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.
Agreed, I grew up in the Detroit area and started playing guitar in 1974, Ted was a very big deal locally. He was also the reason that in 1976 I purchased a brand new Twin Reverb!

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!!!!

the first time i saw him was at the height of his career. AC/DC (with Bon Scott) opened. Still one of the best shows I've ever been to (and it's been a lot of shows).
I saw him with KISS for their "Crazy Nights" tour in Pittsburgh. I never seen such a high-energy performance, it almost ruined KISS for me...they looked like the Beatles in comparison
The first time I saw him was at 1979 Day on the Green MONSTERS OF ROCK and AC/DC was there (with Bon Scott). Others included; Aerosmith, Mahogany Rush and Saint Paradise.
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!
That is very True. I couldn’t count all the Hours I spent Practicing to Records or Tapes. You had to learn it on your own. Now you click on UA-cam and they will slow a Song down, and Teach you every Lead part slowly. It’s easy to learn now. Back then t took a lot of dedication and hard work.
That’s very not true. All of the hot licks VHS/DVDs came out before UA-cam. Guitar magazines existed before UA-cam. Don’t project your excuses. Work hard before it’s too late. Your excuses will burn you the longer you sit on them.
These days when people think of Ted Nugent, they think of the crazy behaving, high strung hunter and political guru. But what most people seem to have forgotten, is that it was his GUITAR that put his face on the map...Not his politics or his hobbies! Ted’s a BEAST!!
@@shittayone7420 no you're thinking about The Dead's Mexicali Blues..or the Beatles i saw her standing there, or maybe the Police Don't Stand So Close To Me...
I was introduced to Ted Nugent’s music in 1975 when the first solo album was released. My 13 year old ears were immediately dazzled. Insanely talented and creative player. Ted’s playing is pure: no pedals or gimmicks -just an amp, a guitar, and a love of music.
Ted you are the definition of Rock and Roll, no one has the energy that you bring!! Seen you 3 times on New Years eve and that wasn't enough times for me!! Keep Rocking soul brother!!! 😁✌️👍
This mindset, today, would have nu-males clutching their fefe bags in terror and blubbering that "violence" is being done to them. What a useless sack of crap this new generation is smh.
Aside from Ted's awesome playing and tone the most vital thing here is about dedication, endeavour and positive attitude: applicable to just about everything. Fantastic.
Ted’s always been my favorite guitarist since I discovered him,he’s #1but Michael Schenker is close # 2 !! #3 is a complete toss up between lots of awesome songs created by terrific musicians and guitarist !!
I love Uncle Teds sensitive nature.So much charisma for one 24 track studio with teac reel to reel tape machines..Ahh, the old days..Thank You Ted for never changing !
When you need to kill it before you grill it ... just call Ted ... the craving soulful R & R with the finest feedback in all God's creation is just 'what the doctor ordered ' ! Resonating twang is what flows straight out of that solid Gibson Byrd-Land ...
I started playing in the mid 80's and studied Ted. Till this day I can still hear his influence in my playing. No matter what else I learn and play I can still hear it pop in at times.

The man is full of spirit and full of excitement full of love, as well as off-the-cuff spontaneity.... that's the spirit of playing guitar❤ hes basically in a nutshell trying to explain to you that you must go to your inner self and unleash the power that we all have. To become unique.... 🔥 🎸.... just like Ted 👍
I could never be sober in the way he is as I love the occasional beer and smoke a joint a couple times a week but I really appreciate and respect people who are so comfortable being themselves that they never rely on drugs or alcohol. That said this is an amazing guitar lesson and I just love Ted and anyone else who can only be themselves and aren’t afraid to step out.
I been listening to uncle ted since the amboy dukes days. My uncle always steered us towards good music when we kids. Every Xmas it was a few good albums. AC/DC highway to hell 77. Nugent all his albums. On Vinyl and 8 track!! This gets me inspired. I remember watching Miami Vice episode he was in. I saw him 10 times
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
I saw him jump off his fenders at the Silver Dome and land on his face, I think he broke his guitar. It was either that show ,or another, Iggy Pop opened and came out wearing panty hose...................he got pelted by every beer on the main floor, all at once. Good times.
And this was the year Spirit if the Wild debuted too, that's one helluva badass album with too many excellent guitar licks and riffs to count. After 20 years he released one of his greatest albums.
I know exactly what Ted Nugent is saying as a Harmonica (HARP) Player of over 35 yrs. I learned alot from ancient harmonica players as Little Walter, Kim Wilson, Charlie Musslewhite, Sonny Terry, Sonnyboy Wilson, Paul Butterfield and so many greats I attempt to emulate but have developed my own tone and style. But Ted Nugent is from another planet and world like TY Tabor of Kings X. The best!
"If you don't know this, we'll get you a bib." "It's so simple it's stupid." 😃 Ah, straight-to-the-balls instruction from the Motor City Madman. "Just be like me!" 😆
@@stevo8782 No I'm not I've never in all my life heard a critique of capitalism by a right winger. They're unknowingly taking a position that it's perfect.
I gave Ted a pick once at a book signing for "Kill It And Grill It" that was made from a silver quarter run over by an Amtrak train and then carefully machined for extreme sonic bombast. Just ask Ted about it. He won't remember!
This guy can really Jam! Saw Teddy play live at Binghamton Veterans Memorial Arena back in the mid nineties. It was worth every penny. Paid around $10 bucks for a concert ticket back then. Now they cost $50 bucks plus!
I went from playing acoustic to playing electric in the 70’s because of one single riff. Cat Scratch Fever. Then VH dropped that first iconic album with no BS and the journey of tone chasing started. Ted sparked it for me though.
This is absolutely HILARIOUS. Can't believe I'd never seen it before. When I was in middle school & early high school I went through a good few years of listening to a lot of this guy (one of very first concert experiences). 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. I swear to you, I get a very Jim Carrey vibe from a lot of this, and would not be surprised if Carrey studied this over and over while he was getting his own early thing together. Unbelievable...
I’m a Detroit kid. Ted married a girl I went to school with. Great family. Nice people. Ted’s in show business - an entertainer - and he’s a legend. Figure it out on your own.
Ted Nugget was my first guitar hero, I played Cat Scratch Fever till I wore a grove through my record. Then Van Halen came along and I begged my dad for an electric guitar 🤘🏼🎸🎵
A friend told me about his first Ted Nugent concert where the lights went down, there was an ominous silence then a blood curdling scream followed by a wild man with a guitar leaping off the lighting rig going straight into a song...!
Als ich das erste Mal Great White Buffalo gehört hatte, war es um mich geschehen. Ted ist grandios, ich liebe sein Spiel. Ein äußerst unterhaltsamer Erklärbär.
More importantly he’s being musical about his playing. Anyone can call themselves metal and most that do aren’t even that musical. Allot people just scream their heads off and beat on their instruments. I don’t care too much for it personally..
You can see a lot of similarities between Ted and Randy Rhoads. Cat Scratch Fever has similar structure as Suicide Solution, Flying High Again, and some others.
Went to a lot of concerts in the 80s, but Ted was the loudest and the most kickass guitar player I liked the best. Needs to be in the Rocken Roll Hall of Fame Now while he's still around. Do it NOW PEOPLE! Saw him in Portland Me. Best show I ever saw. Thanks Ted,
I can fully agree with that ! I never really thought about it ! guess I just have always assumed he already was…. 2023 ! Induct Uncle TED Damn it ! Or the whole Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame thing really won’t mean much in the future! If a dude can be a monster player like that for 45 YEARS! and still not get in… as far as I’m concerned… that is a Serious Oversight on their part! That needs to be addressed This Year! 2023 R’nR hall of fame inductee Ted mf’kn Nugent !!
Ted Nugent is one of my favorite master guitarists. Guitarist, singer, songwriter, performer----Uncle Ted is the TOTAL PACKAGE DEAL. Plus, he was ALWAYS gorgeous to watch...Mmmmmm. Loved him since I was a kid listening to the Amboy Dukes "Journey To The Center Of The Mind" sounds even better now than it did back then. Ted Nugent is simply THAT fantastic!!!
Ted Nugent one of my all time favorite guitarists who I've seen many times over the years a huge inspiration to creating recording and playing music awesome ferocious intense Rock 'n' Roll, I bought this video on VHS tape back in 1995 at Chuck Levins Washington Music Center a fantastic video to get fired up, motivated to play, learn and Rock Out!!!
I saw Ted in Lubbock Texas back in the day. He ended the show by hanging his guitar on his amp cab (while it was still plugged in) and then shooting it with a crossbow. Dude is awesome.
Thank you so much for this upload! I was blessed to see Ted in the 80s when he performed in Chattanooga, Tennessee. As a young 16 year old guitar player he had a great impact on me. He is a one-of-a-kind and has some of the best facial expressions. -Sometimes reminding me of Jim Carey.
I really injoy your story never niind your show having the great white Buffalo on stage, your on top ridering the Buffalo across the stage, what a show ,classic
Yeah his left hand nothing spectacular his right hand is incredible ,the musicality that comes out of it especially Fred Bear great White Buffalo and so many more
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.
@@jamesthe-doctor8981 He is also playing a short scale guitar. 23", I think, as opposed to the typical 24.75" gibson scale. makes a huge difference. Stupid fun to play. You can bend strings all to hell, and makes the player look bigger than they really are.
And he doesn't really know a lot about playing guitar either. He does have a decent technique, but he is bending all the weak notes, his phrases have no beginning and no end, and his timing is somewhere in between vague and non-existant making him sound in some ways like a beginner.
when I was a teenager, my Dad and other rock haters called it ''jungle music'' .Ted's guitar produces jungle music, and that is a compliment. something about Detroit bands. they're like urban jungle musicians.
Did you notice@ 32:34 he says he is using Peavey 5150 but the peavey isn't even powered on !? The blonde showman is powered on and sounds just like Ted's tone from the past 30+years so I don't think he's using the Peavey amp even though he says it in the video, must be a sponsorship thing !?
@@docnova that "she man" could kick your ass nine ways to Sunday. Ted Nugent has always been the real deal. Killer attack as a human being and guitar player.
@@barrymiller2272 I would never harm a maiden with such luscious hair. She ain’t no Joan Jett, much more. She’s just a panther on the runway and on the guitar. Plus one more Nugent of truth for you (see what I did there). I’m pretty sure she said she was into chicks, plus she looks mean with that bow man. I’m not going up against that. Much respect though for defending the little lady, but she looks like she’s got more spark than a Detroit piston (also see what I did there). Big fan of her playing on Stray Cat Strut. You got taste my man!
FINALLY there is a REAL Rock Star that uses an ultra-thin pick like me. It seems like all the other big fish prefer these super rigid thick picks. I’ve been using ultra-thin Dunlop nylon picks my entire life and simply can’t use anything else.
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 …
I seen Sweaty uncle Teddy open up for ZZ Top in Orlando. It was 2003 I went with my dad which was the only concert I ever seen with my dad. I was 18 and my dad was turning 47 so, he seen in the past, Crosby's Stills Nash and Young in the 1970's at a dog track. This was Florida he also seen Foghat in January of 1977 with Rick Derringer opening up at Tampa Curtis Hixon Hall. 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. ZZ Top/Ted Nugent, That was the best concert I've ever been to because my Father was with me and he wasn't drunk or high. 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 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!!

The first time I saw him was at 1979 Day on the Green MONSTERS OF ROCK and AC/DC was there (with Bon Scott). Others included; Aerosmith, Mahogany Rush and Saint Paradise.
8 or 9 shows for me....shook hands...Yuuuup!!!
Ted is Legendary... Man has more riffs n licks chatting between songs live than most bands have songs... Pure Rock n Roll...
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!
That is very True. I couldn’t count all the Hours I spent Practicing to Records or Tapes. You had to learn it on your own. Now you click on UA-cam and they will slow a Song down, and Teach you every Lead part slowly. It’s easy to learn now. Back then t took a lot of dedication and hard work.
Pick up the needle, go back a few grooves..... hit rewind.... 8 tracks made it impossible though :)
That’s very not true. All of the hot licks VHS/DVDs came out before UA-cam. Guitar magazines existed before UA-cam. Don’t project your excuses. Work hard before it’s too late. Your excuses will burn you the longer you sit on them.
These days when people think of Ted Nugent, they think of the crazy behaving, high strung hunter and political guru. But what most people seem to have forgotten, is that it was his GUITAR that put his face on the map...Not his politics or his hobbies! Ted’s a BEAST!!
Is he still writing songs about pedophilia,

That's not Ted! That's Jim Carey in a wig.
I was introduced to Ted Nugent’s music in 1975 when the first solo album was released. My 13 year old ears were immediately dazzled. Insanely talented and creative player. Ted’s playing is pure: no pedals or gimmicks -just an amp, a guitar, and a love of music.
and American conservative spirit of the wild
He is a master at controlling feedback. If you watch old footage you will see him going to different places on the stage to get certain tones.
I was 13 in 1975 also. We lived Ted Nugent back then. That Lp was as thin as cat's wisker.
Ted's a legend. 2 minutes into a guitar tutorial and he's showing his night vision scopes. Awesome

This shows the mind on rock and roll--Nugent is stone cold sober--it's not drugs or alcohol.
This mindset, today, would have nu-males clutching their fefe bags in terror and blubbering that "violence" is being done to them. What a useless sack of crap this new generation is smh.

Aside from Ted's awesome playing and tone the most vital thing here is about dedication, endeavour and positive attitude: applicable to just about everything. Fantastic.
Ted is one of the reasons I have played guitar most of my life. thanks Ted!
This man is one of the all time greatest American guitarists ever.
Correct
Top 3 Young , Stills, Nugent.
Ted’s always been my favorite guitarist since I discovered him,he’s #1but Michael Schenker is close # 2 !! #3 is a complete toss up between lots of awesome songs created by terrific musicians and guitarist !!
Lmao
Politics has zero to do with musical talent. With respect to musical talent, Ted is an average guitarist and bungling songwriter.
I love Uncle Teds sensitive nature.So much charisma for one 24 track studio with teac reel to reel tape machines..Ahh, the old days..Thank You Ted for never changing !

that's the spirit of playing guitar❤ hes basically in a nutshell trying to explain to you that you must go to your inner self and unleash the power that we all have. To become unique.... 🔥 🎸.... just like Ted 👍
Ted is awesome. Never met him but I am friends with DERRICK Saint Holmes. He is a great guy and a great musician.
I could never be sober in the way he is as I love the occasional beer and smoke a joint a couple times a week but I really appreciate and respect people who are so comfortable being themselves that they never rely on drugs or alcohol. That said this is an amazing guitar lesson and I just love Ted and anyone else who can only be themselves and aren’t afraid to step out.
Well said! 👍
Nugent justified his entire existence with Great White Buffalo on Double Live. Some of the most exiting sounds ever wrung from an electric guitar.
Great song!🌅
Is Derek St. John on that album?
@@mikequinlivan8842 Derek is on it!
😎👍
Also Hibernation!!
Derek St Holmes?
I been listening to uncle ted since the amboy dukes days. My uncle always steered us towards good music when we kids. Every Xmas it was a few good albums. AC/DC highway to hell 77. Nugent all his albums. On Vinyl and 8 track!!
This gets me inspired. I remember watching Miami Vice episode he was in. I saw him 10 times
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
Mark Farner from Grand Funk did the same thing on Foot Stomping Music.
I saw him jump off his fenders at the Silver Dome and land on his face, I think he broke his guitar. It was either that show ,or another, Iggy Pop opened and came out wearing panty hose...................he got pelted by every beer on the main floor, all at once. Good times.
@@brianmartin6808 I love Grandfunk!

My Hero!! Ted ruled the 70’s. He says what he wants and means what he says!! He is a true red blooded American. His guitar playing is unmistakable.
Ted Nugent
I seen him in concert at the New Haven
Civic Center
Back in 1986
He's one of the best Guitarist 🎸 ever ❤️ ♥️
And this was the year Spirit if the Wild debuted too, that's one helluva badass album with too many excellent guitar licks and riffs to count.
After 20 years he released one of his greatest albums.
I know exactly what Ted Nugent is saying as a Harmonica (HARP) Player of over 35 yrs. I learned alot from ancient harmonica players as Little Walter, Kim Wilson, Charlie Musslewhite, Sonny Terry, Sonnyboy Wilson, Paul Butterfield and so many greats I attempt to emulate but have developed my own tone and style. But Ted Nugent is from another planet and world like TY Tabor of Kings X. The best!
I am just loving this video
UNCLE TED IS THE BEST! Getting to meet him a LONG TIME AGO was a privilege .
He signed my 74 tele in 1994 and played it.
"If you don't know this, we'll get you a bib." "It's so simple it's stupid." 😃
Ah, straight-to-the-balls instruction from the Motor City Madman. "Just be like me!"
😆
Teddy always gives me the urge to fight commies.
Or read a book

I gave Ted a pick once at a book signing for "Kill It And Grill It" that was made from a silver quarter run over by an Amtrak train and then carefully machined for extreme sonic bombast. Just ask Ted about it. He won't remember!
This guy can really Jam! Saw Teddy play live at Binghamton Veterans Memorial Arena back in the mid nineties. It was worth every penny. Paid around $10 bucks for a concert ticket back then. Now they cost $50 bucks plus!
The man is full of himself. As all of us should be. Love you Ted. God bless.
Especially rock stars...I want them to be larger than life And full of themselves 😎🤘
Too much
Yeah but at the same time he is bloody funny 😂🥳🤗
No such thing
The VHS I have of this starts off with him blasting an electric piano with a shotgun.
So funny, Uncle Ted is the best. He's my home town hero.
When he walks over and says it was pregnant and picks up the mini synth lmfao
love those constant volume knob and pickup switch changes in stranglehold. Wow!!!! He can kill and restart a note so fast.
I went from playing acoustic to playing electric in the 70’s because of one single riff. Cat Scratch Fever. Then VH dropped that first iconic album with no BS and the journey of tone chasing started. Ted sparked it for me though.
This is absolutely HILARIOUS. Can't believe I'd never seen it before. When I was in middle school & early high school I went through a good few years of listening to a lot of this guy (one of very first concert experiences). 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. I swear to you, I get a very Jim Carrey vibe from a lot of this, and would not be surprised if Carrey studied this over and over while he was getting his own early thing together. Unbelievable...
39 days in the swamp and I still like Nugent and despise Carry 😂😆
I thought for a minute I was watching a Jim Carrey of Ted. However, I think Ted is going playing it straight here.
“I don’t know I just play the damn thing.” All hail Uncle Ted.
I'm having trouble attaching my Ted Nugent night vision scope to the neck of my Gibson Hollow body. :))

You need to apply the Ted Nugent 'Hot Doe in Heat Urine' on to the neck first, and let it get tacky.

@@DrLoverLover”on your own”.
@@andyorr1597 Politics and ego aside, he's an insightful guy.
Ted Nugget was my first guitar hero, I played Cat Scratch Fever till I wore a grove through my record. Then Van Halen came along and I begged my dad for an electric guitar 🤘🏼🎸🎵
This vid is an hour long, the same time it took to record it. One take Ted, amazing and authentic. So many gold guitar playing nuggets.
In the music world, this is honesty. He's funking awesome!
A friend told me about his first Ted Nugent concert where the lights went down, there was an ominous silence then a blood curdling scream followed by a wild man with a guitar leaping off the lighting rig going straight into a song...!
A guitar lesson from Ted Nugent is like an acting lesson from Steven Seagal.
Als ich das erste Mal Great White Buffalo gehört hatte, war es um mich geschehen. Ted ist grandios, ich liebe sein Spiel. Ein äußerst unterhaltsamer Erklärbär.
He doesn’t get enough credit for just how metal he really is
More importantly he’s being musical about his playing. Anyone can call themselves metal and most that do aren’t even that musical. Allot people just scream their heads off and beat on their instruments. I don’t care too much for it personally..
You can see a lot of similarities between Ted and Randy Rhoads. Cat Scratch Fever has similar structure as Suicide Solution, Flying High Again, and some others.
For Ted to be so open about his guitar technique shows what a great person he is. Many other players hide and protect technique. Thanks Teddy!!!!
Went to a lot of concerts in the 80s, but Ted was the loudest and the most kickass guitar player I liked the best. Needs to be in the Rocken Roll Hall of Fame Now while he's still around. Do it NOW PEOPLE! Saw him in Portland Me. Best show I ever saw. Thanks Ted,
With all due respect, the Rock n Roll H.O.F. is a Joke , Corperation. We'll probably see Maroon 5 or the Jonas Brothers in there before "The Nuge".
I can fully agree with that ! I never really thought about it ! guess I just have always assumed he already was…. 2023 ! Induct Uncle TED Damn it ! Or the whole Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame thing really won’t mean much in the future! If a dude can be a monster player like that for 45 YEARS! and still not get in… as far as I’m concerned… that is a Serious Oversight on their part! That needs to be addressed This Year!
2023 R’nR hall of fame inductee Ted mf’kn Nugent !!
They're truly afraid of him. He doesn't fit their politics, which is really a shame.
Ted Nugent is one of my favorite master guitarists. Guitarist, singer, songwriter, performer----Uncle Ted is the TOTAL PACKAGE DEAL. Plus, he was ALWAYS gorgeous to watch...Mmmmmm. Loved him since I was a kid listening to the Amboy Dukes "Journey To The Center Of The Mind" sounds even better now than it did back then. Ted Nugent is simply THAT fantastic!!!
👍
Ted Nugent one of my all time favorite guitarists who I've seen many times over the years a huge inspiration to creating recording and playing music awesome ferocious intense Rock 'n' Roll, I bought this video on VHS tape back in 1995 at Chuck Levins Washington Music Center a fantastic video to get fired up, motivated to play, learn and Rock Out!!!
I saw Ted in Lubbock Texas back in the day. He ended the show by hanging his guitar on his amp cab (while it was still plugged in) and then shooting it with a crossbow. Dude is awesome.
Thank you so much for this upload! I was blessed to see Ted in the 80s when he performed in Chattanooga, Tennessee. As a young 16 year old guitar player he had a great impact on me. He is a one-of-a-kind and has some of the best facial expressions. -Sometimes reminding me of Jim Carey.
I love the Motor City Madman, and have since I was a kid!!! Wahi' Valleys
I really injoy your story never niind your show having the great white Buffalo on stage, your on top ridering the Buffalo across the stage, what a show ,classic
When Ted plugs a guitar into an amp be positively blows all contenders away
Man, his right hand for rhythm is incredible.
I'm so used to watching his left.
I also really like the faux slide thing he demonstrates.
Ikr his picking is ferocious. I also noticed his thumb rotations during alternate picking. Very impressive.
Yeah his left hand nothing spectacular his right hand is incredible ,the musicality that comes out of it especially Fred Bear great White Buffalo and so many more
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.
@@jamesthe-doctor8981 He is also playing a short scale guitar. 23", I think, as opposed to the typical 24.75" gibson scale. makes a huge difference. Stupid fun to play. You can bend strings all to hell, and makes the player look bigger than they really are.
Flamenco players have tremendous technique with their right hands
Dude really is just a goddamn living legend! In an absolute f****** bad-ass. And there is just no denying that and he does not get enough credit.
Love him or hate him, this man knows his way around a guitar, and not a bad sense of humor either! LOL.
Love him!!!
It tastes even yummier at 2am....
He do actually have a bad sense of humour. Or rather no sense.
And he doesn't really know a lot about playing guitar either. He does have a decent technique, but he is bending all the weak notes, his phrases have no beginning and no end, and his timing is somewhere in between vague and non-existant making him sound in some ways like a beginner.
@@hepphepps8356 lol dude you have no idea what your talking about. Your assessment of Ted's playing is ridiculous.
NUGE Will always be The Greatest American Hard Rock Guitar God IMHO!!
Ted lives it. The man.
It's great to have laughter with music thank you
when I was a teenager, my Dad and other rock haters called it ''jungle music'' .Ted's guitar produces jungle music, and that is a compliment. something about Detroit bands. they're like urban jungle musicians.
The 2nd solo in Dog Eat Dog is fun & easy. Has always been one of my favorites 😎👍
It's hard to realize that was 29 years ago....
This is the best thing I’ve seen in ages, and I’m a drummer! Love Ted!
I must have watched this video a hundred times when it came out. Learned a lot about some of his techniques that I use in my playing still today. 👍
Did you notice@ 32:34 he says he is using Peavey 5150 but the peavey isn't even powered on !? The blonde showman is powered on and sounds just like Ted's tone from the past 30+years so I don't think he's using the Peavey amp even though he says it in the video, must be a sponsorship thing !?

FINALLY there is a REAL Rock Star that uses an ultra-thin pick like me. It seems like all the other big fish prefer these super rigid thick picks. I’ve been using ultra-thin Dunlop nylon picks my entire life and simply can’t use anything else.
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 …
I seen Sweaty uncle Teddy open up for ZZ Top in Orlando. It was 2003 I went with my dad which was the only concert I ever seen with my dad. I was 18 and my dad was turning 47 so, he seen in the past, Crosby's Stills Nash and Young in the 1970's at a dog track. This was Florida he also seen Foghat in January of 1977 with Rick Derringer opening up at Tampa Curtis Hixon Hall. 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. ZZ Top/Ted Nugent, That was the best concert I've ever been to because my Father was with me and he wasn't drunk or high. 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!!
Holy shit when he plays slide guitar with no slide, thats incredible 12:12

Couldn’t hurt to try just one time though, right?
