Another trick is taking your pic and bending the A and D strings into a full loop around and then pushing the pic to the fifth frey. It then sounds like a bell.
You NEED divebombs in your life... Awesome When I was a youngster in the late 70's early 80's, I learnt a great trick... I had 3 Marshall full stacks, what else??? and the obligatory 70's curly cable with huge heavy duty jack plugs on... Now at that time we were only just learning stagecraft, you had to look cool and have a great stance, we were bedroom hero's guys!!! It was one of the first big gigs I played. The intro music played, the dry ice was pumping out, the lights came up and we hit real hard the opening BIG E, not the usual E, the BIG E.... I had my flying v neck gripped tight and howled like a wolf and ran forward to the monitors... I suddenly learned you are supposed to wrap your cable through the handle on top of your amp... A simple trick, but very useful! As I ran forward, the jack pulled out of the front of my Marshall and catapulted through the air hitting me square in the back of the head and killing my BIG E1!!!!! My sound went dead and I fell on the floor like I'd been shot and farted! What a star! I so wish we had this kind of tuition when I started out playing. Thank you very much Mr. Baker for your hard work and tutorials, even us oldies are still learning
hey Rob here's something I do. I'm sure i'm not the only one. play a note in whatever scale you are playing and bend it up to what ever's cool, then tap on some higher note and bend that up (then down) as well. and if you want you can pull off all notes in a decending pattern. but you have to deaden the strings pretty quick after or its noisy. works best pulling off three notes for me. if you read this hope you have a go and make it loads more effective than I will ever get it to. oh yeah I think you need more guitars.
last time I was practicing a crazy trick I stuck my Ibanez gio's body into the ceiling fan Its funny because people think I'm joking when I tell this story but i'm not. seriously theres a big chip in the back right behind the output jack ps great video rob my trick book has been going a little stale lately
no but that would have been a better idea I saw Zakk Wylde do it in a solo in a video from the 80's. If you click on my channel, scroll down to popular uploads and click "Crazy high school guitarist" the first thing you see on the video is what I was practicing (it was totally worth the chip in my Ibanez tho and I sound like a total @#$%bag with this self promotion and sry for writing a book :)
the wammy bar thing you can also do with a slide. i make a sound that mimics a spring peeper/chorus/grey tree frogs we have here in pennsylvania with a slide🐸🍻
Tanx for taking the time to show us some tricks 🤘🏽 That 1st trick that you stole from Pete Thorne who stole from Phil X originated from Rory Gallagher.
The first time I heard trick #2 was from one of the solos from Aerosmith's version of "train kept a rollin'". The studio musician that pulled it off stumped me for years until UA-cam got popular. Awesome video!
A trick I like to do is to bend a string, tap onto a higher note and use my finger to bend the note a tiny bit more. This only works if the the first note is below the 12th fret
The train sound and the wild horse sound, alien sounds are classics and good to have in ones vault of craziness. Alien sounds of course are better with a delay and occasionally a flanger. Good video man!
Great tips, tricks bro! I will try them out!! I always wanted to figure out how Joe Satriani does that high pitch squeal using his whammy and maybe a harmonic near the bridge pickup. 🤘🏼😎🎸
Happy Halloween Robert , cool video!! I wanted to add in on that middle section where you use your Trem arm and scrape the strings (you reference dragon force)....I also heard that in the song “feed my Frankenstein” from Alice Cooper during the solo section. I always wondered what that was and your video made me finally figure it out. Thanks!
Absolutely love that guitar !! Is that a tobacco burst?? Can you tell exactely what colour that is, ..... I've been looking for that,.....can;t find it. Cheers, John.
cool stuff. the randy rhoads trick is awesome. but there is another way to achieve that. fret the note with left hand and tap with right hand and simple bend with the left. maybe it doesn’t look as cool but gets the job done. anyhoo. killer stuff. 🤘🏽🎸🤘🏽
IM SURE IVE SEEN MATT BELLAMY DO DIVE BOMBS LIVE! I never knew what he was doing (thought he was swinging the guitar around as per usual) but, OH LORD, HE WAS DOING A SECRET WHAMMY MOVE!!
First 2 definitely Jimmy Page inspired, he just bent the string behind the nut with his right hand. He uses it in the Lemon Song solo for example, among others.
I like to hit an open string, put the guitar on a stand, then do an interpretive dance around the guitar. Crowds love it.
This
This but unironically
Me: ok perfectly in tune and ready to go.
Also me: DIVEBOMBS
Mr. Metalhorse that perfectly describes me.

right before doing it, did you look into your go pro and say "this must be done...all in one motion"
no but that would have been a better idea I saw Zakk Wylde do it in a solo in a video from the 80's.

I did that with my squire mini strats headstock by accident
That a why I play with mine off😂
Gio????? LOL, a 30 dollar guitar, I hope the fan was okay
Randy does that trick on Over The Mountain where he trills and yanks on the string with his right hand.
the wammy bar thing you can also do with a slide. i make a sound that mimics a spring peeper/chorus/grey tree frogs we have here in pennsylvania with a slide🐸🍻

Solid tricks + nice video 👌 well done as always!
The train sound and the wild horse sound, alien sounds are classics and good to have in ones vault of craziness. Alien sounds of course are better with a delay and occasionally a flanger. Good video man!
The scratches on that les Paul shouldn’t be scary. They show that someone really loves to play their guitar.
You continue to crack me up! Thanks for the awesome info...🤘
Not the same old guitar tricks. I learned new stuff!!! Thanks man!
Great tips!
Great tips, tricks bro! I will try them out!! I always wanted to figure out how Joe Satriani does that high pitch squeal using his whammy and maybe a harmonic near the bridge pickup. 🤘🏼😎🎸
Happy Halloween rob you help my playing so much so I thank you for that
Robert can you do a video of how to play cathedral

maybe it doesn’t look as cool but gets the job done.
anyhoo. killer stuff.
🤘🏽🎸🤘🏽
The third(?) - tap the string to the pickup and use bar - trick is from Brad Gillis before Reb Beach, I think.
Some great tricks Robert, some might say treats (see what I did) 😊
Shame I don’t have a whammy bar on my Les Paul though.
I like the purple guitar with the maple fretboard
IM SURE IVE SEEN MATT BELLAMY DO DIVE BOMBS LIVE! I never knew what he was doing (thought he was swinging the guitar around as per usual) but, OH LORD, HE WAS DOING A SECRET WHAMMY MOVE!!
So THAT'S how Randy did it!!! COOL!!! That spaceship sound sounds like the Jetsons, LOL. You rock, man. Righteous, vid! \m/
Robert rocking the Musketeer look.. En garde, varlet!
Tricks good one Robert
Really cool tricks thanks for this
Love the video Robert! 👍👌
Well that was just fun!
You need to break out the violin bow. Love to see what you do with it.
Props for mentioning reb beach man!
Great upload!
Bro, you're a whammy bar beast!
what is the bridge called on the purple guitar?
The first and last are phil x tricks. I think phil got the first one from Jimmy Page
Probably
Kim Thayil also bends behind the nut.
Jake E Lee bends behind the nut as well.
Yep, that sounds bluesy but what's that whirring noise? Oh yeah it's B B King spinning in his grave.
Nice collection Robert, love your content
Mr. Baker, what is that outtro song at the end of the vid? I like it!!
What amp you're using?
One guitar... one trick!!! Cool
whats that green led amp?
Have you ever tried "mystical harmonics"?
I like your danelectro
what about mean street intro?
what did you play at the beginning?
That was just some improv riff
Happy Halloweeeen Rob!! Every day your starting to look like Dimebag lol
0:23 , dropped my like just because of that intro
First 2 definitely Jimmy Page inspired, he just bent the string behind the nut with his right hand. He uses it in the Lemon Song solo for example, among others.
You rock🤙🤘
Digging the facial hair man!
Cool
a g g r e c i o u s
Lesson on sweep picking?
On the second one: I use my index finger to bend the string as i used my ring finger... so I’m guessing this is just for showmanship?
I was expecting the trill on the lower strings while sliding your palm up and down the strings with your right like Eddie used to do
Another trick is to trow your guitar off the window and when it reaches the ground it makes like a SPLANGGGG
Riff city!
Frank Hannon used to do a “poor man’s whammy” on his LP by detuning the Low E String very quick...
what kind of Gibson it is please ?
Gibson Les Paul KM 1979
Correct me if I'm wrong Rob:-)
prehistoric pigeon no it’s a reverse v
Trip are for kids. Still love that outro song. You need to make that into a full track.
Less of a guitar high five and more of a head(stock) bang
Thanks you just taught an old dog new tricks.
Skeeter I love you
Jeez, I think I dicovered the second one myself
Randy Rhoads came up with the first one
Dude what do you do for a living?? So much expensive gear
*tricks* or treat :)
1sn't
The meme is dead bruh
You're in every video I watch
Saqib Shabir that means you only watch good vids.
@@DavidNwokoye True haha!
I did the first one with a acoustic and almost burned the house down
great play just too smart and fast teaching for me and most likely a few others not being rude js some of us are slow.
Imagine what he would look like with his hair cut
lmfao
lol i thought about what i wanted to say then laughed at it in a comment XDDD
You look like ted nudgent lol
That one sexy beard dude
ok joe dirt calm down
unclear to which strings you are bending.
Guitar Trix
Lol
i am always afraid to bend that much, cuz i cant afford strings :(
