    You know this is good when the internet trolls can't even criticize the playing and are moaning about the fretboard needing a clean.

    • @ToddNorthcutt
      @ToddNorthcutt 5 років тому +4

      This is a fantastic performance but... the lighting on the fretboard does emphasize the nastiness as much as his fingers.

      Ben G lick library did a fine job on this tune. I can really appreciate it. Eric Johnson, we can learn from him!
      "PEWDIEPIE OUR INSPIRATION" that is the name of my latest
      UA-cam video. I used a Beatles song to get my ideas going.

    There are many great guitarists covering this tune on UA-cam. This player has the audible control over his guitar. He has a ceiling (a speed above this) tempo, this allows him to play the guitar with control (audio and visual). "99% of what you play is visual", Stephan Robinson, Stetson University. This player's hands, like his fretboard show the countless hours playing. A+ OUTSTANDING!!!

  • @AlefSousa017
    @AlefSousa017 Рік тому +7

    I'm always amazed at how effortless Rick's playing looks. No tension at all in any of the hands, it looks like his left hand is just gliding and softly touching each string and fret, never seen anyone with such impeccable technique, simply amazing!

    • @ESPSJ
      @ESPSJ 11 місяців тому +1

      He actually has a really good lesson on tension. He mentions to only use the bare minimum amount of left hand, finger tension. So you only hold the string tight enough so the note doesn't choke, but no tighter. It's why the best guys around make it look so effortless.

      its called a single coil lol. I dont think its that hard to replicate, just need an amp with some type of tubescreamer with it and of course a single coil. theres also a lot of videos of EJ showing his rig and amp settings where he tends to dial down the treble, but I play with my treble pretty high on my amp and it sounds close

Having to go back and listen 100 times to learn some of your stuff has helped me learn things like the solo to regret #9. After that I really don't see why I can't play this so I started learning it from this video and I already have all the notes in the intro down but my E string just couldn't take that bend any longer. Thanks Rick, for showing me how to use this damn thing for more than campfire songs.

  • @Guitar387
    @Guitar387 7 років тому

    I've got the dvd and rick graham does a pretty good job on it . My only gripe (and its a big one) is that he doesn't go into what the right hand does, he teaches you the left hand but it would of been better if he taught you the right hand up and down strokes and what's alternate picked and what is hammered on or off .Its a real shame he skipped this , because the opening two pentatonic runs are too tricky to play at speed without knowing what your right hand is doing .
