I chicken pick myself and he did say "Amin pentatonic." So, I was tracking the whole time.

Antonio Christian Glad you can also understand and relate to what I said, dude. Hopefully other people can as well.
If you really dig this and want to play exactly the same notes, you can always use Transcribe software to slow it down
terrible teacher killer player i wish he'd make a signature acoustic guitar
Doesn't exactly break it down step by step but whatever, awesome playing though.
The monster Zakk Wylde!
#Respect
+Pauloemariana Mendonca this is not a monster but a man with hangover who plays the same shit for years and everybody like this beacouse he is Zakk but this is nothing more then A7 for 7 minutes.Bullsh..
The heart is willing, but the body is unable.
Watch me shred while you still suck. Love Zakk, learned nothing from this though, except he's a wizard.
Every Zakk Wylde lesson or how to video is like this. Useless to anyone wanting to advance. Amazing for entertainment value.
0:54 shades of Cliff Burton?
for whom the bell tolls
Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,.
Yeah, this is much better than his electrical stuff.
Amazing teacher! I learned chicken picking in 7:17 min. YOU can save time though by skipping to 4:39, watch the lick and hear the words "basically I was using every note we can". Sums up this 'lesson' nicely!
Pfff, obviously. 😂
Hell yeah, Father Zakk!! Awesome licks ideas... bad ass!!! lml
#BLfamily
no sure exactly what the lick was, did he go over it really lol, I know he kind gave like 3-4 ideas out but it was basically him noodling

Try Farewell Ballad and In this River.
Zakk Acoustic Shred, is Gooood
Nice lesson Zakk, made me wanna quit guitar. Thanks 👍
I think he stated once "Albert Lee Star Licks , it's all on there"
I love him but lemme just make an impression.
*”hey guys this is Zakk Wylde heeeeya and uh today we will be-...* * *burps* * *fuck-...anyways uhh we will be doing A Minor *(starts playing over himself while talking and comes back to reality after 5 minutes of playing and realizing that the cameras are rolling.)* *”WELL UHH.....yeah so..chromatics and passing tones...”*
Yeah just call up Tony Montana and have him fill your bathtub with Columbia's finest, hold your breath for 30 seconds minimum, then dive in head first. When you emerge, you'll be at Zakk Wylde speed! 😆 definitely not even close to his level of ability but you'll at least be able to comprehend 800 bpm
So yeah we're just gonna Sweep picks for almost 2 minutes
And then we're just gonna Continues to solo for another long time
Also you can Continues picking so quickly the camera blurs
You also have Chicken picks super fast for another minute
Talks for less than 15 seconds about riffs
You can do it like Solos really fast again
So yeah hope that helped thanks for having me
Best guitar lesson 💯
Guy who are criticzing the fact that this not a lesson ...: Rock/Blues Guitar is based on watching and reproducing... this is how great guitarist did in their early days ... so just and figure it out !, presuming you already head about pentatonic scales, this is not to hard ... and if Zakk's playong is to fast, just use any video player that allows you to slow down the video ! ... Nowadays there is so many Tools to learn guitars .... and don't forget, practicing is the key ...not spending time watching videos on youtube !!! Good luck.
"I'll give you a breakdown on one lick now.." There is only one lick?
Oh, sure. Just like that, no problem. He makes a horrible guitar teacher, he's got no patience and no low speed, just high, fast, quick and rapid.
Yeeehaw Zakk 🤘
I was watching some Alex Scolnick videos now watching zac I feel like I have a terrible learning disability. 😂
i get everyone here, I'm in the same boat but we can't forget that most of that stuff he learned just watching people play these licks trying to copy them for hours on end. so guys pull yourself together and put in the effort. we got youtube we can even slow down the video but without rewinding a thousand times you won't learn it...
He doesn’t have time to teach people that can’t already shred. He couldn’t slow his hands down if he wanted to for you campfire pluckers.
He's 100000000000000000 times better than i am but i never cared for his playing.
So pick a key then use pentatonic scales then ignore scale and play chromatic with emphasis on the key root note. Use finger picking with a pick. Mutes strings
is this a joke? Basically play ever note you can in a jumble using a chicken pickin technique and the slide up to the root chord at the end to make it make some sort of sense.
22-23 seconds. Incomprehensible
I don't think Zakk knows the meaning of "slow down"
guy makes a comment and goes off playing random impromptu #&$@ -
It's hard for Olympic sprinters to teach people how to walk
Same shit he always plays.
Just a wall of fucking noise
Man I wanna play his style of chicken pickin so bad but his teaching is awfull
it's a ultra master class
learning to fly when ain't crawling jet doe's any sense?
Then u start insdterstandin… chromatic some of these patterns. lol 😝 t
Freaking AWESOME!
Zack is typical show off teacher lol
Coolest show off teacher
Yard sale tomorrow...guitars for sale...cheap!
Anyone else notice his demon thumb nail, on his picking hand
Amazing player. The worst teacher.
He looks like Jerry's uncle in the episode of Tom n Jerry. Always breaking a string and pulling Tom's whiskers out. Zakk is a fantastic axe slinger, but he's become a cliche'
The cold hard truth is you shouldn't be watching a video on chicken picking if you don't know which type of scale you're planning to flow it with. He started out with the foundation of an A Major Pentatonic, and simply showed you can create personal connectors to those foundations to create scales of known types, blues/jazz etc..learn a bunch, they're fun!
did someone say 'Lesson ' ? , great playing , but its not a lesson

The lesson is chromatics at a blistering speed.
Zakk has just never been a teacher of guitar sorry boys.
Im always dissapointed when i watch zakks video doing a solo. I dont know for some reasons i always feel theres something lacking in his playing that eventhough his very technically knowledgeable i still cant enjoy his playing. Im really puzzled whats lacking
Great playing, worst guitar lesson I've ever seen

You Rock Zakk..Love you bro..can't wait to see you at tht House of Blues in Cleveland...Ohio!!!
Once again watch closely...
I love Zakk and his influence, but Wylde Audio guitars for the price are utterly dissapointing.
im done in life you great i try try and try i got some things can break the person neck that says it easy for me
Well that really cleared things up for me
Love this. So awesome to take the time to teach; FOR FREE. I'm sure he's getting paid from Guitar World, but still man. How cool is he.
That's the weirdest looking Epiphone headstock I've ever seen. Looks so much better than the regular one.
I really don't know a lot about guitar but suphise to say I don't think Zakk has the patients to teach guitar!! :))
That epiphone is fucking bad ass
