    I got to meet him back stage after a concert. The thing I noticed the most is Ted likes Ted but I suppose that’s why he is Ted Nugent. His place in rock n roll is very large. Not all people can say they sold out arenas worldwide for several years & headlined the big major multi band shows. Truly the motor city madman

      He is a competent player, but his playing is sloppy and inconsistent -- not clean at all. And, his timing is also a little off. I could post 30 "amateur" UA-camrs who are significantly better and some of them are children.

      Like others, I've less regard for the person than the way he approaches the fretboard. The huge tone. He never quite got the same squawk with PRS. Glad he demonstrates on the Byrdland. There is no denying the man is his own element on rock's Periodic Chart. The fluidity of his left hand is almost a fretless style, and the masterful palm muting. We're getting schooled here.

    For those of us old enough to remember the late 70’s, Uncle Ted was the man. Back when rock was loud proud and FUN! As a live act goes Ted left it all on the stage. American Rock n’ Roll Icon of the highest possible order.

      Proud? This might be one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen, even if you ignore the weird sexism and lame jokes. That fact that he thinks "attituded" is the key to playing guitar, really shows in his playing. Just so we're clear, it's not good. If you honesty find him impressive don't worry, you'll get past the beginner stage one day.

Taking the bus down Grand River to the Masonic auditorium paying $3.50 to see Ted Nugent guitar battle Frank Marino & Wayne Kramer. Was fantastic! Ted Nugent live is the best you'll ever see or hear Ted Nugent,,, number one recording act,77-80.if you don't believe me, check out Cal jam 2.played live in front of 120,000 screaming fans..

Surpassing BANDS LIKE LED ZEPPELIN or any other groups Rolling Stones etc. Ted Nugent live was his best element to play, not only an outstanding performer but never a dull moment,,. Don't believe it,well believe the 120,00 fans,(the people) NUGENT WAS HEADLINER AT , CAL JAM 2,when NUGENT plays to more than $120,000 PEOPLE.

    If anyone is interested...I did some searching and I think when Ted said he uses a 52 pick, and mentioned that it's thin, I believe he's referencing a 0.52mm thickness pick which converts to 0.02" or 20 thousandths of an inch. I found an 0.026" (0.66mm) thickness pick in my guitar stuff...and it's pretty thin. I tried using the side edge like Ted and wouldn't ya know, I can chug on the A string much faster than when I use the side of the pick. Thanks for the tip Ted!!! Ted Nugent for President!!!!
    Edit: I'm watching this again because it's so great and at around 12:20 when he's using his vice grip finger as a slide he's got the biggest smile. Guitar makes me smile too, and so does Ted!!! Vote red or we'll all be dead!

    I’ve heard many ppl throughout the yrs saying, never meet your idols, they’ll only disappoint you. Not true, I met Ted back in 1990, and we became instant friends. I had NO expectations, therefore I was NOT disappointed. He is who he is, and will NEVER apologize for it. He is very passionate about his beliefs. He is the same person OFF stage as he is on stage, and I love that about him. He does talk too much, and I can deal with that, LMFAO!!!! But that’s Ted. I’ve been a fan since 1968 with the Amboy Dukes, and I’m still a fan to this day, and a friend for the past 33yrs. My point, don’t expect anything when meeting your idols. Accept them for WHO they are, and you won’t be disappointed.
    And for those that don’t know, that’s Michael Lutz from Brownsville Station on bass.

    People today I don't think understand how hard it was to get good at guitar pre UA-cam. You had to listen to records over and over stopping and playing, trying to get the notes right. There were no tutorials, no good ones at least, and you had to really really love it too keep going. And to not only master guitar, but to become an artist, creating guitar parts and songs, that has to be something one was destined to do. Today, almost anyone can become a guitar player. Including me!

    The first time I saw Sweaty Teddy in concert. He opened the show by standing on a platform above his amp stack, and he jumps off the platform, flying thru the air, lands on stage in a quasi-splits pose and strikes the first chord of the show and the place goes wild, all 12,000 of us. Ted is one of the GOAT’s

Not my kinda thing anymore, but this instructional video is GOLD. Hysterical parody of himself and he knows it, loves it, and completely nails it.

      Yes! His right hand was the first thing I noticed...well, after the "wench." Most of the guitar greats have said over and over to "watch the right hand, THAT is where the REAL playing happens." I always try, but then I almost always shift over to the left! I think this is the first time I've ever been able to watch a guitar player's RH the entire time. The second thing I noticed was what he said later in the video, which was that he's "gentle" with his right. I think I noticed it because I just heard the same thing about Angus Young from his guitar tech. It's true, but Uncle Ted here is visibly more so than Angus.

      Not sure what style you play but I’d tend to agree with that myself . I just can’t seem to comfortably use the really thick picks. I can’t seem to get a feel for how hard or soft I’m picking and especially when I’m playing faster stuff the control just isn’t there for me with a too thin or too thick of a pic. I love metal guitar the best ( but also love blues , classical , instrumental only guitar centred bands or solo players ( Joe Satriani-USA , Angel Vivaldi - USA I think , Andy James- british , Distant Dream -they are amazing/ from Poland , Widek- from Poland also , Hubris , God is an Astronaut and a few others ) and also most heavier types of hard rock ) because they don’t slip when you sweat ( I always liked the strange or special kind of plastic they use ) Ever since the first time I tried one my friend had when I was 18 ( I’m 51 now) I’ve always used Dunlop -Tortex orange .60 mostly. or occasionally the thicker Dunlop- Tortex yellow .73. For me anyways anything under or over that thickness just either doesn’t feel right or flex enough or it’s way to much on the thin side and it’s too floppy enough to really dig in and get a good pick attack on the choppy heavy riffs . I like the pick slightly thick but still pretty flexible, if I need to make it flex or just be stiffer I just change the choke pinch point on it. I think my ultimate pick would be in between the orange and yellow thickness a Dunlop Tortex .66/ or .67 but far as I know they don’t make them …

He went to see Fleetwood Mac at the Tangerine 🍊 bowl with his friends and waited tell everyone left and picked up at least a hundred joints and a few Red devils, Quaaludes and a vile or two of coke. After that him and his friends would split all the drugs get drunk and have a massive party.

And Neither was I That's why, we can talk about it every now and then about that show in 2003 in Orlando at the Amway Center before they tore it down. I will always cherish that I kept the two ticket 🎟️ Stubs. I also has my high school Graduation there in May of 2004. Had my 15 seconds of fame and walked the stage infront of 5,000-7,000 onlookers I was very nervous but, I had to do it. Thank God I did. That's all you got in life is memories good or bad they can't take that away for you. Something you can learn from and move on which are Bad Memories. Or something you can be proud about and think about cherish and proudly talk about
    Those ar are good memories. I talked a little to long but, it was about Ted Nugent and a good night I remember 18 years ago with my dad. Thanks for hearing me out. If you got some good Sweaty uncle Teddy or ZZ Top or just any concert's you remember having a good time stores. I would really like to read them. Take care of yourself s.

      I seen Ted and ZZ Top I believe the same year. It was the riverfront stage in Philly. I don't think it's even there anymore. Was an awesome concert!

    I only just discovered this video. And thank God I did!! This and the one Ted made for Facebook a few years ago have enabled me to get into his mind. The mind behind the licks. I jam every day and I jam every night, practising till I know all the licks. And I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown; don't know the meaning of quit!! Thanks Ted. I'm 68 this year and you're still my guitar hero!!

    If you ever encounter a woman who has that “look” in her eyes, like Teddy boy does here.... run. Run fast and far away. Don’t look back.

      Excellent observation. Seems to even be a little similarity in some of the faces they make.
