I can never thank you enough for these lessons David.. I am 49 years old so I grow up with all the music you cover in your lessons. Great lessons and great playing.
Huge Saraceno fan David. I remember being a kid and being really into shred like Satch, Yngwie, Vai, Lynch, DeMartini. I saw Blues constantly advertised in the guitar magazines. I picked up Never Lock Back which had some great shred songs. But then I bought the Plaid Album which was killer because Blues was so focused on melody and just making catchy riffs and overall song quality.
Such an overlooked period in the history of the band. I saw the Native Tongue tour with Kotzen and it was mind blowing...but I would have loved to see Blues with them as well.
Most memorable solo he did with a.24th fret bend. I had that tab but never attempted learning it because none of my guitars had 24 frets lol. Great solo though.
Have to admit I am not really familiar with him, but my favorite guitarist right now (Brandon Ellis) says he loves him. Looking forward to the lesson and to broaden my horizon. Cheers David!
Great vid. I never heard anything by Saraceno aside from the bumper music he created for that History Channel (?) show "the Men Who Made America", which was very cool. Otherwise, he was some guy on a lot of guitar mag covers with a bunch of plaid stuff -- but he wasn't in any band, really, so I always wondered what the big deal was. One cool thing about your vids is that you give a little detail about each guitarist so that those who aren't in the know about them actually learn something. :-) Peace.
Priceless comments from both of you and yes Dave give us that hair reveal take the cap off after 50k 😅🤟 glad I subscribed myself to his patreon as well once this lockdown started ! Dave is the bro teaching guitar guru I wish I had when I started playing🙏🤙
Blues is just Super tasty and fat tones, hardly a flashy player. And a cool Yamaha player too, just like Michael Lee Firkins and Bill Leverty. Good stuff.
Thank you David for this lesson on this awesome player. I will never give away my 2 Blues Saraceno CD's. Loaded with smart bluesy licks he displayed immens musicality combined with technique. Kind of the same with Vito Bratta from White Lion. Both guitarists are to me in the same league.
Hey brother, can you do a similar video about CC's days in Poison. A lot of people used to criticize me because I liked his playing, but CC's playing taught me a lot about lead playing when I was younger. It would be much appreciated Dave... Thanks much brother.
I'd have to say that would be a pretty cool tasty little bluesy shreddish trifecta Dave... Richie, Blues and C.C. You got my vote👍 I for one think C.C. has some very cool licks! Thanks Dave for having the best channel out there🤘
I got a 375 last week. It cost me £400 and is near mint. The person I got it from had kept it under the bed for years and didn't play guitar anymore. I love it. I've had several of that era and this is one of my favourites. I do need to change the neck pickup though as to me it's not very good
Blues is awesome. I remember he did a clinic tour after releasing the Plaid album. I was so blown away that he came all the way down here to South Florida. I got to see him in a smaller guitar shop so I was able to grab a front tow seat. Very down to earth and cool dude.
Hi David, I was wondering if you could do a video on warming up (stretching), overall posture, placement of thumb etc. to avoid injury or prevent pain.
You know you had mentioned Blues not having a lot of time to learn the material to go on tour to fill in and that reminded me of Brad Gillis on the Speak of the Devil Album! He was in a time crunch too and played amazing! You should do some licks from that!
Totally unrelated to Poison. I think it might be time to give Michael Lee Firkins a spotlight. His 1st Shrapnel record is still one of my favorites ! Just a thought. All the best !
Kotzen vs Saraceno vs DeVille. Best series you've got goin! Their styles are extremes from each other, and very interesting! but If i only had one more wish to go for...i'd pick Saraceno's style.
Definitely would like you to do something with C.C Deville in it. He had three gr8 albums with POISON that put them on the map. Plus he beat out Slash for becoming the guitarist.
*David I hope you see this msg* David amazing job here ! The dude has too much killer material/solo albums, instrumentals to choose from! . *Also* speaking of shrapnel records cant help but see your new ish article on *Michael lee firkins* you posted last month so Fck ya MLF getting the spotlight finally thank you David!! He's no Ynwie but a unique shredder in such an untouchable way: *laughing stacks* *black Betty cover* *hula hoops* *cactus cruz* *rain in the tunnel* *carless sonata* All prove how criminally underrated he is as not only an instrumental legend but his melodies and themes are more composer esque than any of the other guys in the shrapnel label/era I'd argue! . *does this give us all a hint hint* that 3 dirty MLF licks are coming down the pipe next dave ?! Hoping that means yes haha ive been looking forward to seeing you do him justice since I found your channel a year ago man ! . Thanks again for all your awesome content and cheers from Niagara falls canada! Hope yourself and everyone here stays safe and healthy 😊🙏🤟 - Adam
@Nicholas Engler and Xaivier YES guys I agree the GOAT! *Criminally* underrated player who proved with his debut shrapnel album that he could hang with the other guys on label! *Ive tabbed out one MLF lick from his video in the 90s* on soundslice.com just search it and it should come up it's a free video tab player on their kind of like guitar pro but synced with the video so if you guys wanna learn some licks check it out I'm trying to bring as many MLF licks to light as I can during quarantine! more will be uploaded on there 🤟🤙
@@xavierortiz2690 yes Xavier I love the build up in the intro to that one , *laughing stacks and hula hoops* have to be my favourites turned my head the first time I heard them both they were both so different!
Huge Firkins fan. I don't understand how he was not more popular. One of the most incredible and most creative players ever with his techniques. The way he mixed blues, shred, rock, country, I mean he is the ultimate player.
Definetly gotta give CC some love ❤️ he’s a highly underrated player and a stellar human being. He also wrote the hits and built the band. You gotta see him play live. He’s an animal !
ua-cam.com/video/z0nqv0bO91E/v-deo.html Transmission OK album one of my all time favourites! I did get an official copy on cd back in the day. This youtube clip shows him playing some ideas that later made it onto Transmission OK 😷👍
Love the lessons. Blues is my favourite player of all time, his playing on Crack A Smile was sick. You can tell it’s him playing from just one note. Such an individual player. Thank you for doing these.
Kotzen fan before Poison. fired,,,,yes, know that, too (bags thrown over a chain link fence). Blues,,, some guitar company, Yamaha, Ibz offered some models. I never bothered. Tone here is good, though.
I can never thank you enough for these lessons David.. I am 49 years old so I grow up with all the music you cover in your lessons. Great lessons and great playing.
$$$ only
He's the teacher I always wanted when I was a kid but never had.
I think Blues is one of the more underrated guitarists from that era, such a tasteful player.
Exactly Budgie also comes to mind as well as an underated band..
I can never quite wrap my mind around that Kotzen and Saraceno played with Poison.
The money was good
Why...they wanted a bigger stage , cash and spotlight.
Huge Saraceno fan David. I remember being a kid and being really into shred like Satch, Yngwie, Vai, Lynch, DeMartini. I saw Blues constantly advertised in the guitar magazines. I picked up Never Lock Back which had some great shred songs. But then I bought the Plaid Album which was killer because Blues was so focused on melody and just making catchy riffs and overall song quality.
Enjoyed the Kotzen and Blues lessons. Looking forward to trying these licks.
Great job David... Best I've come across ...Thank you for taking the time to get it right!
Saraceno’s vibrato is quite unique and full of energy! Always loved it!
absolute joy to watch
David is covering some Saraceno licks....I dont even have to see the video to press the like button....!!!
Such an overlooked period in the history of the band. I saw the Native Tongue tour with Kotzen and it was mind blowing...but I would have loved to see Blues with them as well.
Cool licks! I met Blues in Tallahassee FL. at a Clinic. Nice guy and great player! Good job with these licks!
Poison’s absolute best work, crack a smile is very underrated
No way.
That belongs to Flesh N Blood.
CC's life goes on solo is my favorite 😁
It was one of my favorites too brother.
Most memorable solo he did with a.24th fret bend. I had that tab but never attempted learning it because none of my guitars had 24 frets lol. Great solo though.
Great solo. Don’t care what anyone says - his tones on that album are phenomenal. Period.
Great Album. Flesh & Blood is definitely their best work.
That is the reason I learned how to play guitar
Love that solo.
great lesson love Blues Saraceno...
Saraceno is the best poison guitarist....crack a smile is so fantastic with your guitar touch!!!!
You're a freaking badass dude. A joy to listen to and watch. Great vibrato, chops and smooth, clean playing. Glad I found your channel.
Was never a fan but I am now. 👍 Your sound blows me away.
Have to admit I am not really familiar with him, but my favorite guitarist right now (Brandon Ellis) says he loves him. Looking forward to the lesson and to broaden my horizon. Cheers David!
Awesome! More Blues plz!! It’s a huge gap on UA-cam.. there’s a big opp to fill the need by creating a lot more content!
Such an underrated player. Hardly anyone mentions him in the best player lists but he is excellent.
You never fail to inspire!!!
Hairpick is one my favorite recordings ... Fat Padding, Stinky Kitty ... between Blues and Dweezil ... they took shred to a different level
Great vid. I never heard anything by Saraceno aside from the bumper music he created for that History Channel (?) show "the Men Who Made America", which was very cool.

Proud to say that im now supporting through patreon. Best guitar teacher online bar none. Also have we ever seen David Brewster without a cap?
in 'almost' the words of Davie504 - "no hat reveal at 50k subs" : )
Priceless comments from both of you and yes Dave give us that hair reveal take the cap off after 50k
😅🤟 glad I subscribed myself to his patreon as well once this lockdown started ! Dave is the bro teaching guitar guru I wish I had when I started playing🙏🤙
@@Ratso_DeLynch yes at am I agreewe need videos like we have now back then it was pick up a needle and move it back on the album a hundred times lol
Yeah man I’m a huge fan of Saraceno too! Excellent!
Love these Three-for-all lessons! Saraceno has always had some tasty licks. Would love to see a Richie Sambora lesson
Blues is just Super tasty and fat tones, hardly a flashy player. And a cool Yamaha player too, just like Michael Lee Firkins and Bill Leverty. Good stuff.

Thanks for this lesson! Blues is a monster guitarist.
This combo (on the same tour) is really clever, original idea... thanks!
great hands man, sounds great!
Who would have thought poison would land Kotzen and Blues as a guitarist. I love them both.
Why wouldn't they ?
Saraceno = Conviction. Love that word David, it does feel that way when I hear him play. Thanks for the lessons!
Hey brother, can you do a similar video about CC's days in Poison. A lot of people used to criticize me because I liked his playing, but CC's playing taught me a lot about lead playing when I was younger. It would be much appreciated Dave... Thanks much brother.

Dear Sir. Your vibrato is excellent.
Me again Dave ...wanted 2 say thank you for the last two lessons ...I have been looking for stuff like this !!
I got a 375 last week. It cost me £400 and is near mint. The person I got it from had kept it under the bed for years and didn't play guitar anymore. I love it. I've had several of that era and this is one of my favourites. I do need to change the neck pickup though as to me it's not very good

Nice job as always. Let those delays ring out. Sounds great. CC was one of my favorite lead players
Hi David, I was wondering if you could do a video on warming up (stretching), overall posture, placement of thumb etc. to avoid injury or prevent pain.
Going to have to pull out the old Morley power wah boost!! 🤘🤘
Awesome as always
Kool bluesy licks again, keep them comin,maybe some Mark Kendall licks from Great White would be kool also ,keep on rockin 80s hair metal.
You know you had mentioned Blues not having a lot of time to learn the material to go on tour to fill in and that reminded me of Brad Gillis on the Speak of the Devil Album! He was in a time crunch too and played amazing! You should do some licks from that!
You did miss the Never Look Back album which was Blues's debut...some crazy shredding on it.
Man you're on fire !
I think your releasing 3 vids a week now...keep then coming!
Awesome job!
Ty! 👍❤️
🍺’ski thank you another good one.Can you get out that Paul & do a Dickie Betts 3 for all? Best guitar channel hands down!🤘
great video man.that lick you plat at 8:27 is a lick i use a lot too but i got it from Tony Iommi at the end of NIB : )
David, love your lessons! There is one guitarist I would like to see you do a lick lesson and chordplay on, Danny Stag of Kingdom Come.
Lost touch with poison after, flesh & blood.
Hearing about these two albums has spiked my interest again.
Great lesson ! May I ask where you found the footage of Blues Saraceno with Poison ? Thank you !
Is that a Behringer V-Ampire i'm seeing in the background? The only modeling amp I've ever been able to get close to the Saraceno tone with...
Man, i wish you could do more of his licks. Nonetheless good job 👍
Alright B🐓!
Even CC getting some love.
I do like CC's live tone, has a lot of balls!
when will u come out with lick lessons digital downloads!
Totally unrelated to Poison. I think it might be time to give Michael Lee Firkins a spotlight. His 1st Shrapnel record is still one of my favorites ! Just a thought. All the best !
Great video, love to hear some CC .
Most of open up and say ahh was cool fave song was fallen angel nice melodic solo
Thanks David! Bonus lick has to be from Your Mamma Don't Dance?
Kotzen vs Saraceno vs DeVille. Best series you've got goin! Their styles are extremes from each other, and very interesting! but If i only had one more wish to go for...i'd pick Saraceno's style.
Deville smashes both.
And I love all 3.
Definitely do some CC stuff !
My favorite solo was in the song on the cover of the rolling stone.
Definitely would like you to do something with C.C Deville in it. He had three gr8 albums with POISON that put them on the map. Plus he beat out Slash for becoming the guitarist.
Are you going to eventually do a 3 Licks video for C.C. DeVille?
*David I hope you see this msg* David amazing job here ! The dude has too much killer material/solo albums, instrumentals to choose from!

*Also* speaking of shrapnel records cant help but see your new ish article on
*Michael lee firkins*
you posted last month so Fck ya MLF getting the spotlight finally thank you David!! He's no Ynwie but a unique shredder in such an untouchable way:
*laughing stacks*
*black Betty cover*
*hula hoops*
*cactus cruz*
*rain in the tunnel*
*carless sonata*
All prove how criminally underrated he is as not only an instrumental legend but his melodies and themes are more composer esque than any of the other guys in the shrapnel label/era I'd argue!

@@xavierortiz2690 Tough call between Rain In The Tunnel, Deja Blues, and Space Crickets as my favorite MLF songs.
Love that plaid guitar. I remember seeing it in a magazine years ago. Was it a signature version or something?
Do you do skype lessons or anything like that? If so i'd be super interested.
Definetly gotta give CC some love ❤️ he’s a highly underrated player and a stellar human being. He also wrote the hits and built the band. You gotta see him play live. He’s an animal !
What model is that green Yamaha ?
Don't forget about Impellitti!!!
player Michael Lee Firkins?
Check out Blues with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker
David ..please ,please please ....can you do some Tony Iommi ... Heaven or Hell or Mob Rules stuff
see if you can find TRANSMISSION OK...Blues Saraceno and his band....FOR PROMO ONLY...not for sale.....some very cool songs
ua-cam.com/video/z0nqv0bO91E/v-deo.html
Transmission OK album one of my all time favourites! I did get an official copy on cd back in the day. This youtube clip shows him playing some ideas that later made it onto Transmission OK 😷👍
Dan Toler Lesson from Great Southern band, flatted 5th licks
DDT was a damn fine player live
yes very tasty, I hope he does a lesson on Dan Toler soon

Tone here is good, though.
Please consider Cinderella Tom Kiefer
Add more Joe Bonamassa and Eric Johnson Cascading Pentatonic’s please!!!
Blues Saraceno was in Poison ? You will be telling me Axel Rose was in AC/DC and Ian Gillan joined Black Sabbath next 😂😂😂🤔
I had “hair pick” and loved it & learned it when I was 15 or 16. Such a smooth and expressive player... so tasty. Thanks for doing this!
Cobra Kai Never Dies!
Jake e Lee ala Badlands please
Waiting for C C DEVILLE?? You can not forget about C C.....
Awesome! More Blackmore, please (80s and 90s licks) Greetings from Argentina
Imagine going from CC to these 2 guys...
CC will be interesting. Haven’t listened to any since the early 90’s but I remember him sounding like a big Randy Rhodes fan.
They have nothing on u Dave
Ritchie was fired for hitting on the drummers wife. That is how you get dumped out of a bus in the middle of nowhere.
Cobra Kai
Getting fired from Poison? Really? Haha.
Note to new guys... "Don't shag the lead singers girl!"
It was the drummer's girl. A step higher than the bassist's girl I guess.
tonepoet I’m a bassist. What’s this concept of a girl?
