    Hey! My name is Darryl Syms, and uh, well, I play guitar! I mean, I do a bunch of other cool things too - hopefully you can get to know me a little bit more through some of my videos.
    On this channel, I predominantly post instructional videos to help inspire and encourage like-minded guitar players. My goal is to help you expand your musical vocabulary, to broaden your understanding of music, and to entertain. There are already thousands of guitar related videos out there, but I try to set my videos apart from the usual by exploring a modern approach, and by simply being myself! 💁♂️
    Other than music, I have many other passions such as surfing, snowboarding, nutrition, advocating a vegan and sustainable lifestyle, yoga, photography, and a mixture of other things. Maybe you're interested in checking out my website: www.darrylsyms.com ✌️
    I hope you enjoy what I have to offer, and I look forward to growing as a musician with you!
    Thanks so much for reading! 💜

    This is a top lesson and I keep coming back to it to learn a bit more. Richie is a master of chromatic fills and he does it so elegantly. You have done a great job of working it out Darryl and I think the people who are giving the thumbs down just can’t do it instantly and they are not good enough mentally. You need time and patience to practice this stuff, it’s all part of being a musician. Keep going, you do a great job. 👍🤘🎸🌍✌️

    Thanks for this!!! I've yet to try to learn this. I'm worried with tap harmonic since Richie's using a 22 fret guitar. Ill try if the pickup can be hit though.
    The solo sounds easier because its melodic unlike this intro which you really nailed. Kudos and more power!!

    Finally, I was always looking forward to any quality Richie Kotzen lessons! One question though, I'd like to give this a try, but by using a pick? Would this be physically possible or there are licks/parts that can't be played with a pick?

    • @DarrylSyms
      @DarrylSyms  6 років тому +8

      🙌🙂 A pick works totally fine, no worries at all. In fact it would probably be easier for the majority. Finger picking at this speed is a challenge only some may want to discipline!

  • @ricardojorgeproenca
    @ricardojorgeproenca 6 років тому

    Great job Darryl ! Not sure, but in some parts seems that Richie is using a mixing of scales with some chromatic parts, not only B Pentatonic.

    • @DarrylSyms
      @DarrylSyms  6 років тому +1

      Perhaps, I didn't over analyse it but it's best not to think about it too much since it's at least clear that for the majority of the catchiest melodies that they're in Bm Pentatonic :)

    • @ricardojorgeproenca
      @ricardojorgeproenca 6 років тому +1

      Darryl Syms I agree, sometimes i see myself deeply analyzing songs, doesn't matter how the music works. The important thing is just feel the music and if a song sounds good to me. Anyway great job !

  • @cx777o
    @cx777o 6 років тому

    does the normal fingerstyle approach ( first three strings with the thumb and the last three with the next three fingers) work to play stuff like this? or are there different ways of applying fingerstyle technique to electric guitar? if so is there a good resource to get an introduction?

    • @DarrylSyms
      @DarrylSyms  6 років тому +1

      Not at all. This is not finger style, this is finger picking. Continuous alternating between the thumb and finger 👍
