Someone told me about this video and how I was mentioned a ton in the comments. I’m honored. I’ll be making a video soon in response to all of this. 🎸👍❤️🎸
Is this self promotion
@@Koalaz1
Maybe so, but it's fine by me, Mike's channel deserves more subscribers.
@@Koalaz1 if only you could add pictures in the comments...
Aye I was one of them
I was gonna bring you up, but I'm late to the party. Same goes to you though, I really prefer, both aurally and physically, the open chord way of playing enter sandman. I like how all the notes ring, without the unavoidable harmonics of fingered notes.
Now: Legendary licks that sound like the SpongeBob theme, because it is the SpongeBob theme.
That would be the drunken sailor
so, 10 minutes of SpongeBob guitar playing? I like you.
Legendary licks but its the Bee Movie
I think you're on the wrong channel, this sounds like a Kmac2020 video
Awesome show idea.
I thought the thumbnail said "MetallicA smells like John Mayer."

I remember when i was so hyped when big blue came out and dissapointed when i drank realized they taste perfectly the same just one is blue
Nick Maille wtf big red and big blue taste so fucking different omfg
He covered the enter sandman one as well although that might’ve been after this video was posted.
20 riffs you think are hard but actually are just pictures of different sandwiches

Awesome! That twisted my brain sufficiently! Cheers.
That made this video worth playing!
20 Riffs That Are So Good Because You Actually Wrote Them
Man I can't wait to see Legendary Licks You Think Are Easy But They're Hard But You're Playing It Wrong So They're Actually Easy Besides The Part Where They're Hard Which You Think Is Easy in 2020

What was that middle part?

Dudeee hahaha xDD
Notice how every single player from Clapton to this guy shows John Mayer the utmost respect.
Its because he is really good, and deserves all the respect he gets, contrary to the belief of some.
despite being a pop star, which many guitarist don't like, he is a guitar god who has composed so many amazing guitar riffs and melodies, like in neon
He may be a good guitarist, but his dick is a white supremacist.
@@bootyspoon4675 yeah a white supremacist who live by the blues, respect a lot BB king and had an Asian as a teacher. sounds kind of Nazy for me

legendary licks that you think are hard (because you play them wrong)
Ottima idea; non ci avevo pensato ;)
I think that the way he played the For Whom The Bell Tolls lick would fall into that category.
So like they're easier than you're making them? Like maybe under the bridge, thunderstruck, etc?
@@ryndanriley5348 definitely thunderstruck stop picking and just hammer and it gets so much easier
He's done it
I love this attention to detail. Not everyone hears music in such clarity. Great job.
5 legendary licks you thought were played on a guitar but were actually played on a Bagpipe
Korn?
Fuck yeah
do riffs that we pretend were playing right but we know were avoiding a very difficult section of it
yes, this should be a video

Yup that should include some Dream Theater riffs.

Fun licks you think are fun (because they're fun)
Tom Cello Fun licks you think are boring (because they are boring)
Idk if that makes sense or not lol
lol I get it
the riff in Tornado of Souls is really fun.
I always heard that sound in Teen Spirit when Kurt goes from 133 ADG (i don't know the names) power chord to the 466 EAD, but I always thought he slid from 355 EAD into the 466 power chord. Now that I hear it played with open strings, it puts something I've been wondering about for over 25 years to rest.
You should be using power chords of the notes F Bb Ab Db (you can find that online). No real sliding happening
@@emmywillow6599 Since the vid discusses it basically down to this level: the slide I think he's talking about is to get the "dah dah /open/ DUNduhduh" as you switch to the 4. He's saying he heard the open strings as a slide.
Depending on how messed up Kurt was, it's entirely possible (same with that stutter, it's all flavor). I had the same issue early on, before I learned to... coordinate my hands. Haha. Basically, earlier on, you feel less safe about leaving the fretboard with your left. If you don't pick your hand up, your fingers will rub the string, which will most likely pick up the low-E over the A or D. Hence, a slide which sounds passable to newbies.
And the song isn't really interesting after you learn it, unless you're into grunge. It's literally this riff and a phased 1-1 on the b-e strings. That's it. The whole point of grunge was to not be as intricate and "put together" as disco, hair metal, etc. Doesn't mean they weren't great musicians, or that it was just grunge that reacted like that. The Grateful Dead and Phish both do/did this. Pearl Jam. Philip Glass composed like this (as did his mentor, John Cage). Basically anyone you'd describe as "counter-culture". In the 90s they called it alternative, grunge when it was dirty and pop-punk when it was clean.
Or, to put grunge in today's (10 years ago's) perspective: "It all sounds auto-tuned!" or "Music today has no soul!" That's a whole other topic though. Haha. (By the by, Phish became the most successful indie band in history a few years ago. They played a 13-night run at MSG and sold out every night. If you're looking for real music, it ain't on the radio anymore. Last was maybe Amy Winehouse? Even Adele gets pitch-corrected.)
I would even put John Mayer in the alt category. He made his money playing saccharine pop songs, now he plays with Dead and Co. A lot of people hated him at first because all he could play was the pentatonic, and the Dead use... more than that. Better to have a jazz background, really. He still hits the "this isn't right" switch in my brain when he jams, but it works better if I think of it as a cover band, which it is.
John, if you see this: good lord, learn how Jerry used triplets. That's what you're missing.
Just stumbled on your channel and I’m hooked. I’m picking up the guitar again for the first time in about 20 years and I’m finding I need to relearn pretty much everything again. Which is where you come in, I get to learn correctly this time around 🤘🏽🎸. Thanks for the excellent content bro!

Hahaha so true with modern guitarist these days
Thunderstruck.
I actually really enjoyed this one, some riffs become so familiar as you play them and you just turned them back into the original riff, can't believe I've been playing power chords in sunshine of your love for like 10 years
Had someone tell me once I was playing teen spirit wrong with the open strings. Spent an hour of my intro to guitar class debating it with our class. I won
All the extra strings Kurt played were incidental.
Smells like victory

Great video / lesson. I don’t even play guitar and you had me thinking I could pull them off. I can tell you’re a fantastic teacher. Cheers!
Smells like teen spirit intro perfect details is found in a video by "art of guitar"..
@Novi yeah
Art of guitar is a great channel but he got it wrong. The “Cobain chord” isn’t in teen spirit, he only hit the extra string accidentally live because he was sloppy. The studio recordings don’t have the “Cobain chord” because mistakes were edited out & a perfect take was comp’d. The “Cobain chord” isn’t something he did intentionally, they’re mistakes he sometimes (but rarely) made live. They’re not on the studio recordings.
There's a video named something like "best riffs ever written" by tyler..did he play "smell like teen spirit" intro exactly like the correct way mentioned in this video?
Humayun Rashid same with enter sand man
The Cobain chord definitely is in Teen Spirit, the chord wasn't just a result of sloppy playing or of mistakes while playing live, it's just how he played bar/power chords since he never had a guitar teacher to properly instruct him and he found it to be easier. The Cobain chord just uses the index and ring finger to bar the strings, leaving out the pinky, which results in the distinct sound. When I first started playing guitar, that's what felt the most natural to me as well and it wasn't until I took lessons a few years later that I switched to the "proper" bar chord technique. Just listen to the isolated guitar tracks on Nevermind, it's everywhere (especially on the first 3 seconds of Teen Spirit).
Cobain started with an up stroke in the smells like teen spirit bc right before he started he was setting a spoon that he was holding down on the coffee table
Wonder what the spoon was for

after watching a whole lot of your videos over many months, i've finally subscribed. the reason for being so late is that i didn't want to see a cocky guitarist in my feed everyday. but now i'm sure that you're greatly talented and humble at the same time :)
this video helped me play my favourite song (teen spirit) from not knowing it to knowing it more than i could have ever asked for. favourite music youtube channel. keep it up mate.
Jesus Tyler, your tone is so good, man.
"barchords are easy!"
Me: "Ahhhhhhh!"
When I started learning bar chords I thought I found a good cheat then someone watched me play and complemented my technique for Hendrix's bar chords.
I know right
@DEEJMASTER 333 kinda I cannot do bar chords to save my life on acoustic
This is my favorite legendary licks entry. Thank you sir!
This is possibly one of the most useful videos you ever made, LOL
please make more of them.
Thanks for the insights on many of my old favorite riffs. I always played by ear and hence learned many things wrong, so now that I am 65 old habits die hard, damn it's hard to believe I'm 65 years old but I've been blessed to live through some of, if not THE best and most influential bands and musicians of all time. Back when talent was less reliant on technology and gadgetry and more on creativity and pure raw talent. I Now realize how influential some of my guitar idols really have been. They gave others so much to build on and in many cases become even better. However many in this generation still seem to forget the original talent that sparked the many newcomers abilities to improve upon the old and create the new. I am grateful for all those who are willing to post their talents here. One day I'll break out of my introverted self and post my own improvements after 30 years of doodling on and off, now that I'm retired and have more time! Thanks again all.
The way Tyler plays the opening to Sunshine of Your Love at 14:29 sounds better to me than the Clapton original. The crispness, attack, and tone in the way Tyler plays this opening part of the song take it to another level.
Incorrect
Disagree
Wrong, not even close to as good
To be fair, there's decades of tech improvements between now and when that song was written lol I wouldn't say it's better, just has that "new" or "modern" touch to it. So, different, not better. I like it, too though lol
I just found your channel and it's awesome! I've been playing for 23 years, but I'm completely self taught. I found that the way you played the Enter Sandman riff is absolutely correct, but I prefer to just play the g string open instead of playing the 5th fret on the d string. Then I don't have to twist my hand into a crazy shape to let that note ring and it also lets the 7th fret 5th string note to ring as well. Without professional instruction it took me forever to understand good hand placement and economy of motion, but those two things make a huge difference in actual consistent performance. The easier a movement is to do the more consistently you will do it correctly and thus have less to think about while playing. That extra time can be spent improvising or just focusing on keeping your timing right if you play with a band. Great channel, great content! Liked and subscribed!
This whole video is just being the “actually” guy.
Muchas gracias , me enseñaste a tocar como se debe y puedo decir que eres de los pocos verdaderos guitarristas que hay en youtube
I usually play Enter Sandman with a lightly picked open G. It sounds nearly identical to the recording and it's easier than the reverse power chord method
Hell yeah great vid! The other cool thing, is when you do covers for ppl, you can do the correct version up front and then do the "wrong" way mixed in there, and give a little sonic variety. The listener probably won't know, but your fingers will look different and look like you're doing the more.
I literally just fell in love with that last guitar you were using( btw the video was dope thx a lot!)
Upcoming next : Splendiferous Riffs you think are played in a major key but are in fact cantaloupes (and they will)
"Legendary licks you play them wrong (because of the tuning)"
Seriously, I've seen a lot of people tryin' to play songs like Yesterday, Kashmir, Come as you are, Sad but true, Toxicity, etc. as in the original recordings, but their guitars are always tuned to E Standard (or Drop D)... so, they get from pretty decent (but not correct) to horribly awful results...
Especially GNR and ACDC
For the intro to sad but true, you can get like 98% precise tone color in drop D if you play the G power chord barred with your ring finger on the D note an octave up and same with your pinkie on the G an octave up. So the shape you use is basically a double power chord or you could say a two octave power chord. Use that shape for G and A flat power chord and the rest should be self explanatory. The bridge to the verse is the only annoying part because I’m not sure if the notes used with just drop D are 100% accurate but basically open D power chord, pull off from c to open on A string, pull off from 7 to 6 on the drop D string, then pull off from 5 to open on the same string and play the open power chord again. Then again I’m not in a cover band nor do I plan on it so idk if guys like that truly pay attention to the details when they learn songs
What tuning is come as you are in then smartass?
@@johndoe2883 serious question because I'm new and would love to know
I think this is mainly a beginner problem in my opinion, but that is a great video topic anyway
This helps one to work the hearing, great video, man, thanks. I love details in music, I play simple songs but I like these little things that make a sum of differences that give you a certain style in music...
Brother..... you are one unique honest individual, it's refreshing to see someone who has a sense of humor as well as being egg-headed, in other words, you're smeert, lol. Have a good one, hope to see more of your videos, excellent job by the way.
You got enter sandman from the art of guitar channel, right?
Cought red handed? o.o
Well he's not wrong? That is actually how you okay Enter Sandman
Yeah, its fun to make up conspiracies though
Who said he's wrong I'm just saying someone already caught this nuance way back
2:00
Do more this videos! Brown Eyed Girl is one of the songs who everyone plays wrong. Money for Nothing from Dire Straits too! All Along the Watchtower, Hendrix version too. Nobody plays the intro rhythm and notes right!
People getting Money For Nothing wrong hurts my soul
I play those songs right, and I hate people who don't, they are really easy
Don’t forget this is the guy who gave Mark Knopfler a 6/10... so idk about him doing money for nothing
I'm in love with that blue Gibson 🤘🏼🔥
I’m 30 and remember when I was 15 getting a danelectro pedal. And I see you playing a danelectro guitar. My, how times have changed. Never would have thought
That pause in Teen Spirit that you noticed, I actually saw a UA-cam video that picked up on that as well. It was called the 7 Levels of Smells Like Teen Spirit.
My guitar teacher taught me Smells Like Teen Spirit the correct way and for that I am very thankful.
Excellent series, thank you!
Do more of these, I need to absorb all your knowledge
As much as I like your vidz, you're wrong, Art-of-guitar examined Smells Like Tenn Spirit very thoroughly.
I hear lots of fret buzz on that Danelectro. 😜
Wow. I love this video. Yep, little differences make thier songs more brilliant.
This is just...an awesome freaking video. Thank you!
The-Art-of-Guitar showed the space thing and the upstrokes you talked about with Smells Like Teen Spirit back in January
As soon as I saw that I was doing Enter Sandman wrong I immediately whipped out my guitar an started copying what he was doing
THEODDPLAYER some people are saying that it was played with an open g in the recording
Holy shot man you don’t even understand, I haven’t even picked up my guitar in months, and I literally was like wtf! I need to do this now and did the same, got up went and found my guitar and started trying, shit it’s hard but damn makes so much sense and sounds so much better! It’s inspired me to start playing against my start really learning new stuff and techniques and stop playing the same shit I learned 10 years ago over and over lmao
Same dude
You are the most down to earth person on UA-cam , Watched this video 30X.
Really liked this, thanks! I do have to say I was doing Sweet Home Alabama correctly however, after playing with a player who taught me the right way. Thanks for doing Sunshine of your Love.
5:34: Let's see if I can recognise it.
5:40: I have absolutely no clue..
5:42: I still have absolutely no clue... xD
Wow😰. John mayer was hot in 2000s
"7 levels of Teen Spirit" is a video that covers all this little parts
Yeah I think it would be really cool if you were to do another one I actually learned a couple things I just so happen to stumble upon you and this channel a month or so ago and I really enjoyed watching
I could listen to you embellish around Waiting on the World to Change (among plenty others I'm sure) until the end of time. Love your knowledge for music and your implementations of it. Respect subscribe
I truly feel like enter sandman is the metal version of smoke on the water. Damn near everybody plays it different than each other but nobody ever plays it the right way
Wow i actually learnt the sweet home alabama lick right that whole time. What a relief! Haha
The strat sounds amazing!
that strat sound..never gets old
Well, you can just say that you have compiled a lot of "art of guitar" videos in just one.
Art of guitar covered all
Of these details
Thank u soooo much.
All ur guitars r beautiful
During covid I bought a guitar because I watched ur videos but never had a guitar, you made me wanna learn
I'm so glad there are no stickers left in the strat my god
You forgot about something with smells like teen spirit. The way kurt plays power chords. He uses only his ring finger for the 5th notes. Therefor he always accidentally or not always plays more than just the 3 strings played in a regular power chord. It adds a lot to the sound
Yep that Bb on the 3rd fret of the G string is often subtly played on the initial F chord. He does that a lot with his power cords.
Okay! Subbed for the sheer fun of watching your presentation!
Nice stuff and great sense of dry humor!
I can't believe i've always played Sunshine of Your Love correctly, thinking that I was doing it wrong
I don't know what's worse all these years playing enter sandman wrong or playing enter sandman on a danelectro.........
neither
Definitely the playing it 'WRONG' part.
He should have shown how it can easily be played correctly using the thumb to cover the low A note.
5:17 on the B flat and the D flat , Kurt also played with his ring finger pressing down the D , G and B strings.
Sunshine of my love riff always morphs into Funky Town in my head 😂
I was trying to make through the day not hearing Sweet Home Alabama, but apparently UA-cam has become the new Guitar Center showroom.
3:48 Art of guitar saw it
Classy_Productions he probably found all of these examples. This guys been ripping people off and taking credit for years now
Dude your videos are great!
You are so damn legit, I learned the opening riff to Enter Sandman 12 years ago within 2 weeks of having first picked up the guitar, and have been playing it wrong this whole time.
Does any one else notice how often Tyler touches his volume knob
Jack Lynch ifkr
He likes squeezing nipples
If its distorted, you have to turn it down unless you want constant feedback from any small movement
Yeah he'll go blind/grow hair on his palms if he keeps doing that!
I do that all the time, switching the pickup to the same position that I already wanted, make sure the volume is all the way up, tone all the way up. I do that all the time
The open strings is the main part of that whole nirvana riff.
Whole Lotta Love. The 5th fret D note is slightly bent up while then open D is played giving it a chorus effect
LOL… I love those lessons, he’s so funny! And that smirk! I never get bored and listen even to musical stuff I don’t care about!
