John Mayer is an exception to "let's celebrate my awesomeness" attitude. He breaks down his licks & explains the details so that others can also play. I'm not nearly at that level to play his challeging songs yet, but still enjoy his breakdowns. He's a true king.
I purchased Tom's masterclass and I really enjoyed it. I didn't come with overwhelming expectations because many of the celebrity lessons generally don't deliver stunning value. However I will say for the motivation and peak onto his approach to creating this package was invaluable. Bruce Lee said it best, "Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, add specifically what is your own.". For some of you who are judging based on his politics or you criticize his heavy use of effects, this is a guitar course. The man has influence hundreds, if not thousands to pick up a guitar. His albums have sold millions. You might not like everything he has to offer but you're missing out if you think he has nothing to offer.
He inspired me 30yrs ago to pick up a guitar unfortunately I’ve never been able to figure out how to replicate he’s sounds , does Tom explain in he’s masterclass how he creates those sound effects ?
@@The_Trinity_Effect he definitely breaks down the equipment he uses. Pedals and so forth. However what he emphasizes is working with what you have and keeping it simple. So I I’m not sure you will come away with being to master his sound but he definitely inspires you to find your own.
I had the Hans Zimmer composing master class. I made it through 5 ‘lessons’ then stopped knowing I had learned nothing. I mean nothing. These guys hit it. Just because you can write doesn’t mean you can teach.
Sometimes is more about the way you aproach their knowledge than what they can actually teach you, a lot of ppl have learn from hendrix and his playing style without having any class with him... But that is true , u cant give lessons if u cant really teach
I had the same dvd with my Ibanez starter pack. I have to wonder if I would have stuck with the guitar if it didn’t come with that DVD. It was so helpful for a newbie and he just came off as such a cool guy right from the start. It motivated me to keep pushing through.
I love those and hold Pauls lessons up to par to the ones Marty Friedman did. They both take you through their own thought processes and talk like music lovers as well as experts.
I'm watching a Marty video looking at someone else's "educational" videos. An add then plays featuring Marty about instructional lessons on another channel. This is some deep Inception level stuff right there.
Most people commenting on this video seem to have no concept of what a 'masterclass' is supposed to be. This type of thing is not meant for people who have been playing music for only a year or two. I have experienced dozens and dozens of workshops and masterclasses from professional jazz musicians, and almost all of them deal with overarching macro concepts, rather than specific micro type things such as... how to play a pentatonic scale or something. There is a level of assumed knowledge, and it is unrealistic to expect Tom Morello (or whoever) to teach you how to play Mary had a little lamb. Not to mention, why would you purchase a masterclass from a specific musician if not for wanting to learn from *their* musical perspective? Once again, you can learn basic chords, scales, arpeggios etc from practically *any* guitar teacher. If you don't want to know Tom Morello's own approach to these things, why are you watching in the first place?
It's a waste of money because he doesn't really teach you anything. That's the joke here. Maybe he does. Maybe after the 99 dollars you become a standby guitarist for RATM. I doubt that tho
@@kevin_kevinson i just don't believe that though. Even in the short excerpts shown in this video, there are some great nuggets of wisdom. Like even his concept of a noise chart, what a sick idea, there are so many ways you could apply that concept to your own music. like i said before it's macro vs micro. I feel like the comments is filled with people wanting to be told the exact tabs for his Take The Power Back solo or something?
It's simple actually, it's just a bad value. That as in not worth the price, especially from such a someone who proclaims to go full on socialism. He's basically selling you common sense.
Exactly. A traditional masterclass in an arts/music school is a top-tier private lesson given to very talented handpicked students who already have a mastery of the instrument. You usually need to audition for the good ones and it can be highly competitive. However, the masterclass is always open to an audience. The audience doesn't have to have the same ability or knowledge to listen and learn. Just don't expect to learn any fundamentals. The best ones I've witnessed have been more talking, lecturing, philosophizing from the artist rather than going over technique. It's those 1 or 2 nuggets of wisdom you hope for.
Don't want to dis Tom, but I would take a Marty lesson over his 10 out if ten times. Already learned alot more from Marty's channel than the Rage guitar books I bought years ago.
Those guitar books are rubbish for all bands and guitarists. It's not a Tom Morello thing. They were useful in the days before the internet and even then, taught bad habits and wrong ways to play things. They were just a money grab, no tie to the bands themselves. For example.. if you want to play some Metallica riffs accurately (now), watch some Ben Eller videos. But 20-30 years ago, there was no Ben Eller. There were dodgy tabs with no rhythm or those books. Or some blurry VHS tapes of live performances. Useful for people with very little skills to get them in the ballpark of playing something similar. But guitar tabs online do something similar.. Now we have kids able to watch their fave guitarists in HD, see their hands clearly, high quality audio.. it's a different world. Learning by ear is always best, but it's 1000 times easier now than it was listening to a fuzzy cassette or record through dodgy speakers without even being able to see what they were doing. There's also a lot more info available now in terms of interviews in HD with these guitarists and how they explain the mindset behind their style of playing. It's all good stuff.
@@Jonw8222 Oh for sure it is easier now. I agree. And Uncle Ben is great, I dig his lessons too. I guess I mean that his style (Tom), once learning his songs, were fun to play but I didn't take anything away from them that was useful like other tab books had. Thats just me though, maybe it helped other musicians. Thats why I'm not knocking Tom, just would rather learn from Marty if given the choice. Again, thats just me. Cheers.
"I started playing late, I started playing when I was 17 years old. So I felt like I was tremendously behind..." Oh dear.... I was 50 so... divide by 17, carry the one... hmmm...
I love the time Morello tried to use his fame to get a table at a restaurant, and when they refused to kick people out to accommodate him and his entourage, he launched a Twitter attack against the restaurant, trying to get people to boycott them. But he's all about the common man and equality, right? Not entitled at all... Hahaha..
I don’t understand the hate here, and I’m not a big Tom fan. His points were actually really liberating for me, and I bet he actually did put in all that time he says he did to become successful. His “free recess” analogy was great for improvisation
Oh shit, when I clicked on the video Marty came playing like a G chord on his guitar, and him talking about his new loft, and it took me a full minute to realize that was an ad. I’m fucking dying, help 😂
I bought this class when i was first beginning and I've literally never taken a more pointless course in my life. Save your money guys. LOVE THE REACTION VIDEO THO. You guys are two of my favorites, keep it going for us! Thanks gentlemen!
if you’re already a good guitar player i’m sure its helpful if you want to sound more like tom morello, he tells you how to do all his tricks, its just not for beginners
Alex Lifeson did some videos on how he played a couple of Rush hits, and how he played his parts, broke it down. I still can't play them, but he did break it down as much as possible. But Alex is a master player!
I watched a couple of those. He really did a good job with them. I learned a good bit from those, plus if you learn some if the things he does in those you can hear it in other songs as well.
@@sasmitroy5480 the idea of what a "masterclass" should be is subjective. For example is it technique focused, is it based on a philosophical insight on how the facilitator creates their music or is it a literal note per note session (which this in essence is a basics course). To me its all very relevant in improving on guitar. I find this valuable and all very insightful. At different tiers of learning its the focus that I expect different. These are masters class, I wouldn't expect to learn how to play note per note "Neon" (which would be amazing), I want to know his process in creating "Neon". I'm always hungry. Thank you guitar gods!
Wut? He's participating in a program that teaches people how to do music... And wow, people have to buy it, oh no, such a horrible evil thing. What does that have to do with racist brutality, actual greed, corrupt law enforcement, etc...? What exactly is he shilling to us through this program? He's not preaching some political ideology or scientific or social falsehood that's benefitting some corporation or government by engaging in social engineering through this program... He's showing how he approaches his music. Lol. What exactly are you accusing him of shilling? To shill is to go around preaching something bad under the guise of it being good on behalf of some more powerful entity. How is this shilling? Because he and a business are receiving money for the service? Wut
@@OdaKa Dude is a hypocrite wearing hammer & sickle all over and wearing Che shirts... Basic lefty pretending to care and help, but in reality just a poser trying to look cool.
I've taken Tom's and Santana's courses. Tom's was GREAT for style, unique ability, be yourself, etc... a really FINE Masterclass! Santana's was worth the watch, but was more philosophical about creativity than about anything else. 🐺
Great video from two of my favorite teachers. I loved hearing that most people don't get that "practice" is key to improving. I'm one of those people reading music and playing piano from the age of five or six. Later on when learning jazz, I struggled to improvise. Started guitar as a newbie since retiring, and improv has come a little easier.
Towards the end of the video, about recording jam sessions to find the juicy bits etc. That's something I learned from Eminem after seeing the metric ton of lyrics he is always writing down. Notebooks just full of lyrics and ideas that randomly come to him. Like "ooh, that's a good idea, let me write that down/record that." I think it's a really good mindset to be in.
Yeah, there are very few rock star types I’ve seen who are actually good at teaching what they’re doing. Paul Gilbert is the only one that immediately comes to mind for me.
I would practice to the radio being on... Sometimes it was the local classical station, just to have something to play along with or solo over. I was in a foster home, late 90's... No internet... So I did what I could. I will say... Even just a metranom is better than a silent room.
Started with tabs and lessons than about 3 months into playing guitar I saw a video of Keith Richards saying he learned through listening to records and trying to repeat what they played, 4 years later and I’ve never been happier that I switched to learning by ear, literally seams impossible at first but you slowly (very slowly) pick up lick after lick and then the music world is yours
playing guitar along to different styles and speeds and genres, all while learning the major scale and modes, different scales and learning songs with riffs and licks and solos is what taught me. Other people could never put it into the words for me to understand. Its really a hands on learning experience, nothing else.
Marty I’ve taught guitar for 30 years and I wish I could say what I know you’re thinking about this video! God bless ya’ I wish you all the success. You help so many people out👍
I watched several MasterClasses and Morello's was by far my favorite. He was witty, insightful and informative. The MasterClass was for the general public (i.e. non-players who may some day be interested in playing guitar) and NOT for advanced players (thank god as that would have been boring as hell). Most people do not understand that the MasterClasses are not actual classes, but generalized topic sessions with people who have achieved something in a certain field. They are more like an extended Ted Talk. If you want you can blame MasterClass for misnaming their product, but other than that it's pretty obvious that you are getting an extended topic discussion from an expert in a field and NOT an actual class.
I'm 54, and picked up guitar at the age of 22 [wish I would have started sooner, but better late than never], self taught originally [by ear, or tabs from magazines], but now with fantastic online teachers on "The UA-cams" like @Marty Music, @Michael Palmisano, @JamesJames, @Robert Baker...the list goes on and on, I'm officially "taking lessons"..and you're all great teachers in your own style of teaching. I do have to agree with Tom on practicing...I had or have 'zero natural ability' to play guitar. It comes with hours upon hours of practice...practice...practice. I remember the moment I could switch fluidly between G, D, C, F, E, A...and thought it was a MIRACLE! Like when you first rode a bike! Anyway, all you teachers on the web, keep up the good work...people are watching and learning from you all. It's appreciated. Cheers! RT
I also had ZERO talent, tone deaf, and played for 2 years (or tried to before I even knew how to tune it). Fast forward 30 years and I never gave up, always played daily. With the help of Marty (and a few others), my playing has exploded in the last few months. Wish he would have been around when I was a kid. Thanks Marty
Two of my favourite five guitar UA-cam Michael and Marty along with Rick Beato Paul Davids and Justinguitar , love the colab , hope there’s more down the track .
Wow. Thanks for sharing so truthfully your take on this teaching program. It is awesome people like you who have changed the lives for us common folk who would otherwise have no chance of ever navigating the fretboard. You are generous and very much appreciated.
I saw an interview with tom morello where he talks about finding "his sound" and he was using the old school digitech whammy pedal and his favorite marshall amp. His is big on the different effects and such. He was good in rage but i think he shined in audioslave. His unique style went well with chris cornells voice and their band in general. He was def more grounded with them. I can sorta relate to finding a sound you consider yours or the sound your looking for. Playing style and technique is a different ball game. I've personally moved away from super crazy effects. I like some but i don't like to drowned out all the good natural guitar sounds. Just a little dirt, gain, hint of reverb or delay but fairly clean. Interesting! Master class? I dont know..? Rock on!
I read an article that stated he found his sound because most of his gear was stolen and he replaced it with what he could afford and that ended up being his sound. Not sure how much truth there is to that.
Dude, I kinda get the opposite impression. He sounds like a titan unchained in ratm and kinda restrained in audioslave. Too many monster riffs in ratm (Down Rodeo and Son of a Broken Man aren t even basic catalogue), while, for instance, the Cochise intro is genius, but the main riff sounds... ok for a beginner? This feels like comparing 2 great bands though, kinda stupid. Show me how to live s main riff is great btw (i like syncopation)
Tom : capitalism is bar, mmkaaay. Also Tom : has product deal with one of the biggest guitar companies in the world while also making record deals with large corporations. All while selling "classes" on the free market. Tom is a great example of a hypocrite and that's why I can't stand him or ratm.
On a point about "keeping up with friends to improve", a somewhat beginner's idea if you (like me) don't have musician friends to jam with: A good ways to improve is: - To jam with jam tracks; - To learn some DAW and start writing and recording your own music. It will take some time at first, but approaching guitar from this point of view makes you think differently: you stop thinking "I want to sound like Cobain/SRV/Morello" (which is impossible) - instead, you start thinking "I want to sound like MYSELF". It helps me A LOT, because I know, why I want to improve - I want to make interesting and beautiful music. Even though I wrote just 5 songs and they are quite garbage, it's still MY garbage (and it's getting better :)). And during the process of writing this garbage I started realising, what I enjoy in guitar and what I want to add to my music. This gave me SO MUCH motivation to practice, that I just can't stop now. And keep in mind: "I want to sound like..." is definitely not a bad thing! Taking ideas, learning skills and techniques from more experienced musicians is necessary - it's just the way learning is. But by writing your own music you will take these ideas, skills and techniques and think "how can I implement/change/improve them?". And this way you will not only improve as a guitarist - you will improve as a musician. So yeah, that's it. And sorry if this text is sort of hard to read - English is not my first language :) Edit: some grammar
Tom’s Masterclass was exactly what I wanted. He taught me how to make funky noises on my guitar because that’s what HE knows how to do. I certainly didn’t tune into his class expecting him to teach me how to play a G chord, and if that’s why you’re expecting, then you’re going in with the wrong mindset.
Thank you Marty, love your stuff…. You and Michael are two of my absolute favorites. I could listen to the two of you discussing guitar playing for hours and hours!! Thanks to you too Mike 👍
Good for you guys making this video…a lot of people see those big names like Santana/morello and think their gonna learn to shred..for 100$ course it is not worth at it all. Especially when there is so much free content everywhere. Also love Santana but it was basically 10 or 12 courses talking about passion…Jake Shimabukuro one was great though. Actually learned a few things:)
25:00 interesting. I've played guitar for 13 years (since i was 16) and i'd say 90% of the time i just grab the guitar and play whatever comes to mind (improvised). I rarely play songs. I actually rarely learn new songs except for stuff that i REALLY love. Im not great at improvising, but i have the most fun when doing this.
This reminds me of a cebrity DVD I bought years ago where in the intro he says the way to learn how to play guitar is not through DVDs like this and I thought I will never buy another Rockstar guitar players DVD lessons again
Tom Morello: I'm not naturally talented Allen Iverson: *Is naturally talented* Yes, he should still practice, but if you're that good, you're just that good
I don't know if anyone else picked up on this, but it seems to me Tom Morello's entire raison D'etre isn't about having monster chops and being able to flex his music theory muscles. It's about creating something that no one else has done, it's about being himself on the guitar. The guitar is a tool for expression to him, not a means of showing off his intellect, ability or skills. He's in it to create art and sometimes the way to do that is to throw out the rule book and chart his own course. We should be thankful people like him exist, he's doing what more artists should be doing.
Marty and Michael great video you put together. Its because of people like you that keep me playing and learning new things about the guitar beyond pentatonics lol.
I wouldn't expect someone to explain triplets in a Masterclass. I also wouldn't sign up for a masterclass as a beginner. If I was an advanced player and I admired someone that I probably wouldn't meet I would purchase it to hear his perspective.
The key is, to spend time exploring both sides of the brain (logic and imagination) and learn how to cross sides and merge the two worlds together. Living your entire life on one side or the other is limited; having both sides in your toolkit gives you a much broader scope. And that's what has been the most attractive to me about music and how I got hooked in the first place. It's a beautiful way to merge logic with art, freedom and emotion. Improvisation is like magic to me. I can't figure out why it works. I just know each time I do it with others, new and exciting sounds come out that I've never heard anywhere before. While I'm playing, I'm not me. I'm detached from myself, and someone else takes over and does the playing for me. When I listen back to it, I'm always amazed that somehow, I had something to do with recording the music. And because that other guy that took me over was the one who played it, I'm less judgmental, and the music sounds even better to me than it did while I played it.
I've watched several of the videos on Tom Morello's Master Class and have mixed emotions. There is some value in it but I wish there was a class more geared to music theory applied to guitar. I think this channel, Paul Davids, Rick Beato, and Tyler Larson offer more for free.
Thanks for that. That's a really good look on classes on line. Yes, I would think they're helpful, but only if one loves it. I practiced the saxophone in school, and took lessons as part of the school band, but when I switched to guitar I did not, it was for pure love and inspiration driving me then, and still does. I removed the teacher and worked at my own pace which was hours a day, NOT because I had to for a grade, but because I loved it and wanted to...if one doesn't have that, it's just a chore and is being forced. Inspiration is everything on a guitar. I would think about it even when I wasn't playing/practicing, I still do. Then came the gear and tone work, which is a lifelong endeavor in and of itself, but can also be the inspiring factor that keeps one coming back to it and makes them want to get better. I was telling a younger person than I, there's all kinds of great guitar players out there and you can learn note for note rote learning or you can just make it yours like pretty much all the greats have done. And went on to say: a great guitar player is only half the battle, if that great player has a crappy tone I'll probably remember and dig that less technical player that just had a great sound/tone more than that amazing technical player. Kind of surprised that there isn't an ear training course on there...maybe there is, but I didn't see it. Would go hand-in-hand with theory studying I would think.
If you don't get that these rockstars are masters of guitar in their own right, I mean Santana played Woodstock. All I'm saying is don't expect them to teach you guitar, but show you their way of thinking about the instrument.
Tom Morello just interrupted a reaction video to Tom Morello with an ad for Tom Morello's MasterClass; gentlemen, I believe you just unlocked a portal to a world of supermassive riffs!
A few points: Famous folks (or players) aren't always the best teachers and vice versa. Secondly, he's Tom Morello and that's what he's famous for. There is value in the idea of coming up with a way to "organize the toolbox" by naming those sounds or effects even if the names don't make sense to anyone else. He (you) know what they mean, how to get them and how to use effectively in a given situation when they arise. THAT is important.
Yeah but to be fair that idea is to that groundbreaking, they teach you in grade ten physics to make a toolbox for your problems and keep everything organized.
was expecting a Tom Morrello roast, but got a great review of that master class. As a person that learns from Marty's youtube channel and has seen him play live, I enjoyed this video from beginning to end. Will be checking Micheals channel for sure. Super awesome elaborations from both of them. Gives me a look at the master class thing with out buying it. Strong points. I think my favorite parts were about improve and practicing and learning from people that are more advanced. I know for sure that a great % of my learning was playing live and having people push me to new limits. totes me goats.
Michael's a really good guy..( news about 45 minutes away in real world time).. over the past 15 years of me watching you-tube,hes one of only two guitar teachers whocould get bit of theory through my thick skull( I'm a really old dog set in my ways).
It’s kind of a relief to hear him say he had no natural ability and had to fight for every note. I get frustrated sometimes and wonder if I just don’t have “it”. Knowing it’s all about practicing consistently and being in charge of my own destiny as a guitar player is a huge shot of hope.
I know at least two other guitar players who used to play 8 hours a day on a daily basis: Zakk Wylde and Steve Vai. See the difference of result it can result in! haha Tom morello on one side, Steve and Zakk on the other. lol
Really great viewing. Had the strat for a couple of months after one year on the acoustic. Probably foolish of me to start having a look at Slash's welcome to the jungle a couple of days ago (no theory!), ill dream on! Great post guys.
Are masterclasses supposed to be for beginners? Out of the few vocal masterclasses I've been to they usually move forward with the assumption that you know at least the basics
@Javier Ibañez Mena yeah, in the video it seemed like they were confused about Tom Morello doing a master class cause they don't think he would ever teach beginners
I like seeing you guys doing some videos together. I had not played guitar yet today and watching you guys react to the practice made me go pick up my guitar. Played Bertha > Cumberland
Cool video man I respect that at the level of playing that your at you still make sure you put in time to teach us beginners so just a big thanks🤘... this is random but would you ever do a lesson on big log by Robert plant?
Buckethead does the same exact thing. He records himself just playing stuff and even noodling and then goes back through it and find the great parts and expand on those. Why wouldn't you? I mean...when you just come up with something off the top of your head and it's awesome, you've only played it maybe once or twice at that point. It's much easier to rewind a tape than try to remember 16/32/xx notes out of thousands that you played that day.
if you haven't, check out Tom's MasterClass: www.masterclass.com/classes/tom-morello-teaches-electric-guitar

Learning by ear is always best, but it's 1000 times easier now than it was listening to a fuzzy cassette or record through dodgy speakers without even being able to see what they were doing. There's also a lot more info available now in terms of interviews in HD with these guitarists and how they explain the mindset behind their style of playing. It's all good stuff.
@@Jonw8222 Oh for sure it is easier now. I agree. And Uncle Ben is great, I dig his lessons too. I guess I mean that his style (Tom), once learning his songs, were fun to play but I didn't take anything away from them that was useful like other tab books had. Thats just me though, maybe it helped other musicians. Thats why I'm not knocking Tom, just would rather learn from Marty if given the choice. Again, thats just me. Cheers.
"I started playing late, I started playing when I was 17 years old. So I felt like I was tremendously behind..." Oh dear.... I was 50 so... divide by 17, carry the one... hmmm...
I’m 42 and I decided if I’m going to have a midlife crisis it might as well be learning how to play guitar.

Getting money for your work isn't incoherent with marxism 😉
Dude he doesn't set the price
Spot on!
I love the time Morello tried to use his fame to get a table at a restaurant, and when they refused to kick people out to accommodate him and his entourage, he launched a Twitter attack against the restaurant, trying to get people to boycott them.
But he's all about the common man and equality, right? Not entitled at all... Hahaha..
@@cianosullivan2799 Not at all. But I don't know if playing a 25 thousand dollar guitar to promote the final season of Game of Thrones is....
I don’t understand the hate here, and I’m not a big Tom fan. His points were actually really liberating for me, and I bet he actually did put in all that time he says he did to become successful. His “free recess” analogy was great for improvisation
Oh shit, when I clicked on the video Marty came playing like a G chord on his guitar, and him talking about his new loft, and it took me a full minute to realize that was an ad. I’m fucking dying, help 😂
In the ad he says he didn't trust teachers, so inspiring, but wants you to trust him teaching you, ironic
I GOT A MARTY MUSIC AD ON THIS VIDEO, YOU KNOW I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING!
Now that's amazing.
Got it the same time I read your comment
I watched to whole thing also - LOL! First time ever.
I bought this class when i was first beginning and I've literally never taken a more pointless course in my life. Save your money guys. LOVE THE REACTION VIDEO THO. You guys are two of my favorites, keep it going for us! Thanks gentlemen!
Thanks Riley!
They became the machine, huh?
@@Aurora-oe2qp Always have been 👈
It’s abit hard for a beginner I would say
if you’re already a good guitar player i’m sure its helpful if you want to sound more like tom morello, he tells you how to do all his tricks, its just not for beginners
Alex Lifeson did some videos on how he played a couple of Rush hits, and how he played his parts, broke it down. I still can't play them, but he did break it down as much as possible. But Alex is a master player!
I watched a couple of those. He really did a good job with them. I learned a good bit from those, plus if you learn some if the things he does in those you can hear it in other songs as well.
John Mayer breaks down the chords and notes more than other rock stars.
I was just about to comment that
I don't want to play like John Mayer note per note. I want to understand how he thinks and processes when playing to see like he sees.
@@davidalvarez578 but that's what he does. He breaks down the technique and the thought process rather than just teaching his own songs.
@@sasmitroy5480 the idea of what a "masterclass" should be is subjective. For example is it technique focused, is it based on a philosophical insight on how the facilitator creates their music or is it a literal note per note session (which this in essence is a basics course). To me its all very relevant in improving on guitar. I find this valuable and all very insightful. At different tiers of learning its the focus that I expect different. These are masters class, I wouldn't expect to learn how to play note per note "Neon" (which would be amazing), I want to know his process in creating "Neon". I'm always hungry. Thank you guitar gods!
John went to Berlee and knows his shit, I'm not sure Tom Morello or alot of other Rockstar know much theory or really understand what they're doing
Tom sounds like he has a helpful philosophy at improving your playing. Really enjoyed the video guys, thanks.
Tom morello went from killing in the name of to shilling in the name of.
He always was the same Harvard guy to begin with...
Wut? He's participating in a program that teaches people how to do music... And wow, people have to buy it, oh no, such a horrible evil thing. What does that have to do with racist brutality, actual greed, corrupt law enforcement, etc...? What exactly is he shilling to us through this program? He's not preaching some political ideology or scientific or social falsehood that's benefitting some corporation or government by engaging in social engineering through this program... He's showing how he approaches his music. Lol. What exactly are you accusing him of shilling? To shill is to go around preaching something bad under the guise of it being good on behalf of some more powerful entity. How is this shilling? Because he and a business are receiving money for the service? Wut
He's entitled to make a living just like everybody else. He's never preached against working or making a living, just corporatism.
@@OdaKa Dude is a hypocrite wearing hammer & sickle all over and wearing Che shirts... Basic lefty pretending to care and help, but in reality just a poser trying to look cool.
My guy sounds like any turd that you would laugh at at guitar center…and he’s on top guitarist lists….cmon man
I've taken Tom's and Santana's courses. Tom's was GREAT for style, unique ability, be yourself, etc... a really FINE Masterclass! Santana's was worth the watch, but was more philosophical about creativity than about anything else. 🐺
what else did you expect from santana? teach you how to sustain a note?
1st solo I ever learned was his from “ Like a Stone “. Just happened to have a two-octave pedal
Great video from two of my favorite teachers. I loved hearing that most people don't get that "practice" is key to improving. I'm one of those people reading music and playing piano from the age of five or six. Later on when learning jazz, I struggled to improvise. Started guitar as a newbie since retiring, and improv has come a little easier.
Towards the end of the video, about recording jam sessions to find the juicy bits etc.
That's something I learned from Eminem after seeing the metric ton of lyrics he is always writing down. Notebooks just full of lyrics and ideas that randomly come to him. Like "ooh, that's a good idea, let me write that down/record that."
I think it's a really good mindset to be in.
Yeah, there are very few rock star types I’ve seen who are actually good at teaching what they’re doing. Paul Gilbert is the only one that immediately comes to mind for me.
Tom Morello, Michael Palmisano, AND Marty all in the same video?! Too good to be true.
These guys are trying so so hard to say something positive about this and not get in trouble. 😂
Tom Morello is raging on behalf of the machine
I would practice to the radio being on... Sometimes it was the local classical station, just to have something to play along with or solo over. I was in a foster home, late 90's... No internet... So I did what I could.
I will say... Even just a metranom is better than a silent room.
Started with tabs and lessons than about 3 months into playing guitar I saw a video of Keith Richards saying he learned through listening to records and trying to repeat what they played, 4 years later and I’ve never been happier that I switched to learning by ear, literally seams impossible at first but you slowly (very slowly) pick up lick after lick and then the music world is yours
playing guitar along to different styles and speeds and genres, all while learning the major scale and modes, different scales and learning songs with riffs and licks and solos is what taught me. Other people could never put it into the words for me to understand. Its really a hands on learning experience, nothing else.
Marty I’ve taught guitar for 30 years and I wish I could say what I know you’re thinking about this video! God bless ya’ I wish you all the success. You help so many people out👍
I watched several MasterClasses and Morello's was by far my favorite. He was witty, insightful and informative. The MasterClass was for the general public (i.e. non-players who may some day be interested in playing guitar) and NOT for advanced players (thank god as that would have been boring as hell). Most people do not understand that the MasterClasses are not actual classes, but generalized topic sessions with people who have achieved something in a certain field. They are more like an extended Ted Talk. If you want you can blame MasterClass for misnaming their product, but other than that it's pretty obvious that you are getting an extended topic discussion from an expert in a field and NOT an actual class.
I also have a guitar go to list like tom it goes:
1. A minor
2. C
3. G7
4. Embellishments
5. Act like its original
6. Whammy Time
And when you play lead lines....
bend that shit.... Watch the bass player get jealous when people look amazed.
I'm 54, and picked up guitar at the age of 22 [wish I would have started sooner, but better late than never], self taught originally [by ear, or tabs from magazines], but now with fantastic online teachers on "The UA-cams" like @Marty Music, @Michael Palmisano, @JamesJames, @Robert Baker...the list goes on and on, I'm officially "taking lessons"..and you're all great teachers in your own style of teaching. I do have to agree with Tom on practicing...I had or have 'zero natural ability' to play guitar. It comes with hours upon hours of practice...practice...practice. I remember the moment I could switch fluidly between G, D, C, F, E, A...and thought it was a MIRACLE! Like when you first rode a bike! Anyway, all you teachers on the web, keep up the good work...people are watching and learning from you all. It's appreciated. Cheers! RT
I also had ZERO talent, tone deaf, and played for 2 years (or tried to before I even knew how to tune it). Fast forward 30 years and I never gave up, always played daily. With the help of Marty (and a few others), my playing has exploded in the last few months. Wish he would have been around when I was a kid. Thanks Marty
@@jeffblankenshipmusic Couldn't agree with you more. Keep playing brother! It's so much fun when you discover new things on the guitar!
“pickin out the juicy bits” is like catching musical butterflies.
Two of my favourite five guitar UA-cam Michael and Marty along with Rick Beato Paul Davids and Justinguitar , love the colab , hope there’s more down the track .
Wow. Thanks for sharing so truthfully your take on this teaching program.
It is awesome people like you who have changed the lives for us common folk who would otherwise have no chance of ever navigating the fretboard. You are generous and very much appreciated.
He started late at 17, me at 54 uh-oh. I do try and play 30 minutes every day.
THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! Been following both of y’all for a while, this is so amazing
Thanks Thomas!
This was realistic expectations of the work involved to be able to learn and play guitar. Thank you for the video, eyes wide open!!
I saw an interview with tom morello where he talks about finding "his sound" and he was using the old school digitech whammy pedal and his favorite marshall amp. His is big on the different effects and such. He was good in rage but i think he shined in audioslave. His unique style went well with chris cornells voice and their band in general. He was def more grounded with them. I can sorta relate to finding a sound you consider yours or the sound your looking for. Playing style and technique is a different ball game. I've personally moved away from super crazy effects. I like some but i don't like to drowned out all the good natural guitar sounds. Just a little dirt, gain, hint of reverb or delay but fairly clean. Interesting! Master class? I dont know..? Rock on!
I read an article that stated he found his sound because most of his gear was stolen and he replaced it with what he could afford and that ended up being his sound. Not sure how much truth there is to that.
Dude, I kinda get the opposite impression. He sounds like a titan unchained in ratm and kinda restrained in audioslave. Too many monster riffs in ratm (Down Rodeo and Son of a Broken Man aren t even basic catalogue), while, for instance, the Cochise intro is genius, but the main riff sounds... ok for a beginner?
This feels like comparing 2 great bands though, kinda stupid.
Show me how to live s main riff is great btw (i like syncopation)
This really reinforces my need to get over the performance anxiety.
Tom : capitalism is bar, mmkaaay.
Also Tom : has product deal with one of the biggest guitar companies in the world while also making record deals with large corporations. All while selling "classes" on the free market.
Tom is a great example of a hypocrite and that's why I can't stand him or ratm.
You can't stand RATM??.... I feel sorry for you, what a terrible existence. Life is way better with RATM in it!
Um... A brotha gotta eat. All that political posturing got tiresome for me. It was always about the music for me.
@@jgreezy2064 Gotta eat millions?
You can call him zurdo vende humo
Just him ,he is a bulk hypocrite and sell out.
Tom is the kind of guy to support a politician while saying he hates politicians
On a point about "keeping up with friends to improve", a somewhat beginner's idea if you (like me) don't have musician friends to jam with:
A good ways to improve is:
- To jam with jam tracks;
- To learn some DAW and start writing and recording your own music. It will take some time at first, but approaching guitar from this point of view makes you think differently: you stop thinking "I want to sound like Cobain/SRV/Morello" (which is impossible) - instead, you start thinking "I want to sound like MYSELF". It helps me A LOT, because I know, why I want to improve - I want to make interesting and beautiful music. Even though I wrote just 5 songs and they are quite garbage, it's still MY garbage (and it's getting better :)). And during the process of writing this garbage I started realising, what I enjoy in guitar and what I want to add to my music. This gave me SO MUCH motivation to practice, that I just can't stop now.
And keep in mind: "I want to sound like..." is definitely not a bad thing! Taking ideas, learning skills and techniques from more experienced musicians is necessary - it's just the way learning is. But by writing your own music you will take these ideas, skills and techniques and think "how can I implement/change/improve them?". And this way you will not only improve as a guitarist - you will improve as a musician.
So yeah, that's it. And sorry if this text is sort of hard to read - English is not my first language :)
Edit: some grammar
The most articulate teacher among the famous ones is John Mayer
I think Paul Gilbert does a pretty good job teaching. And he’s just fun to watch.
@@Guitarplayer724 paul has no attitude at all, and he is so underrated.
Yomamma is the best teacher by far
Tom’s Masterclass was exactly what I wanted. He taught me how to make funky noises on my guitar because that’s what HE knows how to do.
I certainly didn’t tune into his class expecting him to teach me how to play a G chord, and if that’s why you’re expecting, then you’re going in with the wrong mindset.
It's good to see that Tom finally came around on that whole "capitalism" thing.
They always do. Money is a drug. Money issues has broken up do many bands.
Tom Morrello. “Capitalism is evil and suppression”
Me; So your course is $500 or I could get the course and tee shirt with 6 extra videos for $1000?
And apparently my post is harmful to Tom, according to UA-cam. Is it harmful to Tom, or is it harmful to China UA-cam?
@@lex.cordis that's even debatable. He hasn't done something cool since "Bombtrack".
He likes to make money he just doesn’t want you to make money so you know a good socialist.
Graham Coxon has done a great job of laying down some of his tunes on UA-cam. Theres a terrific old vid knocking about of him teaching Freakin Out
John Mayer teaching a master class would be 🎂
I never saw the entire contents of what Tom's masterclass was all about. I look forward to it!
For the price, there’s better shit on udemy (sales often for 10 bucks a class) and coursera even often free!
I don’t trust teachers!
Becomes a teacher
Here I am playing for a year, having started starting at age 48....
I started at 37..two years ago, it's never late to start if you have any passion for something
Thank you Marty, love your stuff…. You and Michael are two of my absolute favorites. I could listen to the two of you discussing guitar playing for hours and hours!! Thanks to you too Mike 👍
Marty and Michael, love seeing two of my favorite teachers reacting to the master class!! Such a good idea! Please, keep it coming!
Good for you guys making this video…a lot of people see those big names like Santana/morello and think their gonna learn to shred..for 100$ course it is not worth at it all. Especially when there is so much free content everywhere. Also love Santana but it was basically 10 or 12 courses talking about passion…Jake Shimabukuro one was great though. Actually learned a few things:)
Hahahahaha! Perfect comment referencing passion. I passionately dislike Rob Thomas.
25:00 interesting. I've played guitar for 13 years (since i was 16) and i'd say 90% of the time i just grab the guitar and play whatever comes to mind (improvised). I rarely play songs. I actually rarely learn new songs except for stuff that i REALLY love. Im not great at improvising, but i have the most fun when doing this.
This reminds me of a cebrity DVD I bought years ago where in the intro he says the way to learn how to play guitar is not through DVDs like this and I thought I will never buy another Rockstar guitar players DVD lessons again
Guess you learned his lesson 😏
Glad to see Mike’s channel getting some love. One of the best out there
Is he a teacher or a poser? musicians with big ego's are best avoided.
I don’t think Tom morello could be a poser, probably just a bad teacher
He's an anti-capitalist rallying against "the man" while hawking a $1,500 Fender signature model and his classes. Integrity.
@@AV-cx7ob don't forget the $300 RATM tickets
He's a class musician and great teacher
No ego to his masterclass at all
Tom morello: It takes hours and hours and hours of practice.
Allen Iverson: practice?
Tom Morello: I'm not naturally talented
Allen Iverson: *Is naturally talented*
Yes, he should still practice, but if you're that good, you're just that good
I got a rocket mortgage Marty Schwartz AD 🤣🤣
Hahahahaha me too
I don't know if anyone else picked up on this, but it seems to me Tom Morello's entire raison D'etre isn't about having monster chops and being able to flex his music theory muscles. It's about creating something that no one else has done, it's about being himself on the guitar. The guitar is a tool for expression to him, not a means of showing off his intellect, ability or skills. He's in it to create art and sometimes the way to do that is to throw out the rule book and chart his own course. We should be thankful people like him exist, he's doing what more artists should be doing.
The only tool is Tom himself.
Marty and Michael great video you put together. Its because of people like you that keep me playing and learning new things about the guitar beyond pentatonics lol.
Whilst watching this video, the ad for his Master Class played. 😂😂😂
Marty really is a great guitar teacher , I have learned so much from Marty , not sure about Tom Morello though
I wouldn't expect someone to explain triplets in a Masterclass. I also wouldn't sign up for a masterclass as a beginner. If I was an advanced player and I admired someone that I probably wouldn't meet I would purchase it to hear his perspective.
The key is, to spend time exploring both sides of the brain (logic and imagination) and learn how to cross sides and merge the two worlds together. Living your entire life on one side or the other is limited; having both sides in your toolkit gives you a much broader scope.
And that's what has been the most attractive to me about music and how I got hooked in the first place. It's a beautiful way to merge logic with art, freedom and emotion.
Improvisation is like magic to me. I can't figure out why it works. I just know each time I do it with others, new and exciting sounds come out that I've never heard anywhere before. While I'm playing, I'm not me. I'm detached from myself, and someone else takes over and does the playing for me. When I listen back to it, I'm always amazed that somehow, I had something to do with recording the music. And because that other guy that took me over was the one who played it, I'm less judgmental, and the music sounds even better to me than it did while I played it.
I really enjoyed both this video and Tom’s master class! Thanks Marty :-)
I've watched several of the videos on Tom Morello's Master Class and have mixed emotions. There is some value in it but I wish there was a class more geared to music theory applied to guitar. I think this channel, Paul Davids, Rick Beato, and Tyler Larson offer more for free.
Check out Steve stine…
Rick Beato!!!!
Don’t forget Jake Lizzio at Signals Music Studio. Great, great teacher!
Check out Chris Sherland ‘s channel
Thanks for that. That's a really good look on classes on line. Yes, I would think they're helpful, but only if one loves it. I practiced the saxophone in school, and took lessons as part of the school band, but when I switched to guitar I did not, it was for pure love and inspiration driving me then, and still does. I removed the teacher and worked at my own pace which was hours a day, NOT because I had to for a grade, but because I loved it and wanted to...if one doesn't have that, it's just a chore and is being forced. Inspiration is everything on a guitar. I would think about it even when I wasn't playing/practicing, I still do. Then came the gear and tone work, which is a lifelong endeavor in and of itself, but can also be the inspiring factor that keeps one coming back to it and makes them want to get better.
I was telling a younger person than I, there's all kinds of great guitar players out there and you can learn note for note rote learning or you can just make it yours like pretty much all the greats have done. And went on to say: a great guitar player is only half the battle, if that great player has a crappy tone I'll probably remember and dig that less technical player that just had a great sound/tone more than that amazing technical player.
Kind of surprised that there isn't an ear training course on there...maybe there is, but I didn't see it. Would go hand-in-hand with theory studying I would think.
If you don't get that these rockstars are masters of guitar in their own right, I mean Santana played Woodstock.
All I'm saying is don't expect them to teach you guitar, but show you their way of thinking about the instrument.
David Gray breaks down many of his hit songs both on guitar and on piano for free on youtube, very humble nice guy.
Funny how I watch a Marty video and I get the ad for the Big Change episode with Marty lol
This is why people like Marty are PRECIOUS
Thank you Marty. You, Carl Brown, and Steve Stein are my go to guys.
Michael Angelo Batio has amazing lessons from beginner to advanced!
I'm a million percent sure that just by watching that trailer, I will start getting hourly e-mails from Masterclass.
Tom Morello just interrupted a reaction video to Tom Morello with an ad for Tom Morello's MasterClass; gentlemen, I believe you just unlocked a portal to a world of supermassive riffs!
That was great, thanks both of you.
I wanted to see the Gear section:
part A, "my beloved whammy pedal",
part B "install a killswitch on your guitar".
I've seen Tom's MasterClass and it's awesome!!! I love his approach!
Tom is more like a noise maker than a guitar player
LOL I wrote that before I saw he had a noise chart. 🤢
A few points: Famous folks (or players) aren't always the best teachers and vice versa. Secondly, he's Tom Morello and that's what he's famous for.
There is value in the idea of coming up with a way to "organize the toolbox" by naming those sounds or effects even if the names don't make sense to anyone else. He (you) know what they mean, how to get them and how to use effectively in a given situation when they arise. THAT is important.
Yeah but to be fair that idea is to that groundbreaking, they teach you in grade ten physics to make a toolbox for your problems and keep everything organized.
Great Video - Marty Music / Michael Palmisano - both of you are A+++ - on Tom Morello
was expecting a Tom Morrello roast, but got a great review of that master class. As a person that learns from Marty's youtube channel and has seen him play live, I enjoyed this video from beginning to end. Will be checking Micheals channel for sure. Super awesome elaborations from both of them. Gives me a look at the master class thing with out buying it. Strong points. I think my favorite parts were about improve and practicing and learning from people that are more advanced. I know for sure that a great % of my learning was playing live and having people push me to new limits. totes me goats.
Michael's a really good guy..( news about 45 minutes away in real world time).. over the past 15 years of me watching you-tube,hes one of only two guitar teachers whocould get bit of theory through my thick skull( I'm a really old dog set in my ways).
It’s kind of a relief to hear him say he had no natural ability and had to fight for every note. I get frustrated sometimes and wonder if I just don’t have “it”. Knowing it’s all about practicing consistently and being in charge of my own destiny as a guitar player is a huge shot of hope.
ONLY PROBLEM IS TOM STILL SUCKS! LOOK ELSEWHERE
Amen, brother.
P.S. Don't listen to the stupid P.O.S. above me.
I know at least two other guitar players who used to play 8 hours a day on a daily basis: Zakk Wylde and Steve Vai.
See the difference of result it can result in! haha
Tom morello on one side, Steve and Zakk on the other. lol
Zakk Wylde is a shit guitarist in comparison to Steve Vai.
You gotta love the hammer sickle stickers from a guy who’s made millions through capitalism
There’s a 30-40 yr window to set the indoctrination in deep place. They do fkn jam tho!

Really great viewing. Had the strat for a couple of months after one year on the acoustic. Probably foolish of me to start having a look at Slash's welcome to the jungle a couple of days ago (no theory!), ill dream on! Great post guys.
Are masterclasses supposed to be for beginners? Out of the few vocal masterclasses I've been to they usually move forward with the assumption that you know at least the basics
@Javier Ibañez Mena yeah, in the video it seemed like they were confused about Tom Morello doing a master class cause they don't think he would ever teach beginners
I like seeing you guys doing some videos together. I had not played guitar yet today and watching you guys react to the practice made me go pick up my guitar. Played Bertha > Cumberland
@@coopertrooper8256 I had to moooooove
Tom gave the best lesson ever, create the habits of practice.
Cool video man I respect that at the level of playing that your at you still make sure you put in time to teach us beginners so just a big thanks🤘... this is random but would you ever do a lesson on big log by Robert plant?
Buckethead does the same exact thing. He records himself just playing stuff and even noodling and then goes back through it and find the great parts and expand on those.
Why wouldn't you? I mean...when you just come up with something off the top of your head and it's awesome, you've only played it maybe once or twice at that point. It's much easier to rewind a tape than try to remember 16/32/xx notes out of thousands that you played that day.
Great analysis! I’ve wondered about this masterclass also👍🏻☺️
mark tremonti is actually a great and generous guitar teacher
The caption was great!!!
Very funny! 😂
